The CCD Podcast: Episode #63 - Upcoming Comic Movies Through 2020 or "What? 2020 ?!? I Barely Remember Where I Saw Avengers 2 A Few Months Ago!"

We are living in the golden age of comic book movies... that is one thing that can be said with a certainty. On top of the big dogs like Marvel & DC getting their properties green lit to the silver screen, we are noticing a bunch of indy titles also getting adaptions into movies. I never thought I would be alive to see a great Spider Man or Avengers movie in my life.... I certainly didn't ever think we would see indy titles like Kick Ass, Scott Pilgrim, and The Losers made into a full length feature. There are even a whole bunch of movies made in the last 10 years that ARE actual adaptions of comics that most viewers have NO IDEA were originally COMICS! (From Hell, Road To Perdition, A History of Violence just to name a few) So with recent announcements for the upcoming slate of comic movies getting more and more crowded, the CCD gang decided to jump into the mix and discuss some of our thoughts and expectations for all of these films. We are looking toward the future... and man, does the future of comic book movies look bright!

Ben Affleck On The Internet Criticism Of Being The New Batman - "I Handle Shit..."

For a long time I was one of the dissenting internet trolls who constantly questioned casting decisions. The turning point for me was The Dark Knight... I couldn't believe that they cast Heath Ledger as the Joker, and then he proceeded to kill. So after that I decided to ease off on the critiques till AFTER someone actually performs in a movie and sucks. I have stuck by that mantra for a while... an honestly, things have not stopped on the Internet critiques but they have been much slower since Ledger-gate. Up until last month, when Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in Batman vs Superman. Then the Internet hatred exploded in a way I have not seen in quite a long time. It was epic. Even among my Facebook friends... nobody thinks that Big Ben could be the Dark Knight. But I believe. I truly do. So everyone has been waiting to hear what Affleck himself had to say about the casting and the fallout. And that came to an end last night after Ben appeared on Jimmy Fallon and gave us a glimpse into what its like to be the most hated man on the Internet. Pretty fantastic reaction, if you ask me.
