Dolfan in NYC Posted February 8, 2024 Author Posted February 8, 2024 7 minute sneak peek at Dune Part 2 with lots of BTS footage.
Log Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 (edited) @Contentious C The first Despicable Me is cute. A nice premise and the minions are fun. People saw it, and were like, "Those little minions sure are fun!" Hollywood heard that and was like, "YOU LIKE THOSE MINIONS!?!?! YOU LIKE THEM, DO YA!?!!? WELL, HERE'S EIGHTEEN FUCKING MORE MOVIES WITH THE LITTLE FUCKERS AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET MORE ANNOYING WITH EACH ONE!!! YOU LIKE THAT!?!?!" as Hollywood tends to do. Edited February 9, 2024 by Log
Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 (edited) It's the Lunch Box Disease. As soon as you can put it on a lunch box, we're getting more. (Well, I dunno... do kids still use lunch boxes? Do they all carry thermally-lined lunch bags now?) Edited February 9, 2024 by Curt McGirt
Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 (edited) If they're so afraid to do anything original because of the risk of not making money, why are they so willing to take their worn-out properties, make junk they don't even like, and take the loss on it? It makes no fucking sense to me. And they won't even take a low-ball offer to make SOME money back? [philosophy mode] Here at the end of capitalism, it looks like auto-cannibalism. They've made so much they have now lost all sense of purpose and will cut off their noses to spite their faces. Anything, just to feel... something. Is it suicide, or just masochism? Self-destructive pride? Total hubris? [/philosophy mode] Edited February 9, 2024 by Curt McGirt 1
Craig H Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 David Zaslav is fucking DUMB. Wow. What a stupid asshole. Just release it and make SOMETHING off of it. 5

Yeah, every trailer from this interminable decade of their overwrought dross looked like some kind of sanitized Looney Tunes/Three Stooges bunch of bullshit that I already saw when I was 6 and had no interest in revisiting as a grown-ass adult, except in its original form. 1

Eivion Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 15 hours ago, RIPPA said: Well so much for that idea I saw a comment elsewhere about this likely just being a ploy so they didn't get into trouble for their current shelving strategy after some senator commented about looking over the practice of shelving movies like this for tax write offs. Place the price so highly no one would accept while refusing to negotiate any counteroffers. Supposedly Zaslav never even saw the film. 1
Curt McGirt Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 Yeah, if they're finding loopholes, there has to be legislation protecting the artistic rights. It's transparent what they're doing. Then again, if you think Congress will actively govern anything positive I've got a big shiny nickle for you. It might be made out of wood, but it's well polished. 1 1
RIPPA Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 I will eventually get around to the stuff from the Super Bowl. In the meantime Scoop Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell star in this behind-the-scenes account of Prince Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview.

RIPPA Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Here is the aforementioned trailer for Twisters Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos Directed by Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) This is a sequel to the original (since I have seen some confusion since originally it was supposed to be a remake)
RIPPA Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Directed by Wes Ball (The Maze Runner movies) This is set "several generations in the future" of the last movies
RIPPA Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Wicked I can't believe there is actually a trailer. Also note - that there are two movies, they apparently dropped the "Part One" from the title though Elphaba = Cynthia Erivo Glinda = Ariana Grande Madame Morrible = Michelle Yeoh The Wizard = Jeff Goldblum Directed by Jon M. Chu
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 12, 2024 Author Posted February 12, 2024 Just one more you may have missed... (this is the trailer posted a month ago, somewhat different than the one played during the SB) IF Starring Ryan Reynolds, Steve Carrell, and Cailey Fleming Written & Directed by John Krasinski Premieres May 17
Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 John Krasinski got an ovation like he was the Second Coming last night on Colbert. It was kind of shocking, I think even to the both of them. Pretty sure a "SIMMER DOWN" sign flashed where the cameras didn't see it, haha. Ryan Gosling came out after and didn't get the same!
odessasteps Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Boy, my social feed was full of so many twister jokes.if that’s worth anything for the movies future.

Could it have been because the audience expected them to do puke takes?
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 13, 2024 Author Posted February 13, 2024 Sometimes you want a story that will challenge your beliefs. Sometimes you want to see something that will redefine beauty for you. Sometimes you need to be shown where the deepest, darkest emotions you'll ever feel come from. And then sometimes, you need this: I'm going to watch this 50 times looping, non-stop. 3

Curt McGirt Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 I probably watched all three of those as they aired and still didn't understand you
