Hewlett posted:Snake Plissken. As gay as I am for Kurt Russel, I actually kind of liked the shlock that was Lockout, and think Guy would make a fine Snake. I don't understand the need for all the different armor in Iron Man 3... will he really change them 2-3 times through the course of the movie, or is it to sell action figures? I am aware that Tony has multiple suits, but really, crammed in to one film?

If it is anything like the comic he finds his old armor is useless and is destroyed by a terrorist that has taken extremis, so he has to create new armor to stop him. He also has diffrent armer for diffrent purposes.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Nobody brings it up nowadays but people definitely tried to argue Boondock Saints was a good movie back in the day on SA. Also that Family Guy was an overlooked comedic gem. mfaley posted:Saw this drop yesterday and as far as I can tell hasn't made it's way here yet... new IM3 poster: Looking at this poster I hear a monster truck commercial voice shouting "FIRST WE HAD ONE IRON MAN, LAST TIME THERE WERE TWO, NOW WE HAVE MORE IRON MANS THAN YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO WIIIIITH!" The trailer made it look like it's going to try and be serious and Dark Knight Rises-ish, which is the exact opposite of what made people like the original so much.

I dig the new poster for IM3, and I assume all the other Iron dudes are part of all the armors he worked on since The Avengers. And while it would stink if it was all "dark" and "gritty" like the last Batman, I doubt they'd do that. But it does seem they're trying to sell a sadder, more alone Stark. Which I mean if you consider the fact in the Marvel U he's pretty much billed the smartest guy on the planet, it seems like when he popped into space to save everyone actually facing the idea of alien life freaked him out. Especially since they have fancier toys than him. Chris Cooper just got cast as Norman Osborn. I'm hoping like Garfield, Cooper satisfies me more than Dafoe did. Though I don't know if I want him to actually act the part, or just be the bad guy from The Muppets again, only fighting Spider-man.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Also that Family Guy was an overlooked comedic gem. Yeah it's kind of weird that the trailer is so grim, but it's a Shane Black + RDJ movie. I'm expecting the movie to match IM1 in tone, but it's still a weird move as half of the charm of the Iron Man movies is Tony quipping like a drunk spider-man.

PeterWeller posted:How is it vile poo poo? Serious question. I haven't watched that movie in years and remember being highly entertained by it. It's a movie that takes place in a comic book style world, but people seem to think it's taking itself seriously when it absolutely isn't. It's a fun, dumb, flawed action movie from a slightly amoral director that gets judged on the level of Brazil when it really belongs in the same category as something like Demolition man. If nobody bought posters or replica rosaries and then tried to explain the flick's artistic brilliance, the backlash would be nonexistent and this argument wouldn't come up every time somebody mentioned the film around here. The guy who made it's an rear end. I still like watching the movie because the actors are great and the action is well done, despite what I keep being told.

Since when did nerds like Scarface? I always heard the argument that nerds didn't like it and mocked it because the ghetto thugs who did like it "didn't get it" because Scarface dies in the end.

See, even judging it on that level that doesn't really work though because Demolition Man is so much better than Boondock Saints it ain't even funny. What's your boggle?

Boondock Saints is a sloppy retread of Pulp Fiction without the style or intelligence, and the trademark scene with the cat is such a pale and pathetic rip of the "I shot Marvin" scene that I can't believe they weren't booed. It's the filmic version of off-brand cereal. Overnight is icing because of course only a whiny prick could make such a jerky flaccid dick of a movie. It's nu-metal: the film. I spit on The Boondock Saints. Good cast though.

Frankly, I'm more inclined to say that Boondock Saints is an attempted retread of stuff like Death Wish 3 and Commando than a direct retread of Pulp Fiction. Stylistically, it's very Tarantino-inspired, but there's just this surreal quality to it where you can tell the movie's more preoccupied with showing people shooting at each other and spouting crappy one liners than with maintaining any real sort of coherence. And the casting certainly helps. You can tell the actors give more of a poo poo about the movie than anyone else who worked on it, and that actually goes a surprisingly long way.

LividLiquid posted:It's vile poo poo because insecure nerds don't want to like something that douchebags who beat them up in high school also like. See also: Fight Club, Halo, Scarface, and for awhile there, Quentin Tarantino. it's more of a rejection of their teenage years. They hate how they were/acted as teenagers so they reject everything they liked during that perod in an effort to distance themselves from it. it's an over-the-top act of self-loathing.

Besides the two Wong Kar-Wai films and Floating Weeds, which I don't know, I spotted The Outlaw Josey Wales, Duel on Ganryu Island and Black Narcissus. I haven't seen any of the X-Men related films since X-Men 3, but I think Mr. Mangold has got me with this one.

Chuck Bartowski posted:I rather enjoyed First Class & Origins: Wolverine. I really recommend them. Origins: Wolverine is a weird movie that starts at a high point, and gets worse as the movie goes on. The best scene of the entire movie is the opening credits (that's not an indictment, the opening credits are amazing), and every scene that follows is just a little bit worse than the one that came before it. This goes on through the whole movie until you reach the end and it's a complete cluster gently caress, with a Deadpool who can't talk, a blind Cyclops, Gambit doing nothing of interest, and a waxy Professor X. I don't hate it, but I certainly don't love it. It could have been so much better than it ended up being. First Class was good, though.

Didn't Fox and Gavin Hood also reportedly butt heads on the themes and direction of Origins to the point that Fox flew Richard Donner out to the set to "assist" Hood?

Here's a question: I saw Wolverine long after it had been out on video due to the terrible reputation it had. I found it pretty mediocre, but it had its moments. Was all the vitriol it got based on that leaked cut that made the rounds, or were people just expecting more? Granted, my expectations were low as all balls after reading years of posts about it, so it didn't take much to impress me.
