i like that post-apocalyptic Vegas shows that, even though its premises had been upgraded with the newest of technologies prior to its obliteration, they were all still fetishizing the same shit (Elvis, Sinatra)....

hellboy 2 had a few cool moments ie the angel of death thing and the golden army

Haven't seen it since it came out, and was just planning to re-watch the first one, but I recall Hellboy 2 being really visually striking, even beautiful at times.

on the blade runner topic, I still think it was kind of cliched and dumb that out of all the places in the world, Deckard was in Las Vegasdoes the whole world only include southern california and western nevada, idk

is it too late to keep prodding tom so i can troll him into writing a few thousand words about a movie he disliked

Wait, Neil Marshall is doing Hellboy? Eh. I liked Dog Soldiers, I loved The Descent, I thought Doomsday was just a dumb John Carpenter riff, didn't see Centurion and he's been stuck doing TV (I don't want to see) ever since. Which makes this his first feature in almost a decade? Whole effort seems pretty b-list.

What I was alluding to re: JRPG cutscenes - these are almost universally goofy; anime people against incredible looking matte painting backgrounds, in service of a plot that seems complex but is really just a lot of misdirection and meanders, because every JRPG is about Overcoming the Monster - and that’s how this movie worked too. The Big Bad literally crushed the romantic interest under her boot, and then K tanks Luv despite his shitty DPS. Anyway the point of this, I guess, is why would anyone spend 2.5 hours and 6 dollars for this experience when you can spend 50 dollars and 70 hours and get to watch lots of numbers increase in the process? Um

Also as Andrew pointed out the tits in this movie are actually obtrusive. Villeneuve has a hentai collection.

your 'big anime titties' argument has convinced me, blade runner 2049 is garbage

the movie IS garbage. so is the last jedi, for pretty much the same reason... they know the fanbase will do the work of making a terrible movie into a great movie, so what is the point of making a real effort? it's money in the bank no matter how badly you fuck it up.

Yea the issue is clearly "effort"

wasting all your effort on CGI instead of the screenplay, yeah

I think we expect movies in a series to do way too much. Some standalone film, we’re lucky if we get anything more than stock charactersimo the best franchises are the ones with minimal character progression and you can watch one without having seen a few and just kind of drop back inthe fast/furious franchise is the pinnacle of modern genre cinema
