The big problem with that trailer is "Gimme Shelter". I mean, it's a classic song, but it should probably just be retired from trailers, because it seems like it's been in HUNDREDS OF THEM. Grraaaaah!

Yeah, though, anyone who was surprised that World War Z has been adapted into a linear narrative action thriller starring Brad Pitt has too much faith in Hollywood.

Animal Kingdom was loving great. I was so happy and surprised when Jacki Weaver got an Oscar nomination. I mean, of course the Oscars are bullshit, but then sometimes they're not. Since Animal Kingdom, both Weaver and Ben Mendelsohn, the other standout of the film, have picked up quite a few good roles in American films. The Rover looks great. Guy Pearce rules.

I dislike it because I feel like they just should have gone with a whole section of Kashmir rather than using the same musical cue from it over and over, and it would have totally worked. gently caress IT IT'S THE 70's.

Green Crayons posted:What's funny about the trailer edit is that you see the doggie hyper punch, and then there's a two/three second break -- just long enough for you to tell yourself "haha they're trying to show you that these dudes are bad dudes with attitude because they punched a dog. Okay, I can roll with it." I refuse to believe the goofiness is unintentional. They had to know how silly it would be, having a guy go on a rampage because his dog got killed and his nice car was stolen. and, I mean, if it was straightforward, unironic, it'd be, like, Cusack or Willis or Neeson. But Reeves is an underrated master of deadpan comedy. People forget, "I know kung fu" was intended to be incredibly funny.

kiimo posted:The campaign for U.N.C.L.E. was taken from my boss at WB and given to the guy who did the Superman and American Sniper campaigns because they absolutely must have this film be successful. It's a shame because my boss' trailer was much better and not nearly as busy. There is a lot of humor in this, Guy Ritchie-style. It's still a pretty fun trailer. Before watching it I thought the movie was going to bomb. Now I don't.

Hard to believe one of the most anticipated movies of the year could be a fourth Mad Max, but this is the timeline we live in. fffffuck yes. If it was just Hardy subbing in for Gibson I'd have reservations, but Charlize Theron is the second lead, so everything is awesome. And I love Nicholas Hoult, too! The absolute relish with which he says "WHAT A LOVELY DAY!" just cracks me up.

That doesn't look as drop-dead gorgeous as Skyfall, but Skyfall is such a high bar in that regard that it would have been nigh on impossible to match or surpass it. Still looks pretty solid, and Christoph Waltz just seems so right as a Bond villain.

I dunno, I just enjoyed Zoolander a lot the first time I saw it, then saw it again by chance on TV, and loved it more, and I don't think my liking of it has ever declined on any subsequent viewings. It helps that it's really quotable. And the gasoline fight is loving hilarious.

I will say that Reynolds' Deadpool voice is pretty drat close to what I imagined Deadpool's voice would sound like - high-pitched, a bit dorky, kinda like an ADHD kid. and the costume is the most comic accurate costume ever.

Corek posted:Deadpool is releasing in February, so that should tell you what Fox thinks of it. They view it as a movie that will do best when isolated from any major competition, rather than lost in the summer shuffle or humiliated by better-made big budget movies in the fall/winter. January's still a dead zone, but February can be good.

kiimo posted:Mortgage brokers and lenders pushed like crazy to refinance everyone during the interest rate drop and sell them on consolidating their credit card debt with their equity they had built up in their house over the years. So now their new mortgage is big again and all the lenders are forcing their employees to try to put everyone on a 2/5 ARM (which makes the lenders and brokers the most money), where their note rate is fixed for two years but has a pre-payment penalty for five years. I absolutely refused to sell these mortgages and thus got fired from three different companies over the span of three years.  and that's why you made a career change to movie advertising, right?

First, she was nominated for Comedy Actress. Second, her film, Joy, has been getting mixed reviews, to the point there's some doubt she will be nominated. sorry I am a film awards nerd, it is a sickness.

A Serious Man is probably the Coens' most abstract film. Hail Caesar! looks like one of their goof-off films, like Burn After Reading. really looking forward to enjoying the unabashed chaotic silliness.

kiimo posted:Netflix is developing a live-action Zelda TV show billed as a "Game of Thrones for the whole family" as if that was a thing that could ever exist. So if it's any consolation the fantasy genre is as tired and bloated as the comic book one. In fact pick a genre and we're pretty saturated already. Well, I feel like slapstick comedies are due for a comeback, as a refreshing change of pace. The few slapstick-ish movies I've seen recently have been animation (Shaun the Sheep comes to mind). That can and should change!

Young Freud posted:I think that the problem is that the Cal-Arts style has moved from the 2D animation and into 3D. It's pretty much why most 3D-animated films tend to look the same. I'd love to see something done in the style of Japanese artists like Yoshiyuki Yasuhiko or Yoshiaki Kawajiri or French artists Enki Bilal or Moebius. I for one loving loved Rango (like, I wrote an essay on why I loved it so much for a contest giveaway on a movie blog, and won a DVD of it), and I think it represents a possible new direction forward in terms of greater stylization, with a willingness to be uglier and dirtier when necessary. The PIXAR/Dreamworks style is too clean, too round, too smooth. Of course that way's cheaper and easier to model, but as the technology gets better, the round soft style won't be that much cheaper anymore, and we'll see some really interesting things.

Chamber pieces, they're called, and when done well, they're magnificent. although usually it's a dialogue between two people in a room, and not a lengthy gunfight in a warehouse.

My favorite war movie is Shenandoah, where Jimmy Stewart and his family are all like "no, gently caress your war, I hate both sides, stay off my property."  and it's really ham-handed, sure, but the tone of the film is sorta actively contemptuous of war and the people that think fighting wars is a damned good idea. I think war films that are about soldiers have a difficult time not being pro-war, and true anti-war films either have to be relentlessly miserable, or focus on civilians who are hosed over.

SomeJazzyRat posted:I certainly agree. But I think a lot of people go into it hearing about how it is one of the greatest animated films, and come out the other end disappointed or underwhelmed. Hell, I rewatched it a couple years ago, having not watched it since I was in middle school, expecting to 'finally' get it. It was fine, but it was where I realized that it's reputation has certainly gotten away from itself. My post is more expectation control than a definitive statement about it's quality than anything. I was distracted by the lousy dub. I should probably just watch the subtitled version instead. but really, the anime is SO MUCH BETTER. Is Innocence good? I have it on DVD and I've been meaning to watch it one of these days.

kiimo posted:Iñárritu does a lot of them too. Gore Verbinski is awesome, and a supremely underrated filmmaker. He gets a bad rap because of the Pirates sequels, but there's not really much he could've done about those, and he directed them with flair. But he did one of the best animated films of the 21st century so far, the first Pirates, and the underappreciated comedy classic Mouse Hunt. And The Ring! okay, and The Lone Ranger wasn't great shakes either, but like the Pirates sequels, it was a bad movie with a lot of good filmmaking going on within it.

kiimo posted:More disturbing is people saying The Force Awakens sucks while simultaneously waxing poetic about Transformers and Fast & The Furious. I don't like Transformers in the slightest, and have only seen two movies from the Fast/Furious universe, but Force Awakens is not a good movie. It is technically competent. Mostly. It has good sound design? It has a few somewhat interesting characters? But overall it's mediocre, and that's worse than the prequels, which are endlessly fascinating in what a fiasco they are. Like, at this point, we still talk about the prequels more than TFA. there just isn't much to say, because TFA has nothing under the hood. The thing is, this forum likes things that lend themselves to discussion. So Avengers sucks because there's not much you can say about it beyond sharing quotes, and doing what SMG did: showing why it's poorly shot.

If someone's tastes are not aligned with what generally gets accolades, to them those indicators won't be particularly valuable.

Samovar posted:What if Agatha Christie wrote Groundhog day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBrB6C5OFgk. meh. Speaking of Mystery Groundhog Day, the TV show Day Break did it better, although it was a conspiracy thriller mystery rather than slasher horror mystery. The coolest twist on the trope was that the protagonist's injuries would carry over to the next day, so if he died, he died. and that the way he treated people could subtly and then not so subtly alter their behavior on subsequent cycles. very cool. It leaves things unexplained because it didn't get a second season, but the main mystery is resolved in a satisfying way.
