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.

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.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Monday, 27 January 2020 14:08 (four years ago) link
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.

My reaction to the Peter Rabbit movies is basically the same reaction I would've had if they'd cast Rob Schneider as Mr. Rogers.

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)
also this is terrible-great obv:

lol i also immediately thought "an Altered Beast movie could be cool." but it's also something that really should have come out in the mid-90s, with effects and vibe basically equivalent to Spawn crossed with idk Dragonheart.
