feedmyleg posted:And then the FX people take the time to unionize in the meantime. I don't think a union is going to fix the problem with FX. A bunch of different countries/states/regions all competing with each other with tax credits means that hollywood will just move on to the next place if a union is formed. Unions and strikes are going to do jack poo poo if the entire work force is regularly fired anyways and there is no interest in sticking to one place or even the same country.

This is a TV show, but its worth posting. https://twitter.com/yugiohtas/status/1665021334311653379 I think using a body double would've worked better even if he didn't really look like the actor lol.

Zechariah posted:It's fine but he should have leaned into the fact that The Thing is specifically NOT a hivemind but a libertarian collective with fragile instinctually aligned values. Every little part of it is in it for itself, the greater good be damned. Two separate Things would rather the other burn than be caught themselves, their fingers don't trust each other, and the left leg voting block keeps complaining about roads. I think that The Thing is possibly a non-sapient mindless creature unless its a imitating a sapient creature and even then it isn't really self-aware, but just a P-Zombie with a directive to survive and infect others. Although it could also be self-aware though because it knows how to build a UFO. Heck the people its imitating might not even be aware that they are The Thing except when its instincts take over. When its just blood, its not able to respond intelligently. I think its far more interesting and scary if the audience isn't made aware how it operates. It could be an animal acting on instinct or a malicious being that knows exactly what it is doing.

Young Freud posted:We are shown, multiple times, that the Thing possess an intelligence. It knows when to ambush targets of opportunity like Bennings or the dogs; it recognizes MacReady's growing influence over the group and schemes to convince others that MacReady is a Thing and eliminate him, which it almost pulls off; it makes arrangements to separate and ambush the others by loving with the power, cutting the guide ropes, etc. ; and the Blair Thing is clearly building an escape craft so it can leave Antarctica before things get bad. Which is why I mentioned P-Zombies. It could be imitating a human who has self-awareness, and the imitation human is able to make complex plans to fulfill the objectives of the The Thing but The Thing is not actually intelligent itself. It could be a dumb animal in charge of smart humans. Its only objective is to survive and infect others.

Snowman_McK posted:Brightburn loving sucked. It had no interest in what makes successful 'what if superman was bad' story work: The evil supermen (Omni-Man and Homelander for instance) don't think they're evil. They think they're good. Omni-Man because he's executing a pretty comprehensive and successful (albeit ghastly) ideology and Homelander because, well, lots of people like him and he's a narcissist, so he must be good. Someone doing evil because they're evil is boring. Someone doing it because they think they're on the right side is inherently pretty compelling. Yeah, the kid goes from an actual character to just a mindlessly evil entity overnight. There still could have been an interesting story with his parents trying to deal with the sudden change, but its more interested in focusing on the kid and it being a slasher film.

Ghost Leviathan posted:It's been a problem with adaptations and franchises for a while that it seems like you keep ending up with failkid writers who can't get their own original and amazing stories picked up so they slap a well known IP on them and then blame nerd rage for when people don't give them the praise they deserve. A lot of them seem to have disdain for the source material too since it gets in the way of their totally awesome original story and will brag about not actually looking at the original.

Punkin Spunkin posted:I can't believe Gladiator 2 and Beetlejuice 2 are both finally happening, neither with their famously previously bandied about scripts as far as I can tell. Genuinely more worried about the latter, I'm not sure I trust Burton in 2023. Gladiator 2 following the original script would have been great. I don't see the point of making a sequel to gladiator so long after the original unless it goes in absolute crazy direction like the Nick Cave script.

Majkol posted:Where did the Stargate series originally in the US? I have a vague memory from my childhood in Europe seeing the pilot at 10 am on a Saturday on network TV and seeing some unexpected boobs I think. It was originally on showtime, and the change in budget is really obvious once it switches over to Sci-Fi, because the earlier seasons didn't mainly film in the same park in Canada.

Casimir Radon posted:One of the most frustrating things about reality tv is how it took over what were supposed to be educational channels. We didn’t have cable when I was growing up. So I was extremely happy whenever PBS had a history of science show on. But I wanted cable channels that showed that kind of thing all the time. 2007 comes along and my parents finally decide to get cable. It wasn’t bad at that point but it was certainly headed there. Discovery still had good stuff but they were also showing way too much Deadliest Catch. Go forward about 5 years from that and Discovery and History is wall to wall garbage all day long. You’d be hard pressed to find something in any given week that was actually worth watching. What happened to The Learning Channel was especially infuriating. I used to love that channel as a kid, and now its just absolutely worthless garbage. History Channel was always kind of bad though. Even before the reality/ancient aliens stuff it was just the 24/7 World War II channel.

Remulak posted:Advertising as a revenue model is the enemy of anything good. That’s why cable TV is a nightmare, even though it shouldn’t be with the level of carrier fees that are paid out. Or maybe it’s just capitalism. I think the real issue is that there are a not insignificant number of people who actually like reality tv shows.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:I always thought people were kind of exaggerating how much trouble it was to enjoy the "cinematic universe" aspect since there weren't all that many connections and usually they could explain them with a sentence, but now it seems more true for about half of the releases. Its output of content really increased ever since Disney tried to get into the streaming game. Its basically a repeat of when it made way too much star wars stuff and everybody lost interest.

Carpet posted:One of the first characters in the TENET organisation that the Protagonist meets literally tells the audience that they shouldn't care too much about the science of it. That's the dumb thing. It has this whole huge complex plot, but Christopher Nolan keeps on trying to tell his audience they shouldn't think about it too deeply. He even tries to use it justify his lovely sound mixing.

I think a lot about the second movie works, its mostly just the pirate council stuff that drags it down, and the fact that they didn't give the film a proper resolution so they could get another movie out of it. I think the movies would have worked better if they were stand alone adventures instead of trying to have these epic ongoing plots. They tried to course correct in 4 to do that, but the damage was already done. 3 also let the Jack Sparrow character completely consume the narrative.

Casimir Radon posted:I enjoyed Venom quite a bit, but the sequel was very forgettable. I haven’t really thought about it since it came out. Years of Spiderman fans talking your ear off about how edgy Carnage is if you let them and it’s a bit wet fart when he actually shows up. I feel like Carnage would have worked better as a villain for Spiderman, instead of the character he is just the more edgy version of. Probably still wouldn't work very well though.

Remulak posted:This Coyote vs Acme thing is fascinating. There’s no way it’s not some personal beef someplace. Is it just Zaslov putting Gunn in his place by canning a movie he co-wrote that stars his consistent collaborator Cena? Did the director or one of the producers gently caress his wife, or not gently caress his wife? The guy has publicly stated he hates scripted content. If he had his way there would be nothing but reality shows. He probably saw that an animated movie would probably be a huge success and he can't allow that to happen.

Pirate Jet posted:Alright look I think Coyote vs Acme should be released because everyone’s work should be seen and gently caress Zaslav and all that but let’s be real: nobody would care about it if it wasn’t for this. Looney Tunes haven’t been a box office draw in decades. Zaslav wants to can this movie because it was approved and funded under a previous WB administration, he doesn’t think it would do well in theaters, and it’s an instant payout in the form of a tax credit for a movie he didn’t even drop the money on to make. Because Looney Tune movies have been poo poo for a long time. This one seems to be actually good. It also has Jame Gunn's name behind it. David Zaslav has also has made it very clear that he thinks animation doesn't belong on Max. I mean the no credit for it thing also applies, but that is the default. You seem to think its always about money with CEOs, but that isn't the case especially since there will be no consequences for their gently caress-ups.
