The only Lars von Trier films I've seen in theaters are Nymphomaniac parts 1 and 2. They were not exactly what I'd call good, but they were pretty entertaining.

kiimo posted:Lars Von Trier makes good movies. Nobody sees them except this forum. That's what I thought you meant, just making sure. I agree with you, and the depression trilogy is easily one of the best theater experiences I've ever had, Melancholia especially. At the same time this forum also seems pretty obsessed with Marvel movies. Perhaps we're just a representative ratio slice of the whole pie, but there's at least some cognitive dissonance going on. People spend quite a bit of time debating about and monetarily supporting safe, by-the-numbers poo poo that is in utter abundance, and often express mockery or disbelief when the worth of that formula is called into question. It takes all kinds, I guess.

More disturbing is people saying The Force Awakens sucks while simultaneously waxing poetic about Transformers and Fast & The Furious.

This movie shadows the plot of a legitimate classic and is therefore bad.

Transformers may be more interesting to discuss than TFA in terms of cultural idiosyncrasy, but they're both D-List. Transformers is just the "A-List of the D-List." edit; a gently caress, stealth edit not quick enough

CineD being the bizarro world of film talk is the best thing about it. No where else could you get in depth analysis of the Star Wars Prequels or Transformers films. Yeah, it makes it hard to have a normal conversation about movies that have a more positive main stream consensus, like TDK, but you can do that anywhere else.

Stine is the main character, and he's played by Jack Black.

I feel like no one really really likes the Force Awakens right? Like who loves that movie? I can easily see people loving F&FVII or whatever (even though the one with the plane is the only really great one. Six I think?)

Awhile back there was a Blade marathon on TV and I got excited since I've never seen them. I knew 1 and 2 were supposed to be good and three terrible. I wasn't prepared. They were all laughably bad. And it wasn't just that they were incredibly dated, I was wondering how anyone except for a twelve year old could think they were good. I did some channel hopping and fortunately Underworld 1 was starting so I still managed to get my vampire fix.

The fact that the real RL Stine shows up for 5 seconds at the end and confirms his status as a droopy harmless granddad is a great punchline on that poo poo

We beat out 9 other trailer houses for it and then suffered about a month of unbelievable Sony nonsense to get what we could into the trailer without them screwing it up. This movie is funny.

Worked twenty years ago, will work twenty years from now. Seeing what movies survive in cultural memory for kids today in what is a constant barrage of "this is the biggest event of your life" movie marketing campaigns is going to be interesting.

kiimo posted:More disturbing is people saying The Force Awakens sucks while simultaneously waxing poetic about Transformers and Fast & The Furious. I don't like Transformers in the slightest, and have only seen two movies from the Fast/Furious universe, but Force Awakens is not a good movie. It is technically competent. Mostly. It has good sound design? It has a few somewhat interesting characters? But overall it's mediocre, and that's worse than the prequels, which are endlessly fascinating in what a fiasco they are. Like, at this point, we still talk about the prequels more than TFA. there just isn't much to say, because TFA has nothing under the hood. The thing is, this forum likes things that lend themselves to discussion. So Avengers sucks because there's not much you can say about it beyond sharing quotes, and doing what SMG did: showing why it's poorly shot.

Based on the amount of merchandise I see at CVS I'd say they loved it more. Lightsabers just activate something primeval. Like dinosaurs I guess.

Little boys love toy cars and it's the ultimate playset. Disney needed a boy franchise and it got one to last forever, jesus. Minions on the other hand really are a mystery. I mean, they make funny sounds and words, and appeal to the fart joke sensibilities I guess. I liked the first DM and yet the Minions have always been the lowest level of kid humor.

I don't care for Cars at all, but it does gangbusters in merchandising and gave us Carsland in DCA, so I will never question Disney on that one. And I can only assume I am just a few short months away from having to take back all the silly things I said about Avatar.

The MSJ posted:Disney really missed an opportunity to make a Turok movie. Maybe they can piggyback the new Tomb Raider for it? The visuals of Force Awakens are great at least, the hitler speech as the superweapon fires is legit great cinema, but it just doesn't have the emotional impact of when I first saw the DEATH STAR blow up Alderaan and realized what that meant.
