The surprise Will Ferrel/Kristen Wiig Lifetime movie wasn't nearly as good as the actual idea of a surprise Will Ferrel/Kristen Wiig Lifetime movie, I'm not sure if I like Lifetime's new direction of trying to be campy and so-bad-it's-good on purpose.

Tars Tarkas posted:There are two competing Jungle Books, I got confused trying to keep track of them because I just don't care. I think one had a trailer when I saw Star Wars Growing up the video store had like a zillion Jungle Book movies because apparently every southeast asian country with an animal trainer made one, it's weird to see that be a thing again.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I knew all faith in humanity was lost when I saw The Force Awakens in a sold out theater and most of the theater laughed and cheered at the hummed version of The Bare Necessities at the end of the Jungle Book trailer. Agreed, this new trend is very upsetting.

The original Jungle Book isn't even that great in terms of the classic Disney cartoons made while Walt was still alive, it's like one or two good musical numbers and a bunch of padding and dated pop culture references. The best part of it was the character of Baloo and even then they spent the next 30 years recycling his character and voice.

When I saw Star Wars the Zootopia teaser trailer with the sloths played and the crowd went nuts for it so I think the people expecting it to be a flop don't need to worry.

I'm always happy to have more J.K. Simmons in my life but I still kind of wish Mads Mikkelsen was voicing the villain, if only out of morbid curiosity.

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 pacing is terrible, the tone is all over the place, and the puppetry is almost George Lucas levels of self-indulgent technical innovation over actual storytelling. If you want to love it for camp or irony or nostalgia or whatever go right ahead but don't pretend like it's some flawless ziggurat that is impossible to criticize or dislike.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:yeah i was actually just about to say, i'll bite: when you say "the tone is all over the place" about Labyrinth, what exactly do you mean? Because for every scene of genuine peril or loss you have scenes that are a protracted fart joke or yet another bunch of muppets frolicking. Mirrormask wasn't a great movie but it did a much better job being a weird goofy fantasy movie that managed to actually keep up a sense of conflict.

wyoming posted:Is this like the videos that cut together all the production company logos? I'm glad I'm not the only one who randomly stumbled on these one day. People not just uploading production company logos but cutting them together in different orders to make their dream production company rollout for made-up TV shows and movies  Which leads to the Closing Logos Group Wiki and its sister site dedicated to made-up logos for imaginary companies, it's a really deep well.

Maxwell Lord posted:While the Hitchhiker's movie has issues as an adaptation and is dumbed down a bit, I honestly like it a lot. It has a nice charm of its own, surprisingly good visuals (I especially love the Magrathean reception area which is all dinky 70s-era models, in contrast to the breathtaking factory floor), and Trillian gets some good development. Plus it had an actual ending, which is one thing it has on the source material.

Surlaw posted:I haven't seen the original and don't care about whatever weird drama people complained about when it was released. I really liked this trailer. The original movie was good and popular but the Internet has a weird grudge aainst it because they spent a year doing the modern equivalent of Ralphie playing with his decoder ring. That and it's really easy to give it CinemaSins style "criticism" like the characters not being cold rational actors or the giant monster being unrealistic.

"A real estate developer wants to make condos in the Arctic so a polar bear goes to NYC to protest it and ends up becoming the mascot for the company because people think he's a man in a suit" is just dumb, especially because it requires you to believe that people would build condos in the goddamn Arctic.

IShallRiseAgain posted:I love how Daniel Radcliffe desperately tries to flee away from just being the actor who played Harry Potter by taking weird/gross roles, but now he is basically known as the actor who plays weird/gross roles to escape from his Harry Potter role. (I'm sure a lot of people also still just see him as Harry Potter) I dunno, if you listen to literally any interview with him he's more like Elijah Wood in that being the lead of an obscenely successful film franchise means that they never need to work a day in their life and instead pick roles that appeal to them or seem interesting.

rakovsky maybe posted:Your personal biases don't equal facts, unfortunately. Avatar was a frustrating movie for nerds so they have a vested interest in downplaying its cultural status. There's a mountain in China named after the film. Palestinian protestors dressed up like the characters. There were multiple parodies and skits referencing it on comedy shows. It was only one film so hasn't gained the presence of the bloated Star Wars, Terminator, and Alien franchises. I'd be willing to bet more young people know Avatar over the latter two series though. But there is no expanded universe or limited edition toys or Teefury shirts mashing up Avatar with Dr Who or The Big Lebowski so nobody cares, obviously
