kiimo posted: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. When your best movies are The Ring and Pirates of the loving Caribbean (I mean, they're okay at best) I still don't understand why he got so much lee-way....like I'm all for artistic direction but I would hope that would happen to a better artist. And boo on Simon getting the chair on the new X-Men movie, and it being another disaster-athon. loving yawn. I guess the draw will be multiple cities being blown up instead of multiple cities. The last people cared about how destructive things could get on the movie screen was ID4, and mostly people remember that for the inspirational speech.

The trailers for Cure for Wellness are great but I don't like watching horror films much. Sorry kiimo

According to what I found in interviews, they were actually in discussion with Netflix to do a second season of Terriers, but Donal had to bow out because he got the Gotham position.

The Ring is a modern horror classic and Pirates is a huge blockbuster franchise that has made over a billion dollars.

The last few months I've been thinking of that 90s Lost in Space remake film. Imagine my surprise when it popped up on Hulu or Netflix or something. How the gently caress did that get released? Literally nothing for Lacey Chabert to do. Hardly anything for Heather Graham either. And they wasted Gary Oldman's Dr. Smith evil guy climax by making him an unrecognizable CGI mishmash. His 'I am. A. GOD" speech is laughable.

Matt LeBlanc was trying really hard to become an A-list star and not just the 5th most liked character on Friends. Reboots of old TV series were just as popular in the late 90s as they are right now. There was a pretty big Sci-Fi revival going on at the time as well with the Star Wars Special Editions, the TNG Era Star Trek movies, stuff like the 5th Element and Starship Troopers. The movie is pretty bad, and I have no idea what they blew their production budget on given that other major SFX movies like Independence Day were cheaper to make, but why it got made and released is pretty easy to figure out.

It's a bunch of really cool designs wasted on a really bad movie. The opening space battle is dope, there's some really nice creature design, LeBlanc's helmet, as mentioned, owns, but the movie is just like someone going 'have you seen any other sci fi adventure movies? It's like that. But not the scary ones.'

I remember seeing it in the theater when I was fifteen and even then I was questioning why they were doing some time travel plot that seemed ridiculously familiar. Was time travel ever a thing on the original TV show?

When Lost in Space was on Pay-Per-View, my mum had one of those bootleg boxes that let you watch as much as you wanted for free. Over the course of a weekend, for reasons I no longer recall, 20-year-old me decided to experiment with sleep deprivation. I stayed awake for almost 36 hours straight, watching Lost in Space non-stop. By the end I was weeping copiously. I finally understood it, and it was beautiful.

I have a lot of faith in Viggo Mortenson's discretion in accepting roles so I'm going to remain optimistic on this one. Probably has a good screenplay at the very least
