First reaction is that I hate Lena Dunham, second is that she's the kind of idiot who would join a cult so maybe it's actually inspired casting. I still have some reservations about him reservations about him glamming up a real world spree killing even if it was 50 years ago.

She's probably gonna be in the movie for all of a minute but still: stunt casting isn't cool, Quentin.

Considering the type of poo poo Tarentino makes his actors do, I don't really give a poo poo for whose in his films and who they're playing. With him I just sorta see actors as dolls that he galivants in front of the camera, rather than artists with very specific voices influencing the film. Not to downplay the craft or the performances. Django would not have worked if it wasn't for Jamie Foxx, nor Inglorious Bastards without Waltz. But for the most part I just sorta get the sense that his actors really pick up his vibe and really play towards that, rather than their own voices or characters.

A living death that extends to their children and children's children is what you do so you breed it out of their natures over multiple generations so it sticks. If you're going the horror route.

dirksteadfast posted:I guess the better question is why fund it now? He couldn’t sell it for over 20 years and unless the ads are super misleading the missing ingredient was “Melissa McCarthy goofs”. I have nothing against her, but I don’t think her last few movies did well enough to enable her to sell an unsellable movie. Unless she’s the one bankrolling most of it. Which only confuses me more because if you’re that passionate about getting it made I’d think you’d keep more of the project’s integrity intact. People just need to make cool movies again. I just watched Batman '89 at the cinerama and it's still amazing, none of the marvel movies are even half as good. Speaking of batman, was there ever a version where he was inverted, like after his parents died he became homeless on the streets and became the "Street Rat" and beats up white collar criminals, like bosses stealing tips?

None of the comic book movies which have come out in the past 10 years have had costumes, make-up, sets, art direction and possibly music as good as the Warren Beatty-starring and directed Dick Tracy.

Instead of asking which Jason film is the best, ask instead which Jason design is the best. I think my favorite is the Freddy vs Jason design.

I'm really partial to the iconic simplicity of Manhattan, but New Blood is just fantastic for being true to his history. Honourable mention to Jason X. For how little focus it got compared to ÜberJason, it was such a nice tight design.

I guess it would just all fall under the rubric of "CGI", nevertheless the purpose is exactly the same.

And the one relatively recent superhero comic that was adapted was... the Rocketeer, an homage to 30s pulp characters.  I think The Phantom is the most disappointing of all of them.

I rewatched The Rocketeer a couple of years ago, and I gotta tell you, outside of the finale and that rad-rear end costume, that is a s-l-o-w movie.
