Together I'd say they're probably the single most evocative demonstration of childhood in all of cinema, regarding the interplay of nurture+authority

lol that shits retarded, the first five minutes of where the wild things are is a million times more evocative

just like gits because gits was a solid movie all in all.....stylish & memorable. hopefully this will be more faithful (gits only used iconic imagery from the og gits movie w/o the good context that made it work) gits is ghost in the shell btw. also alita is only really a manga so theres less to brazenly rob

The cynicism is entirely on the side of those who use your childhood associations to sell you flavor water.

a setting is a setting. if people just liked it because it has 80s references they wouldnt reference the plot nearly as much when talking about it. think about what people say when they reference the show in conversation: they talk about the upside-down, or eleven, or the christmas lights or the sheriff. they usually dont talk about how 80s it is, because the only way its 80s is in its setting

and your comparison is disingenuous as flavor water costs a buck a bottle and stranger things is part of an ubiquitous package subscription at no additional cost. its like if buying one bottle of water let you drink everything else in the cooler too

also producers being greedy has sometimes had a positive effect on shows with large budgets because producers like to gamble and hiring true believer artist directors is a big gamble with potentially huge payout. one pitfall is that sometimes true believers are not artists and direct awful garbage like heroes that fails horribly and has to be micromanaged to eke out a profit before completely falling apart

Aww, man. This is the movie people were guessing was an adaptation of the Grant Morrison comic, Nameless.
Compare the symbol in the movie (which Gunn had previously posted as a teaser) to this one in the comic:


Actually, in looking up Nameless, I found this interview with Morrison and Gunn in the lead-up to the comic where they talk about possibly adapting We3 (another GM comic.)
https://comicbook.com/2014/10/14/grant-morrison-and-james-gunn-discuss-nameless-and-a-possible-we/
So maybe it's still be a stealth Nameless thing.
In the comic, the symbol was a rune on an evil satan asteroid that turned people crazy and homicidal. The kid could have a chunk of it as a stand-in for kryptonite or some poo poo.

i'm adding that to the list of "authors/estates with bad opinions about adaptations". it's called the Roald Dahl Has Terrible Taste list because he hated the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka movie so much that his estate forced that godawful Tim Burton/Johnny Depp one upon all of us.

but there are plenty of other authors on the list too. Stephen King for not liking The Shining, the Tolkein estate for being annoyed with the Peter Jackson trilogy, etc etc.

fwiw the gdt hellboy movies are not faithful to the character at all outside of surface details, hellboy is more of an experienced and well schooled witcher than precocious new york cop

I can qualify it by saying the scariest part of horror movies for me is the fear of the unknown. I have no idea why these people are being stalked by themselves or what motivations the entity portraying themselves might have but the fact that it IS themselves is inherently less scary because of it.

I loved Get Out and will watch this. I'm just saying that the premise looks less scary because how scared should one be about themselves? Maybe they'll work out why that is MORE scary? Because it knows what you're thinking or whatever? I could get behind that but on first watch Bad Me is not topping any of my Most Terrifying lists.

you just said “dumb premise” before but i guess u saw bird box between then and now and finally found a perspective u think isnt fatuous. but it is

Vice is shallow, incoherent, and maddeningly glib; the topic (and the deceased) deserve a better effort if one is to be made at all. To claim that it's somehow representative of competent satire is disingenuous, at best. gently caress that movie and the people who shill for it for no other reason than to gain internet prestige.
