Lounge of Justice - Part 90

Ending the year on a high! Something I worked on will play across country on your tv! Less than a 60 second spot, but still a win. Should play in the middle of next year.

Congratulations.

Rewatching Tenet trailer, easily my most anticipated film. (Besides SC. )

What is SC?

What is SC?

I love your avatar. That movie is a masterpiece compared to Resident Evil. Plus it was just a nice fun movie.

 

[flickchick85]

What is SC?

Snyder Cut, I presume.

You are correct, this charming fun movie is all the more superb when Resident Evil exists.

Snyder Cut, I presume.

That version coming out is as likely as the release of a Hannibal movie reunion starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, possibly even less.

Interesting to see critics dump on Witcher to prop up Mandalorian which is a garbage show beyond the first couple eps. I don’t know what to think about these reviews.

No. He talks a big game about lots of comic book properties. His Thor was supposed to be epic but never got off the ground. He bailed on X-Men Last Stand at the last second and backed away from any First Class sequels. He talks about what he would do with Fantastic Four.

He criticized Superman Returns and other takes on Superman but when he supposedly met with WB March 2017 about Superman he couldn't do it because Mark Millar was busy at the time and Millar was the one with the story. Vaughn didn't have any story of his own, didn't have the confidence to plot one with anyone else.

used the meeting with WB for Flash to bargain for Kingsman 2 according to Kroll

Congrats, man!

I remember Kroll tweeting that possibility after the trades reported Vaughn as one of three possible Flash directors alongside Zemeckis and Sam Raimi. Flash ended up with none of them.

Nice, loved him in Boardwalk Empire. (That series was better than Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones, dunno why it wasn't more popular).

So, The Rise of Skywalker...

Most of my life I could never muster enough interest to watch the original trilogy. The first Star Wars movie I have watched was Revenge of the Sith and I enjoyed it quite a bit in 2005. but took me a while to fully watch another Star Wars movie.

When I finally watched all six Star Wars movies prior to the Disney acquisition I felt no love for the original trilogy, but enjoyed some of the cheese and cool action presented in the prequels sans the Phantom Menace. Upon revisiting them I could not really feel what made the original trilogy of franchise considered as some of the best movies ever made. Fights are slow and uninteresting, and characters are not that great, most of what I see gets quoted as memorable lines are meme material.


A NEW HOPE: Has too much bickering, poor rescue attempts that succeed out of foolishness and luck, and heavy on plot induced stupidity of the empire. The Death Star was destroyed cause an amateur was able to use the force against the machine while being chased by a professional pilot/force user/assault officer.


THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: Venerable field commander Luke Skywalker leaves the field mid battle to chase the commands of a ghost who allowed himself to get killed in the previous movie by his former student gone rogue. The love between Leia and Han is unearned and came out of the left field.

• Leia: "I love you"
• Han: "I know"

And this love confession came after Leia confessed she loves Luke not Han, and most of what these two characters did was bicker among themselves. Then there is the matter of the overrated character introduced for two scenes in this movie famously known as Bobba Fett.


RETURN OF THE JEDI: More bickering between Han and Leia, Luke and Leia are twins all of a sudden, ghost Anakin is now a good guy with his dead pals? What?


Enough summary of why each individual movie is overrated on its own. Why is Darth Vader considered to be a great villain? Bane in the Dark Knight Rises is a better general who is more menacing and proactive in the field, and he has the reputation of being a lapdog for being the second in command for Talia AlGhul. Darth Vader is loved despite a similar revelation and is considered to be one of the best cinematic villains of all time, yet all he did was force choke some of soldiers to keep them from questioning him and chop the hand of his son. The death of Obi Wan is not an achievement of his cause as I said in A New Hope summary; the teacher allowed the fatal blow to hit him.

Bane in TDKR is not the only better cinematic representation of Darth Vader's reputation that doesn't really apply to him, look at the character in my avatar and you'll see another superior Darth Vader, and he's not even the underling of someone, M. Bison in the 1994 live action was ambitious to set his currency value really high, and he had his city planned by himself, he wasn't joined as someone's mouthpiece to be garnishing.


I appreciate the value of the original trilogy in its positive impact on cinema as a visual art and on blockbusters when it comes to pushing boundaries, I can feel entertained by good elements in them, but beside that its flaws hold it back from being the impressive and entertaining thing it is celebrated to be.

The Witcher

Watched the first 4 episodes. A trashy/ bloody fantasy type. Never played the games or read the books. Eh, not bad but not great either. Cavill is good in the action scenes, but he is by far the weakest actor in most of his scenes. Yeah, I definitely want a recast for Supes asap. One of the few good things are the lead actresses, which only adds a dagger into Cavill's performance, but like my lady was saying through out the episodes. ''He is so pretty to look at''. I think this character in the hands of another actor could've been a bit better, but the show ain't going for any award noms. Also, Netflix has goddamn money, I don't know why some of the cgi and cinematography look damn cheap! SYFY channel type cheap. I betcha Amazon is going to make that LoR series look great, and looking back at GoT, at least HBO paid money to make them dragons come to life. Hell, the dragons in that ''Eragon'' flick from 2006 looked better than all of the cgi used here.

I put 'The Witcher' in the Jerry Springer category of highfantasy type shows. Good enough to watch with one hand down your pants. Eh, will finish it and will eventually watch season 2.

Perfect encapsulation of my thoughts! The PT, for all its flaws, was definitely more interesting than the OT. I'm not too high on it, and like everyone, wanted to love them but I just couldn't.

One of the criticisms that annoy me the most is the claim (even by Critics !) that Aquaman movie did not have enough practical sets, props and everything was CGI, and that they did very little on location shoots, that's not exactly true, James Wan posted some BTS photos. (more on Aquaman threads)

Look at all that CGI, everything is CGI !!!111
