JohnnySavs posted:Is season 2 worth watching? The casting and tone changes threw me; I only got as far as high school Hitler (though I actually liked that episode) before I gave up on it. I think season 2 ramps up the insanity and hilarity. But if the second episode didn't work for you, I don't know if this is for you. Personally, it was the funniest thing I watched in a long stretch.

precision posted:I think he could probably even make it good, for that matter. It would be one of the least silly things about the plans Marvel has laid out. The concept of the character is being a grumpy rear end in a top hat in a universe of superheroes that he thinks is stupid as poo poo, and also he happens to be a duck. That kinda sounds like James Gunn came up with it.

Man, I completely forgot about Troma's existence. Do they still even make films? It's one of those relics of stuff I loved in High School that I just totally forgot about over time.

If I recall, they got bought out sometime before Punisher War Zone came out, and the new owner basically hated everything Troma stood for and dismantled them. It's part of the reason that movie blows.

SubG posted:Gunn co-wrote the screenplay. Lloyd Kaufman directed it. Even this is arguable. Gunn wrote the screenplay alone. Kaufman even said "Is this iambic pentameter?" and Gunn lied and said "Absolutely." He was paid something like $500 for the script. It's been hinted at that he got to direct a lot of the film under Kaufman's supervision. Gunn has talked at length that his job was to set up the shots, direct the crew, and everything else while Lloyd ran around talking to the actors and extras about their motivations and other silly "fun" parts. Gunn barely made money off the thing, but got paid with a huge amount of freedom and experience and could say he co-directed one of the studio's most successful films ever . Edit: And Troma is definitely still around. Their website states they are actively looking for new talent and that Lloyd is going to be directing a new film in the near future.

And Lloyd is one of the coolest and most energetic guys in the business. He makes Stan Lee look humble. Watching Lloyd off stage on a press junket is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

What are some good Netflix-available tragedies, in the "protagonist gradually undone by their own flaws" sense? Movies and shows are both fine. Obvious examples: Breaking Bad, the Long Good Friday, various Shakespeare adaptations.

Features depravity, heavy use of symbols and metaphor, and Terry Gilliamesque effects. I loved it. It also features the fantastically named (and figured) Imogen Poots.  Edit I hate the trailers for it and don't recommend watching them. Chichevache fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Dec 3, 2015 |

I think Anchor Bay is partially financing Troma now, or maybe it's just that they have the rights to distribute Troma on home video now, one of the two. As far as I know Kaufman's already shot the second half of the newest Nuke 'Em High film. Is Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead still on Netflix? It's ridiculous and worth watching if it is. Nolanar posted:What are some good Netflix-available tragedies, in the "protagonist gradually undone by their own flaws" sense? The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is a pretty good pick, I'd say. Though it's a Capital-A Art Film, so your mileage may vary.

Is there a decent release of that anywhere? Troma Chat: Troma is definitely somehow still alive & kicking and Lloyd Kaufman being a little poo poo is one of the greatest gifts to the art of film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jazqe5oh9MA

I was watching My Dinner With Andre recently and it was weird being reminded that Troma produced that movie and just left their name off of it. It's also weird to remember that Troma was the first company to bring Miyazaki movie's over to the US.

Speaking of Troma, they have about 150 of their movies up for free on their official YouTube channel as well as a shitton of other stuff.

SubG posted:On the other hand, no, Troma is still around, still doing more or less the same thing, has their own youtube channel on which you can watch much of their catalogue, and had nothing whatsoever to do with Punisher: War Zone (2008). Which actually owned. Eh, I had some bad information.

Oldboy is fantastic (the original Korean one) Lady Vengeance is also fantastic, although the ending is up to interpretation.

Steve Yun posted:Master of None, if you don't mind a comedy. I'm curious, were you not a fan of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance? It was the only one of the trilogy that you left out. But regardless, other films that fit the bill would be The Double (loose adaption of a Dostoevsky book), In Bruges, The Hunt, Infernal Affairs, New World, and On the Road. Obligatory television comedy recommendation: Always Sunny in Philadelphia
