Glad to hear that what sounds like a genuinely entertaining moment in a mediocre fail pile was relegated to credit duty.

that last sentence is dead-on. during the bush years, most people sneered at right-wing people who watched and liked entertainment because it jived with their politics. now the left and people who style themselves as left are doing the exact same thing, and also writing essays about it. and now every website is cranking out these essays because it's profitable i don't give a poo poo if websites that aren't outrage bait aren't profitable, we need more of them

Pvt.Scott posted:Reboot Willow. Have generic techno-metal blasting and those speed-up-slow-down bits during the entirety of every fight. Throw in as much swearing as PG-13 will let you get away with. (I think that's one gently caress, a couple shits, a few damns and probably handful of dicks.) Make all of the supernatural elements clearly the result of sleight-of-hand and stage magic and doggedly point out that the queen is an illegitimate ruler so we can hopefully squeeze this one into China with minimal effort. Oh yeah, instead of played out hobbits or whatever, the heroes are just a couple bland white actors with fake accents. Sorcia needs gigantic tits and no speaking parts. Tell the studio you want Peter Dinklage for the lead then just sit back and count the wheelbarrows of money they send your way.

Y-Hat posted:the problem is that there's more pop culture criticism that isn't just saying "i liked it because it was fun to watch and the characters were good." if you perceive a movie, music, or whatever else as compatible with your worldview, then that is the height of "good art" I mean its fine to analyze a film, but don't over analyze it. I mean does anyone want to be like those humorless fucks at Salon?

Analyze a movie as much you want, just don't expect anyone else to decide that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's buddy cop antics are no longer enjoyable when you tell them Bad Boy's II is really about how the drug war is a method for the US to subjugate the third world.

Glad to hear that what sounds like a genuinely entertaining moment in a mediocre fail pile was relegated to credit duty. I think in the DVD release of the original film there was one of the commentary tracks or the commentary captions that said something like, "Filmmakers wanted to wrap the film up quickly after the climax. When they beat Gozer, the film is over, the audience is ready to move on, we don't want to drag this out too long." So that made me a bit more aware, perhaps, of how GB 2016 felt like it had a several 'endings'. It feels like you've got an ending, an ending, an ending, a credits scene, a post-credits scene. Just get it done with, I'm ready to move on!

Ork of Fiction posted:They showed the dance number during the credits. That's even more bizarre then because they definitely cut it due to the backlash. They might SAY they did it for editing or time, but it was even cut from the trailers after people started making fun of it online. So to cut it and stick it in the credits? Just seems real odd. Anyway, wanna see the Blair Warlock Project.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Citizen Kane bombed on its first release. Orson Welles actually wanted to use Hearst's despotism against him - he asked the studio to rent circus tents and take the movie on a travelling tour of America, marketing the screenings with slogans like "showing the film they don't want you to see". He argued that people would love the air of exclusivity and scandal surrounding the movie, and would flock to see it everywhere it would turn up - thus Hearst would have provided the best possible advertising campaign imaginable. But the studio chickened out. Unrelated to anything, but it's an interesting bit of movie history.
