I mean, I can get behind an artist if they want to do a big crazy dumb move like that for no reason. Like, power to you I guess, that's a (somewhat) respectable commitment to your craft. But it seems suuuper dumb and disrespectful to get a massive cholo tattoo if that isn't your actual background.

Looks fun, but leans on the drama more than I was expecting/hoping. Reminds me of the 50/50 film's tone.

Well, this looks certainly better than I expected from the description.

A friend of mine interacted with him when he was doing that live video protest thing in Queens. Says he was a nice but quiet guy. Shy. Which is pretty lol.

I love me some John Carpenter, just check the av. I just don't know if I need to see a claustrophobic serial killer chase film on a two story screen.

I mostly have issues with Blumhouse and the way he treats and pays his crews. If you're shooting a movie that's pegged to make a big theatrical return and have a fuckin IMAX release you can shoot union and pay your crew properly.

I don’t think anyone’s making big off a 2-5 million movie.

But if it makes cool genre that most people outside A24 aren’t making....game

Sorry, I don't mean to derail this into an anti-Blumhouse rant. I don't have any qualms with the quality of their pictures and I'm all for good stories from smaller studios that can compete with the juggernaut tentpole superhero dreck out there. I can only speak for the comments I've received from experienced post-production crews that a lot of people don't want to work for them because of the pay vs. how they're overworked (frequently non-union, not paid for overtime, compressed schedules, etc).

A lot of Blumhouse movies are making 10-20x their budgets back at the boxoffice, which is a huge profit in the industry. With those kinds of returns they can afford to spend a bit of extra money on workers' salaries and more reasonable schedules, but they don't.

I think you’d want the score in IMAX surround sound, though

Man after how well Skull Island hit its tone and how great some of these shots are I was so sure this was going to be a slam dunk, a departure from the nothingness that was the 2014 'Zilla and a great build to the eventual showdown with Kong.

Holy cow was I wrong. Haven't been burned by a trailer that hard since... Pirates of the Caribbean 3 I think

That movie was strange. I quite enjoyed all the Monster scenes, but every single scene with human actors was written so bad I felt almost insulted.

Yeah, turning what did be a worldwide catastrophic event into some dumb Kyle Chandler family drama was a colossal misstep. Nothing about the human storyline worked, even with pretty good actors involved. Someone should release a cut where it's just the monster stuff.

I feel like that is what makes it the most Toho of the American adaptations - a random family who is coincidentally at the center of every kaiju attack. i think there are multiple Godzilla movies where "random Dad" pitches the correct plan to scientists and they go along with it. All we're missing is the plucky reporter. :D

People kept complaining that the angry dad died too early in the 2014 movie, so this time you get Kyle Chandler screaming for two hours. Be careful what you wish for and all that.

I haven’t seen Godzilla 2, but I do feel obliged to point out that while I love Bryan Cranston, I find Kyle Chandler is about as interesting as drywall. Like, he’s entirely capable, just interchangeable with any other bland middle aged white guy actor out there. And that’s not even because of Breaking Bad, I wanted him to go full Hal!

Godzilla 14's humans were boring and bland to the core. KOTM's humans were better conceived but more poorly executed. G14 is clearly a better film, but KOTM taps into why I like monster movies more—that it gets super weird with the lore and just goes nuts with its scale of destruction and sci-fi concepts. It's more a guilty pleasure than '14, but both films have their merits. Neither of them are necessarily "good" in the traditional sense, but that's also true of about 95% of Godzilla movies.

Godzilla movies are kind of like Star Trek shows/movies: the new one is always the worst one until it's later accepted for its merits. The detractors aren't necessarily wrong, they're just less willing to accept the good with the bad until something new comes along to hate on and gives it some contrast.
