MonsieurChoc posted:This video goes into why the original Cats musical is alright, and how the movie shits all over it. Both are good in their own rights. The stage musical is an brilliant extravaganza about something that shouldn't work but somehow does. The movie is a Lovecraftian concoction full of inexplicably bad direction, special effects, and artistic choices. You watch the former to see something good, you watch the latter to laugh your rear end off.

Correct. It is both good and bad, with most of the good up top and most of the bad toward the end. Even the bad stuff was ambitious, though, and it attempted to do something new and interesting with the material, so overall I'm glad it exists. Compared with the comic sequels from a decade ago, it's night and day.

I definitely respect that it tried something and it was very successful for about 2/3 of the show, but yeah it dropped all the interesting stuff and devolved into boring nonsense at the end there.

I didn't realize people disliked Watchmen and now I'm reading through the negative audience reviews on RT and very few of these opinions seem like they should be taken seriously. Lots of people upset that racists would like Rorschach.

Eh... first impression isn't good. We're long past the time when that lower pitch overlay on the kid's voice in the church stopped being scary, and it's not a good sign when they start explaining the concept of exorcism in the trailer.

Watchmen was a really interesting take on the IP and what happened before and after the events of the comic, especially doing it from the point of view of minorities. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know about the Tulsa Massacre before the show, so I'll always be beholden to it for that. The ending felt super rushed, though. There was a lot they had to wrap up at the end, so some of the vamping they did with Ozymandias in his bubble world in the beginning felt superfluous. I also kept waiting for Nite Owl to show up since they kept teasing all his gadgets. Also, I think it's pretty funny that Don Johnson is a solid go-to for racist white guy. He nailed the part in Machete, and got to reprise the role in Watchmen. Lol.

The Exorcist is my favorite horror movie. This looks like poo poo. If you can't conjure up a single creepy moment in a trailer, I have very little hope for your movie.

The only thing I don't like is the repeated small sample cut offs of the original theme. That seemed a bit silly. The little girl in the church looked very Evil Deady which is fun.

I still think about "Evil dies tonight!" from one of his Halloween movies. I watched that movie alone in my living room one day and I was dying laughing.

kiimo posted:trailer 2 is much scarier but still, it isn't Evil Dead. I've had a question I've been meaning to ask in here: In your experiences, what percentage of the 'final' film do you typically have access to for each step of the advertisement process? Teaser? First full Trailer? Second/Final trailer? I feel like there's teasers that come out while the film is still being shot. In those instances, do you have access to the script to try and fit a tone, or do you just kinda wing it with what you have?

Script comes first then editor's assembly then the first feature reel then subsequent feature reels, sometimes up to like 7 or 8 before the feature is locked. But then there can be pick up shots to supplement it. There are often times that the film hasn't wrapped when the first teaser comes out. Also VFX can go on right up until release Or in the case of, oh let's go with Green Lantern, never finish.

Not only that, but the dailies. Whatever shots we choose though need to be finished and colored though and sometimes the production / editorial pushes back on that. And watching dailies can sometimes give you a false sense of "this movie is going to be good or bad" and you don't really know until you see it finished which is why some idiotic goons can say things like "Pixels is a good movie" and "Argo looks like trash" and then they switch places by the end and said goon stops giving up those kinds of opinions on the forums.

I worked on a 2005 horror feature film where the editor was told to start cutting a trailer on day 4 of principal photography, and they subsequently ended up 2 weeks behind in dailies. That is, they stopped cutting scenes for over a week, which is generally not a good idea when you're in production.

Ehud posted:The Exorcist is my favorite horror movie. Yeah, honestly, it's likely going to suffer even more because it'll inevitably invite comparisons to one of the greatest films ever made (how could it not?). Probably would have been better off not being tied into the Exorcist series, IMO. It'll probably be better than Exorcist 2, but that's not really saying a great deal is it?
