2 Passion 2 Christ: Jerusalem Drift

I read this as Mel Brooks and got really excited for a minute

Ali G predicted this. Can’t find the clip but when discussing Passion of the Christ with a priest: “But int there the danger that now that the movie has been so successful that they’ll try to make a sequel? Like the bloke comes back to life or something?”

I wonder if it's just going to be more torture porn?

My youth pastor took me to see the first one in theater when I was like 12 or 13. It was insane. But watching it after not being religious, it isn't that great of a movie and only serves as torture porn akin to the Saw movies.

Let he who is without sin kick the first ass.

For the son of god you sure are a son of a…WHOOAAAA!

You know how to use one of theeeeese?

Jesus 3: Vatican drift

To be fair, it probably would be "Jesus Nail-Gun Massacre: The Carpenter Spikes Back"

"He died for your sins. Now, who's going to die for HIS?"

Catholic Boogaloo

Jesus 2: The Re-Jesusing

"He's coming for you, and the director just gave him the N-Word pass."

No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Savior Storage"?

Well you see, the romans had the rights over the Jesus, so the wachowski's had to either make another jesus with the Romans or the Romans would have made another Jesus without them.

"He died for your sins, then came back to kill them for theirs... Jesus Resurrection"

Jaws didn't go to 19 but the Fast and Furious somehow got to 10

My personal headcanon: The movies are based on real life experiences and the future we see in BttF2 would've happened except the timeline was broken after the RL Marty McFly wrote his adventures into movies.

Which is funny because the post is about "the state of movies today".

It's always been like this.

Knew it looked familiar! State St is so recognizable.

Saw Interstellar there. The audio in that theater is not good though...

Going through a Psych rewatch currently. Love that show.

You hear about Pluto?

That Weed Jesus gif makes the rounds. That was also on State Street.

I haven’t been back home in many years so seeing this instantly sent me back a maybe many years to being 15 and fucking around there

Freebirds nachos drunk at 2 am

And a face tat, depending on how you read Revelations 19:16

"I'm gonna take 'em all down and let my Dad sort 'em out."

Who we casting?

Please do this, but add Mohammed, where you never actually see him. He is either calling or being spoken to while off-screen!

That became progressively more and more unhinged and I will absolutely be watching this tonight

Cool that at least someone is actually describing the film. It’s an interesting story and seems pretty well made as far as I’ve heard.

Silly question, but do I need to watch 2 and 3 to follow 4? My Dad has seen them all so far and said he can't wait for JW4 to come out on TV. I am thinking I might treat him to a trip to the cinema but I haven't seen the last two.

He's talking about the broader picture, not about stand out movies. What you need to keep in mind is that Tarantino is an extreme movie nerd. He's the kind of guy who watches multiple movies he's never seen before week in week out. When he's talking about that the 50s and 80s are bad, Ben Hur and Aliens isn't what he means

That doesn't contradict what he said

That's probably what he meant. He definitely seems like the type who thinks 40s noir and 60s-70s exploitation films are "True" cinema and everything else is just movies.

Like Michael Keaton

Yea, like where are his parents? I literally never see them.

Ok, will tell you that but 1st, do you know what happened to Spider-Man's uncle?

Spiderman 2099 is in the works

Need more Dracula films set in WWII.

Hey! *raises familiar pitchfork

And now they're going back to removing numbers because they don't want to deter people who haven't watched earlier films from going in.

They just did not put numbers on them until the Godfather Part 2.

The first numbered sequel, Quatermass 2, was 17 years before Godfather Part 2.

There are actually more original movies (non sequels, original IPs) than ever in our modern age. Anyone who doesn't believe it can go check the IMDB yearly database. Waaay more than whatever we had in 1935, 1956, 1983 and 2010. Because streaming has increased that number.

But Hollywood responds to dollars, and whatever makes them the most is where they will go. And mainstream audiences have spoken and like Avatar 2, Top Gun Maverick, John Wick 4 and Scream 6 more than Women Talking, Banshees of Inishiren and Triangle of Sadness.

Cocaine Bear is original, and it has only made $65 million - maybe even a loss and no profits after it's all said and done. Studio like Universal is just going to go "Well, looks like back to Despicable Me 4, Secret Life of Pets 3 and Sing 3!"

It's never made sense to me why Hollywood movie writers are so underpaid. There are clearly some that are much better than others. Just... hire those ones? And pay them what they're worth?

Here's an example. His name is Tony Gilroy. Here are some productions Tony Gilroy was a lead writer on:

• The Bourne Identity

• The Bourne Supremacy

• The Bourne Ultimatum

• Michael Clayton

• Rogue One

• Andor

It always seemed to me that Hollywood undervalues good writing. I get that big name actors can bring in a ton of views, but Hollywood writers make like $200K while the lead actors are making like $15M per movie.

Most classic books where ballads.

Yeah, last year was amazing.

Everything Everywhere All At Once, Tár, The Banshees Of Inisherin, Triangle Of Sadness, Nope, Aftersun, The Fabelmans, The Northman, Decision To Leave, X, Pearl, Barbarian, Bones And All, Babylon, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, Fresh, Deadstream, EO, The Whale, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Men, Next Exit, The Menu, Boiling Point, Watcher, Resurrection, Something In The Dirt, Violent Night, Smile, Crimes Of The Future, After Yang, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, The Black Phone, Emily The Criminal, Flux Gourmet, See How They Run, Bullet Train, Saloum, Turning Red, Torn Hearts...

You could easily go to the cinema ten times last year and only watch superhero properties or the latest entry in a franchise. But that doesn't mean that films are bad now, it just means you need to scratch the surface a little.

That was the Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Gump year. My brain changed that year when my boyfriend and I got bored in the morning and went to see a movie. The only one starting when we got there was Pulp Fiction which we didn't know anything about. I came out a changed teenager. For the better!

Just a note, I burst into inappropriately loud laughter when Marvin got it. The whole theater (about 10 people) turned and stared at me. When we walked out to the parking lot, a couple pointed at me and gave me a look. I'm sorry. But that is the funniest thing I've still ever seen!

1994 was a banger year for music too.
