jojoinnit posted:I don't know what its meant to be about, but all I noticed was "interesting suit, five cuff buttons and pick stitching on the lapels". I do like that it appears to be an actual shot that he posed for. It's basically a modern Ulysses-- one guy with too much money having an insane and self-destructive odyssey through Manhattan to get a haircut. Also Cronenberg wrote the screenplay himself, which is a really good sign.

Desperado Bones posted:Are they hiring people from Tumblr now? Nah, just kidding. I think we will seeing this style of posters for a long time. At least with Cosmopolis it makes sense since the story, like The Social Network, is about a man who is intensely focused on himself, incredibly isolated, and bombarded by information. The style thematically fits with those movies, it's seeing it used on a poster for a film like Thor that's ridiculous.

muscles like this? posted:Videodrome is on Netflix Streaming. LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH! Videodrome is one of those films-- like Network --that's aged really well and become a better satire of the present age than of its own. Given that its central theme is how our immersion in media is changing what it is to be human, it seems like a much better look at the information age than the VHS age. The fact that Netflix streaming even exists feels like proof of this. Anyone interested in Cronenberg should also check out Crash, although probably not more than once; that film's like an exercise in how bad a movie can make you feel.

You're not kidding, that looks like a drat video game ad. I want to be hopeful about the Total Recall remake but I can't see the guys who gave us Salt and Underworld making anything special. Even if it does have Cranston as Cohaagen and Nighy as Kuato.

Gonz posted:To my knowledge, the remake doesn't even feature Mars, which would be like Titanic having no Titanic in it. I believe that Philip K. Dick's short story didn't feature Mars in it, either, but c'mon....what's Total Recall without "GETCHA AHHHS TO MAAHHHHS"? The short story only covers the first 15 or so minutes of the film, up to the realization by the doctors that he has the suppressed memories. And it still mentions Mars and explicitly says that his memories were of being a secret agent on Mars.

Professor Clumsy posted:I don't understand why everyone is so adamant that the Total Recall remake be identical to the Verhoeven film. I don't really think anyone's been complaining about that-- the only complaint I raised was the writers and directors haven't done too much to inspire hope, and other people brought up that if you're going to make Total Recall without Mars, why even bother.

oldpainless posted:Trejo AND Perlman? Sold. The poster could just be two stick figures with "RON PERLMAN" and "DANNY TREJO" scribbled above them and I'd be on board. ...then again Season of the Witch had Ron Perlman and Nic Cage in it and couldn't manage to be good.

TetsuoTW posted:It remains to be seen whether it'll be Kill Bill Tarantino or Inglourious Basterds Tarantino though. Inglorious Basterds felt like such a huge step forward for the guy artistically that it's honestly hard to see him going back-- that film was just miles more subtle and actually mature than what came before it.

Wolfsheim posted:Yeah, the part where the two mouthpieces stood in front of a movie theater listing off old movies Tarantino likes was brilliant I just said it was more subtle and mature, not that Tarantino had completely restrained his inner squealing fanboy. In general the film had a lot more nuance and felt a lot less show-offy than his previous works-- it was a lot less tongue-in-cheek and "cool" than his other work. There are still plenty of little over-the-top touches (that scene, Samuel L. Jackson, the David Bowie number) but it felt like the first time he'd really tried to restrain himself as a director. Basically I saw it as the first Tarantino movie that felt like it was driven by the story and ideas rather than cool moments, neat references, and glib writing. Don't get me wrong, I adore Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, but Basterds was just a whole other level for me and I really hope he keeps working like that. And that opening scene is the greatest thing in his career to date. e: on the subject of Django, check out The Great Silence. It's the same director as the original Django and is just a staggeringly bleak and desolate spaghetti western. Also Klaus Kinski is the villain.

Lizard Combatant posted:Whoah whoah whoah, when did people start using 'spaghetti' incorrectly. The Sergio westerns are the best westerns. I always thought 'spaghetti' was the term for the cheesy pulpy westerns that also came out of Italy? Or am I wrong? The dollars trilogy are some of my favourites. Nah, I've just always heard Spaghetti Western to mean any Italian western of that era.

Vagabundo posted:This poster tells us a lot about Travis Bickle - he has his back turned to society, which according to this poster is urban decay and pornography. He's solitary, with his shoulders hunched as if to protect himself from a harsh, cruel world that is full of filth and scum that needs to be washed away and nothing really stands out about him. You'd probably lose him in the crowd, if he wasn't standing alone. I also wonder how many people got tricked by that tagline. It sounds like it would be perfectly at home on a poster for a movie like Fame or A Star Is Born. That's a great tagline-- it (and the poster in general) is the way Travis would describe his own story, which is perfect for the film. So much of that film's brilliance is the way it puts you in that character and the poster's absolutely perfect. It feels like the poster for the film Travis is imagining them making about him.
