well why not posted:I just saw The Great Wall, AMA I did too. It reminds me of Kung Fu Cult Master more than anything else. It was really stupid and occasionally fun and the creature designs are very cool. I was not expecting to see Willam Dafoe in it or Andy Lau. It was worth the matinee price for me at least.

I don't get all these people that hate Stallone's Dredd. Sure it's not great but it's silly fun, at least as good as Timecop or something. Not quite as good as Demolition Man though, despite sharing like 5 plot points.

Cliffhanger's all right. Its cinematography and great supporting cast make it stick out. I also think that great behind the scenes Stallone anecdote comes from Cliffhanger, right? Demolition Man is obviously the truth.

Improbable Lobster posted:For one, it's complete garbage Completely wrong. Armond Assante is awesome, the costumes and FX are great, the whole badlands section has great makeup work, the war robot is excellent, the score is good and Diane Lane is gorgeous. It's not a good movie and could have been better but it has its qualities. Someone should edit out Rob Schneider to see if it makes a difference. Stallone is even decent as Dredd but they played it too safe with his characterization. I get why he took off his helmet and don't think that matters but he wasn't quite enough of a fascist rear end in a top hat. It also has Jurgen Prochnow and Max Von Sydow. How dare you call it GARBAGE

StuG Jeebus posted:Alternatively, an American's seemingly innocuous actions having devastating consequences in a foreign country could be a pretty powerful global warming metaphor. I mean, probably not, but maybe. The movie's been described as "very smart" and a lot of other things that might mean that's the case, I'll check it out when it's on Netflix or whatever but the trailers make it look like there's nothing going beyond what's in them.

I believe Pat Mills talks about this when they were trying to develop Marshall Law into a movie, which he would have had more input on if Judge Dredd had been successful.

Skwirl posted:That's damning with faint praise if I've ever seen. As if. Timecop has that cool bit where he kicks a frozen arm and it explodes. It also has one of the most needlessly long and graphic sex scenes with more loving close ups of JCVD's buttocks in a career that is filled with needlessly long and graphic sex scenes full of loving close ups of JCVD's buttocks. I guess it's kind of a mixed bag.

Does he do the split while having sex, because that would certainly warrant an elaborate buttocks shot.

The really annoying thing about Timecop is the past gets changed and JCVD has a hard time convincing the boss and his tech guy that it has happened. Even though their entire job is trying to stop people from changing the past.

It used Godzilla in their pitch to investors at one of the film trade shows, Toho is very protective of their IP and there is probably a post of me being annoyed they did something so dumb two years back. Colossal looks awesome though and I'll be there opening weekend.
