southsamurai , in First trailer for 'Hellboy: The Crooked Man' unveils newest incarnation of the big red hero
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think I'm a little hyped tbh. Not a lot, I don't really get hyped for movies often, nor to a high degree unless it's something that's a real passion. But this is based on my favorite Hellboy story, so I'm a little hyped lol

However, I hope they don't cheese the accents. Holy hell, nobody ever does Appalachian accents right

Eh. Pass. I don't care for creepy horror without something else. I liked horror comedy, campy earlier versions.

I'm conflicted as I love the original but there's things that could be improved (a Scottish Spaniard? A French Scotsman?) and Highlander 2 torpedoed the franchise, it only really recovered to some extent with the TV series. So if they have new stories to tell, I'll give it a go.

Thanks for the reminder of some great movies. Added them to my "need to get" list.

But can we agree that Adele crushed the Skyfall title track?

More than crushed it!

I was going to provide a quip along the lines of "If you want to re-watch Skyfall ... you might be better just looking at stills of Roger Deakins' cinematography while listening to Adele's Skyfall theme".

EDIT: See this wonderful webpage: The Cinematography of Skyfall

Uhm, where is Tombstone? And why is it not #1?

I'm pretty sure that Quantum of Solstice was hampered by the 2007 writers strike with production starting before the script was even done. Unfortunately, that really messed with the story arc and the next two films were spent trying to pick up the pieces.

Dunno. In hindsight it seems its biggest problem was following Casino.

I'm sad to see Silverado didn't make the cut. But it was also a love letter to Westerns as a genre so it makes sense.

This is a good list to save. I've never really seen familiar with the Western genre. I've never seen any of these. Or Tombstone.

Can we just keep rebooting everything until we've completely eaten our own arses?

Would fuckin love a new IP tbh

threeganzi ,

Totally agree with your sentiment, but how about referring to it as “creative work” instead of “intellectual property”? I think the art and creativity is the missing piece, as studios don’t want to take even a minuscule risk.

Yeah that's actually a great point, and I like the focus on artwork and creativity!

Zorque ,

There's tons of new IP. It's just lots of people like sequels and reboots, so you're going to get a bunch of them as well.

autotldr Bot , in Barry Diller Explores Bid to Take Control of Paramount

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The billionaire Barry Diller is exploring a bid to take control of Paramount, the parent company of CBS, MTV and Nickelodeon, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Mr. Diller’s digital-media conglomerate, IAC, has signed nondisclosure agreements with National Amusements, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, the people said.

Nondisclosure agreements are a key step in deal making, allowing both sides to exchange confidential information.

Mr. Diller’s interest in Paramount is the latest twist in one of the most complex — and dramatic — efforts to sell a media company in several years.

Paramount reached the brink of a deal in recent months with Skydance, a Hollywood studio, before talks abruptly fell apart.

After Mr. Redstone outbid him for the company, Mr. Diller set his sights on continuing to build his new media empire, striking a series of audacious deals to expand IAC.


The original article contains 431 words, the summary contains 142 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Mike calling McCauley Culkin a "creepy, drug-addled sex pervert" hits very differently nowadays. I wonder if Culkin ever watched this review lol.

Can't see that title without thinking, "It stinks!"

AMA about being old.

Got_Bent ,

I honestly thought this was going to be a live action reboot with Jon Lovitz.

Stereotype_Be ,

I’d pay to see that. I recently started watching The Critic on Tubi and I love it.

No matter how successful Patrick Marber gets I’m still thinking “Peter, you’ve lost the news!”.
