I never knew the name Victor Surge before this thread but I think it can be cool that a bunch of people on the Internet can be riffing back and forth on a new creepypasta idea but uncool when a major corporation wants to monetize it for themselves and not give anybody credit.

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.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Is the Uncharted movie supposed to be coming out this year? Cause I just started watching TinTin and holy poo poo no one could hope to make a better Uncharted than this. Funny you say that because there are quite a few Uncharted moments, not just in Uncharted itself but imitators, that make me think of that mobile command lab RV thing hanging over the cliff in Lost World. Which is obviously another Spielberg movie. Not to mention all of Indiana Jones.

I'm not sure what exactly didn't feel right to me about Tin Tin's action. It's all very inventive and complex with how Tintin's, Haddock's, and the dog's different paths intertwine but it feels like watching a good Rube Goldberg machine rather than an action scene. Rewatching the falcon chase scene now, maybe because it's so fluid or because there are dangers and barriers that are presented and passed so quickly. Or even in hindsight, literally, like how the camera is looking away from the direction of movement as the dog and Haddock fit through the narrow windows. We don't see how they're threatened or challenged until they're already in the clear, like walking down a sidewalk and hearing a flowerpot crash on the spot you had just been under. Contrast that part with Spider-Man 2 during the subway fight where Ock flings him away and we see that Spider-Man's about to hit the pedestrian bridge (with an added bit of "look behind you!" excitement because we know it before Spider-Man does) but then he spins and contorts just in time. Kinda related to that is at times it's too cartoony? Yes it's animated but it seems like the characters are casually invincible like Mr. Magoo. The main wow moment from that whole chase seems to be using the handlebar and front wheel of the motorcycle to zipline down the laundry line but the danger of the motorcycle going off the building and into the air is not given much time to be presented as a threat before the motorcycle thankfully breaks apart completely and conveniently into a piece that Tintin uses to zipline and it would all be an insanely impressive stunt if it were real but it's all so fast and effortless that I feel no real tension.

I don't really buy the comparison with westerns. Not only were they a certain genre but they also had a particular setting and era and technology, etc. When people are talking about the superhero trend or bubble nowadays they're really only referring to Marvel and DC dominance. But those characters can make for all kinds of different movies. And not only have we had comic book movies for far longer than the post-X-Men era, we've had movies about characters with superhuman abilities for even longer than that.

Alvarez IV posted:Whenever someone brings up the superheroes as Westerns comparison, I ask how many independent studios can go out and shoot their own Batman movies to light a fire under the bloated tentpole asses of the world. Superheroes are tied with intellectual properties in a way that negates any that aren't preexisting as illegitimate in the eyes of the buying public. The only successful modern exception (unless you want to go obtusely broad and say that Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker and all the Campbell protagonists are superheroes like a pedant) is The Incredibles, which was successful on the backs of being a Disney/Pixar film. Dreamworks tried making The Incredibles years later and you got Megamind and everyone knew it was cut-rate before they saw it which is why it... gently caress, it didn't lose money, but I think my argument still holds up that you can't really proliferate the superhero genre without writing a check for beaucoup dollars unless you want to go shoot Nigerian Batman, which we should be so blessed as to have. How much is beaucoup? Chronicle was made for $12M and Lucy was made for $40M and they both earned it back tenfold.

Fallon has several strengths that make the show work overall but those strengths do not include holding a conversation with someone, let alone interviewing them. Unless they're a very good friend of his. It's to the show's credit that they spend less time on monologuing and guests and more on games and segments.

Guy Mann posted:Yeah I was gonna say it's kind of blowing my mind that there are still enough people under 60 watching late night talkshows to have hierarchies of them to discuss on the internet. Like the monologues have always sucked but now that we have Twitter there to make all the lazy obvious jokes on current events as soon as they happen it's especially irrelevant and any actually interesting sketch or interview winds up on YouTube as soon as it airs, I do t think I've watched any actual full episode of a late night show in it's entirety since the Bush administration. The audience is potentially a lot bigger now with timeshifting and PVRs. They were never actually filmed during late night and now aren't necessarily watched late at night.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Jay Leno used to do sketches I loved as a kid, like one where he was a crazy floating head and one where he was a body builder in a fun house mirror. Or one where he was a Zorro type character, Jayro, whose father always lambasted him at the end of the sketch saying "Why can't you be more like Jayro? I wish I had a brave son" and then Jay would shed a single tear. Past a certain point he just completely stopped doing that type of thing for some reason. Probably "I'm getting too old for this skit".

muscles like this! posted:So despite not being advertised as such it turns out the Netflix animated Godzilla movie is just the first part. Hm, good to know. Maybe I'll wait until at least one more part is out. Al Borland Corp. posted:Power Rangers wasn't bad, but would have been better if they weren't ashamed they were making a power rangers movie. Might have done better if all the Power Rangers action wasn't all squished into the end of the movie. They first put on the suits and first use the Zords and first combine into Megazord all within the same battle. There's so much drat time spent on making them worthy and training. The movie is two hours. By contrast, I started watching the Netflix Voltron series last year and two hours could be the equivalent of the first six episodes, which features intros and backstory for all the team members, intros and training for their suits and weapons, time spent in their mechs, forming Voltron multiple times (and with early focus on them learning to be a team in order to form Voltron voluntarily) and multiple monsters tied to a bigger, central villain.

Wheat Loaf posted:I read recently that it's now Hollywood's longest-running action movie series that's never been rebooted or gone on an inordinately long hiatus (though that's because 4-5 years is a normal sequel gap for this series). So not Bond, Fast & Furious, Star Wars, Godzilla, Indiana Jones, Spider-Man, Batman... Has to exclude a lot of stuff that isn't "action" or franchises that have more instalments but started later. I wonder if it's the same as "most successful action franchise continuously headlined by the same actor".

Yeah, Fast and Furious is beaten because it started later (yet has more movies). I don't know whether F&F was ever rebooted, though. At the time it seemed like that maybe, with Tokyo Drift, but with Dom's cameo and then Han's inclusion in later movies and then with the retcon of Shaw's involvement Tokyo Drift has been woven ever tighter into the continuity of the franchise so it's not really a reboot now if it ever was before. And the concept of the movie is far closer to the first one than any other movie in the series.
