If the Infinity War movies are Hamlet, then Ant Man and Wasp are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. OR If Avengers 3 and 4 are The Lion King 1 and 2, then Ant Man and Wasp is The Lion King 1 1/2

Retro Futurist posted:Maybe Ant Man and Wasp starts with a big box saying "This film takes place prior to Infinity War - ed" There will probably be a status quo established at the end of Infinity War that will allow Ant Man and the Wasp to take place in. It'd make sense to have the two smallest heroes to be the ones that start the resistance that leads to Avengers 4. It'd be a hell of a underdog story.

I don't hate Baby Driver but boy was it the version of Edgar Wright I don't like where he gets overly cute and stylistic to the point where it feels like you're watching a collection of gimmicks over an actual movie with actual things it wants to say. Like I've never finished a film and felt more like I had just wasted my time because of how weightless the movie as a whole felt. Especially in comparison to something like, again, The Big Sick, which was incredible, moving filmmaking on basically every level.

It's a film that manages to show the main character's relationship develop with his mother, stepfather, best friend, and girlfriend over the course of a comedic zombie apocalypse scenario in a way that's genuinely affecting.

To a certain level he always engages in cinematic gimmickry, but it's often in service of a larger point or reinforces an underlying theme of Wright's moviemaking. Like all the shots in Hot Fuzz, he wanted to specifically replicate action movie shots and perspectives but contrast it within a "real world" scenario, hence why the final showdown has nobody die, or he had multiple scenes of police doing bureaucratic paperwork (which is mostly what cops end up doing anyways) and contrast that against the hagiographic vision of police that people have. The video game stuff is meant to reinforce Scott's arrested development and refusal to mature that is the underlying theme of Scott Pilgrim. The music videos in Baby Driver have no greater point; it doesn't serve the narrative on any deeper level. To bring it back to comic books, the soundtrack and montages that Guardians 1 uses is meant to show how Peter Quill connects with his mom and informs his specific outlook on life, which forms the emotional backbone of the movie as a whole. The montages in Baby Driver are in there because, uh, they're cool I guess? And Edgar Wright really wanted to have them?

Disney-Fox deals reportedly re-re(-re?)-emerging. Source is Deadline, but also literally just some guy talking about rumors he heard, so.quote:I know you want to talk about the legacies of those exposed in these sexual assault and harassment scandals, but I just want to start with a juicy rumor that is fast gaining steam in town today, that Disney is progressing speedily toward that rumored acquisition of Fox. The version I heard has the Murdoch clan keeping possession of sports and news properties, and the rest of TV and the film studio going to Disney. Radio silence right now from both studios, and given how Disney made the Marvel and Lucasfilm deals under the cone of silence, if this happens we’ll probably only know it when it’s announced. It is certainly being talked about today. Not surprisingly, the reaction around town is not enthusiasm, because of the uncertainty that comes with potentially reducing a major studio to content generators under the Disney silo system.

You're talking about a large section of a media conglomerate that, on the whole, is pretty loving evil (it's really hard to overstate how badly Fox News and various Murdoch based media enterprises here and abroad have hosed with our perception of the "truth") going to a significantly less evil media conglomerate (Disney's done some pretty hosed poo poo over the years but otoh they've more or less stayed out of Fox News-level untruth and reality warping).

It would probably be good for Disney to pick up Fox and the other Marvel stuff now, so that they can put that into Phase 4 or whatever We'll see if that actually happens.

I finally saw Justice League tonight and it was way better than I expected. I put it on par with Iron Man 2. I enjoyed the relationship between Diana and Bruce, Cyborg was surprisingly interesting (and he said the thing), Flash stopped being annoying after a bit, and I didn't really notice Superman's lip. Biggest complaint was how weightless Batman's fight in the beginning was, the two upskirts on Wonder Woman along with the closeup on her rear end in the leather pants later on, and the forgettable villain. Like my expectations were rock bottom, but I didn't leave the theater shaking my head like in BvS.

Whisk! posted:The fact that baby driver is on that list and the big sick isn't is loving absurd and completely invalidates it I think romantic comedies tend to have a bias against them regardless of how well they are made. As for Baby Driver, I liked it when I finally saw it recently, but even though I haven't seen 10 movies, I wouldn't say it's the sort of thing that would qualify as top ten material. That being said, I appreciate movies like Baby Driver (and Atomic Blonde) because I think it is good to have action movies you can make for $30 million which don't have to earn all the money in the world for them to qualify as a success.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:He tells young Clark that he doesn't have to save everyone, and shouldn't, because his identity is more important than saving kids after he does the bus thing and nearly blows his cover. Which is the exact same as murdering them, since Superman can (through no risk to his own safety) save people, say, stuck in a sinking bus trivially. Like, that's what murder is: enabling death through your own (in)action. Words have meaning, and that's not what the word murder means. Murder literally means the opposite: Deliberately taking an action with the intent of killing someone. That's even disregarding that you are not describing the scene correctly. When asked if he should have let the kids drown, Pa, obviously very hesitantly, says "...maybe". He doesn't have a clear answer, what he 's saying is that there's a lot at stake here, and that the premature discovery of Clark can have disastrous consequences, and he' is right, too. Others have elaborated on this point, so suffice to say that this is a scene with quite a bit of nuance, but the takeaway for most comic book fans is that Pa Kent is endorsing the murder of school children. It's bizarre, and again it all boils down to the "not my X" argument. irlZaphod posted:My favourite thing about Justice League is that there wasn't really any sort of resolution to the Cyborg subplot with his father.

As someone who loved MoS and BvS I was deeply disappointed in JL. It's like a marvel movie without the polish (so yeah, Iron man 2 sounds about right). Even the harshest critics of Snyders movies has to admit they look gorgeous, and JL didn't even have the decency to offer that. It's all just boring walkways and stairwells. They may as well have shot it at a warehouse or airport. And Supermans characterization was atrocious. In a vacuum, JL would have been a totally OK movie, on par with IM 2. But knowing what might have been just kills me. I would have killed for a JL movie going full BvS.
