I have to admit I like the "I've got a really good feeling about this!" line, it's a great way to do a callback to an iconic line but also show how different the character is at this point in his life and hint that he's going to experience some hosed up stuff that'll change his views about life sometime soon. A whole bunch of the other lines ("If you come with us, you're in this life for good") seem really forced and bad.

It's really weird that they end the trailer with the Indominus rex sneaking into the little girl's bedroom to menace her like we're supposed to go "OMG who will save her?" when an earlier part of the trailer already showed us that Owen and Blue come in to save her

Asiina posted:The city I used to live in the regular theatre had recliner seats, maybe only 10 to a row and you could get alcohol, all reserved seating and you still paid the regular movie price so you could get that experience for like $9 on Tuesdays. Now I live in a larger city and the only theatre that does this considers it a "VIP Experience" so it costs $25. LOL, I went to my local theater here in Australia to see Rampage a few days ago and the ticket cost me $22 plus $1.50 online booking fee. The screen had a wrinkle in the fabric which distracted me a bunch of times throughout the movie and it was auditorium seating so every time anyone in the room checked their phone there'd be a flash of light in the corner of my eye. Jokes on them though, I bought some candy at the supermarket for $2 and smuggled it in instead of paying $7 for the exact same product at the concession stand.

GoldStandardConure posted:What cinema chain in Australia? I have very rarely had lovely technical problems with any of the cinemas I go to in Perth, crowds and ticket prices is another issue... Hoyts. Also when I booked the ticket online the email didn't show the barcode so the guy checking tickets had to type the booking code in manually instead of just scanning my phone. I'm being a bit nitpicky though, usually the most annoying thing about going to the movies other than the cost of the tickets is that about 50% of the time someone will be sitting in your seat so you have to do the whole "Uh yeah I think that's my seat?" song and dance. Edit: just to head off the inevitable question, every seat is assigned so if you just sit somewhere else then you'll just get kicked out by whoever booked that seat.

I feel like it should be more raspy and almost Darkness Mike Patton-esque, and Tom Hardy sounds like he has has downs syndrome. Venom's voice is about 40% Movie Trailer Guy and Brock's voice starts out with a smidgin of Elmer Fudd but gets Fuddier and Fuddier when he gets more panicky towards the end of the trailer.

The script was originally written by Joby Harold, WB's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword writer. Lionsgate must have shat their pants when WB's King Arthur: LotS bombed so hard because this is so obviously in the same vein, right down to getting a British gangster director guy to helm it.

BonoMan posted:It looked like pretty standard puppeteering to me. Maybe since the puppets are more interactive and out in the open (to sell the gag) they can't use a lot of the visual tricks they normally use? The Muppet Movie came out 39 years ago and that was all interactive puppets out in the open and it looked WAY better. A lot of these puppets seem to move reeeally stiffly, there's several shots where a character turns around and they just rotate on the spot like they're on a swivel. The puppeteering just felt ... unexpressive to me. Eezee posted:I think that would have worked much better if it was grittier. A dark comedy with the muppets could have been pretty neat, but some dude jizzing everywhere doesn't really work as a joke for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPvXaj0HZgg

BonoMan posted:Well given the content, maybe they had second rate puppeteers and puppet makers? The weird thing is that it was directed by Brian Henson, co-produced by the Jim Henson Company and the puppets were made in the Jim Henson's Creature Shop so everything should have been top of the line. The lead puppet character also looks a lot more generic and cheaper than the version used in the old trailer I posted so maybe their budget was slashed?

LORD OF BOOTY posted:It really depends on how much a few black marks can ruin a mostly fantastic movie for you, and if you even notice or care about those black marks in the first place. There's also the fact that one of the big things is gonna play badly with X-Men fans and probably not make regular audiences bat an eye at all (Juggernaut's death is, uh, extremely undignified after the character not really getting a lot of screen time). Juggernaut survived, you can just see him slowly starting to emerge from the pool as the heroes are walking away right at the end.

Teenage Fansub posted:Also, the comic was still a comedy, ya embarrassing nerd dopes (the folks making this). Steve Yun posted:I dunno if I’d call it closer to the source either, the source was pretty comical. The original comics were pretty drat dark, most of the jokes were about Stanley going on a murder spree when he first gets the mask and cartoonishly slaughtering people he hated like the mechanics who ripped him off and the elderly teacher who used to humiliate him in school:   Also I'm guessing the fanfilm people don't have much of the special FX shots completed and that's were pretty much all the comedy would be happening. There's almost no comedy in the story except when the Mask is going nuts, Stanley's life is pretty sad and pathetic and the rest of the story is cops going "What the gently caress do we do???"

live with fruit posted:It's funny that when Disney first started digging up the corpses of their old properties, they at least tried to do something different with them. Burton's Alice was a sequel of sorts and Maleficent was a retelling. Then they realized that they didn't need to put in so much work. They've been digging up those corpses for a long time, experimenting with different business models and seeing what would stick. Back in the 90s and 00s they pumped out dozens and dozens of cheap animated direct-to-DVD sequels to their classic movies which sound pretty awful (Cinderella 2?? Really??) but apparently sold millions upon millions of copies. They also went through a phase in the 90s of remaking some of their 'classic' live action films like That Darn Cat , Flubber, The Parent Trap, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Love Bug, etc. which were mostly pretty unsuccessful.

Slutitution posted:Do you know how many spiderman movies have been made in the last 20 years? Why are people still cumming in their pants for this poo poo? A better question would be "Why the gently caress are Sony so desperate to keep people cumming in their pants for this poo poo?" The first Raimi Spider-Man back in '02 was Sony's biggest hit ever at $403 million domestic. Their previous biggest hits were MIB in '97 ($250m), Ghostbusters in '84 ($229m) and Tootsie in '82 ($177m). Tootsie was a one off and the Ghostbusters and MIB sequels failed to recapture the lightning in the bottle but the Spider-Man sequels made $373m and $336m so Sony became loving obsessed with squeezing out as many Spider-Man movies as possible. The '02 Spider-Man only got overtaken last Christmas by Sony's Jumanji 2 (and even then it only made $1 million more) so not only are they going to be pumping out Spider-Man sequels and spinoffs and prequels for the next 20 years, they'll be pumping out Jumanjis as well.

This illness has loomed over us for a long time and now that I have found my peace, find yours. Until that day, your best friend, Helen." Looking over it again I'm not 100% certain that "the illness" she refers to is her cancer or whatever the gently caress is going on in John's head.

We went on a Big Lebowski bender in the "PYF Subtle Movie Moments" thread and holy gently caress there were a lot of subtle moments in that film. It's actual kind of insane how much stuff the Coens packed into it. I'd love more Lebowski stuff (and John Turturro has been begging them to revisit his Jesus character for decades) but on the other hand if it's not working off a razor sharp script that Joel and Ethan have been honing for years then ...

On the one hand there's nothing wrong with that shot (although I think it would have worked better if Magneto was on the right hand side of the screen and the giant empty space was above and in front of him rather than behind him) but on the other hand the direction of that scene was shiiiiiiiiiiiiit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux0TaOu6RHI "Who the gently caress are you?" would have been a great line if it'd been handled better but loving hell does it land with a thud here, the timing was just woeful.
