It'll turn into "how much money do you want to just go away" and tossing out any development they have on follow up movies. It does put their Annabelle sequel into a weird spot, though. That thing's done, the question is does Demonologist dude get a judge to put a freeze on anything Conjuring related before August.

McSpanky posted:I checked up on this a while back, he'd actually float away. Also there'd be a a bunch of brain issues due to expanding his neurons / moving them further apart, not to mention issues with absorbing oxygen through his enlarged lungs, etc etc etc.. None of it makes sense except via ~** movie magic**~ He did mention in the film that he'd only tried the Giant Man trick once before and he'd passed out so there's an excuse there for him to be moving so slow, although I think it would have worked better if he'd been staggering around like a drunk instead of moving in slow motion.

My absolute favorite thing about the WB lawsuit is that a major movie studio literally told its producers to not read the book that they were making a movie based on in order to have plausible deniability.

I don't understand why WB and New Line went through such hoops to evade a 30+ year copyright. Am I dreaming or have there not been tons of movies that were obviously bullshit that had "Based on THE ACTUAL EVENTS" plastered all over them? Were the Warrens really such household names that they couldn't have just made the movie about other people? Also, when googling the Warrens I found a blurb about how they successfully pushed to get their 1991 book about "exorcising a demon that manifested itself as a werewolf" published as non-fiction. lol.

There is an astonishing amount of supernatural horseshit that is foisted on the world as non-fiction. Every single one of Sylvia Brown's hack bullshit books is in non-fiction at your local library, just like The Secret. That they would actually have to expend effort to get their ghosts an other things we made up book categorized as non-fiction is somewhat surprising.

Then why go through all the risk and effort? Seems dumb, when you can slap on "TRUE STORY" to any movie and have no issues. That horrible Discovery Channel "documentary" on Mermaids still has people thinking it was real because it was sold as a true story.

Non-fiction as a category or genre is a marketing ploy and you shouldn't get so caught up on what has that label.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Non-fiction as a category or genre is a marketing ploy and you shouldn't get so caught up on what has that label. Kids in school are taught that fiction means it was made up while non-fiction means it's real, which is why the use of non-fiction as a marketing ploy is troublesome. I mean we could have schools teach more accurate definitions, but being loose with non-fiction is an issue way, way down on the list of things that schools need to do better.

Re: the giant man talk. Going from the dialogue, I felt that he moved so slow because he wasn't used to it. He said he had only done it once before and it didn't go so well. Those slow deliberate movements could be partially fear and a sense of unbalance since he's not used to being so drat tall. I very well could be wrong, so ymmv. E: rewatched the scene and yeah he's definitely lumberino and slow. Far too slow for what I was thinking. If they had added a sense of lost Balance my idea would work.

The Ant-Man stuff in that is very good because it doesn't matter if he means to or not, he almost kills people a few times in it because he's not fully in control or treating it like a play-fight.

Lobok posted:Destroying cars has felt like it's become such a cliche in movies but then I posted that Action Comics cover and realized that it's literally been the most iconic image of a superhero since the very beginning. The context is really different though. The Superman car is occupied, explicitly, and is the first but not last image of his willingness to destroy property, personal or private. The best later analogue is Miracleman and Kid Miracleman beating each other with cars while families are still in them, or Hancock's emphasis on the consequences of automobile antics. The Marvel movie obsession with car violence (and to a lesser extent the Snyder DC movies) is creepy because the cars are stand ins for civilian casualties, not instruments of them.

You can see the way BVS distinguishes itself using a largely undifferentiated plane of debris by emphasizing scale, distance, speed, etc.

The gif was auto-looping so I didn't realize until I loaded it in its own tab that the somewhat further-back reaction shot of Jean, Cyclops, and Beast was at the end of the clip, not the start. I thought we literally had three shots of the three of them facing right and looking concerned in a row - two in a row is still bad, but not as bad

The only thing I can think of is maybe the gifs don't capture some inherit weight that the film has? Because I've only seen Giant Man from these gifs and holy poo poo that looks terrible. He seriously looks like he's just inflated and struggling not to get swept away by the wind. You just You don't tell an actor to act like they're giant. That's stupid and it ends up looking stupid. Now if he WAS acting unbalanced, that'd be a whole other thing, but no. He's just acting like he's filled with helium.

I think he's all CG. Which like, duh, and I'm sure he's mocapped, but I feel like (at least from that gif) they had a mocap actor do normal "back hand throwing" or "slide a box with your foot" motions then slowed it down, rather than saying "pretend you're a giant throwing a little dude and act all slow and stupid".

SleepCousinDeath posted:Raimi Spider-Man is sooooooooo good. U get the classic Raimi pov cam in that with the car but I really dig how it stays on the reaction past the immediate "im gettin hit by a car". It's held just long enough that their confusion plays/rubs off on you, it shows Peter's priority being the people & it also slows down the scene enough that Spiderman swinging by still comes off as fast after the car chase.
