I agree with the sentiment , but saying that this “cost human lives” means a different thing than what happened. But yes, I loved this movie, and it sucks that people were upset with the conditions under which it was made. 

Yeah at this point the studios dont really have the practical effects infrastructure to go back to that as a way to wait out the Union, so they would be 100% crippled for all of their Tentpole movies, which is where a lot of the studios profits come from.

I understand the logistics of getting VFX workers to strike is many magnitudes of order more difficult than the WGA and other industry unions, but they absolutely need to figure out some way to cobble together a majority of the work force to do so. A VFX strike, in today’s CGI dependent world, could be resolved within…

Yeah, one of the worst parts of all this is that the people running the show, like Lord and Pascal, with the actual power and influence to change things, seem to have no interest in doing so.

You know, you CAN love the final product and still be dissapointed with how the studio abuses the VFX workers.

Ha! I actually had completely forgotten the Quartermain films until I saw your post. Good call though, clearly should have been included.

Crazy how Zemeckis was one of the great American directors of the ‘80s and then he became obsessed with his CGI wax museums.

Yes! and I’d even include the old TV series Tales of the Gold Monkey!

man, these ai-written slideshows get worse by the day...

Where the hell is Romancing the Stone (and its sequel)? As far as Indy imitators go, it’s not only the first out of the gate, but it was also very influential in its own right. Half the adventure movies on this list steals its its romance dynamic.

No Alan Quartermain or Romancing the Stone?

I think it comes down to relevance. Satine was a peacemaker in a society of warriors. Her political dream was essentially a failed experiment followed by a galactic coup followed by a genocide from which the pacifists did not survive, only the warriors did. And not many of them.

Satine may have been a subject better avoided for Bo-Katan and her disparate clans during Mandalorian season 3. The whole New Mandalorian movement was radical and controversial to the point that Bo-Katan moved against her own sister with Death Watch. Obviously she regretted that choice and changed sides but was too…

Ya know... I think I have three words for this.

Wait for it.

But in her wake, as Star Wars has pushed deeper into Mandalorian storytelling, it’s like Satine has vanished from memory. Why?

Trump is a child. The last person who speaks to him is the one he listens to. And that’s alarmingly a documented fact. Physical proximity to him is apparently the move.

“Big DeSantis Energy”

“If you wanna get to President Trump, you’re gonna have to go through me, and you’re gonna have to go through 75 million Americans just like me,” Lake recently said at an event in Georgia. “And most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA. That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.”

None of this is surprising. We’ve heard stories in the past of how Trump would require candidates to spend X amount at his resorts in return for him endorsing them.

I would love a sequel to “The Long Kiss Goodnight” reuniting Jackson and Gina Davis, and with Brie Larson starring as Gina Davis’ now-adult daughter. It is never ever going to happen, but I want it all the same.
