    Interstellar doesn’t count. It got strong contemporary reviews and is still liked by letterboxd film bros but I think that’s about as far as it goes. honestly, if we’re doing Nolan films then Tenet has a better shout: deservedly or not you can see a cult forming around it now as a misunderstood gem

    Edit: wrong thread
  3. Hatebox
    All ghostbusters sequels are bad. We all know this, so why are we arguing?
  4. Hatebox
    I feel pretty confident in predicting that at this point is his career Nolan’s not going to do a remake of a 60s tv show, no matter how iconic.

    Why is Kong so big? I thought trailer was garbage but I guess it was just the right big dumb movie at the right time?

    Take that payday, Florence!

    ^ well it’s settled then, the movie will be brilliant. Thanks for putting our worries to bed, grace

    which is funny because total recall did the whole red pill thing first
  9. Hatebox
    That seems… optimistic

    Said it before when this topic comes up, but cinema needs to decide whether it’s cheap entertainment or a luxury experience. Because right now, where I live at least, it feels like neither. I want to want to go to it more, but it’s just not selling itself.

    Musical numbers operate beyond logic regardless, so might as well do something original instead of riding existing coattails.
  12. Hatebox
    Not a musicals fan but ‘reinterpreted jukebox hits’ sounds waaay less interesting than original numbers. Songs people already know is the path of least resistance

    Is ghostbusters even making 200m ww? Surely even Sony won’t think it’s worth carrying on if that’s the ceiling…

    but it is there. They’re the most popular replies on the ghostbusters subreddit. I’m sorry that’s an inconvenient truth, and I agree it’s a shame that’s where some of them ended up, but it’s still fair game to comment on. #NotAllGhostbustersFans
  15. Hatebox
    Nothing manufactured - there’s post after conspiratorial post on the subreddit taking that stance. https://www.reddit.com/r/ghostbusters/s/NvAj45GLli Like it not, that’s the online fanbase right now, such as it is.

    Not going to say my age but suffice it to say GB’84 was a cultural touchstone for me on par with star wars for 70s kids. Proton pack toys, figurines, lunch boxes, the lot. doesn’t stop me looking at the mental gymnastics going on from big chunks of the current fanbase right now and thinking “fucking hell”

    The ghostbusters subreddit is convinced critics are being harsh over this because they’re still sore from the audience rejection of the 2016 film. Which, on the pathetic scale, must put them up there with the Snyder fandom

    I rewatched it recently for the first time in at least 20 years. My main reaction was that it was way more adult than I remember despite ostensibly being an edgy family movie, to the point where if it came out today it’d probably get (unfairly) criticised for being tonally inconsistent. My second reaction was “I forgot Hollywood used to allow films to be short”

    I suspect Levi’s directing this in the same way Kosinski directed top gun maverick: technically in charge but all meaningful decision run by its producer-star
  20. Hatebox
    I adored the 2016 movie. Not having a written script with setups and punchlines was such a radical, exciting approach
  21. Hatebox
    Trailer creators not using a slowed-down, haunting rendition of an upbeat pop song challenge. It’s beyond parody now.
  22. Hatebox
    This is now the second time gosling has said “I’m not the hero of this story” in a movie.
  23. Hatebox
    Reading the meltdowns on the ghostbusters subreddit and it’s striking how much they act like superhero fanboys. Because, I suppose, that’s essentially what sony has turned the franchise into: an earnest action film rather than a silly comedy
  24. Hatebox
    Can’t even be bothered to be snarky. So I’ll just say: this was fuckin predictable
  25. Hatebox
    His next film should be a live-action remake of the Simpsons
