I know the 2011 Thing has seen some minor reevaluation, from people trying to look at it without the baggage of the practical effects being buried and living in the shadow of a superior film. like there's definitely been some "well, I liked it  "s thrown out therebut, even as a big practical effects fan... like, I never got around to seeing Harbinger Down, either, because I heard it stank. practical effects are cool, but they're not more important than the movie being good the main thing that made me not want to see 2011 was somebody told me it had a "10 little indians" structure, meaning a cast of characters getting killed off one by one like in a slasher movie, and that's... kind of exactly what the Carpenter film doesn't do? that's one of the things that's so great about it. it could have done that, but instead it has a much more unconventional structure that deliberately leaves the viewer without perfect knowledge. there's not a one monster sneaking around and picking people off thing, or even a clear web of infection from person to person. sometimes a guy disappears and, nobody noticed it when it happened, and now they just don't know where that guy is or what happened to him, so they have to go looking for him. I'm pretty sure we never find out what happens to Nauls. writing a Thing prequel like it's Alien... I dunno, it just sounds like some pretty basic bitch thinking

henkman posted:Meanwhile rob bottin and carpenter figured that poo poo out 40 years ago To be fair how many practical effect movie workshops exist today compared to in the 80's? Meanwhile it seems like there are so many CGI sweatshops in the world that they are fighting over contracts to the point where they are willing to go bankrupt just to be the lowest bidder on projects.

Savini has his "school" in Pittsburgh, but yeah it's a shame watching movies like The Thing and The Howling and knowing where effects were going to end up. The Terrifier series has steam because there is a decent amount of people that can still appreciate practical gore and monster effects

Light Gun Man posted:i think the recent/current American Godzilla movies state that nukes were first developed as an attempt to fight Godzilla. Kind of a weird take but I guess a fun idea. No. Castle Bravo was secretly setup to lure and then kill Godzilla rather than just a test, which of course didn't work. No one had any idea about Godzilla until after the war. American Godzilla movies/shows aren't very good and there's plenty of other, accurate things to criticize them for.

Spacey doing his absolute best to make sure people keep spreading the rumor that he had all his accusers killed. See folks, meth addition doesn't always look like fallen out teeth and skin scratched raw. Sometimes it looks like people who have completely burned out their brain's ability to have any sense of morality and thinking it's a good idea to build up a public image as some kind of killer.

this tweet reply starts off as funny but it gets downright horrifying when you realize that someone, somewhere, in real time in this actual plane of existence will get paid actual currency to write a Hungry Hippos movie with that exact premise  https://twitter.com/theworstfr/status/1750185480984113637?t=Orks42cPHTPn0q4qhQ3xiA&s=19

We should just kick out all the other women and only recognize the ones that worked on the high budget toy commercial. gently caress what’s her face from that one moon flower movie. Sounds masculine as gently caress, get that poo poo outta here, we can’t fail Mattel now!

kevin spacey's handler is this dude who had a one hit wonder in 2000 ("when you look at her and she looks at me / she's got me thinking about her constantly" that one) and spent the next couple decades trying out other ventures and not finding much success. he was seen on the show "american inventor" in 2006 pitching his invention, a bowl on top of another bowl he struck gold when his talent management company picked up spacey about a year before the allegations hit, and he's stuck by him ever since. remember the "wait, who the gently caress would help him film this?" confusion after the initial christmas video? it was this guy. he can also be seen being the only person standing by spacey at his acquittal everything spacey has done post-allegations makes a lot more sense to me when viewed through the lens of former rock star/failed bowl manufacturer evan lowenstein desperately trying to shore up his second taste of fluke success Cubone fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jan 25, 2024 |

I was trying to find the bowl in another bowl so I googled it and found this article where a guy complains about how stupid the bowl is and how the judges only liked his idea because he's already successful and famous and at the bottom of that article, several years later, evan had to defend his honor  Evan posted:Evan Lowenstein's idea

So I just assume its only for and about people who abuse other people. I assume it's an FBI honeypot thing or something.

Getting real tired of the third movie in a series being a nostalgia wank of the first movie while pretending the second movie doesnt exist. Anyway, Wonka suffers from the Being Very British syndrome. The new music just dont land like the classics and the classic songs feel tacked on, giving everything a real hokey feeling, like its a movie adaptation of a broadway adaptation. I hated everything about the oompa loompah, and especially hated how Wonka has a magical box that makes enchanted candies for him. Wonka himself is charming enough but lacks any personality beyond "im the most perfect and pure hearted person ever". Also im pretty sure they implied he invented roofies.

IDK if they’re still living together or not. There’s a good Todd In the Shadows one-hit-wonders video (I know, I named another YouTuber) about the Lowensteins. Two Jewish dudes who scored a bubblegum pop hit and spent the next decade and change trying to strike it big making Christian/Christian-adjacent music.

You're wrong on almost all of this but that's ok. edit: The opening song was good but I do think the other new songs were weak. I thought their use of Pure Imagination at the end was done well and felt earned. Hugh Grant was great as the Oompah Oompah. The fart cut to a flashback was hilarious. I enjoyed the weird machines and mechanical stuff Wonka used to make the machines. I'm always down for some weird Rube Goldberg type stuff.
