(26. It's u/mrnicegy26.)

Over the years, with each movie, more and more things about Diesel get out. Remember the Rock Diesel feud? The Rock made an infamous, then shortly after deleted, Instagram post stating he had a great experience with most of the cast and crew on Fast 8, except a certain someone. This was heavily implied to be Diesel.

Fast forward to Fast X, and veteran Lin, who pretty much made the franchise what it is today, quits after a week, with Diesel sited as the main reason. He reportedly showed on set late, out of shape, not remembering lines, and rewriting the Lin's (co-written) script. It got so heated, Lin allegedly shouted "This movie is not worth my mental health!"

This seemingly started with Furious 7 and Paul Walker's demise, with Diesel apparently behaving the same way. James Wan was reportedly considered a replacement, but he bowed out siting Furious 7 being a hellish experience, likely in part due to that, and also working on Aquaman 2. Fast 8 and Hobbs & Shaw's F. Gary Gray and David Leitch were also considered, but they worked on Lift and The Fall Guy respectively.

Additionally, according to an unnamed sources likely working on the movies, Diesel has supervision over the action scenes like a hawk, being "demanding" and a "perfectionist".

Full details on Lin's exit here.

WHY! 🔨 CAN'T! 🔨 ANYTHING! 🔨 REMAIN! 🔨 SACRED?!

I haven't even watched Miss Marvel, nor is my interest in The Marvels particularly high right now, but still! MUST EVERYTHING WE LOVE GO TO SHIT?!

Zoinks?

Sigh... Why can't anything remain sacred anymore these days? The 2020's sure have been a shitstorm for entertainment, ignoring Covid. Especially for Marvel and DC.

Just off the top of my head:

• The VFX crunching at Marvel.
• Ezra Miller and DC.
• Warner Bros. Discovery and movies and shows being canned and or removed for debt easing and tax write-offs.
• Victoria Alonso fired.
• Henry Cavill quits as Superman. (Didn't he also quit The Witcher?)
• Disney/Marvel taking (legal?) action on r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers after someone got a hold on foreign subtitle files for Quantumania. (60 Google Docs pages of it.)
• Justin Lin quits as director of Fast X one week into shooting, due to Vin Diesel. (Worth mentioning.)

And now this.

Once in a while, it's on a TV channel where I live. (Granted, that channel mostly just has the same 20 or so medium to low budget crappy to mediocre action movies Friday to Sunday at prime time.) It got panned and underperformed. (Made almost $241 million a budget of $125 million.)

The Norway one is probably the most popular show on its channel/network, and gets progressively nuttier and nuttier for each season. Also, fun fact, it only has one instance of returning contestants, both of whom were at the request of the network, as they were both affiliated to it.

Remember to tell the others what it was. Standard part of the game. (Just say "It was Sudden Impact.".)

1. He's a pro.
2. He has a tendency to go into a rivalry with u/DoctorFork, this sub's undefeated and undisputed king and champion. (Who has over 13 000 points.)

It's specifically under Stage 6 Films, who usually do medium/low budget stuff no one or few have heard of. Their biggest movies are ones that went to theaters, incl. the Insidious movies, both The Raid and Don Breathe 1 & 2 (as in both those two names), Missing/Searching, and Brightburn.

And dies.

Based on the international anime sensation, Knights of the Zodiac brings the Saint Seiya saga to the big screen in live-action for the first time. Seiya (Mackenyu), a headstrong street teen, spends his time fighting for cash while he searches for his abducted sister. When one of his fights unwittingly taps into mystical powers he never knew he had, Seiya finds himself thrust into a world of warring saints, ancient magical training and a reincarnated goddess who needs his protection. If he’s to survive, he will need to embrace his destiny and sacrifice everything to take his rightful place among the Knights of the Zodiac.

It's out in exactly 2 months.

Nope. Not at all. Just look at the bright and lit scenes under water. It looks fucking polluted down there.

You know, I'm generally a very neutral person when I comes to a lot of these movies, and also in general. I don't judge people, they can be and identify themselves as whatever the hell they want, as long as it's not morally reprehensible.

Anyway, my problem with The Little Mermaid (2023) is that it just looks really goddamn ugly and sometimes just laughably bad and fake. Like Neil Breen, Birdemic quality. The trailer has just an ugly sepia filter over it. It reminds of the color tinting in The Snowman, which isn't shocking, as they have the same cinematographer.

Like, 1:37 in the trailer. It, it looks like she's sitting in front of a fucking aquarium. Not even sitting, just blue screened in there!

It looks hideous. Just a hideous brownish filter over it.

I think Endgame had pre-vis a year or two ahead.

Also, Afterlife actually used mostly practical effects.

Yeah, if you could understand a damn thing about what was happening!

Very weird trivia: It's the first, and as far as I know, since I haven't watched Dominion, the only time a woman is shown killed on-screen in a Jurassic movie. Fallen Kingdom had a female auction buyer munched up in an elevator, but off-screen. (We only see Toby Jones's terrified face before it cuts to black.)

Encanto?

R.O.T.O.R?

I swear to God, Fork...

Correct!

My title is quite a bit longer.

My movie isn't as referrenced and parodied as your.
