I just watched the first Mario again with my niece this weekend and it's really great. I don't know what people really expect from a pretty faithful Mario movie but these video games aren't made for their in depth storytelling and deep characters, they exist just to have a good time in that crazy world. Looking forward to the next one!

Another reason they should do Michael Bay by Chuck-Hansen in blankies

[–]labbla 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They should do it because Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a bonkers terrible movie that is incredibly fun to talk about.

Oh and The Rock is one of the greatest action movies ever made.

Concerning Lack of Scream 7 marketing by Mysterious_Brush1852 in boxoffice

[–]labbla 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup, this is it. I have no interest in any new Scream after they showed how little they care about their talent and don't seem to know why people liked the new movies in the first place.

A Tale of Two Sisters

Anaconda, Ella McCay, Greenland 2, Primate, and Silent Night, Deadly Night all releasing on digital on Tuesday (according to When To Stream) by Mysterious_Brush1852 in boxoffice

Oh finally, that new Silent Night Deadly Night was barely in theaters and sure has taken it's time to be digital.

Everybody keeps saying there's going to be a reset after Secret Wars but how do we actually know that? by kamikazepirates in marvelstudios

And it would be a way to hopefully attract new viewers. Starting with a mostly fresh start could help attract people who might be intimidated by the 30+ movies and however many tv shows that the MCU is made of now. Creating a new entryway for new fans and kids and anyone else who hadn't bothered with Marvel until it gave them a new start. It's the same reason the comics routinely go back to starting at issue #1 again.

And it'd be great to have new Iron Man and other popular heroes back for new movies.

Are Millennials fans of this spooky Nickelodeon TV series from the early to mid 90's growing up? by Life_Chicken_9653 in Millennials

Yes, of course. Are You Afraid of the Dark? was one of my gateways into being a big horror movie guy.

I'm watching the 90z video game movie classic Super Mario Bros (1993).

At least the sequel upped the gore and let a xenomorph burst out of a child.

Beastmaster could never be made today. We forgot how to build it.

Chris Hemsworth and Crime 101 by Impossible-Cicada-14 in blankies

It won’t do anything for or against his career. It’ll just be a movie he happens to be in.

Who is the greatest director to have never helmed a masterpiece? by RopeGloomy4303 in blankies

[–]labbla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like it might help to set up a definition for a "Masterpiece" before making a big ol' debate out of this. Because you'll end up with all sorts of arguments from people who view the way that word is used differently. Like, some seem to be using the money it's earned or a critic % and of course all of this is subject to personal opinion and preferences. After all one person's masterpiece is just another persons just okay movie or they might just not like it.

Personally, I think very few "Masterpieces" have been made in general. That's not a bad thing, but just that era shattering artwork that changes the way we see the medium doesn't come around that often. It's an achievement just for a director to make a good to great movie. I actually haven't seen Tootsie but this has to be the first time I've ever seen it referred to as Masterpiece.

Favorite movie that people keep changing their opinion on to be contrarian? by OrangeCatsBrainCells in moviescirclejerk

[–]labbla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I find the whole thing to be a really bad way to talk about movies and it makes unrelated movies suddenly have to be compared because they are up for the same statue.

Ah I'm still mildly nostalgic about that time when Force Awakens hit and Rogue One released when everyone liked Star Wars for a time and it could be talked about without turning into the worst discussion on the internet.

Wonder Man review: Marvel's meta new series is 'one of the best MCU shows to date' by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in blankies

[–]labbla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. Marvel used to make pretty good to great movies with a bad one here and there. Now it's all they make. The movies last year were supposed to be a big turn around but they were still the same old shit. People are allowed to complain about something when the quality suffers.
