PostNouveau posted:The Good the Bad and the Ugly is wayyyyyy better than the other two. Those two aren't even in the same league as it. They both have things the others don't have. Fistful of Dollars has the is Yojimbo and got sued for it alongside the steel plate ending and For A Few Dollars more has the undercover aspect. That said yeah GBU is the best one and any film that ends with the hero winning through dastardly tricks is a good thing to me.

I am watching Rebel Moon 2, and so far there have been 3 grain harvesting montages, and then everyone went around the room and did flashbacks about why they hate the Empire. The band of heroes turned the peaceful villagers into basically Hamas with a single training scene. None of them were even initially bad at it. Apparently all they needed were the weapons because these people are natural born killers. PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Apr 22, 2024 |

And yet no one ever scythed an enemy soldier's feet off, leaving their body to comically topple over in slow motion

This was not in the Top 10 on Netflix, and I missed something and went to look up a plot summary and no one has bothered to write it on Wikipedia. Zack Snyder says this is film 2 of 4 or maybe 6.

Clash of the Titans 2013 thought having a character repeatedly say they were a fisherman was enough, when the final boss of the movie is a giant goddamn sea creature and they do nothing with that.

lol this was a horrible plan they got like at least half this village slaughtered There's a weird barbarian dude who fights with two axes, but this movie is so devoted to being completely bloodless that they just show his rubber axes bouncing off anyone they hit. Everyone who gets shot shows no actual damage, it just makes a bunch of CGI metal slag and then they fall over. The hero infiltrated the battleship and she killed all the medics who came to help her and now she is murdering all the workers in the engine room, who appear to be shoveling coal into furnaces like it's a steamer ship.

priznat posted:Still watching that Constellation show on AppleTV and I still can’t decide if it is worth it, it seems like they’ve done in 7 episodes so far what should really have taken no more than 4. It ain't. As you said, it takes too long to go basically nowhere, and once it arrives you'll find it was not at all worth the commitment. It's the epitome of a plot-driven show; the only people approaching actual characters are the guys played by Jonathan Banks while everyone else has basically one personality trait that defines everything about who they are. If the central mystery was interesting enough to make up for the lack of interesting/developed characters then that'd be one thing, but the more you learn about it, the dumber and more nonsensical it becomes. It's unfortunate because they clearly put a lot of money into it and the cast is pretty good. Highly recommend stopping now and watching Counterpart instead, which does a superficially similar premise much, much better.

I hope Snyder releases all 6 Rebel Moon movies as their PG-13 versions first and then dies tragically before he gets the chance to go back and finish them by adding CGI blood to all the slow motion. Also split the final one into a part 1 and part 2 movie so Snyder fans have to wait an additional year.

Splitting the last 2 movies into 2 parts each was the reason he said it might be anywhere from 4-6 movies (they will not make another one of these). There was an OK lightsaber fight at the end. The terrible plan got the cool witch lady, the hero's boyfriend and a shitload of villagers killed. The tiny village seems to be a smoldering wreck, but everyone is happy anyway. Sofia Boutella's character has to emote in the end and it's truly horrific acting.

Yeah it reminded me of counterpoint a lot but less cohesive. I really liked Counterpoint, that show needed some more seasons. Constellation definitely was not cheaped out on, the ISS scenes were really well done. I kept waiting for it to improve but then episode 7 is basically a retread of a lot of stuff we saw already in the first drat episode!! Just a real timewaster of a show, super disappointing. Magnus is such a useless doofus too. Hm daughter wandered away from cabin in winter, oh well I will just go back to sleep surely she won’t wander off again!!

counterpart got in just before the multiverse fad and did it better than anything that came after from an actual sci fi perspective. the two worlds have diverged into two completely seperate sociopolitical realities because of random events, iirc one had a pandemic way worse than the rona that caused it to be more authoritarian, have higher income inequality, higher tech. and it makes sense when you see both versions of the same character because they lived through different world events ontop of the different personal choices they made then the real multiverse wave hit and we got a bunch of "in this universe thor is a donkey!"

I seriously wanted to get more of a reveal on a lot of the stuff in that show, like “the board” I think it was referred to as. Reminded me of the board in Control tbh.

I watched about half of Late Night with the Devil. It’s…ok? The opening narration and showing us stuff that’s not really happening on camera break the illusion. They cheated a little and say what we’re seeing is the master tape, so when they cut to commercial, we don’t see those but rather we see what the cameras are focused on but not broadcasting. While not the same, WNUF handles it better. You’re watching the actual tv broadcast. All the world building is in the details without exposition dumps. It does have a Svengoolie reference so that’s at least 1 star.

It completely gives up on this by the end. Probably something about art and filmmaking visual story telling. I was on board for 95% of the movie. I really enjoyed the scenes where the skeptic explained and showed hypnotic suggestion. I wanted them to continue with that, make the viewer question what was real, if they'd also been drawn into the trick or if it was real... Then they just decided to stop going in that direction, and got boring

Re rebel Moon I wonder if at this point it's actually possible to start out with the idea "let's make one movie for a sensible (both ways) budget, that's as strong as it can possibly be". I think everyone has forgotten that: George Lucas stuck "episode 4: a new hope" on the front of Star Wars after it was already a cultural phenomenon. Iron Man was made to be the absolute best possible standalone marvel movie. I think they have also forgotten that whenever anyone starts from the beginning with the idea they're going to have a wicked happy meal toy deal for movie number 18 it's a loving trash fire: Dark universe Snyder verse Rebel Moon I'm gonna have to hire a Russian bit farm to constantly spam thinkpieces about this on LinkedIn to get this insanely obvious point through the executive reality distortion field, aren't I?

stephenthinkpad posted:The Good The Bad The Ugly has better score. Yeah, think that goes without saying. Like how many films actually have a better score than The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Stone cold classic soundtrack and Ecstasy of Gold is just pure brilliance (as well as the scene is played with).

The movie runs maybe a bit too long already and that whole bit seems like a detour with nothing to say.
