Roth posted:What is this based on? I know less about Spielberg, but I know for Lucas he did oversee the editing of A New Hope so it seems a bit silly to perpetuate the idea that Marcia Lucas somehow salvaged his movie without his knowledge. who said it was without his knowledge?

thrawn527 posted:People who post action movies that happen to take place at Christmas (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Long Kiss Goodnight) in an effort to be different always strike me as silly. Like, I think you know what everyone is talking about, and you're impressing no one. I don't think it's an effort to be different, I think it's just that those movies are good and most "Christmas Movies" suck

Lobok posted:Moon Knight's costume is maybe the most extreme version of how colouring and shading in comics can produce a radically different costume visually compared to what it's "supposed" to look like. He'll be wearing a costume that is clearly all white but then you'll see something in dialogue or the narration about how his costume has lots of black. And then there designs that actually are definitely black. Or parts that should be white, like his mask, but are so often in shadow they are effectively black. Yeah it's a costume that can look loving awesome in the comic book medium but is very hard to make work in live action. Another reason comics are a superior medium. Still, this is the rare contemporary Marvel Studios project that actually interests me, I love the character, I love Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, and I love Benson & Moorhead who are directing a couple episodes (I know directors on Marvel projects rarely get to do anything interesting but who knows). I have no idea who told Oscar to do the goofy British accent though. I hope it was his own idea.

feedmyleg posted:For some reason every time I read Alex Garland I think Andrew Niccol. It means that the way my brain processes any news of a new Garland project is: I get excited because it's something from the creator of Gattaca, disappointed because I remember what his careers was like after Gattaca, then excited again because I remember who the news is actually about. I liked Lord of War

confused posted:Man... I'm getting old. I can't believe Crystal Skull came out 14 years ago. I never saw it. I'm actually surprised to see that the last Spielberg movie I've seen was Catch Me If You Can. I've seen all of his movies up until that one, but none of them since then. Any that I really should watch? Minority Report came out the same year as Catch Me If You Can and it rocks, Munich is very good, Lincoln is okay.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:The visual aesthetic is way ahead of its time, but the plot devices are absolute fluff, it's simply not weird enough for PKD and leans hard on cliche. I actually kinda like the way PKD's cynical weirdness butts up against Spielberg's populism. It's similar to the clashing tones in AI, but it works better in Minority Report IMO. I do wish they had kept the originally scripted title card at the end about the murder rate shooting back up once they stopped using the precogs
