It might be those things, but it also might be that more Arrested Development just isn't very high on their list of poo poo to promote. Like, they already did the "Arrested Development is back." Now all there is is "Arrested Development is still here." I seem to recall the "is back" part not even going over very well with critics or fans anyway.

The Boy Band Con is the second YouTube original thing I've seen, and it's a pretty good doc.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I'm still not 100% on what happened there. What about Shane Black's films lead people to believe that he could make a good sci-fi action movie? It's like, yeah, he directed one Marvel movie, pretty much completely keyed to their house style, and besides that two cult neo-noir films. Meanwhile, with the actual trailers themselves, somehow he managed to have Larry Fong on board and have it come out looking like this:  It's like, if you want someone to do a Predator movie, you got John Liebesman... or fuckin' Guy Ritchie even. You put that Platinum Dunes protege skill on the case. Fuckin' Peter Berg could make an excellent Predator movie. But, no, get the dialog man. Worked brilliantly with Joss Whedon. edit: like, it looks like Scrubs

precision posted:I recall for a very long time he insisted he was making a sequel. I guess that's what it ended up being? Repo Man is an art house movie, so it probably is as close to a direct sequel as the insane mind behind Repo Man was ever gonna be content doing

Midsommar is much more overtly a black comedy, and what it has over Hereditary is an overarching theme that doesn’t collapse under a weight obscurantism. Like, with Hereditary you still have this debate over whether the film is really using a completely obtuse conspiracy is a facile metaphor for a legacy of trauma from abuse, or is actually just about a conspiracy. Midsommar is much more appreciably straightforward that, yes, it is just a conspiracy, there is no metaphor, and the experience of Pugh’s character is simply allegorical of the pursuit of finding an actual community that deeply embraces all its members, as opposed to the profound alienation of modern society.

I want to stress that, while I'm sure the "gore cut" of the movie is great, the censored version is itself nothing to shake a stick at. A true masterpiece of outsider filmmaking.

wormil posted:You would think Godzilla would be an easy movie to make -- giant lizard appears, military expends a few billion yen in ammo to no effect, buildings are smashed, giant villain appears, monster fight, some Japanese kid roots for big G. Godzilla loses, makes a Rocky comeback, wins and goes back into the ocean. Lots of popcorn is consumed. But apparently that is way too difficult. I mean, on the first part, they did do that, right down to the letter, and it still sucked. On the second part, the popcorn part, nobody gives a poo poo about Godzilla. I even found myself thinking the movie might be a surprise or sleeper hit way back, but then I saw the movie and the numbers came in and of course I had to be like, "K., what the gently caress were you thinking? You broke your own law of crowd prediction!"

Inspector Hound posted:Oh, excellent. That's not Reefer Madness (or, Tell Your Children!) but one of the other myriad of films released at the time to titillate people while "educating" (scaring) them about the newest drug menace. We'd never do that now (cue compilation of cocaine, meth, and heroin horror films released in the last fifty years) Wait a minute... Hiccup is also a magic dragon who lives by the sea! And frolics in the autumn mist! drat you Hollywood poisoning our kids with your subliminal gay hippie satan worship!

Simplex posted:KOTM is very faithful to the older Godzilla movies, which in my opinion is the worst part about it. Not that "old," though. The Showa films would never feature something as hyper-specific as an eco-accelerationist extremist group as the primary antagonist. That's an early-Heisei thing, and even there, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is way better.

Also very good on Netflix is Atlantics, a French/Senegalese film by Mati Diop. Go in blind.

There's an Indian Tamil-language hyperlink movie called Super Deluxe on Netflix right now that absolutely everybody needs to see, because it's low key a late entry into the best films of 2019 category. Now, I know a lot of y'all might be thinking, "Man, I hate hyperlink cinema" -- I want you to imagine a hyperlink movie where the inevitable magical realist climax simultaneously maintains the same veneer of transcendental humanism, but is at the same time completely tongue-in-cheek and straightforward about it. Think Magnolia, but by way of Guy Ritchie and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Trailer doesn't really do it justice, but I'm mostly posting to convey the other plus of this movie -- just an absolutely flawless cinematography and production design all around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Xq_Zz3nPA Seriously, don't sleep on this.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Disney adapting Artemis Fowl is a project only barely less doomed than adapting The Golden Compass. Fortunately, HBO is handling the latter, and it honestly looks pretty decent, albeit in a "We ran out of GoT so we're doing this" kind of way.
