muscles like this! posted:Ugh, that terrible looking schmaltzy movie A Dog's Purpose had some behind the scenes footage leak where it shows that the filmmakers were not a dog's best friend. Basically the dog is forced to perform a stunt that it is clearly not comfortable doing (swimming in simulated rapids) and has to be shoved into the water. according to tmz there was a humane society rep on scene, too

Snow Buddies killed a bunch of dogs, too.quote:We have since learned that almost all the puppies, perhaps as many as 40 or 50, are now sick, many with the deadly parvovirus. At least four have died already, and others likely will die in the next few days.

I watched Sleepless today. Apparently it's a remake of a French movie but comes across as a very blatant ripoff of Taken (down to an ending that is a completely unearned setup for a sequel scenario that is the same as Taken 2) except the majority of the film is set within 5-6 repeated hotel settings. Scoot McNairy is capable of being a good villain but was terribly miscast here. It's just a dull slog, which is a shame because the beginning does show signs of promise. Would have been at least a bit more interesting if Jamie Foxx actually was a corrupt cop and not an IA informant. Given that they give this away in one of his first scenes, but then don't mention it again until what would be an otherwise twist ending, I wonder if they actually decided to do this originally but went back on it after getting nervous about having a corrupt cop be a hero..

A Dog's Purpose looked like a series of dogs dying saving their owners so there was no way I was going to watch that even without animal abuse. but.... WHO WANTS A LISA FRANK MOVIE?!??!?!?!  quote:A hybrid live-action/animated film is in the works based on Lisa Frank, the iconic stylist behind kids’ rainbow stickers, backpacks and those brightly colored Trapper Keepers with unicorns and teddy bears you used in school. Indie producer Jon Shestack (Before I Fall) is attached to develop and produce the film, with UTA Independent Film Group repping rights http://deadline.com/2017/01/lisa-frank-animated-movie-live-action-1201888952/ It's also important you read this huge expose about Lisa Frank that Jezebel did years ago - http://jezebel.com/inside-the-rainbow-gulag-the-technicolor-rise-and-fall-1179495705

END ME SCOOB posted:I cannot recall the specifics, but the original series was put together while the manga was ongoing. Rather than add filler or pad to get more plot from the creator, they just take a clean split about halfway in and suddenly start solving mysteries and reworking characters in their own fashion. This comes to a head in the conclusion film where one of the brothers is literally in Nazi Germany in our world. Oh man, there was one character in 2003 anime, Rose, that I made the manga author basically went "gently caress that" when the showrunners had her gang-raped by occupying soldiers and turned into some sort of mute holy figure akin to Mary. Since she was still writing the manga as the first series was airing, Hiromu Arakawa apparently wrote Rose's return in the manga as been an independent woman who was rebuilding her town, raising adopted children, and definitely had not been raped.

Hat Thoughts posted:wtf is ur problem Read that Jezebel article. Pretty much everything recounted in it is my problem. That company needs to loving die yesterday. e: also, yeah, the Rose thing was one of the things specifically coming to mind when I said the FMA manga/Brotherhood and the 2003 show have absolutely diametrically opposed themes. Brotherhood is all about how humanity can rise above the lovely things in its past and make something better. 2003 is all about how we'll never ever put those atrocities behind us, how every step forward for human progress is two steps back for world peace, and how the world is utterly hosed.

The first third is about how lisa frank is wealthy & interested in her self-image, the second third is about how theyre a bad company to work for because of franks' abusive husband and the third part is about how she divorced him and he isnt in charge of the company any more. mainly i found myself endeared to lisa frank with parts like quote:"They seemed like very opulent people for Tucson," Marcia said of Frank and Green, who drove "flashy cars," had their own 12-seat, twin-engine airplane, and a mansion characterized by one Tucson resident who spoke to Jezebel as a "nouveau riche monstrosity of a house." (Frank has described her house as "purple and yellow and hot pink and light green and orange.") quote:

Lisa Frank herself seems fine. The company sounds absolutely horrific, like an actual no-poo poo sweatshop for making cutesy stationery. It says he's not in charge anymore, but it also doesn't say that any of their policies have changed, whatsoever.

I worked for you.' And she said, 'Oh, did we fire you?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' And she was like, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't really a great employer.'" etc.

Green sounds a lot worse, but there's still poo poo like quote:I personally heard [Lisa Frank] scream at sales managers and threaten their lives if they hosed up a presentation. quote:Every day was so stress full [sic] and hearing Lisa's voice downstairs on a speaker phone made my blood run cold. I had many instances where she abused me verbally. though it's possible those people were a bit confused and thinking of the VP Green was having an affair with. Edit: Oh god, read the sidebar on that "Frankly Speaking" newsletter that's titled "The 110%" solution. It's from 2 years after Green became President and CEO. Green definitely comes off worse, but Lisa Frank did let him run her company for more than a decade before first trying to oust him, so she's definitely not blameless.

The ending is also kind of a wet fart that comes completely out of left field and doesn't really make a ton of sense.

That said, however, Genocyber, Angel Cop, and Violence Jack all have a pretty similar worldview to FMA 2003, and all three are a loving hoot (though be warned that Genocyber and Violence Jack have some seriously  gore in them- they're basically anime Fulci, whereas FMA 2003 is kinda like anime Von Trier).Wandle Cax posted:Just saw the new XXX, it's one of the most embarrassingly terrible things i've ever seen and I actually like stupid action movies.

So I take it xXx 3 doesn't have anything quite as funny as two dudes unloading an entire clip into each other and then yelling so hard the bullets proceed to fly out of their bodies. Shame.

Underworld is hilarious at times because it plays it straight. The new xXx is a dumb action movie that knows it is a dumb action movie, but it while it is somewhat fun at times it is never funny. Xander Cage is still written like an x-treme version of James Bond: he makes cheesy comments, has sex with all the ladies, pretends to be a cool cat while behaving like a rebel without a cause. It was a terrible character back then, it is a terrible character now. They try to give this movie the Fast & Furious approach when it comes to the cast, by having a wide range of cool dudes and ladies. What Xander Cage really needs however is a sidekick, a straight man, that constantly calls him out on his stupid poo poo. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jan 19, 2017 |
