It hasn't even been in cinemas for 3 weeks yet, it's got another few months to go before it's done. he just said it looks like a $225m loss, he didn't say it wouldnt earn another dime that said it's clearly spent in north america, and idk too many other regions of the world where people are gonna line up to see 4 catladies fight bad CG edit: ah and its already been released in a lot of catlady-friendly countries http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Ghostbusters-(2016)#tab=box-office skeevy achievements fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Aug 2, 2016 |

I can just legit ask why The Rocketter is getting remade? The first one was just decent and it aged terribly. Why?

Why? do you mean beyond the obvious answer of "they've run out of good movies to remake so are starting in on the mediocre ones?" though personally I got nothing against a rocketteer remake, it works better than something classic that's still watchable now. they can set out to do the same thing but better*, and succeed. the first one may have aged badly but in a lot of ways it used the exact same pattern that current comic book movies do now. it was PG captain america. new one will probably be the same but with black girl lead. *this idea does not work for anything that was "campy good" the first time around, because trying to recapture camp always lands in cringe. for example, a fifth element remake would be awful.

The thing with camp is that it feels like when you remake it, you remake it as a satire, parody or just sort of poking fun at it because everyone remembers it as as a campy show and not how it was originally intended or received and you don't want be be accused of taking it too seriously. Had Star Trek vanished for 40-50 years and we'd had no films, no TNG, no DS9, etc. and the remake was being done today, it likely would be more like Galaxy Quest than anything else.

Here's a pitch for the next Aliens movie. There are jokes here and there in the original films, but they take themselves too seriously. We're going to really connect with our fanbase with Alien5 by showing them how absurd it all is. There will be a scene where they open up a door on a giant cryo-fridge and we have a bunch of alien eggs shoved into the little egg door in a big styrofoam container. Every time a company rep is on screen, they're horribly lying about what they're up to and everyone buys it completely. A scene of them having a conversation about being on their side, needing to get rid of those pesky aliens, while handling a face hugger and putting it on an unconscious crewman's face to 'demonstrate' what they need to avoid having happen to themselves, carrying large eggs beneath their jacket as they're leaving a room, etc. Every time we think someone's about the have a chestburster scene, it's instead just food poisoning and they have to run off to the bathroom with the sounds of farting. The climax of the film will be Ripley getting into a powerloader and ready to fight the Queen, but this time around, the Queen is also in her own powerloader (comically crammed in there). As the pair are about to rush at one another, the power cords going to the powerloaders unplug from the wall and they stop dead in their tracks. The pair awkwardly have to unbuckle out of their respective armors and get into a shouting match before they end up in a WWE styled wrestling battle.

Best thing about remakes is that it causes the rerelease of the films they're based on. Just remake Treasure of the Four Crowns so with interest revived in it I can get a 3D DVD version of the original.

Isn't he proclaimed as some genius writer? How so, when he basically just tells people to improv on camera? Never seen Freaks & Geeks, was that a heavily scripted masterpiece or something?

I saw the movie with friends, and wow, does it show that the movie is very improvised. The problem is, there is no tight direction and editing to polish the improv. The lines therefore just feel flat.

I feel like the more I keep arguining about the ghostbusters reboot, the more I keep forgetting "it's just a movie". Yes, it's a boring cesspool of poo poo that makes the millenials, SJWs, and PC crowd happy, and it appeals to little kids to make their parents buy the plastic not-Barbie toys, slimer plushies, nostalgic artificial-preservative sugary goop, poorly made budget game, and yet another loving LEGO set. ...but it's still just a movie.

as we speak, ghostbusters 2016 is being pushed outside of the memory of most of the american public like every other mediocre forgettable remake of the last few years. so yeah, it's definitely just a movie

NutritiousSnack posted:Most of the airplane knock offs and sequels are utter garbage that are either forgotten or remembered as abominations I mentioned somewhere that I rewatched Airplane 2 for the first time in probably 20 years about a month or so back and I was sort of surprised with how much I liked it considering the horrible reputation I remembered it having over all the years. But I think there's a difference of doing a parody/satire of something and making something INTO a satire/parody. Doing something that satired/parodied the Aliens films could probably be okay. Because it's NOT Aliens. But people would probably go crazy if you decided to make an actual Aliens film into a comedy like that. As things go on, they sort of develop a camp reputation that makes them easy to satire, but do you want to make the satire an official part of the franchise? The talk of the "Jaws 3, Humans 0" comedy, for example. Or what if after years of no Rocky films, Rocky Balboa or Creed were just outright satires of the campiness that the Rocky franchise has sort of been half-remembered for. The first Craig Bond film turned out to be Casino Royale but it was more like the 60s Casino Royale film?

Despite the parody movie having some occasional revivals over the last few years, I think we need to have a good 5 years of nothing so we can get a new trend or pop culture phenomenon to revive it and make it feel fresh again. "Chinese Movie" is my suggestion: A parody of the increased focus in movies to be appealing to the Chinese market with the ironic twist that the film itself will not be shown in China despite technically doing everything such a movie would need to do. ultrabindu posted:Where can I get a copy of this film? I think it's on Amazon Prime right now (I think).
