I still don't get the whole Zack Snyder thing, but everything about pop culture confuses me now.

I've learned that whenever I'm confused about pop culture, it's because I'm assuming it's more complicated than it sounds.

Every action scene looks so lovely lol, and they all look so similar as robots you cant even tell who is who half the time. Complete joke of a movie, bay is a total hack

i remember in the like third movie? there's a scene where the bad guys have some of the good guy robots on their knees and one of them just gets executed with a shot to the back of the head and you watch his robot skull fly apart in slow mo with bits of metal and fluid flying in all directions and i remember thinking that it was one of the most gratuitously violent things i'd ever seen in a mainstream movie but it was okay because it was a robot. similar vibes to short circuit 2 where those dudes cut johnny 5 apart with saws and you see them carrying off his limbs

i went to see dune on imax last night before it got bumped by eternals — the last night it was showing on imax anywhere near me. and i get there and the there's a long line to get in and then a theater employee yells out that the imax was double booked with a *private screening* of eternals and dune would be on a regular screen and eternals would get imax (but that they'd give dune goers free tickets)........ lmao just gotta laugh i guess

Bumblebee (which Bay only produced) actually looked good and had easy-to-follow action, so hopefully whatever movies follow will adhere more closely to that style.

is Taika gonna play John Difool

the announcement trailer is literally advertising the Incal as a Dune spinoff and puts Jodorsky's stamp of approval in front

quote:

Humanoids’ producing partner, Primer—led by David Jourdan—acquired a stake in the publishing house in 2019, and brought in a multi-million-dollar development fund to partner on a slate. This fund has helped jumpstart the company’s production efforts, as it look to draw on a catalogue of IP by artists and writers including John Cassaday, Milo Manara, Mark Waid and Robert Silverberg, among others.

Humanoids will announce additional partnerships, pertaining to The Incal‘s distribution and release, at a later date. Waititi and Jodorowsky tease the film in the video above.

Waititi is represented by CAA and Manage-ment; Clement by UTA and Yorn, Barnes, Levine; Warren by WME and Manage-ment.
