If the new King Kong is just a generic action movie about a gorilla running around a city it's gonna be really hard to care about it with Peter Jackson's version so fresh in my mind.

I mean, the last Mechagodzilla was built over the skeleton of the first Godzilla and it regularly went into berserker rages, and the one from 1974 was powered by a woman who was mortally injured by her mad scientist father's experiments, and rebuilt into a cyborg by aliens to give them leverage on her father, so that really doesn't sound that out of the ordinary.

Well you don't see any cities in the trailer. You were a fan of Peter Jackson's? I liked the first half on Skull Island, which was basically a movie in itself, but then the second half I thought was pretty mediocre (and also the length of a movie). But I love the '33 version. I hope the new one stays on Skull Island, personally, wait until he fights Godzilla to get into some city destroying action. Edit: Super Dan posted:Individual movies for Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Little John, and Will Scarlet, followed by a team up of the Merry Men. That sounds super lame. Edit2: vv That's what I was thinking, but that's not nearly enough for a cinematic universe.

So I saw Suicide Squad last night, it felt extremely........disjointed I guess would be the word. It actually had some likeable characters and forced witty banter that would sometimes hit it's mark. So in that regard it's an Oscar contender when compared to BvS. But it really felt like two movies Frankenstein-ed together either because WB finally realized a director like David Ayer doesn't make Shane Black movies that can be funny in the face of a poo poo load of violence, or this is the director's original vision of the movie in which case HOLY poo poo.  Harley felt grating but I guess that's because she's supposed to be, and I'm unsure if her character knew she was trying too hard to be a certain way in front of the rest of the cast and just played along or just bad directing/acting. So many scenes felt out of order and THE loving MUSIC good lord whose idea was it to have that many licensed songs IN A ROW??? Also why was the number of soldiers fluctuating like a Call of Duty game? Sometimes you'd have like two or three soldiers, then all of a sudden more just magically respawn to get mowed down or watch in awe as to how a bladed boomerang or a baseball bat is killing many eyed scrubs from Arkham Horror.The Joker/Harley flashbacks felt really out of place. I mean they worked well on screen together, but the Joker looked like as if Marilyn Manson's video persona and Tony Montana melded together and birthed out from Hot Topic. Red Letter Media made the Enchantress/Gozer comparison and I feel like they were kinda spot on. Overall I can't wait to see The Edge of Seventeen and Dunkirk. That's my two cents.

Saw Suicide Squad last night. I have to echo what most everybody else has been saying about it. Characters are generally alright, Deadshot, Harley, and Diablo are the stand outs. Boomerang, Croc, and Katana were just there, and I could not give any less of a poo poo about Flagg and Enchantress. Waller was an idiot, which I suppose is pretty spot on from the comics. The editing was definitely the biggest problem, and it was ridiculous how so many scenes felt pointless.Toxxupation posted:A Lobo movie, huh? And a Sirens AND a BoP movie in development simultaneously? Really shooting the moon on that one. If I could be allowed to write what I'd like to happen in a Teen Titans movie: If I had any sort of influence at DC and was working on adapting Teen Titans, but couldn't use any sidekick characters, then I would probably do it this way. First, I'd do a Doom Patrol movie that uses their classic Silver Age line up, with the plot being about the introduction of Beast Boy to the team (similar to how Wolverine and Rogue are introduced to the X-Men in that movie). The movie would end like the Silver Age run with most of the Doom Patrol dead, except for Beast Boy. Then comes the Teen Titans movie, bringing back Beast Boy while introducing Raven, Starfire, and either Static or Jaime. While the Doom Patrol movie could be about Beast Boy learning the ropes of being a hero and settling into his new family before having them harshly taken away, Teen Titans could be about him being thrust into a leadership position, while also having to learn to get over fearing another loss and allow himself to become attached to people again. Raven's arc could be about learning to accept herself as a valid human being, Starfire's arc could be about reconciling being a warrior with being a superhero, and Static or Jaime could act as the new comer that's in Beast Boy's position in the Doom Patrol movie. Villain could be the Brotherhood of Evil to further tie it into Doom Patrol. I have to admit that writing comics and/or movies is a bit of a fantasy of mine, so I sometimes let my mind wander thinking up plots for this stuff.

catlord posted:You were a fan of Peter Jackson's? It's not a perfect film but I found it pretty unmatched when it came to mood and spectacle, which I consider the most important things about a Kong adaptation. The entire island felt like a whole character unto itself, a living organism determined to kill whitey. The performances and characters were all really good too, even if some of them didn't really have good arcs. I know a lot of people think the movie's too long or too boring or too cheesy or whatever, but there really isn't anything about it I would change, except maybe the take they used for Jack Black's final line of the film. It's not a movie I feel the need to rewatch often but I think it does everything it tries to perfectly. And the casting is really loving on-point, to boot. Godzilla and Pacific Rim both have awful/inappropriately cast actors in underwritten roles, but Kong's ensemble is loving perfect.

Like I said, I thought the island stuff was great but with the latter half I felt it just dragged too long. Though I did like the dedication to getting a good 1930's New York going, I liked that a lot. It's a shame Fay Wray died before she could give the final line though. Sinners Sandwich posted:The Lobo movie should have a meta plot where he is trying to escape the DC movie universe towards the greener pastures of Guardians of the Galaxy and failing multiple times At least if he makes it he won't have to worry about getting paid to throw a fight. That's another universe over.

Weren't there rumours a while back that Danny Trejo was interested in playing Lobo? All that would be missing would be Robert Rodriguez, an R-rating, and a time machine to take us back to the year 2007.

Does Netflix count as a movie since it's episodic? The Luke Cage thing looks like it's going to be too serious and try-hard with its Inner City Blues horseshit. Framing Hell's Kitchen as some awful shithole is one thing because it's so far removed from reality, but making it seem as though Harlem is the crime-ridden black neighborhood seems behind the times. There is no one black neighborhood in New York, and Harlem certainly isn't the worst of them. It all just seems like very hackneyed "Dangerous Minds" type of drama.

All of the Netflix NYC are sort of a throwback to the late 80s and early 90s of the city, by force of the source material. They've given an in-universe justification for it, but it's better to just accept it as these shows being sort of a weird mix between a period piece and an alternate universe. There's a reason the preview for Defenders features one of the most iconic grunge songs of all time.

Stay out of Harlem is advice my rural parents would give me based off of their knowledge of New York from outdated pop culture. Set it in Bed-Stuy or Brownsville/East New York if you want to deal with urban racial themes. Harlem is increasingly gentrified and not really that dangerous anymore. Yes I know it's a made-up show, but it just seems silly for them to try to make it seem like Harlem is the place where people are living on the mean streets. That one line where the woman goes "YOU MAY BE BULLETPROOF BUT HARLEM AIN'T" is just egregiously hack-y trope poo poo. It makes you half expect someone to demand someone else's badge because they're a loose cannon in the next scene. We'll see I guess. I love blaxploitation, and the character grew out of that genre, but I just don't think they have the finesse to deal with themes like this in the super-serious way they've been trying with other things (and look to be trying with this).
