Is a fictionalized Obama mentioned in any of the Transformers movies? I wanna say yes but I don't remember any details - I just remember W looking like a bit of an oaf on Air Force One in the first.

Asiina posted:I spend most of my time on these something awful forums playing mafia, I need to see this movie so bad! This might be the wrong place for it, but I've never been quite able to wrap my head around how forums Mafia stuff works. I played a lot of Mafia on high school field trips and whatnot, and the dynamic always had a lot to do with reading body language and playing off existing social dynamics. What substitutes in for that when you've got text and strangers? Is it more of a rational actor type situation where folks judge identities based off voting patterns and incentives, or does it lead to the same goofy trainwrecks as the Mafia I grew up with?

No joke I'd be excited for a Diablo II adaptation that's just a miserable and deliberately repetitive tone piece about the impossible expectations placed upon heroes, the absence of meaningful support structures, and the frightful mundanity of a warrior's life. An inverted Spring Breakers, if you will. All other Blizzard properties I'll pass on

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:High fantasy is bad. The only type of fantasy I've been able to get into for years now is the kind that has at least one foot firmly planted in other pulp styles like heist stories and corporate thrillers. It feels like there's so much more of a license to go balls out with weird fantasy worldbuilding stuff if you're anchoring yourself in something that's still far from highbrow but more traditional, as opposed to something like this trailer where I'm like, man, there is next to nothing it can call its own.

confused posted:I haven't been paying attention to this movie at all. Are they creating basically new characterizations of Batman and Superman for this thing? Or is it just going to be really bad? Supercar's post is accurate, but something else that might be confusing you is that this clip is probably some kind of "What if?" scenario that depicts Batman's fear of an unchecked Superman, and we're most likely seeing it either because Batman's head is getting hosed with by Luthor or just because he's that paranoid. So if you're asking "Does Superman actually have an underground prison in the desert guarded by Super-Gestapo that he strides menacingly past in order to unmask Batman and then scowl at the cowl", the answer is "nah, probably not".

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Nobody argued that about Prometheus except its detractors. I mean like some arguments in favor of Prometheus center on David being the viewpoint character and finding great amusement in the petty, hubristic follies of most of the human cast, which can be easy to mistake for "it's great because it's a piece of poo poo!" if, perhaps, you're willfully dense

The original short was absolutely wretched, and the footage in the trailer that comes from it is still wretched, but some of the newer footage at least looks like it's trying to have an aesthetic, so that's progress

soapgish posted:No, you actually have nothing to say to the contrary that the happier artist isn't as good as the unhappy one as it's a classic, world-versed idea for correct reason. And you have nothing to say about the Wachowski batting average which more than speaks for itself. You may disagree in some blunt sense but specifically, you're just stupid and an rear end in a top hat, and continuing the derail. Group-Think High School has determined I'm an idiot and I proudly wear that badge. Move on. Just curious, has talking like this ever worked out for you

The Saddest Rhino posted:speaking of max landis is it true that Eisenberg's performance in Batman v Superman meant to be echoing his behaviour? because it's hilarious and that speech he gave in the charity ball is one of (very very few) highlights of the film The speech at the charity ball felt really uncomfortably close to home, as someone who has witnessed years worth of nerds trying to make speeches, completely misreading the room after some initial minor success, and slowly and brutally dying on stage by their own hands

I feel like folks who harp on him for 'the same performance over and over' tend not to really articulate what that performance is, beyond puzzling and increasingly outdated accusations that he's Michael Cera

More than anything else I'm impressed with the shot composition. When the rope comes into frame, as if to offer the downed Faraci a point on which to rest, is a great little beat

The setup is worth it too, because it's Swanberg mounting a really sweet and earnest, if somewhat ineloquent, defense of the goofy mumblecore films that he and his friends make, punctuated by Faraci making GBS threads on them with minimal effort and smug distance

Yeah I have no idea whether it's thematically appropriate for Assassin's Creed because I know jack poo poo about those games, but it's a spooky and badass track so I'm all for it in this broody, stylized action movie. For those who know more about the franchise, what makes the song stick out like a sore thumb?

Hat Thoughts posted:"a commentary on body image" or "The appearance and weight of the average American" is immaterial to my point which is that casting (skinny) Zach Galifanaikis and especially Isla Fisher kills the physical gag. It is significantly less funny than it could be because, for example in that changing room scene where you have Gal Gadot towering over her& then Isla Fisher makes a joke about how the most excitement she has is a terrible sex life (that her character doesn't realize is a joke[?]) none of it reads as funny as it could because Isla Fisher is still very good looking. This isn't something new or unexpected, I mean it's a big budget movie of course they're not going to actually cast someone normal looking, it's like every bad rom-com ever where you have the attractive "unattractive" girl/guy & then the conventionally attractive conceited girl/guy (who's all wrong for the protagonist, duhh). Hey for the record I find it real drat exhausting to even begin to discuss subjects like this, but I just want to confirm that you're 100% on the mark, thank you

Sir Kodiak posted:No, I don't think a trailer centered on how awful it is to lock someone in a cage is trying to get you to root for the people who did so. Yeah like if I had to make a guess about the emotional framing of this all based on the trailer, I'd say you're probably meant to not root for Morgan because she kills folks and is scary, you're not meant to root for the people locking her up because they're being mean to her, and you're probably meant to root for Kate Mara because she's brought in after the fact so it's not her fault as such But, y'know, 'supposed to' is a weak idea in the first place. I'm on Team Morgan
