The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread

[epilogue]

Every year I try to predict what will be my personal favorite film of the year. Sometimes I'm dead on, sometimes I'm way off.

But I'll be shocked if La La Land isn't this year's winner. This movie looks.... well, it looks like everything I want a movie to be.

Umm... HELLO... Rogue One

That's honestly one of the others that I expect to be up at the top.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Lol at Josh Trank. "Greatest Achievment: Chronicle". "Movie that caused problems: Fantastic Four". Pretty sure both those movies sucked, not sure why anyone is surprised he hasn't done more.

Yea, there's some good films scattered throughout. I didn't realize Debra Granik (the director of Winter's Bone) hadn't done anything else. That film was great. Also, her second film was called Down to the Bone. Then she did Winter's Bone. And now she's adapting Russell Banks's Rule of the Bone. What's the deal with bones, amirite?

I made that same exact observation to my wife a few weeks ago. I really want Granik to direct the film adaptation of Eileen. I actually want that to happen so badly that as soon as I finished the book I looked up purchasing the adaptation rights. But Scott fucking Rudin already has them (of course) and I'm sure he'll find a way to cock it up. And no way in hell will Granik get to direct it. Which fucking sucks. Maybe I should start a Twitter campaign?

Collider has a massive hard-on for Trank.

I saw The Canyons yesterday.

Its such a flawed movie, but at the same time there is a beautiful cinematography and a few really cool shots. Its like im more drawn to it because its flawed.

[LoathedVermin72]

I cannot defend The Canyons.

[epilogue]

I tried to watch it but I couldn't get through it.

[LoathedVermin72]

Whoa, I see Luc Besson went all out with Valerian. That teaser is bonkers.

Nobody told me Cara Delevingne was in this thing. You dicks have been holding out on me.

A new Resident Evil movie and a new Underworld movie coming soon. What a time to be alive!

[LoathedVermin72]

I wish the Underworld movies didn't suck

I only saw the first one and it was enough.
