Wasn't the Hays' Code responsible for how popular Western movies and TV shows were? I thought I'd read that somewhere, since part of the Code dictated that the law was to be upheld, and since Westerns, due to the time period, had looser interpretations of exactly how the law would be upheld (i.e., they could just shoot the bastard, instead of having him arrested).

joylessdivision posted:I hadn't heard about Westerns but the Hay's code absolutely why we have the Noir genre as it is. You can't show graphic violence or talk about sex openly so we got bitching shadow deaths and innuendo. I could very well be wrong about that. I don't even remember where I picked that up at; I could have just read the Code dictated following the law and just extrapolated from there. But, I doubt that; I'm not sharp enough for that kind of thing.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:There's a shitload more smaller superhero films on their way, Wikipedia's list of upcoming American superhero films shows that there's at least 60 films currently in some stage of production. Many of them probably won't get made but you can bet that a lot of them will, even if they end up being direct-to-DVD or VOD. A loving Turok movie is coming out? Holy poo poo. I hope they take inspiration from The Mummy (Brendan Fraser version) and the first two games. They could do some wild poo poo with that.

Snowman_McK posted:I missed it. My girlfriend was in the room, doing something else (assembling a puzzle, if you must know, because we are the oldest 31 year olds in existence) and she listened, not watched, and came to the conclusion. And, as I watched with that in mind, shot choices and details started to cast the film in a very different light. I was telling a friend about that movie, after throwing it on one night, but I felt that jingoistic was a very apt description. Especially the scene where the British special forces guys are going to attack some bad guys, and Butler's all, "Not without me! I'm American, and you tossers can't do this without my massive red, white, and blue balls!"

I think a FNAF movie could be really good. It's a basic concept, but one I think a lot of people can get behind; who hasn't looked at a lovely animatronic or mascot outfit and felt a slight unease about it (besides all of you already mentally prepping a response about how it never spooked you)? The games definitely blew up in a way that nobody really expected, and the creator capitalized on that, but I think he did pretty good for himself. There's some creepy stuff in the backstory, definitely enough that Blumhouse and Columbus can craft a scary movie out of it.

I'd almost say the Bayformer movies are about the spectacle. They're big and loud, like July 4th fireworks; people go see them every year and ooh and aah over them, but later on, realize they've seen it before and it's not quite as exciting as it was at the time.

What if they did the next Jumanji as an action game, in the vein of Devil May Cry or a Platinum title? I think it'd be an excellent excuse for ridiculous amounts of high style action.

If the Doom movie could be John Wick level action sequences with demonic hordes and a plot to kill the biggest demon to close the gate, I think that'd be perfectly fine. Give us some exposition in the vein of simple explanations as to what experiments are being run, how they went wrong, but encased in blood soaked battles.

In the concept art for the game SOMA, for instance, there's inserts with cropped pictures of the skin of drowned people or lacerations, for reference. The designers for Dead Space looked up pictures of burn victims to help design the Necromorphs. It's a pretty effective tactic, since they are some horrible looking bastards.

For all their faults, I thought that the Star Wars books had the scale of a galaxy down really well. In the books, the weeks long journeys through hyperspace are mentioned, as well as the sheer amount of planets that would be contained within an entire galaxy. The population is mentioned to be within the trillions, too, and the Republic has trouble getting to every planet within their jurisdiction, due solely to the sheer size of it all.

https://screenrant.com/star-wars-spinoffs-obi-wan-characters/ From what I've read here, and like had been recently discussed, Star Wars might be getting more character spin off movies. Obi-Wan, I can see; Boba Fett, why not? Yoda? Sure, why not, let's have a movie about him on Dagobah, maybe about conquering his darkness in that spooky cave. But loving Jabba the Hutt? Who would give a poo poo about that? Why would you? Jabba is a supporting character, at best. I get that they'll make tons of money from Star Wars, but they've gotta learn how to calm the gently caress down on the movies.

8one6 posted:After the first Jurassic World came out I tried to figure out the logistics of war raptors and even if you pretend they would only cost as much as a dog to train they still don't make any sense compared to just mounting guns on tracked drones. Raptors would be expensive to feed, cost about as much as a human soldier to armor, and I can't believe that they would be cheap to buy in the first place. As a psychological tactic, a loving dinosaur would be a pretty strong route to go. Taking cover from a hovering machine of death is one thing, but having to try and hide from a creature that's intelligent, vicious, and trained to seek out your blood is another. Getting something that's thinking and feeling to hunt you is going to be more intimidating than a cold machine that won't eat your flesh afterward. I guess. I don't know why I'm trying to develop a justification here.

I think an anthology series set like the Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Tales of Jabba's Palace, etc., could be really good stuff. Let different people explore the Star Wars universe, through different characters, situations, all the different walks of life; this episode is about a Gand hunting an Aqualish serial killer, this one is about the political intrigue of Corellian ambassadors trying to prevent civil war, this one is a procedural on Coruscant. There are unlimited stories and planets you could use for Star Wars stories; why limit yourself to war and rebellions, when there are ten thousand other things you can do?

feedmyleg posted:That's exactly what Clone Wars is. It's an anthology of tales that take place during the titular wars that follow different stories, different characters, different tones and scopes, different aspects of the conflict from all levels. Each 1-3 episodes is exactly what you're describing, it just has the connnective tissue of the Clone Wars rather than Star Wars as a whole. I thought that one was about Anakin and Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars. I watched some of it, and I remember different Jedi being featured prominently, but that was a few years ago, so I might be misremembering. That show is streaming on Netflix, right? I might check it out again, because that sounds good to me.
