YA adventure might be mostly dead in movies but Shadow and Bone was mad popular on Netflix and is getting another season, while Disney is making a more book-accurate Percy Jackson series with the author actually involved this time.

Don't know if the entire movie will be good but this is very authentic to actual D&D experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtGgsyI99Rw

Big Mean Jerk posted: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. The director plays D&D but more importantly he did Game Night which I heard was good.

Big Mean Jerk posted: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. D&D's settings are about as interesting as you (or the DM) writes it. Even the 'default' Forgotten Realms has enough weird stuff like the interdimensional illithid-gith conflict and demon politics. Still, I am disappointed WOTC doesn't do more with Eberron. A world undergoing magic-based industrial revolution with trains, aircrafts and sentient robots have so much potential.

davidspackage posted:One of his other movies is called "I am here....now" That movie is hilarious. There's a scene where gangsters beat up a guy for several minutes straight and it's just a static above-waist close up of two guys weakly miming punching a tied-up man while stock punching sound effects play. Occasionally they briefly cut to shots of other people there silently watching.

secretly best girl posted:Nothing sums it up better than what a complete misfire the X-Files revival, in early 2016, was. The first of those two seasons had 3 good goofy episodes where everyone who wasn't the showrunner did a monster of the week funtime case, and then Chris Carter wrote a war on terror episode that was thinly veiled Charlie Hebdo poo poo and a two-parter about "what if Alex Jones was RIGHT?!" where it turned out vaccines were actually going to kill us all, literally called "My Struggle, part I & II". If I remember right, Chris even retconned the original series' conspiracy. Originally it was about aliens who used to be Earth's original inhabitants coming back to reclaim the planet. Now that's apparently fake and the government is using it as misdirection. But aliens are still real because the government have been injecting people with their DNA for decades which funnily enough turns the X-Files into this quasi-X-men where every weird human that have appeared in the X-Files (fire assassin, lightning gamer, stretchy liver eater, plant witch school counselor, mind control ronin etc) got their powers from alien genes. MechanicalTomPetty posted:I bet someone could still do a pretty drat good X-files style series even in this day and age, just lean less on the conspiracy stuff and more on the supernatural or Fringe-style weird science elements. Something like a mash-up of SCP Foundation and X-Com, where you have some overworked government bureau full of operatives slowly going insane because they aren't getting funded enough to deal with all the alien invasions and eldritch horrors they're expected to deal with every week. Fringe really was the best successor to X-Files. Covers all the same weird things with interesting characters but also being original with it's overarching story. Even the theme song and intro evokes the X-Files feel without being derivative. Plus they did the X-Files-style 'special intro' better. The closest we got to an SCP show is Warehouse 13, a show about people collecting and securing strange artifacts. It's also in a shared universe with Eureka (the show about a town of geniuses) and Alphas (basically federal X-Men). The MSJ fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Mar 21, 2023 |

nonathlon posted:Caught up with The Menu and did not like it. But I think it's less that it was a bad film and more that it wasn't the film I was expecting: The chef didn't even want to kill Anya Taylor-Joy because she wasn't part of his murder-suicide plan. The cheeseburger was just to help him make up his mind because it reminded him of a time when he was still optimistic and happy.

duz posted:Supposedly all those rip off movies were rejected scripts they filed the names off of. This is allegedly the same thing that happened with the Fables comic. Rejected adaptation scripts became Once Upon A Time and Grimm. Speaking of Grimm, the most fairy tale part of that series might be the fact that the main character, a cop, arrests the monsters more than he kills them. At least in the first season.

One thing I'll say is the people who wants this prequel movie to have "G1 cartoon designs" are crazy because in G1 the Cybertronian people have the same designs they have on Earth 4 million years later with only their vehicle modes being different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1ujpoDlgRU This a chance to make up new designs for the characters like the High Moon games and Transformers Animated did, which recalls their Earth forms without looking too similar.

You can say live-action Flounder looks like a real fish but there's a reason HP Lovecraft used a race of fish-face people as scary inhuman monsters, and it's not racism this time.
