Maybe by flair he means "over serious edgy grim dark"?

You could've just left it at "rargh me no like," since that's basically all grimdark means any more.

I don't get why people apparently want a movie about a collection of murderers, thugs, and insane people to be all bright colors and goofy costumes.

Jon Heder is definitely wearing that hat.

They actually asked Patrick Stewart to wear it. Hence the face.

Chess is banned here for that very reason.

The kids at school wouldn't stop whacking off into the boxes of chess pieces.

This is the "Brown Tone" of movie posters. You see it and are unable to complete a coherent thought and then you just poo poo yourself and pass out.

I think I lost it at Cameraeron Diaz.

Just wait like till Christmas then you can do a YA dystopian weekend featuring

Hunger games

The divergent series starring not Jennifer Lawrence

The maze runner series starring generic white guy

And The Giver which looks like every other god drat thing put out by Walden Media.

You forgot City of Bones starring Eyebrows and the Rest of Lily Collins.

Which is fair enough, because it literally took me 10 minutes to even remember the name of that movie.

I don't think it's a coincidence that in a summer in the midst of an economic recession and mounting tensions about class inquality and income disparity a movie about a white guy who takes a nap and wakes up with super powers that let him take over a planet with ease failed to find an audience but a movie about a poor girl struggling to fight the system from within became a smash hit.

Yeah I don't think it was the economy that stopped John Carter from succeeding. It was more the being boring as gently caress.

If they really wanted to make use of the framing device, they'd make Indiana Jones in Where In Time Is Adolf Hitler?

Comedy horror? What, like Little Shop of Horrors? Gremlins? Beetlejuice? Ghostbusters? Idle Hands? I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle?

Yes but it was so bad and everyone hated it so much that the entire first trailer for the new one was basically an apology.

Yeah but three sucked all kinds of rear end and still there are/will be like another four games since. As long as people keep buying them - and they will keep buying them - Ubisoft couldn't give a gently caress.

I would say a Blood Dragon movie, but Kung Fury just came out.

Kung Fury wants to be Blood Dragon when it grows up.

Why is there an American flag behind Sarah Connor? It makes it look like one of those Iran-Iraq War or IRA martyr murals.

And the robots' red glare, the droids bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Are the lights in the background meant to be bombs exploding or are there three suns?

Oh come on, she does a pretty good job of channeling Linda Hamilton in the trailers.

The only good job of channeling anything those trailers do is channeling my interest away from the movie.

I don't know what this woman has done to earn such a vigorous defense.

Nude scenes.

I think the bottom most one kind of sucks in terms of telling you what the movie is like, but also kind of works. It does have a party in it.

I think the bottom one is worse at telling you what the movie is called. I assume it's called +1?

What the gently caress is this?

The kind of thing six-year-old me would've had wet dreams about if that were biologically possible.

The average person will think that these heroes are also in Ant Man.

Of course I'm not sure the average person will ever see these posters, so...

I too think everyone who isn't me is literally retarded.

It's a thing everyone does. Who the hell says okay, I've not made a bunch of songs and I can quit forever?

Prince.

Except then he doesn't and then we all wish he had.

Prince's new album is awesome, fool.

Eh, it veers hard between amazing and embarrassing, but on the other hand it's also entirely clear Prince couldn't give a gently caress what anyone else thinks.
