isn't Snyder the one who came up with the idea for Sucker Punch and wrote the screenplay and directed it? it seems like it's already his director's cut

No, they straight up mangled his original ending. I was wrong about the Extended Cut being a Director's Cut, but it's closer than the theatrical version.

watching the HITB about Ghostbusters Afterlife and :hmmyes:ing a lot, one thing Rich said that was interesting to me was the scene of the Ecto-1 driving around looking awesome because it has such a cool iconic design, and here's this "new" movie referencing the old iconic design and picking up and trucking in these iconic images but not creating anything "new" so where is the "new"?

the last film i could think of that really pushed the envelope on culture and captured a lot of iconic imagery and pushed it out into the world to me is The Matrix

i mean MCU and DCU are just spinning the hits from the cold war era, imagery and all, and that has been basically all we've had since the millennia

It's funny that the sequels idea of "Remake the Matrix as he sees fit" is to have Neo use the same two or three powers from the original movie. They ran out of ideas pretty quick.

After the wars we had a lot of "new" stuff because we had this huge population burst and a lot of new stuff.

The ghostbusters car is just a Hurst painted like a fire engine with some tech poo poo on top.

Cyberpunk in blade runner is two art styles Urban city, rain, neon, dark blues, for the on the floor action.

Then big buildings, big screen, industral burning tubes, and Flying cars that look like New York taxi cabs.

All the low having style fruit is picked.
Small rodent + unusual colour= Sonic the hedgehog.

So to make new stiff you have really work at it. Doom metal is harder to make than deathmetal because death metal is sped up thrash.

The most recent new pop style was probably silent Hill. Just make a world that looked likes an American gas station restroom.

And that is just organality. Movie are held back by a poo poo ton of copyrights. And movies are hard to make. A lot of money, time and people.


Worse yet, Americans never invested much into its arts outside of film. Like how the pyramids are preserved, basically younger generations are tasked with the upkeep of old brands.

I think I heard this on the giant bomb cast or comic book club live. But a guest loved this one stormtrooper cosplay that looked like it had been beaten up: blackened and chipped armor.

Because it harked back to the original spirit of statwars which ran counter to 70's sifi films. All the sifi at that around was shiny silver space stuff.

Where as all the tech in starwars was old: A used sifi universe. (Also heavily biblical desert planets.) Everything in that world felt ancient.

But 40k makes starwars look like an iPhone.

My friend liked the prequels because it was doing something different. Sifi starwars space Rome.

Is starwars expandable?
It would be if it was on one big desert planets. Because then creators have to work.

Pod racing was cool.

But it started off too big and the space ship styles are a completely different style that fans don't want?

i actually really didn't like the prequels at the time because the tech seemed so much fancier and shiny than something a couple decades later that it didn't make sense at all. why would tech regress?? later i can more appreciate that it was more an opulent gilded era of space neoliberalism decadent rome and what followed was mostly barbarians fighting with scraps

that seems cool though the color palate isnt my thing. lotta cool scifi artists have died recently like hr giger, havent seen much in the way of modern people taking up like vein of weird techno-human or industrio-scifi art

no way home has definitely created a sense of security in the industry that nostalgia can be mined indefinitely but i really think that movies going to be peak nostalgia because reusing the assets of the five preexisting spider man movies is like the very definition of a one time gimmick

One movie that really nailed the dilapidated future look is the original Solaris by Tarkovsky. It helps if you've read the book to understand what the gently caress is going on but the style is excellent. I think this is also why Alien 1-3 are great. They really have that feeling of a lived in universe
