Shiiiit, 1999 gave us The Matrix, Office Space, Fight Club, The Mummy, The Green Mile, The Sixth Sense, American Pie, The Blair Witch Project, Ravenous, Galaxy Quest, and probably a load more I’m forgetting. One of the best years ever.

Looks like a lot of fun. In case it's not clear and people may just skip over it, this is not a sports documentary, this is a historical series about very large personalities with a hell of a cast.

McKay comes off pretty badly there, he could have just been up front with Ferrell and any hurt feelings would be out of his control. Recastings happen and Ferrell should understand that, but sounds like the way it was done was lovely.

the 90s has absolutely fantastic movies. probably the last gasp of creative expression in film. the good films after that are exceptions, not the rule. not sure what happened to the studios after 9/11 but it makes sense movies have sucked since then, as everything does

Are you sure it's not just that you have more favorite films in the 90s and before because that's when your taste came online and solidified, and that in fact every decade has both great and terrible movies in about the same proportion? Because every decade has both great and terrible movies in about the same proportion. What you want out of a movie may have began somewhat sunsetting in the 90s. If you're really into blockbuster action movies then sure, those no longer match up with my tastes either on the whole. But your statement is utter nonsense otherwise.

ALFbrot posted:username/forum/thread/post combo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDL4DjqI690 Letterkenny is hilarious. Strong recommend if you've never seen it. EDIT: If it wasn't obvious from this clip, the trailer I posted before is a meta joke for fans of the show. The tone of that trailer is the polar opposite of the tone of the actual show. That makes it a bad trailer from a marketing perspective because it is completely off putting if you don't already know it's a joke. confused fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Dec 9, 2021 |

I know approximately gently caress-all about the NBA in the 80s, but everything about this looks hella entertaining. Cackled like an idiot at the quick cut of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar filming Airplane! near the end of the trailer.

I heard Adam McKay talk about this on Chapo Trap House a couple of months ago, and the way he talked about it as a study of the rise of the Modern NBA Team as synechdoche for Eighties America made me think it was a straight documentary. I guess I should have known better, knowing McKay E: I looked it up and it was in July of last year E: Actually it was this from April this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNxvLihSSJU Which was about his eighties NBA podcast concerning  An unrelated documentary podcast which spawned this movie The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Dec 10, 2021 |

I don't think it was him being an rear end in a top hat for the sake of it. It just got bundled up with them splitting their production company and splitting up professionally that just snowballed into him making the decision and casting from the production side of things at the expense of the little friendship that was still there. Ferrell would have been terrible for this, yeah.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-dRBjqAGgI Hahahahahahahahaha. More than half of this is, "Please remember how much you love all that cool Harry Potter poo poo. Don't think about the bad Harry Potter poo poo. Just think about all that cool Harry Potter poo poo that, again, you love. Please. Pretty please." And then a little bit of footage from the new movie at the end. I know this is just to say a full trailer is coming on Monday. But this is clearly a, "Please don't mention J.K. Rowling" effort.

thrawn527 posted:all that cool Harry Potter poo poo Perfect phrasing because as soon as first trailer dropped for the first Fantastic Beasts I realized I didn't give a crap about all "the cool poo poo." I watch these trailers and I just think yep, those sure are wands and griffons and brooms! Being older when I got into the Harry Potter movies it's like I did a speedrun version of the realization about Star Wars that I had in my 20s that I really loved the original trilogy but I didn't actually have to care about every other thing that had a bunch of lightsabers and TIE Fighters in it.

Groovelord Neato posted:Wasn't the second movie notoriously bad. Incredibly bad. Rowling clearly has no idea how to write a script, though somehow that wasn't quite as obvious for the first movie. The second movie had subplots on top of subplots, and all of them were terrible. At one point, when they went back to Newt after, like, 45 minutes of not seeing him, I was surprised, because I forgot these movies were supposed to be about him. It's a movie that thinks we care about the origin story of Voldemort's snake. And that gives the villain the motivation of "stopping WWII". Like, that's what we want him to not do. It's a terrible movie.

I imagine their entire marketing strategy up to this teaser has basically been to tell Rowling to shut the gently caress up and get off of twitter.
