As cool as Godzilla looks, what, uh, is the premise of the movie? As far as I can tell it's like, semi-apocalyptic, and somehow these megamonsters can stop that from happening somehow?

"BIG MONSTERS FIGHT!"

if you want more detail uhhh Big dragon gets out of ice thanks to global warming, destroys the earth, humans free the other monsters to fight it. That's my guess anyway.

Marilyn Manson already made Satanism cool decades ago.


This has the potential to be really good or insufferably bad, but I'm leaning towards the latter considering the film will likely end with the justification of neoliberalism knowing Hollywood.

considering one of the main characters is a chicken poo poo leftie MILLENIAL :argh: I'm surprised you think it has potential to be good.

I'm also down for Joker, as long as they stick with the idea that it's only tenuously a comic book movie. Also that trailer someone posted for King of Comedy is such a swerve to the actual movie holy moly.

I wish I enjoyed fighting games cause Nether Realms has been going full ham with all of their games the past few years and it looks so fun but I feel like I can't really experience any of it cause you need to memorize ridiculous combos to do anything cool.

just play on easy, aside from the Shao Khan fight in 9 they're pretty quick to get through once you can remember a few specials

Lol, Mike Flanagan recreated those scenes. They aren't even from the original film.

You're not really refuting his point. Even if they're recreations the shots from the shining definitely have a different look than the rest of the movie.

Vagabundo posted:

Are they, though? The box office returns say otherwise. In 2017, 3 of the top 5 top grossing films at the US box office for the year were Superhero films (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about. Or are we including films such as Oldboy, Road to Perdition, Blue is the Warmest Colour, etc?). In 2018, it was 4 of the top 5 spots. In 2019, it's been 3 out of 5 again.

The "people" you're referring to are, in all likelihood, a vocal minority projecting their views on everyone else and passing off their opinion as fact. For all this talk of "superhero fatigue," where's the actual evidence?

"I'M loving SICK OF THESE COMIC BOOK MOVIES"--critic
"why do people hate this movie???"
"because they're sick of comic book movies"

The MSJ posted:

The actual superhero fatigue is among media commentators, be them critics or people who make jokes about movies. Even complaining about superhero movies is tired now. The general audience just watches them the same as always.

What I'm interested to see is how the disconnect between these people develop. Used to be it was "the general audience loves braindead movies critics hate", then it's "the general audience loves these popular movies critics love", soon it might be "critics and audience love these braindead movies".

I think it's probably when you have to watch movies as your job you get sick of seeing the same poo poo over and over whereas if you're a consumer you can just not go to see it. Also, critics already like braindead movies, as long as they are pretentious and braindead instead of simple and braindead.
