Late Holiday Fiesta

Welcome to the Fiesta! Sorry to break up the thrilling discussion and record amount of posts, but I feel it was time for a new thread.

This should have been posted BEFORE all of the American holiday festivities, but of course Reddit (where I get all of these links I copy and paste into this column) decided to black itself out because some admin got fired. Now, I COULD have gone and gathered the links myself, but why work when someone else does it for you?

Last week I asked you what current event you wanted Ben Affleck to make a movie about, and you answered something foreign and un-American.

  • Box Office News: People are still flocking to theaters to find out the fate of the British Assistant character in Jurassic World
  • Check out new trailers for Creed, The Secret In Their Eyes, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Magic Mike XXL and Terminator: Genisys
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: ... literally nothing I've ever heard of

  • In honor of the new Terminator movie, Entertainment Weekly attempts to follow the entire timeline
  • The Church of Scientology is threatening anyone who attempts to show a new Scientology documentary
  • Zack Snyder is still defending Man of Steel's ending
  • This Week in Sequel News: Top Gun 2 is confirmed
  • Now you have even more of a reason to visit Peter Jackson's house
  • Even Terminator: Genisys higher-ups think the trailers gave too much away
  • Mortal Kombat and Enter The Dragon are the exact same movie

    I Do, I Do, I Doohoo

    Welcome to the Fiesta, this week with 100% more legal gay marriage! The catch is that your marriage might only last three minutes, and will be officiated by this man:


    Last week I asked you nothing.

  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Legend, Sleeping With Other People, and more!

  • Star Trek 3 has begun filming
  • 21 book franchises that never caught on
  • Toshiro Mifune is getting his own Walk of Fame Star
  • The Essential List of NC-17 Films (NSFW, I assume as I write this from work)

    And that brings us to this week's poll.


    What current event would you like Ben Affleck to make a movie about?
    Gay Marriage Ruling
    Church Shooting/Confederate Flag Drama
    New York Prison Escape
    Bruce Jenner Becomes Caitlyn Jenner
    Something Foreign and Un-American

    ADS BY FIESTABLOCKER

    Sorry for last week's absence. I was housesitting for my parents and had a million things to do and literally forgot about the column until Monday morning. Been dealing with malware lately too. My dumb ass downloaded some shit a few weeks back and despite using 8 billion malware removal tools, the crap keeps coming back. TECHNOLOGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.


    Two weeks ago I asked if you want Tron 3, and you answered no.

  • Box Office News: Jurassic World sets the record for the largest opening weekend ever
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Kung Fu Panda 3, Sicario, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Dope and Inside Out
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: The Forger and Survivor

  • Cancer sucks
  • San Diego Comic Con has become too mainstream for several movie studios
  • As you read in this week's Wednesday Walk, China just got the Star Wars movies for the first time. My personal favorite part of this article is the quotes from the moviegoers referring to the cast as "ugly"
  • Speaking of Star Wars, Forest Whitaker is on his way to the GFFA
  • Come with me if you enjoy charity
  • LEO and Warner Brothers will be teaming to bring us a film version of a popular Japanese graphic novel
  • Halloween returns in Halloween Returns
  • Ten years (!) after the release of Batman Begins, take a look at what we were supposed to get instead

    No poll this week because lazy.

    BREAKING NEWS: Destination America has acquired the rights to a TV version of the Friday Film Fiesta, which will replace TNA Impact. Or not. But welcome back to the Fiesta! For the last week we have had horrible weather here in Texas, and last weekend saw a bunch of tornadoes, rain, and flooding. This caused blackouts and brownouts, and by the time I was able to get to a PC with a steady amount of power, it was Tuesday.

    A Messed Up Schedule

    Welcome to the Friday Film Fiesta... on a Sunday? Yes, thanks to Andy posting the WOTW a few days late, I figured I would be lazy and use that as an excuse to not post a Fiesta on time. Also I ate a pint of ice cream last night and feel sick. WELP.

  • In sequel news, we're getting a sequel to The Last Starfighter along with a sequel to 28 Days Later; we also have a name for the next Planet of the Apes

    A Mother's Fiesta

    Welcome to the Fiesta! Mother's Day is Sunday, so get those cards and gifts ready!

    It's Gonna Bay May

    Come one, come all, to another edition of the Friday Film Fiesta, this time on May Day! And as you've probably seen a gazillion times on Facebook over the last three years, here's the picture of N'Sync era Justin Timberlake proclaiming that it is going to be May!


    Speaking of three years, can you believe that it has been three years since my failed heel turn at the release of the first Avengers movie? My how time flies. In that time span, we've seen poster after poster leave the blog, Jeditab becoming more of a selfish asshole, the end of Jopetoberfest, and Andy becoming a_happyguy? And probably some other unimportant stuff happen too.

    Last week I asked you if you liked the new look of The Joker, and you answered no.

  • Box Office News: Foreign box offices are confusing

    Speaking of things in wrestling that suck, here's some generic chick that is giving "Japanese Wrestling Purists" aneurysms for being Kelly Kelly 2 (meaning she's a perfect fit for the Fiesta!)

    Sunday Selfie Siesta

    Welcome to the Fiesta! Late again, yes I know.

    Here are some Sunday Selfies as my apology to you.





    Last week I asked if you liked the new look of The Thing in the new Fantastic Four movie, and you answered MEHntastic Four.

    Welcome to the Fiesta!

    It's South by Southwest week here in Austin, meaning the streets are flooded with bros in XXXL tanktops, and chicks in muscle shirts and sports bras trying to get free beer and waiting in line for hours to try to get a whiff of a chair that Beyonce might have farted in in 2003.

    But enough about my personal life, here's Bizarro DX from some wrestling video that was released this week.

    Another Delayed Fiesta

    Welcome to the RETURN of the Fiesta!

    Unfortunately there was no column last week, as yours truly was asked to fly out to Hollywood to be a seat filler for the Oscars. As you can imagine, it ended with hilarious results!


    Two weeks ago, I asked... yeah let's never speak of that failed gimmick ever again.

  • Box Office News: Two weeks ago, movie seats were flooded with... nah, not gonna go there. Last weekend, an inspirational movie beats out a movie about "fat and ugly" teenagers and a movie about hot tubs!
  • In Theaters This Week: Focus and The Lazarus Effect
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Foxcatcher and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

  • RIP Leonard Nimoy
  • For those who missed the show like me, here are the results of the Oscars. We also have results of this year's Razzies.
  • Sequelmania is running wild this week, as news has come out that Harrison Ford will be returning for a sequel to Blade Runner. Another franchise getting a sequel will be Alien, and rumor is that this sequel will cancel out some of the crappier sequels from the franchise. We are also apparently getting (or might have already gotten) a sequel to MacGruber
  • Coming soon to theaters: Adventure Time
  • Also coming soon: A movie where Leo plays every character
  • Neill Blomkamp wants to "re-do" Elysium
  • One movie avoiding Sequelmania is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
  • Here is a list of what is both coming to and leaving Netflix in March
  • Not to be outdone by Disney and Star Wars, a theme park based on Lord of the Rings will soon be a reality
  • Movie theaters are still screwing up

    No poll this week as I have been turned on to House of Cards, and my TV has decided it would rather distort sound, so I'm off to fix that. See you next Friday! Or Saturday. Or Sunday. Or...

    Super Fiesta Sunday

    Welcome to the Fiesta... posted on a Friday for the first time in weeks? To be honest though, I was getting pretty used to Saturday Siestas, even if they did seem a bit second rate.

    Speaking of second rate, a hilarious meme came about from a picture of Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson raising Roman Reigns' arm at the Royal Rumble. You probably missed it, so I've decided to post some of the better movie related ones.

    Friday Funeral Fiesta

    Sorry for the delay and half assed effort this week. My grandma passed away last weekend so I've been traveling all week doing funeral related things and just got home yesterday.

    Last week I asked you if you would be upgrading your film collection to Ultra Blu-Ray, and you said no.

  • Box Office News: Taken 3 TAKES people's money lololol
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for The Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Expanse, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: American Sniper, Blackhat, Paddington, Still Alice, and The Wedding Ringer
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Annabelle, The Boxtrolls, The Drop, and Lucy

  • Here are your Oscar nominees for 2015. Razzie nominations have also been released
  • Tom Hardy has dropped out of Suicide Squad
  • Superhero films are NOT ruining Hollywood, says Paul Thomas Anderson
  • George Lucas will be watching The Force Awakens like a normal person. Am I the only person who wants to see a movie that's just George Lucas sitting in a theater and reacting to the movie?
  • Avatar 2 has been delayed until late 2017
  • Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan will not be returning for the new X-Men
  • SPOILER ALERT: these trailers spoil movies
  • We should be getting our first look at the Fantastic Four reboot in February. The writer makes a good point, this movie is a blockbuster set to be released in 7 months, and we haven't even seen as much as a logo for it yet. That cannot be good.

    No poll this week. Enjoy your weekend if you have Monday off (in America; enjoy being whatever nationality you are if you aren't American)!

  • Film studio execs are accused of altering original content in scripts to follow money making formulas, resulting in bland, unoriginal movies

    Two Thousand Fifteen

    Welcome to the first Fiesta of the year 2015! And possibly the last to be posted on RSPWFA2, depending on when we decide to pull the plug on this comatose patient.

    Yes, we skipped last week. But we have enough Canadians posting (or formerly posting) on here that deserve to have a Boxing Day free of copy/pasted movie news and pictures of scantily-clad women!


    Two weeks ago I asked if you thought Sony was right to pull The Interview, and you answered yes. Well weren't we all wrong?!?

  • Box Office News: Two weeks ago, Hobbit 3 beat out a bunch of crap. Last week, it also conquered Christmas!
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Dragon Blade, Entourage: The Movie, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Boyhood, Get On Up, Left Behind, and No Good Deed

  • RIP Christine Cavanaugh, Luise Rainer, and Edward Herrmann
  • We begin 2015 by looking back at 2014's Most Pirated Movies
  • We also have a list of 2014's Most Pirated TV Shows!
  • 2014 also had quite a bit of box office busts
  • 2014 also has the distinction of having the lowest box office ticket sales since 1995 for all of North America
  • The new Ghostbusters reboot apparently won't ruin your childhood
  • Sam Raimi on Spider-Man 3: "I messed up plenty"
  • Speaking of Spider-Man, it could have been worse
  • Why you shouldn't see Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, which can also be used as a good argument as to why splitting up movies into two parts is stupid. There is a difference between remaining faithful to a book/novel and stretching something out for the sake of money *cough*hobbit*cough*
  • That's SIR John Hurt to you
  • Are you a doofus consumer who bought (or received as a gift) Days of Future Past as a gift this holiday season? You big stupid dummy!
  • The most anticipated film of 2015 is...
  • Coming to Netflix in January: The Bat Credit Card!

    And that brings us to this week's poll.
