I’m not saying the franchise has any morality to it, but that doesn’t make it torture porn.

They have a comforting format, just like any other horror franchise, and they have an inexplicably deep lore that makes the whole franchise fascinating to watch. It’s telling a whole story over multiple movies instead of just resetting itself like msot other franchises.

So I guess I really need to watch VIXEN now, considering these totem things have suddenly become super-important.

The Shallows was super-underrated and basically turned my whole opinion around on Lively.

I don’t mind him. He’s a dweeb in real life but a perfectly fine actor.

There’s no fucking way that Dredd could have ripped off TRR. Dredd was basically in pre-production and about to start shooting before Redemption had done anything, and Garland had been floating that script for a while.

“ and having black guys repeating the n word over and over in his movies so white bros can quote it afterwards ”

Remember, any hyper-comapntent female in a gemnre story is a Mary Sue, but any hyper-comaptent male is just, you know, part of the universe.

Hey man, you do you. I’ll take any continuity from the old site I can get.

And that’s a bad thing because...?

“Also, GitS 2 is better than the first one imho.”

I appreciate that Jesse coming into the comments to throw bombs hasn’t changed since the Kinja-ing.

“Just what this universe needed—another male protagonist.”

Shane Black was never going to be high on the list. Even if you write the best action movie screenplays of all time, action movies are still considered the lowest class of filmmaking. A jury of his peers was never going to change that.

I liked Keanu fine, but it barely had a screenplay.

Vince was pretty bad in TruD Season 2, but I admired his commitment to delivering some of the worst dialogue I’ve ever heard in my entire life with utter commitment. Dude treated every like like it was Shakespeare.

He’s apparently in Molly’s Game, which is supposed to be pretty good.

I’d still love to see someone with an actual vision take a crack at this. It’s such a juicy idea for a horror-thriller that it’s a shame that both the original and seemingly this remake devolve into “What if ghost memories but too much” for their third acts.

This was entertainingly dopey. It’s less ofa movie then Doug Liman’s GOODFELLAS fan-film starring Tom Cruise, but the collection of weird stylistic choices and the endless parade of character actors make it pretty fun to watch.

That A-TEAM remake is fucking great, up there with MAN FROM UNCLE in the “How is this movie actually good” awards.
