It’s bad in terms of story and acting, but if you’re into visuals it’s fairly inventive for the time. Apparently the movie as it was originally shot was said to be decent/pretty good but Miramax demanded cuts to make it more like the first movie (because of course Weinstein wanted it that way). The director disowned…

Excuse me, but that’s clearly Peter Lorre.

From my understanding the color grading was kind of forced on them at the last minute because they had initially intended it to be black and white and they ended up having to recolor it (which led to the budget being even more inflated).

The biggest problem with World of Tomorrow, and you can tell if you watch the special features on the DVD, the producer basically railroaded the director by telling him “We’ll get Angelina, Law, and Paltrow in your first movie!” and completely blew up the budget. The director even says that Jude Law was in the…

The Phantom is excellent and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary.

Yeah, I have no problems laughing at this.

Yup. I think the last time I remember seeing anything like this was for the first Abrams Star Trek. Stuff like this just helped a movie feel like a real event instead of just “the current number one movie until the next one rolls out in two weeks.”

This is going to be nostalgic as hell for me, but it kind of bums me out that we don’t get promotional stuff like this anymore. I’d drink out of an MCU themed version of one of those cups every damn day.

Here’s the thing about Batman Forever, and this is in no way me defending it: It’s not a bad movie for the big things it gets wrong. It does get some big things wrong (Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face being the biggest thing) but that’s not the big reason it fails. It fails from a series of minor decisions that add up. The…

This is why I sincerely hope that Quill’s arc for Vol. 3 is that it’s time for him to grow the hell up.

I had a theory about that song, and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m mentally jumping through some serious hoops here, that she intended for it to be controversial as a kind of “Hey, America, remember this douchebag?” because right after the song came out it’s like for five minute people were talking about him…

I can’t remember their name but a woman who left the group said Kruek ended up leaving before things got too weird/criminal.

Oddly enough I actively avoided this movie for years. I used to laugh at it for being an edgelord movie. I didn’t watch it until I was 21 after a friend had passed away and I was surprised at how good it was, if only because of the moody cinematography, soundtrack, Ernie Hudson, and Brandon Lee (who I seriously think…

I maintain my belief that if Brandon Lee hadn’t died Johnny Depp wouldn’t have a career today. Say what you will about how well the movie has or hasn’t aged (I think it’s a perfect time capsule movie), but Lee’s performance is still every bit as electric as it was the day the film was released.

But the ice is slippery.

I love The Shadow whole-heartedly, though it does certainly seem to be Baldwin trying his best to make up for turning down Batman. His Shadow laugh is perfection, though.

Yup. I attribute half of Overwatch’s success to the fact that it has emblematic characters that aren’t the stereotypical space marine style.

I take so much flak from people because i personally believe that so long as there is a company or entity to maintain a copyright that it shouldn’t lapse.

He’s the Lance Armstrong of competitive classic gaming.

I say let that perception stay ruined. It just means thighs will stay cheap and the rest of us who know better will reap the benefits.
