Now, now, let’s give the Dersh his proper credentials.

He DID also go to bat for Klaus von Bulow.
I mean, if you want to leave off his arguing it’s okay for the President to try and put his thumb on the scale because “he thinks it’s for the good of the country”, that’s kind of fair since that came after the video, but…

...I know you’re going Disney princesses route here, but I imagine this and I just want Marsden rallying them a la The Wicked Witch of the West
“Fly, my pretties! Fly! AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!”

and when they tried to explain that in their acceptance speech, they got played off.
It was a tacky move then and it only got worse after they went under.

...welp.
You either die a hero or live long enough to...you get the idea.

Given what happened to the animation studio in question as a result of them taking that criticism to heart, I’m not sure how much I’d want to count that as a plus for this movie.

Silent Hill is...it’s passable as a horror film.
As an adaptation it’s...not awful as much as it is frustrating. Like, it tries to get it right and does nail some of the beats, but between studio demands and surface lifting of certain elements for the sake of fan service, it feels like a mess.
(Biggest example being the…

Does it still have the fucked up xenophobia of the first, or did they realize that’s probably NOT the kind of thing you want in a kids’ film?

Part of the problem was it was a statement she should have rolled out sooner.

By the time she brought it out, the people it was meant to reach had already bailed anyway for various reasons of disgust with Trump.
And all that was left were the ones that looked at that list of *ists and went “Yeah, what of it?”

I hate to break it to you, but Dean Cain being an asshole predates MAGA.
Dude’s been making these kinds of films for a while now (case in point: God’s Not Dead.)

The crazy part is, this Trump Mars movie would somehow STILL find a way to be more jaw-droppingly homophobic than Boat Trip.

Well, the good news here is they wouldn’t even have to consider that far. Anyone who thinks a man of his age and health is going to survive the necessary G-force training is at best naive, at worst flat-out lying to themselves.

Dunno if this is deemed sufficiently old school or not, but recently been revisiting the old Star Trek: 25th Anniversary computer game.

Pleasantly surprised that it still plays well overall (some of the ship combat is still a little wonky, but the away team point and click adventures are still a lot of fun and do an…

Thoughts on the movie aside, this is a pretty shrewd move on the part of the marketing.
Either the movie winds up as controversial as the poster is advertising, or it underwhelms, and all those soundbites basically give people a list of names to look at and go “THIS is what you were all so afraid of?”

SOON.
The clock is ticking. Less than a decade until the screenings may begin.

On the literal level, yes.
But at the same time, the movie makes it pretty clear the ritual is part of an actual demonic pact the family got into to maintain its wealth and prosperity.

It’s sort of like Brian Yuzna’s Society or John Carpenter’s They Live - yes, there’s aliens/demons, but at the core of each, there’s the…

If it’s tough to figure out why, it’s likely that it tripped the MPAA’s ‘You PG-13s get one ‘fuck.’ As a treat. More than that, YOU TAKE THE R.’

Sad, but true.
Also, slightly ironic. For a series where one of the main building blocks was Kurosawa’s samurai films, its production backstory gets the old Rashomon treatment pretty regularly.

On the one hand - I get where the VFX community is coming from. Especially where the Oscars are concerned (remember the VFX company behind Life of Pi getting played off as they tried to explain how rough it was getting in that industry, only to get played off and then have their company go under within a year of said…

Right there with you on Bilbo.
When I look back at the things that I would say were kind of my ‘nerd foundation’ (for lack of a better term for it) those two Tolkien movies were one of the biggies (I’ll admit as I’ve gotten older that RotK is...honestly a mess of a movie now, albeit with some great casting at parts,…

A-bloody-men.

Several years later, I still find it odd that, out of all the songs in La La Land, they gave the award to probably one of the blandest offerings of that movie.
(I mean, I wasn’t a huge fan of the film in general, but it had better entries, even among the nominees.

...also, Sing Street got fucking hosed. I…
