Avengers and Infinity War were both day one movies for me but this is feeling more like an Age of Ultron tuesday matinee. On one hand I like the *idea* of not spoiling anything in the trailers but on the other hand they've got to give us somehing to get butts in seats other than people moping around. It's because Infinity War sucked rear end, hope that helps.

Detective No. 27 posted:I tried reading some modern Fantastic Four comics back in my heavy comic reading days and could never get into them. I did find they worked well as supporting characters in other comics though. fantastic four is one of those things that is hyper ultra cliche and every single thing about them is a trope you've seen a million billion times, and they just feel lame. Then you go look it up and it turns out they invented 90% of it and are the exact reason those tropes exist and they are foundational to all comics story telling. And that is really cool historically, but still makes them a big dull chore to read.

The two biggest Avengers films are thematically about "not spoiling anything" and that kicks rear end.

You guys get the whole "we can't tell tom holland anything" is just a running joke and an intentional thing, not something real, right? https://twitter.com/iamgeekingout/status/990960766428696576

It's believable based on previous actual complaints from actors about acting against a tennis ball on a stick, and the Ian McKellen crying story referenced above But yeah if that was just a joke about keeping secrets from Holland it is pretty good, and I guess I am one of the April fools

They should at least put a sticker of the character on the tennis ball.

My favorite part of the Beauty and the Beast live action remake was the "Be Our Guest" rendition. Not because it was really any good, but because it was fun to watch Emma Watson try to look really engaged while imagining what it was actually like for her to sit in a dark room for hours, watching stagehands wave tennis balls in her face.

Hickman's Fantastic Four/F4 which built up his Secret War was hands down the best thing Marvel has done in the last whatever years, and it's because it fully embraced those strengths of the source while doing new things. Also, Doom is the best "kind-of" villain Marvel has.

Mine was when they cut down Belle to be a 200% easier song to sing, including the best vocal parts of the song, and they still were sung mediocre-ly.

I didn’t realize tickets went on sale today. I guess everyone in DC has AMC A List or something because the largest theater was basically sold out of all their Dolby Cinema and IMAX showings for opening weekend. I’ve never seen a film in Dolby Cinema but my understanding is it’s a higher quality presentation unless you’re in a laser IMAX or 70mm theater. I did manage to sneak in a decent seat for Dolby Cinema late Saturday evening. I’ll probably see it again in IMAX to see what I missed out on; I think seeing it in IMAX first is probably worse since I may not notice the extra stuff since I’ll be focused on the middle of frame... he said to rationalize his decision.

Artistically they are of course open to criticism, but financially they seem to have this whole thing down to a science.

Whether or not this is a joke, it's more or less what their fight scenes look like, which makes it either a very good joke or a very bad one.

lol there won't be any Doom, FF, X-Men, Deadpool, none of that in the stingers, they only just got the rights and they were explicitly barred from even working on anything involving those characters until the deal was done. We won't see that poo poo on screen for two years minimum.

Ryan Reynolds probably just hangs around the marvel studios in the Deadpool suit for shits and giggles. If there's any universe merging, 4th wall breaking scene to be done at the end of the movie it'll probably be a quick one of him.

teagone posted:The trailer for the ticket sales that came out yesterday doesn't give me hope the movie's aesthetic will live up to the scope and context. For shame. I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I just rewatched Infinity War and the Titan fight between Thanos and Iron Man / Dr. Strange / Spiderman / GotG crew feels really weirdly cramped and small-set-ish, despite it all being CGI and therefore open to any and all possibilities. I'm don't know how to describe this in *~filmic language~*, so maybe I can use some examples to show what I mean: The scale of the lattice bits of Cybertron crashing into Earth in Transformers: The Last Knight is far, far more impressive and well-realized, and you really get the impression that it's this massive thing.    In the A:IF Titan fight, all the bits of debris feel, essentially, like an plane hanger that has rusted. Big, but not huge, even though the fight is very meaningful as it's the absolutely closest the team ever gets to stopping Thanos.    Then there's the final fight where the isolated pockets of fighting, like the Only-Gurls-Allowed fight that happens in an ugly ditch, or the woods fight, all feel small scale and deflate what is supposed to be the gravity of this grand fight.    Even in this last one, the camera pulls back and gives us a wide shot, and everything looks so puny. The fights look small and "un-epic" despite what the script and score would have you believe. Also, to me, they're just buttcrack ugly. (Sorry for the poor resolution of images, I just snipped them from YT clips.) Shrimp or Shrimps fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Apr 3, 2019 |
