Pierogi posted:Commando is a movie about two estranged lovers, Bennet and Matrix. Matrix left Bennet for a woman and the latter never understood why. Bennet grew angry over the years, sent goons after Matrix to convert him back to the gay life. Matrix entertained the idea, he even penetrated one black rear end in a top hat but these were all short flings. His repressed feelings exploded during the final confrontation. The saxophone solo underlined steam room sex scene is the last time Matrix tangles with Bennet, brings him to explosive orgasm but at the end he finally decides to go back to the hetero lifestyle, with a new ladyfriend. As he says to the uniformed daddy in the last scene when asked if he'll ever go back "No chance". The best is how the first exchange he has with another man in the movie is when he suddenly comes up behind that colonel and sticks his huge knife to his back and the colonel says "Silent and smooth, just like always." Also "Why don't they just call him Girl George." Arnold knows.

Could someone explain the misspelling of "Genesis" for me, as it's stopping me from go watch the movie? I'm sure there's an explanation; it could be an abbrevation or a title for something, but it's bugging me to no end, and it actively prevents me from seeing the film as I'm a pedantic jerk.

It's a blending of Genesis and System. And yeah, it looks super dumb.

Is it too expensive to run movie plots and titles by focus groups or can any half baked idea get a $200M budget with the right stars attached? I am a big Terminator fan and Genisys as a word made no sense. Knowing the intention of it I am nerd raging about it.

They already had a subtitle with "Rise of blah" and the last one was called "Salvation". And since Matrix 2 took "Reloaded", they really didn't have anywhere else to go. Some days I think I might like the title for how try-hard it is, because lol get it the fifth movie of the franchise is the genesis of the franchise because time travel, also systems because machines.

After the ad that ran in front of Jurassic World at my theater, I think I have seen literally every setpiece and plot point this movie has to offer via preview, including the ones not in the longer commercial. I guess the marketing guys have learned nothing from JJ Abrams.

Police Automaton posted:... I don't know if I would call Genisys bad. It has its moments. A situation with my friends caused me to see it twice. I didn't care for it the first time. Having already been disappointed by the movie once, I liked the parts it got right much more on the second viewing. I'm uncomfortable calling it the third best Terminator movie, because it relies heavily on your nostalgia. I find it to be a more enjoyable experience than 3 and 4 though. Take from that what you will. The title is worse once you know how it's used in universe. It isn't just a dumb genesis pun, but it's that too though 'cause there sure is a lot of rebirth happening. Anyway, Genisys is a life improvement app that everyone wants because it's all encompassing and so powerful and helpful that it's pretty much magic and it'll help us do everything ever and nothing could possibly go wrong.

I love that the entire time I've been following this, people have been ragging on Jai Courtney as generic. All this time, I've thought "hey, he wasn't so bad in the most recent Apes movie" - turns out, he's so generic, I've been mistaking him for the OTHER guy in this movie. Carry on.

A Good Day to Die Hard should have been a career-killer for Jai Courtney, I don't understand how he got another job like this in a huge franchise. I guess he's the go-to guy when half the budget is going to Bruce/Arnold and you need a younger leading man to handle some of the action scenes but don't have enough money left to hire someone with an actual screen presence.

Courtney is just another square jawed nobody that Hollywood is trying to push as an action guy. No big deal. There's been a ton of flash in the pan guys in that role that don't get any work anymore. Wait a couple of years and he'll do a drama or something and it'll be good (a little bit despite him, but he'll get praise).

Yeah but it's just a missed opportunity. If we're going to get some mediocre actor I would prefer Scott Adkins. At least he has the action chops for it.

Has Aaron Taylor-Johnson been doing anything since Godzilla? He's almost as bland as Jai Courtney but at least he's got a little bit of something that could be called a personality.

The triumvirate of bland white guys that Hollywood is trying to push as action stars is Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, and Sam Worthington. Of those three, Kinnaman is probably the best and Courtney is the worst. None of them are really any good though.

Of those three, Kinnaman is probably the best and Courtney is the worst. This reaction fascinates me, because it seems to be based entirely on their hairstyles. Since videogame designers give their protagonists buzz-cuts in order to simplify animation, people with that haircut in real life are now 'generic'.
