He did, she was driving though and they didn't gently caress. And there was a shitton of CGI (mostly removing wires, and giant gently caress off Duststorms. And the Citadel)So now you can enjoy the movie for how it is.

It did need the Interceptor to survive though :(

It didn't survive The Road Warrior either :ssh:

The Thing 2011 might have been cool if they used all the neat effects that got made instead of scrapping them

Didn't the folks behind the practical effects decide to go off and prove those darn execs wrong and make their own horror movie that'll be totally great, only for it to be a... well, the kind of horror movie you'll get when you use effects better suited for Power Rangers?

Yes, because in the end The Thing 2011 still had a good director and was filled with great actors, especially Mary Elizabeth Windstead and the guy playing Lars (one of the Norwegian guys trying to kill the dog in The Thing 1982).

I'm pretty sure the problem with Harbinger Down was that it was special effects people making a whole movie with one actor and just a bunch of random dudes, on a Kickstarter budget

But even still, better RT score than the The Thing remake

Yeah, that's kinda my point. Never trust effects grunts (effects grunts who think Rita Repulsa's newest monster is appropriate for a Thing movie, no less) to make a movie.

Not surprised by the higher RT score, to be honest. As HD teaches us, some people will excuse anything if it's got rubber and KY.

A few pages late but the worst thing about Last Week Tonight was that it killed the classic version of The Bugle podcast, which at its peak was much funnier. I mean, who's going to turn down hosting the Daily Show and then one's own HBO flagship in favor of a podcast, but drat. Andy sounds better now with his retooled version, but for a while without John he sounded so depressed. It's too bad John couldn't bring him along for the fame ride, but let's just say that Andy has a face fit for audio.

That's more or less one of its two big fight scenes, but I'd say you have enough still to discover that it's worth it.

It's of the same ilk as Kung Fury but more settled down and traditionally paced as a movie. I really liked it.

Yeah, it was a fun movie. Apple annoyed the poo poo out of me though, even though you could make an argument for her Manic Pixie Dreamgirl-ness being a result of her being a robit but even so I wasn't sad to see her go.

My Lovely Horse

I agree in that it's a faux-80s retro thing but it's a lot less cynical in its approach than Kung Fury (which I didn't like much), and a lot more focused on one theme. I've heard it compared to Hobo with a Shotgun, but that one's a lot more hardcore and violent.

Last time I watched Hobo with a Shotgun I'd smoked some very dodgy weed and got super anxious around 20 minutes in, had to turn it off and chill out with something more positive. Turbokid I probably could have handled.

Lichtenstein

It'll make sense, eventually.
Yeah, I'd liken it way more to Hobo with a Shotgun than Kung Fury in that it comes from a place of sincere love for the source materials and so generally knows what it's doing when it winks at the audience, rather than just cramming in le memes.

You said it doesn't count because the ghost gets out later. In the original Ghostbusters the only scene where they actually capture a ghost onscreen is Slimer who also escapes later.

There's a montage where they run around town busting lots of ghosts but every single one of them got released when Peck turned off the containment grid.
