Out of curiosity how many movies retell the story of the passover? I can only think of three maybe four.

 FINALLY, TOGETHER AT LAST. Maaaaan, Scorsese's Cape Fear got cropped from scope to 16x9. The fact that pan and scanning is back to terrorize scope films on streaming blows my goddamn mind. People really do hate them black bars, I guess.

Once a network sees that they can wring money from something perpetually, they’ll never let the spigot turn off. God help a tv show if it’s a merch machine, that’s how we’ve ended up with The Simpsons having a run that is, depending on what you consider their golden period, anywhere from 60% to 75% terrible, BUT IT IS STILL GOING and we will never be rid of it completely now with the Maggie shorts that Disney can make forever because she doesn’t speak.

It's not that Zoom reinvented the wheel, but packaged existing technology in a particular way that enabled market dominance, thereby asserting itself in public consciousness for general usage.

Family Guy eventually became the established show that got to punk on the smaller, more engaging show, like Simpsons did when they dropped Peter in a sea of Homer clones. So FG decided to pick on Bob's Burgers for some weird reason. They also flanderized their characters hard after they came back. With Quagmire going from oversexed neighbor with a Moe-like Lois obsession to a rapist and deviant and Brian becoming the embodiment of white liberal/feminism.

Whatever happened to Peter Bogdanovich? I just watched What's Up Doc? and Paper Moon back to back and they're both really loving good. Did he just decide to take it easy after the 70s? Also, anyone got some recommendations for more live action crazy screwball poo poo like What's Up Doc?

He had a bunch of flops as the American New Wave started to crumple, and then his girlfriend, Dorothy Stratten, was shot to death (the subject of Bob Fosse's final film, Star 80), after which he's mostly done scholarly things and suffered through bankruptcies.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:I bought a Bort key tag when I went to Universal last year. It’s literally still a nine figure revenue source, there are at least thousands of people whose sons are also named Bort It even still pulls in a couple million people for new episodes, which is a far fall from the time 33 million people watched Bart Gets an F, but broadcast TV is dying, so that’s no surprise. It is somewhat sad that now you’ll have to go to Disney to buy those sort of tchotchkes The Cameo fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Apr 12, 2020 |

It's weird how all the adults in the first movie seemed like adults, while the kids in the first movie never seemed to grow up, they just grew older. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdmYkfKqUxA

He also had a brief comeback in the mid-80s with Mask but immediately followed that with more flops. He's directed more here and there but not consistently and yeah, focused on film scholarship more than anything.

I'm sure the Universal lawyers went through all that poo poo when the merger was announced. They probably have a backup plan in place to rehab the ride already.

Isn’t that ride a tie-in to the Simpsons movie and like almost a decade and a half old now, I’m surprised with the amount of turnover those theme parks go through over the last couple decades that the ride’s even still around Wikipedia says it opened in like mid-2008, so like a year after the movie. Yet I can’t think of a property, especially a Universal one, that you could replace it with.

So Ready Player One... I skipped the book and the movie because 'lol did you see that reference' stuff irritates me quite a bit. I'm assuming I can guess the main thrust of the story and the trailer wasn't great, but I really like Tye Sheridan and I still like Spielberg. Is it worth watching (taking current lockdown into consideration)?

They *just* finished the Jurassic Park > Jurassic World ride refurb like last year.

Yet I can’t think of a property, especially a Universal one, that you could replace it with. They already have an experience ride somewhere else though. Could also do The Purge, another Jurassic World, Boss Baby. . .

This doesn't really have anything to do with anything but I saw some clips of the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka film a few years back and actually it looks like a pretty good remake so I watched it What's interesting is that unlike the original film they left the more racist bits in, unexplained or defended but goes a little further - here's the original! The oompa-loompas are slaves that Wonka intentionally underpays, he's a broken manbaby also and you should not emulate this piece of poo poo, run Charlie. I know it caught a lot of flak but if anything it's closer to the book than anything else related to it e: I don't remember the whole book but the only thing I recall they made up was Christopher Lee's Dentist Dad character. Everything else is p much straight from the book. It was always unsettling and creepy and Great Glass Elevator was even more so and even more hosed up about things RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Apr 12, 2020 |

Happy Death Day was a Universal release. They could make that into a ride where bad poo poo keeps happening and you start the ride over a whole bunch of times.RBA Starblade posted:This doesn't really have anything to do with anything but I saw some clips of the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka film a few years back and actually it looks like a pretty good remake so I watched it That whole movie is so loving unnerving and devoid of all charm. I never read the book, but if that's what it's like then holy poo poo why do people give that to children. I know Roald Dahl was creepy and weird but holy balls if the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory resembles the film. It just never feels okay.Gene Wilder as Wonka is an eccentric madman, Johnny Depp as Wonka seems like a child molester.
