The last thing we need is Keanu ditching and dissuading Carruth. Dude gave up on A Topiary after years, let's not hope that the boat rocks.

UmOk posted:Was Book of Henry bad? Still haven't seen it It has 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. The general consensus is that the movie was completely insane, has massive tonal shift issues, and probably shouldn't have been greenlit, like, as a concept. I also, however, haven't seen it, so I'm going off of critics and other posters here.

thrawn527 posted:And I don't think they went with the safe choice for 8. Biggest movie he's made is Looper and some of the best (including one of the most controversial) episodes of Breaking Bad. He's a fun choice, and I don't think a safe one. I'm super looking forward to 8, but rather worried about 9. Rian Johnson has always seemed like a weird choice to me. He's an excellent director but honestly, his writing is pretty stiff and he loves high-concept stuff that never really pays off or sticks the landing.

That "gnawing" is what is good about movies. It means they made you think or something.

The Book of Henry had the potential to be a I Know Who Killed Me-caliber must watch but it's JUST competently made enough to be a bad movie instead of a legendarily bad movie.

like the hypothetical man who was so excited to get a job at disney or lucasfilm only to find out that his job is defending the prequels from a cubicle all day in an attempt to repair their shattered brand. that man is sad. but the man who does that for free, because he wants to. that is sad the way a war is sad, sadness mixed with insanity, becoming horror. really if anyone here is the hero it's me for facing it

horror movie pitch guy's car breaks down outside of old house during a snowstorm. Old Man says the guy can stay but not to open a locked door or a monster will come out and kill everyone. the guy decides there's gold in the room and opens the door and a monster comes out and kills everyone. on the commentary track i will constantly affirm that the old man is right and all the actors will agree. this is a trick. the point is the old man was wrong because he should not have let the man come in and what's with his "keep the door locked policy" anyway. you know who else keeps doors locked to keep things in? that's right. Child Abductors. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
