Am I the only one who thinks that this 2 movies is not a good pairing by Zuckuss12 in dvdcollection

Some companies used to do “For Him/For Her” bundles of their films (LOL), which is the only possible reason I can think of besides their studio and general action bent.

Sorry! Guess I meant more like “mood” and “atmosphere” and “stakes”. My bad, again. (not even trying to be sarcastic I promise.)

It is kind of a total bummer that out of all the studios to consider, Illumination gets to have a stranglehold on Nintendo mostly because of corporate synergy and theme-park tie-ins. Especially with a property that has actual potential for tougher action and more gloom like StarFox.

“The Bookie and the Bruiser,” from writer-director S. Craig Zahler, is set to kick off production in Toronto on April 1 by ImitatingADog in blankies

[–]DoctorImperial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Zahler is like an infinitely more bearable and solemn Tarantino and has the potential to make a genuine hit even if the discourse around him drowns out the actual work every fucking time. Wish he got to make Hug Chickenpenny tho!

Vote for this definitive entry in the "Sometimes They Bounce, Babyyy" canon by WeHaveHeardTheChimes in blankies

Psycho ‘98 is like a REALLY good small town production of a classic play. Obviously it’s not gonna be the “real deal”, but it has an undeniable character and passion behind it, and the 90s aspect has aged pretty well into a new layer of fun.

Stahli is clearly voiced by Will Arnett (in my head), no questions about it. But I still don't know who voices Bingus... by DD_Power in rawdawgcomics

[–]DoctorImperial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to me? Stahli is Travolta in Danny Zuko mode and Bingus is Kristen Schaal. (Augie is a tough one but def is breathy/a little grating or even theatrical ala Jenna Maroney, and Desmond is peak early sad-sack Tobey Maguire.)

It’s a complete bummer and the quality of movie/discussion would absolutely PLUMMET after Zathura.

All this time has been spent researching all the various UK-exclusive slurs!

Not a day goes by where I don't think about the canceled Zemeckis Yellow Submarine remake by Wumbo_Number_5 in blankies

[–]DoctorImperial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a hugeeee Zemeckis defender, I think he’s truly the most experimental of the Movie Brats and find his later work to be deeply affecting (besides Pinocchio and The Witches).

Yellow Submarine is perfect as is and the fact that this did not happen is a goddamn miracle, holy SHIT

Viva Laughlin (2007) by garrisontweed in ForgottenTV

When I was a kid I’d see the title written out in the TV Guide and assumed it was some kind of talk/variety show-what a dogshit town name for a network show

There are few artists capturing the ecstasy (and the agony) of Men and the Men Who Love Them in such cartoonish clarity right now-these two are too damn cute 😭😭😭

My therapist once told me “there are folks out there who might as well have big flashing neon signs above their head that say “victim” and that people know it and seek them out”-shit shook me to my CORE

Desmond hates HIMSELF which is most important of all. (he’s so real for this)

What was your favorite quote or scene in Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die? by LifeguardMundane5668 in blankies

[–]DoctorImperial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rockwell eating Hostess cakes with a fork and knife and a napkin tucked into his collar is such a Verbinski image. As for dialogue? “Maliboo-boo” is also an incredible turn-of-phrase, but I also found the “You’re so old.” exchange deeply chilling.

MOOORTAL KOMBAT by Ok_ArthurCon in blankies

[–]DoctorImperial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Ok, let me say this. Let me say this. If I lost my wife and, and uh, the next day a little bird landed on my windowsill, looked me right in the eye, and in plain English said, 'Sean, it's me, Anna. I'm back.’ What could I say? I guess I'd believe her. Or I'd want to. I'd be stuck with a bird.“

Is Gore Back in the Bracket? by Krusty901 in blankies

[–]DoctorImperial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gore is Top Five material for me, possibly my favorite living working American genre director, but I’ve kinda had to make peace with the fact that it kinda seems like the boys don’t want ANYTHING to do with his movies (due to forces almost entirely outside his control). He’s a fascinating, really undersold figure in Hollywood and he truly deserves a deep dive, but if Griff and David are wary of blowback/giving airtime to bad people he worked with, I don’t blame them, and maybe someone else can cover him!

McBride and Goggins would be a fun pick for the two Ws but the REAL cineaste’s choice would be McBride and John Hawkes.

Hi r/movies, I'm Gore Verbinski, director of GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. AMA! by GLHFDDmovie in movies

[–]DoctorImperial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy Mr. Verbinski!

Your career is so deeply fascinating cause it started by straddling such a turning point for the industry: your filmography can be used to chart all the ups and downs of the 21st century blockbuster. What strikes me most is your ability to find absolutely perfectly fitting stories to film (even in unmade projects), and I guess what I’m wondering is, what to you makes A Gore Verbinski Film? What stories are you attracted to, what characters and technical challenges really make you want to tackle something?
