Disneys acquisition of Fox, Kevin Feige and the MCU directors will have a bunch of new toys for another 10+ years.

this is a very good point.
Because the X men movies and Fantastic 4 efforts all stink.

Deadpool worked so well because it was kind of the 'anti Marvel'.

Would be interesting to see if Marvel can turn those movies around.
Because if they can't you would think fatigue would kick in real quick.

[Bon]

Like it or not Dunstersuar the world is moving on from your nostalgia. Yes all those movies you mentioned have there place in cinematic history but I would argue non of those other then Star Wars will leave an imprint close to the MCU. The MCU is 10 years old with 19 movies and after Infinity War it will be close to $17 Billion at the box office. There is no sign of it slowing down and as I stated in another post with Disneys acquisition of Fox, Kevin Feige and the MCU directors will have a bunch of new toys for another 10+ years.

Yeaaaaaah.. Not sure I agree with this mate.. I mean, it's all subjective obviously. You love your MCU movies, thats good stuff, have at it..
Personally, I'd watch any of the movies that The Dunstersaur (awesome name btw) mentioned before tuning in to the MCU films..

I've probably only seen a handful of the 19 movies (so far), but personally they do nothing for me.. They appear to just be these mass-produced, sometimes re-hashed, money-spinners with a heavy emphasis on digital effects.. (Which from the few I've seen, weren't even that amazing). Production company is happy to just keep pumping out this sh!t, knowing very well that so long as they have hectic special effects (and perhaps Scarlett's boobs pressed about the place) that they will make money no matter what, ala what plague mentioned with the Fast N Furious/Transformers series..

That's just what it feels like to me.. Sort of like the 2000's era Star Wars episode 1-3 films.. Just trying to make up for a lack of everything, by bunging as much special effects in as possible, then watch the cheddar flow in..
Just cause the masses will pay to see it, doesn't mean its cinematic brilliance or memorable historically.

Also like to add that Gangnam style was at one point the most viewed video on youtube. Best song ever?

[plague]

Yes it is.

[Premy]

if were going down the list, I'd still argue that 19(?) Movies later the MCU hasn't made anything nearly as good as The Dark Knight.Yeah I guess it's all subjective, personally my favorite Comic book movie is Batman Returns, man Danny Devito as the Penguin I just love that.
As for the MCU, I have a few I put before The Dark Knight, toss up between Winter Soldier and Ragnarok as my favorite.

Look I know these films aren't the greatest films in history but the franchise as a whole has made more of an impact on Hollywood than all of those mentioned by Dunstersuar other then maybe Star Wars.

[The Dunster]

To be fair though money isn't always a great indicator.

Avatar and Titanic are a couple of the biggest grossing movies ever and no one is rewatchingvthose with and enthusiasm.

Also, Transformers and Fast n Furious movies make mega bank and even though Vin Diesel should have at least 6 Oscar's and I'm def 1st in line for the Rock/Statham team up, Transformers stink.

and if were going down the list, I'd still argue that 19(?) Movies later the MCU hasn't made anything nearly as good as The Dark Knight.

Avatar and Titanic are the same movie - they just changed the sets.

I know its not a movie, but we don't have a live theatre thread (and I'm pretty sure we don't need one otherwise), has anyone seen The Book Of Mormon??
I'm heading down to see it in Sydney on Friday night.. Have heard its fvcking amazing..

[StannyCFCJET]

Solo is good. Star Wars continuing its trend of good movies

[plague]

ok so theres no way im going to the movies to pay for it,


BUT

The Aquaman trailer actually looked like it might be an ok movie.

but yeah DC has sucked me in before, so it aint happening again.



but im def cheering for any and all winners James Wan (and Leigh Wannell) have. They are a pretty ****ing remarkable Australian success story.

good for them.

[plague]

also, ive no idea of the story of 'Shazam' but the trailer also looked like it might be entertaining.

[plague]

as for Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

they could just have shown a midget playing banjo for two minutes in the trailer and they are def getting my money GIVE ME ALL OF THE BIG SCARY MONSTERS!!!!!!!

i watched some movies recently.


Avengers Infinity War: still a really really good movie. Still angry about the ending not meaning anything.

Thor Ragnarok: Actually enjoyed it. Fresh take on the (very overwhelming) superhero story. Between this and Avengers its pretty amazing that in the twilight of RDJ's career that a former Home and Away star is anchoring the biggest franchise in the world at the moment.

Deadpool 2: I cannot get over how beautiful that Vanessa lady is. My god, she is just stunning. i think there was a funny movie in and around shots of her but im not sure sorry but wow what a very attractive lady she is.

Checked out a few movies on Netfrix over the weekend..

Saw the cult classic The Warriors for the first time.. (I used to play the video game on PS2 back in the day, but never got what it was aboot)
As B-grade as some of the acting was, the film was damn great.. Very dark and dirty.
The now famous "Warrrrriors.. Come out to playyyyy-ayyyy" scene is just brilliant, so menacing and sinister..

The other was What We Do In The Shadows. Pretty damn hilarious.
If you haven't seen it, it's a kiwi film (with old-mate from Flight Of The Conchords) as one of a group of vampires living in a share-house in Wellington.
It kind of reminded me of Shaun Of The Dead in the sense that its a piss-take on those serious/scary genres. Very funny and clever, worth a look.

[The Dunster]

I watched The Godfather on Netflix.

A talented cast but the story / script made me cringe.
The editing / continuity was absolutely woeful as well especially concerning Pacino's Michael Corleone character.

It's more like a TV Drama than a movie and no way does it deserve the accolades it receives.

How it could beat Deliverance for Best Picture I'll never understand.

yeah it has not aged well.
remember thinking Part 2 was ok (think its widely regarded as the best of the trilogy).
Part 3 though, woof, thats a bad movie with a really really bad actress in a prominent role.

[plague]

Ok, so I finally got around to watching Black Panther, you know, the movie that people seriously wanted to win an Oscar for best picture.


Ummm, I dont think it's very good, at all.

It's not the worst Marvel effort but geez, some of you people need to get out more if you thought it was any type of groundbreaking.

Pros:
Lupita Nyong'o is a seriously beautiful woman.
I could watch a movie that was just 90 min of Michael B Jordan saying "sup?".

Cons:
Buddy cant act. Marvel has done such a good job of making sure they had good actors in pretty much every vital role (and there are a lot). But that dude is just so wooden and unconvincing.

The special effects were kind of 'awful'. Not sure why, but the fight scenes looked so fake. Same with Spiderman. It's amazing that Marvel makes a giant green cgi man look more realistic that a couple of dudes in suits.



Overall, an average Marvel flick at best.
2.5/5

So I guess that makes me racist.
Sorry.

If you need something to refresh the palate, do yourself a favor and watch Zombeavers on Netfrix..
Cabin in the woods, b-grade script, d-grade acting, z-grade effects, a-grade exposed boobs..
It's so awful that it is great...

[Grimario]

I am all over your alphabet ratings there. Might check it out tonight with a few bevvies.

[Grimario]

Movie so bad and characters so awful that you're actually cheering for the beavers after twenty minutes or so. And the a-grade isn't on often enough to make up for the rest of it.

1 out of 5 Adam Griffs

The lesbian scene was looking good until she grew beaver teeth and tried to eat her.. (no puns intended)

Haven't seen Zombeavers yet but if it's half as good as Sharknado I'll be loving it. Obviously it won't be to the standards of Sharknado 5 - but few films are.

Admittedly, Donnie Darko is one of my fave films.

BUT come on mate, they were all battling things themselves..
Frodo's latent desires, Samwise's eating disorder, Gandalf's love of the halfings "leaf", Treebeard's dimentia.. (just to name a few)
Possibly worst of all, poor old Legolas couldn't even sink enough turps to get a buzz on..

The last thing they would need is Frank The Bunny giving them a rough time, :gent:

[StannyCFCJET]

The last 45 mins of the third movie was an hour too short, Battle of Minus Tirith needed another 3 hours of action.

Fixed

Donnie Darko is a great movie but it wasn't even Jake Gyllenhaals best performance that year. Bubble boy was.

Also, I could have taken that silly Rabbit if he had somehow wandered into Middlearth. Or at least stuck my finger in the closest ring and gone all invisible and stuff.

Watched Split the other night. Good but so ****ed up

[boz-monaut]

I watched the movie 'Threads' the other day - it's an 80s made for TV movie about nuclear war

set in Sheffield, was only shown twice by the BBC, and once in Australia by Channel 9 (who partially financed it) and then showed it without ads

it traumatised an entire generation and it's not hard to see why - even though it's over 30 years old and made on a very small budget, it still stays with you

the script was written by a screenwriter who's worked extensively with Ken Loach and the director went on to big films like The Bodyguard and LA Story

I'd recommend it but it wasn't exactly pleasant

[plague]

Watched Split the other night. Good but so ****ed up

yeah for some reason i rewatched 'Unbreakable' a couple weeks ago.



*******Spoiler alert*******
when i read about the link between that and Split (and the new one Glass) i gave it a look.
didnt hate it, buddy was real good in it though. every time he turned into the lady, it was pretty freaky.

Will be directed by Jason Reitman (son of Ivan, original director of the two Ghostbusters films - the all female remake we won't talk about)..

Unless you can get Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd back, then don't bother..

[plague]

the all female remake we won't talk about


you know what, i giggled a couple of times in that movie. esp the parts where Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig were just talking off the cuff. I was convinced it was all just natural shit talk that they left in the movie because it was more entertaining than the stuff that was written in the script.

but yeah, it wasnt a very good movie.

well, i feel obligated to see it. i really enjoyed Infinity War (the other 2 Avengers movies were pretty awful imho).
but my happiness after leaving the theatre was quickly squashed by the realisation that they will reverse the Snappening.

this renders any real drama from the first movie dead.

so yeah, ill prob hate it because everything will be fine and dandy in the end.

To be totally fair.. I haven't even watched it.
I was/am so disgusted with the thought of them using the Ghostbusters branding to cash in and make it, that I couldn't bring myself to go near it..
I figured it was the old "It's a piece of sh!t, but by the time people realise it, we've already made our money back and heaps more, and then who cares if its seen as being a stinker or not"..

ok, here we go.

What was the movie ending that was genuinely shocking to you?

Counting down the days til the Hobbs and Shaw Fast n Furious spin off comes out.

This movie will be the greatest ever and win at least 34 Oscars.

[plague]

ive been on a few planes lately, so there has been some movie viewing.

Ant Man and the Wasp: Marvel fanboys are the worst. This movie stinks. But thats ok, because out of 20 odd movies youre allowed to have some stinkers. Like both these Ant Man movies. Just give in and admit they stink, and that some other ones rule. Its ok to do that. Oh and Black Panther sucked.

Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom: Woof, this was bad. really, the only way to save this franchise is to get the gang from Fast n Furious in to save the Dinosaurs by hauling them off on the back of Mad max style hotted up trucks. Wait, did I just save Hollywood? Yeah probably. Although the CGI Assholesaurus or whatever it is would be a better actor than Vin Diesel.

The Meg: Thank Griff a movie that opens up by saying "this is going to be dumb", and them proceeds to break through that dang glass ceiling. I enjoyed it for what it was. Also, Statham rules and puts in a decent shift every movie......unlike Chris Pratt in that Dino movie who, if you look closely enough, you can see that revolver next to his skull as he recites his lines. Poor dude.


oh, i think Richie Cunninghams kid from the Dino movie is a good sort. but it sucked so much i wanted her to get eaten, SPOILER ALERT she didnt, and will prob be back for more Dinotastic shite.


there were others, but the vodka was kicking in so i cant remember them at the moment.

I haven't seen it but why is it bad ? Reviews have been either highly favourable or said it was complete shit. No middle of the road.

Money wise it failed to make bank but it only cost $32m to make so maybe that was a factor - too ambitious for such a limited budget.

Watched it last night on Netflix [1982 Theatrical Version]and surprisingly it's still a great film that has stood the test of time very well.

I might watch the Directors cut one day - but have reservations given it's supposed to have removed the voiceovers and changed the ending.

Will have to get on to it as I've heard it has held up well after all this time..

(Blade Runner) 2049 was a great movie, but not quite as good story wise imo. Visually stunning though

[Aegon]

Oh and Black Panther sucked.

I thought I was the only one who hated this movie. The storyline was just godawful.

[plague]

I thought I was the only one who hated this movie. The storyline was just godawful.

no, its written as fact.
here is the definitive list of bad Marvel universe movies.

Iron Man 3
Thor 2.
Avengers blah blah Ultron.
the Hulk one (ha, you aint trying to distance yourself from that one fanboyz).
All the Ant man ones.
Spiderman: Homecoming NOT EVEN THE IMMORTAL MICHAEL KEATON COULD SAVE THAT SPIDEY CRAP.
GOTG 2: again, they had Kurt Russell and they ****ed it up.
Doctor Strange.
Black Panther.



The rest lie on the scale from 'meh' (Thor, IM2) to 'dope' (Winter Solider/Infinity War).


Now, again, this is a true and correct list, you can have a different opinion, and opinions are fine. But if your opinion is different from this list then you are wrong.


oh, and Logan was boring and all the X-Men movies are bad.

Going to try and give it a run tonight.

Triple Frontier... it was ok easy to sit back and watch but nothing amazing..

[plague]

The only way Avengers Endgame will be any good is if they have a post credits scene where Deadpool turns up and hopefully kills them all.

After 3 hours of sugary bullshit undoing all the cool bits of Infinity War only a big dose of absurdity will suffice.

But we'll prob just get some unknown 18yr old actor picking up Captain Americas shield and be all like "20 MORE MOVIES OF THIS BULLSHIT, ASSHOLES"

I watched Lincoln [The Spielberg Film] on Netflix last night.

Daniel Day Lewis is a superb actor - but that's not enough to save this terrible piss weak borefest of a movie.

I wish Spielberg would go back to what he does best action / suspense more so than biographic / historic pics which are not his forte.

Hard to believe the guy that made Duel could make this Lincoln shit.

[plague]

I actually didn't mind Ready Player One (SHUT UP COMIC BOOK NERDY NERDS).
Apart from that I've no idea if I've seen a Spielberg flick since Saving Private Ryan.

[plague]

Really rated it hey. Don’t like Ben affleck but liked that one

i enjoyed it.
what did blow me away though, was how well it was made, and that it had legitimate movie stars in a movie ON NETFLIX.
we are a lot closer than we think to big time movies being available at home as the same time as the theatre.

its only gonna take someone from one of these huge movie franchises like Mission Impossible, Fast N Furious, Marvel etc to do a deal and release one on the platform.

then its all gonna get wild.
im all for it, **** going to the movies, and ill happily pay $20 for direct access at home on day 1 for a new Vin Diesel masterpiece.

[Aegon]

Ummm... wtf?

I watched Cafe Society last night on Netflix. Not Woody Allen's best pic by a long way but decent enough to pass the time.

A lot better than Blue Jasmine but not up to the level of a Midnight in Paris, Annie Hall, or Take the Money and Run.

Also, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse is a ****ing visual masterpiece. Loved it.

This actually looks surprisingly good..
The trailer makes it appear to be more of a Taxi Driver style as opposed to comic book super-villain style..
Jared Leto's shithouse version can go get more crappy tats and fvck off..

Sorry to be negative. But I think this is gonna have a lot more style than substance. I know people are making the Scorcese references, but this is going to try to be an indie movie on a superhero budget.

Jared Leto didn't do a bad Joker, he was just in a very bad film.

Sort of like watching the Jets play..

I found it disturbing in that it glorified a stalker, normalised child prostitution, and it was over the top / stretching too far. It was also less than 2hrs long but it felt like 4 hours.

Not a Scorsese fan really. He takes things further than is necessary in all his movies - and there's really not a lot of variety to his work. It's pretty much the same shit with a different title every time [with few exceptions other than Hugo]. It's a bit like how Burton Films re all the same, Luhrmann... and so on.

Compared to someone like Fellini, Kubrick, Wilder, and Bergman he's a hack.

Ok, so its a personal/moral choice about the storyline that you mainly don't like?
Does that mean you hate horror movies or things like that?
E.g. I haven't watched Hostel (don't know if its a good or bad movie), but I've traveled through Europe and stayed in hostels enough times to not want to even have the storyline to that stuck in my head.. (although I have heard there are really hot chicks in it, haha)

I hated The Wolf Of Wallstreet.. I could see it was a good movie that was well done, but glorifying a prick that ripped people off, sorry plague, a bloke that "made great business decisions" was pretty sickening to me..

[plague]

Ahhhh mate, with the over saturation of comic films these days, I'm not expecting anything decent..


im going to give it a go for sure.
Just thanking Griff that someone is at least trying something different in the genre, hence why i loved Into the Spiderverse (but I didnt like Logan).

[plague]

Not a Scorsese fan really.

Goodfellas is in my mind a ****ing masterpiece.
But i dont think theres any other Scorsese movies i even enjoyed all that much.

[plague]

I hated The Wolf Of Wallstreet.. I could see it was a good movie that was well done, but glorifying a prick that ripped people off, sorry plague, a bloke that "made great business decisions" was pretty sickening to me..

I read his books a while back and the first thing i thought when they announced they were making a movie was how the hell they'd fit everything in.

If it was made now, the whole saga would be a perfect 8 part Netflix series. The movie cut out so much of how he did it, and seemed to only concentrate on the 'fun' parts of what he did (hence making him the sympathetic character. The books paint him as a way way way bigger crook than the movie and there isnt a lot 'cool' about what he did.

having said that though, anyone who hands over money to a cold caller under the assumption of instant wealth doesnt deserve their money to start with. those suckers were gonna lose their cash somehow, Belfort was just ahead of the game.

My issue with Scorsese is that he's got very limited range when it comes to conveying an idea / message / telling a story. It's not the genre or themes either - because Kubrick films like A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Lolita, and The Killing I've watched and enjoyed many many times.

In Taxi Driver - the main character is a dick from the first scene to the last. No matter how many times you watch it - it's the same movie. Watch A Clockwork orange or Lolita 20 times each and you will still be finding new things about it or even changing your view / opinion of how things are portrayed.

In general I like simple movies that don't take themselves too seriously. Scorsese makes very simple films that take themselves far too seriously to the point of being almost parodies - though it's unintentional.

I'm a big fan of Woody Allen films - but I would not call them great movies - it's more a case of him making films which appeal to me. However, the films of Allen's that I don't like are the ones that try to be more serious. They fail to impress because he simply doesn't have the tools to make them work - much the same as Scorsese.

Cinematic masterpiece of the century. Don’t @ me

[plague]

i have some thoughts on the movie. Obviously spoiler free.

it was good.
it will be better the second time you watch it.
you def need to have a pretty good understanding of the whole marvel universe to get through the first few hours.
it was very different to what i expected, which was good.
there was a fair serving of corn in there, which was unavoidable.
im not sure they could have done a better job of putting a full stop on the last 10 years of movies.

[plague]

also: if anyones keen and the mods are ok with it lets start a spoiler thread so we can talk about the movie properly without wrecking it.

because people who spoil movies are gypos.

and, i have quite a few thoughts on this movie.

Anything worth watching on Netflix at the moment??

Umbrella Academy.

Based on the Comic written by Gerard Way, reminds me of the first season (the good one) of "Heroes".

Haven't finished it yet, got sidetracked with GOT and the latest season of Archer.

Got any interest in Anime? I've been re-watching Full Metal Alchemist after a few years. Easily one of the greatest shows ever made. 50 odd episodes and a couple of movies at the end.

yeah look if someone tells you theres a movie with Blonde Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx and a taxi cab how excited can you get.
but its so well done. I dont usually like Michael Mann movies but this was a masterpiece.


As for Old Country? Im just gonna not call you names because i like you but my god man, if you like movies, you gotta see it.
Actually you gotta see it more than once to really appreciate it, because the first run through is an experience man, and not always in a good way.

[The Dunster]

Tom Cruise is possibly the best actor of the last 30 years or so to have never won an academy award. Sure he's a bit out there but the blokes made some very good movies and managed to elevate some pretty poor scripts into box office success as well.

With respect to No Country for Old men - It's a Coen Brothers film - which means it's always going to be brilliant.

I mean even the biggest John Wayne Fans would have to admit the remake of True Grit absolutely killed the original.

[Grimario]

Watched The Guilty today. Unexpectedly awesome thriller from Denmark. Almost a single actor movie, playing the role of an emergency services phone operator. Definitely recommend it.

On Netflix if you have a VPN and can watch UK or Canadian versions, otherwise can be found at various sailing sites or on Google/PSN/YouTube movies for rent.

[plague]

ok i watched Endgame again the other day.

Surprisingly, i enjoyed it way way more the 2nd time around. This doesnt usually happen, best example being the latest Star Wars movies. The more i watch them, the worse they get.

***mild spoilers*****
The stuff i thought was 'meh' the first time around (thors 'change', time travel theory, end few scenes) wasnt really as dragged out as i thought. for a 3 hour movie it went really really quick this time.

might take a few more viewings but its prob in the top couple of Marvel films ive seen.

I feel personally attacked which I assume was your intention

the amount of gushing over Carrie Fisher will be nauseating.
i predict the first Emperor/Trump parallel think piece will be released approx 6 sec after the premiere.
the movie will make a billionty dollars, so dont stress that people wont like the movie.
even if the movie is great, some asshole wont like the movie just to be an asshole.
even if the movie is horrid, lots of assholes will love the movie just because they are assholes.
Marvel fanbois are now way way worse than Star Wars nerds so ummm congrats.
people (mostly dudes) will scream to the clouds about how much the Star Warz GRRRLLLZZZZ kick ass because we cant watch the movie ourselves.
anyone who doesnt secretly wish Poe and Finn hook up are homophobes.
C3PO is an asshole and is easily the worst character and actor in the whole series.
Daisy Ridley is super attractive, like really really really very attractive. except a million star wars nerds have now jacked off to her and thats a really weird thing.
Adam Driver is terrible but you cant hate on him because he was in that show with Lena Dunham and if you criticize anything around her you are a fat shaming homophobe sexist member of the patriarchy (or something).
Really, the big dog/bear dude in the suit couldnt learn english over the last 40 years? really? what a team player that guy is. everyone else knows the language except this asshole (and the stupid robot). Mark Latham is writing his hit piece as we speak.

ill think of more things as we get closer to kickoff.

spaceships are dope though. spaceships are always dope.

[The Dunster]

Artistically they should have pulled the pin at the end of the 2nd movie [Empire Strikes Back].
Business wise as long as people are willing to pay they will just keep rolling out more shit movies.

It's a business I get it but what a waste of resources.

[Frodo]

Everyone reads too much into Star Wars IMO. I've never hated any of the movies because I don't think about them too much. I grew up watching the original trilogy almost every time I went to my grand parents (along with the Neverending Story which thank Jeebus hasn't been remade yet) and I absolutely loved the shit out for them. Ever since then I've never watched a movie set in space that I couldn't enjoy on some level. Cause at the absolute worst, I'm watching something with cool backdrops and settings, weird costumes and some alien creature to have weird sex dreams about. Maybe that's just me, but I could watch movies like "Jupiter Ascending" and completely enjoy myself, no matter what they heck that thing is meant to be about. Just give me aliens and a space ship and I'm happy.

[plague]

the other super dope thing about Star Wars is the concept art from Ralph Macquarie. Google this mofo is you havent yet.
they are even using some of his original trilogy stuff for this new movie and it looks awesome.
i know George Lucas gets all the deserved credit for the whole shebang, but man oh man there were some really important people whos input was invaluable.


theres a good youtube video out there of the story of the editor of the original movie and how bad it could have turned out if she didnt make some major changes. I think it might have been Lucas' wife at the time.

The Sean Connery one?

deary me.

Indiana Jones only existed because Spielberg wanted to make a Bond movie and the Bond people didnt want any part of him. he then made up his own American James Bond as a pisstake. to further annoy everyone they cast Connery in the 3rd one as a double middle finger to show they could make more money with him than the Bond people ever could. The whole movie was a lazy mess designed around their egos.

I saw Raiders in Sydney the day it was released in Australia. The theatre was absolutely packed and I can't remember a more positive reaction to a movie either before or since.
Easily the pick of the Indiana Jones movies.

I was a bigger fan of Young Indy books / series than I was the Indiana Jones movies that followed Raiders.

A good movie in its own right with a great scene on the rope bridge.

What did he say?

[plague]

What did he say?

he started out a few weeks back saying Marvel movies 'were not cinema'. again, he was right from his point of view but Marvel ****boys got their knickers in a knot because "HOW DARE YOU DISMISS THE EMOTIONAL TOLL OF WHEN BLACK WIDOW DIED*"

So then he had to expand on it, because people are idiots: there was a whole op-ed in the NY Times about it but the killer quote everyone is putting up was this:
[QUOTE]
But the sameness of today’s franchise pictures is something else again. Many of the elements that define cinema as I know it are there in Marvel pictures. What’s not there is revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger. Nothing is at risk. The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes.

They are sequels in name but they are remakes in spirit, and everything in them is officially sanctioned because it can’t really be any other way. That’s the nature of modern film franchises: market-researched, audience-tested, vetted, modified, revetted and remodified until they’re ready for consumption./QUOTE]

the bold bits are whats hes always meant. these things are great if thats what you want to see. and if thats what you want (the good guys win, the hero gets the girl etc etc) then they are perfect. and you should love them and enjoy them.

you can literally replace any characters into any Marvel movie and always end up in the same spot. thats cool, but there is no risk.
Thor can have Captain Americas journey, Iron man and Hulk are the same person etc etc.

Now, go slide Captain America and Iron Man into the plot of Goodfellas or The Usual Suspects or Fight Club and see how much audiences like it.

[StannyCFCJET]

he started out a few weeks back saying Marvel movies 'were not cinema'. again, he was right from his point of view but Marvel ****boys got their knickers in a knot because "HOW DARE YOU DISMISS THE EMOTIONAL TOLL OF WHEN BLACK WIDOW DIED*"

So then he had to expand on it, because people are idiots: there was a whole op-ed in the NY Times about it but the killer quote everyone is putting up was this:
[QUOTE]
But the sameness of today’s franchise pictures is something else again. Many of the elements that define cinema as I know it are there in Marvel pictures. What’s not there is revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger. Nothing is at risk. The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes.

They are sequels in name but they are remakes in spirit, and everything in them is officially sanctioned because it can’t really be any other way. That’s the nature of modern film franchises: market-researched, audience-tested, vetted, modified, revetted and remodified until they’re ready for consumption./QUOTE]

40th anniversary of "Life of Brian" must be today or yesterday.

Here's something for the old farts, a live debate with a bishop and a converted critic.
(This is the full story link which gives some context to the interview https://reason.com/2019/11/08/monty-python-meets-the-bishop/)

And heres the interview. It's a long one.

https://youtu.be/ZYMpObbt2rs

[The Dunster]

Jesus is portrayed as the only legit religous figure in the Life of Brian.

It's all the infant religions that never gained any long term following they are taking the piss out of.

Again a simple case of church types being critical of a movie they had never seen.

[The Dunster]

Scorsese has a style and while many rave about his movies I don't enjoy them.
However his assesment about Marvel Movies is both fair and correct.

But as a business it's hard to argue with what the Marvel franchise delivers.

[The Dunster]

Decided to check out some old flicks I watched with my grandparents as a kid [They were old movies even then - thanks for asking Plague]

I watched "The Kid"[1921] starring Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan [Uncle Fester from Addams Family]. Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, starred, as well as scored and played the soundtrack.

Anyone that can watch this movie without laughing and smiling all the way through is dead inside.

I also watched "The General"[1926] starring Buster Keaton - unfortunately time has not been kind to Keaton's films like it has the work of Chaplin.

I didn't hate "The General" but it's a hard slog to get through it.

Anyone else seen either of these films ? If not, just to get an idea how modern comedies evolved they are well worth a look.

Marx Brothers are something else worth checking out - especially for anyone that likes MASH.

[plague]

geez, cant wait for all those Black Widow thinkpieces. it looks like typical formula Marvel trash.
hopefully we can fit in a Ant Man and the Widow team up before Scar Jo's contract runs out.

also, theres a new Star Wars movie out in what, 2 weeks and there seems to be very little buzz about it.

still, light at the end of the tunnel. Spiderverse 2 is less than 900 days away.

[plague]

oh shit just read they are actually making another Ant Man movie.
id be much more tolerant of the public at large if just some of their shitstain fanbois fessed up and said "you know what, some of these movies are trash".

even the Jets has their Donny De Groot era. its ok to acknowledge it.

Why wouldn't they make another one? The last one grossed over $500m and made a Net Profit over $100m.
The same simpletons showing up for all the Marvel films will be turning up for this as well.

i kind of understand why people go watch them.
i dont understand why people try and tell me they are good though.

SW first thoughts. Two thumbs up from me

[plague]

posted these in the wrong thread.
preserved for posterity.



re: 6 underground

this was a weird mess.
its really difficult to watch Ryan Reynolds do anything without thinking its Deadpool. not a bad thing to be forever linked to a pretty iconic role but yeah every line is delivered the same.

also, not sure if they were trying to say something or if they were just lazy as all hell but using location shots that were clearly Abu Dhabi and telling the audience they were in Vegas, or putting iconic Singaporean buildings in the background of whats supposed to be Hong Kong (which also tried to pass off Abu Dhabi as Hong Kong) was all around weird and distracting.

but yeah as Mr Furns said, Ryan Reynolds in anything makes me smile (no ive never seen Green Lantern) so it was watchable.



also, re-watched The Wolf of Wall Street the other day.
remember seeing it at the movies and being pretty disappointed as id just finished the books and thought they'd tried to cram so much into such a small window.

a few years on though my god i didnt take the time to see how ****ing funny it is. its such a brilliant movie on its own.
forgot how damn good Jonah Hill (yes Johan ****ing Hill) is in this.
and Leo, woof him not winning an Oscar for this (and others) but getting the make up call for the bear movie is why we hate the Oscars.


also also.
going to watch the Star Wars one this weekend with Plague jnr.
will report in with spoiler free opinions, but you Star Wars nerdz need to set a date for when we can properly talk about it.

[Frodo]

6 underground was a simple little action flick, did what was on the tin. Hated the bad guys, wanted the good guys to win, didn't believe anything was real life, only a tiny slow down for a very quick and painless love story, bad guy lost. Made me smile enough to warrant the time I spent on it.


Although I rewatched Cop Out last week as well and that thing has aged very well IMO. Tracey Morgan must have been super painful but fun to work with.

[pv4]

I thought 6 underground was more than good enough for a watch and glad I did it. I don't disagree with heaps of the criticisms but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Re wolf of wall street, 100% agree with plaguesey. What an awesome and funny movie.

My opinion is if you want to avoid Star Wars spoilers and consider yourself a fan, you should be fair game by Monday.

[plague]

i went to the Star Wars movie.

its a fantastic Star Wars movie.
its got lots of Star Wars in it.
if youve never seen a star wars movie youre gonna absolutely love it.
if youve seen all of the star wars movies youre gonna just add that to the collection of star wars movies.


if you go there expecting Manchester by the sea then you will be disappointed but lets face it if you go there looking for Manchester by the sea then you are an asshole and are only doing it to complain to your fellow assholes on twitter.

its a ****ing star wars movie. it says so right in the title.





legit though lets get to the embargo date i still have a LOT of things to discuss with this movie.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, however it kinda turns the previous 2 movies into character dev movies with no real consequence.

[plague]

yeah i get this is the big talking point about the movie.

****and yes we are still spoiler free******

but im not sure what people actually expected.
its a Star wars movie, thats what Star Wars does best.
i liked the Last Jedi, but id say that storyline did way more damage to the overall 3 part arc than TROS did.
Its obvious that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson didnt map the thing out from the start, and thats poor planning. but i really dug it.

theres a million nit picks, and we'll get to them. but i found it way way way more entertaining than expected.

Problem with TLJ is it essentially did to further the plot and needed certain characters to act differently for the so called story to work

Didn’t even know it was a talking point. I’ve avoided all fan pages etc like the plague (hehe)

[Aegon]

Want to nit pick?

I think the 3 titles in the new arc make the least sense against all the Star Wars films.

[The Dunster]

I think the Star Wars films are great for children under ten years of age. But I can take them or leave them other than TESB and I wouldn't even rate it in my top 100.
The movies since the first two are really just a lot of turd polishing. Why not come up with something new ?
The recent ones that have worked stick very much to the original formula - but it's getting old very quickly now as well.

[plague]

Didn’t even know it was a talking point. I’ve avoided all fan pages etc like the plague (hehe)

yeah no one hates Star Wars movies as much as Star Wars nerdz. they hated TLJ but then hated the fact that TROS didnt turn out like TLJ.

the second those nerds discovered twitter then the world should have been put down like an old dog.

[The Dunster]

I watched The Last jedi [2017] on Disney + last night in glorious 4k HDR10.

For a big budget movie some of the sets and camerawork was extremely amateur looking type shit.

I think the storyline was ok in parts and by the end it was mostly an enjoyable experience - but absolutely no way is this movie in any way groundbreaking or essential viewing to anyone other than a fan of the franchise.

It could have been a great film with a bit of fine tuning - but they simply cut too many corners.

[The Dunster]

Watched Incredibles 2.

Great movie. Had me laughing all the way through.

[baldrick]

theres a million nit picks, and we'll get to them. but i found it way way way more entertaining than expected.

Plague on the money again. Saw Ep 9 tonight & enjoyed it very much.

[The Dunster]

I think the Clone Wars Cartoon series has been the pick of the Star Wars efforts in recent times. Season 7 will be here in feb 2020.
Movie wise I think Rogue One is probably the only one of the recent films that can stand alone - the others are far too reliant on past glories.
Note: I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the other movies - I just think they could have been a lot better.

[furns]

Only gripe I had was the return of ***** (ppl who have seen the movie know who I mean) was in no way hinted at in the previous two movies so it all felt a bit forced. Really think that they should have had someone overseeing the new trilogy (a la Kevin Feige) so it was all coherent and was building to something specific. All it really needed was a few little scenes and some extra lines of dialogue in VII &
VIII to tie in with what they did in IX.
Still liked them all though, just a bit of a missed opportunity to tie things together in a better way.

Female action film.
Black Actress being front and centre of a film in a dominant rather than passive role.
Males play support for the females in this film - unusual then - and unusual now.
It was also shot on a very low budget yet looks as good as anything the big studios made at the time.

There's some ridiculous parts to it as well like the warden and the guards - being totally over the top - but it's essentially a requirement to keep the focus on the women being the heroes and most intellectually appealing of the film.

Oh and it's a smorgasbord of the female form as well.

EDIT: It's a comedy as well - so plenty of laughs.

You just gonna skip over the fact that you agreed with your own post a little while ago?? Haha.

Also, is there a new Doors movie? Or do you mean the OG Val Kilmer one?

[Frodo]

Side note, just quickly googled about a new Doors film and found nothing, but a picture of "The Warriors" film came up. Just realised I haven't seen that in a few years, I normally watch that thing at least once every 3-4 years, so I'm about due. Absolute master piece in my eyes.

Walter Hill has made a lot of good movies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Hill

In 1979 he made The Warriors and handed over directing Duties to Ridley Scott for his other movie - Alien.

I just saw there is a re-make of The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson taking the lead role as Frank Drebin Jr.

I predict an absolute stinker.

[Bon]

I just don't see how anyone could possibly think it would be a good idea.. Or a good film..
Look how most of the remakes/re-imaginations have gone.

But that's the business of a lot of modern movies, they know it will be a pile of sh!t but pump it out cause they will still make money from the hype..

[Buddha]

I just saw there is a re-make of The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson taking the lead role as Frank Drebin Jr.

I am willing to to give it the benefit of the doubt. Neeson is incredibly funny, the improv scene he does on Life's too Short is top tier stuff.

I haven't seen that. I'll have to check it out.

He was terrific in A Million Ways to Die In The West.

I just loved the originals so much. Watched them over and over. The subtly of the humour and dead pan delivery... and the trailer was less than inspiring.

I hope you're right Buddha

[plague]

They have just followed the same formula as the originals, get a traditional straight actor to deadpan the lead role and let the nonsense happen around him.

It works of the writing is good. Sadly, I can't see how anyone is going to be as original and stupid as the Zuckers were back in the day.


Add in the stuff we 'can't joke about' anymore and comedy is a pretty narrow lane at the moment.

I mean, it only took about 5 years for The Hangover to get finger wagged. People have no chill.

All the best though, but Nu Metal can't come back fast enough.

[Premy]

Why is it not called Naked Gun 44 1/4.

Finally watched the trailer.

I'm not a MacFarlane fan boy but he's probably the closest we have to the stupidity of the original.


Personally it's gonna hinge on one thing. If it's 90 mins of OJ jokes then I'm in. If the one we got in the trailer is the only time they go there then I'm out.

It was a funny bit.

I hope you're right BuddhaNielsen was a serious actor before Flying High and Naked Gun, so no reason it couldnt work for Neeson. It will hinge on the execution.
Seeing that short snippet of Neeson in Ted leads me to think it could work.
