“Every day, I come by your house and I pick you up.

[DavidCroquet]

what the fuck...I genuinely thought people were exaggerating or being silly with it...

I almost respect the audacity.

[Potato]

Don't...

If the second movie isn't a full on comedy, I'll be disgusted.

[Snoopy]

Lost Boys. I haven't watched it for ages but it still stands up. Seeing it again after all these years of Feldman being a madman it really hits home how badly drugs fucked his career.

[Potato]

Denis Villeneuve to direct next James Bond film. 

[chronovore]

Holy shit. 28 Years Later. Fucking awful movie. DO. NOT. UNDER. ANY. CIRCUMSTANCES. WATCH. THIS. SHIT.

The two things I’ve seen people saying about it are

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

there are Jimmy Saville power rangers using ninjutsu to fight infected?

there’s a 7ft tall infected guy throughout the movie, with his foot long hog flopping all over the place?

I did appreciate the “28 inches later“ joke I saw flopping around, to borrow your phrasing.

I went to see the F1 movie with Brad Pitt.

It's a well produced film but basically Top Gun with race cars. I loved it but if you're not much of a (casual) F1 fan there's probably a lot of references, cameos and jokes you won't get.

[Potato]

American F1 drivers...lol, as if!

[Nintex]

I thought they handled that pretty well.

He's basically

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Loose cannon and support driver. He fucks up the grid and causes red flags and safety cars with agressive driving so the other guy can get ahead.

[Snoopy]

Looks great

I need to make an effort to catch it while I can. I regret not watching Top Gun in imax. Being too busy I haven’t watched Mission Impossible yet.

Soooooo uhhhhhhh Days Of Thunder then?

[Nintex]

Well deserved.

[Tucker's Law]

I thought F1 was great.  Didn't break any new ground story-wise, but what it did do is told its story well, with solid characters played well by all the actors, and the audio/visual experience itself was excellent.  I hope it does very well.

I watched it with a F1 savvy audience so I could always tell by audience reactions when a cameo appeared. Still a great movie though even if you don't know much about current day F1

Bring her back 12/10

Probably one of the best movies ever made, no jokes

28 Years Later 

Watching Brad drive a car was more exciting than watching a coming of age story in the zombie apocalypse

[Nintex]

I dunno there is something interesting about swimming pools in movies. Cinematography wise. I get it.

[chronovore]

Criterion channel is the most interesting streaming service available.

[Snoopy]

Ghost World is on Criterion. Watched it a few days ago. It's still pretty great.

[Potato]

Superman is...pretty damn terrible. 

It should be good. Actors are fine, scenario is fine, action is fine, CGI is passable. 

The script though...Jesus it's rough. Unnecessary exposition just constantly rammed into the audience's face, terrible dialogue, complete lack of transitions. Just scenes pasted together with little thought of how one moves to the next. 

The choice to go in media res and not really spend any time developing anyone's motivations or character. 

I'll give Gunn some credit for going full superhero comic book tone, but I hate comic books for a reason.

This DC reboot is off to a very rough start.

I saw the green book last night.

I was honestly expecting alot more racism.

[Potato]

There's nothing overly wrong with it as a story. It's just a really poorly made film.

This review is pretty accurate...

From what I’ve seen, there’s a divide between American and non- critics. Non-Americans reviews are “wow this is stupid bullshit for bedwetters”. And the American reviews say the same, but it’s a plus. Because many Americans view the world through fictional media for children.

[Eric Cartman]

Do we need to bring back the capeshit thread?

KEEP IN MIND I AIN'T SEEN THIS SHIT YET, SO WILL WALK BACK ANY AND ALL TAKES IF NECESSARY

That review makes it sound great!

transplanted from the shitbin:

Love that all the talk about All-Star Superman "inspiration" was merely Gunn poaching random shit like Snyder poaching panels. And that Hollywood will probably continue to be immune to poaching any of the coherent plots or ever digging past the canon of "CBR MUST READ" works that often aren't even that good.

I think its more about 'the vibes' in just leaning into the silver age weird shit instead of trying to ground everything in pseudo science like 'the metagene', as well as efficiency of story telling.

Capeshit has been the default movie experience for well over a decade now.
You don't need to have a slow burn "HOLY SHIT, THAT PERSON CAN FLY???" crowd reaction to acclimatise movie goers.

Its like the action film genre has moved from "This guy is super trained special forces, and is going to cat and mouse the bad guys one by one to take them out" to "Uhhh this guy used to be a mob something or whatever and retired, yada yada yada, but now hes back and will go into a room of 20 people half his age and hardcore fuck them all up then drop a cool line as hes leaving and looks back at them"

I consider that neither witty nor absurd. In fact, I consider the entire premise both highly stupid and insulting because I'm tired of self-proclaimed elites going on and on about how everyone else is brainwashed by whatever they see as we, the audience, pat ourselves on the back for not being like that even as it's happening at the very moment.

...

The idea that people would suddenly stop trusting and start hating Superman years into his career makes absolutely no sense to me. Perhaps I'm missing a nuance in which the only people who takes any of it seriously is Clark and Lois who take it overly seriously as if there's nothing else and see everything as confirming it, while everyone else in the world continues on appreciating Superman as if the "online hate mob" doesn't even exist but I'd be highly skeptical you'd ever see that depicted in any kind of blockbuster movie.

Nah, this is all very comic booky, as above; the first post-Crisis event crossover was Glorious Godfrey as Rush Limbaugh using the 80s equivalent of social media to wormtongue people against capes.
A contemporary version of that is fine. Especially if you consider what kind of fucking terrifying dystopia a world full of super powers really would be like to live in.

Honestly, I lot of people are going to be more pissed off about:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Making Kryptonians world conquering assholes

That also seems pretty consistent with a lot of their portrayals, I would say ever since Alan Moores "For The Man Who Has Everything".
Its also been the standard portrayal of Daxamites who just got fucked on the RNG of what their equivalent Kryptonite is being way more fucking common.

[benji]

Legends has Godfrey using his magical God powers to whip up crowds directly. I think what Max Lord does in Wonder Woman 1984 is far more comparable. Boredfrom seemed to indicate the anti-Superman crowd was Luthor planted, I'm not sure about that but I find it acceptable enough. Luthor running all kinds of schemes, including ones that aren't accomplishing anything seems fine, that's basically what he was doing post-Crisis, and usually through shell companies. I actually would think the plot is better served by Luthor having all these schemes, and then Superman falls into his lap randomly because Superman turns himself in, something Luthor couldn't fathom from a powerful person.

I agree completely on no need to explain anything, unlike everyone else I have zero problem with this not being an origin story, I don't want to see origin stories ever again. One positive thing to say about the MCU is how superheroes keep just showing up and them trusting people to get it. "Yeah, he's Spider-Man but he's a kid now, got it?" The Snyderverse mostly avoided this too. I hope that's a sign the corporations seem to have finally listened to the comic people that you don't need to keep doing origins. (Not that comic people can't stop doing them.)

The people turning against Superman stuff reminds me of the Truth storyline in the New 52, where they couldn't at all sell that people had suddenly turned against Superman especially because everyone he interacted with was like "don't worry Supes, I got you." Even as almost nobody else was shown as actually wanting to hunt down Superman but a couple bad guys. Even when he has adventures with Gordon in the Batsuit Robot Gordon is all like "I knew another guy who was technically illegal." Groan.

[killamajig]

With all this Superman talk you guys are making me have to watch this. 

Let's see if this movie cures me of being a chud.

[Eric Cartman]

The MCU tries to have its cake and eat it too, because while it will drop some comic ass comicness, it will then also have a side character go "WOAH, ISNT THAT COMIC ASS COMIC THING FUCKING WILD? ARE WE IN A COMIC BOOK?" which is weeeelllllll past its welcome outside of character shtick like Deadpool
