I'm annoyed that people now hate and blame the real aviation security/investigation agencies for giving Sully such a hard time - when in reality they didn't. They did their loving job of investigating a controlled landing. The movie made people less trusting in the institutions made to protect them, because they made up that conflict for the movie.

Huh Clint Eastwood made a movie where a government agency was demonized inaccurately? I personally am shocked

They've no doubt gone through several page-one script rewrites over several years (if not decades) and possibly enlisted and then lost several directors before they even got to the point where they felt confident enough to publicly announce the project.

Hell yeah the Congo movie is great.


Clive Cussler had a japan-bashing book too that I somehow slogged through last year and it is so terrible. The lead character is continually the most awesome smart guy everywhere, I think he even killed a japanese guy with a samurai sword at the end when he invades Japan. But most of the book is boring as well as super anti-Japan.

Dirk Pitt?!? Didn't Cussler write more than one book where Pitt and Cussler meet and hang out and talk about how cool each other are?

Do you think maybe Disney is doing these remakes in an attempt to retcon the old, handdrawn style of animation out of existence? So, like, in the future they can leave all of their old animated movies in the vault forever, and they can still use the relevant IPs at Disney parks but pretend the new live action movies invented them? To head off questions from future children about why the old animated movies look different from the new animated movies?

No

I mean that's what they used to do and people called those movies classics. Fistful of Dollars and Magnificent Seven are just Japanese films that have been Americanized (I know FFOD is Italian, whatever) to a much more significant degree. I mean replacing Japanese cultural signifiers (samurai) with American ones (gunslingers). I think part of the problem is that most modern remakes don't do enough to distinguish themselves as properties that are different than the originals.

You have to do more than just change a film so it takes place in another culture, you have to change it so it's culturally and historically relevant to that culture so people can feel attached to it.

Although I also think a lot of anime fans are drawn to it because of its appeal as a foreign and "exotic" thing so they'll never really approve of an adaption because it robs it of what they liked about it in the first place.
All the more reason to ignore them.

Like the American Akira is laughable because Akira is inherently Japanese. It doesn't mean that you couldn't make a good American film based on Akira, but you need to do more than just replace the Japanese characters with American ones

Sorry that's very rambley. I'm very tired.

I was thinking about John Lithgow today, since he showed up on Harry Connick Jr. show, and that I haven't seen him for a while. Then I remembered that he was in Third Rock and that was a big hit in syndication and he's got more money than God right now so he's been doing theater and the occasional bit part every now and then.

He was on Dexter and just finished up some season of some show on NBC so it's not like he isn't working
