Big Mean Jerk posted:It’s a dumb joke but also yeah, 100% authentic. It’s definitely going to be bad, but maybe it’ll at least be a fun Saturday afternoon watch once it’s on streaming. Yeah, it seems stupid enough to be entertaining to put on in the background or what not. Feel like entertainingly bad isn't the worst way to go for a D&D film to be honest. Far better than generically mediocre.

muscles like this! posted:Big surprise but the new Children of the Corn reboot is getting bad reviews. Apparently they added a weird revenge angle where the kids hate the adults because the adults killed a bunch of kids in a botched hostage situation. Also a muddled message about GMOs and government subsidies. Other than maybe the first have any of the Children of the Corn films been any good? The original King stories is alright, but um there really isn't much to it.

Chairman Capone posted:It’s funny that between The Black Hole and Star Trek TMP, two of the main Star Wars “copycats” were closer to 2001. And the other was a James Bond movie. I mean it does sort of make sense, as 2001 was a slower very ideas driven movie where as star wars was a very well done pretty basic fantasy movie. lots of writers and directors are cinema nerds who quite like the former more. Most surprising is the studios okayed them. Particularly Disney. Seem to recall their other films weren't going so hot at the time, and there was at least one higher up who really wanted to take Disney into the bit more mature PG adventure area who was the main one behind it getting green lit.

Oh for those interested, there's a pretty good in depth look at The Black Hole here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQMWs7IfsyA It's by Good Bad flicks, which normally looks at horror movie stuff, but yeah goes into quite a bit of details in how it got made and the production and what not.

Is the X-files something that can work in 2023? Conspiracy theories have a lot darker, stupider, and just generally more racists tones these days. Like if they change it to something more like Fringe, hell yeah, or just two FBI agents working weird cryptid type cases that could be cool. But if they start to bring in all the alien/government conspiracy theory stuff.... then nope. The alien/government conspiracy stuff was the worst part of the x-files anyway so would be more than happy with them just ditching that. Oh just noticed it's going to be a animated comedy thing by the guy who did that god awful Paradise PD dreck. So yeah it's going to be complete garbage. If you want a good X-files satire just watch Wellington Paranormal.

TTBF posted:I was in a skepticism group in college as a thing to do and I remember while preparing a presentation I read a paper that was fairly confident that sleep paralysis was 95%+ of demonic possessions, UFO abductions, and ghost encounters. The main thing I remember is the graph of these things over time as movies came out, which was their attempt to show that the total amount of these things was always pretty similar but the ratio at which they appeared was heavily influenced by pop culture. This is just because demons, Aliens, and Ghosts like messing with people when they have sleep paralysis obviously. Next time any of you have sleep paralysis, remember this!

I just had a look through all the rights that MGM held, and yeah they all seem to be in wild different genre, and none that would work as fun trash cross over movies. Like pink panther, if they had another sort of goofy franchise with similar vibes, A well played Inspector Clouseau could actually work dropping in as a detective. Franchise cross-overs only seem to work if the franchise are a bit goofy and self aware to begin with. Although Aliens, the first movies at least weren't and still reckons aliens vs predator could of worked if the movies weren't poo poo. They should totally try and work out a Thomas Crown V Robcop movie though. It's a natural fit!

Cooked Auto posted:The neat part is that the creator of the game, David Szymanski (most known for DUSK), is also involved with the project. With Andrew Hulshult (behind the music for both a ton of indie shooters and the Doom Eternal DLC) is making the soundtrack. Not really sure about Markiplier, really don't know much about him, but those two being involved makes the project a lot more interesting. At the very least seems like it will have a great soundtrack. But yeah good idea for low budget indie.

kalel posted:it's a testament to hot fuzz's quality that people talk about Edgar wright in the same category as other distinguished directors when the rest of his ouerve is decidedly mid on average Well yeah, there's plenty of directors that have never done anything nearly as good as Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the dead, so I'm happy to still think of him a very good director. There do apparently seem to be a few directors/artists who just had one or two really great workers in them and after that just seemed to only be able to put out pretty middling stuff. I know I'd certainly be happy with my career if I made something on the level of Hot Fuzz and then nothing else but crap.

Always love it when you can very viably see an actor go between wearing a wig and not in a scene because of obvious re-shoots.

Baron von Eevl posted:Samurai Cop isn't because they were doing reshoots, the lead just got a haircut halfway through production and it never occurred to him that he probably shouldn't do that. The lead didn't know they hadn't finished filming because they'd stop shooting for months and he hadn't heard anything from the producer director about any more shooting being intended. It was perfectly reasonable to just assumed they'd finished.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:"Sure, I'm a dog in a dog kennel and I'm really hungry, what if I *high pitched screaming, face splits open*" Honestly pretty relatable. Like who at work while hungry and confused has felt like doing that? The thing is, just the thing, we in our heart of hearts want to be. So what I'm saying is there really should of been a muppets movie remake of the thing.

I know some dreamworks films can look cheap, but this looks real cheap. Half the scenes it looks like they didn't even have enough money to make a background for the shot.
