This works because there are two posters itt: the ones who always love Star Wars and the ones who always hate Star Wars.

The poster who always loves Star Wars will tell you to watch the last Jedi because it’s the deepest and most interesting movie that subverts expectations

The poster who always hates Star Wars will tell you to watch the last Jedi because it’s absolutely incomprehensible and will therefore kill any desire you have to watch another and killed the franchise, making it the best

Keep in mind the core crew are film students. They (at least used to) get a huge kick out of going to a 24-hour film competition and laughing at how crappy everyone's submissions are. That's what Partners feels like. Honestly the only reason I even made it through Partners was realizing that I think the main villain is basing his portrayal off of Ledger's Joker. I looked it up once and the timelines mesh. Like they would have had to re-record a lot of his stuff late in production which meshes with the Ambulance Ex Machina. If you're not the sort of person to dig into movies like that, skip these kinds of recommends.

I might be able to have fun with Difficult People. But I'm old enough to have watched these sorts of training videos unironically for work. So this has massive nostalgia for me.

Now hold on while I write my dissertation about why Wish Upon is not a good movie night and a sure sign of bad ppinions in moopies.

First off, I've seen so much Disney astroturfing on forums lately. Like I guarantee if you scrub through SA you'll find some accounts posting a suspicious amount of "I sure do enjoy my Disney+ account(tm) fellow young people(r)!". This whole discussion is bought and paid for because Disney is terrified of losing relevancy. Beginning and end of story. But pretending for half a second that's not the case.

The current horror industry is trash. There's an unbelievable amount of international money looking to invest in anything that has half a claim to franchise potential and quickly turn out content that might be resold to some garbage streaming service or whatever. Anything that lowers any bar, like AI scripts, is going to result in waves of trash out of this industry.

I'd put Gerard Butler and his X has fallen firmly in this camp, he's getting old as poo poo too though.

I think the thread consensus last time this general topic came up is that the woke mind virus has made beefcake illegal and we live in the age of the power twink.

After it was featured on BotW, I tracked down a copy of Stone Cold starring Brian Bosworth and it is even more fantastic than the episode made it look. It literally feels like watching Norm MacDonald describe a parody of 80s action movies in a completely deadpan way where you're never actually sure if you're supposed to be laughing or not.

I feel like John Cena and Dave Bautista were gearing up for this type of career, but turns out both of them can do drama and comedy roles too. Plus they seem like more down to earth, empathic people that aren't demanding to make movies about beefcakeishly blowing the evildoers' heads off. Actually, that's probably why they're overall better actors than the 80s staples in the first place.

While there were several alleged issues during the shoot itself, problems reportedly arose between Lewis and producer Nat Wachsberger once filming stopped, the main catalyst for the film being shelved.

Lewis was reportedly unhappy with the film’s financing and announced that Wachsberger did not fulfill his obligations. Hearing this, Wachsberger threatened to sue Lewis for breach of contract, resulting in a fallout between the two that caused Lewis to leave with a rough cut of the film, according to a 2018 feature in The New York Times.

Gonna watch Escape from L.A. with dinner in a little while. What does the thread think about it? I've only seen it once before and I remember it not being great, but that was probably 15 years ago, so it's been a long time.

I have a friend who makes a living doing art for book covers and tv/movie promotional art. I haven't talked to him in a while but I imagine he's legit scared shitless he's going to be replaced by AI art in the not too distant future. It loving sucks.

Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry and science fiction legend Arthur C. Clarke's ashes were on board a private US lunar lander that, after a failed moonshot, re-entered Earth's atmosphere on Friday and burned-up on the way down. The intention had been to leave the ashes, among those from around 70 individuals including actors James Doohan (aka Scotty) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), on the moon's surface following a successful landing. Rodenberry's ashes have previously been a part of other space missions.

A Danzig movie having absolutely no soundtrack in it is incredible.

Also what's with Mike's cheeks? Is he putting makeup now? Nothing wrong with that of course.
