I want to see Sean Bean and Michelle Rodriguez play two immortals. Just scene after scene of death after brutal death, only for them to get up right afterwards. Maybe it'll help get it out of their systems.

The main problem with the Expendables is that none of them really die so you never get the feeling they actually are expendable. Like if every film killed off at least three core team members in the most brutal ways possible than it would work a lot better. I don't think they've actually killed anyone off except for that new guy who was really obviously going to die from the moment he talked about his girlfriend.

Each film they should have killed off all but one of them, then brought everyone back for the sequels as their twin brothers.

The Baby Groot is stupid merchandise marketing bullshit, I would say, though I can't speak for SMG(SuperMechaGodzilla, I can speak for Sarah Michelle Gellar. She only watched GoTG on a plane and doesn't really have a strong opinion)

Sure, but it looks like a very heavy marketing push for the little guy in the second movie. I didn't really think a character who's gimmick was saying one line over and over was all that great in the first place, now we get a precocious baby version.

I think its cool that they took a giant tree guy in the first movie and made him an idiot baby in the sequel, and it works organically in the plot.

Tiriganiaq posted:Yeah but what has it got to do with Life? As the title implies, the monster in the film is a plantlike 'life-spirit'. It has all the exact same traits as Groot, but is obviously not celebrated as this loveable spirit of nature with cycles of rebirth or whatever. LIFE, correctly, focuses on Groot's fundamental obscenity. Like his tendency to extend his roots into people - to eat them? Groot persists in the exact way that we say someone persists in a vegetative state. It's the Werner Herzog take on Groot: "Kinski always says [the jungle is] full of erotic elements. I don't see it so much erotic. I see it more full of obscenity. It's just - Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn't see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and... growing and... just rotting away. Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they - they sing. They just screech in pain. It's an unfinished country. It's still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is - is the dinosaurs here. It's like a curse weighing on an entire landscape. And whoever... goes too deep into this has his share of this curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It's a land that God, if he exists has - has created in anger. It's the only land where - where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at - at what's around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban... novel... a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication... overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment."

Those attitudes are all very unsettlingly German. And this from a people who while the Romans were playing Civ 2.9 they were living in forests and being pretty rude themselves.

teagone posted:The director though I actually just watched Sin City 2 on Netflix the other night and kinda liked it. The CGI looked really bad in parts and the writing suffered from the usual Frank Miller problems, but the short with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the gambler was legitimately great, and while the other two were way more uneven, they at least had the decency to put a lot of Marv in those two.
