I still find it hilarious that "This film is presented in 4:3 to preserve the director's creative vision" is what Film Twitter had a meltdown about, and not that cornball screed from the Russos.

my movie chat is that i saw the new mortal kombat movie and it sucked. i turned it off an hour in when they were still training in a cave boringly and the tournament hadn't evne started. the 1995 moivie was perfectly paced and had cool fighting and they shouldve just remade it but added gore

I feel like I tricked myself into liking Mortal Kombat, and then the more I thought about the more I realized how much I didn't like it in hindsight. A couple good moments, but it's just a super lame movie.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

I don’t know if the Russos are deep into huffing their own farts or deeply insecure about how - in light of revelations about Marvels FX pipeline and how that relates to IW/Endgame - their claim to having actually directed the films they’re most famous for is kinda materially shaky, but either option is loving hilarious.

I like the new mortal kombat movie more than the old one because it had blood in it.

I really don’t like the 95 movie at all. I’ve tried watching it many times. Like all PWSA films it’s just not fun to me.

I could post the RLM clip but really when I first saw that scene I was just beyond shocked at how lousy it was. it remind me of a cheap fan film.

I don’t get Anderson. He gets to do these cool movies and just ends up making the dullest things with them.

I don't think anyone likes that movie for reasons other than nostalgia. It's trash.

GvK I feel is like Rampage, stupid and silly and a lot of the individual parts are forgettable at best, but they absolutely commit to their premise. They're not ashamed of it or half-assing it, they revel in the giant monster smackdowns and video game references/Hollow Earth gonzo sci-fi adventures and the giant robot dinosaur, and even bring in new themes that are interesting and future works could have fun with.

We have way too many movies, especially but not exclusively adaptations, that are ashamed of, embarrassed by their core premise, and it shows. And it goes back well beyond the era of irony poisoning.

Thats what I love about the monster verse. They’re all very sincere films and I think they’re all really great in their own ways. Def my favorite “””universe””” or whatever.

I will go to bat for Soldier though that's mostly because Kurt Russel carries the movie and Jason Scott Lee is a great antagonist. CP's complaint about Anderson movies looking really dull is very valid though, I remember Soldier looking really flat.

The scene where the dude gets turned into little meat cubes by the lasers makes Resident Evil worth watching.

Is Ultraviolent as stupid and awesome as Equilibrium is? Equilibrium is maybe the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen, but it’s fun as hell.

I personally think it's less awesome than Equilibrium but it balances it out by being way more stupid. Equilibrium has a society and technology that makes sense with the story, even though gunkata is a bit of an odd duck. Ultraviolet just seems to throw stuff at a wall and it doesn't even take a look if something sticks.

Excuse me, but Jumanji also had a black guy and a woman so Hollywood is totally progressive now as long as you're not a woman or a person of color who wants to direct films.

Is it me or were mainstream Hollywood movies more racially diverse 20-30 years ago than they are now?

It wasn't all puppies and rainbows but like half the big movie stars of the 90s were Black. Maybe it's because Hollywood spends a lot of time now pandering to foreign markets that they've, probably arbitrarily, decided are racist.




Ok I read some more and that thread goes places.

Yeah, it's all very "Oh no, we're not racist, but we need this movie to do well in China and you know how those people are."
