OT: Movies are basically flipbooks for adults (The Newly Annual Non-Pens Media Thraed)

Disney fired him because they had no balls and wanted to show they weren't going to stand for it.

Then Disney couldn't find a director, multiple people turned it down because to take over after 2 were out, would be copying his style and trying to do his movie his style and get crap for it.

Then Disney finally gives in, hires him back.

Disney then shoves their entire fist up the idiot fan bases asses and says "We were never looking for a new director this whole time guys!! Don't hate us now!!"


I am honestly only glad he's still doing Suicide Squad.

I don't care about the politics of it. I just want a good movie.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I watched that Netflix Jake Gyllenhaal (spelling?) movie called Velvet Buzzsaw last night. Was hoping it'd be close to the level of Nightcrawler.

It wasn't. It was horrible.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I liked captain marvel. Nothing mind-blowing but very solid. More Fury is always good.

 

[BladeRunner66]

Remember when there were hardly any super hero movies being made? Of course CGI helps a lot but still, it's all big budget franchises now.

I own a VHS copy of

I really don't recommend watching this shit attempt at movie making, most good super hero good flicks came around Batman but cases can be made for some Reeves Superman films i guess.

I also own a VHS copy of

Which i also don't recommend but this one is actually watchable after a couple of beers and Slater certainly isn't a sore to the eyes!

The politics of it isn't what bothers me.

The whole weak ass easy out that they constantly create. It's hard to feel shit when you know the outcome is always gonna be for the good guys with minor repercussions because they're desperate for money over a good story.

Hay guys we're gonna kill people....for one movie. No worries we'll reverse it with this easy rewrite of a character that can...I won't spoil it.

Netflix is hit or miss.

Stuff like Russian Doll, umbrella Academy, etc is great. But they also have huge misses too. Like any other studio really.

The outcome is for the good guys in the vast vast vast majority of movies ever made. And they've had plenty of repercussions for the characters, especially recently. Cap lost everyone he ever knew, was betrayed by his government, then had to turn against his friends to stick to his morals and to protect Bucky. Tony is a completely different person after the amount of death he's been apart of causing both before and after becoming Iron Man. Thor lost his father, home planet, and the majority of his people.

Honestly, I just don't know what you expect. Do you need characters to die to consider it a repercussion?

Spoiler

She's ****ing made from an infinity stone. That's ****ing garbage bro. Garbage. I hate you for liking this ****. Be better Ogre. You're better than this. I almost wanted to leave when I saw what they were doing.

Spoiler

I don't see the problem with that being how she got her powers. It's not new. The same was true for Wanda and Pietro, and Vision was basically a living Infinity Stone vessel. And especially with respect to Captain Marvel, it's pretty much irrelevant to this movie.

 

[Jacob]

Most of these films made to seem political / social in the marketing and media lead-up just end up being... not that. But I haven’t seen Captain Marvel and honestly don’t plan to.. there’s like 5 other super hero films I still need to watch and I’d never even heard of the character before like a month ago.

Mostly I just don’t get into superhero films.

I've been working through Brooklyn 99. On season 5 now.

Have watched the F1 Netflix series too. There's a Ricky Gervais series on there that I might look at watching too

 

[Ogrezilla]

Just realized Legion season 2 is up on Hulu finally. I need to watch that. Season 1 is only 8 episodes, I kind of want to rewatch that first. I loved season 1, I hope season 2 is good too. Curious to see how they go forward considering how they changed some pretty key parts of the character.

 

[Jacob]

Creep is good. It’s on Netflix.

F1 and Gervais show is good. 99 isn't a Netflix show. It's a show that is now on Netflix.

Lmao.


It's cancelled mate.

well shit.

The show with Scully on Netflix is fantastic too.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

well ****.

It got too convoluted.

 

[Ogrezilla]

It got too convoluted.

I'd buy that. It honestly should have probably been a 1 off mini-series type. I'd love for them to do that with more shows. Make it a series for the lesser known or harder to adapt characters. It's hard to fit some into the big overarching world of the movies or shows, it's hard to boil some down to 2 hours, and it's hard to make some in to long lasting series. Get some 1-off series.

Well the character is one of the most powerful beings in all of marvel. I agree it should have been a one off miniseries and then they could just pick the juicy stuff to show. It dragged at times too much for me.

Outcast was similar with pacing.

I don't know if season 2 explains it or anything, but I don't like that

Spoiler

he's not actually crazy, it was all the shadow king.

That was kinda the whole characters I thought.

I don't want to ruin it for you.

Just watch it and you'll get your answers.

The show with Scully on Netflix is fantastic too.

About the serial killer in ireland or where ever?

About the serial killer in ireland or where ever?

Both.

One where she's a cop and the other where she's a single mother and sex therapist.

 

[LOGiK]

Both.

She was too fat and a red head and the fox people wanted to cast a sexy bendy curvy blonde to play Scully.
Look how far she came. Doesn't she live in England too because she hates the whole LA scene?
Kudos to GA.

Don't you dare speak ill of her. Gillian Anderson is gorgeous.

The only superhero I care about is John Wick because he seems like a total tool but has a good tailor and I'm okay with that.
