Would Eternals have worked with a lighter tone or is the melodrama just baked too much into the source material?

Eternals should have looked like Guardians 2 and everyone should have been as hammy and Shakespearean as possible.

I mean Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons levels of scenery chewing.

Instead it was grey and melancholy and boring as gently caress.

At the very least the first episode of Murderville is pretty good. Celebrity guest homicide detective Conan O Brien is gonna crack open this magician murder case wide open.

Yeah, I think Chloé Zhao was just too much of a naturalistic filmmaker for Eternals. She creates these amazing, melodic movies that emphasize vast natural landscapes and small, meaningful human interactions. But in Eternals the vast natural landscapes just made these superheroes look small, while the moments of meaningful human interaction still had to be filled with MCU-approved quips that ruined their power.

I don't know who would have been a better choice, though. James Gunn clearly has the formula right, but they wouldn't want The Eternals to be too much like Guardians of the Galaxy (plus, he's clearly put Marvel on the back-burner after the firing). Kenneth Branagh can do scene-chewing shakespearian schlock, but his grasp of the cosmic stuff is limited (as we saw in the first Thor).

Lana Wachowski would have been a slam dunk pick for a proper Eternals movie.

Just tell her "Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons is the vibe" and let her have at it.

The Russo brothers are actually really solid. Just give them a killer script and tell them to e it look like a backlight painting.

Same with the guys who did 21 Jump Street

Ok wait I just remembered they were fired from Star Wars for being too creative lol

i am a doctor. my name is thoss.
Here's tonight's movie lineup!

1. Aleta: Vampire Mistress

I grabbed this because it seems to be a vanity project. It's not quite the ideal black tank-top vanity project trifecta of writer/director/star, but she's an executive producer, a producer, the star and has a story credit! IMDB has the genre listed as
Action Fantasy Horror Musical Thriller. When I bounced through, some bits did look like a music video. Be prepared for total, self-indulgent vanity nonsense! Also gratuitous boobs. I'm hoping for a Diamond Cobra vs the White Fox, but I've got something else lined up if it turns out to be another Witchcraft.

2. SheBorg

It's Australian and the SheBorg actually looks like the one on the poster! That's it. That's pretty much all I know.

3. Automation

A military robot is reprogrammed for manual labour in a commercial warehouse, but some of its memories remain, leaving it with robo-PTSD. Will social bonds with it's human co-workers allow it to come to terms with its past and settle into a comfortable civilian existence, or will it go bonkers and murder the ever loving poo poo out of everybody? Your guess is as good as mine!*

As usual, we'll be starting at 8:00 pm EST, which is approximately 3.5 hours from now.



*Assuming you guessed murder

New Raised by Wolves, I dig it. gently caress it let's just go with the weirdness, they're doing a pretty solid job of worldbuilding with some interesting mysteries and some wild scary poo poo. The planet is kind of terrifying with the acid ocean and giant whirlpools and that's the nicer part.

The intro music is still some of the best I've heard too it gives me dang chills every time.

Also Peacemaker got CRAZY. Surprised there are still 2 episodes left, felt like it was the penultimate one last night. It was directed by Gunn and there were some fantastic sequences. The woods chase especially. "Man, Eagly is hardcore!!"

looks kinda like they took a screenshot of an Underworld movie or similar and photoshopped cyborg stuff in. That wide-open mouth is giving me monster movie vibes

What if tom hooper made cats just to take the heat off of les mis :tinfoil:

It is pretty objectively bad but I feel it's at least sometimes in a funny way, like whenever russell crowe is singing and the stock splat sound effect when he dies

Nah, he got away with Les Mis. Going back to the scene of the crime (musical theatre adaptations) for Cats just caused a lot of people who hadn't thought about it too hard to re-evaluate Les Mis and see how bad it was.

The music is pretty fun with a lot of deep cuts, James Gunn style. I enjoyed the Bang Camaro tune showing up in one ep.

One thing I like most about peace maker is that it doesn’t look like it’s shot in front of a green screen. They go to all these grimy looking locations. It’s well made.
