Was Inside Man the one with the hilariously awful GTA clone in it? It's a fantastic example of "Old people don't know what video games are" in film

Das Boo posted:I'm honestly surprised the new NoES movie didn't take the opportunity to make Freddy a misunderstood victim of a lynch mob who turned into a vengeful wraith. There was already something severely wrong with Nancy's mom in the original, seems like it'd be a fun path to explore. It's just so right there. Like make him a scumbag townie, but not a molester/murderer and you could have him be the wise-cracking douchebag rear end in a top hat from the old movies and still give him a solid motivation for killing people.

the worst movie of the decade was slenderman (2018). above every other bizarre choice for a movie about slenderman this movie makes the one that sticks with me the most is...why on earth would anybody want to take a high school class on a field trip to a historic graveyard in the first place

I also go back and forth on the scumminess factor of going ahead with the film after the stabbing. It's not the film's fault nor is it the fault of anyone to do with the story but there are still big portions of the movie that get very close to being a Law and Order level RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES telling of an actual child stabbing.

Yeah the theater in that town just didn’t play that movie, for obvious reasons. It was sort of like some of the criticism about 30 Minutes or Less, but that was taking a real gruesome thing that happened and made it into a comedy, and this was taking something gruesome that happened and made it more gruesome.

My understanding is that they cut a lot out of the movie after the stabbing. Stuff that went too close to what happened that they could cut without making the movie incomprehensible, and just generally most of the violence. Tot the point that most of the scary stuff in the trailer isn't in the released movie.

Never saw it, but it reminds me that The House (the one where Amy Poeheler and Will Ferrell start a home casino) was incredibly dire. It runs about 80 minutes; most of the actual plot is excised in favor of one laugh-free, interminable scene of riffing after another (not that the actual story stuff would’ve been any good either).

If they had stayed the early course, constantly excusing/letting Moriarty go while inadvertently committing his crimes/plots for him, it would have been pretty good. But they chickened out when they started to weekend @ bernie the queen, then blinked and went with her just being knocked out and enjoying it and just, laaaame Without the Step Brothers commitment to learning the absurdly wrong lesson, it just becomes a Seth MacFarlane joint.

That's the one. It doesn't mention that there were 7 or 8 other Mortdecai films in development at the time, and they were all scrapped the moment the first one flopped as badly as it did.

The advertising is actually a very good representation of the movie. Mortdecai assumes that you will be utterly charmed by the main character from your first sight of him. Audiences will be so delighted by just the image of Johnny Depp in a mustache, there is no reason to bother making the character likable or charming or sympathetic or funny.

For some reason, they really thought Mortdecai would blow up. That, or they overestimated how much people would want to see Johnny Depp being quirky in 2015.

I'm proud that there was a moment when, as a nation, we put our foot down and told Johnny Depp, "No, we are not going to pay to see you just gently caress around for 2 hours in literally anything. I don't know why, but this is where we're drawing the line."

As a parent, I would like to note that Norm of the North is easily the worst movie I have ever paid money to see in a theater. Also Jem and the Holograms, which takes a beloved bit of 80s nostalgia and strips it of everything that made it fun and interesting.

That's a film where I actually felt my brain check out for self-preservation while I was watching it. I distinctly remember that it's terrible, but don't remember almost anything else about it. Even reading a plot synopsis is unfamiliar.

One of the truly baffling things about the movie was how many jokes it tried to wring out of the premise that Mortdecai's mustache was disgusting. Like, the movie acts like the mustache is genuinely instinctively repulsive. Paltrow's character starts dry heaving when she gets close to it. And if you've seen the posters, you'll know that's not a reasonable reaction to that msutache. So maybe she thought they were going to change it in post production, add CGI stink lines or something.

I'm going to throw Juno into this flaming garbage pile of attempted art. I've seen many, many movies in my day- but this is the sole one that almost made me walk out of the theatre in disgust. Dialogue that's overwritten, overwrought, self indulgent and just plain unnatural sounding being spoken by teenagers. Characters that learn nothing, but exists as living quip generators to move the story forward. A story that's weirdly anti-choice for all the wrong reasons. The culminated stupidity of the characters involved actually leads to a tragic end for everyone, but it's seen as an upbeat comedy because of the ~jokes~. gently caress this movie. e: It's a movie so terrible it transcends time and space.
