Lobok posted:Might as well just jump on that Netflix money train and do a Cobra series. Now we're talking! Start out slow, make it possible to do more seasons, à la House of Cards. Framework is always the same: Marion "Cobra" Cobretti (holy poo poo I remembered his name without checking) is unemployed, eating pizzas with scissors on his weird beachfront property. Angry black police chief needs the case solved stat & they gotta bring him back in. Sunglasses, toothing a matchstick/toothpick, that big old Harley. Cobra fixes it up, with the help of this season's guest starring actor (thinking someone like Gregory Elliniovitch for the first season), then retires. For good. Until the next season. Also all the criminals use Tek-9s, no exceptions.

LesterGroans posted:I'd say they got slightly better, in that the first one is totally awful, JCVD is fine in the second one, and Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas and Mel Gibson are good in the third one. It's the little things in the Expendables series. A fight scene in a movie set town, Jet Li literally shooting out the bottom of an airplane and out of the movie at the same time, that sort of thing. It needs like 900 times more of that and 1/10th of the really lazy action.

It should've also lived up to its name and been a blood bath of a movie. Stallone should've been the only one left alive at the end of the first one. And maybe Statham. Then surround them with a whole new team of action movie guys in the sequels. Don the Dragon Wilson ain't doing poo poo man! Call his rear end up!

It needs like 900 times more of that and 1/10th of the really lazy action. The first Expendables is a weird movie. For the most part, it's completely anemic with no reason to care about anything that's happening or the people it's happening to. It feels like the first issue of a comic book series, being very safe and by the numbers, rather than taking any chances or reflecting on, for instance, Stallone's old films. The dialogue feels like it was rewritten for a tv broadcast to have less swearing. Every line feels like it was rewritten hastily to match the lip motions of the actor. But, then, Mickey Rourke shows up, delivers a growling, partially comprehensible monologue, and it holds the movie together. It gives all the standard action movie nonsense an emotional core that it hasn't really earned, and it makes the last act work, even though it shouldn't.

Then in the third movie it's heavily implied that he and Schwarzenegger have become lovers.

How do they do more expendables without Sly? I thought it was his baby.

My favorite story about that is that Rourke showed up and demanded something like 5 hours to rehearse that scene and Stallone was like "you got 20 minutes."

If Stallone really didn't want to be in The Expendables anymore, they could have killed him off at the start of the next one. And have his head crushed like a grape or something to hammer home he's not coming back.

I liked the story about his 'process' for Iron Man 2, where he thought the character was underwritten, so he brainstormed ways to make the character more interesting, deciding this character was always drunk and owned a bird. The Mickey Rourke school of acting: "Get me a bunch of vodka and a parrot, I'll fix this fuckin' character for ya." ruddiger posted:He's the best parts of Animal Factory and that movie is good as gently caress.

I completely forgot Sam Rockwell was in that movie. Sam Rockwell is on my personal top 10 & I forgot he was in it. That's how forgettable it is I remember Rourke being all over the place, but it fits with his drunk bird-owning character so I don't mind

Just for anyone who hasn't read the books, this is literally how they are described. Down to one of the bombs having the writing on them describing them as those items from that book series, and one of the characters saying they look like X holding Y.

WETA put some of the concept art for GITS on their ArtStation account and the prop design looks like the most phoned-in poo poo when you compare it to Elysium, Fury Road, and Edge Of Tomorrow. For god sake, this...  ...was done by the same person who basically built the War Rig in Fury Road.

Does he just not have interest in any projects? He's obviously got an insane amount of talent. Sucks that he hasn't been putting it to use in a while. Though I can understand having writer's (director's?) block.
