Blade_of_tyshalle posted:For a Captain America film, it totally did. For an Avengers film, it didn't. The problem came from them labelling an Avengers spin off as a Captain America film, so it occupies this weird middle between them. Yeah, the fact that they pretended the 3rd Avengers movie was the 3rd Captain America was a real lousy bait-and-switch.

The MSJ posted:I guess making the Monster Truck monster a fanged placenta is probably not going to appeal to children. I really wish Jumanji 2 wasnt so thin. If there was a bit more plot and emotional content like the original, they couldve added another couple setpieces to stretch it to 2 hours and we'd be given more cool Rock scenes. The villain being a cardboard cutout was a missed opportunity. What if he'd been a prior player that got stuck in the game?

I saw the panel for Sky Captain at the San Diego Comic Con, and one thing that stuck out was how goddamn socially awkward the director was. It doesn't surprise me that he sucks at networking.

I really should have tried to keep in touch more, I'm not very good at networking." It was kind of sad but really honest. I found this write-up from a couple of years ago. Illustrative excerpt: quote:“Kerry and I were so intimidated we went and sat at a separate table. We didn’t know what to do! They all turned around, almost en masse, and were like, ‘What are you idiots doing over there? Get over here!’ Then I’m sitting next to Robert Zemeckis.” It also talks a lot about how Sky Captain broke a lot of ground for the use of digital backlots which are now used on every big tentpole movie. It was interesting to note that the Conran brothers were sure they could make the movie on a budget of $3-4 million, which is probably unrealistic (that probably wouldn't have paid for the cast they got) but if it had been a $20 million budgeted movie and made the same amount (about $50 million), even that would've been a different story. Another extract from that article says: quote:As much as the big budget movies have taken the techniques the Conrans developed, still very few people have really done what they set out to do: eradicate the need for giant budgets on fantasy films. Their plan was not to make things better for James Cameron or George Lucas, it was to give opportunity to the guys nobody had heard of – guys like them – and to have moviemaking be restricted only by your imagination not your bank balance.

Kind of disappointed that Villeneuve is doing Cleopatra. I thought he was doing Dune next? I remember something recently with him even passing on the next Bond film specifically for Dune. Guess the curse of the Dune remake strikes again. Is the movie supposed to be based on the Stacy Schiff biography of Cleopatra from a few years ago? Since adapting movies from nonfiction books is in now, and the producer was talking about having it be a "woman's perspective."

I can't believe it took me so long to figure out why Villaneuve's films look so loving good: Roger Deakins is his DP. That guy can turn even crap like Skyfall into something amazing to watch.

They're poo poo at creating art, but complete geniuses when it comes to networking.

Like half the shots are from like a heavy metal music video of just maggots and people's heads vibrating. Where is Slenderman's suit and tie  Did the guy who originally do the photoshops on this forum get a say in any of this or is Slenderman totally out of his hands now as far as rights goes

Al Borland Corp. posted:Don't studios just claim whatever they want ran at a loss? Creative accounting / fuzzy math can be done to cover up a lot of things and dodge revenue sharing. Lucasfilm claimed for years that Return of the Jedi never turned a profit, Nia Vardalos got hosed by the studio that did My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and WB accidentally had an infamous budget sheet leaked that said one of the Harry Potter movies--the fifth, I think?--lost like $300 million despite making nearly a billion dollars before ancillary revenue. Another infamous example is WB claiming a huge loss on Superman Returns, because they tacked on the ~$50 million from the past decade and a half of aborted Superman movie attempts. Paramount used similar fuzzy math to remove Gene Roddenberry from control of the Star Trek movies, claiming The Motion Picture cost $45 million because they factored the previous three attempts at movies, plus the aborted Phase II series that was literally like two weeks away from production before the Paramount network attempt was canceled, into the final numbers.

Can't say I have any interest in a Cleopatra movie, but at least Villeneuve has a habit of making GBS threads out amazing movies really quickly, so I'll just wait along for the next one if that doesn't change.

I would agree but it's kind of too late for that. Victor Surge would've had to litigate against the smaller projects, is my understanding, because copyright is hosed. I also believe Victor Surge has admitted that the lore, as it were, is significantly transformed from his original art, and that he's only a small part of what slenderman is.

Might be too late to legally be forced to give someone credit but never too late to give someone their due willingly. Anyway, I think the real reason goons might care about Victor Surge (important to repeat that name because it's a cool rear end name, he clearly is evil and has command of electricity) is that he is/was one of our own and maybe most goons harbour this idea that some joke or idea they post on the forums could actually be worth something one day.

Since I made the comment about goons caring about VS's IP, I believe he once owned some form of copyright. He successfully was able to prevent a few projects from getting off the ground back in the day (a kickstarter film for example). However, at some point something changed. Mythology Entertainment (iirc) is the current media rights holder in Slenderman, but who they bought it from I don't know.
