What killed batman and robin was seeing batman forever's success and saying "ok, let's have even more of that" It's a miscalculation and example of learning the wrong lesson. The same sort of thing happened with batman returns.

Looks like there were actually 7 of those movies in total. More than I thought. Looking at the list of them I'm pretty sure that The Pink Panther Strikes again from 1976 was my favorite. I think that's the one that has the laser set to destroy London and all the assassins trying to kill inspector Clouseau. Randarkman fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Mar 17, 2022 |

Pink Panther films aren’t as fully loaded with jokes as modern viewers might expect but they still have some great stuff, eg “does your dog bite?”

I didn't even think about them just making an animated movie but it would probably be the safest thing to do. Market it to kids and sell a million plushies. I've never seen Trail of the Pink Panther because everything about it sounds awful.

I mean, the Panther itself was only ever in the movies as part of the James Bond spoof intro sequences far as I remember. Other than that it was a diamond or jewel in the first movie IIRC.

PostNouveau posted:Do they at least play the awesome song during the boring human detective parts? Yeah it's typically used alot in the movies IIRC. The detective parts aren't boring though, it's Peter Sellers being a ridiculously bumbling French detective. It's slapstick, but very effective slapstick, and the real heart of the movies, though he wasn't really intended to be the main character of the movies, he was a side character in the first one, but was really popular so they focused on him for the rest of the movies for the most part.

Bust Rodd posted:Comedy is just a part of adventure movies. No one thinks of Indiana Jones as comedies, they are action movies, but Indy goes fully slapstick multiple times. The one dude getting blendered by the airplane is straight out of a Leslie Nielsen flick. Rewatching the original Star Wars trilogy reminded me of how many genuinely funny comedic moments their were. Luke's whining is really loving hilarious to me

I enjoy how he is such a fuckup who succeeds accidentally it drove his superior insane and he tries to kill Clouseau repeatedly in later movies.

I remember when Last Crusade established how Indy got his whip, his hat and his fear of snakes all in one day and it was awesome and funny. Then Star Wars did it, over and over and over and it was bad.

I haven't seen any news on The Whale with Brendan Fraser and Darren Aronofsky lately. I'd watch that. Both I think deserve another go (DA made some bangers but got practically shunned after mother!)

I think part of the problem was that Mother! was supposed to be the comeback film after Noah. The critics were ready to embrace Aronofsky, but then the movie was so weird that it ended up bringing more backlash.

It's weird that the 90s thing of internet/cable/telephone companies merging with content/media companies took two to three decades to manifest, e.g. the viacom acquisition of paramount or time warner and aol. makes how the industry missed netflix kind of strange
