I think the original is garbage and am excited as hell to see this because it’s either going to be incredible or a disaster and both will be a blast to watch, which is a far cry from Gritty Clown Movie.

That’s great and all, but Pulp Fiction didn’t become the tenth highest grossing movie of 1994, a critical smash nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture and winning Best Original Screenplay, and a cultural touchstone included in the National Film Registry because a bunch of college students got posters of it…

Characters dying of tragedy is entirely in line with sappy nostalgia fests.

“Tarantino bros” didn’t exist to any real degree in 1994 and Pulp Fiction was widely successful critically and commercially. It didn’t sell as many tickets as Forrest Gump but it wasn’t some sort of cult object championed by obsessives that the mainstream didn’t care about.

I don’t think it classifies as a “pandemic” if there aren’t any government measures and mandates in place anymore.

Forget it Jake, it’s William Hughes.

There’s plenty of possibilities to be had with an 80's-action-movie pastiche of a lunkhead in the modern world. Hell, 21 Jump Street and Johnny Bravo already touched on aspects of that.

Kim Cattrall isn’t being forced to be involved: Samantha isn’t her, just a character she played. This is far from the first or last time a character has continued beyond the original actor’s involvement, even if this is a far dumber way to do it than most.

The thing with Chris Pratt is that he’s really only done four things for the past decade: Star-Lord (who is fine), Emmet from the Lego series (who is good but a bit anonymous), Owen from the Jurassic movies (who is cinematic Ambien), and random assorted garbage. The last non-franchise thing he was in that was any good…

I’ve always had faith in this one because The Munsters seems like the kind of thing Rob loves far too deeply to mess with.

I’m intrigued because it looks so cheesy.

...fair enough.

Yeah, but this is the first time in a long time he can sleepwalk through something and still pull it off.

Normally I’d agree (though I also think his version of Sweeney Todd had merit), but I’m not sure there’s a better match of creator to creation than Tim Burton and The Addams Family. He basically just has to show up and sleepwalk for it to work.

Considering the re-release has absolutely bombed so far I’m pretty sure you can’t claim Morbius memes have translated into people actually caring about Morbius as a film.

Harvey was the sacrificial lamb they could all agree on.

I could be wrong but I don’t think “can’t get into it” was referring to the script, I think she meant she can’t discuss whether or not she’ll be in the film and why just yet.

I just want to say I’m sorry for all the people who are jumping in to slam you for your initial post without bothering to put in the additional minute it would require to read your redaction and apology for it. Yeah, it was a shitty take but you admitted that and that’s honestly really nice to see.

The problem with the Emperor still being alive isn’t that it’s a stretch, it’s that it’s dramatically inert. He completely changes the conflict and the motivations of the main characters without actually adding anything meaningful. Even if he made sense, he’d still be a terrible inclusion.

Comedy is off limits.
