The trailer for the... Tetris movie(?) just came out.

Not exactly what I expected.

I love how the story behind Tetris is full of enough legal wrangling and ratfuckery between corporations for a whole miniseries and they just boiled it down to 'plucky entrepreneur vs sinister communists'.

Dudes also been with New Line since the late 80's or early 90's, I know I've seen his name pop up in the credits of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies a couple times.

He actually got ousted sometime in the early 2000s for getting a public blowjob at an Oscar party (which, post-Weinstein seems laughably tame as far as Hollywood sex scandals go). And it's probably not a coincidence that New Line started going to poo poo once he left - from a creative standpoint, he's legitimately one of the only good execs in Hollywood.

Oh no, we're going to have to endure months of racist wankers whining about April being played by a black woman. Willing to place a cash bet on idiots saying something about how her surname means she's of Irish descent so she must be white.

I could have sworn Sebastian was a lobster. No! I Know Sebastian was a lobster. Google images has to be lying to me!

I mean, he definitely looks more like a lobster than a crab, so I think you can blame the animators for this

Agreed

View To a Kill is always funny because Roger Moore is clearly way too old for that role

I rewatched Octopussy on a whim last night and almost every single action scene is ruined because they have to keep cutting between the stuntmen doing amazing, crazy stuff and Roger Moore on a set that only barely matches the environment. Also, speaking of Bond movies chasing trends, this one is so Indiana Jones that Temple of Doom's dinner scene might as well have been lifted wholesale from it. Also, somehow even more racist than Temple of Doom, and certainly a lot duller.

Didn't Cleese already do this in live action? (Rat Race.)

Also, I'm bewildered that nobody has ever gone "Hey, Wacky Races exists as a thing with name recognition, so why don't we just do... Wacky Races?"

Speed Racer was too awesome for the box office, so we're probably never getting a live-action adaptation of a racing cartoon again

I swear, film critics these days are kinda pathetic in the way they prostrate themselves before any big blockbuster, past or present, that doesn't look like grey, processed slurry. Like, yeah, the clip there looks really generic, but that doesn't make Michael Bay's stuff any less awful or gross.

It sounds like he is no longer involved with Star Wars, so you can take that off

I think Flash Gordon's probably a no-go too, just because (iirc) that's something he was attached to at Fox before the Disney takeover and there's been no movement on it at all since.

Personally I was glad they didn't just re-do the original tournament movie. The bigger problem was Original-Character-Do-Not-Steal 'Cole Young.'

You can do a Mortal Kombat movie without a tournament. You can't spend the entire movie hyping up that tournament up if you're never gonna deliver, though. Just a baffling decision that makes me think nobody involved had ever glanced at a screenplay before, or that the whole thing was just spat out by an algorithm. One of the worst movies of the decade so far, easily.

It's mainly that the biggest costs for anything are always labor, and their profits can go up astronomically if they are just using AI to write scripts and then another AI and CGI to just recreate older actors instead of shooting real ones. So that is their preferred future even if it's not going to go as well for them as they think.

Studios sowing: Haha, yes no actors, this is great!

Studio reaping: WTF people like actors this sucks

Is there a section in Beetlejuice hell where you're forced to watch reboots and sequels to movies from the 80s until your eyes bleed? Because I think we're there.
