indigi posted:Natalie Portman sucked poo poo, looked awful as a blond, had zero chemistry with Hemsworth, and they should have made it about someone else like big titty lady from the first two movies ive been fascinated at how this movie was originally promoted as being like what happened in the comics when some chick turned into thor and did some badass feminist quips but like everything ive heard about the movie since then makes it sound like everyone involved realized this was a terrible idea and just desperately threw any other random crap they could think of into the story to keep from actually having to deliver on that concept

I’m curious about Waititi playing at auteur and how that manifests in the film, because I find it weird and off-putting in interviews, but maybe Disney reined him in too much for any problems with the movie to really be his fault.

I liked it. Wasn’t as good as Ragnorak but had jokes, spectacle, and a relatively interesting villain munching all the scenery. A fun, pretty, dumb, popcorn movie. I don’t know what people were expecting, but it’s not really fair that this got the weight of the overdue Marvel backlash, it’s the best one in some time - and I literally have a child with the first name Raimi.

Just watched two episodes of Mythic Quest, and parts of it rang super true to my experiences at an actual game company but others made no sense, like, multiple people would have been fired and sued already, what people's jobs actually are is kind of wishy-washy, and game QA is WAY more soul-crushing than they portray it as Still seems ok so far, and I appreciate that it appears to have been made by people who actually play video games unlike a lot of video-game-related TV Slight lol that the only two characters that seem like references to specific real people are based on RA Salvatore and Pewdiepie

Remulak posted:Too familiar to me just from tech firms. I watched a season before I realized that was the Tiny Tina voice actor. Also it’s cool that Charlie Day is a credited writer and never appears. Rob McElhenney kind of made fun of him for this on the Always Sunny podcast. Apparently Charlie doesn't really do anything for the show at all and is content getting credit for it anyway.

That reminded me of something “The incredible success of Abie’s Irish Rose caused incredible consternation among those who disliked it. Most famously, Robert Benchley, who wrote one-sentence descriptions for the theatre listings in Life magazine, waged an on-going war with the play. A sample of his work shows a variety of critical strategies: hostility, sarcasm, condescension, resignation, and avoidance through surreal non-sequitur: • Denounced continuously as cheap by this department since last May, but apparently unconscious of the fact. • All right if you never went beyond the fourth grade. • People laugh at this every night, which explains why a democracy can never be a success. • A-ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, well, all right. • We were only fooling all the time. It’s a great show. • Showing that the Jews and the Irish crack equally old jokes. • Come on, now! A joke’s a joke. • The Phoenicians were among the early settlers of Britain. • Closing soon (Only fooling). • We give up.

I liked Rob McElhenney's character a lot because they seemed to be setting him up as a douchebag character who is always wrong but I unironically took his side immediately in the first conflict the show had The head of engineering should know better than to add a new game mechanic without asking anyone, and if it's boring nobody will buy it. She came off more like an entry-level dev (and appears to be the appropriate age for that too lol, she should be like 15 years older)

Kevin smith hasn’t personally made anything good or funny in years, if ever, but I like that he seems to have a lot of respect for true independent filmmakers and is willing to throw money into losing projects just to give little guys a leg up. It’s actually kind of sad how few mainstream auteurs are willing to produce or distribute actual small films imo.

I always got the impression that he’s always scraping every dollar and resource he can into doing what he loves with people he likes. I was asked to work on Clerks 3 and it fell through for me because their start dates kept getting pushed back by weeks. Shame about the scripts though.

i meant more in the artistic sense its kind of nuts to think that woody allen romcoms used to be regular oscar contenders and now the whole genre is just treated like mud that needs to be scraped off shoes and washed off in the gutter like what was the last romance movie to even get good press i can only think of crazy rich asians youre way more likely to get weirdly cynical stuff like lala land where the moral is that love is dumb and you should chase outrageously implausible bootstraps fantasies instead
