It also commits with full-heartedness to every inch of its premise whether it's the blatant religion/atheism metaphor, the wholesale "murder" of food, food murdering people, or a gigantic food orgy. There are many flawed, stupid, and awful things about that movie, but you can't say that anyone making the movie is phoning it in and that garners another level of respect. I'm more surprised that audiences are rewarding it than anything. Not because normal audiences are stupid, but rather the opposite. Everything about Sausage Party screams "For 13 year-olds only do not touch."

Everything I've heard about the inner-workings of Sausage Party has been awful, from Seth Rogen using it as a vehicle to get his friends as much easy money as possible (a la Adam Sandler), to the animators being mistreated. I wish the movie flopped from how bad a precedent it sets.

I wonder if between the success of relatively low-budget non-family films, the success of movies without the foreign market, the failure of movies that NEED the foreign market and other issues, if we'll see a resurgence in lower-budget, R-rated fare, that is more laser focused on making their product for the US if that trend can keep up. (We say that just about every year, though, when a handful of low budget films do really well vs a lot of notable flops.) As a side note, I wonder if a Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, going back to the tone of the funny Freddy era, would be a lot more acceptable now. A low-budget, fun(ny) gore horror flick with a hard R after the success of Deadpool would maybe work with modern audiences if you amped up the Freddy humor and maybe made 90% of his victims rear end in a top hat teenagers who deserve it. Freddy's a god-damned superhero.

Can you make them reliably more profitable than PG-13 movies? No? Then lay back and take it baby. Light Gun Man posted:Yes please. Again the problem is-- can you reliably prove that an R-Rated horror comedy would bring reliable box office, especially once the year-in/year-out novelty of kids dying in dream sequences wears out? Deadpool is the definition of the exception that proves the rule, and I'm still not sure where all the box office came from unless his hardcore fans are even more pathetic than I thought and paid to see it 3 times a piece or more likely theaters started slacking because young teenagers were always that movie's bread and butter.

mind the walrus posted:Can you make them reliably more profitable than PG-13 movies? No? Then lay back and take it baby. Deadpool had a lot of advertising and buzz even before hitting the theaters so that may have helped. Just like the fact that the market is saturated with hero movies, so that too may have worked in its favor. Still surprised a lot of people though. And I think an R-horror comedy, like a new Nightmare on Elm Street, could work. The studio would just need to have the right expectations for it. Probably wouldn't have a huge budget either.

Is there currently no place for B movies, because even those are deemed too risky by major studios, and the cost of accessing the market as an independent movie producer is too high, with too low returns to keep the seedy movie industry going?

Schlock of all sorts is still being made, it just can't afford distribution costs and the channels are more diverse than ever. The problem is that thanks to the rise in digital film techniques plus the legions of people looking to prove themselves worthy of the main film industry plus a general rise in self-awareness in film culture across the board equals a lot less of the entertaining low-rent schlock of the 60s-90s and there's a lot less incentive to put up with it because there are literally hundreds of other options one click away. Even weird Z-rent fare like Birdemic or crazy anomalies like The Room don't grow in that soil.

On the other hand the original Nightmare on Elm Street movies weren't exactly runaway box office successes anyway. They've never been shooting for the tentpole megabucks, they were only ever expected to do moderate business in their initial theater run but then go on to regularly bring in a decent amount of $$$ in the home video and TV licencing after markets in the following years.

As others have said, do check out Netflix or Amazon. Same goes if you're looking for some D-to-V action flicks. Sometimes you even find one that is legitimately surprising, like Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning, which also functions as a decent horror movie. And I can't help but think the emphasis on big tentpole pictures hurts the range of movies that can be made or at least limits the scope of theatrical release for some genres.

Is there a modern actor who isn't Englund that could be acceptable to audiences as a return to the Englund Freddy style? Someone whose career wouldn't be hurt by becoming a cartoonish murderer (which thanks the Marvel and DC movies, doesn't seem to be as big an issue anymore.) I know a complaint I heard of someone who watched the 2010 remake was that Freddy wasn't 'fun', which to them was a large part of how the character had evolved in their previous incarnation. I'm sort of racking my brain right now for someone who might be able to be name enough, pull off the humor and the scares. At this point I'm sort of thinking "What is Matt Smith up to these days?"

Very true, it's just that the game is different now. To be the same kind-of wide release might not be the best route. It's the new "HBO miniseries" to say "Netflix" but I do think that might be a good compromise as that's where almost all the low to mid-tier budget stuff is going these days. JediTalentAgent posted:I'm sort of racking my brain right now for someone who might be able to be name enough, pull off the humor and the scares.

That puts me in-mind of an idea-- every new Nightmare should have a different Freddy relative to the cast and location of the new movie. They can still do sequel-interlock and maybe even put in a new "Prime Freddy" coaching them, but it really helps vary up the formula and give a potential new hook to each installment (black Freddy, lady Freddy, gay Freddy, foreign Freddy, team-ups of survivors and Freddys).

If Hollywood is taking suggestions for remakes or reinterpretations, I'd like to see a live action Howl's Moving Castle that's closer to the book. It would actually be a role Benderdick Cumbersnatch would be good for and Hollywood loves casting him for stuff.

mind the walrus posted:Matt Smith is a good outside choice. I still sort of think Nightmare could work reimagined as a sort of series of miniseries, all separated by a pop culture era, sort of incorporate the idea of the curse of Kruger going back generations for a town. We see how the town and the teens change over the years, Freddy keeping up wit them. Which would probably work well on something like Netflix. You get something set in the mid 80s. Another one in early 90s. Another set in the later 90s. Early 00s, mid 00s, etc. The idea that Freddy is a boogieman that has an explosion of activity for short windows of time every few years, and then most kids only grow to remember him as a legend, the nursery rhyme chant becoming a half-remembered childhood urban legend for each era of teenager. The deaths are forgotten as a new batches of high school kids grow up to forget the events of 4-6 years earlier, and others live to repeat the cycle. You could even eventually have previous generations of Freddy survivors coming back in later series to try to help current targets and figure out why/how Freddy keeps coming back. It could give them room to be period piece shows, shows about each generation and pop culture of the time, and a horror show.

You could do Nightmare on Elm Street as an anthology series, as well. Every town in America has a drat Elm Street. The weird nightmare realm exists, teens exist to be killed and you can have a parade of freaks tied together by the otherworld and common theme. Let different directors do their takes on the setting without diluting the main property too much if they blow it. Involve Freddy in some or all of the films as either a chance encounter, side plot, a rival of the movie's monster trying to poach kills, a quickly seen cameo creeping in the dark, or maybe even a helping hand with his own inscrutable motives. (Likely involving giving the heroes objects to fight the monster, which the kids can take out of their dreams with them so that they act as a homing beacon for Freddy) Give Freddy his own dedicated outing every once in a while, remembering to drop in little nods to the side films to tie the whole thing together.

Wasn't the Freddy's Nightmares TV show just using Freddy as a Cryptkeeper-like bookend to the episodes back in the early 90s/late 80s? I think he was actually maybe only a noted involved character in a few episodes. Then we had Nightmare Cafe, which I guess would be what Freddy Krueger would do if he were Q and decided to gently caress around in a desert diner or something. edit: Wow, Nightmare Cafe actually has some interesting guest stars for a short lived show in the early 90s: Carrie-Anne Moss, Joan Chen, Angela Bassett.
