The Futurist

I am afraid this is will be the fate of any film until ... tic toc tic toc Doomsday Clock Activated.

James Mangold : walking the fine line between the dudebro movie and the dad movie.

You(We) won't contain the Corona virus with leftist values & democracy. What the chinese people are living through right now must be hell in the quarantined areas (how long is that been already ? how do they eat ?) BUT maybe it is what it takes. Would a french/American doctor/citizen go in Wuhan right now to help the people over there ???? Anyone ? Any brave leftist that always has moral superiority on everybody and everything ? Thoutht so. Words, that s always all they have. "Do As I say not as I do". The cacophony I am hearing in France right now is insane, nobody seems to agree on what to do. No policial regime is perfect but I d argue the corona virus may need us to take decisions that people of the military and governments used to take until WWII in the west. Horrible, tough, adult decisions. Decisions where ONE life means nothing. And you start to reason in thousands and millions. I truly, truly hope I am wrong and we won't need to go that far but the scale & scope of the situations in China, Asia,Iran Italy tell me we re in for a very, very rude awakening on how our societies built on giant cities are able to confront such an event both logistically ( food, water, basic supplies, medicines, hygiene, trash etc) and psychologically (people are depressed for anything these days, let s see how they react when just shaking the hands becomes the russian roulette for their entire family and household). If the basic supply chains start to break well ............ People are gonna realize how easy we have had it for decades, us energy and ressources gobblers. Stupid ecologists could have a taste of what they wish for. Always careful for what you wish for.

James Cameron Peter Jackson Martin Scorcese Christopher Nolan Michael Bay David Lean Dennis Villeneuve Russos Brothers David Fincher want to have a word with you.

My screening of Silence was fucking epic. Some guy fell asleep. And he was snoring like an airjet. During a movie called Silence.

That s the thing people don't understand. It is 100 times harder to to do a Matrix than to do a Parasite. Doesn't mean doing a Parasite is easy either. Creating a fantasy/sci-fi/genre world that works in a movie form in just 2 hours(!!!) is 100 times harder than creating a movie set into the utter banality of our world. Just look at the sisters coming back to the beautiful and safe house they built. Trust me, they know this by now. Meanwhile James Mangold, Greta Gerwing, Todd Phillips, Martin Scorcese and QT are praised for Xerox-ing a time period or the banality of our world. Go figure.

Take out ILM, Stan Winston and John Williams and the release date out of JP and see what remains : An exposition that goes on forever. Almost an hour of exposition dump, Nolan himslef would throw up at the mere idea. Annoying kids that are annoying. A vibrating glass. Some good cheap thrills here and there. The first T.Rex attack remains iconic tho, rain and night you say ? Favourite set piece for Warner suits ever !!! Goldblum Goldbluming tho. The CGI revolution in film didn't even started out with JP. Canada is the country you are looking for that.

White Male Privilege.

Because most of their movies don't rely on animals talking making stupip faces & grins or easy pop cultural references.

I just love how serious, sanctimonious, aging cinephiles love to hate Disney with a passion. As if other studios were doing anything different. As if there was any orignilaity in the serious, adult movies they loved last year. As if the movie business was driven by offer and not demand. As if. Seethe my friends. Seethe. 😎

Vin Diesel is an American Treasure.

Pixar needs to branch out and makes its Joker or something. Change ONE ingredient, is that too much to ask ? Or assembly line filmmaking all the way. At this point, Pixar engineers have probably implemented very efficient AI protocols that allow those indistinguishible movies from one another to direct themselves. "Siri, make me a new Pixar movie" and Voilà ! New acclaimed Pixar movie coming right up ! Technology fuk yay !

So there is no place to discuss MCU-DC stuff on the forum I guess ?

When you finally get one fantastic performance from Tom Hardy, you know you have a great director at work so this ealry reception isn't surprising in the least.

Only a 70 yo lifespan can give you that kind of wiseness. Truths are nor polite or kind. They just are. And you have to face them.

Disagree. Remember what you have been tought/brainwashed/enginneered to think. The Clergy is ALWAYS right. In the heads of the members of the Clergy there is no argument to have since there is ONE truth, one way to see the world and people. Don't be silly. Consume,submit & obey.

The shouls have used a CGI Harrison Ford to reduce costs. Bad decision making from Fox suits.

The marketing has a very Bond vibe to it.

If it ain't broke , don't fix it. Coke learned that lesson the very hard way.

But you can ask them to deviate from their tired, happy meal formula.

The last invisible man Holywood movie was Paul Verheoven Hollow Man s no ?

Mulletophobia is hate speech and it will not stand under my watch.

Momoa will unite the sand and sea monsters. It is his destiny.

So true. Just like the MCU.
