She should team up with Lin Shaye, since it's a Blumhouse deal. Hopefully she gets Michael Myers to slip on some Activia.

I'm a fairly big fan of H20 so I'd kind of love if it ignored Resurrection and was a sequel to H20.

The third one spends the first half summarising the second from a different perspective and I just couldn't keep going. Fincher did a lot to streamline his version of the first one and it was sooo much better for it. Completely agree. I love the original Swedish version of the film but Fincher really trimmed it down to what that story was really about.

The books are basically mediocre airport novels that got a lot of goodwill due to the novelty of being set in Sweden plus not being hateful conservative trash.

There is some interest in Salander being not just the typical mystery novel savant who doesn't fit in but actually being legit hosed up and a victim of abuse and actually going into some detail on that apart from it just being color.

The Sweden setting wasn't really novel at that point. Wallander novels had been selling in the US for more than a decade, and the BBC adaptation was 2 seasons in.

Doesn't the authors self insert do all the mystery solving and have sex with all the women while Lisbeth basically just beats people up?

Reminds me a bit of Matthew Reilly; airport novelist who mostly gets by on the novelty of not being entirely America-centric and not generally having long racist screeds.

Shoombo posted:Yeah I have never understood the claim that John Wick 2 over-explains things. Even more than the first movie it's just a string of stylish set pieces with some cool assassin-sounding poo poo made up to string it along Well, the premise is inherently silly, so pretty much any elaboration is too much.

Dude loses his girlfriend, she left him a dog to cope with his loss, some crooks kill the dog, he goes on a murder spree. There's an emotional core to the film of a deranged ex-hitman getting revenge. Chapter 2 is... they blew up his house because he doesn't wanna be a murder-man anymore. Like, the joke is gone now, and they never came up with a new one to justify the next film, and expected to play it straight through this one... which really doesn't work.

It's a continuation from the first. John was done with that life because of his wife, and she was taken from him by a disease. He wants to respect her memory and stay out of the business he left, but is dragged back into it. He walked away from that life because of her, and he doesn't want to go back because then he will truly lose her. It's pretty much explained when Ian McShane's character talks to the main villain. John was out, and now he's being forced back in against his wishes because all he wants is to live in peace with the memory of his wife. And he'll kill anyone who keeps him from that peace.

I bet if the "bad moms" franchise still exists in 5 years they'll parter with wwe divas for a movie. One of the moms does an amateur fight night (do those exist?) and likes it and has to balance work and family and her new hobby and eventually choose which is most important 😘

Speaking of bad moms, Mother! has an F Cinemascore Via Deadline: quote:3rd update, Friday 9:48PM Well, it’s clear: Moviegoers officially hate Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! The film scored a rare F grade from CinemaScore audiences tonight, and there were many rivals heading into the weekend who were expecting that type of reaction. As we heard at noon, the bold Jennifer Lawrence pic is crashing well below its projections with an estimated $8M in third. This has nothing to do with the actual quality of the movie itself, it just means that it's not the type of movie that the audience was expecting, and will probably financially suffer from negative word of mouth.

I mean, given what happens in the movie, it is not a surprise that a bog-standard Friday night audience would recoil from the movie as hard as they possibly could. I’d be more weirded out if it got like a B (of course, in today’s “all or nothing” market even that gets written off as a failure by pundits and studios; really they should just do a four-star system) or something. It’s definitely going to be a movie that’ll develop a cult following in a few years for being ridiculously bold. More of a Requiem For A Dream than a Black Swan.

I wasn't going to see it because I really don't like horror movies and that's what it had been advertised as around where I live. Then I was spoiled on the plot so I went, and loved it.

I first learned about the existence of Mother in the previews of "It" where they were promoting something exclusive about the screening. I don't even know how that happens, I average roughly a movie a week in the theater, not a lot of movies come out in the theaters without hitting my radar. I guess I sometimes miss the first preview and maybe it's just that every time.

that trailer was really bad cuz it makes the movie look like rosemary's baby tho it'd be difficult to advertize it i think. just like the trailers for noah didn't prepare you for how weird it got.
