Hostile V posted:The one bad movie I'm sincerely looking forward in 2017 is Resident Evil 6 because they're enjoyable bad movies and it's also the end to that goofy loving series. Weren't the fourth and fifth ones also "I swear this is the last one" situations? Don't believe his lies. Improbable Lobster posted:It was more prominent with the toys but Kylo toys were significantly overproduced and sold worse than Rey/Finn/Poe while Rey, the only woman, was the best selling character even though her toys were significantly underproduced in comparison to the other characters. Finally, a chance to put my unhealthy LEGO addiction to use! Kylo Ren actually had one of the best sets for that film - his big rear end black shuttle, which fits neatly in between the recently re-issued Classic Imperial shuttle (from the Battle of Endor) and the Rogue One Badguy's Shuttle (which is ludicrously wingy and cool). Poe, however, had the black X-Wing which sold out constantly for months and months. Rey had a $10 speeder bike toy. Though there was a Rey minifig in with the New Millennium Falcon, which was easily the set that was most bought and wanted. precision fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Jan 2, 2017 |

I don't think I could engage with anyone who doesn't realize that Kylo Ren was intentionally an emo doofus. The fact that he was played by loving Adam "Lena Dunham's insanely manchild boyfriend on Girls" Driver should have been hints number 1 through 10.

Blade Runner will be fine because they got a good director and it's not like Star Wars where they're going to try for some broad easily digestible film. I'm sure they want it to make billions of dollars but I think they know it can do that while also being a smart and cool sci-fi film, much like Minority Report (also based on PKD) was.

Jonas Albrecht posted:I just don't think it's going to do anything other than cement Deckard as a replicant, a theory I loathe. If the movie has any nuts at all, this will still be something that has no definitive answer. The entire point is that there's a possibility that it might not matter if someone is a Replicant or not and the existential horror that arises from that. It shouldn't upset us that consciousness could arise in a silicon "machine" as opposed to "natural life" which is, after all, just very efficient machinery, but man, it still does.

MacheteZombie posted:I haven't watched it, but I haven't heard anything good. I loved Marble Hornets and own the Blu Ray of the series so I should at least give it a watch I guess. I liked MH at the time, though I kinda hate season 3. But yeah the movie is really fuckin' boring and lame.

I watched Ocean's Twelve last night, as part of my quest to actually watch every Soderbergh movie, and holy poo poo, who greenlighted that? It was incredibly fun, but from a Hollywood standpoint it's absolute arthouse wank nonsense with really amazing visuals and the best score I've ever heard. Today I found out that Soderbergh himself considers it "the highest budget stoner film" and that they're doing an all-female Ocean's Eight They named the fourth Ocean's film Ocean's 8

Timby posted:No, it predated the strike by three or four years. What happened was that Warner Bros. was keen to make a sequel, and Soderbergh and the cast were up for it -- but they were having a terrible time cracking a story. Jerry Weintraub came across a script that Warners had bought from George Nolfi (who would later go on to make The Adjustment Bureau) called Honor Among Thieves. It was actually a really solid script, about an American thief and a European thief who keep trying to one-up each other to prove who can pull off the biggest heist. Anyway, they took the script and told Nolfi to plug all the Ocean's characters into it, which is why it's such a bloated, over-stuffed mess. I said it elsewhere: It's the Infinite Jest of bad movies. I kind of love it and want to watch it again tonight. SomeJazzyRat posted:I mean, Jesus Christ. First off, why the hell are they charging a teacher for showing an R-Rated movie?

Groovelord Neato posted:they made real games but i don't think they sold well so they sold their soul to the devil and made an awful button simulator. probably rich as kings now. The train one is pretty cute. But yeah their "real game" Nimble Quest was not only a real game but was also really, really good. It sold like hot dogshit. Mobile gaming is the armpit of the gaming world (with very rare exceptions like Square-Enix's "GO" series - Lara Croft GO, Hitman GO, and Deus Ex GO - that are genuinely really well done and aren't limited by touchscreen controls).

I wouldn't say Captain Boomerang's gimmick was throwing things, that's just his name. I know nothing of the comics but in the film I got the impression his sole gimmick was "robs banks, is Australian".

And yet it was still so much better than BvS. But I'm not a comic book fan, or at least, I was in the 80s and so I do still have set in my mind an idea of comic books and how they should work, but it's a really old idea. Maybe I liked Suicide Squad because it's basically an issue of New Mutants.

Yeah, Crash had a fairly bad script but the execution of the film was pretty good. Which is a statement that I would apply to the other films I singled out as well.

Well, it's not about gay cowboys - one is clearly bisexual and the other is so stunted he's effectively asexual - but yes it's a beautiful and extremely entertaining film on all fronts. It's one of my top 5 of all time.
