I hate Uwe Boll for how arrogant and lovely he is as a human, but I admire the fucker for making two films at the same time with the same cast and just switching out the main character for each.
I watched Bloodrayne 3 and Blubberella back to back and man, it’s just an odd experience. I def recommend it.

He was taking advantage of a favorable German tax law that let him keep making those movies. Eventually the loophole was closed. Now he can’t get funded.

There are ways to digitally darken people but I don't know if it is cheaper just to use makeup now or edit stuff later and risk it looking bad. We need more information but I wouldn't be surprised either way.

Godzilla the Anime will be on NetFlix January 17th. I haven't watched anime since Akira was released, but have now watched a few episodes of Samurai Pizza Cats to prepare.

The Genie is obviously from another dimension and doesn't percieve time the way we do. He simply watches the events of human history from outside time. Just because he's bound to the lamp doesn't mean much in that respect.

Nah dude they got that angle covered.

quote:

You might be thinking, well, the Genie is omnipotent. He can see the future and uses magic to create futuristic items. However, events in the film contradict this explanation.

The Genie had no idea Aladdin didn't intend to free him, and didn't know Aladdin was going to trick him out of a free wish by suggesting Genie couldn't get them out of the Cave of Wonders.

Dr. Manhattan acted surprised to learn that Silk Spectre was cheating with Niteowl, despite him telling her that minutes earlier. Just because he can see time, he’s trapped in the flow of it.

Fan theories are the worst. They're like film analysis but for people who dislike and disregard subtext. Or are incapable of reading it.

That being said, if we take the DTV sequels and TV show as canon, then while the Genie may not be able to see the future, he can travel there. So the logical assumption is that he just went to the 20th century at some point and absorbed some of the pop culture, then went back to his own time.

You know, if I was in charge of a movie that got a sequel, I'd totally just steal the best fan theory and build on it.

Holdover from 2017: The Last Jedi is expected to do badly in China (where Star Wars has never been the world-conquering franchise it is everywhere else), which combined with its slowdown in North America may yet vindicate my expectation that it won't be the number one movie for 2017.

Wheat Loaf posted:

The number one movie domestically; it's still only number three worldwide.

It almost caught up over the weekend, it'll be #2 in a day or two (or even in an hour or two if they haven't fully updated the worldwide box office for the weekend) and it'll be #1 by the end of the week.

Seeing as Captain America: Civil War beat Rogue One in 2016 it's a pretty safe bet that Avengers: Infinity War will beat Solo.

But Jurassic World beat all the MCU films including Avengers so we'll have to see how Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom goes.


Edit: dang, Solo is being released 3 weeks after Avengers 3 and one week before Deadpool 2 (and a month before Jurassic World 2). That's a whole bunch of big budget effects-laden action/adventure romps about quippy anti-heroes-with-a-heart-of-gold and so far the only thing that distinguishes Solo from the pack is that it had a whole bunch of lovely behind the scenes dramas which forced them to reshoot half of it.

I don't think a Marvel flagship movie going up against a Star Wars "story" is much of a contest. Especially when the latter is probably going to be a mess to some degree or another.
