Like what was Verhoven trying to do with Showgirls It's baffling which means he probably didn't succeed but fun fun movie regardless

Monkey Fracas posted:Like what was Verhoven trying to do with Showgirls I was just watching some interview with Neil Patrick Harris, possibly Hot Ones, and he mentioned how Verhoeven had no direction for comedy. NPH was asking what kind of humor to add to a scene and Verhoeven was just "I don't understand your American humor, just do what you think is funny." So Verhoeven was probably great at the very tiny niche he was king, but otherwise he might not be the same level of genius.

I think the Oscars are a complete joke, but I still enjoy watching as many of the Best Picture nominees as I'm able to. Half of the ones this year are movies I've thought were incredible.

I think Maestro is the only best picture nom I have zero interest in seeing. Grumpy Paul Giamatti winning over an abandoned teen is pretty much guaranteed to be at least pleasant. Past Lives I've heard nothing but raves. American Fiction looks excellent just from the trailer. Zone of Interest looks totally hosed up.

What was the mirror he was holding up to America in Basic Instinct? Or Hollow Man? or Total Recall? Because his satires are so amazing, people forget that they only make up a small minority of his filmography.

Question, does anyone else find themselves a little bit annoyed at the online reclamation of Tom Cruise in recent years? I don't think doing your own stunts should be reason enough for people to ignore all of the creepy poo poo with Scientology and Katie Holmes.

I don't think doing your own stunts should be reason enough for people to ignore all of the creepy poo poo with Scientology and Katie Holmes. My opinion on Cruise was set some time ago: The man is committed to acting and films and I respect it. He's a real life weirdo and possibly worse, but I completely separate the two.

Zokari posted:they're trying so hard to make ghostbusters happen I’m not sure why though? Like, you made a bunch of attempts to remake ghostbusters and they all sucked and no one liked them. I used to have an aquarium as a kid and I had a fiddler crab who lived in it who was a sadistic dick. He would find fish lurking near the bottom of the tank, pull all their fins off and wave their corpses around in his giant claw perhaps to make us all bear witness to his atrocities. Maybe try waving around the corpse of Caddyshack, Weird Science or Goonies instead? * *Please do not do this E: also the crab eventually escaped the tank and was promptly eaten by a dog.

It was bad enough having the mini marshmallow men in the last movie, and the trailer has them AGAIN!? Fakeedit: totally unrelated, but I got the Mask of the Phantasm UHD release and these stupid loving assholes included ONLY the cropped wide screen release. This movie was originally storyboarded and began production as a direct to video 4:3 release, with 16:9 being a late addition for the surprise theatrical release. This is so loving stupid

They're not exactly sitting on a deep bench. So they've gotta keep putting the big pro who should have retired a long time ago up to bat. It's not like a 2023 Gidget remake would make any money.

After I typed this post, I did a quick GIS for Gidget, and upon seeing the publicity stills I realized that my statement is 100% wrong. Look at this poo poo:    A modern-day Gidget with, like, Zendaya in the lead role and Jacob Elordi & Timothée Chalamet as the romantic rivals would sell so many loving tickets to the zoomers that Sony Pictures would be able to buy Disney.

If everything was on the level of Top Gun Maverick and Edge of Tomorrow then maybe, but they aren't.

Oh wow you mean absolutely none of the throngs of people who saw the ghosts actually saw the ghosts and everything is reset so they have to prove themselves again in exactly the same way as before?

Does anyone own "fatal games" and want an alternative slip cover? I forgot I donated to Vinegar Syndrome and they sent me this interesting slip cover, but I don't own the movie. You can have it for free if I ever make it to the post office. Not my pictures, stolen from reddit:
