I've only ever seen a trailer for Not Job 2 in front of Despicable 3. Nowhere else. I assume they bombarded children's television but they weren't aiming for a wide audience.Al Borland Corp. posted:Either way there was a loaded gun literally pointed at him, by us law standards it was justifiably self defense. Beyond that, James Bond often shoots first and is also a roguish hero. Hell, the current Bond is introduced killing a man he knows has an empty gun. Star Wars really rejects your new trumps the old thesis. Vader is exactly right when he says the Death Star pales in comparison to the Force. Technology fails to desire to destroy it ("just impacted in the surface") while mysticism succeeds. The Storm troopers are dumbfounded watching knights fight and Obi routinely clowns on them. And the followers of the Old Ways remain the most important pieces in the battlefield in the final space fight. Vader acts with impunity and flair within the rigid military, choking out fools and having a prima Donna spaceship. The Empire straight up are failures despite overwhelming force and organization. They lose dogfights to heaps of junk and lose their ultimate weapon to a farm boy with a single day of magic training. Edit: what I'm getting at is Vader made some valid points. Unrelated, but is anyone finding it hilarious that they're describing the newest Annabelle as being the scariest in the "Conjuring Universe" like that's a whole genre?

It's probably some sort of rights issue where they aren't allow to make it look like a real Raggedy Ann doll without getting sued so they decided to make it look completly different and also silly looking. James Wan seems to have a fear of dolls though, it's like Fulci with eye trauma or Cronenberg with the body/sex.

I saw the original Annabelle in the theater for free and still wanted my money back. God drat that movie was boring and I have hated the design of that loving doll since the promo shots for The Conjuring. I don't understand why no one knows Hollywood seems to understand that dolls are just scary on their own. Dolly Dearest, which is a terrible movie, has a more convincing evil doll than Annabelle. It's why the original Childs Play works. The regular Good Guy dolls look fairly non threating. There is no plausible reason beyond "Because the script said so" for anyone to want to purchase that loving Annabelle doll in those movies. I really hate that doll is what I'm saying.

A movie like Child's Play but the doll's name is Dollby and it graphically melts people's faces off by screaming.

I think it's only Annabelle that made a fundamentally scary doll. The Boy used a standard style doll and used posing and the suggestion of movement for the creepiness. Edit: basically agreeing with you. At least just make it look scary through a half charred face or something. An of the shelf "scary doll" would only work in Creepshow with an evil kid.

If you think people don't buy and collect dolls like movie Annabelle, you haven't read much about doll collectors. Anyway, I think the reviews are better for Annabelle: Creation than the the first movie, probably because the director also made Lights Out. He's also going to direct Shazam next year.

i watched Annabelle: Creation and it was p fun! The people involved seem to have a cavalier attitude towards continuity/canon/character, with "potential device for scary bad things happening" introduced, used and discarded as soon as possible just to maximize the scary minutes ratio in the film. they also seem to understand they can't purely rely on the scariness of the doll itself, every time it appears people in the audience laugh and then A WORSE THING happens also lol at the smartest character throwing the doll into a well, then immediately looking inside and when poo poo happens yells "who cares! just run!"

There's a moment, maybe it's in the original Child's Play, when you can see the transition between the regular prop Good Guy doll and then it becomes animated and scowls and you get to hear Brad Dourif's cool voice... it's pretty spooky. 100% agree that all scary doll movies somehow pick the most evil looking lovely doll unnecessarily. However, Annabelle did have 1 cool part - when you think the doll is finally standing up on it's own, and then you notice that a demon is picking it up. I thought that was a clever thing to do. Also the reveal in The Boy after the doll breaks and the house starts shaking is excellent. I was fully expecting some poo poo straight out of The Haunting (1999).

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Nothing in the film looks like a Bava movie either. Peter Weir is a better (quite generous) comparison. The thing that's most fascinating about how bad the vast majority of film criticism is, is that when a higher-end-of-mediocre movie catches them off guard, it's like it sparks the thankless process of tripping over yourself trying to explain why you liked something that really wasn't very good. You end up like the sad bastard who unwittingly reveals that he just brings up Bava because he's supposed to. Roger Ebert had to be the Grand Poobah of being eloquent while writing positive notices for movies he knew weren't good even though he liked them.
