Young Freud posted:I hate to say this, but I was turned on (no pun intended) to this fact when I was watching a relatively-recent porno and they shot some of the photo model prologue bits with a drone: there was a couple high angle shots of the pornstar lounging at the pool and I was wondering if they actually got a crane or a helicopter until I saw the shadow of a quadrotor hovering at the edge of the frame.

muscles like this? posted:Speaking of Ice Cube, been seeing a lot of commercials for Ride Along 2 and man, he comes off as just an awful person in it. His entire part seems to be just him scowling and insulting Kevin Hart in some way. My dad and brother rented Ride Along, I fell asleep and didn't feel like I missed much

i like Jennifer Connelly and Muppets. I can easily enjoy it as a product of its time. I saw The Dark Crystal later and found it kind of disappointing.

I guess there's an unofficial rule that you can tell how many issues a girl has by how into Labyrinth she is. This started a pretty massive debate in GBS one time with the cat ladies throwing a fit about how this joke was incredibly sexist. Anyway liking the movie puts me in some pretty strange company.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Labyrinth has great creature/set design and fantastic work from the Henson workshop, and a David Bowie soundtrack, and it's fun. all around a dope movie. The only effects that don't really hold up are the Fire Gang, and the owl. I went back and looked and the owl honestly doesn't look too bad for CGI from a movie that came out 2 years before I was born. The Fire Gang on the other hand uses a not very convincing green screen. If they'd managed to set the scene a little bit better and cleaned it up a little bit more it could have been a non-issue. I like Return to Oz too. It's probably the Henson touch. Neverending Story and its sequels always looked like garbage to me. Casimir Radon fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Jan 13, 2016 |

I think 90s cartoons are a bit better. Most of them seemed to at least attempt not to be blatant toy commercials all the time.

Now if they were doing it with movies that were actual contemporaries of the main feature that would make sense, it would still be dumb, but it would make sense.

The Golden Compass is particularly unfortunate as it already ends on a cliffhanger, and then the filmmakers decided not to even go that far, though they had filmed it. A really great cast got squandered on the aborted attempt. It would be interesting to see how the controversy would have played out roughly 10 years later with everyone social media. Most of the negative stuff circulating about the film last time was passed around in chain emails. The political climate in the US has also gotten even more divisive.

resurgam40 posted:For those of you who've seen it, how political is it really? Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum (as well as Reince Preibus) advertised for it during the recent debates, so you would think it took a hardcore anti Hillary stand, but... it doesn't seem to me that Michael Bay takes stands of that nature in his movies. Oh sure, the American Flag is prominently portrayed in most of his movies, as well as a healthy dose of what a lot of people interpret as "ARE TROOPS" military worship, but truth be told it doesn't seem to me to go much deeper than the quickest route available to big guys with big guns swearing and shooting each other whilst things explode. The most political I've ever seen Bay get is with Pain & Gain, and that not very. It's not some right wing screed, but it's a controversial topic not well served by Bay's typical smashing-action-figures-together mentality, and shouldn't have been made.

Now You See Me sounds incredibly stupid having read the synopsis. On the other hand it doesn't seem so bad that I wouldn't watch it all the way through. I suppose that's something.

greatn posted:It's a movie you go to cause the thing you wanted to see was sold out, and you don't hate it, but immediately forget it and don't really enjoy. The only time I've ever shown up to a theater and the movie was sold out was when my mom wanted to see A Walk in the Woods, which seems pretty bizarre. The girl working the booth said Pixels was about to start and we could watch that, we went a did something else instead.

Chairman Capone posted:I love that Ready Player One was awarded the Prometheus Award for best libertarian sci-fi novel of 2012. Sure, the novel depicts the world being completely hosed over by corporations run amok who've used privatization and deregulation to essentially bring back slavery and plummeted the standard of living to Zimbabwe levels... but... at least there's no government!

People act like him suing his brother was a totally awful thing to do. Now even of I had a weak shtick like his, I'd be pretty pissed off if my deadbeat brother decided to all but impersonate me. If he's forced to sponge off Gallagher's talent it doesn't exactly speak highly of him.

Cage's last big role was in Left Behind a couple years ago, which didn't do very well. He's been in a bunch of movies nobody has seen, likely to pay off his debts. Is this what the rest if his career looks like?
