GrandpaPants posted:That second monkey man trailer felt like it spoiled too many moments and set pieces. Even if there's still probably cool poo poo, it feels like one of those whole movie in a trailer trailers. It did the opposite of hype me up and I wish I didn't see it, even though I'm still looking forward to it. Yeah I watched the first few seconds and it spoiled the fight where he has a gun pointed at the other guy. The first trailer just teased the beginning of that fight, now I know what happens.

Dude is a creepy pedophile villain, him showing up should be 'oh poo poo'

So I'm wondering along with the faux reverence for past IP like those Ghostbuster trailers, is having a hack writer the only these movies get made?

Gonna go against the grain here and say I'm hyped for the Alien movie based on the teasers tone. It looks like they're going straight horror movie by a director with at least two bangers under his belt. And against the grain again by suggesting that a huge part of the original Beetlejuice allure was Michael Keaton's insane manic energy, and 72 year old Michael Keaton looks a little tired here.

GrandpaPants posted:Yeah, it was entirely self inflicted, but I assumed I'd be seeing that trailer like every week at the theater. I did not know the film comes out in like two weeks, so that's a pleasant surprise. Yeah we had a very short runway on this campaign. We're trying to get as many eyeballs on this as fast as we can. Even if the box office doesn't really have time to respond globally, you can count on this being a franchise moving forward. John Wick had a modest box office for movie 1, just sayin

Not MCU but I'd be surprised if this didn't apply to Wingard on the Godzilla/Kong movies. Neither the past one nor the promo for the new one look like they have any DNA from his prior work at all.

live with fruit posted:Who is this true of? * Colin Trevorrow only did Safety Not Guaranteed before getting Jurassic World and almost got Star Wars before he pissed it all away with Book of Henry * John Trank had done Chronicle (which to be fair was quite good) before getting the job for Fant4stic and ruining his own career. * John Watts had only done Clown and Cop Car before Spider-Man: Homecoming * Peyton Reed only did semi successful rom-coms before Ant-Man And so one. I guess this doesn't happen as much in the MCU but in a lot of franchise films. I remember at one point the trend was bringing in successful foreign directors to make mediocre remakes of American films (Jose Padilla doing the freaking Robocop remake comes to mind).

Padilla was fairly outspoken about how angry he was at studio intervention with robocop, even publicly said he never wanted to work with US studios again. Shame, he’d have been a solid fit for the franchise if let loose.

Wow, so Waititi only had a 15 year career including directing four features, one of which (Boy) put him at the top of the Kiwi film industry, before he was sniped as a plucky newcomer by Marvel?

That's not atypical for Marvel. Cate Shortland had a similar career in Australia, though to less acclaim, before getting Black Widow. The Marvels was Nia Dicosta's third film, and her first feature -- other than a short from back in 2013 -- was in 2018. The logic I've heard is that Marvel likes to hire controllable directors, so either inexperienced newbies or company men like Raimi.

He made Oz The Great And The Powerful and Multiverse of Madness. Man knows how to make a big effects laden studio film without putting too much of himself into things. Keeps the bosses happy and takes his studio money. I'm not making a negative judgement, it's something of a skill. Terry Gilliam couldn't do that.

I'm wondering if people are even reading what they're saying, let alone what I'm saying. When Taika Waititi was picked for Thor 3, he'd been directing for longer than Peter Jackson had when he was given Lord of the Rings and had only one less movie on his CV. Someone with over a decade's experience and four features under their belt is not a neophyte.

I was being sarcastic towards the OP's assertion that Waititi could be included in the list of "journeyman directors". It had already gone from "they'd only made one movie" to "this person had made two but they were small", which is fine enough. But "this guy had only made New Zealand's biggest homegrown box office hit plus multiple other movies when Marvel picked him up" doesn't exactly qualify, does it?
