Once when he came back as an angel and once as a Frankenstein monster. I think he's got cosmic powers now? The Thomas Jane and Jon Bernthal Frank Castle are GWOT and/or Iraq War vets, which vibes well with the character these days.

MacheteZombie posted:I feel like I'm one of the select few that will be looking forward to this. I bet it gets no budget and the ocean life feels more like a pool life Yeah, people are underestimating how well-received Waterworld is nowadays. If you hang around the Wasteland Weekenders, it's basically part of the post-apocalyptic canon among them, along with Mad Max films and Fallout, which eventually accumulated in one of the groups buying part of the Deez prop and hauling out there for a few years, until it was destroyed in a wind storm. Also, a lot of people had more exposure to the Universal Studios theme park stunt show (which is still going on). It's had a good 25 years to wash the stink of failure off of it, so I would no doubt see it being continued.

I mean, how do you do that properly? What is the right way to do a live action version of that? And yeah if you're gonna redo Flash Gordon, Waititi is probably the best guy to handle it.

Payndz posted:They reportedly smashed up literally hundreds of cars for that chase, but I was pretty That actually, weirdly, is more impressive to me because I certainly didn't get that impression watching it. Not that I'm going to rewatch it to check this, though. Alhazred posted:It's more a pastiche of what Mel Gibson thinks mesoamerican culture was. Yeah. That's not really significantly different from what I said. I think part of the reason there was such a strong reaction and such a focus on its realism or lack of is that it's still more or less the only serious film set in a world anything like that. By contrast, 2004-2006 had Alexander, Troy and 300 all set in various ages of ancient Greece. None of them are realistic (two of them aren't trying to be) but, since none is the only version of that world you've seen recently, none's lack of realism particularly matters. meanwhile, for the entirety of mesoamerica, it's Apocalypto and about ten minutes of "The Fountain"

when I learned how much of the whole sequence was CG. There are some shots where they filmed live action, then replaced so much of it in the computer - there might be part of an overpass wall or whatever left from the original shot, but 95% of the frame is new - that you wonder why they didn't just do the entire thing digitally. It's the vehicular equivalent of The Thing 2012's "let's shoot puppet monsters, then paint them out and replace them with CG monsters!"

I think a lot of people were trying way too hard to find a racist message in the film by using any kind of historical inaccuracy to prove that.

I think a lot of people were trying way too hard to find a racist message in the film by using any kind of historical inaccuracy to prove that. Oh yeah. It's a film I absolutely understand anyone writing off and not watching. It's just a shame because all of that, despite those reasons being completely valid, it is a really good film. The entry into the city is the best scene of its kind I've seen. We actually start at the outskirts and move all the way through, like it's a real city with actual districts. There's the banality of the slave raid, the way it's just a job. They leave the kids behind because it's too much of a hassle. The old woman is just forgotten. It's so clinical.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Waterworld became such a high-profile disaster people got into it, it seems, like a B-movie. Tbh I always had the impression Waterworld got its reputation as one of the worst movies of all time because the public got so wrapped up on all the insane behind the scenes stories that were coming out (Costner demanding his receding hairline be digitally removed, his insistence in shooting in the actual ocean forcing people to be shuttled ashore every time they need to go to the bathroom, Costner staying in a mansion with personal chef, etc) and all the money being spent that it colored their perception of the film. These days we get that sort of thing out of every major project so it’s a lot more normalized. Hell, Titanic came out less than 2 years later and also got the same treatment in the press and it ended up winning a ton of Oscars.

Disastrous productions getting lauded isn't new even then, given Apocalypse Now, but I suppose the media landscape had changed a lot since then and people would hear about it before the movie comes out rather than after.

True but maybe the fact that so much of it was wrapped up in Costner's ego had something to do with it. Especially since he wasn't technically the one directing (but at least in certain points he de facto was).

I don't get why people, especially on film twitter, are so mad about Clifford. It's a kids film about a big red dog getting involved in escapades, it looks harmless and fun for its intended audience of children. It seems like an odd thing to rail against.

No one's mad. Sarcastic adults are having sarcastic adult fun in various sarcastic adult spaces. None of it should be anywhere in the vicinity of any children for whom this might be a magical experience, unless you think 8 year olds are trawling Film Twitter. It's like saying a Mad Magazine parody ruined a child's experience of ET.

Dan Ackroyd is the only dork big enough that I can believe he actually did whatever optional thing is legally required to put that “written with help from the writers and cast of the movie!” line on the box. Like I can believe he would have given notes about how the containment unit works and how gameplay should be different as a result.
