If a remake of Murder on the Orient Express is what's needed to get the Lumet version on blu, then let's do it. Seriously though, why isn't this movie on blu-ray? It's a goddamn classic.

Well, Torque eventually got to bluray so I just have to be patient. On to more recent things: The MSJ fucked around with this message at 16:12 on May 4, 2017 |

I'm looking forward to the new Murder on the Orient Express, honestly. Branagh has proven himself as an actor and director, and opulent murder mysteries are always fun.

Single-star action movie posters must be the easiest posters in the world to make. Have the star aim a gun at something off to the side, put him in front of a blurred city background, and take an early lunch.

A car exploding? A celebratory bonfire? A metaphor for love blooming between two humans?

lelandjs posted:I just don't get why they're remaking MotOE. Half of the appeal of the original is the whodunit, and everyone knows that by now. I'm sure they'll probably change the ending for this one, but the ending in the story is so surprising and perfect that I can't see how a new ending will be anything but underwhelming in comparison. Mr. Squishy posted:I'm not sure everyone does know the ending. Like if you went and asked people on the street, I'd be surprised if 1 in 5 people would admit to having heard of it at all. And it's not like the first film was an original screenplay or the Christie novel was obscure. Anyway, it's good to see Depp revisiting his much loved Mortdecai character. I used to watch Poirot mysteries on A&E as a kid and yet have never gone back to read or watch Orient Express, so even I, a 30 something, have no idea whodunnit.

I guess I'm wrong about how many people knew the ending. A cursory search reveals that the Simpsons never parodied it, so I guess it's not quite on the same "everyone knows the twist" level as Citizen Kane, The Sixth Sense, and Half-Blood Prince. I'll concede that point, then. Still think the mustache looks horrible.

That fact that Harrison Ford is wearing that same gray t-shirt in the poster as the one in the trailer makes me think this is gonna just be an extended cameo. Probably for the best.

The resolution to Murder on the Orient Express is very iconic, it's just that most people don't know it comes from Murder on the Orient Express.

I'm pretty sure the only way Ford agreed to be in this is with a contractual stipulation that he not have to do anything at all past mumbling some lines, including changing clothes from what he wore in.

Pretty sure they're going to reshoot those Old Man Indiana Jones segments from Young Indiana Jones with Harrison Ford when he's actually that age.

I was watching Temple of Doom the other week and I keep forgetting how much of a stone cold fox Kate Capshaw is in that movie. I think she's my favorite of all the female Indy leads. Shout out to Steve for getting to pipe down on that.

Why do movie studios keep giving exclusive reveals to Entertainment Weekly when they always end up looking like poo poo? https://twitter.com/Dammit_Mike/status/860174054191493121 The costumes and actors are what they are, but they're always shot as flat and goofy as possible to do them no favors. I still remember this stuff from Genisys.
