Of course there's risk involved, Blade Runner was historically a bad bet from a business perspective. But it lives on beyond the red line in the accounts. Chasing that magic is just a cynical move that anybody should be able to see through by now.

This isn't something I'm even absolute about, I watch the Evil Dead series since its essentially the same thing, but I have to ask why are they putting this out now, unmotivated, after an eternity. The director is enough to make some hopeful, but after all the poo poo Hollywood is putting out breathlessly trying to keep their properties fresh, I'm certain this will be a Terminator Genesys more than a Terminator 2.

I suppose its a dumb ideal, but it already seems like it's heading in that direction. Hollywood, the established studios, are only making a handful of titanic films, and the tide recedes further before every wave crashes. I think the future would be in crowdfunding, or at least a more professional, or mixed version. Movies have run their course for cultural dominance, and you can see only more and more niche properties are being made. If people are putting up money in advance in numbers, you can use that as a straw poll for the kind of business it will do, whether broad, niche or just a handful of freaks who like this thing toomuch. Cinemas will definitely become hobby places, like bowling alleys and karaoke bars now that streaming services come into ubiquity. That leaves basically no room for money in distribution, other than residuals coming in from those streaming services. That's just the background of my hot take, apologies for this dumb derail.

Yeah, you need to see the Hitchcock interviews done by Truffaut. Being down on a movie because it exists to make money ignores the reasons why movies are here in the first place, and the space afforded by creators to make something and truly new.

If you haven't seen Prince Avalanche, he essentially is Jack Black in that. And it's terrific.

Hirsch has probably the best quality ratio for projects outside of Paul Rudd (coincedentally), and I don't know, Matthew Mcconaughey.

Which is still of course dwarfed by Daniel Day Lewis, but it's a lot easier for that to happen when you only made like five movies.

edit: I see I'm not the first one to notice, but I'm really just joking. Just cuz there's a couple of movies addressing a belief system believed by millions but relatively unknown by most Americans shouldn't be a cause for stifling them. I just hope that Pixar can actually tell a story that entirely works, instead of Del Toro's attempt which was good at parts, but he cannot handle emotional climaxes and coherent characters arc effectively since, I don't know, Pan's Labrynth? Or maybe Hellboy 2....

That's the best trailer I've ever seen.

The reviews haven't been kind, so it might be the best version of it. Would love to see Theron go up against her former castmate Keanu sometime tho.

The best trailer of the moment though is that Thor one. It's the most rewatchable one I've seen since Fury Road.

I think they're just like 10 quadrant-y. They're hard enough action for teenagers but they're not so violent or sexy you can't take your family. The Rock has his own fanbase. There are some decent female roles and there's a lot of talk about familial responsibility and relationships. The cast is ethnically ambiguous and pretty brown but I don't think the movie reads as, like, "black" to foreign markets or anything (slash maybe Hollywood is wrong and the world just isn't that racist).

I saw Kingsman on a market research dealy screening last month. If I the first one was a 9.5/10. i'd give the second a solid 8.

The cut I saw had filler dialogue, missing scenes, and missing visual effects though. Excited to see it again in a few months and see how the final stages of production better it.

I found the first film mildly distasteful re its political slant. Is this one as reactionary as the first one?

Do I really have to get into it? There was a level of nastiness, from the beginning scenes of gunning down and torturing Afghanis, to the celeberation of jingoistic and reactionary values, to the bad guys being effete liberals concerned about climate change, that reminded me of action movies I used to watch in the 80s, just way better shot.

I would say that the establishing shot and narration: Of an old man holding a baby over a pit filled with children's skulls as the narration explains that the spartans dont accept physical imperfection or sicklyness; Is atleath some evidence of them being considered les then great by the film itself. All the rest of the film does use shot compsition to place them as the difiant righteous underdogs, but is still the biased re-telling of a spartan himself.

I guess the doubt would be: is knowlege of that bias enought to justify filming its subjects as good and grand ? Is it irresponsible of the film maker to not go further with the implications of what the spartans actually are?

300 is probably the most popular movie of the alt right. Racist doofuses are currently gathering in Berkely dressed up like actors in a Snyder movie as we type.

This was proved false by the way. Also wasn't the bottom of the ocean it was in a lake in Califonia. Also also wasn't arsenic based life it was still carbon based it just appeared that the organism had swapped phosphorus, an essential building block of life, with arsenic. It hadn't, though.
