Leavemywife posted:I didn't think it was that bad. The reveal at the end seemed...Well, ho lee gently caress was a pretty good summary. Up until that point, it was kind of a boring drama murder mystery. I wouldn't call it a good twist, if that's what you're saying. It's the kind of twist that relies on plot holes and casts every character as either a complete idiot or a cartoonish nutjob.

Leavemywife posted:Oh, definitely not a good twist. I didn't mean to even imply that, my bad. It seemed to be there just for the shock of it. If any sort of seeds had been planted about it earlier, then it would have been better, but it's just so out of left field, it's like the ending of a different script was tacked on. That's what I thought. I think Tyler Perry has gone off the deep end

Can't fault him for that, but I wouldn't complain if he relinquished his production company and fortune to Barry Jenkins

If you're a director you put what you love on screen, even if it makes the viewing audience intensely uncomfortable. Tarantino likes feet, Argento likes his daughter, Burton likes Depp, Trank likes poop. (In the case of Trank's previous work, he applied that principle more metaphorically)

I had a similar idea to quibi before I found out about it, except it involved the idea of "prestige" content, i.e. video essays and "serious" short films, and you subscribed to specific creators and not the service itself. Kind of like patreon/Kickstarter for short films. Also involved poaching creators from YouTube. Now that I think about it, there might have been something like that a few years ago actually and I just completely forgot it existed. I remember them having a big old gently caress YouTube campaign and a lot of YouTube creators making think pieces in why they sucked

The first half (pre-intermission) of hateful eight is too long for what the second half ends up being. Put another way, the second half doesn't deliver on what the first half promises. Like it spends way too much time setting up so many interesting lines of conflict and social/power dynamics, and then Walter Goggins' character allies with Sam Jackson despite the latter's killing of the former's idol, which Tarantino completely glosses over in narration with "yeah they had an argument about it," and Channing Tatum shows up Shyamalan-ishly and with zero buildup. He had a great premise and he completely bungled the landing. I wonder if the fact that the script got leaked really early had anything to do with how badly the plot tracks in the latter half.

Robot Style posted:[*]Cyborg is the heart of the movie - A lot of his stuff was cut from the theatrical version. Joss apparently hated him. I can see why Whedon would not be a fan of Snyder's work, given that the former despises grimdark and can't help cheapening anything serious in his screenplays with a joke, but there's no evidence to suggest they didn't get along or even interacted with each other at all during the production of justice league

Come And See posted:Sorry, meant the first line out of that particular character. Final episode of the series, mysterious and competant bounty hunter jobs Nathan Fillion, we're a good chunk into the episode, tension is building and then... that. Uh.... no, that scene is Juble Early's, like, fourth scene in that episode and he has dialogue in each of the three prior to that
