I went back to quote this because I just watched this movie and it sucked. Shia was good in his bit role though.

Is it true that you don’t get to see the full chest tattoo Shia got for this role since Shia never takes off his suit? Because lol if that is the case.

Reading between the lines in interviews, I get the sense that this was all just overblown marketing spin anyway. It sounds like Shia wanted to get a tattoo of his mom and in the movie they tacked on some extra bits that made it specific to his character.

So does that mean that the huge “CREEPER” (the name of his character) letters are fake or did he want that as well?

E:f,b Still, interesting how the movie specific bit is also the one hardest to see.

I'm glad Cats exists because these sorts of fiascos just aren't a thing anymore. Studios are so risk averse and everything is a superhero movie, a sequel or a remake these days so to see someone go all out and spend $100+ million and produce THIS is nothing short of astounding to me.

Yeah, it's kind of weird how little attention that seems to get. Really underlines the "child predator" too.

I think it’s because at first glance this kind of looks more like a wacky publicity stunt than a full blown cult. Unfortunately, even fake cults have the tendency to turn real VERY fast. Especially with a predator at the helm, like you said but the allegations surrounding Leto have been very low profile.

I need to read the Devil in the White City. Ive heard great things.

The World's Fair portion is great but the H.H. Holmes portion is not only meh, but it's completely invalidated by modern research that reveals that most of the gruesome stories about Holmes (including his infamous "murder hotel", whose secret rooms were likely just used to store stolen goods) were fabrications by the police (who wanted to pin every crime in Chicago on Holmes), the press (who at the time blatantly made poo poo up) and Holmes himself (who was a pathological liar). Holmes definitely killed at least 9 people but probably no more than that and certainly not up to 200.

I'm personally more annoyed that they brought in Mel Gibson for this. I dont want to support that gently caress, and now he's in good looking movies now

Mel Gibson's slow but steady climb back to Hollywood's good graces is probably the single greatest argument for why "cancel culture" isn't really a thing.

Not making fun of you, I just think Lindelof is a great idea man but he's a hack as a storyteller. The Watchmen TV series is good because it was only one season. If they come back with Lindelof he'll go right into the patented "why plan? just make poo poo up as we go" à la Lost

Which is why he was quite clear about the fact that if they wanted to do Watchmen Season 2, they would have to do it without him.

Between Watchmen and Leftovers, Lindelof is clearly at his best when he is allowed to tell a story with beginning, middle and end.

One of the top 3 greatest theater going experiences of my life was Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part 2. Hear me out. My wife had been a fan of the series, while understanding they were trash (whatever, we all like trash), but hadn't wanted to see any of them in the theater, because, again, she knew they were trash. But for the last movie she wanted to finally see one in the theater, so I, of course, said I'd go with her. We went opening night. Theater was packed, almost entirely with teen girls and women in their 20's and 30's.

So I'm sitting in this movie, thinking it's mostly a piece of crap (though better than the other ones, because suddenly they're introducing a bunch of vampires with specific super powers? That's cool). Anyway, it gets to the "final battle", and the good vampires and werewolves line up against the bad vampires, and the leaders of both walk up to each other to talk. Suddenly Michael Sheen rips the head off the good vampire's head (the patriarch of the family). The whole theater gasps. My wife says, "Well that didn't happen in the book. But as long as they don't light him on fire, they can still bring him back." (Apparently a rule in this series.) They immediately light him on fire. The entire theater erupts in screams. Then, all hell breaks loose.

Main characters are dying left and right. Some vampire with blonde hair dies. The ground opens up and some dog falls down it in slow motion and dies. I don't know who it is, but the theater sure does, because everyone is crying.

And I mean openly weeping. Teenage girls and women in the 20's and 30's are screaming, crying, and gnashing their teeth. It's absolute chaos. And I'm just there looking around laughing my god drat rear end off. I'm loving every second of it. More blood for the blood god!

It should be noted that apparently none of this happened in the book, so not a single person in that theater saw this coming. They were blindsided. By the end of it, half the characters everyone knows, on both sides, are loving dead. Some old, tired vampire is killed, and right before he dies, he says, "...finally." It was glorious.

Suddenly Bella and Edward rip Michael Sheen's head off, and we see his POV as they slowly bring a torch towards him...and we back up to the beginning of the battle. It was all a vision one character was giving Sheen of what would happen if the battle took place.

The theater didn't know what the hell to think. There were gasps. Whimpers. "Wh...wh...what?!" They were holding each other.

And I just silently said to myself, "That was loving amazing."

I talked to a friend of mine, and he said the exact same thing happened to him when he went to see it with his wife, and he had the same reaction. We may be bad people. But the point is, some theaters don't need to be quiet.

From what I heard, the reason why they did this was because apparently people were horribly disappointed that the books ended with the two factions sitting down and settling their differences instead of a big fight. So they had a big fight... in someone's head so they could get back to the real ending.

If that's true, that's easily one of the best decisions in Hollywood history.
