So I'm actually just interested in talking about what movies are greenlighted this year, rather than just hear about people's high school experiences. New dets on Refn's new movie, sounds interesting: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2017/01/11/the-avenging-silence-nicolas-winding-refn-plot-details

They converge on a special few blessed by God, who are recognized by their good works/prosperity. Anyvay, Bob Odenkirk is in a new Netflix produced movie that mixes the plot of a rom-com with noir: http://www.indiewire.com/2017/01/girlfriends-day-trailer-bob-odenkirk-netflix-comedy-amber-tamblyn-1201769486/

So Diesel has like Seagal levels of self regard and character protection happening, right? That always results in lovely movies. Still love Steven Seagal's tantrum on the set of Executive Decision.

But good catch! lol, that's a very apt way to win tickets for this movie. Other ways include being given a ticket as a distraction as you're being served papers for a divorce, as a sweetener to show up at court for late alimony payments, and shoved in as a bookmark on a tattered Men's Health magazine focusing on HGH found at a free clinic .

AlexF posted:I've seen John Wick 2 five times now (working on the German dub and all...) and it didn't get old yet. Quite the opposite. There's so much stuff happening and not explicitly spelled out that you'll pick up new things with every viewing. Without spoilering anything: I still don't know how you even begin to put together and then shoot something like the last set piece. Glad to hear some good word on the last set piece, that's where the first movie stumbled. It's something pretty common in action movies, blowing their load in a setpiece in the middle of the movie.

muscles like this! posted:Saw a trailer for the Taken TV series (which is a thing) and they somehow had a slow cover of REM's "The One I Love" So disappointed to see that the trailer that played before John Wick 2 for GitS still was using the Depeche Mode slowdown version of Enjoy the Silence. What a lovely trailer. It's amazing how much better it is with the latter substituion in the music (to the anime soundtrack).

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Er... really? The bad guys weren't that batshit in The Raid, they were kinda on the same level as standard movie criminals. The most batshit thing is the main villain owning the apartment building, in my view. Thats what I meant. Also a building just wall to wall criminals.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Yeah, plus there's a good proportion of people who react to everything going on by just holing up in their apartments and who absolutely poo poo themselves when the cops get in. It's basically just a ghetto apartment block that the crime lord owns and also keeps his people in because why wouldn't you. Yeah when I said you would have to change the setting into something like the Purge to have it set in America, I also didn't mean it wasn't possible to film it, but that it shouldn't be filmed at all. Like a movie where heroic cops go into a poor tenement building to be torn apart by its rabid and craven residents is a neo-Nazi wet dream, and I don't see how its gonna get greenlit (or that it should). It's not the 80s anymore. I hope.

CelticPredator posted:I'm weird because I liked the Dredd trailer and it's what got me to watch the film. People can differ and all, but I am absolutely flummoxed that a lean, mean, action movie in the 80s vein (shoot through the membrane, yeah!) is advertised by pop electronic music and a huge emphasis on slowed drug trances. It should have showcased what the movie was, brutal action. Aren't trailers supposed to show that? edit; or even a better version of the movie. You don't come away from that trailer pumping your fist. It's more like a disinterested shrug.

Samuel Clemens posted:I can't believe we had such a long discussion about recent schlock without anyone bringing up Pan or Jupiter Ascending. Jupitor Ascending is the only movie mentioned that merit a retrospective after a few years. It has the type of all out sincere type of detailed lunacy that the best type of beloved cult movies tend to have (from Robot Jox to I don't know, Near Dark or something). The other movies mentioned (Suicide Squad, Pan, etc) are crass commercial failures with nothing interesting to exhume. MacheteZombie posted:Yup, she's stone loving cold in the pic.

Once the team arrives to rescue her she kills all the agents in their safe base (mostly computer jockeys) since everything they do is super classified and they're expendable in her eyes. lol well that's incredibly dumb. And didn't know Suicide Squad's BO numbers. All I know is that I sure as hell don't want to watch it.

dont even fink about it posted:I am not sure there was much actually straight-up wrong with anything in Jupiter Ascending, unless you hate young adult movies on principle. It was a weird movie and after Cloud Atlas I'm willing to let the Wachowskis try just about anything. I have to say I found Cloud Atlas disappointing. Maybe its because I only caught it recently and so its been building hype in my head for years, but I only found a couple of the narratives interesting, and thought they way they played with each other unsurprising and largely inconsequential.

kiimo posted:This seems like the right moment to mention that Gore Verbinski spent countless hours cutting trailers and TV spots that he wouldn't let marketing professionals cut and Cure for Wellness made 4 million opening weekend behind a movie about dogs that tried to kill dogs and is in the fourth week of its run so anyway that's pretty much over. The thing I was asked most about that movie was "what is that about?" and that's not generally a good sign. When your best movies are The Ring and Pirates of the loving Caribbean (I mean, they're okay at best) I still don't understand why he got so much lee-way....like I'm all for artistic direction but I would hope that would happen to a better artist. And boo on Simon getting the chair on the new X-Men movie, and it being another disaster-athon. loving yawn. I guess the draw will be multiple cities being blown up instead of multiple cities. The last people cared about how destructive things could get on the movie screen was ID4, and mostly people remember that for the inspirational speech.

DeimosRising posted:Some of those old school British guys still have a bit of the ancient actors are basically hookers perspective going on. We worship them now but for most of recorded history an actor was something like a cross between a carnie, a prostitute, and a beggar. It's not a noble artistic calling, it's the poo poo you do cause you're too much of a lush and a fuckup to make something of yourself. Sounds like being musician.

Very, this is a metaphorical character, this is the metaphor we are working with. Which isn't necessarily a problem, but an awful lot of it comes from this on-the-nose dialog. That said, Jackson does a lot with it, he's perfectly cast. Uh than these characters are invisible b/c there was nothing to the characters that Bryan Cranston didn't bring to it.
