Baronash posted:You don't have to look much farther than the 4K/120fps/3D disaster of cinematography that was Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk to see that Ang Lee is perfectly capable of making dumb decisions. I know The Hobbit movies were shot in 48fps (2x the normal framerate) and that sucked rear end as a viewing experience, but what's the point of shooting at 5x the normal framerate? Smoother 3D or something? That seems like it would have the opposite effect and make everything look like a garbage soap opera like that lovely motion interpolation effect on HDTVs. That's what happened with The Hobbit. Well, the first one at least. I learned my lesson and didn't see the second 2 movies in that trilogy in HFR.

I got free passes to see Kong: Skull Island. It was dope. Monsters got dismembered. People got dismembered. John C. Reilly owned like he always does. That was the best King Kong movie I've ever seen and I can't loving wait for Godzilla vs. Kong.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Apparently 25 minutes of the new transformers movie was screened and it revealed who the The Last Knight is it's Marky Mark, apparently back in King Arthur times there were 12 transformers that fought alongside the 12 knights of the round table to defend the peace between humans and transformers. Wahlburg is the new chosen one to reform King Arthur's court and sue for peace. I'm still not seeing this in theaters but now I may rent it to see how that plays out instead of my original plan of never seeing it.

The MSJ posted:They hired a bunch of writers who worked on comic book movies to write out a bunch of scripts starting with this year's movie. Transformers 5 is being written by two guys who wrote the first Iron Man movie and one who did Black Hawk Down. Then they also get Lucasfilm-style 'lore experts' as consultants. The result is probably a Transformers movie that feels more like a comic book film, except the things that goes on in Transformers comics are typically mad (in both good and bad ways). The current Transformers comics, for example, reveals that robots with 'camera' heads like Shockwave were not actually built that way but their original and more humanoid heads were removed as a form of punishment. Also most Transformers who transformed into animals now live on another planet to escape the religiously-motivated genocide of their kind on Cybertron.

Does he just not have interest in any projects? He's obviously got an insane amount of talent. Sucks that he hasn't been putting it to use in a while. Though I can understand having writer's (director's?) block.

Hardcore Henry is legitimately the best video game movie ever made and it's not even based on a video game (although it obviously takes inspiration from some) and just a fun as gently caress movie in general. More movies need to be as ballsy and creative and cool as Hardcore Henry.

I always figured the studio has to make a substantial profit to consider a movie a success. Breaking even would be a failure for them. The other day I found out Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was the most expensive film ever made with a budget of over $400 million, but it also made like over $1 billion at the box office, so it was considered a success and now there's a 5th one about to come out.

Chairman Capone posted:Isn't the next Avengers movie supposed to have a budget of a billion dollars? That's utterly mind boggling to me. But I guess they do have like 67 characters in it so I imagine the actors' pay is a big chunk of that.  gently caress me.Although from the way it's worded on the Wiki, that's the budget for both Avengers 3 and Avengers 4. They were shot back-to-back and had a combined budget of $1 billion. So I guess roughly $500 million each? That still makes them the most expensive movies ever made. Although Avengers 2 cleared over a billion at the box office, so it'll turn a profit for them I'm sure. Superhero movies are like guaranteed moneymakers nowadays. Also I just looked up the highest-grossing movies ever and Avatar is #1 with $2.8 billion? Ahahahahaha, HOW?
