couldn't sleep last night so I rewatched Best of the Worst: LA Wars, Unmasking the Idol, and Robowoman and between "people turned into moist-rear end cakes" and "what if... each ninja's style... is bred to theve a different ore" it's safe to say that Drunk Tim let out some certifiable bangers in his day also lol at Robowoman being set in the dystopian nightmare future of 2024 A.D.

X JAKK posted:Im sorry Desolation of Smaug permanently crippled the New Zealand film industry and you take your frustrations out by munching goofy pills and making internet strangers feel bad about themselves, ill try to be a better friend to you Kingo. It still never fails to make me chuckle that the NZ government hosed over their actors' union in the hopes of becoming the permanent home of Hobbit-related poo poo, only for Amazon to go "we're going to film our new LotR series in the UK" instead

Watched that movie Saltburn. Good performances and a solid concept, but it felt really flabby, like, almost every dramatic or “cool” scene needed some pruning because they all went on too long. The entire final bit, where Oliver reveals how he orchestrated all the bad poo poo that happened felt like it was left over from another script where it wasn’t patently obvious he was Steerpiking the family from the moment he arrived at Saltburn, and should have gone away entirely. It’s worth a watch though, and is in my top twenty films where someone sucks cummy water from a tub drain!

poisonpill posted:What are the other 19 I don’t have another 19 yet. The one from Saltburn just inspired me to make a top twenty that I will fill out as I encounter more scenes of that nature. I made it on pasteboard. It’s resting on an easel in my living room. It’s already causing a terrible strain on my marriage.

I really like using the alamo drafthouse app. I think about digital ui's a lot and I feel like it's very well designed. I'm saying this because I just realized why I appreciate it so much: because every ticket website I've used in a browser handles like complete rear end

juggalo baby coffin posted:theres a comic con panel (I think) where reporters are like 'season 1 was such a hit, what are you gonna do with the bigger budget for season 2?' and you just see darabont and everyone on the panel wince bc behind the scenes the budget got massively slashed. TWD ended up being AMCs golden goose despite their best efforts to murder it. I remember following the news about this. The story was that they cut the budget for season 2 by a ton because they were being strong-armed by the guy who made Mad Men in a contract renegotiation for the final seasons. It was either let it go to HBO or pay up.

There's another Quiet Place movie coming out this year. Just turn it into a 80's slasher at this point. I want the monster cracking jokes.Hackers film 1995 posted:for most of my life i thought con air was directed by michael bay. in hindsight its not crazy/stupid enough. but it has the same feel as the rock so you can see how i was confused Simon West has had such a weird career. fuzzyduckbutt posted:Mike secretly switches out Rich's diet coke with regular coke so he can nurse him back from a diabetic coma As dramatized in Phantom Thread (2017) Dir.

I'm not sacrificing my third yacht to fund a zombie soap opera, and anyway one mad men is worth ten thousand zombie soap operas

Many actors still care about awards direly and they can matter somewhat for everybody else's careers. The juxtaposition of this with how openly in shambles they are is itself entertaining

Monkey Fracas posted:I assume all the entertainment industry wank festivals are having a hard time with ratings and nobody in production of em gives a poo poo anymore This is what I see. The entertainment industry has nepotism'd itself into a death spiral married to executive dumbassness that's poisoned the whole thing. Nobody cares, millions of other things to occupy your time with and streaming isn't profitable. I guess we can be charitable and call it a 'contraction'

I count myself among the "the ending ruined it" crowd, but it's still an excellent film in almost every way. And some people are able to reconcile the ending so it's very much YMMV. Worth watching for sure.

Jo Koy is the Filipino version of George Lopez. That's really all you need to know. He's fine in that non offensive racial dad humor type.
