Sigh.

Your opinion of the first three matches mine completely, and I also was not expecting much out of JW4.

Rolling on the river in the sky.

Well, nothing makes garbage look appealing more than the immediate alternative being shit, I suppose. There needs to be more good mermaid/sea monster maiden movies.

This looks way more appealing to me than another soulless Disney remake cash-grab.

Yeah, really surprised that wasn’t on the list.

Yes! Thank you. And you’re right. Already your grading looks much, much better. It’s a bit on the red side, but at least that looks more natural. It doesn’t have that ugly, unnatural grey wash over everything like someone turned the contrast dial down because they didn’t know any better.

Like John Wick himself, your comment does not miss.

SERIOUSLY. It’s ridiculous how much of a snooze the musical numbers in these remakes are. With all our modern technology, you’d think they’d know how to make things pop in a way they never could before.

As a professional video editor, the atrocious color grading on most of these shots makes my eye twitch. Why the hell do 3/4 of the shots from this movie look like the raw footage from a Black Magic camera, pre-color correction?

Congrats. You passed. Your certificate is in the mail.

Who even knows at this point? For all we know, the “Nick Fury” we’re seeing in this series isn’t even the actual Fury, but just Talos wearing his face to keep up appearances while the real one is still up in space as seen in The Marvels.

Oh, I would bet it’s Cruise. Both because (1) he’s always been a bigger star/box office draw than Reeves, and (2) Reeves seems like the kind of guy who doesn’t care about endlessly growing, monetarily-speaking. He’d rather have the rest of crew paid well than set some kind of record in star pay.

It’s so stark going back to an article from, say, 2015 and seeing hundreds of comments. The comments section hasn’t been robust like that in so long, it seems.

This is why I’ve gone pretty much cold-turkey on any app that isn’t Discord, because I just use that as a message board to hang out with the friends I’d want to text with anyway.

Well, with Dean Devlin saying “It was gonna be like Rocky III,” I’m now picturing that it was going to be a build-up to a boxing match between Will Smith’s Hiller character and a roided-out version of one of the aliens. Oh, and a montage of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum training on the beach, complete with Epic Bro-Hug.

I said before that Winona Ryder damn well better be in this, and now that I know that she is, I’m all in, too.

There’s also a possibility that this is a flashback and they’re going to digitally de-age her, or something.

Huh.

You and I in the same boat, my dude.
