this will only work if they don't attempt to humanize her at all, and instead just make her a stone-cold bitch (pun maybe kinda intended).

I just wanna see Emma Stone chew through scenery like I know she can. She's been in too many serious movies recently.

Yeah uh "Actually, murdering one hundred and one adorable dogs to make a fur coat is good and I'm a good person because..."

It'd be awesome if they told it all from her perspective with her as the main character but still had her be cartoonishly bad like DC Murderverse says instead of a misunderstood good person. Disney's American Psycho.

Did not make it to the cinema in time for mother! so I watched The Foreigner instead. It was pretty good. The movie started quietly and then the story begins with extreme sudden-ness. No warning at all. Jackie Chan being a secret badass was not really hinted at either but the reveal happens almost as fast. He even does his trademark 'use object lying around as weapon' thing. I like that did they not shy away from showing Jackie Chan's age; his character gets hurt and beaten up a lot even when winning a fight, and he often wins by catching his foes off guard.

i'm going to watch mother! completely blind (other than the first teaser and a bunch of clickbait article titles about how divisive it is) with an unsuspecting friend today. whatever the quality of the movie i expect some good entertainment

Exploration is ill-advised.
Thing is they already made a live action 101 Dalmatians, and a sequel. So I suppose Cruella origin story is the only way to go.

I recall that Twisted musical about how most Disney villains could be played as misunderstood or unfairly villainised, but Cruella is just flat out hilariously, pettily evil.

Disney already made a live action Jungle Book in 1994 and another one in 1998 (although the second one was direct-to-video) but that didn't stop them making the 2016 movie.

The Glenn Close live action 101 Dalmation films were released back in 1996 and 2000 so they're pretty much ancient history at this point, they could totally have another pass at remaking the original from Cruella's point of view if they wanted.

No, but he dies by getting punted into an exploding starship while cursing the main character for ruining his life and killing at least two of his consecutive girlfriends

Really, Jerid Messa is a hilariously pathetic character, his whole arc is basically that he was on track to be a mildly talented mid level space Nazi of zero note, until he made a light joke at the expense of the main character and caused the narrative to refocus into making GBS threads on his life specifically

TBF, Jerid put this all on himself. He could have just let it go, but he kept trying to avenge himself for Kamile punching him out and it led to this escalating vendetta that he couldn't keep up with. I mean, Jerid kills Kamile's mom and one of his girlfriends, so it's not like that poo poo is going to easily forgotten.

ok we just watched this and lol, it's an entertaining movie at the very least

i thought it was gonna be a very expensive and mind-warping remake of Rosemary's Baby, and he assumed it will be a metaphoric movie about the pains of childbirth and a relationship falling apart. so we were incredibly surprised and ended with mixed feelings. the horror of people forcefully entering your house, breaking all your poo poo and stealing your things while you scream impotently is super relatable though! i physically flinched when they broke the sink and flooded her house

Months after the LUCY INCIDENT, Dr. MORGAN FREEMAN is a member of SECTOR 7, a clandestine governmilitary operation that investigates illegal transhuman activity. While investigating a sudden mass naked Russian mail-order-brides disappearance, he and his partner get SPIRIT JACKED, and it is only the intervention of LUCY that saves him. Lucy later Spirit Jacks a russian bridebody to save "Cryin'" Freeman, who discovers the Russian brides were SPIRIT WIPED by TriMafia experimentation with the LUCYDRUG. Lucy returns to her place in the universal INFOFLOW.

its the plot to the second Ghost in the Shell movie lol

You make the previous godlike being loose its omnipotence by a macguffin,and the film is them trying to get it back while also relearning what being human is? I mean theres a bunch of scifi stories with this premise and also a couple of holy books. Basically just adapt the last book of the wizard of earthsea saga.

Okay, I'll admit The New Testament is a decent sequel to The Old Testament. Less begats and more story, and you sympathise with the main character, but it really runs off the rails at the end.
