"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Heh. I not only know what Godzilla movie that's from, but what scene and what's happening.  :coolsmiley:

Yeah, Universal has been wanting to go for a Classic Monsters Shared Universe Avengersmoneyfranchise for a while. Heck, to be fair they invented the concept with Frankenstein vs. the Wolf Man (though they proved kind-of inept about how to keep it going afterward.)

I would have been happy with launches based on their recent Wolf Man and Dracula Untold, both of which I enjoyed a lot more than I was expecting, but eh... I have no great confidence this will work out (especially with those, um, auteurs involved). But I'm not rooting for it to fail; I'll be happy if it's even good.
