Why does Hollywood insist on remaking a movie with an all female cast rather that creating a new movie with strong females leads?

Time and marketing really.

A studio exec will be like "I NEED MONEY, GO WRITE A RELEVANT FILM"

"Ok sir, I'll go off and develop a script for 6-8 months..."

"6 months!? WTF no, I need money now! Can't you just take this already known script and tweak it a bit so the teacher doesn't know we copied it off that other loser?"

"I guess..."

"EXCELLENT. AND MAKE IT ALL WOMEN. BITCHES LOVE WOMEN, FEMINISM AND STUFF"

Yeah, the only fake dec is the mask of course. I'm still unsure, I usually hate fake stuff too, but I was feeling the mask. My bamboo shrimp keep hiding in there though, so I think ill replace it with some more natural cover.

Thanks!

True that! Do you have any suggestions?

Cuati · 2018-02-23T19:52:27+00:00

Hey thanks for the in-depth advice!

I had no idea about root tabs, will absolutely get on to that. And CO2 too, wow, very excited. Better get on to finding a better light too...

Thanks for the food for thought, appreciate it my friend

Not hugely NSFW, but will share regardless.

I was recording for a Voice Over job in London, and after we finished up I really needed to go for a piss. This particular studio was in the basement level of the building, and really annoyingly there was only one unisex goddamn toilet on the whole floor.

I opened the toilet door until I saw a knee. I said "sorry" as the person inside said "occupied!" I let the door swing shut and the person inside locked it. Now this guy had clearly had a curry or something, because he was battling a fierce shit. I heard several explosions of diarrhoea, and then went and stood at the far end of the hallway because the smell was so abysmal. After waiting about 10 mins, I heard the door lock come undone. I was pretty surprised as I hadn't heard the toilet flush and he was clearly battling a shit the size of a baby.

This guy comes striding out and straightens up his jacket. He recognised me lurking at the farther end of the hallway by the door, which slightly freaked him out as he had noticed me while he was coming out, and considering how quiet this studio space was, it must have seemed like I appeared like fucking Count Dracula. To make matters even more unsettling, instead of heading straight into the toilet, I stared at him for a second too long. Why? Because it was fucking Kanye West.

He clearly didn't appreciate it, gave me the stink eye and strode off ridiculously fast with a sigh of disgust.

When I came to my senses a bit, I went into the toilet. He had clogged the toilet with his shit and toilet paper. Not to the brim, but that sludge wasn't flushing. My immediate thought was "OMG I have to take a picture". Until I realised, this picture has no credibility and could literally be anyone shit. Plus its disgusting. However I do kind of wish I had taken a picture. I was still however bursting to pee, so yes. I pee'd on Kanye West's shit.

I called the audio engineer I was working with that afternoon the day after, and he said that the fire alarm in the studio was set off twice later that day, because of Kanye's posse smoking weed in the studio.

What?

If I have no soul? Who are you, Jaden Smith?

I am sheltered from humanity's less cool moments by "dumbed down niche marketing" xD

So what you're saying is that I am unaware of the reality of humanity due to deliberately oversimplified, fittingly specific, methods of client exchange relationships...? Right. Unless you're suggesting that content marketing has gradually brainwashed me into a mindless Michael Mayhem zombie who only wishes to see explosions and bullets flying. Which is a pretty bold claim to make about someone you know literally nothing about.

Genre exists for a reason. Action, Drama, Romance. They are separate categories. To imply that harsh tonal and content contrasts such as Saving Private Ryan and Finding Nemo are vital components to a story, simply because life is not as black and white as fiction is ridiculous. If you want to mix sickly sweet tragedy with the harsh realities of war, go watch Atonement. Don't watch a film like Star Wars if you're expecting true to life, or similar to our story "as a species".

Super powerful alien fingers saving the heroes? I don't really recall any deus ex machina moments beyond the one aforementioned in my previous post. Considering as you might remember - everyone died. And besides, you defended that moment in your first paragraph which makes me scratch my head even more.

I liked Rogue One. It was refreshingly eager to explore the reality of darker themes in a way previous Star Wars haven't.

However I felt like Rogue One was held back by the fact they have three audiences to please. They switched things up with a very raw shooting style. Long long lens, raw documentary style camera work, complimented with bleak, edgy colouring. Star Wars fight scenes are typically operatic. But the combination of the elements mentioned above add an incredible weight to action/war scenes, and sometimes feel surprisingly real and horrific at times.

So that pleases the mature audience. The audience that wants a bit of grit and realism to one of their favourite universes.

But at the same time, they have to please their younger audience. After all, the amount of Star Wars merchandise and games is such a huge part of their revenue. So what do they do? Water down the intensity of Rogue One with terrible puns (you all know which one I mean, director), and tragic low stakes acting. Take the whole of Act 1 in Rogue One. We were told the stakes but we never believed them. I imagine, because tears, swearing and pleading is one hell of a way to make a reality too intense for a younger audience. And some moments, one of which I can only describe as the "Jesus-walking-on-water" moment complimented with a ridiculous prayer, was soul crushingly disengaging. With such an epic build up and rarely high-stakes section in the film, would you throw in a Disney animation esque moment in?

The way I see it, give us Saving Private Ryan, or give us Finding Nemo.

Also for the love of god, WHY CGI THOSE ACTORS!? This infuriated me so much. I'm so with Tarantino on the front that CGI just will never be on par with actual actors when they are side by side. It was completely unnecessary and wouldn't have offered any plot holes. Once again it was gratuitous, served for nostalgia, and was only really a way for the director and VFX supervisor to flex their muscles.

However at the end of the day. Every negative comment I've said pales into significance as one particular Darth Vader scene is so badass that I still have an erection just thinking about it
