OldManBOMBIN , in Hey is 2001 : space oddyssey still worth watching ?

2001 will never not hold up; the story isn't one that's tied to an era or a fad - it's the story of evolution and struggle; it's about wonderment and hubris and drive. The characters aren't even really that important, because the story isn't about them- they're just in it.

protist ,

Don't forget some of the best cinematography of all time paired with fantastic classical music that has you riveted to the screen even watching a space station slowly rotate. Also the incredible mid-century modern conception of future fashion, design, and technology

OldManBOMBIN ,

This is all true

Thanks for sharing

Is anyone up to date? I only saw Jurassic World in 2016, the following ones didn't seem that good

Yeller_king ,

I thought Jurassic World was decent even though I cringed here and there. The subsequent ones were offensively bad if you were a Jurassic Park fan.

I genuinely thought Jurassic World was a great almost reboot of the franchise. The next one was ok and I haven't seen Dominion because everyone said don't bother.

Oof, I thought they were gonna do a "world" trilogy and be done with it. Though, it was naive of me to keep thinking that after seeing Dominion's box office earnings

RagnarokOnline , in [Retrospective] “Tremors” (1990): A Cult Classic That Blends Horror, Comedy, and Adventure – Film Review

Watch it about once a year. The sequels are so campy but can be a good time too if you’re in the mood.

When the grabboid burst into burts bunker and he and his wife went ham with all the guns. Amazing. Also "Ass blasters." Tremors two. Apparently sci-fi channel did a series if I'm not mistaken?

There are four films and one television series. I say this a lot but I'm a fan so I like to tell everyone. 😁 They were all created by the same people, primarily Brent Maddock and S. S. Wilson, the writers.

But when Universal bought the franchise back for new films, 5,6 and 7, they didn't ask the original guys to join in. And that's why those 3 films suck. 😁

Blaze OP Mod , in [Trailer] Inside Out 2

The first one was great, hopefully they don't mess up this one, but I'm always cautious with sequels.

Such an influential creator. Manga and animation evolved so much thanks to him.

RIP

DdCno1 , in 30 movie directors with movies with an IMDB rating higher than 7.5 and 50.000 votes

Why the 50k vote requirement? This basically ensures that only blockbuster films and their directors appear in this chart, with a near complete bias towards large American productions.

Gerudo ,

I'd guess to make sure the score was averaged across a decent sized pool to minimize outliers.

Orbituary , in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - Official Trailer #2
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

I'm not too excited for this one. Fury Road was great. I hope I'm wrong and this is better than trailer lets on.

StThicket ,

As soon as I saw that weirdly proportioned wide eyed actress, I knew this was going to be a bad one. Charlize Theron did well as Furiosa, but I can't picture Anya Taylor-Joy portraying Furiosa in a believable way.

kandoh ,

Maya Hawk would've been better but she's less popular on social media; the #1 deciding factor in who gets roles now.

simple , in Netflix Marvel Shows Are Now 100% MCU Canon | Giant Freaking Robot
@simple@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah it's easy for something to be canon when there are absolutely 0 consequences and an infinite number of universes so they can retcon anything they want later

crawancon , in The film fans who refuse to surrender to streaming: ‘One day you’ll barter bread for our DVDs’

but, why?

dvds have a shelf life of ~25-40 years on average. they won't magically contain all future releases as well (digital only releases, etc)

Now VHS... that's a physical medium. lol
kidding. they all suck and it's dumb to stick to a physical anything.

also screw vinyl.

survivalmachine , in The film fans who refuse to surrender to streaming: ‘One day you’ll barter bread for our DVDs’

I don’t think 99% of people in America would ever stop to think, ‘What would I do if I woke up tomorrow and all access to digital media disappeared?'

Bruh, I don't want to be the one to tell you what the first D in DVD stands for.

czech , in Indiana Jones Whips Up $130 Million Loss For Disney

How does "Hollywood accounting" affect this? Did anyone actually lose money or are they able to just create losses on paper?

UKFilmNerd OP Mod ,
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

I forget his name right now, but I followed one of the writers of Bill & Ted on Twitter, he also wrote Men in Black. This was a couple of years ago but he showed a letter from Sony informing him that they still can't pay any residual cheques because according to their accounting, Men in Black way still in the red.

viking , in Indiana Jones Whips Up $130 Million Loss For Disney
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Not surprised, that was some unimaginative crap. Not as bad as the crystal skull, but light years behind the original trilogy.

adam_y , in Indiana Jones Whips Up $130 Million Loss For Disney
@adam_y@lemmy.world avatar

Still think they should have gone with a story where indy has to steal back all of the artifacts he's "acquired" and put in museums, returning them using time travel and having to outfox himself.

Last shot should be of a glass case in a museum with just his hat and the whip.

Impossible, physical media doesn't exist anymore. Heck I don't have a single disk tray in my entire house.

You don't, but there are millions upon millions of Xboxes and Playstations.
