Is that haircut an example of italiaface? My Italian neighbor always told me that people were racist against Italians and there were like four words that were the equivalent of the n-word for Italians. I should have believed him.

Alan Smithee posted:https://twitter.com/MANvsGAME/status/1376633077045157889?s=20 Having just seen the film in its entirety on Youtube (a breakneck-paced 80 minutes) I gotta say... it's not quite that bad? It's agressively 70s, it's very much a Room-esque vanity project by a guy who has never made a movie before. Its editing is epileptic and jumps around wildly in time and space, leaving things disjointed and confusing at points. And its musical score is about as literal as a middle-schooler's youtube AMV about syncing up the lyrics to what's onscreen, at least when it's not using Mars, Bringer of War. But it DOES have very nice cinematography, lots of location shooting, nice set design, the money's certainly on the screen. And even the acting isn't terrible for a bunch of people who aren't actually actors, it can just pass as 70s Naturalism. It's a very Citizen Kane sorta rags to riches "misunderstood genius raises himself to the heights of fortune then throws it all away in his hubris" story that self-important auteurs love to make movies about, but it's not as flimsy about it as a Neil Breen movie. It's the best sort of bad movie, in that in some ways it's very very competent and watchable while still being bafflingly bad in others. It would make an excellent MST3K episode. I'd certainly rank it above The Room, in that at least the main character is less of an alien than Tommy Wiseau

Alan Smithee posted:is it bad movie night material tho? Yeah sure, the weird editing and pacing problems help here, there's usually some new unforeshadowed plot diversion every couple minutes for people to go "wait, what!?" at. Like it'll jump continents in between cuts, you'll go from a business lunch picnic in a cemetary STRAIGHT to a Kenyan prison, and then THAT will be over with in about 90 seconds and now we're somewhere else. It rarely boringly lingers on stuff There are slow parts, but even those usually have something funny about them. Like the extended sailing montage with Moody Blues music over it that has a superimposed calendar flipping pages to convey the passage of months like it's a time travel movie. It's got sort of a Dangerous Men energy to it Asterite34 fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Mar 29, 2021 |

Failed Imagineer posted:Honestly, just give the Safdies a SW trilogy, cowards The frenetic, all close-up story of Elan Sleazebaggano as he struggles to sell off the last of his death sticks in impoverished street-level Coruscant. Basebf555 posted:It's funny how this is like the constant refrain that you always hear with Christensen because it's been almost 20 years and there's nothing else to point to. I mean, yeah, but were those movies really going to help his career after? I saw him in some low-budget Nick Cage movie years back and it was...definitely the quality level you'd assume of that project. I'd imagine he spent his entire 20's trying to land more substantial roles and couldn't crawl out from under the weight of "petulant teenaged Anakin." It's unfair, because not even Natalie Portman or Ewan MacGregor could transcend the awkward garbage screenplay of those movies. Fortunately, they had roles prior to those movies that made it clear they were talented, but the greatest actors working would've come out of the prequels looking terrible. Hayden Christensen is probably a much better actor than circumstance would suggest.

Photoreal CGI, if I read it correctly. I hope it's a big weird space fantasy movie in the vein of what the 80s Star Wars riffs wanted to do but didn't have the budget or talent to pull off.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Really, a big part of why the sequels ended up falling flat on their face is because they were terrified of embracing the prequels, when the younger audiences remember them fondly and the older audiences ultimately don't give a poo poo because it's not like they can ignore them.

My Italian neighbor always told me that people were racist against Italians and there were like four words that were the equivalent of the n-word for Italians. I should have believed him. I think you could write a whole book on how it was okay to be horribly racist to and about Italians for almost all of American history, then they got provisionally promoted to "white", then immediately became a group it was okay to make fun of forever. I don't have a drop of italian blood and I'm not saying they're entirely victims but I do believe that Sacco and Vanzetti shouldn't have been killed, The Godfather was bullshit, and Italian-Americans contributed a whole lot of bodies to our 20th century wars.

As we all know from years of people defending/attacking the prequels for doing/not doing something bad/good and having deep spiritual meaning/being a sloppy mess, there is no way a character who has clearly taken the wrong lesson from being a jedi could read the prequels wrong/right

They're all different types of Star Wars fans. Rose is uncritical Tumblr people who care about the characters and headcanon more than the movies. The movie posits that they're better fans than the grumpy old fucks who get mad about movies online.

Of all the overhyped “Citizen Kane of bad movies”-type movies I’ve seen, Dangerous Men is definitely the one that most deserves the title. Every single plot decision, every edit, all the dialogue, it’s completely loving baffling and I don’t know why they bothered ever finishing it given the production history. It’s incredibly entertaining though because it really feels like it was made by an alien or an AI who’s been fed plot points from 100 different action movies.
