Gonz posted:Wan either produced or directed all of the Saw movies, and Lionsgate has been involved with stuff like the Saw series, Hostel, Cabin Fever etc;etc, and Wan is a fairly big name these days so I say let him go for it. He directed one Saw movie, and is better known for his numerous bloodless family horror flicks and tentpole blockbusters. It's like going, man we need a guy who does body horror, get Spielberg on the line. That's not the movie he's gonna make. Even Saw is not a relentless blast of transgression.

FilthyImp posted:Civil War nailed it when his room was full of repurposed/salvaged stuff. Not much of that is in Homecoming, and he does attend a gifted STEM school (presumably under a scholarship or due to his test scores). Theres a lot of stuff that grounds the character, like using school lab equipment for his superhero supplies, his home-crafted costume, and his earnestness/inexperience. His challenges are more of thr awkward/cringey Hughes film variety than Aaaaaaangst. SPIDER-MAN: CHEMICAL CRIMINAL! well that's the headline I see in my head if they ever introduce Jameson

Tars Tarkas posted:Prepare to bring it on for the 6th time - Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack I think a better route for turning Bring It On into a franchise would have been the Undisputed route, where the main rival school of each movie was the protagonist of the next. But I don't understand dance film series at all and it seems like that's what this has become.

got any sevens posted:Do you think they'll release The Day the Clown Cried now? It's in The Library of Congress and there was already a public release date for it, I think in about ten years. Barring someone leaking it, it's probably still on the same timeline, since i'm pretty sure Jerry Lewis chose the date because he was pretty sure it'd be well after he died.

I'm praying it gets leaked before then. I have a feeling I'm going to regret actually watching it, but the curiosity is just too great.

It sucks that there's no way The Day the Clown Cried can possibly live up to our warped expectations. It probably just sucks, but not in a terribly interesting way past its very existence

I had an idea for a movie but I'm pretty sure it's just Beetlejuice. A family moved into a house and the standard horror movie creepy poo poo starts to happen only they just stiff upper lip through it all with a level of steely resolve on par with Shaun of the Dead. And by the end the ghosts have either given up and now make themselves useful or the family just carried on through their day. "Honey watch out for the blood in the doorway on your way to the bus. You know how much Miss Grumpydriver hates when you track blood inside."

I want something kinda similar, and its also kinda an idea that sorta has been done before, where you see from the ghosts perspective of them trying to scare people. But what I want is like a movie where the ghost like really kinda nerds out about it and really plans and it does research, almost like making an encounter for his tabletop rpg campaign.

Beetlejuice is basically ghosts getting so sick of the living people who moved in their home they summon a professional scary ghost who's better at haunting. The Others had a kinda funny ending implying multiple generations of ghosts in the same haunted manor having to come to terms with their undeath and learn to get along. Edit: A bunch of ghosts call the Ghostbusters to try and bust the other ghosts, they all end up on Venkman's talk show like it's Dr Phil for the undead.

I recall the animated series spinoff being way better than it had any right to be. Also, the movie had Cathy Moriarty, who is also in this summer's delightful underdog film Patti Cake$, now in theaters under limited release!

Inescapable Duck posted:I remember having the Casper movie on VHS. Casper is a lot more emotionally complex than it has any right to be. I'm also blinded by nostalgia and Ricci was a big crush of mine in the 90s, but there is a real sadness to the film, and it has significant emotional merit for children.

Clive Barker’s short story The Yattering and Jack has basically this premise, except it’s an invisible imp instead of a ghost, and there’s a bit of a twist at the end. Barker and his friends also performed the story as a play at some point back in the day. Oh, and looking it up, apparently they adapted the story into an episode of Tales from the Darkside.

In Exit Through the Gift Shop Banksy talks about how he had a scheme to do funny money but realized that they made it look too realistic and so he had to scrap the whole thing after already printing up a bunch.
