Goddamn, go through the list of the top films this year and see how many of them are original ideas and not a sequel/remake/adaptation. Out of the current top 20 films there's only three: Zootopia, Secret Life of Pets and Central Intelligence.

And hell you could argue that Secret Life of Pets is just Toy Story with animals instead of toys.

It doesn't make any sense to get so angry at a movie for failing to do something it wasn't even trying to do in the first place. Except it's not funny and has no jokes in it

My Vag is basically a genderswapped version of My Dick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNgWQfOd-1M (in other words it is a ripoff of a subpar joke rap song) (an inferior ripoff)

Was the Christmas one any good? The first one has a really bad second act where they throw gross poo poo at the wall to see what sticks, but the underlying premise of "These guys who are clearly leading men material will never be considered leading man material by Hollywood, so let's make a movie about what happens when the white protagonists go off to have their movie and prove these guys are leading men" is really solid. It's a pity that joke could only work for one movie. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Aug 11, 2016 |

It still weirds me out that Bob Dylan's son directed How High. Also this was before Lark Voorhees became schizophrenic or whatever

loquacius posted:Including adaptations in this makes it a little unfair IMHO, plenty of movies start off as books and I don't think there's really anything wrong with that Continuing on from this, if we look at the top grossing movies of all time pretty much all of them are remakes/sequels but if you look at the top grossing movies {adjusted for inflation) there's a whole bunch of remakes and sequels as well but a lot of the top films are adaptations such as Gone With The Wind, The Sound Of Music, Titanic, The Ten Commandments, Jaws, etc.. Avatar stands out as an obvious exception in both lists as an original film but even then it was highly derivative. It also turns out the films with the biggest budgets are sequels/remakes/adaptations, with Avatar again being the lone exception.

At 30 mins it was too long and not really worth a rewatch but it's not the horror show some here are saying.

But seriously, it's very forgettable, albeit somewhat admirable on the technical level. The song is the best part, as many have already stated.

Can we please stop talking about Kung Fury ITT, I think there have been more posts about Kung Fury than there were about Ghostbusters by now also the first time I heard someone talk about Kung Fury I thought he said "Kung Furry" and I side-eyed at him for a good ten seconds, ok that's the sum total of my contribution to the Kung Fury derail

The female cast Ocean's Whatever remake had better be dykes all the way down. Not a single man or hint of heterosexuality in the film. I don't live in the Progressive Future Wonderland just to see tepid half-measures.
