Vandar posted:Patrick Rothfuss is never going to finish the Kingkiller Chronicles. Probably for the best. The first book was pretty good, if flawed, but man that second book is so bad. The whole "The (virgin) MC is so good at sex that the goddess of sex is impressed" thing is literally teenage deviantart erotica level bad writing. Its hard to believe its not a parody of itself.

MH Knights posted:Did Troy get some extended Director's Cut that was better than the theatrical release? I know the extended version of Kingdom of Heaven was considered to be superior to the theatrical. I haven't seen it but from what i've heard the directors cut of KoH is meant to be one of the best films of the 21st century and should be in the same conversation as things like The New World, There Will Be Blood and other epics. I haven't seen it partially because of that level of praise and the original was so poor it makes me side eye it.

If it's still got the dumbass 21st-century-humanism big speech at the end, I can't see how it could be.

I remember thinking that there were a bunch of sequences that seemed weirdly incongruous with the rest of the film, like you could still tell where the cuts were made, or like there were scenes that were still missing and just never got added back in. It also flip-flopped a lot between pseudo-swords and sandals action about a guy getting into sick fights on his journey to the holy land, political drama and LotR-esque giant fantasy battle sequences and never seemed to make up its mind about which of the three it wanted to focus on.

Feels at times like Hollywood's got the same problem as the video game industry; they've discarded so many once-huge genres over the years that they have no idea how to make them anymore.

Was going to say how Hollywood doesn't yet realize how Wil Smith comedies are usually poison nowadays, but I see they are making Bright 2.

I know Ron Perlman was in it and there is a scene where a boy fails a manhood challenge and has to spit out a broken egg. I think there was a kraken or something in it too. Like a knock off Old One. Be absolutely damned to tell you anything else.

muscles like this! posted:Amazon is making a Lord of the Rings show although it is in a weird position where it is Middle Earth but not the time period of the books, instead it is set much earlier. Judging how terrible people are with making prequels, every minute there will be a forced reference to the good trilogy just like in those awful Hobbit movies regardless of how they fit the time period, style, tone or plot Just watch them have explicit copies of Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli because hey remember that one time high fantasy on big screen was decent???

Why does it always have to be prequels? Can't we move on instead. Lets follow some hobbit or ranger through the aftermath of LOTR. There are still orcs and monsters and trolls and wizards and politics and evil nations around to build conflict around

happyhippy posted:Was going to say how Hollywood doesn't yet realize how Wil Smith comedies are usually poison nowadays, but I see they are making Bright 2. Will Smith seems to be a textbook case of the modern Hollywood thing where they're so afraid of failure they overmanage a project until it's impossible to succeed. Fartbox posted:Why does it always have to be prequels? Can't we move on instead. Lets follow some hobbit or ranger through the aftermath of LOTR. There are still orcs and monsters and trolls and wizards and politics and evil nations around to build conflict around Kind of the whole theme of LotR though is basically an End of an Age; all the magic, both good and evil, is slowly leaving the world, and it's the last gasp of the last of the the Satanic supervillains before mortals get their poo poo together and stop trying to use his most powerful weapon against him. It's supposed to be an ancient myth drawing from European ideas of forgotten prehistory. I think possibly explicitly a European take on stories like Journey to the West.

Bright 2 is happening because Bright was one of Netflix's biggest hit.Fartbox posted:Why does it always have to be prequels? Can't we move on instead. Lets follow some hobbit or ranger through the aftermath of LOTR. There are still orcs and monsters and trolls and wizards and politics and evil nations around to build conflict around More specifically no one wants to write a sequel to one of the most important works of literature of all time so they are adapting the stuff that was already written in the supplementary material to the main trilogy and The Hobbit.

Young Sheldon is actually kind of a blatant Wonder Years ripoff. Slightly more comedic in tone, I suppose, but it's got the narration and everything and is shot like a network drama show. Yeah I don't really get it either.

I can say the same about Solomon Kane.Ghost Leviathan posted:Feels at times like Hollywood's got the same problem as the video game industry; they've discarded so many once-huge genres over the years that they have no idea how to make them anymore. The problem with both industries is that the big companies have become risk adverse. In decades past, they were definitely more willing to put big money into something new and untested. It's why everything is either an infinite sequel, or a remake of a movie that made a lot of money 10+ years ago. The good stuff is still out there, but also like the video game industry, it's in smaller and more independent studios, which can't afford to put Avengers amounts of money into things. I am not sure exactly why Will Smith still has the Hollywood capital he had back in the 90's though, because he's, been in nothing but bombs for a while.
