LORD OF BOOTY posted:e: that's kind of the other thing that makes me unironically love MK, the games just have the absolute goofiest loving sense of humor and it works perfectly juxtaposed with all the brutal violence. like, honestly, if you made a completely accurate MK movie that gets both the gore and the tone right, it'd probably still get a PG-13 for the same reasons as, like, Drag Me To Hell; it's kind of hard to be disturbed by violence that's surrounded by idiosyncratic jokes. That's my favorite thing about the MK series. The devs know how goofy it is and have fully embraced it over the years. The goofy as gently caress Kart Racing minigame from MK: Armageddon still makes me smile.

Halloween is rated B15 in my country (that's 15 year olds can get in, younger people with their parents or an adult), it didn't even reach the C or D which is the "only adults" rating.

Halloween opening with an estimated $33 mil on Friday alone, putting it on pace to break the October 1st weekend record that Venom set just two weeks ago with $80.25 mil. To those who have seen it: Is this a genuinely solid sequel, or a sub-par H2O retread? From what I've seen, the critical reception for this one has been all over the map.

Just want to comment that if you take a movie like Total Recall, that in Canada it could have been softcore pornography and so as long as it was after 10pm you could see nudity and simulated sex but they'd edit out the violence versus Saudi Arabia where they'd leave all the violence in at like 6pm-12am but edit out so much as a woman's sleeveless arm showing. America is more like the latter where guns, violence, bloodshed is considered more okay but human sexuality is a bigger no no in comparison. Puritan roots.

This was a while back, but thanks to everyone who suggested Candyman and Lord of Illusions. They were both fantastic, though I’m left with two questions: 1) Are the Candyman sequels worth watching? 2) Aside from a couple episodes of Quantum Leap, is there anything else I can watch where Scott Bakula plays a hammy 40s PI?

I saw Lords of Chaos at the London Film Festival this weekend. It’s being released (in the UK anyway) in Jan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of_Chaos_(film) It’s about the lunatic Norwegian heavy metal bands of the early 90s - the guys who went around burning churches and knifing each other. Proto-edgelords. This stuff was all over the metal magazines at the time, so it’s something I’ve been aware of for years. And it was actually rather good. It captures the essential silliness of guys who paint their faces with white paint and scream about Satan. Crucially, it has a sense of humour - in fact there are some very decent jokes, whilst still treating the serious stuff (suicide, hate crimes, murder)...seriously. Rory Culkin - who I have never seen in anything before - was flat out excellent as Euronymous, ditto the dude who played Dead. The one major flaw of the film is that they botched the depiction of Varg Vikernes. On one hand they, correctly, wrote him as the vicious little dweeb that he was and is. But he’s given some awful dialogue (“Øystein Aarseth you are a fraud and poser, it is I who is true evil and the standard bearer of Norwegian Black Metal”), and the actor is just wooden and trying way too hard. He’s like a villain in some crappy YA Netflix show. But, still a good film. I give this 4 inverted crosses out of 5.

Two delays in the headlines today: Wonder Woman 1984 has been pushed back 7 months to June 2020, taking over the release date of WB's Six Billion Dollar Man update with Marky Mark (which is now completely absent from the studio's release schedule. ) Meanwhile, Disney has pushed Jungle Cruise to July 2020, thus denying us the opportunity to have two films in theaters at the same time based around having Dwayne Rock Johnson's cod-and-'roid-fueled rear end mugging his way through a rainforest. Sony, you know what you have to do - time to shuffle Jumanji 2 to roughly the same realse window and see if you can make the big D blink again.

Pirates of the Caribbean might be being rebooted quote:The studio has met with the writing team of Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and they are in early talks to write the script. Reese & Wernick are the writers behind the first two Deadpool blockbusters, and before that wrote Zombieland and its sequel, and 6 Underground, the action film that Michael Bay is directing for Netflix with Ryan Reynolds starring. https://deadline.com/2018/10/pirates-of-the-caribbean-reboot-deadpool-writers-rhett-reese-paul-wernick-johnny-depp-1202488160/

Good, we need more pirate movies, and fewer Depp movies. There's a lot of interesting directions to take this—adapting the original ride more directly, make a movie that isn't bogged down by the family-fantasy-supernatural formula of the previous ones, make a film of a totally different tone or sub-genre... or they'll probably just stick with the audience expectation and do another similar film to the previous but without the stink of Depp's dead albatross around it. Personally I'd love if they went more horror in tone, but that wouldn't be very Disney of them. I'd expect a more overt comedy based on the writers. Or, hopefully, a comedy/adventure swashbuckler.

I think the ship's sailed on that one. The first was too similar in all the important ways, it would be too much of a retread. An animated film in the style of the 3rd game would be sick though.

The first Pirates movie is a solid flick that is harder to watch these days because of fatigue both regarding its pop culture oversaturation and some of the problematic elements of its cast. The second is a really rad effects reel with a killer score.
