Iron Crowned posted:Also I think James Cameron is the only one who still does 3D, the world has moved away from it once again. Which is fine because there really hasn’t been anyone that did it as well as he did. The story was trite but Avatar is still a spectacle because it used 3D to make the movie have a depth of field instead of just some action pieces pop out.

Yeah it was definitely sold as a John Wick movie but I think if it had been sold more as a spy thriller, which is closer to what it was, it would have done better.

Brother Entropy posted:i wonder how much of it might be sony or naughty dog being too precious about how their very boring protagonist should and shouldn't be portrayed and that clashing with the rotating glass door of directors who want to do anything beyond what's been portrayed in the video games The majority of it is probably scheduling. The movie’s 6 directors go back 7-8 years. This one definitely is, the director had already threatened to walk if he couldn’t begin shooting soon. Then the Sony/Marvel deal went back into effect and Holland got tied up with the new Spider-Man. The delay in announcing is probably sorting out the legalese of Sony and the director coming a mutual agreement on terminating the contract.

Every studio used to constantly released their old movies. It's why Gone With the Wind has the highest adjusted box office, it was released something like 37 times. Before vhs became so ubiquitous in the 80s it was the only way for people to rewatch old movies.

MonsieurChoc posted:Isn't Ian McKellen known for going on Bryan Singer's infamous boat parties? That's the rumor, though it's not like the behaviour is mutually exclusive. Predators never see themselves as harmful, particularly among the gay community where an older man taking a young man under his wing to introduce him to the scene was prevalent for so long. Moving away from the acceptance of that dynamic is a big struggle in a lot of communities to this day.

Alan Smithee posted:John wick has that weird undercurrent of secret societies operating in plain sight since the general almost kinda knows what’s up but keeps their head down which begs some interesting questions Possibly, there was a homeless man that hung out around my college since a lot of students had a habit of giving him a few bucks or buying him a sandwich when they saw him. There was also a rumor that he was secretly wealthy and either insane or just had nothing better to do. Everyone I knew that perpetuated the rumor also attended objectivist or libertarian meetings. I always assumed the rumor was their way soothing a guilty conscience about never doing anything to help him.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:The various industry groups should just buy an island that would be entirely dedicated to film/television production where everyone coming in is subject to testing for the virus. Everything produced on the island would be 60's to 80's BBC quality but it would be fine. They just have to be aired for a week in NY or LA before Dec 15th, right? I'm sure more Hollywood people than just Tarantino own theaters and if they don't I'm sure some producer will buy a megaplex and fill it with his companies movies for a week or two, do a bunch of 'private screenings' .

My wife got to choose the movie last night and went with 'The Last Thing He Wanted' on Netflix. Jesus it was terrible, Anne Hathaway under mastectomy makeup, Alcohol Bender Bloat Ben Affleck and Criminally Underused Willem Dafoe. The description said it was based on the book, so I thought it was some biopic style movie about the Sandanistas, but apparently it was written as a airport gift store knockoff Danielle Steele.

Rat King from James Clavell is also a good read, it's a fictionalized account of the author's time in Changi, the most infamous of Japan's POW camps. It even touches on some topics that could explain the sugarcoating Pierre Boulle gave Japan's labor camps. When Changi is liberated by American and British forces there's no small amount of disdain from the British for the prisoners for allowing themselves to 'go native' and even the compassionate ones feel patronizing. This is probably more in their heads do the author's psychological trauma of spending four years in a pow camp.

Rochallor posted:Technology is constantly improving, but of the few big instances I can think of--younger RDJ in Iron Man, Peter Cushing in Rogue One, and horrific approximation of Robert de Nero in The Irishman--only RDJ isn't terrifying. And in that case they're trying to make a 50 year old look 20, which is a lot easier, I expect, than 70 to 20. And apparently movies have been doing similar deaging to actors for a while now. Maybe I'm wrong but wasn't RDJ mainly just splicing in footage of him from the 80s instead of an overlay like the others?
