DeathSandwich posted:Couple pages back, but I could of swore at a couple of points it's been said that Vin Diesel is notoriously hard to work with and even got called out by The Rock during Fast and the Furious filming. It seems like he's usually pretty lovely behind closed doors and is more than willing to take his ball and go home when he gets called out on his poo poo. I thought it was basically revealed this was just primer for Vin Diesel going on Wrestlemania or something.

Wasn't in school, but I was in band and interested in music theory and watched Amadeus on my own (probably over two sittings) and loved it. Still love it. Historical veracity aside, Salieri is such a great character and the Requiem composition scene will stick with me for a long time.

We used to have Milo and Otis on VHS when I was young, and I was pretty bummed when I read about the alleged stuff behind the scenes on it. Wiki says it was never fully verified, but hard to excise that smoke even if there was never a fire... I couldn't watch it now without just thinking about that the whole time. (Or most animal-starring Hollywood movies at this point)

Man, in 1999 the Matrix was like... that whole bit starting with the armory/metal detector/lobby shootout/morpheus rescue/helicopter crash/bullet dodge/subway fight/final awakening was relentless. It was like when T2 hits that point of no return midway through at the Dyson's where it doesn't let up for the remainder. I love that whole sequence. 2+3 got pretty out there, when they came out I remember trying to look to the highway chase/staircase fight as redeeming of all the other weird poo poo, but then 3 really lost me for the most part. There's a handful of bits I like across the two movies but I haven't seen them in forever and I wasn't engaged by pretty much any of the Zion stuff.

21 Muns posted:The only explanation I can possibly imagine for this is that the remaster team outright lost the original coloring, and figured "gently caress it, it doesn't matter, we can just guess what the original colors were based on context" because they were very bad at their job. It was actually overseen/produced by Brian Bolland, the original artist. The Flex Mentallo recolor was also done, according to Doherty, "in close collaboration" with Quitely. Pretty odd. Most of these edits are explicitly/intentionally done to make the comics look more 'modern' which in the 2000s means muted more realistic colors. Not saying that to defend it, but I don't think they set out trying to recreate the colors at all. They probably got directed to get rid of some of the more 'garish' colors of the originals or whatever, for presumably stupid reasons.

Mulan was always my favorite 90s Disney movie, Aladdin/Lion King/B&tB were so popular that I was trying to be cool by liking that and Hunchback when many of my peers did not (really liked the architecture and gothic vibe to the latter). The whole avalanche stampede part was too cool for a Disney cartoon.

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).

The part about the kid who locks live animals in a fridge in the forest is always the creepiest part I think of, mostly because of how the "grooming" is described where he feeds the dog for months or whatever to lure it in. It was the kid who is MISSING in that trailer, IIRC.

I assumed a lot of people died offscreen during the pterodactyl attack since there were so many people on the streets and so many dinos swooping around, they just only focused on one person and in a way normally reserved for a minor villain or something. Maybe all the other people were just good runners. e: It's mostly just as ambiguous as possible. But I like the old guy grabbing 2 margaritas as he runs.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but IIRC Predators has a little mini-bit toward the end where the nu-Arnold teams up with the smaller predator to take down the alpha dude. Maybe that was limited to him releasing the smaller guy from captivity, I forget.

It isn't like adult Nathan Drake is a radically inventive new character, either. Charismatic Holland with a solid Sully could make for a fun mentor buddy movie, something between adult Indy and the Tintin movie from a few years ago. The levels of the game they allude to involve teen Drake trying to steal a relevant thing from a museum in Colombia and encountering an older thief who was hired to steal it too. Older guy has standard change of heart when his boss wants to kill the kid and takes him under his wing for a lifetime of adventure. e: I guess I'll say that I find that idea mildly more interesting than another Indy/National Treasure 35-year old white guy archaeologist. But Uncharted doesn't really lend itself to interesting movies for the story, only for maybe the setpieces that are less compelling when you aren't actually playing.

PriorMarcus posted:Bay is one of the greatest directors working today specifically because he uses big budget Hollywood franchises to show how loving ugly modern day America is. The fact the films make billions of dollars is all the proof you need that he's right. If the audiences and critics all took the wrong message though, and the only people who recognize the commentary were already 'in on the joke', it's hard for me to see that as a noble accomplishment vs. movie war profiteering. Seems like his satire only strengthened and reinforced those institutions while he preached to the choir. What is it meant to achieve to remedy that ugliness, if anything?

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yeah, it'd be the exact opposite of tone-deaf. A movie that had a bunch of trailers showing dude gleefully murdering a Congress full of party-I-dont-like politicians over some political philosophy when there was just a shooting at a baseball game and the NRA is sending out those emails would feel pretty tone-deaf to me. I see enough people calling for that on Facebook already. In a world with the Purge and Battle Royale and such I don't think it would be commendable/radical really, just a movie about if James Hodgkinson found a magic book.
