Groovelord Neato posted:speaking of specre what was the original third act that the execs were upset about in the email leaks? i'm a huge bond fan and man was that movie just a loving mess. i don't know how the reveal of who blofeld was got past an initial brainstorming sesh. My favorite part of the movie was when Bond walked in on the council of doom or whatever they were called and they're just listing off all these cartoonishly evil acts like it's an ordinary board meeting. It was kind of hard to take things seriously after that.

"Hey, let's get 2 time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz to play an iconic Bond villain in this movie." "Great idea!" "Yeah! And let's have him in the movie for about 13 minutes." "Hell yes!"

Considering Eddie Murphy's Dr Doolittle had sequels and spinoff, maybe RDJ is hoping this could be his new franchise after Iron Man.

He's well past however many movies were in his original contract, so he's been making movie star money again for quite some time, god knows the only reason they wouldn't cast him as Iron Man would be if he said no, and the physical demands of the role aren't exactly the same as any of the Chris's.

Both RDJ and Gaghan are recovering addicts who may have been looking for a project to do together for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised if Mel Gibson somehow gets a small role.

Also, the fight is completely pointless and resolves nothing. It's not even clear what both of them were trying to do. Especially since Neo is on the defensive immediately and could have escaped at any time.

Snowman_McK posted:Also, the fight is completely pointless and resolves nothing. It's not even clear what both of them were trying to do. Especially since Neo is on the defensive immediately and could have escaped at any time. I guess at the onset of the fight Neo's motivation to stay was "I kicked this guy's rear end before and now I'm god, this will be easy!" I actually like how the fight had a sense of escalation with the ever increasing number of Smiths, and I like how they get more and more punches in on Neo. Of course Neo isn't affected by them but that's because he's god, the idea was clearly "constant dripping wears the stone". One of the reasons the fight fails is because Neo has no reason to leave. Yeah he gets dogpiled and realizes that he could spend the rest of the day kicking Smiths around... but why wouldn't he? He's clearly able to, he has this Hulk-out moment and simply flies off because picking off Smiths from the air or hurling cars at them from above is too difficult I guess. He simply stops fighting them and then everybody shrugs and goes back to the main plot. Samovar posted:The thing that gets me is the Foley effects for punches and kicks. They're all so... 'whippy'. There's no weight to them at all. I'm pretty sure they are exactly the same effects as for the Smith/Neo fight at the end of the first movie, making this a problem of finding the right balance. One whoosh sound every two seconds might be OK, but they were just wildly mashing the whoosh sound button during the Burly Brawl.

I haven't heard about Miracleman being recolored and it looked fine to me, although I don't have the originals to compare them to. It's worth noting Miracleman was reprinted by Marvel, who I don't think does the aggressively bad recoloring that DC does.

It was actually overseen/produced by Brian Bolland, the original artist. The Flex Mentallo recolor was also done, according to Doherty, "in close collaboration" with Quitely. Pretty odd. Most of these edits are explicitly/intentionally done to make the comics look more 'modern' which in the 2000s means muted more realistic colors. Not saying that to defend it, but I don't think they set out trying to recreate the colors at all. They probably got directed to get rid of some of the more 'garish' colors of the originals or whatever, for presumably stupid reasons.

Pretty odd. He didn't do the original colors, so that's misleading. He's still replacing another artist''s work. Almost inevitably, if the penciller and/or inked is not a colorist, they just try to make the colors bland to emphasize their linework. Would have sucked less to just release the inked pencils uncolored.

It becomes a different work of art. "Eh, that drummer is a bit too 60s for modern audiences, replace it with a drum machine and slow it down 20%." DeimosRising posted:Edit: just saw your edit.
