Time for a Rock'em Sock'em Robots movie starring Vin Diesel!quote:Vin Diesel is set to star in and produce a live-action feature version of the tabletop boxing game Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/vin-diesel-to-star-in-rock-em-sock-em-robots-movie-for-universal-mattel No, it's not Real Steel 2, despite Real Steel being a good movie that should have a sequel and this film having the exact same plot from the line there. Also Magic 8 Ball movie!?!?

Guess which Keanu Reeves movie is getting a sequel? Of course everyone here guessed "47 Ronin" and you are correct!quote:Lucifer actress Aimee Garcia and New York Times bestselling author AJ Mendez have been brought on to pen the upcoming untitled 47 Ronin sequel for Universal 1440 Entertainment. The action-fantasy pic, which is being directed by Mulan‘s Ron Yuan as we first told you, is the follow to the 2013 Universal Keanu Reeves movie which grossed over $151M WW. https://deadline.com/2021/04/aimee-garcia-aj-mendez-47-ronin-sequel-writers-1234740406/

muscles like this! posted:I assume this is the same project that's been floating around for a while where it isn't actually a sequel but basically the same story set in the future. That makes sense with some of the quotes in the article but lol at it being almost entirely framed as a sequel Simone Magus posted:I didn't even see 1 through 46 Ronin!

The MSJ posted:Sleepy Hollow on Fox was a hoot. The premise is based on the Founding Fathers being all being superscientists and occult warlocks creating a new country to stop demon worshippers from establishing a foothold on a new continent. However it declined heavily, cursed by screwing over Orlando Jones. This also happened to American Gods, by the way. Sleepy Hollow was one of my favorite shows the first season, they had a crazy world lore and would just get more bonkers each episode, and plenty of awesome recurring roles (most of which were African-American actors due to 2 of the 4 leads being black), including Abbie's sister who is basically T2 Sarah Conner who fights demons. But then they stopped doing anything with Orlando Jones (why???) and dropped his whole family, boosted some terrible new supporting characters instead, alienated their very large black fan base, and then gave Nicole Beharie such terrible stories that she asked to leave the show. As most of the of the show that was left was her and Tom Mison's chemistry they had successfully murdered the show which somehow still stumbled through one more season duz posted:Berman and Braga had said they weren't sure if Enterprise was going to get a fourth season when they made the cliffhanger Captain Archer kamikazeing himself at Time Traveling Aliens that joined the Actual Nazis. And honestly having the be the ending of the series would've been better than the actual series finale. Enterprise being terrible until season 4 is one of the things one of the modern Trek series could easily fix with a six episode arc.

I've watched a couple of bootleg assembly cuts and a lot of them have temp tracks, temp looping (both themselves a nightmare for rights for release), scenes obviously not edited for pacing or even final versions of scenes before alternate takes are picked over them OR reshoots, unfinished effects, and plenty of other weird stuff. They are fascinating, but I can understand why they don't want them out there, it's like reading the second draft of a novel someone spent 20 drafts on.

The MSJ posted:After Bruce died, there were plenty of Bruce-sploitation movies in China and HK where they cast lookalikes of him in some Asylum-level movies. Now they can do it in digital! This became almost an entire industry and there are plenty of films with fake Bruces, both from film companies overseas or American distributors dubbing random films to be Bruce Lee films. Actors had their billing changed to names like Bruce Le, Bruce Li, Bruce Lai, and Dragon Lee. Even Jackie Chan did a Bruce Lee "sequel". Some of the best (as in most gonzo) ones are: Bruce Lee in New Guinea - Bruce Li here plays a guy who goes to Snake Worship Island and gets caught up in sorcerers and pretty ladies and martial art fights. And lots and lots of snakes! There is a princess with a kung fu gorilla body guard who gets knocked up by Bruce so later he must save the baby from a snake curse. There are two versions of this film, I first saw it on vhs which was uncut and full of naked women, but the version that was in all the cheap DVD sets had alternate scenes where everyone was wearing clothes like some sort of prudes. Some of the dvd releases have those scenes as special features but they are obviously sourced from a VHS tape, I don't know if the original naughty version still exists. The Clones of Bruce Lee - Who wants one Bruce Lee when you can have three! Bruce Lee died so they clones him in triplicate and are sending the clones on secret missions. Who cares if the clones look nothing like Bruce Lee or each other? Of course they fight each other for fun too. There are gold painted baddies and lots of naked women. This film I had 4 different versions of between cheap DVDs and an uncut VHS version with burnt in subs, but some fools when and remastered it so now it will live forever. Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave - This was a Korean martial arts film that American distributors added a scene in the beginning where lightning strikes a grave and Bruce Lee leaps out! The rest of the film has nothing to do with that. The Dragon Lives Again - Bruce Lee is dead and in Hell, where he meets Popeye, the One Armed Swordsman, and the guy from the Kung Fu tv show. Together, they team up to take down a gang in Hell that is made up of James Bond, Clint Eastwood (in Man with No Name guise), Emmauelle, Dracula, and The Godfather. Later Bruce then beats up the King of Hell because he's Bruce Lee and that's what he can do.

Casimir Radon posted:AVGN made a video about Game of Death several years ago. The actual movie that ended up getting released used badly superimposed still frames of Lee’s face, and footage of his funeral, alongside what had already been shot. Pretty ghoulish. World cinema has more examples of this as well. Mitr Chaibancha was THE star of 1960s Thailand, he and Petchara Chaowarat were box office gold to the point where there were rumors they were kidnapped off of movie shoots to make other movies. Mitr Chaibancha was on the cusp of becoming a pan-Asia star with his Red Eagle series of movies, films about a masked hero who fights criminals. The fifth film in the series he directed himself, it was called Insee Thong (Golden Eagle) and it featured way higher production values and action sequences. Another guy was dressing up as Red Eagle and being bad, so Red Eagle became...Golden Eagle, and beat everyone up! Everything was going swell, Chaibancha just had to film the final stunt of the movie, where his character rides off into the sunset hanging from a helicopter. Except he slipped and fell to his death. Rumors say that there are prints that show him actually falling to his death at the end of the movie, but it is not on the versions I or other Thai pulp cinema fans have seen. What the DVDs do feature is funeral footage of Chaibancha's funeral, including them lifting his body so he can see out the window at the thousands of mourning fans outside. As an aside, thanks to Thailand cinema not having synch sound at this time, there was also an industry of people who would take scenes from Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowarat films and recut them together to make new films. Thai cinema sound was provided by actors who voiced the characters at the theaters, which was why this was easy to get away with. Some of the voice actors gained fame of their own (much like playback singers in Indian cinema would become famous and occasionally be more famous than the actors whose singing voices they provided) Due to this practice and Thai cinema being terrible at preserving their own movies (due to many factors such as the climate, no money, and a bunch of coups), no one is sure just how many movies Chaibancha and Chaowarat made together. Only three of the original Red Eagle films survive (and one has an obvious missing section), while snippits of one more is in the Thai Film Archive but I've not been there to try to see it.

The first episode was amazing but after that was a massive drop off in quality. Beast Wars was a fun watch in college with the nostalgia while doing something new, but Beast Machines just made me stop watching after a few weeks.

Payndz posted:My son recently had a phase of watching Barbie shows, and Life In The Dreamhouse is actually a surprisingly amusing postmodern piss-take filled with for-the-parents jokes where the characters are all aware that they're dolls in a ridiculous cartoon satire on reality TV. (The other shows are bland as hell, though.) Life in the Dreamhouse is the series I recommend all the time whenever Barbie talk arrives, it's hilarious and spoofs Barbie and reality shows, it's amazing they let it go on as long as they did. It is the measuring stick I will judge the Barbie movie against. Some of the various Barbie movies are okay but there are so many I haven't see. LOL Surprise is another girl doll line that is big and I'm expecting a movie deal any day now, iirc the company behind Bratz owns them as well
