I really liked it but I felt it was a bit more generic than Guy usually has his influence in. More conventional than his early stuff which is always awesome. Snatch, RocknRolla, etc.

Granted I'm not an anime nerd, i saw about half the 95 original when I was a kid, and the only real draw for me was ScarJo but doesn't change how loving god awful that film was. Really? drat, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

There will be people who enjoyed it, sure, but if you really pushed them to explain what they enjoyed about they would crumble. I maybe enjoyed it in the way my dumb brain would sit and "enjoy" Will and Grace or the Big Bang Theory or The Fast Show but under any critical analysis or serious analytical discussion you would be left speechless. Its a loving shitebag of a film that makes me genuinely angry that I spent 90 minutes of my life on it in a way that no other movie has for me apart from maybe North? Pixels was loving awful but at least it had a personality albeit a hated one. Ghost in the Shell, fittingly didn't even have that.

Macarius Wrench posted:Just thinking back to my time in the cinema I am reminded of the uncomfortable, restrictive, choking feeling I had when I looked at my watch and realised only 25 minutes had passed since the trailers ended. Surprise, this was my reaction to the anime. Certainly not gonna check out the live action movie at this rate.

I know, the Internet is all about stupid exaggeration, but holy poo poo, did the director sleep with your mom or something?

It was nowhere near as good as the Anime, and it was unexciting outside of the design, but "worst movie"? Worse than Pixels? It wasn't even the worst big budget movie this year. Or of the weekend it started on. Not having the classic opening song was the biggest mistake of the movie (since the whole whitewashing thing was at least justified in-story I don't dock it on it too much).

Gatts posted:I like Hunnam, better than Worthington, Alexander Skarsgard and Jai Courtney but they're all sorta bland except Charlie's getting there and some traction going. Don't forget our other extremely bland Swede Joel Kinnaman, who people for some reason also think should be a action star. I have seen both Alexander Skarsgård and Joel Kinnaman in a lot of Swedish movies and never understood how they got to Hollywood. At least Alicia Vikander is good though.

I kinda like Skarsgard. I thought he was pretty good in Generation Kill as a total weirdo, anyway. Guy Ritchie's next movie is the live action Aladdin. Hopefully with an all Arabic or Chinese cast.

It's me, I'm the guy who likes Joel Kinnaman and would love to see him in more stuff. I felt really sorry for him in RoboCop, he sold the existential dread of being reduced to a brain and half a lung in a jar extremely well.

Does the GitS live action film really reuse establishing shots? That's surprisingly stingy.

In a spot of irony, the new Pirates movie is being held hostage by internet hackers: http://gizmodo.com/report-new-pirates-of-the-caribbean-being-held-for-ran-1795240158 Maybe this is a good time to get the McAfee people to help since Depp is going to star in a movie about their founder.

I think it's extremely likely that the movie will, in fact, be leaked. If the hackers have any brains at all, they'll have it hooked up to some kind of dead man's switch to remove the option of "prevent it from getting leaked by throwing law enforcement at the problem". Can you imagine the shitstorm if it was The Last Jedi instead? That'd be historic.

You saw Trevor Noah make a tongue in cheek joke about how bad people shouldn't be on twitter (I can't think of any who are) and rushed to pirate it because that was a cliffhanger and it's the mark of a good show that you want to know how that resolves so you did it. You broke internet law and you watched the whole mess in two days. https://www.wired.com/2017/05/orange-is-the-new-black-leak/

They were very high shots of the city's tops and its advertising, like Bladerunner. So more like transitions. But they weren't literally reused. But after seeing one, you've seen them all.

I doubt the leak will affect the box office much, I also doubt the movie will do that well.
