The guy also doesn't really know how to movie properly as Robocop. That's an extremely underrated part of Weller's performance, he totally sells the robotic movements and stayed unbelievably consistent with it in every single scene. For some thread content: Horror fans should watch Baskin on Netflix. Just be prepared for some serious poo poo.

Oh man, I've been putting off renting this on Prime. Good to hear it's on Netflix.

The drama of two robots shooting each other in the chest numerous times, nothing happening, and one just It deserves to be on RedLetterMedia's Best of the Worst show. You would think at least one person chasing robocop would bring some sort of anti-cyborg bullets especially when they are contracted from the company that made the cyborg in the first place.

I really like horror movies and the first hour or so was pretty good. Then it just ran out of steam and devolved into a lame gore film. However, for a movie filmed in a month that costs only a few hundred thousand, it was pretty good.

enigmahfc posted:The Robocop suit is way too big for the actor playing him and doesn't fit him well, and they can't even using the music from the movies. And Bone Machine looks like a bad knock-off of a fan-made Mortal Kombat character. And they make one guy look older by giving him a really fake mustache and gray eyebrows.

As a $7 rental it was hard to recommend because some people weren't going to think it was worth it. For free on Netflix though, every horror fan should check it out because there really isn't anything else like it that came out this year.

coyo7e posted:I'm amazed that they're trying to sell the digital version of all 4, for 8 bucks each. They look really bad, and I mean I sat through Robocop 2 and 3 more than once. I can't imagine sitting through the TV movies. I heard they had to saw off parts of the suit legs to fit the shorter actor. Rob Bottin was not amused when he learned about that. I guess it speaks to the quality of the first movie that they managed to build an entire franchise around it despite none of it being worth a drat. david_a fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Aug 10, 2016 |

He worked with a mime for months to figure out movements that turned out to be completely incompatible with the suit as a physical object that he had to wear. The actual style he used was developed with the mime over the course of an hour with Weller actually in the suit.

The actual style he used was developed with the mime over the course of an hour with Weller actually in the suit. The main thing that seems really important is how his head never moves together with the rest of his body. He always moves his head to the side first, then the torso follows as if they're completely separate parts.

Peter Weller is also deep into ancient history. Some nerd interviewed him after a screening of The Dark Knight Returns and asked what his ideal project would be, and he answered with Pergamum. Peter Weller rules.

I was thinking about Sherlock again and how far it has fallen and can't remember if I'm mistaken with this or what. The newest 1800s wacky special thing shows that he uses drugs (cocaine and morphine in ye olde times, unspecified in now times iirc) but I thought the whole point of him using nicotine patches in the way early episodes was their way to modernize/homage to the books where he does use drugs. Did they just toss that out the window or am I missing something.

Fun fact: The Robocop TV movies are what drove Rob Bottin, the original designer of the Robocop suit and sfx guru behind The Thing, out of the business. They needed a suit to get started on production so he very kindly lent them the original on the condition they don't alter it with out him being present or at least consulted, and then without so much as a phone call they took a hacksaw to the legs so it would fit the shorty they got to play Murphy. Bottin was so loving pissed he retired once he finished the projects he was already on.

Another Peter Weller fun fact(s), he's made bank as a working TV director and is super into Italy. He bought a villa in the very tiny town of Positano and has a PhD in Italian art, I believe.

Peter Cushing played Dr. Frankenstein, Van Helsing, AND Sherlock Holmes. Klaus Kinski somehow got to play both Dracula AND Renfield in two different movies made like ten years apart. Harrison Ford is self-explanatory.

Why does Prime have so much " https://www.amazon.com/Party-House-...85%3A2470955011 " 4-5 minute videos clogging up my searches? Where did this poo poo come from? Do they count this crap when they decide to boast about their video numbers? And jesus don't actually watch that, I fear it will give whatever bullshit artist that made it a dime.

Watched Baskin based on this thread. I think the director shows some real promise, but you can sort of tell its a debut effort. It's gritty, reasonably well shot, and ambitious, but just a little inconsistent, and the super tropey ending felt kind of lazy. I hope somebody gives this guy a bigger budget though. Kind of like a mix between [Rec] and Hellraiser except way more Turkish. If they had the budget to deliver on one of the demons they hint at when they first arrive to Inceagac as the finale, I think I'd be more enthusiastic about recommending it. It's still worth a watch since Turkish cinema doesn't usually reach this kind of audience.
