Speaking of game movies, Paul Anderson has moved from doing lame Resident Evil movies and is working on a Monster Hunter movie, of course starring Milla Jovovich. I really like monhun but like Mario it doesn't really have the material for a movie and I kinda wish they would leave it alone and just come up with their own IP. Tony Jaa is in it though and he looks pretty great in costume

From what I've seen it's your basic "modern soldier gets transported to fantasy world and shoots dragons" movie. I wonder if they'll include any of MH's general themes of ecology getting thrown out of whack.

STAC Goat posted:I mean, I'm not really a gamer and I only played the original Sonic the Hedgehog and I don't even think I ever made it half way through the game. But are the current crop of Sonic and Detective Pickachu movies really sticking to the video game plotlines and story? they didnt make robotnik fat and the lil animals dont get kidnapped by sonic and used to control his machines. imo the anti-corporate/pro-nature take would have been a very simple link and they just didnt even bother like just make it so robotnik kidnapped every lil birdy and chipmunk from his world and now he travels from ring to ring trying to find a world Robotnik hasn't ruined yet and he finds Earth and half the animals are already dead and the environment's ruined. except nobody's heard of Robotnik, he hasnt even invaded us yet. and sonic jsut ditches our planet because we're completely screwed and he can go anywhere else anyways thats my sonic movie pitch thx bye

Pick posted:I went with friends, and the consensus was it was clearly a different screenplay for a different movie but ended up having Sonic pasted onto it. It's weirdly right/wing, and it has a bar fight for some reason. It's sappy, cliché, and not funny. I don't care about Sonic and this confirmed that as a good and sensible stance. The Sonic games are bad, even the Genesis ones. Video game movies are bad. The sonic movie is almost certainly reaaaaaaaaaal bad. I might watch it for Jim Carey though, on video obviously. Is he at least any good?

I will almost definitely watch the bad Paul WS Anderson film where Milla Jovovich shoots CGI monsters. I have no idea what Monster Hunter is but like... yeah, I was already abandoning excuses by like the second Resident Evil movie.

Monster hunter is about murder hobos killing dinosaurs and dragons so they can make dresses and burgers out of them. Eventually you find out some stuff about the environment so it ends up killing the dragons was necessary and you're not a bad person.

he hasn't paid for billboards across the nation calling himself a wrong idiot that has killed people by using his fame and platform to stoke fear against the medical community. So he's still a net negative for humanity Shutting the gently caress up about a topic you were never even loving close to being correct about is not some magnanimous position. Carrey is a dangerous idiot and its only a matter of time until he starts shilling his next brand of horseshit and possibly getting more people killed. gently caress jim carrey, he never should have been rescued from that canadian dumpster

Avenue 5 doesn't have the vicious wordplay I've come to expect from Iannucci and just feels more like a regular show, not an iannucci thing the production values are HBO tier, but something just feels off. Hasn't stopped me from watching so far though, and I like the feeling of everything slowly going Lord of the Flies so if they keep building that tension it could be great, I just don't know where to slot it right now

Josh Lyman posted:Avenue 5 is good now? I remember people saying the first couple eps were bad. It's very strange and I think it's a personal preference thing. The tone is bizarre but intentionally, I think, and it's clearly on a VERY slow build. However, I love the careful and deliberate worldbuilding, which is so loving credible in its presentation you could choke on it. It's frustrating for some people because it's also subtly bucking a lot of expectations.

The closest he came was saying back in 2015 or 2016 that the California governor was a "corporate fascist" after signing a bill killing personal-belief exemptions from requiring kids to be vaccinated before they could attend public school. He broke up with McCarthy in 2010, so he's still got some whackadoodle stances.

The Super Mario Bros movie is great because it's one of the influences that led to David Icke developing his Lizard People conspiracy theory. He discusses the "hidden meaning" of it (and Jurassic Park of all things) in one of his books. swickles posted:The best video game movie is Gamer. eXistenZ

I went to an Alamo Draft House double feature of those movies last year and it was loving awesome. Yes, they’re bad movies, but seeing bad movies in a crowd like that rules. It’s why I have fond memories of seeing Snakes on a Plane. It was bad, but I went to the midnight release showing and everyone was amped in a really contagious way.

STAC Goat posted:I wasn't gonna watch the Sonic movie but if they setup a crossover with Altered Beast or Alex Kidd or something I might change my mind. There's been lots of pitches, including a fairly recent hideous CGI tv show pitch, but Nintendo has been giving the middle finger to almost everyone in Hollywood ever since the Mario bros movie. Ugly In The Morning posted:I went to an Alamo Draft House double feature of those movies last year and it was loving awesome. I think Mortal Kombat is actually a good if corny movie, unlike SF which is a campily fun bad one mostly elevated by a single performance. MK: Annihilation is a complete piece of poo poo, though, and I think is largely responsible for the tarnished reputation of the first one.

You could do a lot with the actual background lore of Monster Hunter. Like according to stuff from the old artbooks, the reason why the MonHun world is in such a state is because Humanity (which used to be space age at least) subjugated the megafauna so thoroughly that elder dragons came together to absolutely wreck their poo poo, twice. You could easily turn that into a pro-ecological movie or do something neat with it but I'm sure Anderson will somehow make the movie about Milla being some sorta half dragon lady what kicks rear end.
