And you are here why?

At the National Post ,  Steve Murray has a wonderful description of the difference between Marvel and DC movies .  In short, DC went all in on GrimDark™, and Marvel bet on "Fun". Back in the ’60s when Marvel Comics characters such as Thor first appeared in their books, they were complex, well-rounded antidotes to the campy, consequence-free narratives of DC Comics’ Superman and Batman. However, somewhere along the way to modern movie appearances, the managers of the DC characters mistook complex for mirthless, and Marvel has managed to balance their history of multi-dimensional characters with a sense of fun onscreen. You come back to Marvel movies for the characters, not the spectacle. Now this, of course, is a Cultural Lesson gleaned from 2013, but I don’t think DC and their parent company, Warner Bros. are going to change tactics with the 2015  Superman  sequel featuring a Ben Affleck Batman. It will undoubtably have the dark palette and brooding characte...

Yup. per Variety Star Partners and Hummingbird Prods. are collaborating on production of a sequel to  Frank Capra ’s iconic 1946 movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which starred  Jimmy Stewart  and  Donna Reed . The sequel, titled “It’s A Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story,” is being financed by Allen J. Schwalb of Star Partners who will also produce along with Bob Farnsworth of Hummingbird. The duo are aiming to get the movie into theaters for the 2015 holiday season. Because, seriously, it had  to have a sequel, right? What d'you bet that they'll somehow manage to throw in a bit of the good ol' GrimDark™ action?
