I was a huge fan of the Saw movies when they were coming out and I saw almost all of them in theaters. I watched like 30 seconds of that Jigsaw trailer and turned it off because I couldn’t possibly be less interested in that movie.

I've only seen the first three Sawz but I dig that trailer.

I was totally uninterested and watched the trailer basically out of morbid curiosity, but that trailer is super dope and the Spierig Bros. directing has my hopes slightly up.

If it were really a Go Nagai mecha series there'd be tit-ballistics.

GrandpaPants posted:Thinking about Pac Rim 2, there's like, no way that the various (remaining) nations of the world didn't use Jaeger technology to dick each other over once the alien threat was eliminated, right? Do we know what the premise of the movie actually is besides "Giant robots fight"? Was kind of a theme with Pacific Rim that the Jaegers are very specifically built to fight Kaiju, and to do so on their own terms with precision, and are too specialised and expensive to be efficient weapons of war between humans. You can kill Kaiju with conventional weapons, or at least nukes, but between the collateral damage and poison body fluids, you end up causing more damage than you can deal with. Nobody builds giant death robots when they have nukes. (Civilization V aside)

Schwarzwald posted:If it were really a Go Nagai mecha series there'd be tit-ballistics. That and gratuitous gore are basically the only Nagai mecha things it's missing. Almost every plot element is taken from either some incarnation of Getter or some incarnation of Mazinger, with a couple bits of Evangelion and Gurren Lagann peppered in here and there to throw off the scent (the latter of which stole from Getter a shitload, itself). e: given DeKnight's involvement, we'll probably get the latter of those, I don't think he's made a single thing that wasn't absurdly violent and he's said that the first season of Daredevil was him actively trying to tone down the gore (which tells me he has a very loving skewed sense of "not gory").

Honestly I've been hype as gently caress for Pacific Rim 2 ever since DeKnight was announced as director, Spartacus is legitimately one of the greatest TV shows I've ever seen and Daredevil S1 was rad too

Valerian looks amazing but it's going to be featured on How Did This Get Made some day. I'd be surprised if anyone could say what they even think it's going on at any point of it. Also harmed by a totally passive score that robs scenes of any energy. Almost feels like one of those Auralnauts "no score" audio edits. Until at one point I think Elfman's MIB score comes in at the finale. Also feels like being a slave to an adaptation robbed Besson of the freedom to put in some cleverness and energy in the editing like he seems to. Bizarre to watch. Great 3d.

Considering how amazing the scores for Leon and The Fifth Element are, this is very disappointing.

It's probably possible but why would you? Guy's made a grand total of two bad movies, both of which are known to have been shat up by the studio, and the stuff he's made without studio fuckery has been fantastic.

I was talking about Sabotage and Suicide Squad, the former of which got cut almost literally in half by the studio (the original cut was nearly 3 hours and the final cut is around 90 minutes), turning it from a cerebral crime drama to a HURR HURR SHOOTMANS movie, and the latter of which is pretty much legend at this point. I actually really liked End of Watch start to finish, personally.

Like, who is this beautiful man? It's like if Troy Duffy could actually write/direct but also didn't blacklist himself somehow.

Interesting, I hadn't heard that. Sabotage is still good, but I'd be fascinated to see a three hour version.

Sabotage ain't bad, it's just easy to be tripped up by the anachronism of what is at heart an 80s action film being made in 2014, with a contemporary style and plot.

Yeah, I still really dug Sabotage - it's easily one of the more interesting action films from that year, the problem is that it's just completely shown up by Fury in the same year. Harsh Times and Street Kings are both good, too, but the former is probably my second favorate Ayers joint after Fury.

I get where they're coming from but I kind've feel that calling a movie Triple Threat is a bit misleading if it's not a musical with dance numbers.

All of his hard-selling does make him seem boorish, after all, he did drop out of Scarface because to hear him tell it he was freaking out the normies. But I find it impossible to get mad at him for being lame and a little retrograde about his passions, an ironist would be much more conspicuous and performative about religion, "representation", working class characters, etc. Ayer just does it but doesn't hype you up about it.
