I want Ozy as a DJ and the music builds up as he's spinning in front of Nite Owl and Ror and then you hear a dubstep "Drop the squid" and we cut to New York in chaos. We switch back and suddenly his lair is hype with glow sticks, streamers, lights and a shifting chandelier as his cats start to roar and glow.

Have the squid ending, but a real invasion of squids. They then morph into kids. Watchmen was a prequel to Splatoon.

The idea of another Watchmen adaptation is so boring. The movie is too good to bother redoing this soon.

Re: Blade

I looked up the director and his first directing gig four years before Blade was something called Death Machine which looks goddamned insane.

Good luck finding an uncut version in English though. :(

Death Machine is great. Brad Dourif is as entertaining as always and they work around the limitations in the titular death machine really well. I won't claim, in this thread, that it's as good as Blade, but if you liked Stephen Norrington's style in Blade then Death Machine is definitely worth tracking down.

I assume it's followed up with an energetic defiant duet of Nite Owl and Rorschach.

Death Machine's great because it's filled to the brim with Aliens references. I think the main characters are named Weyland and Yutani.

Clint Howard should be Rorschach. And Carla's the perfect age to play Silk Spectre. Don't know why she was cast as the mom in the movie.

When the Joss Whedon nerd realizes that he is the actual bad guy - that, from the perspective of the women, the drones represent his sexism and they might be achieving a quantum of actual empowerment - he becomes enraged that his videogames are being taken away, and murders one of them.

You have lost the outer layer: (leave it to Snyder to make a masterwork of self flagellation) it is that this criticism serves as not only a fig leaf for enjoyment of the gratuitous layer, but as a scourge to be held in the mind to whip yourself with while protestantly recognizing your base enjoyment and, with the recognition and shame, enjoying it all the more.

all desire - the thirst for oil, war, religious salvation - needs to be understood according to what he calls 'the demonogrammatical decoding of the Earth's body'
Try a From Hell adaptation but playing up the metaphysical, gnostic poo poo heavy. Go for the True Detective audience with the ending being Gull's transcendence into the 1980's highrise (specifically make it the WTC).

The trailer is fine, but that is a bad thumbnail for it. It makes Frank Castle look like a dumpy middle-aged man cosplaying as Frank Castle, which may be true of the character's fans but is a bad look for a show about him.

Ok so, in place of straightforward anticapitalism, you are anti-masturbation.

Sucker Punch plainly expresses that, even though films like The Avengers are enjoyable and it's great see women punching Nazis and so-on, we must remain critical of these films - their formal qualities, the conditions under which they are produced, etc. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

To this, you reply that it doesn't matter because hundreds of men on the internet are (probably?) jacking off and having orgasms while watching Sucker Punch. They are doing this right now. And, worst of all, there's nothing we can do to stop them except to prevent these immoral films from being made in the first place (by complaining to the studios that make the films for us).

It is easier to imagine the end of film, end of cinema, than to imagine a much more modest radical change in capitalism.

Kingman 2 goes a lot of places and is heavy on the Bond imagery, particularly when James Bond would always kill people with tainted heroin at the climax of his films

Some DC movie news from around the internet:

-Shazam is confirmed to start filming in Ontario early next year.

-The Scorsese-produced Joker movie will have a script ready really soon, and will likely start filming next year as well.

- Early screenings of Justice League reveal that Lex Luthor is not in it, if anyone is wondering.
