Probably. Derided though it may have been, that trailer for Wreck-It Ralph 2 with all the Disney princesses was the one that got all the attention.

Wreck-It Ralph 2 was pretty much instantly forgettable, which sucked because the first one was one of my favorite animated movies of the last several years.

So was The LEGO Movie, so I hope The LEGO Movie 2 doesn't turn out the same way, but I'm not exactly hopeful since Lord and Miller aren't directing this one. At least they're producing it, though, so that's something.

At least the end credits scene for Wreck-It Ralph 2 was funny because it was using an internet joke to play with the expectations for something people are genuinely excited for: https://youtu.be/r6cMr8mMUxg?t=100

I'm more imagining a television show with Game of Thrones level production values to convince people to join its streaming service.

Yeah a TV show where all of the Disney characters you know and love live in the same world. You could even make it live action to differentiate it from other uses of the characters. You’d probably have to add a few original characters to make it sing, and if it went long enough you might have to add characters from something in the public domain to mix it up. You’d probably get a solid 6-7 seasons out of it, even if you had to time jump at the end. Give it a name like something out of a fairytale and you’re all set. Something like... Happily Ever After.

nah that would never work.

It didn't make me mad, it just didn't do much for me either. Then I saw Aquaman which didn't do much for me either. Then I saw Second Act which didn't do much for me either.

That was a day of overwhelmingly average movies.

Mary Poppins Returns is a story about ensuring the rich stay rich, that men never have to account for anything or ever be responsible as thats a woman's job, and that the solution to "you're a loving terrible father" is to be as childish as possible. From a mechanical standpoint it is poorly paced, has extremely dull cinematography that people who would normally never notice it notice it, and doesn't understand how to setup a story arc or foreshadow things properly. Lastly, the film ends with a scene demonstrating the problems of "Angel Summoner vs. BMX Bandit" and it sort of undermines the entire point of Mary Poppins character purpose.

I liked Ocean's 8, but it was weird that during the heist, they were saved by one of the men from the original movies. (Well, not original-original, but you know.) Also that they apparently casually destroyed hundreds of priceless historical artifacts as part of their plan.

Wasn't the Jacob's Ladder remake filmed back in like 2015? It being delayed until this year does not bode well.

Speaking of long-delayed fantasy movies, I wonder if we'll ever see the adaptation of The Moon and the Sun with Pierce Brosnan that was yanked from the cinemas like three weeks before release.

The single most astonishing cut for me is there is a part during the absurdly way too long trip the light fantastic dance number where the camera cuts quickly from all the action to the outerring of lamp posts at near the very top level so a ton of ladders and guys on them just plop into frame, and then guys jump from below the frame forward and instead of following them or zooming out so you can actually see the dance move it cuts again except it doesnt cut to finish the move, it just goes to new unrelated dance step.

How the gently caress did this get a sequel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igCFTDEIq0Y

It's actually getting a limited theatrical release (plus simultaneous VOD release) on Jan 11. The original starred Rob Schneider as the main character but this time he passed on the role so they had to recast. They couldn't get Rob Schneider.

(Rob's only listed acting roles for 2018 were a cameo appearance in a music video and a minor VA role in the videogame Madden NFL 19)

The last movie I saw in 2018 was the House With a Clock in the Walls. Sadly quite boring. I could see the constant insults between Jack Black's and Cate Blanchett's characters working in the book, but in the movie it fell totally flat. Waste of Kyle Maclachlan, acting through thick make up and voice modulation. And having the protag being a wet blanket wiener kid was novel, but not fun (and again, something I see working better in the book).

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Stuff not in the OP I did see in 2018:

Rampage: part of the Extended The Rock Makes Boring Movies Now Universe. On the bright side, they got a decent amount of mileage out of an adaptation of a ‘80s arcade game.

The Meg: Jason Statham and the nation of China bringing you exactly what it says on the tin (see the trailer and you can fill in the blanks). My nominee for the Please Don’t Let The Main Characters Get Romantically Involved award.

12 Strong: Chris Hemsworth is an all-American soldier riding a horse in Afghanistan. Noteworthy for giving Michael Shannon a paycheck before The Shape of Water got us obsessed about fish-loving.

24 Hours to Live: Remember Hobo with a Shotgun? The creators of this movie did, because they make good use of the 6 minutes of Rutger Hauer they got. There’s also something about Ethan Hawke being an assassin that gets resurrected for a day when he messes up. I don’t really remember.

I just watched One cut of the dead , a Japanese zombie film that somehow only cost 3 million jpy and has been making the film festival circuit. The whole show was a pure delight and I strongly recommend you (even if you already hate zombie films to death) to watch it. It does something quite clever with the genre, and you may be seeing some weird poo poo or unbearable horror cliches in the beginning but trust me, just keep watching!

Strongly recommend Bumblebee while still in theaters. Every time his eyes go sad my heart just broke. Points in the movie's favor:

The run-time is just under two hours.

Nobody soils their pants at any point.

We don't see anyone's rear end at any point either.

Despite the presence of one human character from the Bay films, this movie is completely unrelated to them and outright contradicts them.

The film focuses on three robots: a yellow-one, a red-one, and a blue-one. Any other bots are cameos who don't crowd the place.

Like Ant-Man the step-dad isn't a jerk but a well-meaning bumbler.

There is a semi-nice guy on the heroic-side who the movie gently makes fun of the whole time.

The film riffs on loads of 80's tunes because the movie is set in the loving 80's, unlike Ready Player One where everyone share the author's taste in pop despite it being 56 years since the 80's ended.

The movie also does the Iron Giant better than the disrespectful way it was in Ready Player One.

I had an okay opinion of it after seeing it in theaters, but as time went on more and more issues with it began to pop up. I decided to give it another shot after it dropped on Netflix and it just feels very... white noisey. I got bored around thirty minutes in and realized I had no interest in committing another two hours and peaced out. I know some people dig it, which is fine, but it was a one and done for me.
