The same director (who also did Ninja Scroll, Goku Midnight Eye, Demon City Shinjuku, etc.) did a Highlander anime that's not incredible but it has some cool looking stuff occasionally and is by far the best one besides the original.

I don’t think there’s anyway in hell they do less effects. I’m no expert on doing VFX but their timetable seems completely unworkable even if they destroy a dozen effects companies in the process.
The original Ghostbusters had about 200 VFX shots, which was considered a massive amount at the time.

Afterlife had around 1100, and Feig's Ghostbusters had over 1700, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks that made them better movies.

Don't forget Robo Vampire, which features Z-tier Robocop machine-gunning hopping vampires and a topless ghost lady.

It was sad when the three living cast members showed up in uniform and Dan Aykroyd opened his mouth. Then the ghost of Harold Ramis appeared and I honestly can’t remember how the movie ended after that.

The original movie just had ghost/proton pack effects and matte paintings. Nowadays they use CGI on all kinds of stuff, and it’s not just big action scenes either. I highly doubt the takeaway they got from Afterlife was “less giant action set pieces”. Probably the opposite. So they’re either going to have to delay it, or it’ll be a mess.

I wouldn’t put it past them to get a dumb idea like trying to de-age the kids too since they’re like 4 years older now than when it was shot.

I didn’t mind the movie outside of overdoing the poo poo out of fanservice. Probably the worst example of that sort of thing I’ve seen. If they wanted original cast members involved they should have showed up sooner rather than tack on what felt like 20 minutes of forced nostalgia bait at the end.

Aww cmon now, you're telling me you don't enjoy seeing Dracula run around the swinging early 70's England?!

Ok I admit most of the later Hammer Dracula films are not good, but at least they're amusing. "Satanic Rites of Dracula" is straight up bonkers nonsense. https://youtu.be/eMAgmFScQvU

For a good cheap bonkers Dracula movie you could watch Old Dracula aka Vampira. Dracula is very old and wants to revive his wife so he invites a bunch of playboy bunnies to his castle so he can give his wife their blood. Since one of the bunnies is black his wife turns black, so he tries to cure her of her blackness. I'm not making this up. Anyway if you want to hear Dracula say "black is beautiful" and also see David Niven in blackface this is the movie for you.

The part where all of Johnny Alucard's poo poo talking about being the chosen one because he's responsible for resurrecting Dracula culminating in Christopher Lee getting in his face to be like "IT WAS MY WILL." and then putting out his ring for Johnny Alucard to kiss is like a top moment in cinema.


Also the part towards the end where the entire movie is building up how Peter Cushing knows what's up but is old and isn't like a full time vampire killing person like some of his ancestors to build up tension and suspense when it gets to the point where he has to confront the younger more powerful and now vampiric Johnny Alucard, but then when it happens Cushing just completely brutally turbo murders him in his own home in like two minutes loving rules.

Basically that movie should suck and sort of kind of does but the tryhard pitifulness of the Johnny Alucard character, the groovy early 70s outfits of the younger cast members, and the brief bits where Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are on screen make it rule.

It could do good things for storyboarding, but whole movies? gently caress off back to the focus groups, Russo.

Robot Style

I don't think it would help storyboarding either. Previs for every big movie is already all but monopolized by The Third Floor - implementing a system where it's actually impossible to come up with new images rather than just having the same artists working on all of them would make these movies more creatively bankrupt than they already are.

I'm not going to bother posting it because I hate when people post Chat GPT poo poo, but I told the bot to generate a three act plot for a Marvel movie starring Nova with Thor as a guest star, and the Russos might be out of a job soon.

It ends at the second act then inexplicably continues for another 45 minutes--just like the real thing.

EDIT: You asked for it.

quote:

Act 1:
Richard Rider is a young man living in a world where superheroes are common. However, he's never felt like he fit in with the other heroes. When his father, a scientist, dies in an accident, Richard discovers a mysterious alien artifact that he believes is connected to his father's death. Richard sets out to investigate the artifact, but he soon finds himself in over his head. He's attacked by a powerful alien race, the Kree, who are searching for the artifact. Just as Richard is about to be defeated, Thor appears and saves him. Thor explains that he's been searching for the artifact for years and that it's incredibly dangerous. He agrees to help Richard find out what happened to his father.

Act 2:
Richard and Thor travel to the Kree homeworld, Hala, where they discover that the Kree are planning to use the artifact to create a powerful weapon. They learn that the artifact is a Nova Corps helmet, a device that grants its wearer immense power. The Kree want to use the helmet to conquer the universe, and they've already captured several other Nova Corps members. Richard and Thor decide to rescue the captured members and stop the Kree's plan. They break into the Kree's stronghold and engage in a fierce battle. Richard dons the Nova Corps helmet and discovers that he has incredible powers. Together with Thor, they defeat the Kree and rescue the captured Nova Corps members.

Act 3:
With the Kree defeated, Richard is left with a difficult decision. Should he keep the Nova Corps helmet and become a superhero or return it to the Nova Corps and live a normal life? Thor advises Richard that with great power comes great responsibility, and he must decide what kind of hero he wants to be. Richard ultimately decides to become the next Nova Corps member and joins the ranks of the galaxy's greatest protectors. The movie ends with Richard flying off into space with Thor, ready for their next adventure.

Add in a joke along the lines of, "Wait, your name is really Dick Rider?" and you're home by 3.

To be fair, I think it's just Joe. He's also the one who feels the need to have a cameo in each of their movies - particularly the one where the only way to respectfully depict the MCU's first gay character was for him, a straight man, to play him.
