Thank you all for being here, I’m glad to hang around so many that dig films, 80s cartoons and nerd culture, I’m especially thankful for those of you that love comic books or are willing to give them a try. There is nothing in nerd culture that I am more passionate for.
The art of the comic book. Wow!
Tom Cruise says it originally took six hours for the “Digger” hair and makeup team to apply his Digger Rockwell prosthetics, but he quickly made the process “more efficient” by showing up with a chalkboard and timing how long it took to put each prosthetic on:
“I had a guy there with a stopwatch and I’m like, ‘OK, you see that time, six hours? By the time we’re done, we’re going to get it under an hour.’ They were like, ‘No, I’m not doing that, it will never happen.’ I’m like, ‘OK, first of all, if you say no, you can’t do it, you will never get there. So can we agree that we’ll maybe make it a little less?’ So with each piece that was going on, it was timed and then we’d drill and practice.”
It worked, and they eventually got his makeup and prosthetics routine down to under an hour: “They were like, ‘What?!’ And they didn’t even know it, and they didn’t even rush. I like going into a system, studying it and trying to figure out how I can do it better, more efficient. The films that I make, I’m constantly going, how can I do it better?”

Awe sh-t! Here we go!!!! Straight from the mouth of the HBO boss!!!
Lanterns Season 2 is not in development.
Neither is Booster Gold.
Asked if anything else is active at DC, HBO boss Casey Bloys gave a clear answer:
“No, not right now.”
The only DC show moving forward at HBO is The People v. Gorilla Grodd.
Lanterns still has three episodes left.
But right now, there is no Season 2 order.

Lanterns, once a show with a lot of potential, quickly lost its appeal after just three episodes. It gained some goodwill from the audience, but that goodwill was quickly traded for discussions about white privilege as the story logic began to unravel.
At this point, Lanterns, along with @JamesGunn’s Peacemaker, serves as a cautionary tale about what not to do with a comic book series.
If you’re going to sink your series with openly shitting on white people, don’t.

We all make mistakes. It’s how we learn and grow to be better men.😔
War is hell. Rodimus failed, didn’t quit, and then saved an untold number of worlds and lives through his actions and bravery.
If they do it, it’ll be in your face with gay men and their cocks, front and center. If you aren’t speaking well of the film as a man, you’ll be a homophobe.
Zack Snyder says that “sex in movies is weirdly gone. I don’t understand it... eroticism in movies has somehow been stomped out.”
“We need an NC-17 movie that’s a hit. If we had an erotic thriller that was NC-17 and it was in IMAX and everyone had to just go do it, maybe that would lift the stigma.”
