I can't say those movies appeal to me, but I do know that when my buddy ran out of Scooby-Doo episodes to watch with his 6 year old kids there wasn't much decent age-appropriate spooky stuff to recommend outside of those films. So, not for me, but I respect making spooky stuff for the under-10 set to indoctrinate them to horror early.

Both of these trailers look like trailers for things I would enjoy, albeit in different ways. I turned them both off halfway through because it looked like they were showing too much and I was already sold.

Yes. The film's setup feels so grossly conservative: "I've gotta go fight a WAR so my wife can stay at HOME and raise our child with TRADITIONAL VALUES."

I'm 100% positive that the entire movie was built around the premise of his daughter growing up and them meeting as adults so this time she can save him.

It looks like The Mummy, which means I will probably have to cave and watch a Dwayne Johnson movie. I probably won't like it and will complain about the lame humor and the cartoony physics and the overreliance on big empty CGI setpieces and such, but at least I know that going in. Being a big Indiana Jones fan is tough because the vast majority of the riffs on it are dreadful

I know that I should not be saying this about a glorified toy commercial that Kevin Smith is involved in, but... that looks rad as hell. I am going to watch it, and there is a very good chance I will enjoy it. Feels like just the right balance of nostalgia and trying to elevate the material. Sure, a lot of the costumes look ridiculous and toyetic, but just on the right side of ridiculous.

I don't think 16% is accurate, unless you're only allowing for whole movies and not parts. JP2 and JP3 should at least get points for great effects and animatronics, and JP2 has the trailer sequence which stands up to any sequence from the first film. JP3 should also get at least a couple points for being as good as it is despite its script being thrown out 3 weeks before shooting and started over from scratch. I hear a lot of people like Camp Cretaceous and talk about it in the same league as Clone Wars as something that works for adults and carves out its own identity apart from the films, but I'm just not sure I can bring myself to watch it. At least the prequels were interesting bases to start from, if rather flawed. CC is just playing in a toybox filled with garbage. e: While we're talking about this, I just thought I'd throw out my pet idea that if Vince Vaughn's character had been cut from The Lost World and his story was given to Sarah Harding, it would have vastly improved the film. Malcolm's girlfriend being an ecoterrorist who went over Malcolm's head to destroy InGen's corporate machinations would have given the film some extremely necessary life. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Jun 21, 2021 |

Yeah, watch '78 and '18 and you should be good to go. Between watching those and Kills, though, I'd recommend watching 2 and 3 as well—but only because 3 is good (but a different thing) and has a cute reference in the trailer, and there are echos of 2 present in '18, even if it's not canon to it.

It's the first chapter, yeah. Technically it was only written once the short stories were collected, so prelude is more or less accurate. I'm hoping that they anthologize it rather than just stretch it out, but either way there's going to be a lot of invention from the writers. I could see the first season being the first chapter setting up the grander story, the second season being the second chapter with Seldon appearing via hologram, and the third season introducing The Mule and having Seldon's hologram be wrong about everything. I think that'd be a smart way of doing an anthology and loosely sticking to the books without losing the audience. A proper adaptation would be fully anthology with each episode jumping ahead in time, but nobody would watch it.

It sounded really good, but I think it's just an impression. Hearing it back-to-back with his younger self it felt similar but not the same. I think he just found a good soundalike, and since they're reading his words the cadence would be even more similar.

There's rumors he's cast as the live-action version of Ezra from Star Wars Rebels now. That character is super wooden so it'd fit, at least.

Punkin Spunkin posted:Guess its a good way to get something out cheap. During the Comic-Con@Home panel, the moderator asked why they went with 3D, especially in light of the original's practical effects legacy and BR2049 going practical on as many of its effects as possible—plus the 2D Black Out short from a few years back. The producer stumbled his way through it with a bullshit answer. The panel was pretty painful overall.

Outside of a few rare exceptions, a comedy has to have a solid foundational screenplay to work. Yes, actors can improvise on top of that and play with the language and lines, or even improvise entire new moments or sequences if they understand their character and their function within the scene well—but if the words on the page don't work, the actor isn't going to have a launchpad into good improv. Perhaps funny lines, but good improv informs character, moves the scene forward, or serves some other storytelling purpose. People seem to conflate "improv" and "making up jokes," but improv is a theatrical form that has far more to it than just being funny. Working from "[insert joke here]" means that you're just filling an empty comedy beat, but good improvised jokes need to be part of a larger canvas. Bad improv is just like a bad action sequence or a bad musical number: if it's not serving a storytelling purpose, it's just wasting time.

The highs are higher but the lows are much lower. I couldn't fault anyone for not getting into improv enough to experience the incredible stuff. At its best it's definitely more a school of theatre than a school of comedy, but the vast majority of shows you could go catch on a Friday night don't reflect that even in NYC or LA.
