Men didn't have a lot going on and was more moody than anything else but the fact that every dude in it was the same guy and no one commented on it and there was a plausible reason why (inbreeding ofc) and the way it somehow still commented on misogyny in different forms, religion, law enforcement, and "helpful" dudes, and still was creepingly nonsensical....I dunno, I liked it.

This movie wants to be Guardians of the Galaxy so hard it's physical painful.

Guardians + Dungeons and Dragons. What a coup to get so many high profile actors and yet they have so little to do?

Yeah it has immediate GotG vibes which... Whatever I'll watch it on whatever streaming platform it ends up on. Looks like cheap fun. I have no affinity or loyalty to the games. Played the first one I think.

Civil War just seems trite to me than outright offensive. I don't think its going to be out right fash or anything but everything about the trailers just makes it feel like whatever the message is going to be, it will be eye rolley. I disagree with the starship troopers comparison because people are always just going to misinterpret poo poo, this just looks way more self serious lol.

Pitching up Jack Black's voice is a bit weird. He sounds like someone else I can't place.

And why does Cate Blanchett have almost no on camera lines in that trailer? Maybe that's not odd but for being the headliner the only on screen line she says is "I hate this planet." And everyone else gets more screentime. Weird.

A big tell is that amidst the bombast and quick cuts and explosions I didn't hear one good line of dialogue. Means whoever cut this didn't have alot to work with.

I imagine Cate Blanchett has a kid who's really into Borderlands the game. Like how Adam Driver made 65 because his kid likes dinosaurs.

IIRC Bob Hoskins did that movie because his kid was really into the games, and even though it flopped he doesn't seem to have an axe to grind about it.

Or how Richard Harris was going to pass on playing Dumbledore until his granddaughter said, "If you don't play Dumbledore, I will never speak to you again."

Or how Frank Langella did Master of the Universe so his kids could finally see him in a movie (and then his kids fell asleep during it).

This might be true but also he broke his finger while filming because he was so drunk

But also Blanchett had to spend 2 months in Hungary in the throes of the pandemic so it’s still a tossup imo

Relative bad time? I dunno. I could chill in Budapest getting paid millions to make a garbage movie. The pandemic sucked everywhere.


I'm sure there were people convinced that the mineral baths in Budapest would cure them, though. That would be annoying.
