The movie thread

[Tumbleweed]

Seems so. Apparently, they had to do 40 pages worth of reshoots after the public responded to the first clips and how they had f@cked up the character of Dr. Doom. Stuff like that never ends well.

 

Seriously, this is how they represent Dr. Doom:

Dr Doom looks like he's just been sprayed with a can of it...

 

Hardly the powerful character Doom has been in the books...

I see the resemblance, but yeah... Seems like it was a watered down & "stremlined" version of him.

Exactly.

 

What is ironic is that Fox is clinging to the movie rights for F4 by continually creating films before their rights revert to Marvel, but every time the movies are both critical and commercial failures. 

 

If the movies were crap, but profitable (such as Transformers), I'd get why Fox would still churn out these turds, but that's not the case. 

 

Oh well, atleast Marvel has got Spidey (partially) back.

Some other stuff I've picked up in bargain bins of late:

 

Road to Perdition - the sequence of getaways while his son's driving is brilliant. 

Minority Report - you have to own it if Phillip K Dick wrote it.

The Lego Movie - it really is good...apart from THAT song.

Raising Arizona - Nick Cage at his best ever, the script is hilarious.

Batman Begins - had it before, but it went missing...after watching it the other night, I'm leaning again to it being the best out of the trilogy.

Parkland - mentioned this before on the thread, but my son watched it the other day, and it fascinated him. In search of other JFK-related fare for him now.

Oh, and Small Fry's post on the awesome thread reminded me...

 

A Clockwork Orange - not a big fan of Kubrick's work, and this one is especially self-indulgent.   

[Tumbleweed]

And another recent bargain bin find was Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Bloody entertaining and well made. Bit stretched at times, but worth a mindless peek. Here's an article that is kinda relevant to want Odinson said earlier:

 

Perlman has frequently been asked about the prospective third Hellboy movie, even when he’s working the press circuit to promote his new projects that are actually in active development (like the upcoming Amazon series Hand of God). The Sons of Anarchy alum has now clarified that as much as he keeps on talking about Hellboy 3 (of his own free will), he feels the film is something he should do for the series’ fans – not, per se, something that he’s personally invested in making.

Pump your brakes there, buddy. 

 

The Dark Knight is perfection. The scene where Batman interrogates The Joker in prison is masterful. Must have watched that scene a dozen times.

are we back on comic book movies again........

My son and I agreed the other day that the disappearing pencil scene is the best from that film!

 

That movie should really have been called "The Joker". It was all Ledger...

The Dark Knight is still one of my top 5 movies. But i have to admit that the only movie I have seen twice at the movies since Titanic is Inside Out. And I don't have kids... All credibility gone. But Gees that little 'cartoon' is a masterpiece. Edited August 7, 2015 by Thor Buttox

I need to watch that.

 

Movies I've seen twice at the cinema - South Park (the original) 

 

That's it.

I know.... 

 

But you have to admit, they're pretty hard to ignore.

I was waiting for a comment like this. Given that comic book movies are currently the most profitable and common "genre", I think the occasional discussion is acceptable.
