not trolled not crying posted:The only thing I was wondering after seeing The Snowman was what the hell was going on with Val Kilmer in that movie? I know he's had some throat problems (cancer?) and has probably had some surgery, but wasn't it obvious as hell that his voice was completely dubbed by some dude who didn't sound like him at all? The voice didn't even sync with his lips' movement, and at times Kilmer wasn't even speaking, yet there was that voice. What the gently caress? There's also like one scene where he's very clearly speaking but there's no voice. Its not surprise that there are reports of it having a troubled production because the movie is weirdly unfocused for a film about hunting down a serial killer. Also bizarre characterization, like Fassbender starts the movie as a falling down, sleeping in the streets drunk but then the plot kicks in and its pretty much never mentioned again, other than a flash of the killer taking a picture of him at one point even though said picture never comes up? I know serial killer movies have red herrings but the movie spends way too long on JK Simmons and it has zero pay off for anything at all. The final shot of him in the movie looking bemused kind of sums the entire thing up. Also the less said about poor Rebecca Ferguson the better.

DLC Inc posted:the book is airport-fiction tier poo poo, I have no idea why this was touted and marketed so heavily. Because they thought they could make Girl With The Dragon Tattoo money on this suppousedly. It's fitting cause Jo Nesbø is almost as big a hack as Stieg Larsson. He is only where he is today because he was already privileged and connected. As soon as he got bored with one career he bounced of to another, just as mediocre there too.

She really gets the brunt of the badness of the film. Her character is all over the place, completely unprofessional multiple times and then gets really ignobly killed off. Which is a really bizarre plot point because there's no reason for her to be killed off as she was nowhere near close to catching the bad guy and his thing was almost entirely just killing specific people for specific reasons. Also I just want to say how The Snowman has to have one of the most pointlessly anticlimactic endings to a final confrontation ever. The bad guy shoots Fassbender and as he is coming towards him to finish him off he falls in a previously unseen hole in the ice and just kind of instantly dies. That's it, cut to Fassbender rescuing exgirlfriend and her kid (who may be his son, it was very confusing.)

God drat it, the name I gave the police was SnowDan, not Snowman. That is why underneath all the Snowmen I wrote out "Dan" in the snow.

GrandpaPants posted:I thought The Snowman's trailer looked alright and it had a solid cast and great director, so I was hoping it would have at least been passably entertaining. Same. I've almost never follow critics and can get enjoyment from most anything but a proactive article from the director about how much his movie sucks has turned me off of it.

I saw a trailer for Insidious 4 before Happy Death Day and I have 2 questions: 1) Why do we need a 4th Insidious movie? I can't remember anything about 2 or 3 now. Of course 1 ruled and was super memorable, but I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened in the sequels. Are they still making crazy money or are they just dirt cheap to make or what? 2) Why is it coming out in January? January is notoriously a dumping ground for poo poo movies studios have no faith in, so I'm guessing it won't be very good.

They made a completely serious thriller novel and then a thriller movie heavily relying on the idea that snowmen imagery is menacing. That's...quite an idea. The Polish distributor changed the title to First Snow, probably because the Polish word for snowman can also mean moron, but I like to think that they also realized how dumb making a serious gritty thriller about snowmen is. Also, apparently the sidekick lady doesn't die in the book. I wonder what was the reason for the change.

Personally I'm glad I saw it in a theater with a bunch of dumb teens screaming and laughing at bad jokes. Without that kind of atmosphere it'd be a little boring and forgettable with some genuinely fun and funny moments as well. It's simple fun.

Geostorm isn't that implausible a term, people talk about superstorm these days without cracking up. Using it as a movie's name somehow feels dumb as hell though.

I'm a Chem E, and I went, with a Physical Chemist/Mathematician, a Geophysicist, and a Climate Scientist. It was the best! We also went to Day After Tomorrow and 2012 and I flew back to Wisconsin to see Geostorm with them (and drink beer of course). We spend the dinners and the time at the bar afterward, breaking down the math and pseudo-physics. It is so loving nerdy.

I remember I really enjoyed reading the intuitor.com review of the Core, which has always been their number one pick for most "insulting stupid movie physics" because "it's so bad, it's good."
