Yeah, I saw your girl Friday. Going to see her Tuesday too. If you'd stay home instead of going to the movies all the time like a nerd, she wouldn't have time to hang out with lowlifes like me.

This chain reminds me of the time I was in Montreal and caught some local TV airing Canadian Amazing Race. Which instead of being globe-trotting to exotic locales all over the planet, it was just a bunch of locations in Canada.

Followed immediately by American Werewolf in The Hood.

Also, tomorrow I'm going with a friend to see this. Apparently there will be a Q&A with the director afterwards. I want to have a Suburban Sasquatch question in my back pocket, but I'm coming up blank.

I like the structure of it so far. Good way to hit the different groups and weave them together. Shows already showing the setting better than the games can pull off. Dale Dickey makes a more memorable quest giver and shopkeeper NPC in a few scenes than some entire games worth of main characters.

Offense is overrated anyway.

when people say "the games" like they're a monolith, it gives me pause. the franchise is in roughly the same place as star wars circa 2010. there's three very good ones and three that are complete poo poo.

Also Star Wars franchise was outnumbered by poo poo movies by 1983 depending on how much you love retcon asspulls or teddy bears.

Its a fun show but the lighting really does make it look like a capital one commercial. Really my only complaint.

Oh and the composer gave Walton Goggins a really, uh, out there theme song. It was funny at first, but then it got a bit distracting

Apparently the full trailer for MaXXXine dropped recently. Once again Ti West's inability to just ask Mia Goth out will result in spectacular cinema:

This will probably be in front of the screenings of Alex Garland's Civil War, but I hope that vile piece of poo poo bombs (both for the hypernormalisation it encourages and because it's A24 trying to destroy itself by entering its blockbuster era).

Alex Garland's Civil War. As I posted in the 2023 RLM thread when we all first learned about the movie:

LanceHunter posted:

It feels like it's going for a "what if it happened here" vibe. Trying to say: "Hey, you know all that horrible stuff we see in the news that happens in other countries? We're going to depict it happening right here at home so you can really interrogate your feelings about it!"

And that's not a bad idea in general. The problem is that it is clear they are trying to do that without actually thinking through the logic of how something like that would work (or very explicitly ignoring how the logic of it would work, just to get the moments/visuals that provide the most emotional impact). Also there's a good chance that it's going to end up pulling an American History X where it intends to show the horror and futility of its subject but instead ends up making it look awesome to the exact wrong kind of rear end in a top hat. There will be chuds and Boogaloo Boys jerking off to that movie for years to come.

Fallout is a bit better than expected but it took to the second ep to get me into it enough to want to finish

They don't have a 'War Never Changes' blurb/speech, it's fuckin criminal imo. We understand from this the shitfucks at Bethesda only consider 3+ actually to have happened aside from retcons on poo poo like Shady Sands. It's pretty annoying but enjoyable past the gently caress you to everything the series of games was originally built on.

How long is the first episode of Fallout? I want to get started on it, maybe even tonight. I do wish it was released week-by-week, I just don't have the time to binge stuff right away and it sucks avoiding spoilers and missing a lot of the initial discussion.

But Americans have civil war infighting and post-apocalypse complex, shouldn't you blame the American public who eat these up instead of the director?

A24’s Civil War glorifies civil war and will lead to a rash of impressionable theater-goers trying to do civil war in their backyards.

EEAAO was never meant to be a blockbuster, it just seriously over-performed. Civil War has giant CGI effects shots of rockets blowing of buildings in the trailer, and is part of a pivot by the studio to start making more traditional Hollywood blockbusters. (A plan which includes letting private equity ghouls sink their hooks into the studio so they have the cash to make big blockbusters.)
