I wondered who voted for bobs burgers! People are well disposed toward the show and I liked what little I’ve seen but yeah the thing of making a slightly longer episode of a sitcom and releasing it to theatres is its own kind of cynicism

I wouldn't want to engage in hyperbole in any way, but I would like everyone who was involved with BBII in any way, extras, dolly grip, set catering, cinema ushers, DVD production plant workers, to be locked up in alcatraz and the key thrown away, also anyone who watched it and doesn't agree with this course of action should go there too.

And giving good reviews to its sequel, even if it's brilliant and nothing like the last one, this also lands you in jail.

...he retired after The Beach Bum? for how long, two weeks?
Just watched Beach Bum last week btw and he was entertaining, though it felt like a Happy Madison scene floating in the middle of a Korine film

i sorta wish i'd voted for "Minions: The Rise of Gru." haven't seen any of these but if i'm not mistaken, this is the fifth film and Gru is the main character --- they're just now getting around to his rise?? it's a rare achievement for the fourth sequel to actually make all previous entries seem even more pointless, just by its title.
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 16 January 2020 14:18 (four years ago) link
I haven't seen one second of anything Minion-related beyond trailers and the like but the entire enterprise just feels to me like an animated adaptation of chronic depression.

i've experienced both chronic depression and the minion movie and if i had to do one of them again i'd 100% choose the former over the latter

Didn't even notice the Minions sequel, would have voted that. Probably my brain was trying to protect me. Minions must be among the top 5 worst movies I've seen in a theater

I saw Parasite yesterday in a packed 6:00pm screening and the previews were: Ghostbusters AfterlifeTop Gun Mavericksome kind of Bourne-related tv show on amazon (doubly wtf)Black WidowIn the Heights
I'm allergic to Lin Manuel Miranda's whole deal, but it seemed quasi-miraculous after the others. Part of Parasite's surprising success in N America must be related to how thoroughly demoralizing sitting through those trailers felt. Top Gun in particular played like a witless parody of the thread phenomenon.

Yesterday I saw a trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 that makes me more optimistic--soundtracked to "Blue Monday" and featuring gloriously lol-80s graphic effects. I think I'm going to have to see this for the art direction if nothing else.
― Life is a banquet and my invitation was lost in the mail (j.lu), Monday, 27 January 2020 14:04 (four years ago) link
Studios will look at the success of Parasite and the failure of Terminator and they will still say, hmmm, looks like nobody has made a film adaptation of the beloved '80s sitcom Small Wonder, let us throw $800 million at that idea and see how much of it winds up straight in the toilet.

I saw that trailer too, but was disappointed that it had some weird version of Blue Monday with rock guitars. :(

Least promising Sequel/Remake/Franchise Flick of 2020
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 08:23 (four years ago) link
fuck offBad Boys for Life
Bad Boys for Life
watched this for free and: it's aight. the absence of Bay leaves the filmmmakers vaguely enabled to make the film about something and to not invade another country for lols. it's not about much: just aging, and growing apart, and the value of retaining some capability to change and adapt in your later years. but these themes are woven into the plot, events and action, not smeared hastily on as an afterthought. handing over the reins to younger fans works in a similar way that it did on American Wedding, or the Gibbons bros' crossmedia revitalisation of Alan Partridge, but can't get much deeper than Bad Boys already had room for. solid 3/10.
Literally every single trailer I saw before it was for a sequel or franchise flick though.

luckily i'm busy with actual grown-up paid writing work currently (not enough! commission me ilx!) but as someone who as a kid read and reread the many dolittle books many many times i am kind of intrigued enough by this i'm guessing ghastly zombie franchise to want to watch it all from scratch and write it all up
(i saw the rex harrison as a kid and i guess quite liked it, i like that windward islands locals in st lucia's marigot bay keep bits of the shattered fragments of the giant pink sea snail as exotic-ironic decoration in their garden)
