Monster Trucks - I'm going to predict this movie will be what 20-teens get nostolgic for in 2030, but it will do awful at the box office.

Actually it looks like unironically fun and good and will have a lukewarm box office reception at worst. So there :colbert:

There was a horror movie I saw as a kid that messed me up for weeks but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called.

It involved some people getting picked off on a large boat or cruise liner one by one by an unseen monster. And one of the women turns into the monster, at the end of the movie we see her awful CGI form tear a guy in half. And at the beginning of the movie the main guy has an incomprehensible vision about how everyone's going to die?

Might have messed up some details

The most noteworthy thing about Jupiter Ascending to me was how it felt like there was actually a very interesting universe filled with fascinating worlds and characters and all kinds of compelling stories happening everywhere except on-screen. Like, for whatever reason the Wachowskis decided to tell the most boring part of the story. It felt like it should have been a tie-in comic book to fill in someone's backstory or something. And just when the story shows some promise (okay, so how is Intergalactic Space Queen Mila Kunis gonna handle her new genocidal empire?) they cut to her having space rollerblading lessons and end the movie.

The Wachowskis were planning to make a trilogy and the studio talked them down to one, which I assume resulted in a bunch of really good ideas being smushed into the film. So to some extent it wasn't up to them.

I didn't read the book, but for some reason I thought it was supposed to be a satire predicting that we'd reach a pop culture singularity that just keeps looping on itself, harvesting bouts of nostalgia that recur over decades

Maybe Spielberg is aware that at 70 years old he probably only has a few more movies and he just said gently caress it. I don't know why else he'd direct this schlock. I can't imagine he's passionate about the book as it's sounds geared towards 20 year old introverts.

Maybe because he was involved with a lot of 80s movies/properties that are referenced in the books, and it's an exercise in self-fellatio.

I like the bit in Raimi's Spider-Man where New Yorkers start throwing rocks at Green Goblin, saying "you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."

That was more jarringly unrealistic than any cgi in any of the spider Man movies

John Wick is what kicked off his renaissance, not the Matrix sequels, if that's what you read my post as. John Wick made people realize "holy poo poo, Keanu can actually loving act nowadays!" and turned him from kind of a running joke to a genuine hot commodity.

You're joking, right? I think Reeves' acting in John Wick is the worst he's ever done. The action is good though.

I still like 2014 Godzilla, personally. Generic Soldier Protagonist dude was boring, but I think it was a good call to use Big G sparingly. Keeps it impressive when he is on screen, especially in full view fighting the Mutos.

What the movie desperately needed was making the human parts, when Big G isn't on screen, more interesting.

This easily could have been achieved if Bryan Cranston's much more interesting character was not killed off to give Motivation Fuel for the god awful protagonist. The reverse would be a lot better imo, because Cranston could've carried the film even if that was the only change.

Thank you. I really don't understand the appeal of John Wick 1 & 2. They felt so hollow to me. Why should I care about the main character? Am I supposed to be wowed by Reeves killing faceless mooks in the same exact way 1000 times? Am I supposed to think the films are somehow "above" other action movies because the mobs bleed R-rated-ly?

Watching them made me wish I was watching Die Hard or Terminator instead
