SaltyJesus posted:To contribute to the thread here is a great scrolling gallery of minimal movie posters. (From the aptly named Minimal Movie Posters tumblr.) I find most 'posters' in this style pretty stupid and obnoxious, but this one really takes the cake.  Seriously, it's somehow even worse than that Matrix poster with the battery.

I love the idea behind that poster, and parts of it look really cool (I love the hand), but Daniel Radcliffe himself and the title font look pretty wonky.

Everyone talking about how The Social Network poster keeps getting ripped off knows that they just bit that design from Michael Clayton, right?

Vintersorg posted:There isn't much "body horror" though, maybe the final scene but it's nothing crazy. Uh, out of curiosity, when was the last time you watched it? Cuz I just rewatched it recently and there's a loving lot of it. Maybe not as much as The Fly, but that's like the Citizen Kane of body horror.

Midnight Meat Train is one of those movies that's not nearly bad enough to deserve its reputation but not really good enough to compel me to defend it. The original short story's pretty cool.

I won't argue that Lugosi and Frye aren't great, but it probably wouldn't even make my top five list of "Movies with Dracula in the title."

Yodzilla posted:Has there ever been a good movie with the premise of "take an old fairy tale but make it badass?" Hansel & Gretel looks terrible, Red Riding Hood was criminally boring and bad, The Brothers Grimm was stupid, Van Helsing was awful. Has anyone ever made something like that but had it turn out even halfway decent? Since when was Van Helsing based on a fairy tale?

Yodzilla posted:Well if we're stretching that "genre" I just made up to fit Hellboy I think Van Helsing fits in there. Also just the general attitude and feel of the movie is right at home with the rest of that bunch. Well I mean if you're counting Dracula is a fairy tale, then yes, there have been lots of good Dracula movies. Hell, there's even been one genuinely great Van Helsing solo movie(Brides of Dracula).

Dissapointed Owl posted:Has Jeremy Renner ever been in something good and, more importantly, been good in something? The guys got a lot of fans and a lot of opportunistic in the business, for some reason. He's about as bland and uninteresting as they get. He absolutely rules in 28 Weeks Later. He's very good in The Hurt Locker and The Town also.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:It's Terrence Malick, so I assume it's just a lot of people staring off into the middle distance while you can hear their inner monologue. Bingo. I love the other Malick movies I've seen, but this one was so corny as to border on self-parody.

Dissapointed Owl posted:Ragging on Bono is fun and all but like you said, the mainstream shift towards actual hatred comes from something really twisted. It's bizarre. My sister works in public health as well as animal rescue, so she's involved with charity on a couple fronts. She says in those circles "Bono" is a recognized term for someone who you have to be nice to because they're contributing to great things but is totally obnoxious to actually talk to/be around. So I don't think it's that weird, is I guess what I'm saying. Who hasn't known someone like that? Edit: This is a really strange derail. How did we end up talking about this again?

A movie poster doesn't need to tell you what the movie is about, it just needs to get you interested. That The Wind Is Rising one gets me interested.

Sockser posted:I'd say a movie drastic example is Terminator 2. Arnie is the bad guy in Terminator 1, and as the movie begins he dons beats the gently caress out of a bunch of dudes and dons some badass bike leather, while Robert Patrick takes the form of a cop and goes looking for John Connor. Up until the showdown at the mall, there's really no indication which terminator is the good guy and which is the bad guy. It's really cool, directorally. I've heard this argument before, but isn't the first thing Robert Patrick does in that movie murder a cop?

Calico Heart posted:Could you explain it to me, then? I don't know how it can be viewed as anything other than incredibly self-indulgent, but it's been 5+ years since I've seen it. Well I mean part of it is I just think maybe you're remembering it wrong. For one, Lars Von Trier is not the person reading the voiceover at the end; Jordan Leth is. And the fifth obstruction is not "there is no fifth obstruction," it's that Jordan Leth is forced to assume directorial credit for a version of the film that was entirely prepared by Lars Von Trier, and read from a script that Von Trier wrote from Leth's point of view as if they were his own words. Essentially, the challenge of the fifth obstruction is that Leth is denied artistic input entirely and forced to take credit for a film he didn't make.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:In other words, a prank. Oh most definitely, but that's kinda the point: the big theme of the movie is authorship, and the fifth obstruction is the most direct expression of that. The two big questions that the viewer comes away with are (1) whose film is this really, Leth's or Von Trier's, and (2) given that these explanations are coming out of the mouths of two extremely notorious cinematic pranksters, why should we believe anything that they say? It's a lot like F for Fake in that regard. It's funny to hear The Five Obstructions being called out as Von Trier at his worst because in my experience it's been the one film that even Von Trier haters appreciate.
