McGann posted:He'll be a bit, gotta calm down after nearly stroking out upon finding the new thread. How would it though? Wasn’t it only ever screened the one time to cast and crew? Unless I’m mistaken, the whole reason they’re able to shelve it for tax reasons is that it effectively can’t be shown anywhere ever for any reason.

The MSJ posted:Don't know if the entire movie will be good but this is very authentic to actual D&D experience. It’s a dumb joke but also yeah, 100% authentic. It’s definitely going to be bad, but maybe it’ll at least be a fun Saturday afternoon watch once it’s on streaming.

Len posted:A guy at my LGS thinks it looks bad because "it's just a fantasy movie and nothing about it makes it D&D" but I think he wants to watch people sit around a table and roll dice or some poo poo In fairness, pulling a Jumanji and starting with the characters as actual players and doing a fish out of water thing would help it set the movie apart from your typical action-fantasy flick. That’s pretty much all you could do though, the D&D setting itself is just as bland and generic as every other fantasy setting.

MonsieurChoc posted:True of Forgotten Realms, but D&D has actually cool and funs ettings that for some reason they don't use as much as loving Forgotten Realms. Is Spelljammer part of Forgotten Realms? I’d be down for a wild sci-fi/fantasy blend with living organic ships and colonial space hippos.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Were there two sets of bodybuilding twins in the late 80s/early 90s? I seem to remember a blonde due in a terrible action movie. Those same dudes were in several action movies, like the 1992 masterpiece Double Trouble. I can’t find a trailer for some reason, but the entire movie is up on YouTube. Not sure if it’s allowed to link it though. They’re legitimately fun movies though. They’re very clearly having fun making them and they’re not taking it seriously at all, and it’s as if someone cloned Chris Farley and forced them both to become very dumb SoCal bodybuilders. Each take it seems like they’re both right on the edge of breaking and laughing. Their hair, their mannerisms, the way they keep putting these enormous dudes in ridiculous 90s suits and fashion, something about it is just inherently funny.

Folks, brace yourselves for another incoming Neil Breen flick https://twitter.com/neilbreen/status/1630682259291537408?s=46&t=q9rx_Aj-WiQ7rU_XwHpUpg I thought the title in the tweet above was just a typo, but no, that’s apparently the actual formatting of the movie’s title. https://twitter.com/razzbender/status/1625010238230339586?s=46&t=q9rx_Aj-WiQ7rU_XwHpUpg That is some sociopath poo poo.

Chairman Capone posted:It’s funny that between The Black Hole and Star Trek TMP, two of the main Star Wars “copycats” were closer to 2001. And the other was a James Bond movie. Of the immediate post-Star Wars era of 78/79ish, the only thing of note that really does seem to take heavily from Star Wars is probably Battlestar Galactica. Yeah it’s mormon as hell and episodic like Trek, but most of the main characters are hotshot pilots, Adama has a very Obi-Wan type personality, and the faceless hordes of Cylons are definitely meant to remind you of Stormtroopers. Not to mention John Dykstra going straight from SW to BSG (and McQuarrie doing concept art) and bringing along a bunch of ILM guys and equipment to do all the modelwork, to the point where Fox tried to sue and Lucas went on to hold a grudge against him.

No Time to Die is an extremely self-serious slog and the only part that’s remotely fun to watch is the brief Ana de Armas team-up. I would genuinely rank it as my least favorite Craig Bond.

Depressing reminder than Moana, as originally conceived, was going to be a traditionally animated movie before it was delayed. Now it’s just another four-quadrant Rock vehicle.

Drax is almost a completely oddity for Bautista roles, the guy loves playing soft-spoken thoughtful dudes. And even as Drax he completely nails some of the most sincere quiet emotional beats of those movies.

I don’t hate the Rock, I just wish there was any variation in the roles he’s willing to play. He seems completely unwilling to push himself into uncomfortable stuff that doesn’t allow him to basically just play himself.

MH Knights posted:Taika Waititi? After Thor 4 it seems like a lot of people have had their fill of Taika for now. Taika’s issue seems more like a combination of oversaturation and spreading himself too thin between dozens of projects than any real decline in talent. Give him a few years for his various Disney projects to stall out and return to mid-budget comedies and he’ll be fine. CelticPredator posted:John Carpenter Carpenter’s a weird one because you can assume Memoirs of an Invisible Man was a result of Chevy Chase being impossible plus studio poo poo, then he bounces back with In The Mouth of Madness. Village of the Damned is a forgettable gun-for-hire job, Escape from LA is dogshit that he clearly just made so he and Kurt could hang out and get paid, and Vampires is bad but it’s mostly fun bad. Ghosts of Mars is back to dogshit and then he takes almost a decade off to do two episodes of Masters of Horror and The Ward, all of which are mediocre and forgettable. But I don’t think it’s because he declined or anything, he’s pretty clearly a guy who got continually hosed over by suits and just had his fill. I’d be willing to bet money that if he got a script he was super passionate about today he could probably still turn in a really solid movie. But he won’t because it’s not worth the hassle to him when he can just play video games, smoke, and do the occasional album with his son.
