Remember that time when all horror movies would cut five seconds of gore from the theatrical version so they could release "THE UNRATED EDITION" on DVD?

What pop songs do you think will be in live action Zelda? holding out for a hero would work well for a montage of Zelda fighting Ganon for a hundred years.

I got Robocop: Rogue City and I'm pleased to say that stomping around shooting creeps and slimebags feeling utterly invincible while the theme music plays kicks rear end. I thought Terminator: Resistance got a bad rap and I'm not gonna call it a classic or anything but it was better than the like 6/10s it got by a LONG shot, so I'm confident this is gonna be a fun time too. Also I was like "drat whoever is doing this VA work is really nailing Murphy, wonder who it is?" looked it up on IMDB and it's the man himself, Peter Weller. That's a pretty drat cool get by Teyon and just adds to the fun.

Gaius Marius posted:We cannot keep relying on this directors cut bullshit. Directors cuts are for films that got hosed by the studio, Cimino or Leone style, not for self indulgent fucks to get a dry run at their story before they put out the "real" thing. I remember being excited about the extended cut of lord of the rings and these days I just want to watch the theatrical version

This shouldn't be misconstrued as being denigrating towards the man, I respect his work a lot, I simply have zero desire to engage with it or it's spawn ever again.

The problem is that 5 additional seconds of gore or nudity can sometimes determine your box office. A viewer might not even notice but the ratings board will.

BFMEIIROTWK is goated. I guess Dune is the Zoomer version of the Trilogy, kind of odd I guess, you'd think there would be another set of novels to go grand the way they did but it seems we're still stuck in the past.

Volte posted:I have bad news about which newer book series became a hugely successful cultural phenomenon Kristin Stewart and Pattinson are both very good actors with great drive to get good poo poo off the ground using their built in fan base. I'll trade four bad films for a Bong Joon Ho and Eggers joint anytime. Stewart has been less successful but that's just a coincidence, I personally cannot account for the Gulf between Personal Shoppers estimation and it's actual quality.

Gaius Marius posted:Honestly never seen it. Chalamet gives me the "ick" in the parlance of the youth. Love Villeneuve though, 2049 is not only a better movie than Lesser Scott's, it is the quintessential film for understanding what Sci-Fi films could be if they weren't being held down by genre expectations. it's worth your time for the visual design alone, although i think the primary cast is excellent: chalamet hits a good balance and manages to get across "arrogant young man trying to find his place in the world" without feeling like a little poo poo, and ferguson, isaac, and brolin all bring a charismatic presence i liked 2049 quite a bit when i saw it, and it's still deeply funny to me that so much ado was made about jared leto in the prerelease to that film when former pro wrestler dave bautista acts a loving circle and a half around that guy in the opening few minutes

TOOT BOOT posted:The problem is that 5 additional seconds of gore or nudity can sometimes determine your box office. A viewer might not even notice but the ratings board will. My favorite weird ratings story like this is that they tried to keep the serious violence off camera for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original one) to try and secure a PG rating instead of an R. (From before PG-13 existed.) Unfortunately, doing it that way made it so much more unsettling that the first cut of the movie got an X.

I'm playing Alan Wake "remastered" since it came free with Alan Wake 2 which is currently like 26 dollarydoos on egs. I tried playing it a couple of times before, but now I feel compelled to finish it since AW2 looks so dang good. It's very repetitive and the levels are very samey, but occasionally it will hit with some really atmospheric set pieces and use of light and the sound design is real good. Very effective use of music, especially the end of episode thing is superb. Feels like a very ambitious game constrained by budget and having to run on a 360. Really looking forward to seeing this stuff with ray tracing and all the rest in AW2.
