BonoMan posted:Ok I feel like it's just constant reduction or hyperbole. The conversation has clearly run its course. Excited to see this, I missed the play when it was in Toronto and I've heard really good things. Curious to know if future trailers will hint more at the supernatural/horror elements, apparently it takes an almost Lynchian bent in the second half.

It kinda reminds me of Ayoade's Submarine, which is a very good thing because that is also a very good film.

The Square was like 4/5ths one of the best films I've ever seen, and Force Majeure is extremely good, so I'm amped for this.

I'm surprised I've never seen someone edit the first two movies together into one single film (which I would totally watch because they're both equally good).

remigious posted:I’m guessing there’s some kind of cruel twist in The Whale? I don’t trust Aronofsky after Mother! It's essentially the plot of The Wrestler, but instead of suicide via steroids and wrestling in pursuit of stardom, it's suicide by food in response to the death of his boyfriend. It also pretty openly portrays his body as grotesque and applies the same style from Requiem For A Dream's approach to addiction and drug use to scenes of him binge-eating (similarities to an earlier mention of My 600lb Life, as well re: disability gawking).

I was all set to hate this, but I loving love Paddington 2 and this looks like it has a similar vibe. Bit of an oof on what's probably a fat suit joke, though, and that CGI is atrocious. Chalomet is giving something something Gene Milder idk eat your media slop fresh from the IP mill who cares

kalel posted:is cats (the original musical) secretly genius???? I don't love it but the original production design was kind of amazing and they did a good job with elaborating on the concept (particularly all the DIY crafting stuff, like the giant train made out of a trash can). The best comparison is probably a ballet like Swan Lake, where it's impressive because they're dancers imitating swans and so on, but if you made a movie of Swan Lake where all the swan characters were CGI swan-people it would be a bizarre nightmare. It's not a successful show because it's an engaging story about cats, but because it's live performance that invites you to buy into the theatrical illusion. The way Hooper hosed up Cats should be studied. It's fascinating to me.

I see what they mean, especially the landscapes and backgrounds. AI-generated art is good at greebling and often uses that kind of subdued modern palette, presumably because that's what they've been trained on, but it does mean shots like the ones below now look suspect in a way they didn't before:    Technically it's more that AI art ("art") looks like this movie, but because there's a lot of procedurally generated imagery now, and it's a hot topic, it's understandable that it's the first association someone might make when they see something like the above.

I've often thought that I would love to see a movie that purports to be future period piece about some recent event that randomly mashes together trends, styles, and references from the past 30 years, because that's all anyone from the year 2085 remembers about the turn of the millennium.

Lobok posted:In fairness I feel like this is a lot of musicals I've seen. The best stuff musically is before intermission. Unfortunately this is built in to how musicals are developed. What you think is a reasonably finished product can suddenly collapse in the presence of a paying audience, and now you're spending the entire try-out and preview period scrambling to fix as much of the show as you can, which usually means most of the first act gets sorted out and then the show opens before the second act can receive the same amount of attention. Wicked pretty notably spent three months between its San Francisco tryout and its Broadway premiere just doing rewrites, in which time they cut an entire hour off the runtime.

Bugblatter posted:…no? A lot of his films weren’t even shown on TV for decades after release. Kubrick didn't use symmetrical composition in 2001 because it would look better on TV, but it did get shown on TV within the next few years and the edits TV studios made to it (in one case they showed it letterboxed, but in the black space they put a fake starfield lol) pissed him off so much that he shot his last three movies with protection for both TV and cinema format. Those three movies look good in both aspect ratios, but he did do it very specifically because he wanted control over how they would look on TV and home video.

Open Source Idiom posted:There's a few different reasons. He was attached to some popular films and became an Internet darling, but then was attached to a handful of really poo poo films (Next Goal Wins and Thor: Love And Thunder are very bad), which could account for backlash. I feel like he's had a Lin-Manuel Miranda arc where suddenly pictures of him were everywhere and if you didn't really care for him then it was really, really annoying.

Carpet posted:Trailer for M Night Shyamalan's new film, Trap, starring Josh Hartnett. The trailer didn't seem that interesting until the big reveal half way through, I wish I'd not watched it as I would have gone and seen it anyway based on the strength of Knock at the Cabin. I feel like Hitchcock would approve of this conceit.
