This seems like the right moment to mention that Gore Verbinski spent countless hours cutting trailers and TV spots that he wouldn't let marketing professionals cut and Cure for Wellness made 4 million opening weekend behind a movie about dogs that tried to kill dogs and is in the fourth week of its run so anyway that's pretty much over. The thing I was asked most about that movie was "what is that about?" and that's not generally a good sign.

Ammanas posted:Can you imagine thinking an epic scifi-fantasy trilogy about an intergalactic space queen finding her power being anchored by Mila Kunis is a good idea? Wow. Mila Kunis speaks fluent Russian and she says it sounds like Klingon, therefore she is a good choice to play an alien queen. Or maybe just cast her as a Klingon.

Phylodox posted:The most noteworthy thing about Jupiter Ascending to me was how it felt like there was actually a very interesting universe filled with fascinating worlds and characters and all kinds of compelling stories happening everywhere except on-screen. Like, for whatever reason the Wachowskis decided to tell the most boring part of the story. It felt like it should have been a tie-in comic book to fill in someone's backstory or something. And just when the story shows some promise (okay, so how is Intergalactic Space Queen Mila Kunis gonna handle her new genocidal empire?) they cut to her having space rollerblading lessons and end the movie. In terms of the plot and backstory of Jupiter Ascending, it actually reminded me of if The Phantom Menace had been the first Star Wars movie and you went into it not knowing about Jedi, Sith, the Force, lightsabers, the Old Republic, Jabba, etc. Not to mention stuff like great set and costume designs in service of truly clunky dialogue and boring subplots. For the record I liked Jupiter Ascending, even if it is definitely flawed. CelticPredator posted:Why can't people ape Hamil, or Nicholson? Or fuckin Ceaser Romero over Ledger? I don't think Suicide Squad is great (also don't think it's as bad as it's reputation) but I actually really liked Leto's Joker, especially in the extended version. I don't think it's aping Ledger at all. Really, I think he's closest to Hamill (which I guess makes sense given Harley Quinn being the main focus of his development in the movie). Really, I have to give Ayer or whoever wrote it credit that they included one of DC's most popular characters and instead of building him up as this giant legendary figure that dominates everything like he's usually portrayed, he's basically a secondary-tier character at best where, especially in the extended version, he basically is the one who is overwhelmed by Harley Quinn's personality rather than vice versa.

the book became a massive hit despite it being written really closely the the formula that made Gone Girl work (but badly). GG explored how 2-3 terrible people's choices are destroying them and their loved ones. Girl in the Train is practically a single man is responsible for all the women's life/death problems, and emily blunt's character being that somethingawful post of the goon stuck in a well

"The Cure for Wellness" as a title is a clever idea but absolutely terrible in practice. It sounds like a low budget British farce or something.

I thought overall the 80s stuff was the weakest use of a historical setting compared to how First Class and Days of Future Past used their time period. Probably the best thing to come out of it was using Star Wars to make the "the third movie is always the worst" joke about The Last Stand being awful.

The thing for me about Suicide Squad that I never figured out, true to the thread title, is why it got greenlit in the first place. Your main characters consist of Batman-or-Batmanesque bad guys, to the point where only one of them has actual powers that could make them interesting. Their enemy is some ghost witch and her armored brother that are flat as hell. Why should I give a poo poo for either the protagonists or the antagonists?

There are, believe it or not, very good action movies that don't feature people with superhuman powers. Now, Suicide Squad is not a very good action movie. But it is not because it is impossible to care about a character without superpowers.

Suicide Squad is also one of the top DC comics series since the 1980s. It's not difficult to see why it would get adapted into a movie.

I watched Jared Leto in Suicide Squad and just saw Jim Carrey. But most of the film is just distractingly obnoxious. The characters, the music, the jokes.

Honestly the best parts of Gotham are Bruce Wayne and Alfred: Hilights from the first 2 seasons (3 hasn't started airing here yet): 1)Bruce falls into small ravine on the way back from a place that was special to him and his father, breaking his ankle. He spends all night climbing out of it in intense pain, only to see Alfred sitting at a campfire at the top - "How long have you been there?" "About an hour, Master Bruce" "And you did nothing?" "Well I didn't put you in that bloody ravine now did I?" 2) His treatment of Silver StCloud - he finds out that her family knows who murdered the Waynes, then shortly after they both get kidnapped. The goon drags Bruce away and starts beating him, trying to get information, and when he returns to Silver he puts the pressure on to try to get the info out of her. Then, when he does, he turns towards the door, says "Is that all?", then Bruce comes calmly walknig into the room saying "Yes, I think I've heard all I needed to know". The entire thing was orchestrated by Bruce because he knew she was going to betray him, so he figures he'd find out what she knew in THE MOST PSYCHOTIC WAY POSSIBLE. Then later, he professes to her (and he is being honest) that his feelings for her have died long ago and that really shits her up, because her father is how threatening her life if she doesn't manage to win him back over again to prove her usefulness. She confides in Bruce just before he is due to be used in a sacrifice by her crazy father, and at the last minute Bruce manages to make it look like she succeeded, leaving her with a goodbye kiss to fool her father into thinking she seduced him again so that she doesn't die as well. He also isn't scared throughout the situation, he describes himself as more "Excited" now that he's facing his own death. 3) He succeeds in meeting with Joe Chill, armed and willing to kill him for what he did, only to find him a sad, lost man who has nothing to live for and has been waiting for his entire career for someone to finally catch up to him and kill him. They actually have a surprisingly civil discussion, and Bruce realises that he's lost the will to kill him because he isn't to blame for being a criminal, the system has driven him into a corner, and petty revenge would not stop more people like Joe Chill form being created, so he leaves him in peace. Only he also leaves his gun behind. As he is leaving with Gordon, who has just caught up with him, he hears a gunshot from the apartment. Joe Chill has committed suicide. This version of Bruce Wayne is completely insane and amazing and I am pretty much watching this show for him, Cobblepot and Nigma.
