Neo Rasa posted:The worst thing is this is a huge insult to Tarantino because he can write a scene. Cline is like............ Sweet baby Jesus Christ. I honestly thought people were exaggerating how awful the prose in the book was, but nope, it's really that awful. Also his creepy poem about porn was posted over in the r/incels thread and I had no idea it was written by Cline. Somehow, I shouldn't be surprised by this.

Groovelord Neato posted:this coming from the guy tearing apart a terrible fantasy series. Both of these episodes were amazing and made me realize that I should probably slap everyone who told me RP1 was good. I'm going to read it because I'm a masochist who will read garbage for the possibility of it being entertaining. This is why I read the first "Five Nights at Freddy's" novel and "Michelle Remembers", neither of which was very entertaining or good for that matter. To bring it back to movie, the trailer for RP1 was exactly the kind of nerd masturbatory bullshit that I've come to loathe, and while I saw plenty of breathless "OH MY GOD FREDDY KRUGER IS IN THIS!" posts when the trailer dropped, the whole thing just left me hollow. I won't see this in the theater because gently caress giving this thing theater money, but I might check it out after it hits VOD, although I don't know if my eyes can handle the strain from the amount of rolling I'm anticipating. ALFbrot posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/donniemnemonic/status/889215615717605376 And that is probably the best reason for why I might not actually read this garbage fire of a book, because at first glance I thought "Oh, that looks like acknowledgements" and then I read about a quarter of it and felt the urge to hunt down Cline and beat him up for his lunch money. Also I'm pretty sure he was in that documentary about digging up the ET Atari cartridges, and he shows up in a loving Delorean with a life size ET in the passenger seat. Kill the nerds is what I'm saying.

muscles like this! posted:Ugggh, they've announced yet another sequel in the Gerard Butler Olympus Has Fallen series. This one is titled "Angel Has Fallen" and terrorists attack Air Force One in order to get at Gerard Butler. Considering he's foiled two major terrorist attacks you'd think they would want to avoid him at this point. Movie bad guys are notoriously dumb. The Taken franchise is a perfect example of this.

Guy Mann posted:The time between T2 and this new movie will be almost twice as long as the time between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace. But the difference is Cameron has continued making films since T2, unlike Lucas who didn't direct anything between A New Hope and Phantom Menace. Also considering that Terminator is a time travel story, he can basically wipe out everything that came out post T2 with some hand wavey bullshit if he even bothers to acknowledge it.

Sir Kodiak posted:Do people also want Piranha 3DD wiped from the canon, or is it just the sequels to Aliens and Terminator 2? Piranha 3DD was just a garbage sequel to a fun remake. I don't think anyone thinks of Piranha as having "Canon". muscles like this! posted:If Avatar 2 actually keeps its release date it will be 11 years between feature films for Cameron and even then his last movie movie before that was Titanic and that was in 97. He hasn't exactly been prolific in the last 20 years. Also true, however Cameron is actually a good film maker and Lucas isn't. I'm not saying i"m jumping out of my chair for more Terminator movies because I haven't seen any of the sequels past T2 because I kinda just don't care about the franchise that much. If he actually makes a new Terminator movie and it's good I'll probably watch it, but I have no emotional investment in the franchise other than "Man, T2 was loving good and the everyone seems to hate everything else with Terminator on the box so I guess I can just skip those"

Groovelord Neato posted:them trying to make the doll itself look scary has the effect of making it less scary than the ""true"" story. I saw the original Annabelle in the theater for free and still wanted my money back. God drat that movie was boring and I have hated the design of that loving doll since the promo shots for The Conjuring. I don't understand why no one knows Hollywood seems to understand that dolls are just scary on their own. Dolly Dearest, which is a terrible movie, has a more convincing evil doll than Annabelle. It's why the original Childs Play works. The regular Good Guy dolls look fairly non threating. There is no plausible reason beyond "Because the script said so" for anyone to want to purchase that loving Annabelle doll in those movies. I really hate that doll is what I'm saying.

Inescapable Duck posted:Are there more bad comedies? There's nothing worse than a bad comedy. There's a sea of poorly thought out comedies. Back in the day you could walk into a video store, especially in the mid-00s and there were a slew of direct to video garbage comedies. Comedy and Horror are cheap to produce, which is why there are so many. And The Conjuring movies have made a ton of money because James Wan makes well made horror movies. I couldn't tell you what the Conjuring was about because I forgot about a week after I saw it, but I remember not hating it when I watched it. If anything Wan has improved a ton as a director since Saw and even Dead Silence which looks like Saw vomited all over it. I think part of it is the average audience who goes to see The Conjuring or the Annabelle movies isn't the die hard Horror fans who are scouring the internet for info and hunting down every little release that hits VOD, they're regular rear end folks who want to see a scary movie that won't do anything too crazy. Which is great, horror doing well at the box office means we get more horror movies in the theater, though I couldn't tell you the next horror movie coming to theaters that I actually want to spend money to see. Happy Death Day is probably the only one I can think of that I'm willing to drop money on to see in the theater, because despite the more positive reviews of the new Annabelle, I'm waiting for video so I can comfortably sit on my couch and mock it. If it's actually good, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but just because people said it's better than the original doesn't exactly fill me with hope. That's a really loving low bar to cross considering how utterly boring and awful the original was. At least with Ouija 2, Mike Flanigan's name and the positive reviews have gotten me interested in checking it out compared to the original which I still haven't seen because I've got better things to waste an hour of my life doing than watching a bad studio Horror movie that looked terrible from the trailers. I only saw Annabelle in the theater because I had a free pass and about 2 hours to kill before work. I still wanted my money back. Best part of that movie was when Satan shows up for 5 seconds which was the only part of the movie I was actually kinda excited about.

Skwirl posted:It's in The Library of Congress and there was already a public release date for it, I think in about ten years. Barring someone leaking it, it's probably still on the same timeline, since i'm pretty sure Jerry Lewis chose the date because he was pretty sure it'd be well after he died. I'm praying it gets leaked before then. I have a feeling I'm going to regret actually watching it, but the curiosity is just too great.

well why not posted:I know people have said similar, but it truly does look like a fake/SNL trailer. Like, if this was back in the Hot-Shots era Sheen we'd think it was hilarious. Maybe, but it's played so straight and seems so completely tone deaf. I've never seen the other 9/11 movies but at least with the one Nic Cage (loving lol) was, the trailers at least got across clearly "Tragic Hero Story" and was directed by Oliver Stone, so even if it did spin out into conspiracy madness, at least it would be well made. I'm just so confused who asked for this movie? I figured we were done with movies about 9/11 after the first batch of which all seemed to come out around 05/06.

He also stood a couple times. All these years later, all I remember about that awful loving movie is Ben Kingsley not giving a single gently caress any time he was on screen. Also I think Meatloaf exploded in sunlight.

Inescapable Duck posted:Nearly no budget, fearful Christian parents and grandparents and church groups, I'd imagine. You're pretty spot on there. The "Christian Entertainment" market is an insane money making scheme. The really hardcore folks won't watch "Normal" movies because reasons, so they snap up these next to no budget, poorly acted schlock fests because JESUS™ gets mentioned at some point. Also almost none of these movies are ever over a PG rating because we can't have any naughty words or inappropriate physical contact between the characters. Seriously these things are baffling but they make bank. It's like they took the old Corman model of film making and instead of exploiting an audiences desire to see schlock horror/sci-fi, it's religious themed dramas or kids movies that are so saccharine they'd make Mickey Mouse vomit.

Inescapable Duck posted:I wasn't too worried about clowns as a kid, except for those carnival clown games where plastic clown upper bodies would rotate back and forth waiting for kids to put balls in their mouths to hopefully roll into the right slot to win a prize, dead-eyed limbless torsos staring into the void forever, I had to be escorted past those with my eyes covered. I think this is probably closer of what the issue is for a lot of people. I remember being kind of unnerved by clowns as a kid, but my dad also did some birthday clown poo poo now and again so it wasn't that horrifying. I'd say clowns were pretty low on my "Things that are lurking in the dark to get me" list as a child, at least below vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein and whatever weird poo poo was on Unsolved Mysteries that night. I think it's more reasonable to be scared of a "Normal" clown vs the dudes who dress up as "Creepy" clowns, there's something already unnatural about a regular clowns appearance that I just can't take the "Creepy Clown" thing seriously. Now if I ran into one on a dark night standing under a street light offering me a balloon, I don't care if it's Bozo or Pogo, I'm going the other way. I've read IT.

I mean she went back to TV after "Date Movie" (why do I remember that movie exists?) but I couldn't even tell you the last thing I saw any of those actors in. Other than Sean William Scott who just did that second Goon movie.

I don't think I've seen Road Trip. I remember Sex Drive not being horrible, and I always had a soft spot for Eurotrip and Van Wilder. Eurotrip because it's so quotable and better than it has a right to be, and Van Wilder was always fun because Ryan Reynolds was being Ryan Reynolds. I vaguely remember the Kal Pen sequel not being awful but that was probably a decade ago.
