The wife and I watched Babylon last night to welcome in the new year. We both ended up liking it a lot. Last year (well, 2022 now I guess) I remember conflating Babylon and Amsterdam a lot in my mind and Babylon was so much better. I do understand why a lot of people hated it, though. A three hour movie that starts with an elephant making GBS threads on the camera is probably a hard sell today. Also a movie with so much sex in today's ultra-puritanical climate. But it's a really a shame that Barbie, and not Babylon, is going to be remembered as the example of how Magot Robbie has the charismatic power to be a leading star.

Had Babylon come out in 2014 in the wake of The Great Gatsby and Wolf of Wall Street it probably would have done quite well with audiences

Was that Hunger Games prequel that came out last year any good? I (re)watched the Jennifer Lawrence ones over the holidays, and concluded I really like them. There's a lot of serious ideas interwoven with the Battle Royale style plot and Twilight-esque love triangle.

I liked it more than what I've seen of the other series (so just the first one), but it's not high art and doesn't transcend what it's doing. It also, unfortunately, doesn't have its best material in its third act. I had fun tho.

Maybe something about the fall of franchise tentpoles or the end of comic book movies? Because those at least feel like they’re on their way out the door or drastically diminished from what they were.

I'm mad at myself for looking forward to, like, 4 of those. We should make a betting pool for their Rotten Tomatoes audience and critics scores.

I'd like very much to make the John Wick Extended Universe a human being and beat the poo poo out of it in an okay but ultimately kind of forgettable neon soaked fight If that can't be done I'd just like to physically assault that Borderlands movie. Stay frosty Eli Roth.

That chart is a bit weird, yeah. As far as I can tell, Night Swim, Argylle, IF, and Borderlands are not sequels or spinoffs of a big brand in movies. Borderlands I can sort of see, I guess.

Night Swim is the latest movie in the James Wan Horrorverse. If is by CIA John and is about what if imaginary friends were real. It doesn't appear to be based on anything from what I can tell.

The person that made that probably thought Argylle was a Kingsman movie since they sure aren't trying to make that clear in the ads. duz fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jan 2, 2024 |

And it's just Dune, Gladiator 2, and Furiosa for me I guess...Beetlejuice 2 and Joker 2 interest me but also terrify me and not in a good way. I trust Ridley Scott to at least make an okay film, I can't say that about Tim Burton or loving Todd Phillips

duz posted:Night Swim is the latest movie in the James Wan Horrorverse. Do all of those movies fall under the same universe? This apparently was a short film that they're more or less remaking. I haven't watched a horror film in over a decade. Reading up on James Wan did bring up a few interesting tidbits from Wiki: Going down the Wiki Hole posted:-In October 2023, Disney Branded Television announced a Gargoyles live-action reboot with Wan and Michael Clear, joining the executive producing ranks. Was the animated Usagi Yojimbo from him any good?

Oh, God. We didn't need an Evil Winnie the Pooh movie and we don't need an Evil Mr. Rogers movie either. Can they even do that? When your dead does your likeness just become public domain?

I thought Bad Boys 4 already came out. Same with Inside Out 2 but apparently I'm thinking of the movie where a fireball tries to gently caress a bucket of water.
