That movie had dangerously high levels of horny.

Like, it definitely wanted to curdle your blood, but also wanted to make sure exactly where it was when it curdled.

They also have access to friends with large spacehips who could fly around the world picking people up. And mutants who can read the minds of everyone on Earth to see who wants to be picked up to make things even easier.

Now that's sensible.

Both Mars terraforming and the whole freedom by finance and influence.

It seemed to work okay for Israel.

Not so much for the Palestinians, but that's a problem wholly avoided by moving to Mars or the Blue Area of the moon.

EDIT: Or think of it as less of an Israel and more along the lines of a women's shelter from abusive partners. No one should have to flee their home, but "should doesn't mean poo poo" when the alternative is being abused or murdered.

Bruh.

Tenet is on TV right now and I'm pretty sure the suit in charge that disregarded the complaints test audiences had with the plot was Christopher Nolan.

Tenet was a movie whose creator was way too proud of how clever making the movie made him feel and undeservedly so. Which is a pity because Memento was ingenious but Nolan's been on a downwards trend basically for his entire career.

The plot of Tenet was actually relatively straightforward for something that gained a reputation for being confusing, but ultimately I feel that any confusion caused by the film was largely because of how poorly conveyed the action and dialogue was, with a dash of "no, that's not ingenious 4-dimensional thinking, it's actually just dumb if you think about it for more than a few seconds".

Does Space Jam 2 at least contain references to the upcoming D U N C?

The back and forth between Bugs and Daffy culminating in the ol' switcheroo where Bugs tricks Daffy into ripping out his own heartplug is a little gory but at least thematically consistent with the looney tunes aesthetic.

That scene of the two of them tk helicopter tugging had me laughing til tears. They both did the thing where they lifted one hand for emphasis, realized how strong the other person was, and then lifted the other hand for even more emphasis. The only thing that could have salvaged that scene was if you saw Magneto in a chest up shot with both hands extended and then one of his feet rose up from the bottom of the screen and also started straining at a helicopter.

I can see this in 80's spoof form with Leslie Nielsen as Magneto and it's glorious.

Batman and Robin's main flaw is that it didn't lean into the realm of ridiculous camp nearly hard enough. It's still not a 'good' movie, but is legit enjoyable in the right frame of mind and infinitely more watchable than Forever which was ruined by a lot of things but first and foremost by Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey kind of makes sense to me, especially with how popular he was in the 90s. Tommy Lee Jones was inexplicable thought.

His choice for the character was probably inevitable given his popularity at the time, but his performance and the direction (or lack thereof) he was given was inexcusably wretched.

Not so much a movie moment as one that's associated with movie fandom and I dunno where else to ask this.

Why does half the internet seem to be constantly on Brendan Fraser's dick?

I mean, the guy is a competent B-list actor who iirc was pretty active in the late 90's and early 2000's and who was moderately amusing in the George of the Jungle film remake, but every now and then I go on imgur and there's dozens of front-page trending images of the guy usually with some text proclaiming how fabulous the guy is and I feel like I'm missing something.

Yeah, that'd be handled loving perfectly. I'm picturing a slicker, shinier aesthetic; get some big names in there maybe The Rock and Chris Pratt; give them sexier jobs because nobody wants to watch some story about depressing homeless people day labouring! Using Google glasses as the special glasses will really help out with marketing synergy and brand messaging, and we can make the main bad guy a Trump analogue because we want to make They Live but this time it'll have a message about social issues attached to it!

It'll average 1 star on IMDb and gross three hundred million dollars more than the original.

re: divorced people getting back together in family movies.

Mrs Doubtfire is a notable exception, and both Sally Field and Robin Williams had to fight the writers/producers for this. Because whilst the filmmakers wanted to have the divorced couple end up back together as a happy ending, both Mrs Field and Mr. Williams who were divorced argued that this was not realistic, and that kids need to see stuff that shows that parents don't always end up back together.

It also teaches children that a father can stalk their ex wife and children without facing any legal repercussions. :hmmyes:

From the third time it happened each subsequent iteration got a louder and louder laugh of derision from the audience.

Also the scene in which a woman physically retaliates against a stranger who attempts to at the very least physically and very likely sexually assault her after already having also made an attempt earlier in the movie is used as the turning point that signifies her status as a villain.

I legitimately believe Prometheus is a movie where it gets better on repeat viewings. Most people seemed to really dislike it when it first came out but there’s lots of details/story beats that you’re not gonna pick up on until an 8th or 9th watch at the earliest.

Imagine being that poor at conveying the point of the movie you're directing.
