I think the Deniro de-aging looks fantastic. Pacino not so much. Harvey Keitel looks pretty okay. Pesci looks good.
Pacino is really the one that stands out for me, but I hope he really SELLS THE VOICE VOOOOOOLUME in that scene when he's... SLAMMING THE TABLE.
AVClub saying that it works as an unreliable memory is kind of a cool take.

I actually really like the direction they're going with here in terms of trying a prequel for a newish franchise that didn't really grab me with the second movie. This look far more interesting.

Yeah it's a garbage series. Nearly as grotesque as the also garbage Kickass series.
I will say if theyre really just having the same white dude (but with different facial hair) playing george, wilhelm, and nicholas then thats pretty hilarious and inspired

That show has existed in Denmark for like 15 years, called "The Luxury Trap," and it's dreadful pap that's mainly just about gawking at how bad some people are at maintaining a budget and paying their debts while a couple of annoying hosts go "SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE" - not that a lot of people aren't bad at handling a budget, but man it's depressing enough in a country where we have much higher social welfare than in the US, so I can't imagine how miserable an American version is going to be.

We have this show in Sweden as well and it's really fun. It's not really going after people born into extreme poverty or whatever, but rather people who could live comfortably if they just weren't completely loving clueless with their money. Like buying high end TV's and computers when you can barely afford food. Stuff like that. Then they get 2 experts to help them with all their dozens of loans and tell them how interest and money works

Well they're not, because they have dozens of loans with interest racking up massive debt so they're constantly behind on payments and just losing all money they earn instantly. And whatever money they do get they immediately spend on vanity items. A lot of them get this sorted out by the end and suddenly they can live normal lives

FYI we don't have massive student loans in Sweden though so I don't know how that affects the average american

The answer is pretty badly. Like the poo poo youre saying might be kosher by scandinavian standards but if you were an american itd sound pretty snobby.
We're dying out here. That the problem is people buying TVs they cant afford and not say, the mass exploitation of labor for a vampire oligarchy, well that's not really on the nail over here. If we werent ruled by bloodsuckers it wouldnt really matter if someone had a really nice fridge they didnt properly budget for or whatever.

They're fun, silly movies. The second one really wasn't as good as it was too far up its own rear end about its world building, kinda like the John Wick sequels. People here are always mad about everything though.

Wow, yeah, it definitely appears as tho those people all entered the show with financial problems, were offered solutions for some debts and to have workable solutions installed for others, and all exit the process on the other side in a better life situation without having been exploited were lured into a rape.

Oooooooooooh!

The anal sex gift from the kidnapped princess or whatever at the end was in really bad taste. I actually prefer the sequel because they backtracked from that stuff and tried to retcon that they ended up in a nice relationship afterwards.

The second one mostly sucks but the score is pretty good.

It will be interesting to see how they portray the different factions during the instigation of WW1. I believe Matthew Vaughn is minor nobility so some pure ideology could be in store. Tom Hollander as the King, the Kaiser and the Tzar is quite fun though.

the part you're ignoring is "because he's rich and all rich people are hellfuckers, even the ones that look like good people"

that's... not a bad message for a movie to be pushing, really

Oh for sure, but for me it's like when say, Red Letter Media attacks representation in media by making fun of lady ghostbusters. They're technically right, cynical corporate representation shouldnt be lionized and it doesnt save the world, but it does seem a little opportunistic/throwing meat to the worst elements of their fanbase (and when they try to move on from easy targets they get into absurdity like the time they assured us black kids probably didnt care about whether or not they had toys that were black people).
So sure, evil spike lee obama billionaire is a hosed up rich guy but it seems like creating a premise for an opportunistic attack. I don't really give Mark Millar material the benefit of the doubt with poo poo like that.

Kingsman 2 is most shockingly in that it's the kind of bad that at first glace you'd think was caused by a property being handed off to people who had nothing to do with the original... except it was made by the exact same people

Elton John is pretty much the only fun-ish part of the movie. Except you got to see it before the previous hour wore you down so I guess without context it could look like it’s part of a good film. Quit while you’re ahead.

It's entirely possible the trailer was graded that way but the movie isn't. But who knows :shrug:
