Is there some unspoken rule in Hollywood that there can never be a straight-up remake of Wizard of Oz, only reimaginings?

It's gotten to the point where I don't even know movies have been remade until years after they've come out and no one's seen them.

It's weird that people stopped talking about the show that looked terrible and then came out and was terrible.

I gave up halfway through because even though there were some good ideas in there, they were buried under the "say everything as loud, annoying and wacky as possible" style of comedy.

If half of a movie is going to be slow, that needs to be the first half. A movie that slowly builds up the plot and then steps on the gas for a third act where everything goes to hell and doesn't stop until the end is way more enjoyable than a movie that fizzles out.

Film the actors reading the script in the meeting room, act like this is the first time it's ever been done like they pretended Black Panther was Marvel's first black superhero movie when the Blade trilogy already existed.

Every Woody Allen movie:

"Oh, *insert extremely jewish name* you need to calm down"

"Calm down!? I-II..Do you like *insert jazz musician no one gives a gently caress about*?"

"Oh yeah! He's fantastic! You know what? You're kinda cute..."

"Oh wow, well I...uh"

*She leans over and kisses him in front of a New York City landmark*


gently caress Woody Allen

That looks suspiciously like a list of Oscar bait. Explains a lot about why he was so popular. Needs Vietnam to round out the list.

Are Bad Lieutenant and Port of Call in the Bad Santa/Teacher/Moms universe? Also is the first one as good as Port of Call? This reminds me a lot of Uncut Gems.

The original Bad Lieutenant and New Orleans are completely unrelated, the producer wanted to reuse the name. Never seen the original.

Oh god, I just realized that at some point very soon it will be cheaper to computer generate extras for most movies. There's probably a lot of overhead involved with dealing with extras, and numerous people who's entire job is wrangling them.

10 years from now you'll be watching a movie with a restaurant scene and you'll see some waiter in the background glitching out.

Yes. Whatever that is, it is introduced halfway through the movie as more important than the mcguffins the movie has been about for 2 hours.

There's a mythical planet where Darkseid suffered his only loss and that's where the anti-life equation was and the three mother boxes were lost there. Steppenwolf realizes it's the same planet halfway through the movie and informs Darkseid who's like "What?" Wouldn't they have realized it's the same planet the moment the boxes activated? How many other planets with lost mother boxes could there even be considering that's the only time Darkseid was ever defeated and lost some boxes?

Most of Cyborg's plot could have easily been its own movie leading up to Justice League. And it had already been done better in previous iterations of the character.
