Its if I remember skeletons soecifically, and its one of the many laws that they have they can apply to gently caress over media producers who arent properly connected. They have another whole set of media laws that exist to protect the party image such as no time travel (that alters history such that the party doesnt exist or is portrayed badly) Just recently they passed a law that put caps on the number of Wuxia style adventure shows that can be made at one time, person who passed the law is affiliated with multiple production houses that produce them and they all get first pass at the quota amounts.

Of course, they made an exception because hypocrisy.

I saw 2014 Godzilla twice, and the 2nd time we got DBOX tickets because they were having a promotion. It was actually pretty neat. The seats don't shake per se, more like they're on little platters that let them tilt, rotate a bit and there are controls to disable or make 1-3 strength. We were both laughing when it starts on a helicopter swooping around and the seats kind of moved with the swoop. I assumed it would be a distraction from the movie but we ended up having fun - for the right movie/attitude at least. Not worth the high price it normally commands though (although even IMAX pushes that for me).

Brett Ratner criticizes Rotten Tomatoes http://ew.com/movies/2017/03/23/ratner-tomatoes-scores/ quote:“The worst thing that we have in today’s movie culture is Rotten Tomatoes,” said Ratner, whose company RatPac Entertainment co-financed Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (among dozens of other Warner Bros. titles). “I think it’s the destruction of our business. I have such respect and admiration for film criticism. When I was growing up film criticism was a real art. And there was intellect that went into that. And you would read Pauline’s Kael’s reviews, or some others, and that doesn’t exist anymore. Now it’s about a number. A compounded number of how many positives vs. negatives. Now it’s about, ‘What’s your Rotten Tomatoes score?’ And that’s sad, because the Rotten Tomatoes score was so low on Batman v Superman I think it put a cloud over a movie that was incredibly successful.”

poo poo, haven't checked this thread in like a week and now I'm pages behind. Oh well:Mierenneuker posted:The first trailer depicts 47 as some kind of unstoppable force, something out of a horror movie. It pretty much keeps the narrative from the first act. It is good (even tho it lacks the stealthy approach that defies the character/games). I had to at least appreciate the fact that 47 was only a "good guy" insofar as (do I need to spoiler this? does anyone care?) he was protecting secret girl hitman so he could get to her father, who was his assassination target and he didn't really have a moral imperative driving his actions.

So Ratner's complaint is that Rotten Tomatoes turned people off from seeing BvS, a film that critics hated but audiences still went to in droves? Uh... Yeah, RT sucks but he doesn't have a leg to stand on there.

American Akira is back again for the 4000th time!quote:Since 2002, Warner Bros. has tried and failed to come up with a live-action take on Akira. The hugely popular franchise is an iconic one for manga and anime enthusiasts, but Warner Bros. hasn’t been able to get it right. Since the studio acquired rights for the film, five directors have left the project for various reasons. It’s been quite some time since fans have heard anything about Hollywood’s live-action take on Akira. http://comicbook.com/anime/2017/03/24/warner-bros-akira-live-action-film-update-director-anime/ Announcing this right in the middle of very vocal objections to whitewashing and white saviors in recent media like Iron Fist, Ghost in the Shell, and Deathnote seems like bad timing. Whatever happens, this movie will be an amazing clusterfrak as I've been predicting for over a decade now.

Tars Tarkas posted:So much Sandler Adam Sandler legit makes me sad. He popped up on a recent Conan sketch, among many others 'auditioning' to pay Han Solo. It was a mixed bag, but Sandler's was by far the worst. It was amazing to hear the audience excited to see him (as they were for everyone) and hear that enthusiasm vanish.

With time running out, Kenny must commandeer a prototype smart bike to escape the Kinder and save his friend from project AKiRA. Staring that white kid from The Last Airbender, some other cracker, and, uh, I guess Angelababy as Kelly the reporter sure why not.

I just saw the trailer for the Baywatch movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyKOgnaf0BU Is it just me, or does that feel more like an attempt at a parody of Baywatch than an adaptation? HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:DBOX is way stupider, I'm sorry. I doubt there was a smellovision surcharge too for that matter. At least DBOX has some potential to be worth the price of admission. The problem is that it looks like it's being blindly shoehorned into every major blockbuster without regard to what kinds of movies might be well suited for it.

Wanna make a slow paced prestige Oscar Bait drama about a dysfunctional family of LBGT+ veterans of WW1 battling cancer and racism that is specifically planned from pre-production to make the most of the DBOX technology. Like the seat really goes haywrire during the most emotional scenes.
