There is quite a bit and it shows all the times stuntment and others were wandering about with real guns, too often pointing them at other people. One particular instance was a stuntman using a revolver as a pointing tool to indicate the direction some piece of action would occur, just aligning the barrel with most of…

So - will this result in safety inspections actually being allowed?  Why aren’t we thinking more of studio shareholders that might lose dollars if a movie is delayed by minutes because of the increased safety time? 

Prosecutors also took some swings at OSHA, which they pointed out are not firearms experts.

Plus, how Hollywood studios have been taken over by IP and superhero IP. If audiences were smart, there would be a greater demand for original, and mid-budget adult-oriented movies.

To be fair, the people who voted for Trump also claim to hate Hollywood and also want different movies. It’s just that they movies they want to see are either about Jesus, or about a muscular white guy who beats up foreigners.

Looks better than what I was expecting from a crowdfunded indy film.

“My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit.”

The best review I saw said:

“Madame Web is a two hour trailer for the movie you actually wanted to see.”

Pretty much nailed it.

I haven’t seen it yet because it would be a waste of both time and money, but the reviews and opinions I’ve seen online suggest that there’s little in the movie that’s good. It seems like this was a misfire from the beginning. I wonder if she signed on before the final script was written. 

I have not seen Part 2 yet but my assumption was that he was Count Fenring because I can see him as the character. The thing is Fenring is one of those Dune characters that is a “fan favorite” the same way Tom Bombadil is for LOTR. He is “important” in the world and add many levels to the world building but as a…

It’s Count Fenring. He’s not in the movie, but his wife is so clearly that whole subplot had some level of importance in the adaptation process. I don’t know why we’re pretending there’s any mystery to this.

I doubt there were studio-enforced time limits in this case, but I agree that a ‘deleted scenes’ feature is a harmless way to give fans a bit more. No one’s saying Villeneuve has to release a director’s cut if he things that bastardizes his final product.

Sometimes I remove shots and I say, ‘I cannot believe I’m cutting this out.’ I feel like a samurai opening my gut. It’s painful, so I cannot go back after that and create a Frankenstein and try to reanimate things that I killed. It’s too painful. When it’s dead, it’s dead, and it’s dead for a reason.

Denis is kind of an asshole here. Fans want to see these characters, and they were filmed so just put the scenes on bonus features like everyone else does.

I’d watch Winslet read the phonebook, but this was a wonderful delight. The range she showed in just the first episode was remarkable and it was so enjoyable to watch her flex her comedic talents, which have always been apparent (see, also: Extras, among other things), but never the most prominent part of her career.…

Kids always think they are so clever and we’re the first to think of things.

They even have a name for it. The Missionaria Protectiva.

Yeah. Hell the movie made it even clearer than the original book.

They’re not indigenous or one race even. The film clearly shows this white savior is a dangerous, destructive, person.

It’s always funny when an ostensible “snarky pop culture writer” lacks the media literacy to even mock a movie effectively.
