I have no idea what the line is these days for violence and getting an R but I feel like the hand getting cut off and the same guy getting shot in the head and then bleeding out would do it. The camera lingers for a bit on the sword-head shot, too. Stack that onto the kills by Man-Thing and it's probably a soft R. It's tricky because most R horror movies will also have some combo of boobs and swearing. The Ring has neither, was PG-13, but also less gory? Whereas Orphan was R and I don't recall much in that either.

I enjoyed WBN but let’s not get over-enthusiastic. It was PG-13 violence, with CGI blood in black and white. Impressive for Marvel, but not some sickening new level of gore lol

Orphan was R because a "large* part of the movie assumes it's a little girl trying to gently caress a married man or someshit

What seems more important than anything for ratings now is who is distributing the movie that is being rated.

TV and movies are different obviously, but since then you can say poo poo and gently caress on TV now so that probably influences the movies anyway.

The rating system as is is definitely off. I have a 10 year old and there's R rated stuff I'd have no problem watching with him, and PG stuff that's kind of iffy. A more comprehensive system is always better, I'd rather see individual rankings on why a movie is rated as is instead of just a letter.

In a shocking twist that nobody saw coming, T.J. Miller confirmed today that he was not asked back for Deadpool 3 and his character is being written out. He said that Marvel is giving Reynolds full control over the movie and that Reynolds is a jealous dick, so he excluded him. quote:“I got along with him a lot better on the first ‘Deadpool’ because he wasn’t a huge, huge movie star,” Miller said. Also, he didn't even want to come back anyway: quote:“Would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again,” Miller said.

My favorite part of it is that it makes it seem like his character needs to be written out instead of like just not ever being mentioned again and most people would never even notice. "Deadpool big timed me in the movies titled Deadpool and told me my throwaway comedy relief character who doesn't really factor into anything wasn't important. And that's why I CHOOSE to not be in a major blockbuster as part of the billions making monolith. Definitely not that I'm a rapist. Or bigot. Or created a bomb scare."

Miller isn't the first to say Reynolds is a diva with Deadpool. He also pushed out the director of the first movie during production for 2. But Miller sucks so it's fine. (Although didn't it turn out he has like some brain injury?)

Miller is going to be in the next Ben Shapiro movie where he plays a comedian who is arrested for keeping it too real and Gina Carino has to bust him out and he joins a secret underground of other entertainers who just want to be able to say Racial Slurs without being silenced by the woke mob.

Aphrodite posted:They're both bad movies. Like quality is a subjective thing. That being said my wife and I watched the original Deadpool twice in the cinema and another 2/3? times at home. When Deadpool 2 came out we saw it at least twice in the cinema (maybe a third time with my sister-in-law.) Then the Directors cut on Blu Ray. Every time we have watched it, she has cried at the Heaven sequence where they play the striped down cover of A-Ha's "Take on Me"*. At some point we are going to have to explain to our child why we like these movies so much and why mummy and daddy have watched those movies so many times. But that is a problem for the future. Point is, in our house Deadpool and Deadpool 2 are considered good movies. We only saw Terminator: Dark Fate once in the cinema, and I get annoyed about that film every time I think about it. In fact it made my wife want to watch Terminator: Salvation afterwards, and I honestly think I enjoyed watching that film more than I did Dark Fate. * = The exception being in the Directors Cut. Where they play a slowed down version of Celine Dion's "Out of Ashes" for that sequence. Gnome de plume posted:different miller Oh I know. My post was in response to how Ryan Reynolds "pushed" out the director of Deadpool 1, who was Tim Miller. Tim Miller went on to direct Terminator: Dark Fate. As far as I am aware, he is no relation to TJ Miller. The Question IRL fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Oct 10, 2022 |

Why are people disliking T3 more than any of the sequels past it? Is it about "Talk to the hand" and inflatable Terminatrix boobies or is there something more to it? I haven't seen T3 since around the time it came out, so I'm rusty on most of it.

I haven't seen T3 since around the time it came out, so I'm rusty on most of it. T3 comes after 2. 1 is a great film, 2 is a great film, 3 is a loving joke. And it began a stream of poo poo movies, without the slightest bit of gold. You need the tv show for a good Terminator project, but that got cancelled so even that's a wash. The series to date has 2 good movies, one good tv show, and 4 bad movies. And it starts with 3. 2 is "Maybe you can change your fate", 3 is "Nah lol". Culminating in Dark Fate which is just "Even if you literally kill all the people involved we'll just do the same story with different people, nothing is stopping this from happening.". It's about a twenty year journey of just erasing anything interesting or meaningful in the first two films in the search for more money, and failing at even making something interesting along the way.

I feel like the problem with the Terminator sequels is that they can be defined as "John Connor dies or is intended to die" in every single one and also "Arnold comes back again." Terminator 3 had him be murdered by the Arnold, Terminator Salvation had him almost die (and was intended to die and be replaced), Terminator Genesys had him get turned into a Skynet or whatever the gently caress happened there, and Terminator Dark Fate decided that "Let's pull a Newt from Alien 3" was the best way to endear fans who were drawn in by the "let's pretend everything after T2 didn't happen." Nobody has any idea for the Terminator franchise that isn't "John Connor dies and isn't that WILD?"

I like the ending to T3. I think Terminator’s (the series) biggest sin is its inconsistency on fate. Comes with the territory of having so many installments by so many people across three decades, but it’s at its best when it’s about doing your best even when the world is coming down around you, not actually preventing poo poo from going sideways.

I definitely think Salvation is a lot better if they stuck with the original ending where Connor dies but is replaced by the biological Terminator who takes his place, so that ultimately the 'savor of humanity' is a machine masquerading as a person

I didn't see it when I was young though so there's no nostalgia for me.

When Dark Fate came out I remember there was a lot of talk about how "finally they've got one of these right". When it flopped, I read a few takes about how what a shame it was as it was unduly punished for the crimes of previous Terminator sequels. When I finally got round to watching it though it felt every bit as bland as the other non-Cameron sequels. There's a fun idea in the middle about a Terminator living life as a normal human, but they soon brush that aside. The whole film should have been that. Would have been cheaper too.

tell me you have sociopathic tendencies without telling me you have sociopathic tendencies https://twitter.com/mainebelawless/status/1577906714816430081?t=Qz2AbQNK-zyn5y5TVp81aQ&s=19 im noticing a pattern of people over-exaggerating the qualities of a piece of media they've clearly never consumed before. The original Mask comic (that very first run) was surprisingly everybit as funny as the movie. The only Arc that could be considered "dark" was Toys in the Attic and people did not like it at all originally. Its right up there's with people unironically thinking that the she-hulk comics were "darker" than the show and getting mad at the show in reaction Edit: this is the correct opinion https://twitter.com/Geekgem1/status/1427399397675962370?t=LpkxIw7OGNcBZvqAeI1W_Q&s=19 I feel like if we were to somehow get a Mask reboot it would straight up have to be handled by the The Boys writers, just due to the fact they're able to handle Black Humor well in a way i haven't seen from Screenwriters in awhile BornAPoorBlkChild fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Oct 11, 2022 |
