Spike Lee's Oldboy remake got dumped in to 583 locations this weekend. Without much of a marketing push, the movie tanked with just $1.25 million for the five-day frame ($850,000 three-day). Based on these terrible results, it's unlikely the movie hangs in theaters long enough to make it past the $3 million mark, making this one of the biggest bombs in recent memory.

I don't understand how you don't like Malcolm X. I know people have issue with Spike Lee's aggressive approach to his politics but it was still a fantastic piece of filmmaking and probably the best performance of Denzel Washington's career.
Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on December 02, 2013, 12:37:54 PM
25th Hour is the only Spike Lee "joint" that I like
I remember liking most of his movies of his at the time I saw them, but I don't think I've ever watched one of his movies twice. Maybe Malcolm X, but it still would have been ages ago. I don't think his movies age well. They have a definite time and place tied up in them. For example, Get on the Bus would seem tired, trite, and shitty today, but I remember thinking it was decent when I saw it. Ditto for Clockers, which is a 90s movie if I've ever seen one. Come to think of it, that may be his problem. He's still making movies like this is the 90s. It's not, and those movies no longer gain traction. I remember thinking that when I saw Kings of Summer and Mud. They're 90s movies. I can't imagine either one catching on with wider audiences today. Spike branched out with Inside Man, which I thought was good, and then had this abortion of a movie.

Like I said, dated. His movies are all about the moment they're made in. He doesn't make things that are timeless.

I think this is the crux of any disagreement. Spike Lee's movies were timely, I just think that those windows of time have largely passed them by. His movies were pretty good but watching them now would give me a headache.

Yeah, when I say I don't think I've ever watched any of his movies twice (aside from Bamboozled and perhaps Malcolm X), I've never wanted to. I have zero desire to sit down and watch old Spike Lee movies today.

Mo' Better Blues was fantastic, but I love Branford Marsalis so I may be slightly biased. That film has, IMO, the greatest soundtrack of any movie ever. Even if you don't like the movie you should own the soundtrack album.

Brief little intro to the characters and then...military torture porn. For about an hour and a half. Just glorification of gore and zero characterization.

Glad you liked it.
They really could have told a story, Lone Survivor was a great book. I suppose it's a shame, the leader of the mission won the CMH. Patchogue NY has a bunch of things dedicated to him.
Wonderful they went an easy route.
Was it like Black Hawk Down? BHD was pretty truthful to the facts and I quite enjoyed it.

Oh god no. Blackhawk Down was a great movie. Berg just focused on the wrong aspects of the story. He made it too much about LOOK HOW THEY SUFFERED, like it was Passion of the Christ.
SPOILER: For example, the whole part about him being taken care of by random villagers. Takes about 15 minutes. All you see is a bunch of guys who seem willing to get slaughtered to protect this random American. Zero explanation until AFTER the end montage, then you get some little blurb saying "Hey guys, we forgot to mention, but here's why that happened!"

Oh good lord, I will not see it then, thank you. At least Bruckheimer, like him or not and Ridley Scott made it their mission to be true to the story and honor the soldiers. I have tons of respect for that. Like I said it's a shame because this movie could have been and should have been a 2013 version of BHD. I guess I will see the Hobbit or something.
Yeah the villager thing was an important part of the book, why show that when you can blow things up, I suppose. Unreal, the guy that saved Lutrell was as big a hero as anyone. lol

They very well may have stayed true to the story, but the presentation was just shock and awe, and not very effective at that. It was just poorly made. As for the villager, he's definitely shown. It should have been the focus of the movie, IMO. Instead, he and his kid never give any hint of why they're helping him. You just find out about Pashdvahawhatever after the movie's over. It just seems like random acts of kindness at a very deadly cost prior to that. "You're all going to be slaughtered for this!" "Cool! Save the American because...uh...just save the American!"

FTR, reviews so far have been good. I may be wrong. I dug it for about 30 - 45 minutes, but by 75 minutes I was done.
I suspect there is, from some quarters at least, a fear of passing negative judgement on a movie about real soldiers and real events. I remember the reviews of Act Of Valor, the breadth of reviews was notable. I imagine there are some publications for whom a negative review of such movies might be treading on dangerous ground.
(NB: I have not seen Act Of Valor and therefore have no view on it. I'm just recalling the reactions I read and heard.)

The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

The term "purse" originally referred to a small bag for holding coins. In British English, it is still used to refer to a small coin bag. A "handbag" is a larger needed accessory, that holds items beyond currency, such as a woman's personal items and emergency items to survive on. American English typically uses the terms "purse" and "handbag" interchangeably. The term "handbag" began appearing in the early 1900s. Initially, it was most often used to refer to men's hand-luggage. Women's accessory bags grew larger and more complex during that period, and the term was attached to the women's accessory. Handbags are used as fashion accessories as well as functional ones

It's a who's who of undertalented and overrated actors - Gosling, Rose Byrne, Ray Liotta. It's too long and it doesn't have the writing to fulfil its ambition. The director desperately wishes he was Scorcese, but Scorcese has the skill to develop stories rather than just mangling them together. Any time your narrative hangs on massive coincidences and unlikely actions, you're doing it wrong.

I thought it was borderline brilliant. It was a film that was horribly marketed.
It got weaker with each act, but I still really enjoyed it and I will probably end up buying it on Blu-ray eventually.
The cinematography, the score (Bon Iver, babbie), and every actor except for the kid that played Cooper's son were great IMO.

Saw the preview in theatres for Anchorman 2. The very beginning had the black dude showing his roomates his rooster for like 10 seconds. Something about washing his junk with tanning lotion.

TS3 was the best. The one thing my wife and I will always agree on are animated movies. She's obsessed with Robotech. It's pretty bad, but I still feel lucky.
I've been married a long time now, so I know the drill.
If she wants to watch reality crap (or romcom) I use it as an excuse to grab a beer and a smoke and watch what I want in another room. She ends up feeling bad after an hour and I get sexy time.
If she wants to rent a sappy movie from redbox, I always get one for myself. She falls asleep at the end of said sappy movie and I put my good movie in. She sleeps and I enjoy.

Not really. I don't dislike Fisher Price toys or Donna Karan dresses or John Deere tractors because I don't have any strong feelings about any of them; they're not designed for me, and they hold no interest for me. All may be exceptionally well made and extremely well suited for the task at hand, and I respect that, but I have no desire to spend any time with them because they don't suit any purpose in my life. Equally, animated children's movies. I get that other people like them and that's fine, they just aren't for me.

I'm not sure if you're deliberately avoiding my point or if I'm not explaining it very well. The story does nothing for me. The animation does nothing for me. It doesn't speak to me or connect with me on any level at all. I am not a child, nor do I have children, nor do I have any interest in nostalgia. Like and dislike suggest a level of emotion and interest that do not exist for me with this movie. The best I can come up with is that I was completely uninvolved with it - there isn't a single thing about it that connected with me in any way, shape or form. It was just.... on.

No excrement. During my sophomore year at college, my roommate ordered a bunch of this stuff called 2C-E over the internet. It's synthetic mescaline, but it wasn't illegal yet because it had just been invented. I took a bunch of that and watched Spirited Away. This particular scene is burnt into my mind forever.

I received 2C-I (or maybe it was 2C-B) from another member of this forum when I was in my soph year of college. I took a hike in the nature preserve, got caught in a downpour, played Halo 2 with some neighbors (spent the whole time running away from the bad guys), and listened to the album Obscura by Gorguts (it finally made sense). Didn't get around to watching a movie though.

The point at which I really knew I was going to hate it was when he asked for a ticket to Chicago.
"Smoking or non smoking?"
"Smoking."
She hands him a ticket with smoke pouring off it.
The point at which I turned it off was when he was sitting on the plane and the lady next to him asks him if he's nervous.
"Yes", he says.
"First time?"
"No, I've been nervous lots of times."

I have no issue with pop culture references, and yes, any movie that's reliant on them depends upon you having been there.

I've said consistently that I don't like it and why.

I've tried to explain why I may feel differently about things to you, but this seems to be beyond your ability or willingness to try and understand.

I think Henny Youngman when I see that description. Could argue Rodney Dangerfield too, but he also did anecdotes and jokes. Dice in his heyday also killed one-liners.
You're entitled to hate Airplane! I just vehemently disagree with you. There hasn't been a slapstick type comedy in freaking ages that has been properly pulled off. I think it's a dead art at this point.

There's a difference between "I don't get it" and "I don't like it". I understand the jokes. I get them. They just don't make me laugh.
Also, I didn't say it was the worst thing I've ever seen, I said that it was an appalling sack of excrement. The worst thing I've ever seen, at least in terms of comedy movies, is probably Norbit.

By the way, this perfectly demonstrates my previous point. You simply can't get your head round the concept that someone doesn't like something that you do, so the only logical conclusion in your mind is that they didn't understand it. There's no conceivable way that someone could understand it and not feel the same way that you do.

I don't see how it's possible to even accidentally watch Norbit.
It's a long time ago, but I suspect it was related to trying to have sex. Yes, I should have realised that I probably shouldn't be having sex with someone who thinks that watching Norbit is a good idea, but sometimes the little head takes over.

Pulp Fiction is superior to both of those movies.
If you liked them you would definitely enjoy the masterpiece, Pulp Fiction.
It's clearly Tarantino's best film, imo. If Tarantino-type movies are not your thing, that's cool. However, if you liked reservoir Dogs (love that movie), Pulp Fiction is better.
But...if you don't want to watch it because admitting you have no interest in it makes you feel special, well then, by all means...feel special. You are missing out, though. It's a landmark film.

Guys, you're just going to make it worse. On Pulp Fiction, he's decided to act like a toddler. When I first expressed surprise years ago that he hadn't seen it, he said he should get around to it but it simply never happened. When people started making fun, he gradually decided he wouldn't watch it simply because everyone insisted he should. It's counterproductive at this point.

Quote
The plot of the movie is simple. College freshman Josh Wheaton (not to be confused with director Joss Whedon) elects to take a philosophy class. His professor, Dr. Radisson, informs the class they can skip the course’s hardest section, on God, if they all simply get to the point and admit that “God is dead.” Josh refuses because he’s a Christian (you can tell because of his Newsboys shirt) and learns that the alternative involves arguing for his belief in front of the class. Inspired by biblical passages that declare that Jesus will disown him before God if he disowns Jesus before man, Josh rises to the challenge. At the conclusion of three 20 minute lectures, he bests his atheist professor and convinces all 80 students in the class that God is not dead—including a Chinese student, who calls him “Mr. Josh.” (His rich Chinese (Buddhist?) father, who apparently lives in the back of his limo, is none too pleased.
There are a number of B-stories. Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson makes a cameo or two to defend religious belief, and Radisson’s Christian wife (a former student of his) leaves him because they are “unequally yoked.” There is also a young Muslim girl, Ayisha, who works on campus and is forced to wear a head covering on campus by her very “traditional” Muslim father. She is forced to come out of the closet (i.e., admit that she is a Christian) to her father when he finds out she has been listening to Christian scripture on her iPod. (We are not told how or why she converted.) He beats her for doing so, and when she confesses Jesus as her savior, he almost chokes her to death, but then instead disowns her, throwing her out of the house.
Then there is “Pastor Dave” who encourages Josh to take on his philosophy professor, but then is kept from going on vacation with Reverend Jude because God keeps every car Dave touches from starting. This allows him to still be around to stand up for family values when Ayisha comes to him for help; he instructs her to choose her loyalty to Jesus above her family. And he is also there at the end of the film to lead Professor Radisson through the sinner’s prayer after Radisson is fatally hit by a car but kept alive by God just long enough to see the error of his ways in a very “no atheists in foxholes” moment.
Oh, and I almost forgot Amy Ryan, the vegetarian humanist reporter, who attacks Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson and his wife for killing ducks, then finds out she has terminal cancer, is consequently dumped by her self-serving poopchute atheist boyfriend (apparently her only friend in the world), and then led to salvation by the Christian rock group Newsboys before one of their concerts—where all our main characters (except the dead philosophy professor) rock out for a few songs. Willie Robertson congratulates Josh on his accomplishments, and the concert attendees (and movie attendees) text “God is not dead” to everyone on their contact list.
In the end, everyone from the Muslim, to the Buddhist, to the atheist has been won over by Jesus because of Josh's brave stand for God. (The issue of how proving that God exists also proves that Jesus is God was not addressed.) It reminded me a bit of Rocky IV—the one where Rocky fights the Russian. In the end, even the Russians are rooting for Rocky. “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!”

The overall theme seemed to be that doing the right thing meant more than life itself, but I'm not entirely sure that was the point.

That's what *all* anthologies are. It's not an uncommon film type. There's hundreds of movies done in that style.
Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow being some of the most popular of the horror subgenre of that.
The main problem with the first V/H/S was that some of the stories were much better than others, and some dragged on. V/H/S 2 has only 4, and they're really good. Particularly the 3rd one...is freaking insane.
also , SPOILER :
The whole point at the end is that watching these fucked up movies (which in the movie itself, are supposed to be real within that context) is that it eventually drives the watchers of the film insane and into a supernatural world.

I found it much better the second time I watched it. Tom Hanks characters make the most sense, as you really watch his soul progress from evil to good. The gay couple start off good, but while one gets progressively more neutral through the stories, the other becomes a hero. I suppose there are many ways to look at the movie, and I am sure that was intentional, but that was my takeaway.
The anime looking story line could have been a standalone movie easily.

In 2006, George Clooney said in an interview with Barbara Walters that in Batman & Robin he played Batman as gay. "I was in a rubber suit and I had rubber nipples. I could have played Batman straight, but I made him gay." Walters then asked, "George, is Batman gay?" To which he responded, "No, but I made him gay."

Apparently the first trailer came out today for 50 Shades Of Grey, and without having seen it there's no way that it belongs in any thread other than this. It's currently tied with Transformers 4 at the top of my list of movies I least want to see.Good opportunity to go to the movie solo to take advantage of the rooster hungry girls exiting the theatre

50 Shades of Grey started out as Twilight fan fiction. I couldn't imagine a less enticing genesis for any creative work.

Hahah check out his films rating with the critics over the years, this has to be a record, for futility :
His net worth of $300M makes your use of the word "futility" questionable. I agree that most of his movies are pretty awful (although he has done some good stuff - Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore were good, I didn't hate Click and Punch Drunk Love is supposed to be excellent) but people go and see his movies over and over again. He's a $20M per movie banker.

I am happy for his net worth, congrats, lots of people that make hideous movies are wealthy, it doesn't make what they do any better. That's the pay scale in Hollywood. His films are terrible, I listed 30 films they're all the equivalent of Robitussin. To date I have not watched one Adam Sandler movie that is truly good. There are some that are so bad they're good but that's a whole other criteria. So I will use the word futility because his movies are garbage.

No. Trading Places is a stereotypical black man and white man, just like Lethal Weapon, The Bucket List, The Shawshank Redemption, Remember the Titans, jesus the list goes on and on.

A small business owner who acts as a consultant for white grooms and help them make sure their wedding day is a success.
Really nailed the black community with that one! Hoo boy, so dead on!

How the freak do women justify this excrement? We have the whole #Yesallwomen movement, and then women swoon over some crap about a woman who gets off on being treated like a piece of excrement and a slave. It makes no sense. Thankfully my wife thinks the whole thing is retarded. I just can't respect any woman who is into it.

Have to call you out on this man. As males we grew up with every movie being about guys wanting to get laid. Some women like to get laid too you know. Why does it matter what gets her off?
I think the whole dominatrix thing is stupid too. I'm not going to lick some chics boots or get a whip shoved up my derriere, but apparently there are plenty of guys that like it. This has been depicted in countless books and movies over the years, so now when the roles are reversed everything changes?

What roles? It's not role reversal. Apparently the BDSM a community hates it because it's not fun and it's not fantasy...it's abuse. Straight up abuse. It's the culturally acceptable version of rape. And women love it. It's so freaking hypocritical. I don't want to hear in one breath that women are tired of being treated like excrement by men who find them inferior and in the next breath that they want to be dominated and abused by a guy who wants to treat them like excrement.
Stupid.

It's probably a lonely housewife thing, I know of several women that hated the book and threw it out or deleted the gd thing because it annoyed them, when friends pushed them vociferously to read it.
My wife tried to read it. She said it seems like it was written by an illiterate person and that it likely appeals to women whose weak husbands can't satisfy them, so they get off on a guy just abusing the excrement out of them.

Who the freak are you kidding? Your wife dresses up in full black leather regalia and while you may not lick her 6 inch stiletto heels you sure as excrement bark like a dog and have that whip in your mouth like it's the last bone on earth.

You obviously have something else going on here. I really don't understand why it is tweaking you this bad...
Rape? That's just a ridiculous thing to even bring up. There is no such thing as, just by definition, 'acceptable version of rape'. If she intentionally wants to be treated like excrement and it gets her off, who cares? That's specifically why I brought up the dominatrix comparison. Apparently men for decades have got off being treated like excrement.
The story is just a glorified, over the top version of 9 1/2 Weeks anyways.

You obviously have something else going on here. I really don't understand why it is tweaking you this bad...First, the very idea of a dominatrix is based on overturning and subjugating traditional male dominance. It's not just some exaggerated continuation of traditional male domination. That's one thing.

More to the point, the BDSM a community doesn't view it as "like a dominatrix". I'd imagine they'd know. They call it abuse. My point, again, is that it's incongruous to have this movement about how women are treated like excrement and don't deserve it...and then watch HUGER numbers of women "get off on being treated like excrement". And yes, a man exerting total control and forcing you to do what he wants without explicit consent is rape. The fact she enjoys it is what makes it the socially acceptable version.
The reference to 9 1/2 weeks just further proves my point. That horrified people, was a huge flop, and was reviled. This over the top excrement version is embraced...at a time when women are supposedly seeking an end to abuse and mistreatment. Can't have it both ways.
So again, idiot women who like unintelligible and poorly written works that demean them and promote abuse will turn out in droves to see this. Then they'll wonder why men don't respect them. freak 'em.

Because apparently kids are less inclined to watch a movie that's nearly 25 years old, and so the studios can make a excrement ton of money taking a great movie and remaking it so that an entirely new generation can shell out ten bucks a head to watch it despite the original almost certainly being superior.

Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on May 26, 2015, 10:46:07 PM
But why a remake?
Because it has a built in audience. That's all Hollywood cares about anymore. Movies very rarely build on word of mouth and make money. They get pirated and put up online too quickly. Hollywood makes remakes and blockbusters and franchises because they can get the huge opening weekend and coast to a money maker. That isn't going to change any time soon, either. The sides of the piracy battle are too firmly drawn. The smart thing would be to accept that some people are just assholes who will steal your movie no matter what. Do simultaneous releases at home for smaller movies, accept that not everyone will pay for them, and take what money you can get back. People will pirate, but hopefully fewer of them, and some good movies will get a chance to be made that simply don't in the current climate.
Basically, blame a rampant sense of entitlement to all forms of media and a dinosaur distribution model that stubbornly refuses to accept it can't get unconditional surrender. That's why a remake.

No. People who grew up with the original will go see it too. Kids will see just about anything with explosions and action. They're easy. A whole lot of people will go for the sake of nostalgia and familiarity.

Will they? I wouldn't bother, just like I didn't for Evil Dead or Fright Night. If it was a good movie first time round, why would I bother with a remake? The only example I can think of taking a good original and doing a good remake was True Grit. (Infernal Affairs / The Departed is probably a legitimate one as well, but I honestly didn't really get into either of them.) There's far more chance they're going to do an Oldboy or Wicker Man.

None of those are good examples in the slightest as only Evil Dead has the same sort of cachet and is still a niche movie. Point Break is an awesome bad movie. It's well known by a huge swath of people. It has a long running live show. People will be curious enough to go see it. Look at The Karate Kid. I remember tons of people saying "How can they remake the Karate Kid!?!" then going to see it for the very reason Hollywood remade it. It sucked. It also made a ton of money. Hell, people saw Annie because it was Annie and they grew up with it, and that has MASSIVE changes. People hated the idea of it hugely, but enough people still went that it made money. People went and saw Footloose with zero stars because they grew up with it. Same deal, criticized ahead of time, big return on the budget. Those are better comparisons. Movies with a big audience and nostalgia that drew people in despite their reservations.

The Day After Tomorrow is far from a great movie, but it is 100 times better than this tripe.
There were 2 really cool scenes that could have been in a video game. Top notch CGI. I wish I could erase the rest of that crap from my brain.

FTR I just now watched the trailer. It's not even remotely the same movie. So at least there's that. It'll be dreadful with some cool stunts. A smart plan to make a movie. The product will pull audiences and suck.
The trailer for Point Break shown before San Andreas was far superior to San Andreas. And the trailer was freaking absurd.
Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on June 08, 2015, 10:19:22 AM
San Andreas was terrible. It was a true Sophie's Choice for me. San Andreas or Spy. Mad Max is staring me in the face but it was not one of the options provided by the wife.

None of those are good examples in the slightest as only Evil Dead has the same sort of cachet and is still a niche movie. Point Break is an awesome bad movie. It's well known by a huge swath of people. It has a long running live show.

Any of you actually walked out of a movie at a theater? It's been a while for me, but the two I walked out of were both Nicole Kidman movies. "To Die For" and "Eyes Wide Shut". freaking garbage.
The only time I walked out of a movie was because the projectionist started playing the wrong movie, and I didn't want to watch Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn trying to keep their wrinkly leather asses relevant in The Banger Sisters. To be fair the movie I intended to see was also not good (Jackie Chan's The Tuxedo). My sisters and I left that theater and joined our parents in the one showing My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which was a massive upgrade.
The worst or least enjoyable movie I ever paid to see in theaters was Ninja Assassin, which kind of sneaks up on you with its shittiness. I didn't realize it sucked until the end.

This movie is like being at a party. This one stoned guy you barely know has been telling you a story for an hour straight, with little to no thruline; most of it is connected by "and then...and then...and then..." You think it's about food, or something. He also keeps introducing new people in the story, except without really telling you anything about them other than their name. It keeps dragging on...and then...and then...
A fight breaks out in the kitchen, but you're not exactly sure over what. By the time everyone's realized it's started, it's over, and the two belligerents have been kicked out.
You grab another beer. The stoned guy resumes his place beside you. "Anyways," he says, "that's why I haven't had anything to eat today."

Here's a list of movies 'pumped out' with whitewashed characters. You'll notice that at least half of them feature races that simply don't have a lot of working actors in Hollywood, especially in the eras in which they were made. That means a ton of Biblical works. It's pretty funny that with all the movies white people have 'pumped out', there are so few that have egregious racial issues on this list.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_featuring_whitewashed_roles
I feel that Hollywood goes out of their way to NOT whitewash most of the time. Same with gender. Calling Hollywood out as racist is hilarious being that they're the complete opposite.

No. That's not true either. Hollywood is run by white men, so they make movies for and about white men. There has been a movement to change that, but it's still a white male industry. As a result, roles, especially lead roles, skew male. I think it's something like 88% of all lead roles in major films go to men. That's clearly not indicative of the population as a whole. If Hollywood were really going out of its way to not skew toward white men, you'd see numbers much more closely aligned with the ethnic makeup of the country. As for race, 16% of the population is Hispanic. How many Hispanic actors can you name? How many carry movies?
Hollywood does what any business does. It identifies its perceived market and caters to it. It tries to draw in women and minorities with roles for women and minorities, but it largely caters to white males. That's a big part of why older women don't get much work as well. It's not what white males want to see. My contention was that it's silly to argue that the industry is pumping out all of these whitewashed, historically inaccurate movies. More often than not, the races of the characters are true.

idiotsI have to admit, I loved TWBB, we saw it in the movie theaters, and the performances by DDL and Paul Dano were borderline perfect (I've read where people complain about Dano's performance but that's the way the character is supposed to be) but I haven't seen it since. I've watched certain parts (when Dano "baptizes" DDL and, of course, the last scene) when it's been on Sundance but it's one of those movies where, and this is my own opinion of course, the rewatchable factor is kinda low.
I could watch NCFOM anytime. That's a freaking great movie and Sighur (sp) is one of the best/scariest characters this century.

Yeah, I understand the scene and the character. I just think Eli could have been a legendary role in the hands of the right actor, and Dano wasn't up to the task. I don't think he was bad per se, but it was the weak point of an otherwise masterpiece film.

Not the greatest of all time, but certainly a great comedy. I even think new Ghostbusters has a chance of being good.

Even classic bad movies that were good, like Point Break or to stay with Patrick Swayze, they're remaking Roadhouse. There's no way in hell they're going to recreate the nuances that make those movies loveable. The new RH is going to be junk and I didn't need to see the new PB to know that would suck balls.

That's why it got remade. It'll make a ton of money based on the name alone in the first weekend. Hollywood isn't going to stop remaking movies or capitalizing on pre-existing material until this stupid standoff ends. People pirate movies, so Hollywood is afraid to take chances on anything that takes time to build an audience. On the flipside, Hollywood refuses to adopt a better home distribution model and forgo theaters for those types of releases. All three need to come to a middle ground (studios, theaters, moviegoers). Honestly, the best thing moviegoers can do is just stop watching new movies. Don't go see this excrement, stream stuff legally, and don't pirate. If you take away the scapegoat, Hollywood will have to change. Of course, everyone is so freaking entitled that it won't happen. They'll keep saying they have a right to watch movies that studios dumped hundreds of millions into and blame Hollywood entirely. "But I can't watch it legally here!" "But I wouldn't pay to see it anyway!" Then don't watch it and watch how Hollywood changes.

You'll get no argument from me that ignorance runs rampant. At the same time, for people to play the "If you don't think the Ghostbusters trailer is amazing you MUST be a misogynistic PIG" card is absolutely ludicrous.
Personally, I didn't watch the trailer because I'm not all that interested in the movie to begin with. I liked the original but that's about it. I'll likely see this new one at some point, but probably not in the theater.

Man Of Tai Chi is actually a pretty badass movie. Directed by Keanu Reaves. Keanu Reaves takes such a bad rap for the 80's/90s
he has basically moved out east and trains like a beast. i just saw a video of him today basically doing John Wick excrement in real life. a speed/accuracy training exercise with pistols, rifles, shotguns.

Sad part is that's a pretty funny cast. But the idea seemed bad to me to begin with .
It's been more than 30 years and this movie's characters are even more obvious caricatures than the original. Ray and Eagon were the nerds, Venkman was the play by his own rules type, and Winston was the outsider. He wasn't even an exaggerated token black guy, he just happened to be black.
In this one they purposely have very defined roles for each, including casting a token black woman to give attitude and say excrement like "daaaayuum" or "oh no u diint". It's embarrassing.

The funny thing is that someone recut the trailer in a way that doesn't look bad. Whoever put together the one that's out there should never work again. At this point, it's doomed. I'm not sure why people are rooting against it any more than other unnecessary remakes.

That trailer is infinitely better than the first one. A few thoughts:
1) The ghosts look phenomenal. That might be the movie's saving grace.
2) I actually laughed twice. More like a chuckle, but ok.
3) I find three of the Ghostbusters funny in one thing or another, but not really so much here. They still haven't made me believe Leslie Jones is funny in the slightest, but she's a lot more like Winston here.
4) The whole dropped crowdsurfing thing is really overdone and is the "that's gonna leave a mark" of this trailer. Drawing attention to the race or lady thing just makes it worse.
I still don't have an interest in seeing it, but after that trailer, if my wife or kids want to see it, I might say ok to the $6 showing.

The thing is that Winston wasn't a stereotypical black character. He was the non-scientist type, and showed some attitude, but the Leslie Jones character just seems like a token black character that'll just say things like "dayuuum" or "oh no you di'nt!" That "race thing", as you said, just confirms it.

He was the non-scientist type, and showed some attitude, but the Leslie Jones character just seems like a token black character that'll just say things like "dayuuum" or "oh no you di'nt!" That "race thing", as you said, just confirms it.
I guess it could be worse she could say, "Yes Massa".

Did you watch the first trailer? Aside from that stupid race gag, it was a big improvement for her.

Ghostbusters trailer #2:
https://youtu.be/gMfUjDnpfRY
Honestly, it doesn't look too dreadful. I just still don't see why they needed to remake it.
I think it's going to be good. Spy, The Heat and Bridesmaids were all passable to very good, I don't see why this would be any worse.
I mean it's not going to be Ghostbusters good, but Ghostbusters is one of the best movies ever made, IMO.

I doubt Ghostbusters prompted anything. Both are likely products of the increased demand for female centered movies, and it's cheaper to make a female ensemble film than a male one.

Forbes – Rock-solid box office numbers helped the erstwhile wrestler become the world’s highest-paid actor. Since helping launch the billion-dollar Fast and Furious franchise and leading 2015’s “San Andreas” to a surprising $473 million worldwide, Dwayne Johnson has become Hollywood’s go-to action hero. Next up for the beefy star: a starring role in the upcoming “Baywatch” remake. “I can kick derriere better than anyone on the planet,” he once told FORBES. “And I have a decent smile.”

He was in the third, wasn't he? Or was that the Tokyo Drift thing? He's been in it since fairly early though. But saying he "launched" it is a disservice to Vin Diesel.
He will never win an Oscar obviously, yeah he's not a great actor, but he seems like a very likable person, which is why he's so highly paid. He lives a stones throw from my parents and frequents the restaurants around there and I have never heard a bad word uttered about him. He has his own table in a pizza joint in town and will sign autographs and take pics till the cows come home.
Yeah, I've never met him, but he seems like a really decent guy.
2 and 3 weren't good, but after that they became solid popcorn flicks.
I've seen pieces of them and I agree.
I liked him School of Rock. He had his moments in Saving Silverman and Tropic Thunder.

I thought Lucy was good. Kim Schnitzer is fantastic in the lead. It's not a big movie, just sort of a small cinema verite piece, so I don't know how much you were expecting to be at stake. German films about teenage mothers aren't exactly Mad Max.

Variety- Rihanna and Anne Hathaway are in negotiation to join “Oceans Eight,” the female-driven reboot of “Oceans Eleven.” Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, and Mindy Kaling had been previously linked to the Warner Bros. project with Gary Ross on board to direct. Plot details are vague other than the film following a similar path from the George Clooney pic about group of thieves and con (women) led by Bullocks who embark on a plans to pull off a major heist. Steven Soderbergh and Ross will produce with Olivia Milch penning the script.

Even once thst guy died they easily could have worked around thst in the movie (ie his character had died in the movie as well, and they can easily pay tribute to him then bring in anyone to fill the role)

The movie failed because a bunch of people got really pissed about something that ultimately didn't and still doesn't matter.
If the movie had been met with no fanfare and people went to see it, it would have done decent business and wouldn't have merited more than a passing mention moving forward.
Instead? People got pissed because they remade Ghostbusters with a new cast and/or a bunch of women. Before anyone called it a feminist success, people were calling it a men's rights failure. It was an obvious feminist ploy before any feminists had said a word about it. Cue said feminists overreacting to said irrational hatred and a clusterfuck ensued.
It was a decent movie, worth cheap admission (paid $20 for my family of 4) that was needlessly maligned. The only thing more annoying than an angry feminist is an angry guy telling you how annoying and enraging the angry feminist is. When he gets out in front of her? Yikes.

Like I said, it deserved a chance to fail on its own merits. I didn't say it would have succeeded. It was excrement on simply because it was Ghostbusters without the Ghostbusters and with women. Those were the two complaints, and it got a level of hate no other remake has. The people who say it had nothing to do with misogyny are as bad as the people who say it had everything to do with misogyny.

It was 73% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
Dan Aykroyd loved it. Bill Murray said that they were all cheering by the end of the movie. They fucked up by not coming together to make another sequel. You only have the original Ghostbusters to blame for the new one, but they all liked it, even though Ernie Hudson fought it right up until the release (and yet still appeared in a cameo).

My biggest problem with all this is that it's really just not a feminist movie. It was unfairly branded as such by a bunch of offended fucktards on the internet, and then the studio made it worse by releasing one of the worst trailers I've ever seen. It wasn't a bad movie at all; it was infinitely better than the pile of excrement I was expecting. However, most people had their minds made up before it was ever released. Whether you think it's a feminist movie and whether that's a bad thing says more about you than it does about the movie. It wasn't a feminist movie at all, and people on both sides of that argument need to shut the freak up.
Wasn't it just a female version of Ghostbusters? How's that not a feminist movie? They hire a good looking secretary based on his looks alone, and he's a bumbling idiot. Also the movie is filled with extreme caricatures, while the original had the two smart and serious scientists, the whitty one, and the everyman. Yeah, Peck may have been an over-the-top villain, but from what I've heard this new Ghosbusters made it clear that it was a chick flick. It was essentially Bridesmaids/The Hangover.

I don't doubt that some people are annoyed by the feminist thing. But I really think it's just some PC carebare bullshit thst annoys most people. Like the people who wanna take James bond and make him black just for tbe sake of having a black James bond.
There's nothing wrong with having diversity in Hollywood, but it's just completely changing an existing character or franchise for the sake of PC and diversity that annoys people, at least me.
And we've seen that quite a bit.
X-men recently deciding to make iceman gay (despite him existing for like 40 years already or something), changing karate kid to black, Ghostbusters to female etc etc.
I also think part of it is just butchering classic movies too. People are very emotional and nostalgic, so changing something dear to whatever is weird

Wasn't it just a female version of Ghostbusters? How's that not a feminist movie? They hire a good looking secretary based on his looks alone, and he's a bumbling idiot. Also the movie is filled with extreme caricatures, while the original had the two smart and serious scientists, the whitty one, and the everyman. Yeah, Peck may have been an over-the-top villain, but from what I've heard this new Ghosbusters made it clear that it was a chick flick. It was essentially Bridesmaids/The Hangover.
I guess we have different opinions of what feminist means. I expected it to have those girl power type moments. It didn't. Unless you think a woman doing something is inherently feminist, which is a sad statement if true, then it's not feminist. It's just women being ghostbusters without really ever pointing out that they're women. There's no one telling them that women can't do this or that and they prove the misogynist wrong. It's a complete non-factor in the movie aside from one character being attracted to Chris Hemsworth. I don't get it. Should any movie starring women be called "feminist"? It's just such a stupid label to apply broadly given the negative connotation.
And guess what? This movie has two brilliant scientists, a brilliant weird engineer, and an Everyman. The trailers sucked. The movie didn't. It was average. It wasn't a chick flick at all aside from starring women.

The original Ghostbusters killed Ghostbusters 3 but wanted Ghostbusters to continue. I hate that decision, but who gives a freak if it's women instead of men unless the movie turns it into some gender equality in your face statement?

The black woman wasn't an Everyman. She was a insanely stereotypical mad black woman. Winston just happened to be black but was a normal working man just looking for a job. That's a big difference.

Did you see the movie? The trailer made her look like that, but in the movie she was like Timothy Levitch. Knew every single piece of history about NYC. She was a more fleshed out character than I expected.

I'll watch the movie out of curiosity when it comes out on cable or something, but won't pay to see it. The trailer definitely made her look like the "Oh hell nawwwww" character for sure.

Your argument is that people getting upset over white characters being replaced by black characters proves that people weren't upset about women replacing men?
Why didn't people lose their excrement over Footloose getting remade? A ton of people grew up on that. Why didn't The Bad News Bears get destroyed before Linklater even gave a rough cut? Nothing got the level of hatred Ghostbusters did, and it was a better movie than new BNB and the new Karate Kid. The hate was stupid, and I include myself in that because I got sucked into the "It's going to be girl power horseshit" circle jerk.
Finally, I really want to know how Emma Stone playing an Asian chick in Aloha "fucks with nostalgia".

Making a movie with all woman isn't necessarily feminist. They tried and failed at the box office, so cares. Half the world is made up to woman, they should make entertainment geared for them. I don't see the big thing here.
The big thing is that it was painted as something it wasn't and destroyed before it got into theaters. It's not even a big thing, just unfortunate. My point was that it deserved to fail on its own merits since it wasn't a feminist movie. Tommy and dcm just desperately like to be wrong.

I don't think it's a feminist movie. The movie has been heralded by feminist yes.
My issue was they were just freaking with a classic, and I wanted it to be remade with all the originals (or at least living ones)
Aykroyd and Murray are some of the greatest of all time
My other point was people just want to take pre defined characters and change their demographic as some celebration of diversity. I don't think they should make a Shaft or blade movie where the main character is white. Why? Because this character had existed for many years as a certain thing. The Ghostbusters is the same way. They've existed for what 30 years, and somebody just wants to give them all vaginas now to be PC?
I'll concede thst I may be completely overreacting in this case but Hollywood has absolutely made a conscious effort to take characters that have existed for years and retroactively change them to improve diversity or something.
When I think a better solutions would be to make new IPs then do whatever the freak you want with them.
Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on August 12, 2016, 03:16:34 AM
They didn't change any characters. They didn't have Peter Venkman suddenly as a woman. They made a movie with a ton of similarities, but it's way different than actually rebooting with Shaft or Blade as white guys. How would you even do that with Shaft?
I have no clue why they made them women. It sure as hell didn't help the box office, which they knew. I don't think they counted on the most overblown reaction of all time to the casting news, though. Paul Feig likes directing women in interesting roles and yes, pushing the boundaries of what women are allowed to do on film. For the most part, it works. I guess I just don't see the problem when the movie works and isn't in your face about the fact that it's all girl power and whatnot. I don't see a problem with giving new opportunities to actors that haven't had them if it works.
The new IP thing is a whole different discussion. As long as the box office depends on outpacing piracy and drawing people to spectacle, you'll see familiar projects designed to draw early crowds. Until Hollywood gets out from under the theater obligations, you won't see new excrement direct to digital either. Just recycled excrement on screen.
Post by: Tommy on August 12, 2016, 06:14:19 AM
I guess I don't get how it could possibly be PC. Isn't political correctness when you do something to avoid criticism of favoring a certain race or gender? Was anyone actually offended in 2014 that there were no female Ghostbusters in the world? If they had done a remake with men, would anyone have said "Sexist pigs not casting women as the leads"? No. Nobody would have given a freak. It's not PC to decide to make the movie with women.

Wasn't there some backlash or at least talk about how most movies didn't have two or more females in a scene if it didn't involve discussions about a guy they all liked or something? I think progressivism definitely had a lot to do with their choice of an all female cast. Doesn't make much sense otherwise.

I never said there was anything wrong with it. But I feel society is trying to blur gender roles, when it clearly goes against reality. What's wrong with portraying woman as they are? Do we have to do the whole "They're just as strong and blah blah as men" excrement?

I'm trying to think of the last movie I saw that made the point that women are just as strong as men. It certainly wasn't Ghostbusters. The Ghostbusters in the original were nerds. They were smart, not strong. Are you saying there's an issue with arguing that women are as smart as men? The new movie doesn't argue that, by the way. The women simply exist and are smart. No comparison to men is made, but that fact that they're intelligent and quirky seems to bother a lot of people. "That's man qualities raht thurr!"

The men did all the heavy lifting. Courage and cunning maybe, but the movie definitely didn't showcase female strength. She was a good driver, though, which could certainly be argued to not fit most women. I could see that as a valid complaint.

This is just some made up excrement in your mind. I'm sure there are examples for you to point out if you care to but I don't think many movies actually go for that. I also assume you don't have a problem with a movie like die hard where a NYC cop or similar every man type guy is a walking death machine for 2 hours.

I'm not scared of them. I picked up and moved a grass snake a couple of months ago because it was in my MIL's flower bed where my SIL was gardening. If I ran into a snake I don't recognise in the city though, I'd assume it was dangerous because until I know otherwise it's the sensible assumption to make. Snakes don't live in cities, which would mean it had been transported there either by accident or as a pet, which means that it could be dangerous. And therefore a shovel to the head is the reasonable approach to take.

Oh no wait, it's called freaking Cloverfield. It's alien gribblies like we knew it was from the outset. Brilliant performances ruined by an utter lack of tension because it was called Cloverfield and we knew before it started that it was alien gribblies because we saw the first freaking Cloverfield.
It was originally written as a script called The Cellar. I don't know how they'd planned on finishing it, but even just keeping the title would have made it better. But no, they had to put Cloverfield in the title to get people into the cinemas despite the fact that it ruined the film.

But the whole reason the movie works is because the audience knows that there is a good reason for John Goodman's behavior. The suspense isn't about aliens, it's about being trapped in a bunker with someone who may or may not be a psychopath.

It's entirely possible that Transformers 12 will be the next Citizen Kane, but I won't be watching it to find out. I've seen enough of Michael Bay and that franchise in particular to not have any interest in seeing any more.

I saw Warcraft in the theater. I'd see a sequel if they got around to making one. I've never played Warcraft. If you went in looking for a "good" movie, maybe you should have watched the trailer first. It was a special-effects-laden action movie based on a video game. Expectations should be tempered.Cut/pasted from your last Resident Evil review. You thrive on watching shitty movies and defending them.

It's not "defending" them though. At least not in the sense you mean it.
I don't go into a movie based on a comic book and wonder why it didn't resemble Hamlet.
If you watch a movie based on a video game, and you don't go in expecting a lot of special effects and a story that could be written by a first grader, the fault is yours, not the movie's.
Not everything is Oscar-worthy. Some excrement is there just to freak your eyeballs for a couple of hours.

John Wick 2. The original was a brilliantly dark and gritty revenge movie, where really bad guys fucked with the wrong person and things went very south for them. The sequel was a lazy pastiche with next to no plot, preferring instead to just do long, implausible and inelegant choreographed fight scenes in which Keanu Reeves does exactly the same thing over and over and over again - shoot a couple of guys in the knees and then the head, throw the third to the ground and hold him down while shooting the next two guys through the door before then shooting the guy on the floor, get up and run to the next room where he does the exact same thing again, saved multiple times by his magical bulletproof suit.
Ian McShane was fantastic again and The Continental is a terrific device, but if you just want to watch extended fight scenes go watch the Raid movies again. They did it way better.
I loved the mysterious underworld that they really only teased and hinted at in the first one. Then they decided to dive directly into it in the second one, killing all of the intrigue. I like the choreography, though; nothing holds up well against the Raid movies.

90s/early 2000s was the last era that had consistently good movie/film production. after the mid-late 2000s it got dominated by the superhero genre. the pirating of movies undoubtedly did not help with making film companies feel like they should dump loads of money into making quality movies.

I don't agree at all. I think that the big budget movies from the megastudios are of a poorer standard, but there's loads of great stuff still made outside of that and the ubiquity of inexpensive technology for filming and editing means that movie making is more accessible.

That's into full on dream supergroup territory for me, so it was crushing to hear what a disappointing song it is and therefore as a point of principle I won't be watching the movie.Let me get my shocked face ready

It's The Newsroom, best known for the scene in the opening episode in which Jeff Daniels goes on a rant to a bunch of college kids why American is not, in fact, the best country in the world.
It's written by Aaron Sorkin. As is well known, I love Aaron Sorkin. Even I couldn't watch this show past the first season.

That seems like a not unreasonable position. She was acquitted of the charges for which she was wrongfully imprisoned. Were it not for the fact that she's really attractive, this story almost certainly wouldn't have been as big - foreign nationals are arrested for and sometimes charged with and found guilty of offences they may or may not have committed all the time. For fictionalized accounts of her story that continue to paint her as having a variable degree of guilt despite her having been found definitively not guilty seems a bit shitty.
I realise from the thread you've posted it in you may agree, so I'm not ranting at you per se. I do think she's well overdue getting a break though.

I have a huge problem with inconsistent mythology in horror films. Is Michael a human serial killer? I can get behind that. Is he supernatural? I can get behind that too. But you can't switch back and forth whenever it suits you. I can suspend disbelief for dream murderers and haunted houses and serial killer dolls as long as the mythology is consistent. "He's killed a bunch of people, so now he's superhuman" doesn't work for me.

He's fine. I'm not a big Bradley Cooper fan, but his performance is OK. It's just such a bland, predictable story that there's really nothing impressive for him to do.
I never saw the original or read the book, but I can't imagine anyone watching the movie wouldn't know everything that happens after the first 15 minutes.

Oh I thought that was coke. I liked that scene because I've never seen a movie about a recovering addict who saves the day by relapsing.
If it was heroin, it should have been, "Whelp... I'm nailed to a wall waiting to die and that is just fiiiiiiiiiine."

Oh I thought that was coke. I liked that scene because I've never seen a movie about a recovering addict who saves the day by relapsing.
If it was heroin, it should have been, "Whelp... I'm nailed to a wall waiting to die and that is just fiiiiiiiiiine."
I did hate Ceranno's line: "There's only one thing in the world that sounds like a gunshot." Nah dude, there's quite a few things that sound like gunshots.
I was assuming it was heroin and she was using it as a painkiller. It didn't seem like a recognizable portrayal as someone on either drug but then again I'm not sure how one would react to using either after having their wrist nailed to a wall.
It was a meh movie overall.

Normally I'm all in on an island being plagued by mysterious creatures but this one was just such a disappointment. If you want a movie that gives you all of it's plot points through the first 10 minutes and then stumbles so slowly through the story you'd swear the actors should have aged by 20 years then this is the one for you.

If it was just going to be about gratuitous kills then I think it would have been a lot better received but they tried to do too much with the story and fumbled it completely.
Overall I'm not happy with what David Gordon Green and Danny McBride did with this franchise. At least they won't do it again.

It's been in a bad place since Carpenter left but they didn't do it any favors. If they stopped at Halloween (2018) I would probably have a better view of it but they didn't so...
David Gordon Green as a horror director just doesn't make sense. I think he loves the genre but I don't think he's suited for it.
Post by: CatoTheElder on October 23, 2022, 11:43:17 AM
Halloween Ends but it gets better if you act like it's not a Halloween sequel.
OK, rewatched the DGG trilogy so I could get a better grasp on why I hated Ends so much (SPOILERS:
-Laurie Stroud in Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills vs. Laurie Stroud in Halloween Ends: Sarah Connor vs. some old grandma
We were introduced to a character who spent decades training in weapons and turning her cottage into a fortress/death trap just in case Michael Meyers ever escaped and came back. After Michael Meyers already escaped, came back, and killed Laurie's daughter only to kill an entire town mob and the disappear without a trace, Laurie decides to just relax for four years.
-Corey:
This is the biggest problem that I have with the movie. Corey's story line could have been a great movie if it had nothing to do with Michael Meyers. A guy who becomes a serial killer after being bullied and ostracized by the entire town, INCLUDING FOUR RANDOM MARCHING BAND KIDS, for an accident he caused is a great story line. Smashing it together with Michael Meyers is difficult to do because they really have nothing in common aside from the most generic possible efforts (e.g. "inner darkness", "dark path"...etc.). Ultimately, it doesn't feel like Halloween ends was originally written as a Halloween script. It feels like they adapted a different, unrelated script to work in the Halloween elements, kind of like Saw II but with, somehow, worse execution (goddamnit).
-Corey and Allyson:
This was so rushed they went through an entire 6 month relationship in the course of 2 days. Seriously, Laurie brings Corey to Allyson's office, hints that they should date because...reasons, and Allyson's immediate reaction is: you're my boyfriend now! Like, no character development, no actual growth, no exposition, just 0-60 only so they can have a fight so Corey has a reason to storm off alone in the middle of the night after a party. If this was JUST a movie about Corey becoming a serial/slasher killer and targeting the people he thinks are hurting his crush/girlfriend than this would be a great angle but they don't flesh it out at all. I know someone is going to say that it's a Halloween movie and I shouldn't be looking for too much plot development but, if it's a just supposed to be a Halloween movie than this would have hit the cutting room floor before it was even storyboarded and if they are going to include something like this than they should have put actual work into it. Either develop your ideas or leave them out. This is part of why I think that it was an adapted script and not written as a stand-alone movie.
Also, Corey: "If I can't have your grand daughter than nobody can!" *immediately cuts his own throat so now literally anyone who isn't Corey can have her* How did that line and that action make it through script editing? Was that some kind of shitty studio producer's note that DGG and Danny McBride didn't feel like fighting?
-Haddonfield
The entire population of this town makes absolutely zero sense. Michael Meyers completely disappeared 4 years after murdering an entire lynch mob and numerous citizens and there is no evidence that the town even bothered looking for him after that. Just, "Oh shucks, what a bummer! Also, freak Laurie." The only mentions of Michael Meyers are the kid in the beginning using him to taunt Corey while he's babysitting and other, random people in the town blaming Laurie for the attack because she somehow taunted Michael Meyers by hiding in a cottage away from the town and learning how to use a gun, and trying to kill him when he broke into her house and tried to kill her whole family. Like, multiple people frame the whole Michael Meyers massacre as Laurie taunting a man with a mental disorder. What kind of fucked up, nonsensical excrement is this? And Laurie's response to it being said to her is to just quietly nod and walk away.
Look, I'm completely OK with horror movies that are just about the kills with a loose narrative laid over top to get the killer from the start to his own grisly demise. What makes a lot of the 80s slasher genre great is that they utilize a minimalistic plot to get the focus on the killer and the main protagonist's actions instead of exposition and or excessive inter-personal relationships. However, that's not what Halloween Ends was presented as. DGG and McBride tried to throw a lot of higher concept ideas into the mix but failed to develop them properly. If you're not going to give these plot points the room they need, then don't use them. This movie felt like the studio said it serving boeuf bourguignon but instead it produced a bowl of lightly boiled ground beef with a bay leaf in it, carrot on the side, with a glass of red wine spilled into the carpet.
There. I'm done obsessing over hating this.

Yes, but Philip Marlowe is a well known and established character, and that trailer does not feel like him at all. For a start Neeson is about three decades too old, and for a second he appears to be playing him as an poopchute. Marlowe is a hard lover of the older lady and can be a complete dick when he wants or needs to be, but he's also charming and he very rarely loses his temper or his cool.
Maybe if you go into the movie having not read Chandler it will work, but that two minutes looks absolutely nothing like the Philip Marlowe I'm familiar with.

Bad Biology brings to mind the theme of death and decadence found in several of Booth Tarkington’s novels particularly ’The Great Amberson’s’ (of later Orson Welles cinematic renown). Actually that’s a bit of a stretch but like Cato said, that was an interesting read. :-o

That’s the scene, I guess I thought it was in the wrong spot. I hadn’t watched it since it was in the theaters but I definitely remember him telling them that they could have made it out if they wanted to.

You made me go check, she was in Expendables 3. Now I've gone down the rabbit hole, apparently Expendabelles was canned because they didn't see any benefit to or logical storyline for an all women crew, so they're going to add strong female characters to each new instalment instead.
Expendfourbles will have Megan Fox in that role. On the plus side, apparently Eddie Hall is also in it and I love Eddie Hall.

I thought the first one worked. The second was trash so I didn't bother with the third.
McBride's now been a part of shitty Halloween movies, a shitty Exorcist movie, and a shitty Alien movie. I respect him trying to branch out into a genre he loves, but he's done it now and should really go back to doing what he's good at. Not everyone is Jordan Peele.

The Naughty Nine
Yes, this is a direct-to-streaming children's movie. Despite my adjusted expectations it still sucked. Every character is annoying. JE would have required hospitalization if he was exposed to this movie.
Shin Godzilla:
This one came up a lot from Godzilla nerds who wanted to excrement on Legendary Pictures' MonsterVerse, so I figured I should check out what the big lizard purists were on about. It was disappointing. A large portion of the movie is spent watching Japanese bureaucrats in boardroom meetings deciding what to do about the monster, and the rest of it is spent watching a shitty-looking Godzilla squelch his way through the city. The acting was lousy and I usually cut a lot of slack for that in non-English-speaking films because I chalk it up to cultural differences and translation of dialogue. Hopefully Godzilla Minus One makes up for it when I see it next year.

Founded in 1981, Razzie nominations are now determined by a select committee before ballots are issued to the membership. Anybody can become a voting member of the Razzies by paying an annual fee of $40 or a lifetime membership of $500. Even with those funds rolling in, though, the organization’s antiquated official website still seems to be formatted for internet users from more than a decade ago.

Why would anyone remake that? Doesn't matter who the actor is, it was perfect the first time.
For the same reason that 95% of remakes happen. The young cinema-going audience won't pay to watch 35 year old movies with actors who have long since left the public eye (through age, death or whatever), and it's a far more reliable return on a much cheaper investment to remake a script that you know is good than to pay a fortune to take a chance on one that you hope will be.

Of all the crap movies I have seen over the years, I am willing to state that Expend4bles is top 5 all time crap, and not really any fun at all. Even the inevitable big showdown fight between Statham and Iko Uwais (lead actor in The Raid), two outstanding screen combatants, manages to be formulaic and uninteresting.
Literally everything about this movie is dreadful, but special mention has to go to set design and cinematography which somehow manages to be too realistic to jar with the cartoony violence, and yet too cartoony to be remotely plausible.
I almost want to recommend you see this to understand the depths it manages to plumb, but you all have better things to do with 100 precious minutes of your lives.
