clown shoes posted:The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandolorian killed any interest I had in Star Wars and drat this Bubba Fett show sounds terrible. It's all just fan service. Their Picard show also kept me mostly away from that too. These guys are providing a public service. I like the Mando and Fett shows, but have no desire to ever revisit the movies outside of the OT. If you didn't like Mando, you'll probably not like Fett I do have similar complaints about Fett. I find the Tuskin portion a lot more compelling, and wish the show was just him living among them.

But the Neutrinos from TMNT are in the show now, so maybe that’s up someone’s alley.

The biggest sin is that it’s about Boba Fett and is fuckin boring. Should have just been the Scorpion to Mando’s SubZero and had a palette swapped show with him being badass and bounty hunting before Empire.

I like the new Randy Newman impression/character from the Toy Story episode but was sad to see no mention of Keanu's Brian the Intern in the Matrix one. I kind of phased in and out on both episodes so maybe I just missed Brian. I think that, for the most part, it's harder for them to land jokes on objectively good movies and just abut every truly memorable send up is them tearing apart a total piece of poo poo.

The insane amount of IP poo poo being dumped in your eyeballs for 2/3s of the movie is insufferable. There are actually some good looney tunes gags buried under the morass of WB properties, but nothing can overcome the sheer weight of HEY YOU RECOGNIZE THIS.

I fell asleep twice trying to watch it, it is that bad. What’s even worse is that there are moments that do work! It shows that they CAN they just…won’t! Gotta clown car IPs into a kids movie. I loved the OG space jam. I love a clockwork orange. It doesn’t mean I love them together. In fact I very much like having space between beloved movie from childhood and film where gang rape is a plot point. Ne’er the two should meet. Also why the gently caress did this need to be two hours long, why are films this loving long these days. Unless if it’s a huge epic or art house, it is such a turn off.

Those CG hutts look like absolute dog poo poo and I can't believe they thought that was good enough to go out the door. The stuff with Fett and the Tusken's was interesting but that's over now. As others mentioned, the present day stuff is fuckin boring. I'm 99% sure this originally started out as a movie. The pacing is off. I bet when it's all done, you could trim a lot of this and end up with something around 2.5 hours. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jan 12, 2022 |

I'm not going to defend the Space Jam movie, but weren't the classic Looney Tunes cartoons chock full of borrowed IP and references that were over the heads of kids in the 30s (much less kids watching them decades after)? Like, I didn't know who Peter Lorre or Edward G Robinson were until high school, but I knew their impressions from the cartoons from the time I was six. Knock em for lazy references, but Looney Tunes was already the Ready Player One of its time from back when WB actually had iconic stars and stories

Like, I didn't know who Peter Lorre or Edward G Robinson were until high school, but I knew their impressions from the cartoons from the time I was six. I feel like these are very different things, though. The Looney Tunes of old would make jokes referencing what was popular at the time (and kids like me watching them decades later wouldn't even know the things they were referencing, so the jokes would still have to stand on their own, or at least be sort of silly). The new Space Jam is the most self referential piece of media I've ever seen a studio every put out. On the way to Looney Tunes Land, Lebron takes a quick journey through Harry Potter Land, because WB owns that. Lebron and Bugs go to Metropolis for about 2 minutes, because WB has the rights to DC. Many (many) more examples of this happen. This all happens because the movie tells you Lebron has been sucked into the WB streaming servers. It's making WB into the new Disney, turning the movie into a giant commercial for all of their property. It's a shareholder meeting announcing a new WB streaming service. It's loving insane that they somehow tailored a movie around it. Animaniacs (the 90's version, and the new, surprisingly good version) makes references to things popular that kids and/or adults will get, just like Looney Tunes used to. That's not what the new Space Jam movie does.

Throwing in a spoof or parody of an actor or movie isn't even remotely the same thing or even the same intent as the poo poo RPO and Space Jam 2 do.

RPO and Space Jam 2 do it for nothing more than "HEY I KNOW THAT THING" Even RPO, as horrible as it was, wasn't a long commercial for one studio or person. Spielberg had the presence of mind to almost entirely omit his own IP from RPO to not make the movie seem like a masturbation fantasy, which he said in interviews. (He included the Back to the Future Delorean, even though he produced those movies, because he felt that car was too central to the book to omit, but he cut everything else that made reference to one of his own movies.) The new Space Jam went hard the other direction.

That part was fine but that vision and long DIY Gaffe Stick scene that went on until the point of parody and then dancing and it smacks of "savior of these noble savages" and "Boba Fett: he ain't so bad!" is really weird. So yeah, i'm probably jumping off the show,, or at least skipping Dances with Banthas parts.

Listening to The Matrix WLM currently and they've completely slid into "old man yells at cloud" territory. Cabin preferring Reloaded Burly Brawl fights scenes to modern "Marvel" scenes is ridiculous. Then making GBS threads on the Animatrix. Get the gently caress outta here

he ain't wrong. except maybe about the animatrix, i haven't seen it. but i do vividly remember the matrix sequel's action scenes better than the entire mcu. the army of agent smith's looked like poo poo, but it was still more memorable and ambitious than "CGI men take turns punching each other through buildings, makes a quip" x 28. there's a reason people still talk about it and not, uh, that scene where peter parker calls a drone strike on his classmates.

The Burly Brawl always looked like poo poo. I remember that being my main takeaway when I saw Reloaded in the theater. That the tech wasn’t quiiiite there yet, making them look like animated rubber band men often. And the fight was pointless, as Neo just fucks off at one point when he gets bored. So it looked bad, and was a waste of time. I’ve come around A LOT on the Matrix sequels over the years. But the Burly Brawl has always been garbage.

The part in the space jam episode where cabin says he like RPO better than the new space jam sealed it for me that I will never watch this movie. I loathe RPO. It's the most self indulgent insert fantasy I've ever seen and the fellating of popular culture from one very specific era is nauseating. I can't imagine another movie being worse than that and Chris' comments to that fact is startling.
