The F&F films are better superhero movies than the MCU films.

confused posted:I haven't seen any of the F&F movies. Should I? If so, which ones? You should watch every single one of them. In release order, not timeline order. If you need a companion to them, some of the guys at Giant Bomb did a commentary track for the first seven films.

muscles like this! posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9BwB3SBPOg Maybe I'm just a hater, but who gives a poo poo about a film like this? Like, why is this necessary? What is this film adding to the overall story? IDK. I also just generally hate prequel stories in general. They are rarely, if ever, done well and they are almost always completely loving pointless.

CelticPredator posted:It’s to make money Granted, but there are so many people that I see get excited whenever any prequel films/shows get revealed. Maybe I'm just broken in the brain, but I literally cannot think of a time when I've gotten excited to watch anything considered a prequel to something existing.

I have never read the DUNC book and I still haven't seen DUNC part 1. I should probably correct that. Oh god. What a terrible page start.

is DUNC part 1 accessible to people who have no knowledge of the books outside of knowing that it is a sand planet with giant worms?

RestingB1tchFace posted:Strays looks dreadful. I genuinely have no idea who the film is for. I assume 20 year old college guys? It just looks like the most dire poo poo. I haven't been too impressed with much of Universal's offerings this year. I didn't like Knock at the Cabin. Renfield was an incredible let down. I'm seeing Fast X tomorrow, but not expecting it to necessarily be amazing. Cocaine Bear isn't my style of film, so I haven't seen that one, but I hear that one is good.

kiimo posted:Super Mario Bros? M3GAN? Puss in Boots? Super Mario Bros looks like the kind of insufferable film that would make me rather jump head first into a wood chipper. I'm not a horror guy so no M3GAN. Puss In Boots was last year. Oppenheimer isn't out yet but I'm kinda over Chris Nolan.

kiimo posted:I promise you they give the lowest of the low absolute dolt nepotism PA the subtitles job. It's time consuming and nobody checks it. Fun fact - the company I work for did the subtitling for the Barbie trailers. As for why it's looking all fucky in Teagone's screenshot is probably from something that happened after it left our hands.

Colonel Whitey posted:Aaron Taylor Johnson is so goddamn boring. I hate to be mean about an actor but I am just not interested when he is on screen, ever, and I'm tired of the most boring leading men continuing to be presented as if they're somehow appealing. I'm glad I'm not the only person to feel this way. I'm sure he's a nice dude or whatever but to me, he is the most boring bland thing since Sam Worthington. I feel like the mid-2000s was cranking out a ton of "generic white male pseudo-action star" types of actors that were all more bland than bleached white bread. ATJ feels like a continuation of that.

B-Rock452 posted:Honestly I generally don't like animated stuff, I know it's dumb to dismiss a whole type of art but it never really did much for me. I didn't even really like Disney animated movies as a kid. And my first roommate in college was huge into anime and we watched a bunch together and like I said I just disliked it a lot. Sorry Nothing wrong with that. It's a completely fair viewpoint. If you're not into animated stuff at all, that's just what it is. Hell, I don't watch horror stuff. At all. I don't care how good you tell me it is. If it's horror or horror adjacent, I'm not watching it. Zero interest ever. I think a lot of people get prickly when someone will say something like "I love <insert animated shows here such as Adventure Time, Futurama, Rick & Morty, Bob's Burgers> but I hate anime."

Parkingtigers posted:Kelsey Grammer is 68 and still looks and sounds basically as he always did. He's a little thicker-set, a little greyer, but he carries the age extremely well. Kelsey Grammar is 15 years older in this show than John Mahoney was when the original Frasier started airing.

The trailer for Argylle really caught me off guard because from the premise that was listed online months ago, they're making it seem like there is a big secret twist, which if things haven't changed, was spoiled in the information about the film that was out there months ago. Also, the prior information made it seem like Henry Cavill was the protag of the main film, not just a bit part. TBH - the trailer actually made me less interested in the overall film.

Snooze Cruise posted:btw if you watch that trailer and think it looks cool and haven't seen the rehearsal you need to go do that immediately The Rehearsal is literally the weirdest and most baffling thing I have ever seen on TV. Every episode had me wondering how things could escalate and how he pulled any of this off in the first place. It feels like HBO just rolled in a dump truck of money and said "Give us 6 episodes of whatever you want" and then just put it on air.

kiimo posted:It feels like a summer movie but less competition is better for box office. There's a whole department who handles these release dates and it's practically a science and always in motion. Yeah, the "science" of it is fascinating. My office gets those release date emails from Universal. Always fascinating to see where things are placed and how they change. The strikes have only made those more fun and spicy.

So my company's trailer team worked on the Furiosa trailer (managing the translations/subtitling for international versions) so I got a chance to watch this in one of our office's big theater rooms. It looks very good on a big screen.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:i'm gonna be real here Beyond Thunderdome kinda sucks rear end I guess my view is if someone asserts that a director has made bad films but then the best example of a bad film is a film they made is one from 40 years prior in their career, I'm willing to the give the director the benefit of the doubt.

kiimo posted:Dune owns March now and Fall Guy's new date is so good we're worried some other film might still move into the slot and push us out I hope not. May is such a great time for it. Quiet Place is in June and I don't see that moving. Another Bad Boys film is supposedly coming in June and that's another I don't see moving. Furiosa and the new Planet of the Apes are both releasing at the end of May, so those two will be fighting each other, but at least it gives Fall Guy a three week uncontested run. But yeah, at this point, I don't see anything moving up anymore.

Bugblatter posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDyQxtg0V2w Happy Noodle Boy posted:Texas California alliance? Might as well add aliens and time travel that’d be more realistic. Yeah, honestly this was my take away as well. The film and premise seem neat, but the whole "California and Texas are on the same side" is such a minor thing but completely breaks any suspension of disbelief. How unfortunate.  I think the main reason the Texas/California alliance is so baffling is because America is so Us vs Them politically and Texas and California have generally always been on opposite sides so one side would have "our guy" in power. I literally cannot fathom a governmental situation that would make Texas and California team up. Especially since this film doesn't seem like it's set in the distant future or past or anything like that. It's a very "near modern" setting. It just breaks any immersion I could possible have from the beginning. Mordiceius fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Dec 13, 2023 |

acksplode posted:Yeah the CA central valley is pretty Texas-aligned. It's probably not difficult to come up with an alternative history where it drives state politics rather than the coast I mean, the last "close" presidential election in California was in 2004 - aka two decades ago. It has only been more split since there. 2000 - 5.9m (Dem) vs. 4.6m (GOP) 2004 - 6.7m (Dem) vs. 5.5m (GOP) 2008 - 8.2m (Dem) vs. 5m (GOP) 2012 - 7.8m (Dem) vs. 4.8m (GOP) 2016 - 8.7m (Dem) vs. 4.4m (GOP) 2020 - 11.1m (Dem) vs. 6m (GOP) The last time a Republican presidential candidate took California was in 1988 - 35 years ago and that was just by a sliver - 5.1m v. 4.7m Sure, the CA central valley is red as hell, but there is no reality in which in the present or very near future that they overtake California politics. Honestly, it would be more likely that Texas goes blue and aligns with California over California turning red and aligning with Texas. For comparative numbers, this was the last two decades in Texas: 2000 - 3.8m (GOP) vs. 2.4m (Dem) 2004 - 4.5m (GOP) vs. 2.8m (Dem) 2008 - 4.5m (GOP) vs. 3.5m (Dem) 2012 - 4.6m (GOP) vs. 3.3m (Dem) 2016 - 4.7m (GOP) vs. 3.9m (Dem) 2020 - 5.9m (GOP) vs. 5.3m (Dem) The gap is widening in California while it narrows in Texas.
