Sin City 2 looked and felt like a studio gave Rodriguez half the budget, half the star power and half the time to make a sequel.

According to Wikipedia, it has a $65m budget compared to Sin City 1's $40m budget. Inflation can't account for that much, can it?

I'll say it again, but Eva Green deserves better scripts and movies to be in. Especially noir, like goddamn.

The first 3 movies were kinda poo poo, before the 4th one it was only remembered in the context of mockery.

I thought Fast Five was the movie that actually legitimized the franchise as a legit good action movie franchise? Coincidentally, that was also the first F&F movie with Dwayne Johnson in it.

Batman has a mostly-ironclad no-kill rule that I think both the fans and DC would revolt against Snyder for breaking, and Superman isn't exactly known to gib people when he fights them. Are they just gonna make the existing PG-13-level fight scenes more bloody, AVP Unrated style?

Everything I've seen that he's made has been ridiculously wonderful to look at, including Immortals. I'm not sure if that's his direction or if he has a great DP that he always works with, but I'll still watch whatever weird boring story he puts out. Granted I've skipped that dumb looking Ryan Reynolds/Ben Kingsley movie because I don't think contemporary focused Tarsem is something I want to subject myself to, but The Cell, The Fall, Immortals, and Mirror Mirror were all interesting enough visually to make them worth watching. The stories were all garbage (except Vinnie D in The Cell of course) but there's always something interesting to look at if you wait a few minutes. I'm assuming my thoughts on his work aren't novel at all though.

I credit a lot of his aesthetics to the work of Eiko Ishioka. She was for sure pulling a lot of the weight on The Fall, which also took a lot of inspiration from Ron Fricke (watch Baraka and Samsara if you haven't), so it was like the fusion of these really great visual artists.

I remember in an earlier thread that also tangented on Victor Salva, someone linked to Clownhouse, which you can apparently watch on Youtube.

Edit: That's a terrible snype, so here's a quote about the live action Tick from Netflix:

quote:

We’ve got this show about superheroes [where] we get to have fun with the idea of superheroes by starting with kind of a comedic parody of [an] event-oriented-like universe. It will be darker and more grounded. And it’s going to have a real story, a real hero’s myth. We’re the ones that get to have fun with it and that’s kind of the situation where right now that’s an open field in this area of entertainment.

About a page late to the talk show chat, but I have a question that's bugged me for years, and I need an answer that only an American can supply: why does the audience laugh after every line in your talk shows? Are the audiences unusually stupid and happy? Is it a laugh track added later? Is it culturally unacceptable for any phrase not to be met with applause? Help a Southern Hemispheran person out please.

Someone posted this in another thread, and I was actually kinda disturbed by how uproarious the laughter was.

does Penn Jillette even do comedy/magic shows anymore, or does he just lecture people about the benefits of libertarianism? Free speech is all very well and good, but if somebody's job is to make people laugh, and the audience spends more time booing and complaining than laughing, I don't really see how that's society's fault. Just saying.

He does both, in that the magic show incorporates some of the libertarianism. There was a whole spiel about the Constitution, and I'm struggling to remember what the actual magic was because the libertarianism was that distracting.

Edit: I remember the "catching the bullet in the teeth" trick had a bit of 2nd Amendment stuff in front of it, but it was less distracting because it's a fun trick.
