Andro Dunos posted:That's pretty much Steven King's writing habit. He's said before that he doesn't come up with an outline, doesn't keep any notes, doesn't write out character or plot ideas, or even decide how his books are going to end. He has a basic premise and just sits down and starts typing at page 1 and inserts random things whenever they come to him while he's typing and then quits once he's exhausted every scenario he can think of. That's why his stories are often so scatterbrained, meandering, endlessly reuse the same tropes, and are a thousand pages long for no reason. That's kind of inspired me. I have a few book ideas but I hate "organizing" my thoughts or planning for anything. My problem is that I'm really laid back and lazy. Where can I get ahold of some of that coke stuff?

The Wastelands is far and away the best book and I thought this was commonly accepted by everyone who's read the series Although The Gunslinger is my favorite  And then the series just kinda went to poo poo I guess starting at book 5 Shame to hear that the movie is apparently not very good

In Valerian, why didn't they make a trans-mat robot hand so that when he was done pulling a gun on John Goodman he could just peace out instead of going on that chase scene? How did John Goodman know about the super energy pearls? If everyone thought the planet was uninhabited and the gray guys were all but destroyed how did he know about them? Why did no one try to conquer that planet before? How did that chase scene work? What if one of the tourists had to go up a flight of stairs in the Big Market? What if you just kept walking straight into a wall? Would the helmet stop you? Why does no one acknowledge how weird it is Valerian had a psychic dream? Is Valerian or Loreline the superior officer? What government agency do they work for? Is it the same government as the one on the giant space station? If the general was a bad guy and they knew it, why didn't they line up the killbots execution style and shoot them? Or corral them into a storage container? What was with that "a soldier always chooses death over humiliation" line? Why did the jellyfish know where Valerian landed? How did it get video footage of it? Didn't Valerian chasing after everyone in that power armor ruin a bunch of alien environments? How did the noble savage aliens survive in that destroyed space ship if the planet that spaceship was on was also destroyed? Why did Valerian and Loreline think the general was going to confess at the end? How did they tie up the general in the vines in two seconds? What were those vines attached to? Weren't they inside the spaceship? Why did they introduce Rihanna and kill her off in 5 minutes? Why was her ADR so bad? What was with that "I'm just an illegal immigrant" line? Why did she never stop commenting on what was happening? Was it because they never introduced a comic relief? Does Loreli have the same power armor as Valerian? Why didn't she use it to escape the fat aliens? vermin fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Aug 3, 2017 |

A Handed Missus posted:Eli Roth's next masterpeice is a remake of Death Wish or whatever That looks exactly what I would expect an Eli Roth Death Wish to look like. Completely uneven tone, unsure if it's comedy or drama or horror, trailer with an out-of-place song. I imagine that apartment rape scene is going to be incredibly creepy and go on way too long. And I'll probably watch it anyways.

The only way you should remake Death Wish is with a CGI Charles Bronson.  And a bazooka.

Shinjobi posted:I did not mind Dark Tower. It was not great, kinda mediocre, but I liked Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. McC as the Man in Black was quite enjoyably cheesy. Is it relatively self contained, or are they trying to start a franchise? Or is it somewhere in between?

Jose Oquendo posted:Death Wish doesn't really work without the dirty gritty NYC of 70's films. Given the plot of Death Wish, it's kind of dumb to have it star an established action star. It was kind of dumb to have Bronson, but he at least played the sad cuck version of his character pretty well at the beginning. I kind of wish they'd cast someone who'd be genuinely shocking to see murdering street punks, like Michael Stuhlbarg or or William H. Macy.

They're turning Death Wish into a dumb action movie and Eli Roth is directing it lol- why not just... have it be named something else? Does anyone really remember loving Death Wish at this point? Death Wish is the movie where the main character kills someone and throws up afterwards before going down a dark and morally questionable path of like inviting crime upon himself so he can kill more people *AC/DC plays* Eli Roth is a really stupid filmmaker but he just seems so earnest about it He loves making his terrible terrible movies!

It's always been weird to me that Eli Roth is making AAA movies. He's like a really good b-movie guy who somehow tricked everyone into taking him seriously.

Does anyone really remember loving Death Wish at this point? Let's not kid ourselves, the original Death Wish was really dumb. This is a universe where literally any time anyone steps outside they're immediately assailed by murders (yeah I get it, 70's New York, ha ha). That's kind of what I don't like about the original Death Wish- for a vigilante empowerment fantasy, it's cowardly. Bronson always acts in self defense when he kills, but fortunately there's just always somebody there trying to kill him wherever he goes. It always tries to give him some pretense of the moral high ground even though it's not consistent with his characterization. If you want to make a movie about a guy cleaning the streets by hunting down punks, then make it, don't give me this middle ground bullshit.

I mean I always thought it was supposed to be morally questionable and not like 100% some kinda empowerment fantasy. Like he isn't really acting in self-defense- he's inviting it upon himself so he can murder some criminals. Death Wish Man is choosing to continue pursuing it. Even if you say the movie is ultimately glorifying it (easily arguable and probably true) and it's a dumb and bad movie there's a little more nuance and thought there, just a teeny bit more, than BACK IN BLEEACK I HIT THE SACCEK UGH YEHA HE HEA HEA *fart and gun noises ensue*

The entire city wasn't out to kill him, he went to "bad places" like public parks after dark and subway stations looking for trouble. It was kind of assumed that everywhere else in the city, most of the time things were relatively calm. By Death Wish 3 you have an entire neighborhood that looks like a literal war zone with gangs just openly going around in public raping and robbing people practically in broad daylight.

khwarezm posted:Really? everything I've read was very positive. I don't mind the timeline but my biggest problems were the characters felt really sketchily drawn, especially compared to stuff like Flags of our Fathers or Saving Private Ryan while overall it sort of just went through the usual motions of a World War 2 movie, you know the kind of thing, lots of selfless, heroic stuff where one plane comes in and saves tons of people or a 60 year old man and a 16 year old kid pack 20 men on their little hobby boat, a few scenes where the soldiers start to fight and turn on each other when things are extremely tense, a couple of brave and capable commanders to exposite to the audience, a bit of reflection on the tragedy of war, but ending with some inspirational speech about fighting for freedom in the face of overwhelming darkness, that sort of thing. i'm leaving out the review where the person slammed the movie because it had too many men, but these came up for me: http://www.vulture.com/2017/07/dunkirk-movie-review-a-great-war-movie-except.html http://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/dunkirk-a-war-movie-about-patriotic-ciphers https://newrepublic.com/article/144014/dunkirk-manages-make-war-boring https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/07/however-brave-it-is-dunkirk-lacks-an-emotional-core/ http://leonardmaltin.com/dunkirk-misses-the-big-picture/ there are others, of course. i mean, these aren't critical slammings. most reviews still enjoyed the editing and cinematography, the score, or even just the intensity of the air sequence--but still found the film lacking. i quite enjoyed the film and don't really agree with the reviewers who felt that the film needed a traditional emotional core or character arcs.
