I would hope that Meryl Streep didn't have a child solely for a cool bit of stunt-casting in 20 years time.

Mamie, Grace, and Louisa are not just her daughters. They are her clones, to prevent the world from ever lacking a Meryl Streep.

Why would you ever go into acting if your mother was Meryl Streep? " Yea, she's alright, not as good as her mom" , " Her mom would have killed that role" , are they just horrible masochists? Meryl Streep is such a good actress when that film comes out it'll turn out those her daughters don't even exist that's how good she is.

I always thought the idea was cool (prevent crime! Good!) but the execution (let's just arrest and lock away in a box people for what they were thinking of doing) to be super hosed up. Why not get some few years of therapy and rehabilitation to address why he/she tried to murder someone and let them go. I mean, if he tries again it'd be premeditated and the precogs would have even more time to pick up on it.

So, the Jem trailer was released. It's... not good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaPg94ABUak What even is the point of making a movie out of a goofy 80s cartoon if you're not going to include the goofy 80s cartoon aspects of it? At least Juliette Lewis is sinking her teeth into the scenery.

Weird. It looks like material ripe for the "Josie and the Pussycats" treatment but that trailer cuts a full-on unironic wish-fulfillment fantasy story. I suppose with the material being so earnest in its 80s incarnation and the "superstar" landscape looking so different in the 2010s than it did in the 1980s it's hard to do a period throwback without alienating the demo of 6-14 year-old girls they're clearly shooting for. I mean it could have worked, but it also likely wouldn't have satisfied kids looking for a pop star fantasy nor Gen X/Milennial douchebags eager for glorious dumb 80s-style cheese.

The answer is: No, they are not supposed to get superpowers at some point, which means I'm not watching this movie. I was hoping that out of nowhere they would get "Kickin' Rad 80's Neon" Super Powers and it would be like Hannah Montana + Spring Breakers + Superheroes.

For some reason I was under the impression that the band in Jem fought crime and this seems not the be the case? If Jem was really Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League I would probably see it.

I also thought that they fought crime and based on the wiki page I guess they do sometimes? Or people are trying to steal the holograms technology and they have to thwart those efforts.

Why even make that a JEM movie? It could be called anything. If you're going to make a JEM movie go completely nuts with cartoony hot pink everything and endless high energy insanity.

Cause if they named and fashioned it after something more generic we wouldn't be talking about it at all right now, nor would it get the same kind-of play it's going to get on the internet circlejerk circuits as people write clickbait railing against JEM not looking like the cartoon while others write counter-bait articles about how it's ok to be a dumb power fantasy movie for young girls and so on generating essentially free press for the movie with demos that are starting to have daughters just young enough for this movie to seem like a solid matinee on a rainy day.

TheFallenEvincar posted:I liked the original film once I realized it was basically just Sci-Fi L.A. Confidential (p.s. hey if someone asks you if you've told anyone else about the dark secret you've just discovered and exclusively divulged to them alone, maybe just vaguely say "Yeah...just a few close friends of mine"). Too bad about the Fox series though. Minority Report is amazing, and even though it has a generally great reputation I still think it's underrated. It stealthily inspired a shitload of modern sci-fi. Also, yeah, Colin Farrell is basically Future Jack Vincennes in that movie.
