I actually thought there was far less nudity than I had expected. Then again I was watching on somewhat small screen and not going out of my way to try to oggle flesh. Not that there's anything wrong with a good oggling.

The funny thing is that Spawn is gonna try to duplicate Deadpool and I bet you anything they fail utterly because anything Spawn-related is doomed to suck eternally.

Spawn doesn't belong anywhere outside the bad old grimdark days of the '90s. My bet is they're going to double down on the hyperviolent parts, but then also try to take themselves seriously which is going to wind up being laughably forgettable garbage, just like the first Spawn movie. raditts fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Feb 16, 2016 |

Megaspel posted:Also it was a 15 in England, did poo poo get cut out over here? We're just less ridiculous with ratings than America is. And yeah that's a good reading of the scene. I gotta say, especially considering it's doing so insanely well, I really am so so glad that they got this one right and that it didn't just use the "omg soooooo random" version of the character and actually does the best version of him justice. If it had done this well and been awful it would have been insufferable.

I honestly think the 97 movie is a pretty fun little B-action movie, in the same vein as Mortal Kombat but not as good. Also, the animated series owns hard.

Megaspel posted:Just got back from Cinema. Really good film, definitely better than Prometheus, Gravity and all the Hobbit movies, even the animated Hobbit movies. It was ma15+ in Australia too, but there was still stripper vag all over the IMAX screen, so I don't think we missed out. America has a dumb ratings system where it jumps from pg13+ straight to r17+, which is why movies are either childlike or adult with no room for subtlety in between.

Also remember that our regular broadcast TV can have the most horrifying violence in history with lovingly detailed shots of mutilation and gore while a cop talks about how the serial killer filled the dead woman's lungs with cum and poo poo and spiders, but we will hold a senate hearing if a nipple is on TV for 1/18th of a second. Nothing in this country makes sense.

Spawn (everything but the movie) was awesome in 1995 because I was a pissy teenager who thought violence and dumb goth poo poo was awesome. Almost everyone in that demographic is now 32-45 years old and realizes how lame the leather and sunglasses 90's hot topic fad was. Spawn is just a time capsule of its era as Dirty Harry or Deathwish. Just like you couldn't make a movie in 2016 where an angry cop ruthlessly murders black people for sport, you can't possibly make a movie where a grimdark hell assassin fights the military and satan and a spooky clown. Todd MacFarlane belongs in the same lovely time capsule as Marilyn Manson, Blade, leather trenchcoats, rap rock, and OJ Simpson jokes.

I think a Spawn movie could work, but it'd also have to be a unicorn project like Deadpool, where a bunch of big time fans decide to make the movie that the character deserved. Liefield and Nicieza may have "created" Deadpool, but if they tried to create this movie, it would have been utter garbage Ninja edit: "created" is a pretty strong word here

Rumors for casting are going to start with Idris Elba. Then after a while you'll hear Will Smith is interested but then he'll deny it. Then somebody will drop the name Morris Chestnut but it won't track because nobody knows who that is. Then Terrance Howard will turn it down even though nobody said his name. In the end Isiah Washington will do it and Chiwetel Ejiofor will be sitting at home going man. Nobody even asked. Everyone loses.

I mean, there's no reason why it can't work, it just has to be done well. poo poo, Neveldine and Taylor managed to make a fantastic Ghost Rider movie a few years ago and Ghost Rider is only a hair removed from Spawn. The premise to Spawn is actually really, really good; it's just that Todd MacFarlane isn't a good enough writer to get the proper mileage out of it. There's legit pathos pretty much loving baked into the concept, what with him being a family man whose family has completely moved on without him (and is actively endangered by him following them), and yet MacFarlane does nothing with this beyond a couple panels of him whining here and there (and he even directly shat on it for the sake of shock value at least once). He can't do serious very well and he refuses to go all-in on camp, so it just comes out lovely. kiimo posted:Rumors for casting are going to start with Idris Elba.

Why not just hire Jai White back? He was the best part of the first one and he wants to do it, if I remember correctly.

Okay, so it could be done well. But we're talking about 1. Not letting MacFarlane anywhere near it 2. Completely revamping the character so it's not a cheesy relic of the mopey sadkid leather trenchcoat 90's 3. Abandoning most of the inherently lame story (so 90's) 4. Finding some way to make a sadsack anti-hero palatable to modern audiences 5. Make the film not stick out like a sore thumb now that the massive Man vs. Hell megatrend of the 90's is incredibly dead (this was like 1 in 10 movies back then) 6. Do a small story on a low budget with a character that's no longer really Spawn, or find someone in Hollywood insane enough to bankroll a big budget movie based on a dead relic of a character. I'm not doubting the possibility of a miracle (look at the thread I'm posting in), but we're talking a miracle the size of finding a survivor in the wreckage of the Titanic, here. Xenomrph posted:Excuse me but Blade is still totally loving awesome. If you don't like Blade, well... some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill. Blade is totally loving awesome. Because I'm 35 and was in its target demographic. An attempt to make that movie today would be jaw-droppingly corny.

Ghost Rider 2 is the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. It's soooo loving bland and lifeless outside of like, 4 or 5 moments. Everything else in between is horrible. I expected more from them.

Because the only good thing out of either of those was Sam Elliott, and even his character bailed on the movie before it was over.

kiimo posted:The funny thing is that Spawn is gonna try to duplicate Deadpool and I bet you anything they fail utterly because anything Spawn-related is doomed to suck eternally. See, this is the one bad thing about Deadpool succeeding: Other people are going to try to copy it without really understanding what made it good and probably end up with a lovely product. I know that's true of every movie that manages to make a buttload of money, but Deadpool knockoffs have the potential to be particularly obnoxious because that kind of hyper violent crude humor is really easy to gently caress up if you don't know what you're doing (case in point: like 90% of The Deadpool video game) CelticPredator posted:Ghost Rider 2 is the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. It's soooo loving bland and lifeless outside of like, 4 or 5 moments. Everything else in between is horrible. I expected more from them. Which is amazing to me. You would think a movie about a man with a flaming skull riding a motorcycle would at the very least be entertainingly bad, but it's just plain dull. Both of those movies make me feel bad for Nicolas Cage, because I know he loves superhero comics and he was really excited to get to play one on film and the final product was just so lovely.
