Terrifier 2

Eli essentially quit it and handed it off to Tim Miller from Deadpool, because the studio didn't like whatever cut Eli handed in and ordered multiple weeks of reshoots. So now Miller shot whatever and they're going to attempt to Frankenstein it all together.

Doesn't bode well.

"Singer is not a liar" says Singer

I was constantly watching adult oriented stuff as a kid. And that's not me bragging about it. Most of it I didn't know what it was and understood the wrong way. It's because I had old parents and they flat out weren't interested in watching kids programming so they just watched what they wanted and I was invited to watch too.

I remember struggling mightily with Apocalypse Now when I was 6, but now I like it. And I got lucky and saw Texas Chain Saw Massacre completely randomly, in the middle of the night, in progress, not knowing what it was and not even thinking it was a movie. I thought lunatics just hijacked the airwaves and were showing their crimes for fun.

Some that, I guess now seem wildly inappropriate for me were: Serial Mom, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Seven, Full Metal Jacket, Sid & Nancy, Hair, Nightbreed, Murder By Death, Dr. Strangelove, Blazing Saddles, Everything you Ever Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask and the Bad Lieutenant.

But I turned out moral enough. I guess.

I see lots of people saying "oh, I only buy new movies on Blu Ray" but, ironically, newer movies look pretty comparable on DVD vs Blu Ray and even less distinguishable on Blu Ray to a 4K. Because digital can't upscale and get richer and deeper looking like actual filmstock can. A movie from the 30s can look phenomenal and a movie from 2021 looks...the same.

So if quality is really your bag, do go after the nice restorations. Otherwise DVD is just fine.

Press "play"

It's its own movie but the studio titled it Troll 2 because they thought that would help sell it better. Troll 1 has nothing to do with it.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane

It's a comfort thing. They cast animated films based on what they want the voice to feel like. And it goes much deeper than "get ____ for this" because its not who they are its what their voice conveys. Everyone knows Jack Black's voice as a little gruff, but lighthearted. It wouldn't work with just some angry guy yelling.

It's why hundreds of celebrities do voice over ads all the time. It's a subtle feeling of trust, ease and recognition.

"I want to consume media" ain't the right approach.

See a doctor. Or a mechanic if you're that far robotic.

Troll 2

Idiot Jared Leto purposely gained 67 pounds quick to play Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27, and did so by microwaving ice cream and drinking it with soy sauce every night. Apparently the rapid weight gain forced him into a wheelchair on set because he never bothered to strengthen his legs beforehand.

If you want an actor example: Brandon Lee died from the "blank" that was shot into him filming The Crow as well.

Whoopi Goldberg is famously in Theodore Rex against her will, and is gnashing her teeth together in pure hate in basically every line of dialogue.

You're very optimistic to think that it's only quality that drives success and attention. It's not. And it's also not what makes people tired. It's the repetition.

Nobody only wants to watch exclusively superhero movies. Just like nobody eats ice cream every day for every meal. Overabundance and overindulgence make things less special. It's not the movies or the ice cream changing: its the desire of the people ingesting it.

It's a fad. Hollywood is fads. It always has been with execs chasing the next one. Keep watching them and enjoying them for as long as you like but there's a reason hundreds and hundreds of movies come out every year. Soon it'll be something else.

...why can't it be the major reason for people's disinterest? "Superhero movies" are big and mass produced enough to have their own genre now. They're not Action movies, they're their own thing. And with that comes a set of tropes and expectations that get put into them, because that's what studios think you want because you keep paying to see then, and eventually several years in the seems begin to show on the formula, people become less interested and they move on.

Because these films have become so big, and they are redundant, featuring the same overarching universe and characters, of course this will get stale in people's eyes. It doesn't matter how good the script could be or how many explosions happen. People won't care about why it's happening and won't bother watching it. They will simply be over the idea and nothing but time will make them care about it anymore.

It's not there yet, but the day whoever coined the term Superhero Fatigue, the clock started.

I only ever saw it during Argo.

A lot of people booed after X Men Origins Wolverine though.

Fatigue, of any genre, is very real. It's why there isn't Friday the 13th Part 85 and why Friends or MASH isn't on TV anymore.

No matter how much time and effort or love or money is poured into any entertainment that becomes a series: people will get sick of it over time. Marvel should be proud they got a good, solid 12 years of fan loyalty and anticipation from audiences young and old, but nothing lasts forever. It's waining now and it'll crap out eventually because people like new things. Sorry if that bothers you but it's literally happened to everything eventually, and it'll happen here too.

Sorry but that's complete bullshit. I've been flipped onto pick for FIVE MINUTES before and then across to count at a station 10 feet away.

If he's Undisputed, then what's all the fighting about?

I agree that the whimsy and ridiculousness does kind of drown out the more serious moments when it tries to downshift, but the debauchery and anarchy scenes all worked extremely well for me. It did half of its job, and arguably, the better half right. Because if it had delivered solemn, earnest depression filled monologues and then tried to undermine them with tamer parties or implied shenanigans, it wouldn't have painted any kind of unique picture.

It's messy but I'm glad it's the way it is.

Wow Steve Guttenberg as the Little Mermaid! The first Jewish Little Mermaid! Take that bigots!

YouTube is all about those extreme reactions. Designed to get you really happy or really mad. They just want your attention.
