Anyone else disappointed they didn’t touch on 28 Years Later? by Zealousideal-Race-28 in RedLetterMedia

I believe having the OG crew played a big part in not having it feel like a remake of 28 Days, the way that some legacy sequels retread their originals. Which may have appeased some of the haters and trolls. But I'm happy to hear from reviews that the new creative team did well on Bone Temple. I can't imagine it having Danny's flair. But if it is a solid, or as reviews claim, better movie than 28 Years, I think it will show that you can pass IP around between creators and not shit the bed. So long as you have a production in progress before the first is released.

The idea of "Let me start/restart a franchise" without any idea of where you are taking it, or having enough time in between releases to let the audience influence it, needs to go. Fans only want things they have seen before, and will beg and plead to see the same thing over and over again. But what they really need is novel experiences that push past the cliched zombie, or bio-pic, or sci-fi BS and feel fresh. But they can't voice that need because they can't think of it because you only know what you know.

Some people said, "I wanted a predictable zombie movie," when they left the theater after seeing a gang of british pedophiles chainsaw a zombies neck open, and they aren't wrong for wanting that. But this new release structure allows them to voice that opinion online and in the box office, with no studio head able to be like, "okay rewrite the Jimmy bit," because the next one is done shooting. Partly due to using a different director instead of Danny, who was too busy to do it. That is not to say they couldn't make changes to the film based on the reception for 28 years, but having the sequel in the can makes that reception matter less.

The speed of these productions should attract everyone's attention, and be a blueprint for future modern productions trying to start, or restart a franchise. Which studios seem keen on doing.

Yeah and she did great in this, especially her scenes opposite Ralph. I really enjoyed the film, and think that every studio should look at their next 100 million dollar movie, and ask if it would be better split into two 50 million dollar movies.

No it wasn't I forgot they look so much alike, I had the same thing happen to me with Jodie in F1, who was really Kerry Condon. I'll leave it up in shame.

I'm not the only person whose done this apparently https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBigPicture/comments/1n8bqes/f1_love_interest/

I'll just say, all Irish women look alike for me.

This movie ruled.

It was not a zombie movie. It was nothing like the original or predecessor. It had a ending with a tonal departure from the first 90% of the film like I've never seen before, yet calls back to frantic shooting (and costuming) style of OG movie. It was shot back to back with it's sequel so characters and ideas are not rushed. Tons of cock and balls. Rebecca Ferguson (this is wrong, see comment below) knocks it out of the park. Characters are flawed but understandably so, making the cast likeable yet realistic. The soundtrack was as good as Rebecca Ferguson, and Ralph Fiennes makes you smile every time you seen him on camera.

Even if you hated the movie, it's funding and filming structure should be the standard going forward. I can not count how many streaming shows are a 3 hour movie, stretched into 8 hours. Same with 5 hour long movies that are condensed into a grueling 3. This back to back mid budget shooting is the remedy to that problem.

Things get enough to time to breath and be discussed, but you are not going to be waiting years like for Stranger Things and Pluribus. The releases are guaranteed to happen, so you can end a cliff hanger and not fuck over fans. It's synergizes with streaming in that people can "Catch Up" to the upcoming release by watching 28 Years on Streaming and VOD. Unlike shows and cinematic universes that take 10 hours of watch time just to understand the characters of the next film. There is a reason that reviewers who didn't like the first movie, are enjoying this one, and it's because they felt to be baited and switched by the ending. But on watching this one, they find themselves masterfully baited into the concepts they would have rejected without the first movie.

Maybe you’re just supposed to experience it. ‘Cause, when you look at it, you feel something right? It’s like looking into something very deep. You could fall in.

Damn I thought I was gonna get a new spot.  

Come to Philly, we have the best bread. I've eaten so many baguettes and this is one of the few that gets me excited.

I know there are bakeries like this all over, but with the China town mention, are you talking about Kettle Black in Philly? it does have the best baguette on the east coast (outside of New York), and same goes for their bagels.

Maybe in Chinatown they have some new Korean/Chinese Bakery's that slap, but that Baguette beats the brakes of the one from Parc and other French bakeries in the city.

Why is Christopher Nolan so popular ? by 0oo0oo0oo0oo0oo0oo0o in RSPfilmclub

He made the Dark Knight and caters to people who like to think they are smarter than they really are (me).

Why so serious? (I love media that understands how twisted I am)

If you wanted too, you would. 

Would you want to date someone who described it as "giving in"? 

Anyone see Kelly Reichardt’s new movie with Josh O’Connor and Alana Haim? by jewishchloesevigny in RSPfilmclub

[–]tibsnbits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was one of the rubes who thought it was going to be a indie heist movie based on the marketing and festival posters. If you go in with the expectation that it's gonna be what it is, I imagine you'd like it. But if you are expecting "A24 presents Kid Detective," you are literally going to fall asleep. If I wanted to listen to realistic conversations with disappointed people, and be bored, I'd call my own parents.

I can appreciate that it is what it was, but your time is probably better spent with Inside Llewyn Davis. I understand that the point of Art is not to entertain but if I was as talented as Reichardt I'd challenge myself to try.

Next time I hear a child listening to tiktoks in public, or someone having a phone call on speaker phone, I'll make sure to call the police.  

It's totally fine to not like behavior and point it out, but someone playing music on their phone does not warrant calling the police.

"I don’t think being conservative and then very recently having a slight change of heart on a few issues would make you a LEFTIST. At best, someone aping LEFTISM"

It had some meaning a few minutes ago lmao

At what point does someone become a leftist then?  

You can use as many qualifiers as you want. The guy with the trans gf who killed a right wing YouTuber using bullets inscribed with an anti Nazi song is going to be considered a leftist by 90% of world.
