Wheat Loaf posted:Get Smart had Don Adams, who was also Inspector Gadget, which reminds me how I saw the live-action Inspector Gadget movie with Matthew Broderick in the cinema when it came out. And it was a school trip, too, for some reason. Did you ever see the sequel? I'm curious how that got greenlit, did the first movie actually sell well? I figured it wouldnt live up to my hazy memories of the show

It might have gotten a theatrical release somewhere but I only ever saw (part of - I don't think I've ever seen all of) it on television.

I went on a school trip to France in high school and I remember staying at a hotel in Normandy and the only thing on TV we could understand was the Broderick Inspector Gadget movie in English with French subtitles. That's the only time I've ever seen it and I shan't watch it again

The original Inspector Gadget made $97.4 mil domestic and about a third of that in foreign markets against a $90 mil budget. Definitely not good enough for a true sequel, but for a DTV effort with French Stewart? Why not. I saw the Broderick one in the theater. All I remember is that a Yahoo! billboard falls on Claw in the first 10 minutes of the movie, complete with a "Yahoooooooooooooo" sound effect, a gag that has aged very well and would definitely be comprehensible to audiences even today.

It was probably one of the last big-ish feature adaptations of an old television series, at least from that stretch in the 90s when it seemed to be a really big thing. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being The Avengers and 10 being The Fugitive, I'd say it ranks at least a Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas.

French Stewart had a short career replacing better/more famous actors in DTV kid's movie sequels since he also played Marv in Home Alone 4

 After living in a psychiatric hospital, Dana (Kathryn Fiore) along with her husband, Aaron (Flip Schultz) attempt to move into their new house where her father (French Stewart) has murdered the entire cast of The Artist during his exorcism. Dana finds herself dealing with various others who live in the house, including an evil spirit and a teenage daughter (Olivia Alexander) who is infatuated with their neighbor Abraham Lincoln (Ben Morrison). *Shudders*

Is that a Seltzer and Friedberg movie? I'm amazed that they still get made because I have a hard time believing anyone actually thinks they're funny, but I believe they're really, really, really cheap to produce so they almost always make money.

I like to imagine that the tone behind the scenes of a Seltzer and Friedberg film is that of a Ken Burns documentary, with forlorn violins playing under crew members penning letters home about how desperate the conditions are, and how they don’t even know why they’re there.

Richard Stanley's adaptation of The Colour Out of Space is apparently "getting very close to going before the cameras". I saw Stanley give a presentation on it with concept art last year and I hope this is one project of his which actually comes out. I hadn't heard before that Jóhann Jóhannsson was going to do the music for it before he died, so the Stanley curse is still alive and well.

No it's by a second-tier Seltzer/Friedberg wannabe who also made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_41-Year-Old_Virgin_Who_Knocked_Up_Sarah_Marshall_and_Felt_Superbad_About_It And he also directed that movie Bad rear end with Danny Trejo "based" on the bus fight video

I always thought the damaged tattoo was a little on the nose. It’s like giving Batman a tattoo that said parental issues or survivors guilt.

I agree that's a big part of it. Joker has to be like the Ultimate Agent of Chaostm or else Batman is just beating a mentally ill man half to death.

I hated the design at first but between the ideas of Joker trying way too hard and looking like a piece of poo poo fitting in perfectly for the character and him also being the most incredibly annoying and obnoxious gangbanger he can be for no reason other than to piss off Batman I've come around.

I’m fine with doing a tryhard edgy Joker, I just wish they’d cast someone more charasmatic than Leto to try and sell it. It’s one of the few reasons I’m looking forward to the Joaquin Phoenix movie. The man pulled off a believable geek/Siri romance, I have little doubt he’ll be a decent Joker.

Imma laugh my butt off if there’s a twist at the end that reveals that Arthur is like a prototype Joker they serves as the inspiration for Leto or some poo poo. It almost feels possible with them giving him a real name and showing him without the getup and whatever. I would not put ot past the movie to indulge in some dumb bait and switch poo poo to have it both ways.
