Death to 2018! Long live the new flesh! Reposting my post from the last page of the last thread because lmao at this news: https://twitter.com/consequence/status/1080592441881907201 18 years in and we bone like we're cheating on each other WITH each other. A decade-plus and their brown/taint-area still pOwns my dick. Tars Tarkas posted:Joker - Can this film live up to the constant stream of leaked set photos? Also, a reminder: there are not just one but TWO Joker movies in production! There's the Joaquin Phoenix one that the set photos have been coming out about, but also Jared Leto signed up to do like two additional Joker movies when he became attached to Suicide Squad, so the first one of those is in production now, I believe.

Best animated film of 2018 is Into The Spider-Verse. There are no other worthy contenders. Period.

I'm watching TV and I just saw an ad for Replicas, which apparently opens next week? This is literally the first marketing I've seen for it whatsoever. I know, I know: gently caress You, It's January! and all, but drat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcOTiTVuizU

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.

Went and saw Escape Room, which was essentially a cross between that Saw sequel where everyone turns out to be linked together by the insurance scheme and the Resident Evil movie where the locations keep shifting. Not anything great, but not as lame as I thought it would be either.

K. Waste posted:Let's just take for granted for a second that Bumblebee is better than Bayformers 1-5. There was a light-up standee for Bumblebee in one of my local AMC theaters for months before the movie came out, and just about every time I went and saw a movie there, there were kids posing in front of it and parents taking their pictures. Then when I saw it, it was an advanced screening like two weeks before the movie actually came out and the theater was sold out and it was mostly kids with their parents. Kids were cheering during it. People give a poo poo about Bumblebee, it's just you don't. BravestOfTheLamps posted:That still doesn't mean that people care about Bumblebee. People who are familiar with Transformers (so literally millions upon millions of people) already know who Bumblebee is. And kids who were too young for Transformers or whatever probably know Hailee Steinfeld from the Pitch Perfect movies or her music career. The movie has something for lots of different people, whether they give it a chance or not. I wasn't even planning on giving it a chance because I hated Bay's Transformers movies, but I did and I'm glad I did because it was better than all of those.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Like I'm gonna be honest I think the central problem is that a movie about Bumblebee, The Shittiest Transformer, was probably going to be a hard sell from moment one It's essentially The Iron Giant reimagined in the Transformers universe.

K. Waste posted:Explaining that the film has a target demographic that responds to it relatively well does not resolve the problem that the film ultimately isn't performing very well. The film is not doing bad numbers because I don't give a poo poo about it. A lot of people don't give a poo poo about it, to an extent that is way more significant than your anecdote. Bumblebee actually got critical praise, and I think not having Transformers in its title could've helped it not be associated with the Bayformers movies. It probably just came out at the same time as too many other movies, so not enough people saw it, which is a shame because it really is a better made movie than Aquaman, Mary Poppins Returns, etc.

Anonymous Zebra posted:Nobody except the biggest movie nerds even knew about the behind-the-scenes Solo drama. Honest to God, I once had a conversation with a group of friends where they were impressed that I knew who the director of the movie was and we were talking about loving Wolf of Wall Street. Nobody knows who directed 22 Jump Street or that those directors left Solo halfway through. Normal moviegoers just don't pay that much attention to the movie news.

muscles like this! posted:Read a review of A Dog's Way Home and apparently the trailers leave out some weird dark moments, like the dog almost dying after being taken in by a homeless man who dies, leaving the dog chained up and alone. Until some kids stumble across the dead body of the homeless man. Real feel good moment of the year. I think I saw that my Sony credit card's rewards program is offering reward points for uploading a ticket stub for that movie. Maybe I'll use my AMC A-List to get a ticket to that and just go see Bumblebee or Spider-Verse again instead.

So I just got out of seeing Replicas, the new Keanu Reeves movie that got unceremoniously dumped into theaters with barely any marketing at all. I don't want to jump the gun and say that this is 2019's The Book of Henry, especially since we're not even halfway through loving January, but it's similarly misguided and just completely batshit insane. It was so bad but I just couldn't help but laugh through most of it because of how crazy the choices the movie makes are. A brief outline of what it's about : Keanu works as a scientist at (what he thinks is) a biomed company. His wife and 3 kids are killed in a car crash. He's the lone survivor. He barely even sheds a tear for them before he decides to clone his family. Thomas Middleditch who plays his work buddy helps him out with this. Together they steal millions of dollars worth of research equipment from their company, and since Keanu doesn't have a generator at his house, he goes around the neighborhood stealing car batteries to hook up the equipment to. Their company only has 3 pods and Keanu has 4 people he wants to save, SO HE LITERALLY WRITES DOWN THE NAMES OF HIS DEAD FAMILY MEMBERS ON SHEETS OF PAPER, PUTS THEM INTO A BOWL AND RANDOMLY PICKS WHICH OF HIS KIDS GETS TO LIVE. HIS YOUNGEST DAUGHTER DOESN'T GET CHOSEN SO HE DELETES HER MEMORY OUT OF THE BRAINS OF HIS WIFE AND OTHER 2 KIDS. And it gets even crazier from there. I just...I'm completely at a loss as to how this thing got made hahahahahaha If you enjoy bad movies, absolutely go see this and do it soon because it'll probably leave theaters in a week or 2. There was literally one other person in the theater with me on opening night.

It dethroning Aquaman at the box office is a shame, because even though I didn't like Aquaman that much, Aquaman was still more entertaining than The Upside.
