Good ass list. Cat People rocks.

That’s actually really funny.

Look, I love the guy, but 90 minutes of Charles Martinet wahoo-ing through the Mario movie would be completely unwatchable. There’s a reason Mario almost never says more than a few words at a time.

I’ve seen this kind of defensive comment from you before when you’ve been called out. I personally do not mind the “spam.” Lemmy is always short on new posts, so spam away. What I want to show you is how your posts end up looking to others.

The headline/subject is always cut off because it’s too long. Just think you should paraphrase it abbreviate when possible and permitted by the Lemmy community in order to avoid making posts that don’t make sense. In this case, I’d just leave it at “Scared Shitless Official Trailer” and leave the description for the body of the post.

Downvoted for an opinion the majority of leftists share. Lemmy really has been overtaken by liberals. Fucking depressing.

Seemed like a huge risk releasing an original movie and its sequel months apart. And he’s already shooting part 3.

Letterboxd for Movies. Serializd for TV.

I thought Furiosa was excellent, but it filled in enough details of this version of the Wasteland that I don’t want to see it revisited. Would be excited if Miller has another self-contained story he wants to make in a different time and place of the Mad Max mythology with all new characters, but I suspect WB is not willing to take that risk. If MM doesn’t draw in audience for a Wasteland-verse of connected stories, they’ll just axe it.

I’m glad people got something out of the movie and enjoyed pouring through it for secrets, but I’m firmly in the camp of none of it is supposed to make sense and have an answer, but people will assign meaning to any little mundane thing they find and that’s the point.

I’m saying both you and Burton have shit excuses for not casting non-white actors. Calling the representation of non-white actors something to “shoehorn” into a film means both of you consider white skin the default, which is at least ignorant of reality if not racist.

And it’s easier to make white people look like corpses? What a weird statement. As if Tim Burton shoots on a sub-indie budget that can’t afford makeup and lighting, where worrying about the shade of an actor’s skin is even a factor when you have the resources of major film studios to achieve any look a director desires.

Lastly, Burton being “goth” is maybe the funniest reason you’ve provided so far. My dude, have you ever been to a Goth Night at a club? I guarantee you’ll find that’s a subculture just as popular with people of color as it is for white folks.

You’ll notice his answer isn’t “My films require pale skin to achieve my vision.”

Nonsense. There are plenty of examples of cool-toned films featuring black actors. Moonlight is the obvious example. With proper lighting and modern color grading techniques, this is a bad excuse for exclusively casting white people in movies.

And you don’t have to make up excuses for Burton. He can tell you himself why he doesn’t feature people of color in his movies.

Jeff Bridges is one of the best parts of Tron, but his story in this world is over. If he only returns in flashbacks as uncanny de-aged Flynn again, that’s almost worse.

I think the guy who owns the island with creepy shit going on is pretty clearly at the center of it. Who isn’t the question I want to discover.

I like the spoiler opening line. Movies like this, you already know what you’re getting into. Any flashes of violence and chaos in the back end reveals just as much as that one line and those pretty much have to be there to make for an interesting trailer. Might as well show your hand and not pretend we don’t know that it all goes to hell. The mystery isn’t what happens to the characters, but how and why.

Oh yes, South Park, the mirror held up to society, a genuine reflection of what’s actually going on in the world. Surely not just a cartoon depiction of pop culture through the lens of two middle aged white guys whose shit take style of humor peaked 20 years ago.

28 Days Later was also never a massive blockbuster movie. It was kind of a cult hit. A sequel titled 28 Years Later will definitely bring in some kind of audience, but I am doubtful about three back-to-back movies. The Strangers is doing the same thing. Why? What historical evidence is there to suggest that this is a smart idea? I just can’t imagine niche horror franchises are prime material for Marvel-ization.

Have either of you ever seen a movie?

Trailer editor here. So AI voiceover is currently being used in the trailers industry, but it is never left in the final product. It’s always temporary. Trailers go through lots of iterations between the agencies that cut them, the studios that order them, and sometimes the creatives who produce the films or series. In all the revisions, it’s very common for copy (graphical text), VO, and dialogue to change constantly, which means we need to put in placeholders to quickly turnaround the next edit. Before AI, we would simply have someone in the office who has a nice deep voice to record temporary VO. Once the cut is “locked” by the client, professional VO reading is ordered and recorded to replace anything temporary. AI VO just saves a little bit of time, but it is not putting anyone out of a job in this field (yet). Speaking just from my experience, I don’t see that changing any time soon. We do lots of business with the same freelance VO artists all the time and I don’t see any interest on our side replacing them with a robot voice.

My mom and I walked out of Jurassic Park 3 and into Artificial Intelligence and we weren’t the only ones. To this day, I haven’t seen all of either film, but after seeing Jurassic World maybe I was too harsh on JP3. I remember quite liking what I saw of AI. I should rewatch it from the start.
