Vintersorg posted:Yeah, the first 2-3 are classics and super well regarded for the most part. The rest of the series is pretty dreck. Just watch The Kill Count for each one and you'll get all you need out of the series in an afternoon instead of wasting tons more time. I would argue that Halloween 4 is one of the better sequels. It's basically a reboot (maybe the first horror reboot?) 5 is when things really start to go off the walls. I also have a soft spot for H2O. Also thirding (fourthing?) that Kill Count is great. James/Chelsea provide a public service.

Space_Wizard posted:The intent is to fit in enough of a hook in five seconds to prevent you from hitting the skip button when it is presented as an ad prior to the video that you did click on. Which then takes me back to my prior statement: "If you can’t expect these dipshits to sit through a 2, 2.5 minute clip, how do you expect them to sit through a full-length feature film."

Because they are trying to catch people who are not actively looking for their product. The instinct of 99% of people when presented with youtube ads is to hit the skip button as soon as possible - most people don't want to dedicate 5 minutes (x2 ads) before every video they pick to advertisements. That doesn't make them dipshits - you don't owe companies your time to watch their ads when they show them to you unprompted. So then the only time you are guaranteed to have the audience is the ~5 seconds before they are able to hit the skip button to move onto the the thing they DO want to watch. In those 5 seconds you need to make your product attractive enough that they want to watch the whole trailer. You then have 2 minutes ish to convince them to watch your whole film. To be honest I am not seeing how you get from "Don't sit through every ad presented to you" to "lack the attention span to watch a film" to "dipshit"

Yeah those first 5 seconds are for when the video appears as pre-roll ad for another youtube video. *Not* for people that click on a direct link to the trailer knowing what they're watching. Anyway have a second teaser for Apple+'s Foundation adaptation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvOAA1U0li8

It's the first chapter, yeah. Technically it was only written once the short stories were collected, so prelude is more or less accurate. I'm hoping that they anthologize it rather than just stretch it out, but either way there's going to be a lot of invention from the writers. I could see the first season being the first chapter setting up the grander story, the second season being the second chapter with Seldon appearing via hologram, and the third season introducing The Mule and having Seldon's hologram be wrong about everything. I think that'd be a smart way of doing an anthology and loosely sticking to the books without losing the audience. A proper adaptation would be fully anthology with each episode jumping ahead in time, but nobody would watch it.

It was clear she was some sort of monster the moment they had to focus on her "medicine" I dont think I've seen a movie where a vampire mom is trying to protect her kid during a hijacking though, that... that is pretty cool

Plot A being interrupted by a monster of any kind is a twist more movies need to approach. Kinda like Until Dawn (the game) and I feel there’s been a couple of movies that I can’t remember right this moment but it’s always cool when it happens.

kiimo posted:I still don't understand how a monster that can't feel anything somehow equates to super strength I think the idea is that you can't push your muscles past a certain point because your pain response keeps you from essentially breaking yourself when you do something. But of course this doesn't change anything about the overall tensile strength of your muscles. So not feeling pain means that you can exert more effort without feeling the pain that would prevent you from doing so, but of course this runs up to the obvious problem of repeated use of your muscles this way would damage them and render them useless or weaker not make you the hulk or whatever.

Pinbacker surviving and coming aboard was the final manifestation of what the crew had been enduring and building up to. The whole thing begins as they divert from the original mission causing an escalating series of setbacks and the crew begin to die / lose their hope from it. All to find out that the Icarus 1 failure was because of a similar instance of the crew failing to continue the mission. It comes off as a slasher but I see what Boyle was going for when filming Pinbacker. Throughout the movie you have an almost eerie clarity to the sun and it’s force but the whole thing is warped into a blinding blurry mess when going through Pinbacker. It leads to Capa realizing what needs to be done and actually push through to completing the mission and gives us one of the coolest moments in film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clG_1sqOsBs Sunshine is real loving good. Also I will forever love the aesthetic of those South Park Kenny looking spacesuits.

My go to metaphor is “Imagine you’re watching 2001: A Space Odyssey and then two thirds in you’re suddenly watching Jason X” This article puts it better than I can at the moment, but Sunshine is a movie that is very much meant to be viewed as a religious allegory. https://www.popoptiq.com/sunshine-a-parable-on-science-vs-religion-masquerading-as-an-unlikely-thriller/

Zzulu posted:It was clear she was some sort of monster the moment they had to focus on her "medicine" Reminds me of that King short story "Grampa" but with some twists thrown in. Definitely looks like it'll be worth a watch.
