Playing movies like Wargames and, *shudder*, Monty Python and the Holy Grail as video games is really stupid and reinforces Ernest Cline’s central thesis that the pop culture he likes deserves to be worshipped, but it’s better than how Spielberg turned The Shining into a theme park ride. Kubrick hand-picked you to take on A.I. after he died, and this is how you repay him, Steve?

Recently, I've been trying to fill in personal gaps in the Spielberg oeuvre. Found Bridge of Spies extremely solid. Rylance rules and the movie is fairly compelling if you are interested in early Cold War-era history. The Post is just kind of pointless: The Times broke the Pentagon Papers first so why not make a movie about that? War Horse I had to turn off after 20 minutes. Schindler's List is great and Ralph Fiennes' character is one of the most frightening and compelling villains ever. Still need to check out The Sugarland Express, 1941, Amistad, and Tintin. Figure I can skip Always and BFG.

Would warhorse be better if it was about a war donkey? Movies this year say yes.

Maxwell Lord posted:Wargames and Monty Python and the Holy Grail aren't owned by WBD. My main issue is how they play out. In the book, the main guy has to act like he’s Matthew Broderick in Wargames, moving like he does and saying his lines. Again, it’s dumb and irritating, and it really gives the book an incredibly weird sense of the stakes when, two chapters after he successfully acts out Wargames, his aunt is murdered by the evil corporation blowing up his apartment block. In the movie, though, The Shining becomes a theme park ride. A character gets carried down a hall by the elevator river of blood, and another gets chased into the hedge maze by the naked woman holding an axe, which is followed by a pan-out showing a giant naked woman with an axe standing over the maze. It’s not just dumbly referential, it’s downright stupid.

Time will see if he holds to it, but I think his idea of giving up directing before he's "out of touch" is nonsense.

I don't know if anyone here has shared this, but Amazon Prime is sponsoring an early screening of the D&D movie if anyone here in interested - https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/155643F0-4489-4EA3-A411-5DC2605FD4DC I was able to catch an early screening of the film and really enjoyed it. Helluva lot better than the old D&D movie.

Watching Kung Fu Panda 2 and why the heck does no one other than Shen/the wolves/the soothsayer know about all the pandas being dead? I would think people would notice a dude going around killing off all the pandas and then there not being pandas anymore for a couple decades.

How the gently caress do you spend 130 million on a romcom? Was it shot on location on the moon? https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1635786902652571649?s=20

I think adam sandler’s latter day career has made it clear that, at this point, “rom com” Is largely a genre that exists to allow actors to get paid for taking vacations in scenic locations

Michael Fassbender kept eating the money so she had to keep asking Netflix for more. He says biting into a stack of hundred dollar bills between each take like it's a big hamburger fuels his "actor powers."
