Pretty sure Fantasy Island came out and (unsurprisingly) got abysmal reviews
New Bond just got bumped again to Autumn
― groovypanda, Thursday, 14 January 2021 07:47 (three years ago) link
Fantasy Island was theatrically released in the United States on February 14, 2020 by Sony Pictures Releasing to overwhelmingly negative reviews. Despite this, the film was a box office success, grossing $48 million worldwide against its $7 million production budget.

Scoob! has been dumped to VOD, and is apparently not merely bad, but another failed universe-starter: I’m not really spoiling anything, but the movie switches from being a Scooby-Doo movie to a vehicle to introduce various “B” level Hanna Barbera characters.

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), Tuesday, January 28, 2020 1:04 AM (eleven months ago)

I saw Fantasy Island, The Grudge and Brahms the Boy in the cinema so they were released in the UK at least. I wouldn't recommend them.
The Fantasy Island film is a prequel and Jimmy O Yang becomes Tattoo.

damn, good work sic.i'm pretty sure Croods 2 and Trolls World Tour both came out during quarantine. there must have been some general studio calculus that lost box office bucks were a fair trade for streaming service loyalty from frazzled parents, desperate for their kids to put something DIFFERENT on for twenty times in a row.

actually no I was really irritated by it, all they had to do was follow the Jackass template and it would've been great but they tried to shoehorn a plot into it
so it was half good

Saw The Invisible Man (very good) and P.S. I Still Love You (already forgotten it). Haven't seen the new Bill & Ted yet, but I've heard good things.
I don't know if I should even bother doing one of these polls this year, considering that a lot of this stuff was/is pushed back. Let's meet here again in 2022.
― Langdon Alger Stole the Highlights (cryptosicko), Thursday, 14 January 2021 19:10 (three years ago) link
Bill & Ted is at least as good as you reasonably could hope for a 30-years-later threequel, while obviously showing seams of losing 1/3 of their budget immediately before production, and then losing the ability to shoot a planned ending and pickups due to pandemic.
(You can also see the edges of a planned plotline that got cut for budget before the shooting script.)

I've always wondered what was going through the heads of the guys who poured the foundations, did the brickwork, etc. How did that wacky factory get built, is what I wanna know!
― Vladislav Bibidonurtmi (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 17:46 (three years ago) link
Hopefully this sets the stage for more prequels about famous fictional buildings. Film audiences are hungry for effortlessness!
― Vladislav Bibidonurtmi (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 17:48 (three years ago) link
haha yeah, the whole movie is just gonna be wonka meeting with city officials to get the permits.
"ok, so the building will be 5-square miles in area, 500 feet tall, and will go even further underground. also, there will be a nightmare cave."
― boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 17:57 (three years ago) link
climax scene is inspectors telling Wonka his buildings aren't up to code as they're made up entirely of food.
and Wonka killing them

Netflix is currently working on its own Wonka content, with Taika Waititi (Thor: Love and Thunder) writing, directing, and executive producing two animated series based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One will be a more traditional adaptation, while the second provides a wholly original take on Wonka's singing factory workers: Oompa-Loompas.
It's Wonka-mania out there.

I'm expecting Coming 2 America to be an experience a little like The Force Awakens -- I will have an involuntary wide-eyed smile and reflexively chuckle throughout the movie but it will be purely a pavlovian response to various cues in the film. I will walk away remembering almost none of it.

HBO MAX announces 'VELMA,' an adult animated comedy series telling the origin story of Velma Dinkley, the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. voiced by Mindy Kaling.
― shivers me timber (sic), Thursday, 11 February 2021 06:11 (three years ago) link
Stunt casted v.o. is taking food out of the mouth of actual voice actors!
― Canon in Deez (silby), Thursday, 11 February 2021 06:14 (three years ago) link
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was about the kids in primary school, already friends and solving mysteries together.
Velma was mostly the same as her older incarnation—intelligent and soft-spoken with thick eyeglasses. The most evident change to her character was that she owned a briefcase-sized mobile computer that could determine who the culprit was in any particular episode. Velma also owned an oversized engine-propelled skateboard with a color scheme similar to the Mystery Machine, which all the characters could ride on. She had a distinctive gait during longer walks or runs (rapidly-shuffling feet), and a distinctive dance style borrowed from Peanuts character 5 (as he appears during the dance scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas)
The subsequent series What's New, Scooby Doo? included
a flashback to Velma's fifth birthday, using the character designs from A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, albeit with some modifications, such as Daphne wearing purple rather than pink. Fred and Velma were the only returning characters to speak in the flashback
So if it properly respects Scooby canon, this "adult-focused comedy" will be about the adventures of a four-year-old or younger girl.
