red19fire posted:No mention of Hobo With A Shotgun? For shame. Though I think HWAS is the definitive 80's B-movie homage, TK is pretty decent. Miami Connection is one of my favorite 80's B-Movies, it's just so sincere in it's story. You can always tell when someone is making a bad movie on purpose, it just feels off. I am so happy it was recovered and not forgotten.

And on the inverse this is why Hobo with a Shotgun and Black Dynamite works and Kung Fury doesn't regardless of whether Kung Fury is accurate to 80s movies. It could be its own sophomoric fever dream of vaguely 80s cliches from someone who never understood 80s cliches and still work. Hobo with a Shotgun and Black Dynamite are trying to make the best version of themselves, even if that version is tongue-in-cheek and wants to be an echo of bad movies. That level of sincerity is what endears the audience to what is happening on-screen. A lot of the "bad movie" jokes are deliberate and heavily artificial, but you cannot fake the sincere affection driving them. Kung Fury is too detached and too enamored with its own premise to let the audience give a drat about it, and so it only works as an advertisement or YouTube trailer. There's nothing driving the movie underneath beyond a "look at silly stuff." There is nothing for the audience to hang onto and it becomes a high-budget equivalent to one of those talking fruit flash animations from Newgrounds in the early 00s.

Kung Fury is the YouTube equivalent of the Cafe 80's from Back To The Future 2.

Reboots will never die. A studio will always opt for rebooting IP they already own over new, untested IP given the chance. Give me a Citizen Kane remake that's actually just a fawning and uncritical portrait of Rupert Murdoch. I welcome death

NutritiousSnack posted:Paul Feig is done with reboots, hopefully everyone else in Hollywood will be too. If this is the case, i could see it as an excuse to drop Wiig and McCarthy from a Ghostbuster sequel in a way that everyone looks a bit dignified at the end. Wiig and McCarthy have worked with Feig more that the other two cast members and are legit film headliners and probably demanded higher paychecks than their two costars, but they also had sort of the least popularity of the new cast. I don't think anyone is ready to let GB die and they might be hoping that this could an issue akin to the original Austin Powers: A genre comedy that did well relatively enough in theaters, but once it hit home video it became such a big hit that its sequel was a huge blockbuster on release. If GB2016 ends up developing a following in the next year or two, them greenlighting a new film with the GB2016 setting seems possible. That, and they'd probably have learned from what worked and what didn't and would possibly be able to promote it better leading up to release. How this relates to Wiig and McCarthy: Should Feig not want to come back and direct, and if the studio thinks they're too expensive, a story about about both of them came onto the project only because they wanted to work with Feig and are not sure about continuing on with the vision of a new creative staff could be their good excuse for them to step away from production and Sony possibly has a means of bringing in two cheaper replacements to the cast or just make future GBs with only a team consisting of McKinnon and Jones with Hemsworth as their secretary.

I don't know why they would keep McKinnon and Jones if they also drop Wiig and McCarthy . If Feig is done Sony will probably let this movie quietly be forgotten before rebooting it again with a different crew like with Spiderman.

Because I think those two, specifically, have become sort of iconic of the new film. Love or hate the characters or the film, they're sort of the most popular and memorable aspects of the new film. Ghostcorps probably has a built-in 'reimagining' system in place with the talk of them wanting to do a shared GB universe with different films under the Ghostcorps banner. They could probably skip doing another film with this cast specifically for a while and do a different cast and settings entirely for a film or two before pulling their Ghostbusters-styled Avengers/JLA superteam film. At which point, i could see them just picking and choosing members from each film for such a project.

Feigbusters did not and will not make anywhere near enough money to warrant a sequel for the money it took to make and market. You will see some peripheral GB projects - TV, cartoons, etc. - then they will reboot it again in 3-5 years.

Sony is not a very smart movie company and after this they are going to freak out and make a kneejerk reaction (Probably try to make the next GB movie into a "marvel" movie) and either reboot the whole thing or continue with the Ghostcorps idea. I really doubt this movie/actors will ever be referenced again or brought up until the franchise needs to be rebooted again. We can easily agree to disagree but after watching Sony think that insulting the people most likely to see a movie franchise is the best marketing move I really don' t think they have any idea what they are doing.

Other than that their last 2 years have looked like middling and mediocre box office successes, save maybe Spectre. I have to go all the way back to 22 Jump Street before I find a movie I would say is good without any reservations, and before that Django Unchained. Other than that it's a dire loving list including Pixels, Aloha, Paul Blart 2, the Angry Birds movie, Money Monster, the Brothers Grimsby, Chappie, Sex Tape, Think Like a Man Too, Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Monuments Men, American Hustle, Robocop, the Smurfs 2, Grown-ups 2 and After Earth. I mean yeah there's also This is the End, Fury, Captain Phillips, Evil Dead, White House Down, The Night Before, The Walk, the Equalizer, the Interview, and Concussion, but those are all the definition of "also-ran" save Captain Phillips.

poo poo, Sony is in a pinch, and they need a low budget fix that is going to make million with a modest budget. I got it! Sony should remake Gymkata with one of the girls from the US Olympic Gymnastic team: Its a perfect twofer! Don't have to write a new plot/storyboard AND get to replace the original male lead with a black women!
