joylessdivision posted:The only Friday sequels I struggle with are 3 and 8, mostly because so much of 3 is built around 3D effects shots that look dopey without the 3D and I loving hate Shelley. Obnoxious loving character. The terribleness of those things turns it around and makes it really endearing to me.

Jason Takes Manhattan has enough good bits stitched together in it that I'm able to watch it and be entertained by it. The guitar scene, the dance floor scene, the sauna rocks scene, the boxing match, the Times Square stuff, etc.

Baron von Eevl posted:Not sure if this is true but someone told me part 3 was never actually released in 3D, which makes all the "throwing things directly at the camera" shots that much funnier. No, it was absolutely released in 3D, and it actually looked so much better than Jaws 3D and Amityville 3D released within a year, both of which had higher budgets, especially the former. I have the Blu-ray with the 3D glasses and aside from the obvious "I'm wiggling this baseball bat at the camera" bullshit, it looks amazing. joylessdivision posted:I love Jason goes to Hell because it is incredibly stupid and Creighton Duke is the best character added to the franchise since Tommy Jarvis. Absolutely agree on the whiplash between the best post-zombie Jason design (part VII) and the underwhelming part VIII design. Also, they never should have put "Manhattan" in the title, nor should they have placed so much of the advertising around it. Two-thirds of the movie are spent on a boat that can't decide if it's a luxury cruise or a fishing vessel, and then another twenty minutes in Vancouver with a scene or two that was actually shot in NYC. I think it comes down to five minutes in Times Square. poo poo, even the low-budge Maniac Cop series managed to shoot on location in NYC a hell of a lot more than part VIII.

Jason Takes Manhattan fell victim to something that Sean Cunningham used to do all the time(although in this case he wasn't involved), which is to put out a title and a poster long before any actual details about the film had been hashed out. So you commit to JASON TAKES MANHATTAN and then you find out that poo poo, we can only actually shot in NYC for a week. Then it's oh wait no, actually we get like three days. It's too late to change the title of the movie at that point.

It's too late to change the title of the movie at that point. If I'm not mistaken, from reading the Crystal Lake Memories book, the budget for part VIII got slashed several times between the diminished returns of part VII (Jason vs Carrie, which was originally supposed to be Jason vs Freddy, but Paramount and New Line couldn't come to a deal) as well as other slasher franchises bombing in '89 (Nightmare on Elm Street 5, Halloween 5, Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, though that wasn't released until 1990) So most of the ideas in the script, like the rooftop boxing originally supposed to be at Madison Square Garden, were cut and more and more of the story was shifted to the boat while they decided to shoot the rest of the city stuff in Vancouver instead of NYC with the exception of just one day.

I forgot that detail, that it was literally just a single day of NYC shooting. So they basically got Hodder to walk through Times Square a few times and that was it.

Exactly, even the subway scenes are laughably shot in Canada, especially with the polite graffiti in the otherwise clean trains.

Maybe its like some kind of weird "cry wolf" effect, where they just assume its some rando impersonator and not the real deal so they end up letting their guard down.

It seems more like how '2000' was in so many titles for no reason, everything had to be in or vaguely associated with New York to be cool.

Yeah, I'm curious about how Borat 2 is gonna land. So much of what made Borat 1 work was him tricking Republicans into saying the quiet part loud. Post-Trump, they absolutely have no filter and aren't even bothering with that anymore.

The highlight of Who is America was him convincing a chud rep from Georgia to shout the n-word and run at an ISIS agent with his bare rear end, there is always a deeper level to which you can find.

Keeping mind too part of the thing with Borat is how he’s from a third world country and is kind of backwards, like in the first when he tried to kidnap Pamela Anderson in a sack to marry her. I can’t see something like that working today so as long as he can avoid stuff like that he should be ok

This is why instead of full reboots or more sequels they should just recycle the idea and do a two movie remake where one is Jason on a boat movie and just have it be Jason on a boat and then the ending can be boat drifting towards the statue of liberty, then do a full Jason Takes Manhattan movie that really is shot completely in NYC. Like Jason Takes a Boat is awesome as a F13 movie concept, just not when it takes up most of the screen time in a movie called Jason Takes Manhattan that has this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5fc43O3ynE

This trailer worked perfectly, it’s the only one of the series I saw in the theater, and I only did so because of this specific  trailer.I’ll never forget the pure joy of ‘oh poo poo they got me’ while watching Jason in a rowboat with the affordable not-Jerry-Orbach guy. Showbiz really is best when the carnies win. I love it, God help me.

Disney's CFO is now bemoaning the backlash to Mulan being filmed in Xinjiang. I continue to wonder how these tentpole productions fail to do reputational due diligence. Before big-dollar transactions, major corporations hire intelligence firms to assess their reputational risks. It involves digging up info on relevant personnel as well as anticipating possible angles of PR backlash. It's considered good corporate governance. If you pay the tens of thousands it costs to commission such a report, you'd catch red flags like filming near detention camps and hiring sexual predators. Of course, it would equally flag things like an actor being a pro-Hong Kong activist. Risk management cuts both ways.

Corporations like Disney and guys like Bloomberg and Bezos probably view themselves as bigger than any singular country and a state of their own I assume. The US is becoming small to them.
