Pope Corky the IX posted:And then Dr. Drew put them on the same season of Celebrity Rehab and acted like it was a complete accident so he could continue abusing her but now on television. Was Dr. Drew always a horrible quack or did that happen later because my memory of him on Loveline was "Dude with decent advice putting up with idiot co-host". But that was also like 20 years ago at this point so I'm going to assume he always sucked and was just better at hiding it.

galagazombie posted:It’s hilarious that they’ve adapted IT twice now and both times made the exact identical mistake of separate kids and adults chapters despite the adult parts in the book only being a framing device that makes up like a fourth of the book tops. At least they basically knocked out of the park with the original Stand. I rewatched the 2020 version recently and then the 90's version and it was just baffling that the 90's movie had about 6 hours to tell the same story and managed to flesh out all of main cast and show the effects of the plague with less budget and is just insanely watchable and engaging, unlike the 2020 version that rushes to Boulder before meandering there for a while. Also I barely cared about most of the cast or outright disliked them. Not to say it's not a talented cast, there's some really good actors in the 2020 version but they're wasted on a bad script and soulless direction.

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. Zero_Grade posted:Speaking of Stephen King novels, I'm still annoyed about the Dark Tower movie. It's clearly a property that (imo) needs the HBO-style big budget episodic adaptation for best results, instead of whatever the mess we got was. Give it enough time and I'm sure we'll get a prestige TV adaptation at some point. I'm more surprised we didn't get a TV series while GoT was super hot. Which reminds me I need to get finish the second book of that series. Probably should re-read Gunslinger because it's been a few years since I first read it.

Zero_Grade posted:2, 3, and 4 are all good, with 3 being my personal favorite and one of the reasons I think it would translate well to TV. I wish I could recommend skipping 5 and 6 because they really are dreadful, but you can't really. At least book 7 is somewhat better (it's not fantastic or anything, but alright enough and I'm also in the camp that likes the ending so there's that). Absentia, Oculus and Dr. Sleep were all good and I've heard the Oujia sequel he did doesn't suck but I haven't seen that one yet. I don't think I ever got around to watching any of the Netflix series he did before canceling my subscription.

DarkSol posted:I unabashedly love The Black Hole and am of the opinion that it is a way better movie than people give it credit for. I absolutely agree with you about the score, the effects work, even the cast was interesting. I definitely need to watch it again because I went into it totally blind beyond "Weird Disney sci-fi movie that Anthony Perkins was in" and it's such a trip of a movie that I remember finishing it, and not really being able to figure out if I thought it was good or bad. It was interesting for sure and usually when I have that reaction to a movie I give it a second watch to get a better feel for it. Maybe I'll do that this weekend. Double bill it with Tron, a movie I love more than I should.

DarkSol posted:To be fair, we got a better deal with A View to a Kill in some respects. Christopher Walken is way more charismatic than Gert Fröbe as a Bond villain. Actually kind of foreshadowing the whole tech rear end in a top hat type that we're dealing with now. And at least May Day's about face isn't because of the power of rape. View to a Kill has a good theme but Living Daylights is the superior 80's bond theme. And I say that as someone who loves both Duran Duran and A-ha. https://youtu.be/DfFbiFoAWjM vs https://youtu.be/Fp4CR2HcHLQ

"Showed up for the first time in a couple years for Mania" is more accurate. And when I say "Couple of years" I mean he came back briefly in 2019 or 2020 as an authority figure for a bit, probably wrestled a match or two and then bounced again. Snoop Dogg subbed in for Shane at Mania and did a people's elbow to Miz to win the "Fill time with the Miz and Snoop hosting" segment.

Neo Rasa posted:My dream Metroid movie would still be a quasi-documentary about Chozo history and mythology like Fata Morgana. Like just literally send Werner Herzog and some Metroid accurate costumes and props to Greenland and let him go wild for a couple of months. The only requirements he should be given is that the story should generally be about a bounty hunter named Samus learning all this stuff and that she has cool armor and some random Metroid Prime lore entries to stick to for the narration like "Chronicles of the Chozo Part II" and "Small Energy Refill". Is Klaus Kinski still alive, and if so, how do we get him in this movie. He can be Ridley.

There hasn't been a new game since the disastrous "Security Breach" two years ago and Scott got outted as a republican dipshit not long before that. Also there have been at least 2 other movies that just ripped off the "Killer kids entertainment animatronics" bit that came and went in the time it's taken for this thing to drag itself out of development. At least it's coming to Peacock so maybe it'll be worth an hour on a Saturday afternoon when I'm bored and remember I have a Peacock subscription.

Neo Rasa posted:If it's coming to Peacock they'd be smart to just be like hey 5 Nights creator gently caress you we own your poo poo now and just incorporate it into Chucky. Damballah can't be the ONLY spirit who was invoked with bad timing to get someone stuck in a doll after all. That would be smart, but he's got his name in the credits for the script, which TBH could mean he wrote a draft at somepoint in the life of the production, or it means he actually worked on the final draft that was shot and will be released later this year. So I would assume that he was smart enough not to completely gently caress himself over on rights, and could in theory take them to court if they tried to do a crossover he didn't like, but I'm speculating wildly about a contract negotiation that I have absolutely no knowledge of other than as I said, wild speculation and extrapolation from what little I know about hollywood contracts and such. Also the Banana Splits movie was way better than it had any right to be and deserves your viewership more than the FNAF movie. It's also gory as hell which I'm almost positive this FNAF movie won't be. PG-13 tops.

Executives are not creatives. They do not give a poo poo about anything but making money number go up and remaking poo poo that people recognize is more likely to make number go up than an original idea that gasp might fail. GDT is a dude with big ideas that cost a lot of money. Money that could be lost if the movie isn't the biggest thing since *insert bajillon dollar property* thus we cannot take the risk because the executives would lose a couple of cents from their bank accounts and heaven forbid they lose those cents!
