IIRC its always been part of the premise, that the creator of the puppets left Europe because of WWII.

Toulon is like Magneto; the Nazis' cruelty twisted their gifts into something dark and terrible.

I can see that. I'm still not a fan of this jamming numbers loving everywhere in titles poo poo though, for some reason at first glance I read it as the Hopeful Eight.

Looking at his track record, I figure there's an 80% chance this movie will be good. That EW poster gives me pause but I hope the official poster will be as good as I've seen from his movies in the past. Does he have any say in these? I figured with the control I assume he has nowadays, he would have more than most working directors, but that's all just guessing. I love that he keeps giving people out of the public eye roles and I've always loved JJL.

The MSJ posted:This is apparently a comedy about a chef. Not that the poster tells you much except that Bradley Cooper is a really handsome dude. I mean, he's just sitting there. At least make him hold a skillet and a knife in a really attractive manner or something. This movie has a new title now. And with a new poster that's pretty much the old one with a new background.  They better start showing him doing some cooking or something.

What do you mean, Tarantino posters are usually pretty bland (characters posing in front of blank backgrounds). Pulp Fiction's the only one I'd consider iconic.

I liked Louie as much as the next guy but I really wish people would stop putting Louis CK in movies. At least until he can learn to not stammer and trip over delivering any lines that he didn't write himself.

I like this cast enough, but the poster's kinda poo poo. What's going on with the tagline? And Bryan Cranston's forehead? It feels like it's harking back to a specific style, like 90s movie posters, but doesn't look quite right.

Thirty minutes into the film, Cranston's character dies and someone else takes over as protagonist.

I can't really find many styles off the top off my head, but it's in the classic ensemble vein of.  It's also an curious design callback as the film is set in the 1940's so the whole typewriter stuff is fitting the plot (Cranston plays a blacklisted script writer).

It looks like they're trying for a Woody Allen feel with that typeface. But overall it's just ugly and forced looking. Better suited for a play than a movie.

"Are you now or have you ever been TRUMBO" is possibly the worst tagline of all time.

Wendell posted:"Are you now or have you ever been TRUMBO" is possibly the worst tagline of all time. "Are you now or have you ever been..." refers to the text in the background. "a loyalist", "a Stalinist", "a traitor", "a husband", etc. They just did a really lovely job of getting that across, so instead it comes off as "Are you now or have you ever been...TRUMBO"

Waffleman_ posted:Motherfucker, I can't believe it took me this long to get the Godzilla joke. Yeah, but killing Cranston was a HUGE mistake. He was just on a podcast I listened to, and he actually mentions he raised that very point when he saw his character was dead by page 50. His argument was they spent the start of the movie building an emotional center around this character and then they yank him offstage with a huge cane leaving the audience without anyone to identify with for the rest of the movie.

The last Godzilla movie was great and good, start to finish. Some people wanted non-stop action and that would have been dull. What we got was perfect and they are turning it up to 11 in the next movie with King Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan.

The Godzilla parts were good, Godzilla himself was handled fine. The parts with the human soldier dude and his wife were terribad pointless filler bullshit when you had CRAZY DAD or Serizawa who could have been your leads instead. They could have had either of them trying to track Godzilla, try to figure out a weakness, etc. Oh look it's (whatever his military rank was) Fuckup here to not help the situation at all and be the only survivor in a disaster, yet again. They play him up as being Mr bomb disposal, best of the best, and then he can't even do that right. And then his wife is somehow even less useful or interesting. What a waste.

There's no issue with offing a supporting character played by a famous actor early in a film, but when you write, shoot and edit a character as the emotional lead for the entire first act then completely drop them from the story, the audience will loving revolt. It's why Abrams and the Lost writers nixed casting Michael Keaton as Jack Shepard and rewrote the character just before shooting. Shepard was supposed to be the one killed by the monster in the airplane cockpit at the end of the first episode, but they realized they risked alienating the audience by pulling the rug out from under them like that. Godzilla was pee pee and poo poo, if you liked it you should feel bad.
