ST09 is a lot of fun, with some really memorable performances from Bana, Greenwood and Pegg. The "lens flare" thing is not really that noticeable unless you look for it. A fun part of it is that they copied Shatner's fighting skill level for Pine's Kirk. He gets punched in the face like 18+ times through the movie. He absolutely does not hold his own, at all in any of the fights. The hero of this film gets loving owned, constantly. Pretty much every time there's a fight (the bar, the mining rig, the end scene on the narada) he's getting schooled until someone saves him. It's honestly worth a rewatch just to take count. It's kind of the same joke from Lower Decks, just from another direction. Instead of Kirk-Fu being useless, Jack Ransom wrecks poo poo with it.

I know this is only in relation to extremely online people, but I feel like the reaction against Marvel fans going googly-eyed over that line is the first time I've seen major pushback to this kind of ridiculously over the top MCU worship.

My friend is laughing at me. https://twitter.com/madhat31/status/1365773588586987522 This was the original tweet (with the actual line from the show). The tweet I linked prior put in a famous line from Silence of the Lambs as a joke. Necrothatcher posted:What's so dumb about it? Sure it's not especially profound but it's alright for a superhero TV show. It's not a bad line in and of itself, but the Marvel sycophants act like it's one of the most well written lines in TV/film history. That's why people are making fun of it.

This is the reply that people were dunking on and it also spawned a new copy/paste meme. https://twitter.com/seven16/status/1365867749574995972?s=21 quote:I have a degree in Film Directing, I've seen well over 3000 movies, and written 3 screenplays. I've studied Kurosawa, Kubrick, Tarantino, and Scorsese. I saw Wings when they remastered it in 2012 at the TCM Film Festival. I also studied Shakespeare. You don't know me at all.

I can’t be the only one who played a little bit of mass effect and found it extremely generic, boring and clunky right? There was nothing for me to keep playing past the three hour mark. Also my st09 take is that it’s a glitzy movie that goes fast, it’s slightly dumb and means well but the way they get the crew together is absolutely stupid and you can feel whenever a character is getting it’s hero moment coming a mile away. Beyond is so much better in that aspect but nobody cared about it so we aren’t getting a new movie with this crew. 2house2fly posted:I was kind of happy with my own gag about that one This one rules. I know it’s almost a tradition to use the navy seal copypasta but still takes some skill.

Mordiceius posted:I really liked 2009 Star Trek. I was really big into Mass Effect at the time (I mean, who wasn't) and it felt like a really similar vibe. Never ended up seeing the other two, and I think I'm better for it. I really liked Star Trek 09, found Into Darkness to be an entertaining misfire and thought Beyond was fun but you could sand the IP off it and the movie would still work so I can see why people who are more invested in ST stuff would be put off by it (and the general arc of the NuTrek stuff). The cast was great though, I wouldn't mind a couple more outings with them but it seems like most if not all of them have moved on. Burkion posted:I will make fun of them to hell and back for it but I'm also not on twitter It's a perfectly cromulent line that is capably sold by Paul Bettany who is "wistful, melancholic British guy" personified. MCU fans going apeshit over it is not really surprising, but you'd think they would've turned the trick by now - it's no different than a lot of the humor in the Ant-Man movies working because Paul Rudd is doing his thing, not because it's high comedy.

Burkion posted:I will make fun of them to hell and back for it but I'm also not on twitter Its really not. I didn't know that was what it was referring too but now I do I gotta call some bullshit. The cool thing about movies and art is that you could be in a terrible place mentally, and sad as poo poo, but you're watching something and it knocks you on your rear end with something that isn't really all that deep, but it breaks through to your heart and helps. If I was dealing with grief right now, that line may have done it. It's decent! It's a nice sentiment. Let people cry over dumb things.

The line ain’t Shakespeare or even a prestige cable show level, but it’s fine, it’s sweet and it works The hyperbole of the tweet is what’s hilarious. This wasn’t a person caught off guard who teared up at a memory of a loss, it’s someone who acted as if professional screenwriters everywhere would have their mind blown at a pretty simple line

ant-man isn’t really particularly funny either. they try for jokes but I can’t really remember any of them except the Pena narration scenes. Paul Rudd being shredded is funny but I don’t know if that’s what they were going for.

Paul Rudd being shredded is funny but I don’t know if that’s what they were going for. There is one joke/gag in Ant-Man that got a pretty good chuckle out of me. It's when Rudd hastily calls the guy trying to order hot food at a Baskin Robbins an idiot. That line delivery is so pure. [edit] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugwrUXXQ8go Yeah, it's still hits me. Heh.

The greatest legacy of the Ant Man films is Gregg Turkington and Tim Heidecker getting bit parts in them solely to fuel a rivalry between them in On Cinema.

But it's just the thing with so many Marvel/Disney fans where they act like these films/shows are the pinnacle of writing/action/whatever.

He said that the hardest thing was trying to cast someone young that would work, but everyone came up and said "Anton Yelchin! Anton Yelchin, You gotta audition this kid,Anton Yelchin" and yeah, kid was everything he was hyped up to be. God what a loving terrible way to die.

well why not posted:if all you watch is CW / Marvel / Disney it probably is the best thing you've ever seen I mean, I think one thing that really trips me out is that the first Iron Man film came out just shy of 13 years ago. I told the story a few months ago about how I was working on a set back in December and one of the PAs would always talk about how great all the Marvel films are (his favorites were Age of Ultron and Civil War). He acted like they were all the pinnacles of the genres they tried emulating. It was fascinating. Then I realized that he was like 22 or something. Meaning that he had been watching MCU films since he was like 10 years old. Suddenly, everything made a lot more sense. Now, these people who are like 35 and giving the same takes - well, I just have no excuse for them.
