I don't know why people see the Marvel method such as such an evil awful thing, I rather have poo poo planned out and released in a nice tri to quarterly pace of enjoyable movies. That and saying that Avatar was influenced by the success of the MCU is pretty false seeing how there were always going to be a lot of sequels for it because James Cameron is a mad man.

JB50 posted:I hate how in recent films (not just Batman) theyre doing this thing where they argue that the heros ARE the problem because the bad guys come to fight them. Thats like saying the police are the problem when people commit crimes. Its a dumb argument, and if the heros werent there youd all be slaves or dead. The same people also love to talk about how the entire MCU is fascistic and right wing propaganda instead of fun pulp movies where you don't look into deeper meaning or give a poo poo about how good it looks from a cinematographic level.

Dapper_Swindler posted:well yeah. there have always been wannabe "culture critics" who loving HATE batman/super heros movies/comics/games/etc. it kinda of a fad with them. yeah some of them have good points. but most of its about the violence and "toxic masculinity"(sure its loving real but i dont think batman or captain america are it) or how people will become right wingers because of it. most of them are bunch of selfhating leftie west coasters.  It was that Macintosh guy who posted his opinion on the Feminist Frequency twitter like a coward to get the blame on his friend.

steinrokkan posted:Fortunately for autists everywhere there's "the death of the author" argument, which they can invoke to pretend movies aren't often made as part of an ongoing conversation, of which the author is as much of a part as their work. Its like how people always say the ending of The Killing Joke is ambiguous or that Batman killed the Joker despite their being a script from Alan Moore saying that the ending is just him and Joker laughing maniacally

From the early reviews Dr. Strange seems to be a normal Marvel movie except with a memorable score and interesting visuals which means Jay might like it; actually Jay is pretty fair to those Marvel movies, its Rich and Mike who go CD on them.

dreezy posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdTNuZWA4mY Its amazing how long it took me to see Dawn of the Dead considering it was filmed in my town, shame the Mall has changed so much, they got rid of that JC Penny (replaced it with a movie theater) where the sliding down the escalator scene happened. The fountains were they have one zombie collecting coins were removed last year. The food court is where the ice rink is now a days. They had the first big zombie walks there until the event got too big for the Mall. They also had a zombie museum behind the arcade, but I think they moved/ran out of money. Anyway I love this movie other than local pride, I like it mainly because its more of an adventure than straight up horror flick.

The finale of Dawn of the Dead is great and the end credits are my favorite in any movie ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vdAV1XXJog Also Dawn has a lot of great zombies, my personal favorite being the one who takes a rifle and spends the rest of the movie pointing the rifle to his head spooky like this! posted:So why is Dawn of the Dead so hard to find/out of print?

MrSlam posted:I used to. The early episodes were pretty fun. Then the episodes started getting longer and I just couldn't enjoy it anymore. I think his schtick works for 5-10 minute stretches on old goofy exploitation movies but it's so hard to give a poo poo for him riffing on the Village People movie for a half hour. Now that Youtube's changed their popularity algorithm again I wonder if he'll shorten the videos and encourage people to comment more. Phelous is a guy I will always watch even though his schitick is annoying to most people.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:Actually now that I think about it does Disney hate video games or something? It's not just Star Wars, I can't think of any games that have made use of the Avengers' popularity either. As for Star Wars games, I wish more people took story cues for KOTOR2, but then again that game was written by someone who hated the themes of Star Wars.

ceaselessfuture posted:In one of their older Plinkett reviews (the Abrams Star Trek one, I think), they made fun of the audience for being popcorn eating, pop-swilling masses that want explosions and lens flares. Maybe I'm putting words into RLM's mouth but I think they're criticizing one aspect of a total audience -- ie, the easily influenced, mass-consuming, uncritical fanboys of both franchises that, instead of making their subjects deeper, richer and more interesting, are actually bringing them down with their lack of standards. The two Star Wars nerds bowing at the release of the Phantom Menace is another example. That blatant stupidity helps no one and just comes off as really pathetic.

Jonas Albrecht posted:Folding Ideas is pretty good for film analysis, but he has some gimmicky puppet routine in his older videos that might put some people off. Speaking of Ellis I'm also a fan of Kyle Kallgren who posts on these forums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O6OTVyybZU Shame like stuff like his Man who fell to Earth review is lost because of blip closing and it probably getting blocked since the gimmick of the review was it was done all with covers in Bowie songs. oohhboy posted:History Buffs is really quite good. He understands what the film is trying to achieve compared to the history and offers potential alterations to the movie that is in line with the whole of the movie that isn't demanding it to conform to a movie that doesn't exist. His recent Apollo 13 episode was great Also he showed me something I didn't know when talking about Private Ryan, where when the GI shoots the surrendering "Germans" after mocking them for not being able to understand them; that they were speaking Czech and trying to tell him that they were press ganged by the Nazis.

Atlas Hugged posted:Film can be a collaborative, if corporate, process. Not every director needs to be a visionary. Some guys can get away with just setting up a shot, giving basic directions to actors, and making sure everyone else is doing their job and keeping things on time and under budget. This is why studios loving love Bay. Atlas Hugged posted:Snyder is a lot like Tim Burton actually in that they both have a single trick. It's a really good trick when it matches the source material, but it's often really inappropriate for the movies that they end up directing. It's really no surprise that Snyder got his start in music videos and commercials. He's the master of a really awesome, highly stylized shot that gets you excited enough to buy a product. That works fine for a movie like 300, where it's not supposed to be anything but six-packs and limbs getting hacked off. This unfortunately gave him the reputation as being the go to guy for adapting critically acclaimed comic books into movies and he's really not well suited for it. Watchmen almost works just because of the quality of the source material, but it's still a poorly paced movie that had to cut a lot of the more intellectual and emotional aspects of the comic just to fit its runtime. So you end up having this really stylistic but often incoherent film.

temple posted:Marvel movies work because they hit the right chord at the right time. There is no mystery or genius about it. It was a long time in the coming but people were ready for light hearted action movies they could take their kids to. As seen with the superman, spiderman, and BvS films, people don't care about serious heroes any more but those films would have been massive 20 years ago. Movies like Batman and Robin, The Last Action Hero, and more were family friendly action films but they didn't click because adults saw them as childish. Eventually, the 80's-90s man children was grew up, started having kids, and there was a huge niche that no one had exploited since Indiana Jones. Pixar also had a huge hand in creating a market for witty family films that prepared the way for their live action counterparts. Marvel movies to me are more like old Star Trek episodes than any previous super hero movies.
