They did not like the results, so they pivoted to a creepy CGI-baby.

I like watching horses in westerns because they're not always on board with the movie.

Working with kids is pretty fun. I’ve only had like two little weird moments but other than that I’ve been impressed. One kid tried to put a hex on the trick r treat fan film set. I didn’t know if it was a good or bad one and he didn’t really say lol. But it worked out so thanks lol

The weird thing about the Power Rangers reboot, to me, was just that the trailer was scored with this slow moody cover of... Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-C4qqsgs8w Like, okay sometimes you do this because a song's lyrics have something to do with the movie but you don't like the tempo so you either use an acoustic cover (as Donnie Darko did, hence dooming us all) or have some artist make one. But like why this song. What does this have to do with your Power Rangers reboot.

Just finished closing the financing for Rebecca Lenkiewicz’s Hot Milk. More than 3 weeks after star of shoot. Good-natured transaction but “difficult difficult lemon difficult”.

Watching Flight of the Phoenix. I thought they were gonna fix the plane, not try to build a smaller plane out of it. That’s an insanely stupid plan, there’s no way it’ll work.

I saw that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 was now streaming on Disney+ and planned on watching it tonight since I skip all those movies in theater, but then I learned that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was on Max; a movie I probably haven't watched since 1995 on VHS and I was 10. So I decided to watch it instead. Honestly, it's everything I remembered and way better. Transfer looks nice, some surprisingly nice cinematography sprinkled around, a lot of 80's/90's tech film grain, the banging soundtrack. Honestly think I came out on top with that decision.

I'm watching Star Trek 2009 and in the scene where they're scrambling all the cadets to the front Uhura gets mad at her teacher, Spock because she didn't get the one she wanted and she says "did I not, on multiple occasions demonstrate exceptional aural sensitivty" which seems like a pun JJ Abram's would do in 2009

But if you've seen the remake I have a question. In the original by like the halfway mark everybody has blisters all over their face. It's gross but because of the technology of the time they do look a bit fake. Does the remake use our modern technology to make them look super gross?

Bogus Adventure posted:TMNT '95 owns. All of those movies are pretty good, even the cheesy sequels There weren't any ninja turtle movies in '95, but yes the 1990 one is great. The 1991 sequel has its charm but it's notably a step down and the third one from 1993 was so bad it took them 14 years to try to revisit the franchise.

Is there a thread for talking about movies that aren't "genre"? Clockwatchers, Lantana, etc. I just saw The Passenger, which was okay to good and sort of floated in that direction as a film, but then I saw Giant Little Ones and it absolutely blew me away and given me cravings for that kind of story. And I guess it's just a genre of film that I really enjoy and like to watch more / talk more about. The only other examples of this kind of thing I can think of are obscure Canadian and Australian indie dramas tbh, and that Alan Ball film that's named after a slur. American Beauty too, maybe. House of Sand And Fog? And I know there's got to be more. But it's a hard one to sort of look for because it's a genre defined by what it's not and I'm not that educated about it tbh

I always think of American Beauty as a melodrama, but a particularly self-centered one.
