I couldn't enjoy pacific rim because the whole movie I'm like "Why don't they adapt some of these robot-mounted weapons onto tanks or ships or planes and just have a much more effective conventional military". Spent the entire movie with a million "why don't they just..." questions using the films own internal logic. The opening act was fun, charlie day is a treat, but like Transformers it just became a bunch of noisy metal and meat.

Are the people getting hyped for the orc movie the same people who were hyped for valerian?

I look forward to watching it on Netflix when it comes out, since it will cost me nothing.

I'm honestly a little worried how many movies Netflix had to promise to give Jaden in exchange for Will Smith saying fairy lives don't matter on camera though.

If you want some WW2 era semi fictional stuff I really recommend the gently caress out of Manhattan. Both seasons were excellent... all 7 of us who actually watched the show agree :negative: Why WGN of all networks spent a ton of money on this project will forever remain a mystery, but I'm glad they did. It's not actual combat stuff though, it takes place almost entirely in New Mexico.

It's my understand that a ton of nuance gets lost in the translation. Like a really clever joke with a few minutes of setup isn't going to work. But the fat lady farts and falls down, that works in any language. Same with lovely quips and cgi and every else that sucks about movies today. At this point the rest of the world probably just associates Hollywood movies with that kind of poo poo, the way we associate Bollywood movies with giant extravagant musicals.

Everyone in Hollywood does the whole "Oh my god it's such an honor to work with [every single other person in Hollywood] they're such an amazing talented blah loving blah" but there are a few people who take it do a new, higher level of transparent, obvious bullshit. Fegi and Andrew Garfield are the worst offenders that I can think of right now.

Occasionally someone will be honest and it's always refreshing and great to hear. Will Smith, like 15 years later, finally got to poo poo on Wild West a bit, because it was 15 years old and he's Will Smith, what are you gonna do about it? Patton Oswalt's famous stories about shooting Blade 3, starring Wesley Snipes Blade, and the best is the commentary Frakes and Sirtis did for Star Trek: Insurrection where they got drunk and just poo poo on every aspect of the movie the whole time.

Now that I think about it, I'm a little surprised they didn't mention Rich's take on the film, which is that they're literally shooting the ghostbusters logo in the balls at the end, and that sums up their opinion of the original movies, fans of the original movies, and the franchise as a whole.

Firefly was a lot better when it first aired and felt really original. Which explains why over the last 15 years or whatever every show has ripped off every idea Firefly had, so now it feels hackneyed and unoriginal.

Also, Whedon wrote a great 2 hour pilot and filmed it, but then Fox said gently caress you and your show, now you have to write an entirely new opening episode and try to reintroduce all your characters and premise a second time, but it still has to make sense chronologically after the pilot in case we change our mind later. That's how we got the train robbery episode. Considering the circumstances it was pretty good.
