So I'm assuming the daughter has organized a weird, evolving publicity goosechase so that she can emerge as a social media starlet?

I liked the first UNFRIENDED a lot, but that trailer is real bad.

I'm pretty sure everyone who liked the first Unfriended saw a different movie I did because that movie didn't feel fun to me at all. In fact it was a complete loving slog. Searching looks more like the movie the first Unfriended should have been, and the new one looks like garbage exactly like the first one.

Unfriended blew me away because of the shot design, being locked into the laptop display. Just brought a whole new bag of tricks as far as developing tension through technology. The plot was laughably bad and stupid, but it's just so novel overall that I can't help but love it.

That said, this sequel doesn't look like it's got anything new to bring to the table.

Upgraded had some goofy rear end trailers before it honestly
Like the Superfly trailer felt like the entire duration of the film itself and that stupid what if a kid found a laser gun and tangled with James Franco movie looked hilariously dumb.
Just shoot the loving kid, it's just a big gun. And stop trying to ape Stranger Things, Stranger Things itself was played out when it came out.

David Straithairn nooooo. Actually, did something actually happen with him? He wasn't the most prolific dude in the world, but he's a great character actor that just sorta disappeared recently?

He found new life as a space pirate. With the accent and everything.

Marwencol is a really, genuinely good movie. It's loving weird, because Hogencamp himself is loving weird after he got the poo poo beat out of him, but it's a really great story about recovery from trauma.

Welcome to Marwen just looks like trash.

Yeah, I've been dreading that since it was announced. Marwencol doesn't work without Hogancamp, the fantasies per se are not what's interesting about his story.

The actual walk itself in The Walk was worth the price of admission when I saw it in 3D. Totally justifies the light caper stuff that precedes it, if not the hamfisted 9/11 memorial at the end.

Wow how did they gently caress up the tone so bad with that. It switches so hard between emotional drama to goofy whimsical poo poo, and the violence goes from "horrifying American History X" to "haha it's like Tarantino but with dolls" that I wonder how bad it is in the actual movie.

It's a cross-dresser who was nearly killed by bigots and uses dolls as personal therapy to create art, this really shouldn't be hard.

nah, those are made specifically to get a rise out of people by pairing something tragic with something goofy

Flight had the exact same problem. One second Denzel is grappling with his alcoholism in a really dark way and then all of a sudden John Goodman will show up for a comedy bit about dealing drugs.

the trailers before Hereditary last night were possibly the worst bunch imaginable: John Cho Youtube Detective, and not one but two incredibly bad "FROM THE PRODUCERS OF STRANGER THINGS" movies, one of which looks like YA novel trash (psychic kids lol) and the other was the gun-kid movie.

Have a feeling that "From the producers of Stranger Things" is gonna be the new "JJ Abrams presents" in terms of bottom-of-the-barrel sci-fi flicks

it's really funny because Kin, from the same producers, has "From the producers of Stranger Things and Arrival" in it. they're really banking on everyone just seeing the words "Stranger Things" and immediately saying "oh yes i want this"

I feel like its gotten a lot worse lately. Maybe its just that kids movies use more pop-culture references in general now. Like the original Shrek has only like one gag (The Matrix shot) that really dates the movie. Then you got the Emoji Movie which has nothing in it that wasn't dated before the movie even came out.
