Yeah, it's not a go to the theater movie, but I'll definitely watch it when it's released to video.

It's the definition of a theater movie though?

I only go to the theater to watch big dumb spectacle movies nowadays, the quiet and introspective films are the ones that personally I wait to watch at home.

My thing is you get too comfortable. You're too relaxed to pay perfect attention. I like the middle ground. Nice seats, but not reclining. I'm more focused on the movie.

Also I get super indecisive about how I want to sit so I keep adjusting it, and I can't imagine it's not annoying to the person next to you.

No kidding.

The Venom reveal looked so awful, the voice sounds super corny... I feel like it should be more raspy and almost Darkness Mike Patton-esque, and Tom Hardy sounds like he has has downs syndrome.

I'd heard Gangster Squad was good. (Haven't seen it even though I like gangster movies.)

Maybe good if you just want a stupid movie set in the 1930s with tons of blood and no actual personality or a story.

The Cameo posted:

Ruben Fleischer has nothing to do with Venom, though, so why these three movies when only one applies (Will Beall writing Gangster Squad and co-writing Venom)?

Also lol to anyone assuming that "hey these two are the listed screenwriters" on a studio picture carrying any more weight than the ink on the poster, given the uncredited rewrites and polishes that are part and parcel with any big five production. You want to know how good a screenwriter who isn't Chris Nolan or Quentin Tarantino actually is, you usually have to dig into some small independent picture that they wrote, since those are the movies where the amount of outside interference on what ends up on screen from the original pages is going to least occur.

Double the amount of salt you need to take any listing with when it's an assigned production and not a spec, because you're being told basically from jump street "this movie needs this, this, this, and this, and we want this to happen to set up this in another movie if this one makes so-and-so amount of money, also if this could be a thing because we're gonna make a line of toys around it, by the way, Coke needs to be a big part of the movie, they are spending $30 million on product placement so if you could have a Coke machine save his life or maybe he always just asks for a Coke when he visits someone's house or something that'd be great".

Now imagine trying to write something entertaining, if not emotionally resonant, with a laundry list of things that the movie has to do and be, some at cross terms with other things, most of which you can't talk your way out of removing to make the screenplay work - all the while knowing once you hand it in (and then proceed to wait for the second check to be sent out because you held up your end of the deal and got a draft in by their deadline), it's going to be floating around the studio junior execs, each of which saying "well could we have this, just make a new character for it" and "this seems unclear, can we have a character who explains that" and random notes otherwise, some of which are actually helpful, and a lot of which end up being "needs more dog". Also, you might get "let go" after this draft anyway and it'll be passed around a dozen other screenwriters who'll chip away at it until it doesn't read like you, or anyone, anymore.

Screenwriters are basically the retail salespersons of the movie industry. There's a reason why a lot of them flee to TV, where - much like stage theater - they get an applicable amount of respect and control over their careers.

Okay but Venom still looks garbo

Raimi Spider-Man had the misfortune of having the most annoying and insufferable female character in a comic book movie ever: Mary Jane Watson.

I hated her so much, she knocked Spidey 2 down a lot for my rewatchability cause she effectively just jerks Peter around for the movie.

Well, they were lighting things up a bit with The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Justice League... and then they turn around and decided to make Teen Titans into the bloodiest edge piece yet.

They're supposed to be low key, they should be able to blend in with the every man.
This... just looks like they checked off everything they saw in the lovely sequels(MIB3 was actually pretty decent though) and that's it.
