Leavemywife posted:I didn't think it was that bad. The reveal at the end seemed...Well, ho lee gently caress was a pretty good summary. Up until that point, it was kind of a boring drama murder mystery. I wouldn't call it a good twist, if that's what you're saying. It's the kind of twist that relies on plot holes and casts every character as either a complete idiot or a cartoonish nutjob.

Groovelord Neato posted:The thing I'll never understand about the Doom movie is why they made it dumber than if they had more directly adapted the premise. There's a decent horror flick to be made out of the original Doom but they made it worse in every possible way. The whole movie should have been shot like the first person sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmN1Xk1SdwQ

JfishPirate posted:Speaking of Godzilla 2014, the story writer David Callaham (also writer on Doom 2005, Expendables 1-3, an uncredited rewrite on Ant-Man 1 and two unreleased comic book films, WW84 and Shang-Chi) has been confirmed as the writer for the upcoming Hercules film. Disney has officially greenlit the project, and the Russo brothers will produce, rather than directing. This wont be as good as the Rock's Hercules

Any future Doom movie should use the gonzo "the demons are actually weapons engineered by an alien race and the centre of resistance on Earth is Mormonism because the aliens can't affect people of faith" stuff from the 90s novels

ANOTHER SCORCHER posted:I wanna hear this take, genuinely. Godzilla (1954) is famously a nuclear allegory, but it also invokes the fear of an unstoppable invader from Japan's defeat in World War II. Godzilla (2014) is a "better" Godzilla movie because it lifts those themes and slaps them onto San Francisco. But it has the fundamental problem that Americans don't have the same fears. We don't fear the Bomb anymore, so that aspect was minimized and the movie is left groping for something to replace it with. They mostly settle on a vague environmental message (delivered with a nice fat MAN ARROGANT THINK CONTROL NATURE line in case you missed it) with some leftover sprinklings of nuclear, some climate change, a bit of 'wrath of the gods' and a bit of 'god doesn't register your existence'. But..we don't fear any of those things either. Godzilla (1998) is and was criticized for dropping that, but it does so to mold itself to the fears of America, especially in the 1990s. We fear that our government cares more about getting re-elected than it does protecting us. We fear that our military is a bunch of cocky idiots who will destroy everything in their path, including themselves, to no effect. We fear that the press that's supposed to serve as a check on power is a bunch of selfish ladder-climbers who don't care who gets hurt so long as they get credit for the story. We fear being toppled from our dominance and replaced. We fear the enemy that hides in and around and under, not some unstoppable looming force because we don't believe anything is unstoppable. G54 is the nightmares of a defeated empire, G98 is the nightmares of a victorious one. G14 is stapling the former to the latter and is thus far less relevant to America in the 21st century than G98, making 98 the better American Godzilla. I mean, the part where the populace demands to be let back in immediately, clogging the phone lines so the heroes can't get out word that there's a second, worse outbreak coming that the leadership isn't prepared for because they're ignoring the scientists and declaring victory is more relevant now than anything in 14.

If any sort of seeds had been planted about it earlier, then it would have been better, but it's just so out of left field, it's like the ending of a different script was tacked on.

MasqueradeOverture posted:Either Gareth Edwards is a genius and studios keep loving up his movies, or he's such an incompetent hack that studios have to save his poo poo all the time. No in between. lol if Americans remade Shin Godzilla, it would have the government have a royal rumble to decide what to do before Godzilla's next attack, and the decision would involve the president making GBS threads on his own desk in the Oval Office. If you want a spiritual remake of Shin Godzilla, but with a western coating, you have to go German.

Stallone just said on an IG Q&A session that he and Warner Brothers are currently in pre-production on Demolition Man 2. I am giddy beyond belief. Also, this: quote:Stallone shared more good news besides the Demolition Man sequel. He also let slip that his long-awaited James Byron Huggins’ sci-fi novel Hunter adaptation is also finally moving forward. “We’re making the movie Hunter. That’s gonna happen. That’s been in the works for like 20 years.” He didn’t mention a specific studio working on the project, but since he did buy the rights to the novel back in 2009, it’s clear Stallone is passionate about the subject matter.

It was one of the biggest film twitter accounts that just did nothing but post screencaps then they were bought by FilmSchoolRejects and started pumping out self-important essays as well. I've had them blocked for years. There's a pretty good parody account active now (there used to be another one but I think it died)
