I tried watching Waterworld some time ago and by the time the main character sells the romantic interest to a passing rapist it kind of got too weird to enjoy even ironically.

I've seen so many trailers for Free Guy that it feels like I've seen the whole movie already. Can't see it doing well but who knows.

It’s a pun, based on language familiar to the 47-year-old executive who insisted on it when he reflected on his own knowledge of playing video games in college.

Karloff posted:I don't get why people, especially on film twitter, are so mad about Clifford. It's a kids film about a big red dog getting involved in escapades, it looks harmless and fun for its intended audience of children. It seems like an odd thing to rail against. As someone who spends way too much time on Twitter, the only thing Film Twitter hates more than movies is people enjoying movies

Alan Smithee posted:Intolerance was about the left Unironically yes. Wikipedia posted:Griffith chose to explore the theme of intolerance partly in response to his previous film The Birth of a Nation (1915) being criticized by the NAACP and other groups for perpetuating racial stereotypes and glorifying the Ku Klux Klan.

Okay. Good to know. I’ve never heard an extra life in a video game referred to as a “free guy” but that might speak more to my ignorance than anything.

It's like that Frank Grillo movie, Boss Level, where a much more thematically relevant videogame name would have been Speed Run since Frank Grillo's character spends the entire movie trying to sequence break so he can get to the final part faster.

Have the feeling that the 50 year old producer who actually decided the name of it just like having the word Boss in it.

I can understand her being concerned that the case is still famous 15 years later, especially as the satanic panic elements introduced by the crazy detective on the case, merely eccentric fantasies then, make her interesting to qanon psychos who will probably want to kill her in our current cultural environment.

I'm not sure what is wrong with what they did. It was inspired by what happened to Amanda Knox, but its not actually a movie about what happened to her. Like maybe the writer could have avoided mentioning her name, but I think people could've figured it out anyways. As far as I can tell, none of the actual marketing material mentions the inspiration, only the one interview the guy did. Fiction takes inspiration from real life events all the time. There shouldn't be a need to conform to the facts when they completely change most of the details and its being presented as a fictional work. It'd be a different story if it was heavily marketing its ties to Amanda Knox's story or more closely matched it.

Hollywood can steal the rough outline of your life events, and do so so blatantly that it’s clear who is being referenced without needing to name them, make millions of dollars off of your story, and you are owed nothing, not money, not an opportunity to provide input, absolutely nothing? Would this movie exist if Amanda Knox didn’t?

I can see being upset that they made "Amanda Knox but the serial numbers are filed off" and then having the fictional version of her doing the things that people accused her of, like having a sexual relationship with her roommate or having her have anything at all to do with her roommate's murder. I think "keep my loving name out of your mouth" is actually really a reasonable request from someone who's been through a hell of a lot, including 8 years of false imprisonment.

Like, if you made a movie about a powerful Hollywood producer named Harvey Weinberg who was the target of a conspiracy by jealous rivals and spurned suitors and who had his reputation destroyed and his life ruined by false accusations of sexual assault, but who ultimately triumphs over his accusers in court and sees his reputation restored…well, it’s obviously not Harvey Weinstein, his story was completely different, it’s just a jumping off point and there’s no intent to draw parallels or imply that his accusers might also be liars. It’s just fiction.
