Inhumans wasn't laughably bad enough to be compared to The Room. It was just boringly bad.

And Venom wasn't nearly as awful as people said, either. It was a dumb movie, but it was kinda fun! And I gave it points for not feeling the need to torture its plot into a 2.5+ hour epic.

Venom is no where near the same kind of reception. No one talks about Venom the way they talk about the Room. Venom hasn't basically become a meme film.

I don't know, I laughed at Venom a lot, and in scenes I don't think the director intended to be humorous.

Personal taste and opinion have nothing to do with how large groups of people perceive a given thing though. The Room is a film that is specifically well known for its weird and unique level of badness. Tons of bad movies get released every year and no one cares because they are forgettable. The Room, despite being "a bad film" is actually liked by a whole lot of people because of its awkward, strange qualities. People definitely both liked and disliked Venom, but to suggest it occupies the same kind of space in pop culture (at whatever level, even if just internet pop culture) is pretty bogus. Unless people are just using comparisons to The Room improperly because they don't actually know what it is and just think it fills the space of "worst movie ever."

The thing that made the Room so great/bad was the earnestness and sincerity behind it. It raises to outsider art at some points even. Tommy wanted to make a serious character piece that would win all the Oscars but he was so inept and incompetent that even when he was trying his hardest it failed so badly. That is why stuff like The Room and Ed Wood's movies are so endearing. They aren't bad on purpose, they are the work of the creators visions where what they thought they were making and what they ended up making are so far at either end of the spectrum that they right earn the title of "Best Bad Movie". I was going to make the argument that Fantastic Four (Corman) would be closest to The Room but it is Roger Corman and he never had any delusions of grandeur so not even close. The latest Fantastic Four might be there but it is such a dour boring film that it isn't even interesting watching it from a trainwreck point of view.

You can have fun with "is this real or is it a reshoot?" (The key is looking for Kata Mara's really bad wig.)

The Corman Fantastic Four film is pretty much the best one by default.

Honestly has there ever been a superhero movie that has been nothing more than a passion project? I guess Dick Tracy or Darkman in a way.

"a group of creepy scientists did terrible things to an innocent girl" And here was me thinking maybe TV was actually ready for exploring mental illness as a response to realistic deep personal trauma within the context of superhero fiction like the comics somehow managed to do 30 years ago but nnnnope those dastardly creepy scientists were at it again, and the trauma remains on I Fought With My Mom level. Gonna give it a go but I'm kinda disappointed already, though not unexpectedly so, and I can't say I have high hopes.

Watched the first two episodes of The Umbrella Academy and I'm enjoying it so far. They combined the first two minis into one story so you have the apocalypse story and also the stuff with what 5 didn't tell the others about from his time in the future. It's clear that someone threw a bunch of money into the production because the effects are all pretty good.

Doom Patrol is pretty great. Of course, being a TV show, there are just enough tweaks to their origins (Larry being gay which was alluded to in Morrison's run, Cliff didn't die the way he remembered at first, subtle racism on Rita) to separate these guys from their 60's origin form. Even without the nudity and the language, this was never getting on a broadcast network. In the 60's, therapy for the Doom Patrol was defined by beating back villains and threats every day of the week; today, it's closer to reality: staying inside, watching gobs of TV, coping and suffering. At least it's taking a serious approach to mental illness whereas most other shows dip their toe in it and then cut away, Danny the Street is going to be a difficult concept to push out even with decent CGI. High hopes for this show and goals set for almost all of the characters. Hopefully Rita will eventually gain enough control over the course of the series so that she gets her original powers back (ability to become small / giant but in a way that doesn't evoke Gi/Ant Man)

Danny wouldn't even need that much CGI, just great set design. Much like Jane doesn't need a weird transition effect, just acting. I'm nitpicking, I quite liked it! It's not super weird but it's got the potential and I like the general tone of it. Definitely want to see where it's going. The only thing that irritates me is the time frame. Cooped up in the house for 20-60 years, man. Could have made it, like, five, this whole 60s/70s/80s thing feels a bit too like Planetary for my taste. (If I really wanted to put on my media theory hat I'd say something about nostalgia and lacking frames of reference when all the world's media history is at your fingertips at once but I don't really do.)

DC probably couldn't make it too much weirder unless they wanted to throw more money at Morrison or not get any viewers due to it being a little too out there. I kinda wish the threat The Chief was trying to convince the team of had been a little more concrete.. just Niles blubbering about 'all his enemies' seemed more like some old guy wrapped in his own paranoia than a true threat. Like maybe shots of Animal/Mineral/Vegetable Man walking outside the Cloverton town limits, General Immortus polishing his sword, Brotherhood of Evil throwing junk food at their TV or something. (Comedy typecast: Patrick Stewart as General Immortus) What was Cliff going to do on his lonesome anyway? Go to town to meet with the reporters like he did during the Jost years and try to explain things in some hometown Garrison Keillor style? Kinda glad we will get to see Brandon Fraser in flashback, but you can tell it's been a looooong time since Encino Man. Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Feb 16, 2019 |

I doubt Morrison or most people related to the original of these series are getting anything. They're not creator-owned comics.

DC technically pays royalties for use of characters writers created after a date I forget, but they are very good at wiggling out of it.

Yeah isn't one of their goto defenses based around "derivative" works? So if you DID make a character after the cut off, BUT that character was derivative of another character, then it doesn't count and you get nothing.
