You should see the New Mutants trailer. It's not even "superheroes with horror elements", it's straight up horror. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu9e410C__I&t=9s Speaking of X-Men, this is not a poster but a real magazine cover.  Actual posters

The MSJ posted:Side note: He did write a Space Mountain movie script but Disney did not pick it up. It's about future people travelling faster than light on a space train, but something went wrong because while the train can transport physical things at FTL speeds, it cannot do so to non-physical things such as the human soul. I wonder if he's aware he stole that concept from an old Tom Robbins novel, can't recall which one, that proposed (jokingly) that the cause of jet lag was that your soul needed time to catch up to your body.

It's also in at least the radio series of Hitchhikers Guide, probably made it into the novels.

Is Jim Carrey's impersonation of Andy Kaufman really so interesting that it needs a documentary?

Nah, The Jaunt is more like that scary situation whenever "hypersleep" is in a Sci-Fi movie and there's that terrifying idea that someone was awake the whole time. Or during surgery, I guess, for a more realistic example. The Jaunt is about how airports have teleporters or some poo poo, and some guy passes through and gets stuck and comes out the other sad crazy and white haired with long fingernails babbling about how he lived 50,000 years in the span of a second or something. (going from memory)

Firstborn posted:(going from memory) Rather accurate. The story is about a dad telling his kids a (sanitized) history of the Jaunt system, how you have to be asleep during it even if its practically instant. Ends with one of his kids holds his breath to avoid being knocked out by gas, and he comes out having actually experienced 500,000 years.

I like Man on the Moon, but the performance wasn't so transformative that I buy the whole stuck in method thing. I'm sure it was mostly a put-on to generate publicity for the movie, and they just didn't happen to use the behind the scenes footage at the time.

Have you seen Jim Carrey since that movie? He's a legit crazy person now. It's great that he's just enjoying life painting and occasionally making a movie, but dude genuinely has broke-brain now.

I feel like it was more like Eternal Sunshine or The Number 23 where he went nuts, dated tramps and believed in inoculation conspiracy theories. I actually feel like he's better now than in previous years.

Looks like his last good movie was Philip Morris in 2009, though his part in Kick-rear end 2 was good (2013), it's just a shame that movie is so bad in general. e: actually The Bad Batch might be good, it sure sounds just insane enough to be interesting, and also has Keanu Reeves as a Burning Man rave cult leader apparently precision fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Nov 14, 2017 |

IIRC he gave his girlfriend the herpes, broke up with her, and was pressuring her into signing an NDA for a payout when she committed suicide on pills that he may or may not have supplied her (all according to the girlfriend's parents).

Carrey attempted during filming to make it seem like he had become Kaufman. He and Jerry Lawler staged a fight, a la the famous Lawler-Kaufman fight on Letterman. Carrey also tried to make people on the set think he had totally believed he was Andy Kaufman. But since it was 1996 and not the early 1980s and everybody knew that it was all movie hype.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Is this actually going to be about Freemasons or is it that just an unfortunate coincidence? I think it's doubtful since the whole time travel aspect is already really out there for German television. Introducing conspiracy stuff on top of that would probably be a bridge too far. If you're into the conspiracy angle, there is a really good (albeit bleak) German film called "23 - Nichts ist so wie es scheint" that directly references the Illuminatus! Trilogy and stuff.

Yeah I watched it last night and it was nice to look at the Burning Man village but boy howdy it was quite dull. There's almost literally zero dialogue, which can work but in this case... eh. Though I'd recommend it for free, just for morbid curiosity sake.

The Bad Batch was nowhere near as good as the director's first movie. I forget her name offhand but she made the Iranian vampire movie. This one was kind of all over the place. Excelled use of Ace of Base though.
