starkebn posted:Watched "Dredd" again yesterday, still as good as people say. The satire of the awful justice system almost doesn't come through though. Yeah the director said in an interview they wanted to get more into that and the crazier dredd stuff in the sequels, and they were just using the first one as an introduction/proof of concept type thing. Man I really wish they had gotten to do a sequel.

God drat management don't know true art when they hear it.

d00kiemastah posted:Lol, so is it fair to say that getting rid of piracy was a big motivation behind the move to streaming for studios? It’d make too much sense if movie and TV studios destroy themselves because they were big mad at Pirate Bay Nah the big push was that the studios saw how successful netflix was and wanted in. Also companies love subscription services, see current I.T/Software industry. Edit: Arc Hammer posted:This is very reassuring they certainly have their priorities straight. I'm going to laugh so hard when this bombs.

Stink Billyums posted:ds9 is the second best 90's tv show about a space station Agreed. Baywatch: International Space Station was a brilliant show. Really got to show off a more intelligent side of the life-guarding life. Also the swimsuit spacesuits were hot. They didn't end up going in the water much so um probably not necessary though.

What I'm saying is Manhattan Project should of directly just tried to make Godzilla's rather than nuclear weapons. Why be one step removed from greatness?

NorgLyle posted:I legitimately feel bad for Daisy Ridley and John Boyega (and, to a lesser extent, Oscar Issac) because they are just as capable as Mark Hammill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford but they didn't get to have movies that made them into pop culture celebrities. Oscar Issac, like Ford, is good enough that sleepwalking his way through three stupid films isn't going to do much aside from get him some money and build his brand but the other two should have got a lot more out of being in Star Wars. I mean the two stars of twilight manage to put that garbage behind them and both go on to good careers, so think they'll be fine. I mean outside crazy online star wars fan assholes no once cares about, I've never seen anyone say anything bad about their performances or anything.

Jose Oquendo posted:The leaked Frankenstein dark ride in that area seems pretty neat actually. Not sure why they are calling it Dark Universe when it has nothing to do with that aborted shared universe. They probably spent a ton of money developing branding and what not for it, may as get something out of it I guess? But yeah not a theme park person -last one I went to would of been two decades ago now- so probably not the best person to wage in on this, but a theme park area built around the old universal monsters actually seems like a pretty cool idea to me. kitchy fun for the adults, scary for the younger kids, around Halloween you could do a lot of stuff with it. Honestly far better idea than the whole "cinematic universe" idea was. Although as someone -I think a page or two ago- mentioned, dark universe could of worked too if they weren't trying to make it all 300 million dollar marvel'esq action type poo poo. Series of vaguely connected smaller budget horror films by writers/directors who like the old movies/genre, could of worked well. They just got greedy.

No Mods No Masters posted:Why do so many shows release the first two episodes in the first week. Is it just a lack of confidence? Not sure if this is the reason but often the first episode of a show isn't that representative of what the show's like as there's often quite a bit of set up/exposition in the first episode, and even just the cast and crew are still figuring stuff out, so first episodes can sometimes be a bit rough. Particular if it was a pilot that was filmed a bit before. On the audience side, yeah probably a bit of luck of confidence, the broadcasts may be thinking if they watch two episodes they may get more invested in the show, and be more likely to remember to watch it next week.

Jose Oquendo posted:IIRC, the first Twister was fine, but the big draw was the crazy CG effects. This movie won’t have that same gimmick so I’m not sure what the point of the movie is. That's what got people in to see it, but it was a fun, decently paced, pop corn flick with a surprisingly good cast. Not the best movie in the world by far, but a lot better than it had any right to be. The people in the trailer for the new one seem a mix of boring and annoying characters, and got the feeling from the trailer films going to be a dull dreck with just a lot of people yelling about boring poo poo no one cares about, while a wind machine blows into their face from just off screen. There's wasn't really any sense of fun or adventure or thrills or even danger. But yeah as Jose said, been enough big budget disaster movies that a few houses getting wrecked by nature isn't anything new.

JP movie set in the distant future where dinosaurs have taken over, started a new civilization post humans, eventually got into genetic engineering, and then created a Trash age(?) park, filled with genetically recreated humans, who obviously get loose and eat all the dinosaurs.

They were around during dinosaur times though, as far back as 130 million years! Also if you Google "how long have bee's existed" it auto suggests "how long have bees existed on this planet." So I'm pretty sure google knows bees are some sort of alien species traveling the universe and providing honey for all friendly like, as well.

bitterandtwisted posted:JP but members of an exclusive fine dining society are bringing back long extinct creatures to eat and invite our group of protagonists to sample the delights. Third act twist: you were eating hominids Not sure how much of a twist that is. If a bunch of billionaires are getting together to eat clones, I'm just going to assume it's going to be clones of themselves. The twist would be if it's not cloning, but their just eating themselves from the future, to you know, gain their future selves powers and what not. Well if time machines are ever invented I just got myself a got myself a great business idea!

Between comic book movies dying and star wars stuff dying hasn't been a good last few years for disney. I wonder if they'll go back to producing good quality original animations! Hahaha, but yeah it will be interesting to see if they just continue to try and bleed starwars and marvel till every last drop is gone, or if they'll see what other ip they can make a blockbuster series out of. Probably both.

1glitch0 posted:the first jurassic park movie should have been about them making their connecting flights to get to the island and ended when they started to open the big jurassic park gate The second part needs to mostly concentrate on a plot line that doesn't go anywhere, is never resolved, and is pretty much completely unrelated to the rest of the plot. You know just to pad things out a little bit. Maybe give the audience one off screen death by dinos. Just as a little treat.

Crescent Wrench posted:This whole digression is very disheartening. I expected more media literacy from the Star Wars chat thread. You right. So looking at it from a more straightforward narrative perspective, the humans are fascists therefor the empire, thus making the bugs the rebels. You can see this in the humans having all the huge ships and what not and bugs using guerrilla tactics to fight. We can also assume there is a "Luke Skywalker" bug out there somewhere, who was but a simple farmer bug who had a call to action by an old wise mystical bug, learnt mystical powers, and launched a rock at Buenos Ares AKA the death star. The second part of the movie up to it's end is the empire strikes back, where the humans retaliate in force and the bugs are put on the back foot (back feet?), and we can only assume in any official sequel -the made for tv dreck don't count- it would of concluded the arc with the skywalker bug facing off and killing the evil human controlling everything, thus defeating the evil human empire and ridding it's presences from the galaxy once and for all.
