Isn’t Pete’s Dragon a live action remake? Got a B+ on AVclub, and it has to be better than Pinnocchio.

Is this a movie? I believe Danny McBride and David Gordon Green and Jody Hill are doing a Hellraiser TV series.

It’s not just hiring “more”, it’s like you said, it shouldn’t be left to the VFX team to be even making these entire 3rd act scenes from scratch. Marvel needs to rely on more practical work, actually have the director involved filming with the actual actors, blocking the scene properly, and then have the VFX put on…

I was always more down on Black Panther than the general consensus, all because of that awful 3rd act subway fight. It killed the movie for me, so I’m glad to see it being called out by the VFX artists for how bad it was. It was clear that there was next to no practical work done, so I’m not shocked to hear it was…

Isn’t the entire Marvel thing for teenagers?

People will try to act like this is just natural, it’s what audiences want. But that of course ignores that studios (Disney especially) have become overly restrictive with theaters, not allowing any say in the amount of screens they can show their movies and for how long. Everything is crowded out, it’s all the new…

He has a real point, but he used the wrong movie and that’s all the pedants will talk about. “he was only 15, he couldn’t even get into Goodfellas”. “Goodfellas only made $40M at the box office”.

...i have trouble believing this one lol.

Just watching the trailer and hearing everyone say “ToronTo”, including supposed born and raised Torontonian Woody Harrelson breaks my ability to believe the movie. Anyone born in Toronto would pronounce it “Trono” (hell, it even sounds like Ch-ron-o the way a lot of people say it!)

And that was before the trans stuff! He was boring and less of a joke teller already, the trans stuff just made it worse.

He’s been shit longer than that, but it wasn’t broadcast. I remember the shows  when he started doing standup again and people online saying he was rambling and meandering and not funny, and he’d walk off stage early if the crowd wasn’t to his liking. 

I never tried his first Netflix series, the one where the picture made it look like something out of “Tropic Thunder”...Gentle Jack I think it was called. Just Ricky twisting his face to look mentally challenged or something. “Nope, don’t need to see whatever that schlock is”.

Does anyone find “OK, let me stop for 10 minutes to whine about Trans people saying I shouldn’t attack them and why that’s cancel culture” funny?

“gotta update my material...I got it...I changed the bible’s wikipedia entry to read fiction! That’s it, hilarious!”

to me he didn’t seem angry, he just seemed unfocussed, and with nothing to say. The guy who made me laugh hysterically with the “grape drink...it’s purple” 15 years before that didn’t leave me with more than a smirk in the first special. He seemed bored. And i was even more bored then him.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. I’m sure a trans person could take a joke that was well made, but Chappelle, or Gervais aren’t telling those jokes. They are stopping the comedy to whine about trans people not appreciating them or some such nonsense. Where’s the actual joke?

I haven’t watched any of his recent specials where he goes off on trans people. Honestly, he lost me at his first netflix special, which was just not funny in the most boring way. And he kept rubbing his stomach during the whole set. They released 2 specials at once, i didn’t even bother with the second.

Ricky Gervais has been performing the same set, releasing the same special, for going on 20 years now it feels like. I guess he’s added more trans stuff the past 5 years, but other than that, he’s very consistent...consistent in that he tells the same damn jokes and expects everyone to think he’s still funny. 

By original stories, I don’t mean “Original star wars stories”. I mean, their original content, totally unrelated to Marvel or Star Wars. I think Johnson is great (recently rewatched the Brothers Bloom and still love that one). I’d rather he make his own thing than play in the Disney/Marvel/Star Wars sandbox.

I’d rather Disney let Waititi and Rian Johnson go crazy with their own original stories. Universal or someone else should back a brinks truck up to them and say “go wild”. I’m tired of this Disney retread stuff.
