Tars Tarkas posted:Three Thousand Years of Longing - More like three thousand years of longing to go to the bathroom! Wait, this joke was supposed to be in the Avatar 2 section... This is what happens when you don't proof read! This film was about a djinn played by Irdis Elba who tells stories to Tilda Swinton and is directed by George Miller, except that it's just boring. It totally blew Miller's run of great films. Luckily we have a Mad Max spin off coming up, we should be back on track soon enough. This could have worked had Miller allowed his actors to be as horny as his Witches of Eastwick leads

Honestly I'm just glad the guy seems to be using his paycheck from his live action Alladin movie for Disney (which somehow made a billion dollars) to make small caper-type movies he cares about even if the movies themselves are pretty average.

Pirate Jet posted:I am really not digging this phase of Nicolas Cage’s career where he embraces the memes about himself, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was execrable. I'm fine as long as we get a Mandy or Pig every year. I feel like Bringing Out the Dead is due for a rediscovery by the Cagesploitation crowd. It's all very high energy and lurid and Cage does heightened noir narration while getting hosed up on various substances and hallucinating corpses climbing up out of the street... but also it's a great, and sincerely and seriously mounted, movie aside from that.

Neo Rasa posted:How so? Much like how DC already built the entire next phase around a movie heavily involving Ezra Miller they'll just keep on trucking. DC may have gone ahead with their Miller movie and still plan to release it, but outside of that EM has nothing lined up. It's likely The Flash is the last time we'll ever see them in a major motion picture.

Barbie would be so much more interesting to me if it were just a straightforward rom-com with a strong aesthetic instead of this grand thesis statement about the brand itself. The reference point should have been The Young Girls of Rochefort, not The Lego Movie.

A lot of those proposed Mattel movies sound dire. Kaufman-esque Barney, gently caress off. On the other hand knocking out cheap PG-13 horror programmers based on gimmicky toys like the Magic Eight Ball seems likely to turn to a profit. I expect we'll see a bunch of those and the more expensive prospects like Hot Wheels go unmade.muscles like this! posted:They should really just start with The Magician's Nephew since it is a prequel about the origins of Narnia and would let them test the waters (and also keep them from doing ANOTHER adaptation of the first book.)

galagazombie posted:I’m halfway convinced all the right wing “outrage” over Barbie is astroturfing by the studio simply bribing them to hype it as some grand political manifesto instead of the soulless corporate glop of “Lego Movie: Pink Edition” it so obviously is. Because I’m only seeing it from hoity toity YouTube ecelebs. Compare to the organic free range bigotry of say.. the black The Little Mermaid where you saw the hoi poloi of vileness on image boards and forums coming out of the woodwork. The right wing stuff is genuine, but it's also a case of the influencers in that sphere churning out content that's very similar to stuff they've done before (and very recently) for sake of getting content out and they've reached the point where the performativeness of their outrage is beginning to show a bit more. And at the moment their audience seems more worked up about Jim Caviezel's Qanon-curious Taken-alike than Ben Shapiro burning dollies for children. Also, Elon is loving over one of the Right's digital battlegrounds of choice. High Warlord Zog fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Jul 23, 2023 |

https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates/status/1712098023038201930 Jokes about Black Phillip: Origins and 2 Mid 2 Sommar aside, they should bring back the John Grisham movie. Sturdy mid-budget countroom dramas like the ones that used to print money back in the 90s, with 2-3 big names and fun character actors around the margins (remember when Tobin Bell played a mob goon called The Nordic Man in The Firm), a couple of murders and maybe a little chase scene or gunfight at the end.

You know, for all the outrage Ben Shapiro put out about Barbie, the movie he's probably most pissed at is Sound of Freedom and the conservatives who aren't on his payroll who worked out how to actually make money from moving pictures.Carpet posted:Bentkey, a name that screams "suitable YouTube channel for kids" They have a Bluey knock off.

Rebecca Ferguson's role in the recent Mission Impossibles is so weird. She has the love interest/will-they-won't-they/old flame part but she isn't written as a love interest, so you have all this flimsy plot business that hinges on her character and Ethan Hunt being in very deep professional respect with each other.

well why not posted:Hunt is a lunatic for his friends, he lost 3 plutonium cores because he wouldn't let Luther die. They make it a theme but it's still nutty. That angle feels like a byproduct of of the couch jump incident. Like at some point a focus group after that said we no longer want to see Cruise as a romantic hero and because of the one two punch of Edge of Tomorrow and MI4 were so well recieved we now have weirdly asexual Ethan Hunt from hereon out. The Craig James Bond movies wish they had the kind of chemistry Cruise and Fergurson have for Craig any of the post Eva Green love interests.

It's the sort of insane, over the top poo poo that the films would have been better if they embraced. No, that stuff is awful, especially in Battle of the Five Armies. Why am I watching a grey washed out soul-numbing hour and a half battle piece based on 3 pages of a book for young children that can't concieve an action beat that doesn't involve a dozen bodies hitting the floor?

FlamingLiberal posted:The Hunger Games prequel took in a pretty underwhelming $44 million at the box office this weekend domestically. That's less than half the opening weekend of the final film that game out in 2015. It also only cost $100 million (how loving nuts is it that thats a nothing budget it the current blockbuster landscape) so when all is said and done it'll probably turn a profit.
