I liked the Rampage game from what I played of it and I liked the movie, so. It's basically something like a modern B-movie. Kinda weird given Jumanji 2 was basically the best video game movie I've ever seen specifically by not being about a specific (real life) video game, but a sentient setting that's implicitly taking the piss out of them.

Surely the Internet would love a movie where a man who is not glacier-white WASP turns into a giant gorilla.

This is the same internet that spawned god knows how many horrible fetishes based on morphing, fake animals, and gigantism and you honestly think the internet would hate that? It would be an instant cult classic and be championed by those who wear weird costumes and commission fetish pieces.

Razorwired posted:According to the sequels the hacker's attempts kinda mean gently caress all. The machines consider them a bit of inevitable glitching because the illusion of rebellion makes the program work. So to keep them fighting the Agents are probably intentionally made to be imposing and nearly unstoppable without being omnipotent.

Jupiter Ascending, like Valerian & The City of a Thousand Planets, are great eye candy with incomprehensible plots. They are movies best viewed on an airplane, with the audio off & the subtitles on, and drunk on several mini bottles of booze the attendants offer.

When a sitcom brings back a formerly recurring character for a one-off episode and completely destroys their characterization for cheap jokes. I'm catching up on Brooklyn 99, and in season 4 Teddy, Amy's former fiance, comes back for one episode only to be so comically exaggerated and overblown it's not even remotely funny. It also might be that he was a straight-man type character and in this episode he's supposed to be a source of humour instead.

I should preface this by saying I maybe go out to 3 movies a year, and that's usually only if I'm pretty darn sure it's going to be good. Jupiter Ascending was one of the few movies I saw in the theater that I realized was stupid as I was watching it, as opposed to in the car on the way home. My IIMM is Channing Tatum is very endearing and he's great in Magic Mike and Logan Lucky but he should never be cast in anything where we're supposed to take him seriously. Jupiter Ascending was the movie that really drove home to me though that there are absolutely no limits anymore to what can be shown in a movie except imagination and budget.

The point here is that The Rock is half black and a commom racist thing lovely people do is compare black people to gorillas, not that internet kinksters would enjoy it for pervy reasons.

I think this is an admirable quality that the Wachowski's seem to be able to consistently deliver even when the movie isn't great overall. Jupiter Ascending, Cloud Atlas, and Speed Racer are all films that certainly have flaws but the imagination and creativity in them is also extremely obvious and I find it impossible not to enjoy them.

DrBouvenstein posted:Also, why was it a big deal in the second/third one that Smith "came back"? Agent Smith posted:I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die... with a certain satisfaction, I might add. Then something happened. something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. After that, I understood the rules, I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I've changed. I'm unplugged. A new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently, free.

Yea the idea is that a "destroyed" program like Smith would've been supposed to return to the Source, and yea theoretically once there maybe he'd be reuploaded or repurposed or whatever. But Smith, somehow as a result of his contact with Neo, was able to rebel against that and remain in the Matrix as more of a virus.

He was no longer an agent of the system, but his own agent with his own sinister motives.

it's like running an uninstaller, except when uac asked for admin privileges, neo clicked the yes button so hard it tried to uninstall the entire c: drive so, the matrix's engine was built by bungie instead of bethesda the whole time

That they even bothered to include Spridle and Chim-chim in the main plot was spectacular and they managed to capture exactly how annoying and dangerous they were in the cartoon.

Cloud Atlas is one of those films that left me slightly underwhelmed when I left the theater but kept returning to me for weeks. The more I thought about it, the more it somehow both annoyed and impressed me. It has flaws the size of a small truck but is so ambitious I just can't help root for it. I'm sure it's saying something profound too, even if the film itself doesn't always know the point it's trying to make.

I don't think it will happen sadly quote:"Because let's face it, Crank 2 is a really cool movie, but it made like $12 at the box office," Taylor confessed. "There's not a strong financial reason why everybody's trying to make this movie to get rich. There's only one reason to make Crank 3, and that's just because it's super f*cking cool. If it's not that, then it's not worth the time. That's really what would need to happen for that movie to exist, is for everybody to be on the same page creatively to, 'Okay, as exponentially weirder as Crank 2 was to Crank 1, that's how Crank 3 has to be.'"

Movies that end on a "gently caress you" note. Like this movie I just finished called Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Mah (would not recommend, especially if you don't like the idea of a bigfoot rape scene), the protagonist beats the bigfoot in a heroic last stand and you think he is about to go home, but then nope, two more bigfoots kill him and fade to credits. There was absolutely no indication that there were more than one of them in the area for the entire rest of the movie. It's like that comedy cliche they used to do where the character is yelling in the street or whatever and gets plowed over by a bus, but instead of being funny it's just annoying and makes me felt like I wasted my time watching it.

Sorcerer does this, and it's not out of nowhere or an asspull but it still stings. Not sure if it makes it better or worse, honestly. It's that kind of movie where things just don't go well so you're always on the edge, but these are literally the last seconds where it seemed like someone could have a moment of happiness.

I guess that second bit makes sense but I still don't know why only one was ever shown on screen until that point. The other ones had different masks/etc (I think) and we only saw the one. Maybe it was some ritual they do where he picks a human to rape? Who knows/cares. The more I think about that movie the more I regret watching it. Anyway I know the ending is pretty common but that doesn't make it any less irritating. Like I thought the ending to The Descent was fine with her leaving in her car and hallucinating the dead girl, but then that one ending has her just wake up back in the cave again about to get eaten. It just screams "we don't know how else to end this" and cheapens the whole thing. e: The Mist ending was a little different, if they had just rolled credits immediately after he shot them I'd put it in the same category, but as it is I think it's fine, albeit brutal.

Besides sequel hooks, I really hate the "everything you just saw was irrelevant, gently caress you audience"-enders. Its lazy writing and a way to mock the audience for actually being interested in something; its also done so many times that there no is shock value or artistic merit in it whatsoever.
