Prowler posted:I mean, while this definitely looks bad, it's amazing how bad that poster is, good lord, my imagination had it significantly worse. It definitely looks better than the poster suggested it would. It looks like something I might watch when bored and stoned on a Saturday afternoon because I got nothing better to do.

Wally Pfister, director of Transendence posted:There are the movies out there that he loves and I hate. I'm not a big Michael Bay fan. Chris loves Michael Bay's movies. And so I'm always like, 'Come on, dude!' But he sees something in it, and I don't see it. Wally Pfister was one of those "movies should be elitist" guys in the Side by Side documentary, so I can see him also being the type of person who just dismisses Bay's craft out of hand.

Tran5formers is fun because when they were making it, they put together a writers' room to pitch a bunch of random Transformers movies and then just cobbled the script together from the ideas Bay liked. So you can actually see in realtime which movie he would rather be making at any particular moment. "I'd rather be making King Arthur movie" "'I'd rather be making a World War II Movie" "I'd rather be making a post-apocalyptic dystopia movie" "I'd rather be making a world-ending disaster movie"

muscles like this! posted:The Dark Universe is back baby* To be honest, it seems like a better idea to just have a spooky part of a theme park than trying to to a multibillion dollar movie franchise as an ad campaign for it first.

I still say a lot about the Transformers movies makes sense considering they probably watched G1 Transformers for ideas. That show was nuts. They fought a (human) big game hunter who wanted Optimus Prime's head on his wall once, and also totally-not Cobra Commander. And pretty sure they went to space and met some Transformer-sized-human-looking aliens a few times.

Transformers 5 is awesome and has one of Anthony Hopkins best performances. His is palpably thrilled to be there and I have no loving idea why but the entire thing is nuts so it makes as much sense as anything else.

It's like Orson Welles in the og, Transformers is the kind of franchise that you might as well go gonzo with. Also it has the canonical death of Frasier as far as I'm concerned.

The insane constant aspect ratio changes were horrific. Michael Bay took cinema's coolest trick and abused it

There's the level of detachment and work you need to appreciate Bay's work after Pain and Gain and I just don't have it in me lol. If Bay ever marries his style with an actual meaningful script then I might be interested in him again.

In addition to all the other issues with Transformers, I just can't stand movies that refuse to stick with a consistent size for their giant monster or robot or whatever. I'm immediately thinking of Ghostbusters II where the 151' statue is submerged up to the crown in the East River which is only 40' deep, and then it's towering over buildings that are much taller than 151' feet. Why shrink it by two-thirds just double the size in the very next scene?

She was obvously crouching down while crossing the east river and standing on tippy toes while walking through the forest of buildings.

Normally I don't care about this sort of stuff but there's a robot TRex in one of them and they did not give a single gently caress on whether it's TRex sized compared to the other giant robots or the humans, which is just insanely noticeable.

I am laughing at you getting riled up about this but not concerned with the fact the Statue of Liberty somehow became animate in the first place. (Or wondering what happened to the statue after Vigo gets destroyed.) Maybe the positive psychoactive slime has the ability to change the size of an object too?

It's the same kind of time fuckery that allows Wolverine to deliver a page's worth of monologuing in mid-jump. It may very well be dud to a mutant called The Time Fucker.

If Bay ever marries his style with an actual meaningful script then I might be interested in him again. The I’ve yet to watch LA Ambulance, but 13 Hours and Six Underground are both real-rear end movies. 13 Hours is Bay at his most restrained and tasteful, basically doing a Pete Berg disaster picture (e.g. Patriots Day, Deepwater Horizon, Lone Survivor…). Six Underground has a cliched premise of “what if superheroes were real, they must be really hosed in the head”, but is actually written with Watchmen nuance while staying nicely grounded - largely avoiding distracting comicbook tropes like costumes and magic and whatever. It’s about a billionaire murderer whose concept of ethics is influenced by comic books (or, more specifically, comic book movies).

Kinda feels like he's been weird since Nightcrawler. Maybe it's hard to alternate starvation and tren cycles as well as Christian Bale without losing it.
