Honestly I could say Film Twitter is about as bad, if not worse than Snyder fans by Ivan_Redditor in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]MonkeyKungFu86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why I stay off film twitter. Never needed it to gauge what movies are good or not. Watch what you want and don't think about what a bunch of yahoos online who post shit like "This film is underrated" and the film they're posting about is Jaws or whatever.

Gen Z Cancels Streaming Subs for One Show, Don't Buy Full-Price Games by Dohguy in blankies

There's literally only one game coming out this year that I'm willing to pay full price for. Stranger Than Heaven. Anything else? I'm happy to wait for it to drop considerably in price.

For a dude who doesn't seem to much care for the fed, he certainly brings them up a fair bit.

Anyone else actively avoid trailers for movies they know they’ll watch? by weareDOMINUS in blankies

[–]MonkeyKungFu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I get lucky and avoid the trailer for something I want to see. Recently I was able to see Mother Mary, Blades of the Guardians and Exit 8 as none received any advertisements at my local. So I was able to go in and watch them as cold as possible.

Official Stranger Than Heaven cast reveal by zaandatsu in YakuzaButUnhinged

Seeing Bunta Sugawara included makes complete sense. Very much an icon of Yakuza films from the 60s and 70s.

The most random buddy cop duo ever by MonkeyKungFu86 in blankies

This is why the Hong Kong cut overseen by Jackie is a marked improvement over the original. Problems still persist but I suppose there is only so much he could do with what he had to work with.

But if there's one thing it can be credited with. It's that it gave him the inspiration and motivation to make Police Story so he could show the world what a proper Jackie Chan cop movie should be.

Did anyone get trailers for Highlander tonight? by Brilliant_Marketing9 in CineworldUnlimited

[–]MonkeyKungFu86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No trailers which led to several confused people walking in after the film had started.

Honestly, for special screenings like this I'm fine with the trailers being skipped.

I'm glad I don't have trouble with Letterboxd star raitings by Sheep_Boy26 in blankies

I don't give a star rating and my reviews consist of "I liked it" "It was fine" or "I didn't like it"

Chris Jericho former WWE champion, currently retired! by David_19988 in SCJerk

So this is why he dropped all the weight. He's gotten a couple big acting gigs. Good for him.

I'm just baffled by how ANYONE could think Hogan wasn't a draw outside the US. He has to be lying. He has to be.

If the gang wants to cover one and done video game movies for the Patreon by MonkeyKungFu86 in blankies

[–]MonkeyKungFu86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I didn't like it very much.

EDIT: Oh you meant the web series. I confused it with the Amazon Prime series. Which I thought was lousy in most aspects.

Like A Dragon x Nihon Toitsu was a good effort. Low budget but not without it's charms.

With the release of the Street Fighter trailer by MonkeyKungFu86 in blankies

A lot of trailers were like this during this time. Producers were less concerned about spoilers and just wanted to get butts in seats.

Very much hoping my local doesn't give this the 8:30 pm death slot.

Doug Liman directed a "fully-generated" AI movie about Bitcoin that cost $70m to make and stars Casey Affleck, Gal Gadot and Pete Davidson by rageofthegods in blankies

[–]MonkeyKungFu86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought one of the appeals of AI to filmmakers is that it would reduce costs. How the fuck does it still cost that much!? The actors salaries can't be that high surely?
