Young Freud posted:Can't believe that in the discussion about '90s soundtracks, no one's mentioned The Saint. I didn't remember anything but the theme by Orbital but checking the rest was of the songs I certainly approve. It even has some Dreadzone from back when their ambient dubs were harder than the beats.

The Saint + Master of Disguise probably makes for a delightful double bill. Edit: The Saint + The Jackal if you are not feeling all that adventurous. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Mar 11, 2017 |

raditts posted:The second Hitman movie actually isn't too far off from what you describe, at least for the first act. Then the second act is kind of like The Professional but not as good. The movie kind of shits the bed in the third act but to its credit they did capture 47's "character" pretty well. I thought it was a lot better than the first but low of a bar as that is, I seem to be the only one who thinks so. 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). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alQlJDRnQkE The second trailer spills the beans and tells you that 47 is not the bad guy. It is terrible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv7lgQ8hiz0 They had the right idea to start things of, but I guess they thought "47 is not the bad guy" couldn't be a third act twist or they were simply not capable of building a movie around that. Such a shame. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Basically, that one scene from Mechanic: Resurrection is the closest thing you'll ever have to a great adaptation of the Hitman games. (note: lovely upload designed to not get taken down by YouTube's automatic copyright detection) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hjBCy5kOaY

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I actually just watched Sin City 2 on Netflix the other night and kinda liked it. The CGI looked really bad in parts and the writing suffered from the usual Frank Miller problems, but the short with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the gambler was legitimately great, and while the other two were way more uneven, they at least had the decency to put a lot of Marv in those two. The problem with the gambler segment is that Powers Boothe character dies just a couple days later in a different segment. "Everyone will know that I beat you" doesn't carry much weight when the big cheese croaks.

I think it's amazing that it struck a particular nerve with a property like Ghost in the Shell tho. A property that is all about fake bodies and appearances. And then the movie came out and it is revealed that the character is a kidnapped Japanese girl who was turned into a Western looking cyborg and brainwashed with a Western identity as an experiment. It reminds me of how people couldn't stop bitching about pictures of the Power Ranger suits when in the actual movie there is only a handful of shots of them being in the suit and not sitting in a Zord (at which point they have open helmets). I'm starting to think these movie studios are deliberately loving with us and they feed on our outrage to fuel future, underperforming movie properties.

My favorite thing about King Arthur was picking out those Guy Ritchie-isms (like that whole back-and-forth dialogue with Roose Bolton or the shoulder cams during the chase sequence). That, and the heavy breathing being a recurring theme on the soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLVtqVxZgYI

well why not posted:King Arthur is fine, but it's pretty mixed tonally. Jude Law definitely was pulled from a more serious movie that doesn't have a character named 'Kung Fu George' in it. Also, Eric Bana kills a horse about a minute into the movie and it's given no attention. I don't think he killed the horse, they just parted ways

I think the worst and most awkward thing about The Mummy is the humor. It just doesn't fit the movie. You're dealing with monsters and ancient evils and you want to make it lighthearted at times? It's so drat weird. Last week I went to see a different movie in the cinema and after all the typical trailers they showed a scene from The Mummy as a "don't use your phone during the movie" message. I found it amusing and figured it was an alternative silly take they shot just for the purpose of that message. Turns out that besides adding the old Nokia ringtone sound that entire scene is in the movie, unchanged. Maybe they looked at Marvel and DC and said "they've got jokes, our universe needs jokes too" ? Or did they look at Brendan Fraser's The Mummy movies and didn't realize those could pull of humor because the main characters weren't so serious and they were going for a playful, adventurous vibe?

I knew Arnold Vosloo and Billy Zane looked like clones of each other, but that is just insulting. Edit: Oh, looks like his role wasn't some sort of mummy.

Does the new Transformers movie have rapid fire aspect ratio changes like its predecessor? That drove me absolutely crazy back then and I still don't know how I sat out more than two hours of it. I'm not a movie snob, but that was just straight-up garbage (and then there was the movie itself). I have really low bar for movies, but that will absolutely be a dealbreaker this time. I'd rather watch The Mummy again.

Snowman_McK posted:There's a really good gag in Pain and Gain that, I think, sums up Bay's view of America. The three morons are doing a home defence seminar, talking about how to deal with a rapist. Mark's character, Daniel Lugo, brings up his gorgeous trophy girlfriend and asks for a volunteer, saying 'who wants to be a rapist?' and the entire crowd stick their hand up. There's twpo interpretations of that scene. Either Bay thinks rape is hilarious, or he's showing you the sort of people that do: A bunch of sad middle aged men. My interpretation is that all these (married) men have the hots for the girlfriend to the point that they don't mind playing something as horrible as a rapist, just so they can get really close to her for a short while. So yes I agree that it's really a bunch of sad middle aged man, taking an opportunity to be lecherous with a bullshit excuse to justify their behavior to their partners.

Snowman_McK posted:That's in keeping with my reading. I guess the two readings are more separated by the intended (loaded term, I know) audience reaction. Are you supposed to laugh with these characters ('haha, yeah, I'd be a rapist for her, lol) or at them? It might be both. In that scene you are looking at three scumbags "integrating" themselves in a gated community full of upstanding, polite (but really just rich) citizens. And yet those citizens leap at the opportunity to roleplay the opposite of the values they preach, just to get close to a beautiful woman. These people live the life that Lugo (Wahlberg) has been longing for, but at that moment they are closer to him than they would ever want to admit (to both others and to themselves).

Valerian isn't even out in France and the rest of Europe yet. It feels like they're betting on the home game. If they're releasing it for IMAX they're going to face stiff competition from Dunkirk though. The cinema I frequent has a partial schedule up to the 2nd of August and it's six showings of Dunkirk every single day, so the IMAX room is already taken.
