Burton’s film is not great, maybe not even good. But Giamatti, Helena Bonham Carter, and Tim Roth all gave excellent performances, and the ape makeup was extraordinary (and possibly the last of it’s kind - the CG apes of the recent trilogy are likewise quite good, but another kettle of fi- er, barrel of monkeys entirel…

At least it was as bad as all those poor Corinthians Ricardo Montalban hunted and skinned for Chrysler back then.

Bread, spare a moment for all those poor Naugas who killed for props for those 70s chop-sockey movies.

I liked Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes. Granted, I was just a kid with shitty taste but to this day I think the prosthetics and production design were fantastic.

 with the jon hamm scene!

I'd watch the hell out of a Solo sequel.

He can be her new right-hand man (RIP Danish). I want to know who Munch clinks the bottle of orange soda with in the trailer for the finale.

And why is he always dealing with pools?

Every single thing that Wyatt Russel is in makes me angry that Lodge 49 was cancelled.

Usually I instantly roll my eyes at slow, dramatic versions of pop songs, but the Toxic scene is absolutely how to do it right. Everything we now know about Britney Spears is clearly a deliberate part of the effect, and one that’s all the more fulfilling for having to work a bit to realize it.

The show’s final shot is literally her failing, so...

Like she’s obsessively using the Darkhold to track down their alternate selves in another dimension, in full witch mode. And that was the show. And the show people have stated that they didn’t take any mandates from the movie people. They were just on the same page.

The whole MCU world building enterprise has definitely shown fissures, in general, and there’s been some lackluster entries since Endgame, to be sure. I don’t think you can blame Feige & co., however, for slipping a bit since then as they have had to deal with several major disruptions to the original overall…

I think most people would tend to agree about genre, but the problem still crops up with award categories. To argue with myself here, drawing a line arbitrarily between comedy and drama is the only real way that comedy has any significant chance at recognition at all. People tend to think that drama is prima facie…

At no point did the movie feel like one director’s vision. You can tell that it was chopped up by focus tests, because it kind of lurches from set piece to set piece with very brief, small scenes doing most of the character work. It also repeats several story and character beats, both from earlier in the movie, and…

Regarding Snowpiercer: wasn’t an entire new season (season 4) filmed, but TNT still cancelled it afterwards and wouldn’t air it? Hoping for a streaming service to pick it up and air it, if that’s the case.

Now suddenly everyone’s like “Oh boy, now they can bring in Dr. Doom to replace him for the rest of the multiverse saga!”

We saw ‘Turn Off The Dark’ during the original run, I guess it was a preview (almost like a technical rehearsal), hahaha, it’s such a blur, I recall some stops, lights on once or twice - I think I pushed it back into my subconscious to avoid trauma :D

I’m not even sure hook-hand Aquaman would have been a bad film, but it doesn’t sound like the type of project that could fit in a CGI octopus playing the drums, and I don’t even want to imagine a world where that didn’t happen.

Put more sincerely - Wandavision was clearly made by someone who wanted to say something about grief and forgiveness, and to give Wanda a more complete and three-dimensional character that the movies hadn’t thusfar afforded to her, so much.

MoM, meanwhile, wanted a splatter-horror movie monster who goes crazy from…
