Driftingmouse: eh- a new Who Greenlighted This thread? On this dead, gay forum, in February, by Tars Tarkas, localized entirely in Cinema Discusso?

Tars: yes.

Driftingmouse: ...can I see it?

Tars: no.

Thanks for making the new OP. God, the Morbius thing was funny. I'm reminded I still haven't checked out RRR.

Even though I should, I can't believe the ghoulish greed behind not giving up on Rust. You know someone behind those scenes went "we can make this work"

In the final episode of the Jetsons (which was never aired) we see that everyone's a robot, everyone but George. He built them all. As the floods rise and technology breaks and fails around him, a single tear rolls down the considerable length of his nose, he puts the raygun against his temple

Hellboy is the most boring part of the Hellboy comics. What they need to do is make a BPRD TV series, because that's where all the actually interesting characters were.

Yes, this. You could launch with a Hellboy cameo for hype and then just maybe bring him in occasionally. Hellboy is alright but BPRD is so much more fun.

There's no way it was more obnoxious than the menu of the Fifth Element dvd.

I don't think I've ever watched my copy. I threw it in once, and waited at the menu, figured I was stupid or my player wasn't right for it and just put it back on the shelf.

I guess people were still figuring put DVD menus back then. The early ones still had mandatory trailers before the movie, like VHS tapes did.

Not going to lie, Banana Splits Movie was a lot of fun. Really gory too which was a surprise. I'm pretty sure those were robots. It had a very "FNAF with the serial number filed off" except it had the Banana Splits which I'm only aware of because it was on Cartoon Network when I was a kid.

Just realized that everytime someone brings up the horror Banana Splits movie, I thought they were talking about a horror Bananas in Pajamas movie.

I was gonna say, demonstrate Fatalities with him and everyone's happy.

Also I hope they just don't mention the Arcana thing ever again. Like the guy from Hellboy 1 in Hellboy 2.

I think Myers gets mentioned once in Hellboy 2, in that he's off on assignment in Siberia or something. Del Toro probably had an exhausting fight with producers before that character had to be put in, too (producers would ask him about the character of Hellboy, "does he have to be a demon? Does he have to be red? Can't he just be a guy who transforms into Hellboy when he gets mad?").

MK had so many angles for a character to introduce the viewer to the weird world of magic ninjas. Could've looked over the shoulder of Johnny Cage on a career revival, Sonya on assignment after Kano (or Jax, going after Sonya), Liu Kang or Kung Lao, baby Sub-Zero trying to find what happened to his brother. But no, we had to have a guy who can summon a magic shirt.

lol, studios and streaming services are probably dreaming of a future where AI generates movies for them based on current trends and starring actors who have been dead for decades, without any more cost than computer time. No more new art, just recycled and regurgitated bits of old, glued back together. Horrible.

There used to be this mystique about actors where it seemed like they lived in this secret world and had access to secret knowledge, and many of their quirks were taken in stride as part of that.

Then came social media and we could all see they're just as dumb and crazy as the rest of us, often moreso.

Act of Valor also had tons of scenes with people interacting who were blatantly on set at different times. If I recall most of the action scenes were filmed as part of some Navy promotion that wasn't meant for public release and they decided to try to put a movie around them. Emilio Rivera shows up at the end as some cartel leader and it doesn't even look like he is in the same country when he is firing at the seals

The Oscar winner said that studios have turned down five of his projects in the last two months and that he's gearing up to focus on animated films only.

“They still say no to me,” the “Nightmare Alley” director said. “In the last two months, they said no to five of my projects. So it doesn’t go away. Making movies is eating a sandwich of poo poo. There’s always poo poo, just sometimes you get a little more bread with yours.”


Just give the man money to make the films he wants to you idiots!

Oh and he also thinks a lot of modern animation is pretty garbage:

quote:

“Animation to me is the purest form of art, and it’s been kidnapped by a bunch of hoodlums. We have to rescue it. [And] I think that we can Trojan-horse a lot of good poo poo into the animation world. I believe you can make an adult fantasy drama with stop-motion and move people emotionally. I think stop-motion can be intravenous, it can go straight to your emotions in a way that no other medium can.”


:( man, that sucks to hear. I know GDT's movies aren't always financial hits, but he's one of the most creative writer-directors out there. Studio bosses are probably like "an original property? Nahhh, how about you do a remake of something that came out five years ago?"

I kinda like it too, but I suspect the novelty of it works only once. The tech will probably be refined, but I hope this hype won't last. I'm imagining creative jobs being marginalized even further as the entertainment sector just repeatedly chews up and vomits out derivatives of the same work ad infinitum.
