BonoMan posted:I dont know! I have no interest in the movie at all so I can't answer any of that lol. I don't know if anyone does. It's totally baffling. I don't know a single person excited for it. Wait let me check with the girl I know who's most into Disney poo poo.

The MSJ posted:The movie apparently paints her as a young nobody in the fashion business who got disrespected by the fashion boomers. So where does "slaughtering puppies to make a coat" come in? Is the fashion boomer a talking dog?

Gripweed posted:It's not 101 Dalmatians from Cruella's point of view, it's a prequel. There will probably be some cheeky references to her not caring about dogs or something, but she's not going to try to kill 101 dalmatians in this movie They weren't her first rodeo, she had an entire closet full of it. There may have been a song. It's her one character trait and the point of a prequel of this nature should be a "how did she get there from here?" thing, so if it's never brought up it's still a massive failure and just didn't need to be the character who's only thing is killing cute baby animals.

Gripweed posted:Vince, I think your mind has inserted this scene from the Simpsons parody of 101 Dalmatians into your memory of the actual 101 Dalmatians movie. You're almost certainly right. But I feel like this is kind of her entire place in pop culture in 2021, though.

flashy_mcflash posted:Wasn't Maleficent's singular character trait (ahead of her two movies) putting a teenager in a coma Yeah but those movies changed it so that was all just a big misunderstanding and she was really good all along. Which from my understanding, cruella is not doing.

CelticPredator posted:Nightcrawler is one of the best movies ever, and that dude is the worst of all time. But I could watch 20 movies of Bloom being a slimey piece of poo poo lmao The point of Nightcrawler is he's supposed to be a horrible monster though. It's a psychological horror movie in a lot of ways. They aren't selling lunchboxes and little kids camera toys with his face.

CelticPredator posted:Right now there is an insanely popular and hard to collect toy line out there that has caused distress to target employees during this pandemic so GI Joe has some kind of relevance. As someone who worked at toys r us for years back in the day this is always the situation. It's not cause GI Joe or Transformers or whatever thing is popular in the wider culture, it's because they don't make many and smelly action figure nerds are the most aggressive, pushy assholes you run into in that job other than upper class suburban women. Both groups seem to think stores are just not in the business of selling things and keep all our stock in "the back" for some reason and will flip out on you when you say you don't have any there and the places making this stuff don't give you any information on when shipments are coming.

cvnvcnv posted:Reason being that if they as customers know the scarcity of a particular sku and thus exists a reasonable expectation the resell value is desirable to those looking to make money, then so exists a reasonable expectation that retail workers who don't make as much money as they like and have access to said product would also know and be incentivized to withhold as many units from the public as possible. Consider the anecdotal nature of yourself ostensibly not engaging in said behavior in your one location vs what they, some of them professional shoppers, are experiencing as they encounter many workers in many stores and locations and not infrequently not being able to purchase something which if not housed in that building, though it almost certainly is, then is mistakenly somehow marked as being in stock in which case the customer cannot be blamed for believing it is. They can likely recite in excruciating detail the last many instances in which "the back" is a real place with a real door that is fully functional and can be demonstrably proven to be used for scalping. At this point it may be an issue of honor among thieves, to speak casually if inaccurately, in a number of cases but in all others it is customers who are simply earnestly and eagerly trying to not get screwed as they have been many times before. The stuff the employees bought wasn't in "the back." It was in their lockers or bags or cars. That poo poo got snagged up the second it was off the truck and no one was reselling in the store. You cannot beat the scalpers that work there.

DrVenkman posted:I'm beginning to think you haven't seen it. I saw it in theaters opening day with friends and had to apologise to the friends I talked into going with me because they were all very angry at the boring, bad movie I made them go to. I know rotten tomatoes isn't the end all be all, but it's sitting at 46/43 there, so I'm not in the minority about this either.

The worst problem with baby driver is none of the music felt like it fit. It all seemed like he picked it from a library after the movie was made instead of planning and shooting the movie around it. Which, if I'm remembering right, is exactly what happened.

The only part I liked was when Hocus Pocus started, but then it still didn't feel like it matched with what was happening. It's mind blowing to find out the extent they went through to make stuff fit with the editing and it doesn't show at all. Fuckin suicide squad felt more cut to it's music than it.

stratdax posted:Every single action and sound onscreen matches the beat at melody of the song. Him running up the stairs, lightposts going by the camera, gunshots, all the edits themselves, etc. You guys are nuts. The scene doesn't get more intense during the intense parts, slower during the slower parts, nothing big or important happens at the solos, etc. It's timed to the song perfectly on a technical level and it doesn't make it feel like that song fits there or needs to be that song or anything at all. Like yeah, his footfalls are on beat. Great. That doesn't do anything for me on any emotional level, It's not memorable, and was a big waste of time to do.

If you told me those two people were not only the same age, but also the same person in different outfits, I'd probably believe you due to the massive amount of airbrushing going on with their faces.

Dune is absolutely going to make like $200 total at the box office, if the Delta variant even allows it in theaters, but that's got nothing to do with the cast. It's because it's DUNE, the most influential sci fi book that no one has ever read.

I think Dune will probably be good to great, but I don't think that's gonna matter. My dad is gonna LOVE it. He's the only person I know in real life who has ever read any of the books.
