feedmyleg posted:I think that sort of long-term thinking can only exist when the creator is involved with an IP and has a personal stake in its artistic and critical success. In the studio system turnover is too high and every executive is more worried about hitting yearly earnings projections than the legacy of a franchise. The execs who greenlight a movie are often no longer around by the time a sequel is greenlit, and you end up with a copy of a copy of a copy years down the line. You need to have someone there saying "If we want these things to have staying power for years to come, they actually have to be good." The thing about Star Wars specifically is that we don’t even know how successful it is now, at least in a monetary sense. The franchise has been demoted to “tv” only, and ratings/views do not equal box office (as Warner Bros. learned last year and Peacock is learning right now). Disney is most likely afraid to release a Star War theatrically because of the diminishing returns of Solo and The Rise in Skywalker.

I don't think people would even need to hunt dinosaurs to exterminate them, at least larger ones. Any proximity to human civilization would not leave them with enough habitat to survive along with stuff like vehicle collisions and other ways to indifferently kill them off. As such, I expect this movie to be an extended dream sequence to account for this preposterous scenario

That’s pretty accurate to being a bored annoyed teen. Plus from the story, Dino’s are old poo poo at that point. Not sure when they reopened JW, but people were bored enough that they were upping the ante by making the irex

They mention that interest has dropped a tiny amount like 2 or 3 percent, so I’m almost wondering if that was intentional that a company would freak out over a minor drop instead of constant growth.

Groovelord Neato posted:As stupid as the second movie was I never bought that conceit in the first. JW has some interesting things on its mind, it just chooses the worst possible targets for its ire. Like a lot of media created by aging hacks, it decides that rather than the cynical untalented corporate careerists desperate for relevance, it's the youth who are the problem! Making the entire thematic foundation that ~kids are on their phones too much~ is Dilbert-level social commentary. Had the film made it so that the kids still saw the dinosaurs with awe and wonder, but the board of directors were the ones bored by dinosaurs—then it would start to get interesting. Then their decision to create goofy-looking genetic monstrosities that are totally missing the point of why people like dinosaurs in the first place makes sense and feels like its tapping into something real. Make them akin to a tech company creating a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, out of touch with reality and consumer desires. Turn the social commentary toward the greed and ego and arrogance like JP did. Make cynicism itself the target. But that would have taken too much self-awareness on CT's part, because then thematically he'd be the villain. Instead he sees himself as the brilliant hero trying to save the franchise from the moronic general public who only craves empty flash and spectacle. But he's trying to make fun of lovely corporate blockbusters while making a lovely corporate blockbuster. Thematically every moment of JW is just a "gently caress you" to the audience instead of the "gently caress you" to the studio it could have been if he truly knew how to be subversive. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Feb 11, 2022 |

Very obvious that JW originally had a twist where the designer dinosaur had human DNA. They should have leaned into that kinda stupid. I did laugh at the new trailer when it looked like the villain was "dinosaurs had feathers".

I've said it before and I'll say it again An Academy voter who was wasted and a douche told me that they only watched the dubbed version of CTHD and said he throws away anything subtitled Gladiator was a good movie but had 25% of the depth of Crouching Tiger yes i'm still mad

kiimo posted:Fury Road should have been Best Picture There's a lot to criticise the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for, and "the wrong drat movie won" is just one of them. Their nomination rules are bullshit since they put an extraordinary focus on films released during a roughly 3-month run. It took them 93 loving tries to nominate more than one woman for Best Director, and until then, you could literally count the number of women who the crusty old pale male stale fogeys would deign to nominate in their magnanimity with one hand. But hey, now that they did a bit of that diversity, I guess the nominations are back to being a loving sausage-fest. How about increasing the number of nominees for best director, if you're too obsessed with men to be able to find parity between the genders? Do The Right Thing getting snubbed. For Driving Miss Daisy. gently caress off. The utter bullshit of the 74th Academy Awards, where they snub Mulholland Drive and Memento for Best Picture. gently caress off. Crash beating other nominated films with LGBT content because the voters were clearly a bunch of pale male stale dickheads scared of their own erections, so they go for the movie about "racism is bad" that is also infuriatingly racist. As an actual yellow person, gently caress that loving movie. Yeah, solly solly we yerrows am sneaky olientals. gently caress off, Paul Haggis. I can't even imagine how someone who is Middle Eastern might have felt about that movie, considering the way they were portrayed wasn't much better. "Best Picture" has often ignored actual excellence in film genres. Where was Hereditary in its year? Or Paddington 2? kiimo posted:I've said it before and I'll say it again Academy voters should be made to attend screenings of all nominated films, under supervision, and given a test about the content and themes & ideas of the film, and struck off the voter register if they fail. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Feb 12, 2022 |

I dunno, I could kind of see the logic in the most popular movie of the year being included by default. There’s 10 spots for best picture, having one of them each year given to the biggest film as a hat tip to their popularity won’t break things. It’s not like the highest grossing films each year are all Paul Blart Mall Cop, they’re usually *at worst* competently made genre flicks. I’d argue that even the worst MCU films have as much artistic merit as loving Crash.

The Academy Awards this year feel even more unnecessary than any I can remember but maybe that's just me still not really leaving my house. I've only seen two of the nominated movies this year and I work in the industry.
