Mat Cauthon posted:How is expressing an opinion pretentious? I didn't say that my view was explicitly more correct than anyone else's nor did I put down anyone else's enjoyment of his non-comedy stuff. I just said that his continuing status as high level tastemaker guy was baffling to me as someone who doesn't really enjoy his work. Different strokes for different folks and all that. Nope, you made definitive statements, at least in regards to Get Out and Us, that don't match with critical or audience consensus. It's always lovely seeing people make definitive statements that simply don't hold water to be a pretentious contrarian, and then cry about how it's "just an opinion" when called on it. Are we all supposed to be impressed? edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Feb 29, 2020 |

Mat Cauthon posted:In any case yes I do understand how numbers work so as long as his movies keep making money yes he will continue to be a thing despite his output being uneven at best or mediocre and derivative at worst, depending on where you're standing. I'm being pedantic, but "at best" his work is considered great, not uneven.

Like, I'm sure there are some gems in there but it's far and away the worst decade for horror (/culture).

Also: Bordello of Blood is trash, but Demon Knight fucks, it's so good. Billy Zane is out of his goddamn mind in that movie.

For the last time this is the something awful forums, no movie is better than mediocre unless it is John Wick or The Raid II.

I just inflicted this on my friends last night, it's my favorite Billy Zane movie by a mile. He is putting on a loving clinic and seems like he's having so much fun.

Vagabundo posted:Nope, you made definitive statements, at least in regards to Get Out and Us, that don't match with critical or audience consensus. every statement about a movie's quality is inherently subjective because movie quality is, by and large, not an objective thing to be measured. Do you really need everyone to affix a big bold "IN MY OPINION, WHICH IS NOT AN OBJECTIVE STATEMENT OF FACT AND MERELY A VALUE STATEMENT BASED ON MY BELIEFS ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD CINEMA" before they say anything about a movie? i don't even agree with the guy but instead of actually asking why he thinks they're mediocre you're pulling a "well that's just like, your opinion, man" which is totally pointless.

Get Out is a good film. Us is a less than good film.

Get Out was pretty good but Us never grabbed me. I watched the Kill Count on YouTube and didn’t miss much - plus the dumb ending. Then Twilight Zone was trash so there isn’t much hope here. Maybe he’ll bounce back.

GrandpaPants posted:I feel like Billy Zane deserved a better career than he got. I think he did okay. If you look at his list of credits there's a lot of schlock but he's also been attached to things like Twin Peaks and Titanic even if he's never the best or most memorable person in them.

Get Out is great Us is pretty good. Though no movie could live up to the Us trailer.

Billy Zane was also The Phantom, which is unironically one of my favorites.

I caught Demon Knight on TV late at night once, having no idea what it was. I miss stumbling on films like that, and I'm still holding out hope for a Billy Zane Revival any day now.

I have no idea what the forums consensus on Hunters is because I'm only halfway through it and I'm not going anywhere near a thread about it, but I am loving is so loving much that anyone calling it garbage confuses me. Maybe the second half bombs out, but I'd find that hard to believe. Seriously, I started watching over the weekend and had to force myself to stop watching because I had poo poo to do, dammit. I have no idea how involved Jordan Peele is with it, though, being an "Executive Producer".

Groovelord Neato posted:Cutting back to Auschwitz with the tone the show has was a terrible choice. I said this in another thread as well. Its portrayal of the Holocaust was Saw-level exploitative torture-porn, not a stark reminder that the Nazis were capital E Evil. That stuff is mostly contained to the first two episodes, after which the show is fun.

I'll admit the chess scene in the first episode was too much, but other than that I think the show has handled the tonal shifts rather well.

Didn't click it at first because the screenshot looks like another generic animated movie from no one interesting. You should have mentioned it's from the studio that made Spider-verse. This looks fantastic?

The jokes aren't really landing for me and I'm sooo tired of the "stop looking at your screens!" nonsense. I mean that's just the loving world we live in. No putting that genie back in the bottle. Hell even after the turn I can see it straying into super generic "oh hey actually her tech-y side helped save the world. We have more in common than I thought!" Still though - cautiously optimistic.

From some scenes in the trailer, I think the end message is going to be "phone good, but only in moderation". The trailer is probably designed to appeal to the boomers and also kids who aren't jaded by boomer-think. It's working on me though, the movie looks good!
