I like the Resident Evil movies. Grendels Dad posted:All the X-Men, is my guess. I haven't seen the RE movies but as far as I know there is only the vaguest hint of continuity between movies. It's like, whatever, the USA are a desert now. There's continuity, usually Resident Evil movies end on a cliffhanger that's wrapped up in the first five minutes of the next movie before moving on to something completely different.

The first Resident Evil movie has a goofy commentary track where Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez just gossip and shoot the poo poo about stuff that went on during filming. The director (who is also Jovovich's husband) is also present and keeps trying to explain his shot choices and other technical stuff, and the girls shout him down and tell him to be quiet in order to continue gabbing about their co-workers obsession with Go-gurt. Milla also finds out that Michelle doesn't know how to pronounce her name (despite working with her on the film for 6 months) and has been dancing around being forced to say it. One of the classics.

Milla admits that she doesn't actually know how to stage fight, so when she had to punch people she usually just punched them for real, and thinks the guys who complained about getting punched in the face by her are pussies.

I liked the one where she landed a small airplane on a roof.... but the rest have been pretty bad, especially the last one.

Other bizarrely amazing commentary tracks that are 100x better than the original media: - The first 3-4 seasons of Family Guy are actually amazing. Seth McFarlane and his writers are really funny and talk about classical music inspirations and take a phone call with Seth Green for 15 minutes. - Armageddon. Ben Affleck is loving hilarious and clearly drunk for part of it. He just poo poo talks the concept and tells amazing stories about Michael Bay and Bruce Willis. - Seasons 2-6 of the Simpsons - Fight Club - Ocean's 11 is Matt Damon and George Clooney loving around for 2 hours and talking about how bad scenes are shot and how to start a cult. - This is Spinal Tap does all the commentary in character. - Cornell West and another Philosophy professor have a commentary track for all 3 Matrix movies and it is just as weird as you assume it is. - Tropic Thunder has a lot of interesting commentary from the actors and Robery Downey Jr. does the entire commentary in character as an actor playing his actor character in character.

Oh yeah, the commentary tracks for Family Guy were great as they were cancelled and just shat on Fox. Talked about their testicle chins that were drawn and overall pretty insightful about each episode. Due to the success of that they were brought back - and well, the quality was gone IMO. The Step Brothers commentary track is probably one of the best I have ever heard though. Most of the track is a musical of them singing about what is happening and what they went through. They invite NBA player Baron Davis near the middle to talk and it goes off from there.

The commentary track for Hot Fuzz is Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright talking about literally 190 other films.

Spinal Tap commentary is awesome as a pseudo-sequel, but gotta disagree it's 100x better than the movie.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Other bizarrely amazing commentary tracks that are 100x better than the original media: Conan the Barbarian, despite being amazing, also has a commentary track that is almost 100x better. It's just two hours of Milius with some fun anecdotes and a lot of cool information about the movie's production constantly being interrupted by Arnold ecstatically rating the rear end of every single woman that appears on screen because as he mentions over and over again he slept with them all repeatedly and is aware of this information. Also John Milius basically ejaculates in his pants any time Sandahl Bergman is on screen because "she's a vaaaalkryie...a VAAALKYRIE!!! If any woman on earth could be a valkyrie..oh uuhh it's her!" Also they both simultaneously notice that they may have filmed a guy loving a llama during one of the urban scenes.

Surprised no one has mentioned the cast commentary for The Lord of The Rings trilogy. It's almost better than the movies themselves.

Sir Kodiak posted:Yeah, that transformation has a lot of potential. The visual of Superman pulling his shirt apart to reveal the suit is worth far more than having to ignore the practical realities of, like, how the boots fit inside his shoes. The Raimi Spider-mans have one of those as well, I think. Just finally watched Man of Steel, and I recall the scene were Zod strips off his spacesuit into his black Superman suit being quite powerful. At that moment, the conflict is down to the two of them and he truly completes his descent to Earth as Clark's dark alter-ego.

It's also where he throws his and Kent's upbringings back into Kent's face. "Where did you train, on a farm?" is such a fantastic line.

Still, would like this Superman to get to a good enough place that he can do that reveal of the suit under his shirt thing. He's having such a lousy time of it right now.

Which Judd Apatow movie is it (I want to say Superbad) where the commentary contains a story about Seth Rogen auditioning for Band of Brothers near the beginning of his career, and everyone takes the piss out of him? "Dude, what the gently caress are you doing auditioning for Band of Brothers?!"

The only concession Snyder makes to the classic "Superman pops open his shirt" imagery is Kent tugging his tie as he walks out of the party in Batman v Superman.

The Series of Unfortunate Events movie's commentary has the author of the books complaining loudly about how bad the movie is, and at one point he starts playing the accordion to drown everything else out. It's pretty great to listen to.

I saw the advance screening of Dr Strange last night. The following is my spoiler-free thoughts on it, hidden behind spoilers in case some of you wanna go in blind: Great film, possibly my favourite origin film. Basically a magic-themed remake of Iron Man 1, which was my favourite prior to this. Leans a bit more to the serious side, but still has a lot of "fun" parts. Think of GotG's balance of serious and fun, but with a bit more emphasis on the serious side instead. Effects are AMAZING and plentiful. If you have the chance to watch this in the cinema, 3D, do it. I don't normally like 3D but it was well worth it here. The fights are well choreographed too, and all the fights are spectacles in some way or other. Whichever studio did the SFX for this deserves all the money they get and more. Two end credit scenes, one after the initial fancy credits and a second after everything. I think they were shown to the audience in the wrong order because the first was more interesting than the second to me. Worth it unless you really dislike the Marvel formula. Especially for the visuals, goddamn. EDIT: I just remembered the film has its own thread so I'll be heading there now, sorry! Artelier fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Oct 27, 2016 |

I have come to love Lemony Snicket through his Hat Saga and The Dark so I might have to seek this out. edit: drat the Hat Saga was someone else, but The Dark still owns.

David Leitch, half of John Wick's directing team, is reportedly a strong frontrunner for Deadpool 2. (The other half, Chad Stahleski, is directing John Wick 2). http://mashable.com/2016/10/28/deadpool-2-david-leitch-director-john-wick-frontrunner/#ZYc.MrVCB8qW

That's a pretty good fit. I mean, Reynolds is probably the one driving all the comedic direction anyway. Why not just get a full-tilt action dude?

I feel that Black Hawk Down has a similar thing going on. Every time I've re-watched it there were actors I suddenly recognized from later movies/series (for example Nikolaj Coster-Waldau AKA Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones). You almost feel sorry for the ones that still haven't had a breakthrough role.

And it apparently means that Cable isn't gonna be played by the Early Edition guy. I'm not one usually to criticize casting choices because they don't fit my image of the character or I don't think the actor has the range or whatever. But I'm fine with that dude not being Cable.
