Can I just say how much I disliked the line in the trailer for USGitS where someone says that Kusanagi is the first of her kind? Maybe I caught it wrong and they're directing that to the Puppet master, but if they make her some kind of super unique trailblazing cyberwoman it just loses so much of what made the world cool.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Er... really? The bad guys weren't that batshit in The Raid, they were kinda on the same level as standard movie criminals. The most batshit thing is the main villain owning the apartment building, in my view. Thats what I meant. Also a building just wall to wall criminals.

What about a movie that's basically the opposite, about a bunch of criminals trying to exfiltrate a compound of wall to wall cops? Maybe the cops are corrupt and the crims are sympathetic and pressured into what they're doing because of extraordinary circumstances, if you need that sort of thing.

I never took the apartment in The Raid to be wall-to-wall criminals. There's the gang that runs the place, sub and splinter gangs within it,and that's it for outright violent criminals. The rest are junkies or extremely poor people, some of who become mooks despite not being gangsters because there's a bounty placed on the cops' heads. Most of the people the cops kill in that movie aren't actually career criminals.

I want Bill and Ted 3 to come out in 2019 and be about Bill an Ted working in dead end 9-5s. Then a time traveler shows up to get them back on the path and they run for President and Vice President of the United States, and then and the premier Keanu and Alex announce they're going to run for office irl.

Bill and Ted 3 should be the two guys wondering what the hell happened, since their music was supposed to create utopia, but hasn't.

I could get behind a Bill & Ted franchise where they are tasked to save something and apparently succeed at it, only for it to be revealed in the sequel that they totally blew it by slacking so this time they have to save an even bigger something.

Most of the people the cops kill in that movie aren't actually career criminals. Yeah, plus there's a good proportion of people who react to everything going on by just holing up in their apartments and who absolutely poo poo themselves when the cops get in. It's basically just a ghetto apartment block that the crime lord owns and also keeps his people in because why wouldn't you.

CelticPredator posted:The script of Dredd got leaked in 2010 I honestly don't think The Raid crew had any clue about the most recent Dredd movie when they were making it, we just frequently get similar movies in the same year. Edit: Dred is basically an inside out version of Assault on District 13 and The Raid is basically someone watching Ong Bak and asking what if we did this for 2 hours. Both concepts are similar in retrospect but operate on different levels. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Feb 18, 2017 |
