nothing against dumb action flicks, but there seem to be people who don't remember the pre-MCU times
Five tickets to Barbie please
"Wouldn't you like to see Oppenheimer more?"
No.
:gigachad: :gigachad-hd: :chad-stalin: :chad: :yes-chad: :soviet-chad:
He's already charged with the murder of every human in history
(just imagine I'm neera or something)
they grey-scale Chad is actually a small statuette of himself that the actual Chad brings everywhere.
I cannot deal with the oppenheimer movie being called oppenheimer, dumbest possible name.
Asshole had pretty much no remorse for Hiroshima or Nagasaki so he doesn't deserve a cool title
Lol the only original film on that entire list is a biopic about the guy in charge of the Manhattan project what the fuck man
The first one was nice and psychologically disturbing, with allegories to a descent into madness and hell on the river styx & a sadistic capitalist slowly killing off children apathetically. All that papered over with dry British humor.
No more are needed.
I hope they make the Oompa Loompas look like the goombas from the live action Mario movie.
I want them to be immigrants from a South American Maoist breakaway republic that happens to know a lot about chocolate. (Like maybe the USSR's chocolate imports had to be routed through there for a while.) They're unionized, well paid, and free to roam about the town. If you say anything racist to them they'll turn you into a blueberry and roll you into traffic, singing and dancing all the while.
Edit: the 1971 Willie Wonka movie canonically exists in the universe of the new movie. It was bankrolled by Wonka Corp. in order to get in front of a PR problem of some sort. It has developed a cult following but can't be shown on TV anymore because the oompa loompas are portrayed by white men in orangeface.
Edit 2: the earliest mentions of this group in the international media referred to it strictly as OOMPA ("Organización de Obreros Maoístas en Puno y Arequipa"), a name which still has some currency among the locals, although obviously the indigenous name is preferred. After OOMPA re-merged with its short-lived offshoot LOOMPA ("Leninist" OOMPA), the rather clunky modern name (which the locals tend not to like) began to appear in State Department publications and thereafter in mass media.
OOMPA (“Organización de Obreros Maoístas en Puno y Arequipa”)
ded :michael-laugh:
:order-of-lenin:
LOOMPA is a much better acronym than POOPA, the Posadist splinter faction which wanted to downplay the Maoist tendencies of the parent group
Yep, and Road Dahl's wife vouched that he would've liked it much more than the Mel Stuart's version, since it was much more faithful to the book.
There were rumors for years about a gritty reboot of Barney the Dinosaur that turned out to be true
Can’t wait to watch John wick do the same exact thing he’s done for the past 360 minutes
:yes-chad:
I will enjoy that dumb action movie... What I won't do is pretend it's part of the best year in movies ever.
i am a dumb little ape when i watch them. the acting and writing are so atrociously bad, but the fight scenes just make my brain go :le-monke:
The John Wick movies have been objectively in the top 10 releases every year they came out. Fight me
I will join you on your side of this fight. They're pretty good. Better than most things in the theater 100%
This had better be the very last John Wick, and he'd better have dismantled the assassin syndicate by the time the credits roll. We spent all of movie 3 emphasizing how John's quest is futile, how he gains nothing from it except a feeling of self-respect, how he has burned every single bridge as he chews through every other person on earth willing to kill for money. There's nothing more to the arc other than to complete it.
...And they had better let Billie Eilish have a fight scene with no stunt double.
This but unironically
I want to watch John Wick Shoots Another 300 Dudes Directly in the Face (Again)
I am excited for Dune II Fremen Boogaloo but I didn't know it was coming out next year I thought it was a few more years off.
What the fuck, a Hunger Games prequel, lmao. Kind of missed the boat on that one.
...There was a Creed 2?
What the fuck, a Hunger Games prequel, lmao. Kind of missed the boat on that one.
nah i reckon we're in prime conditions for a YA dystopia revival of some sort, there's definitely room for a Gen Z YA genre glut
Fuckin' love how a historical drama is just gently nuzzled into that screaming CGI fireworks show as if that lends legitimacy to anything
Drake became some sort of weird pedophile and fled the country
Josh had a glow-up and seems relatively normal for a child celebrity
Real divergence of paths
Im about to go full esoteric QAnon I swear to god
something something drakes and dragons creeping on women since ancient and mythological history etc.
i hope Oppenheimer has a climactic final battle where Oppenheimer has to shoot lasers at a giant sentient mushroom cloud.
I swear to God they better not have infringed on my prospective film Death by Cloud
I would kill for a Roman epic at this point. Like, there is so much more we know about the Ceaserean period now than we did in the 80's. Even if it's a big schlocky thing, it would at least be something different.
Any kind of historical or even alt-history epic would be good. When was the last big budget historical epic that wasn't just History™ with Hollywood™ Movie Trope® Characteristics? When are we ever getting another Laurence of Arabia? Or Ghandi? Or anything like that? Those movies felt real in a way that barely any others do. The movie Laurence of Arabia is practically part of history itself at this point. Can't imagine an American movie ever doing that. I guess if they did do a historical movie it would be so full of revisionism and lies that it would be unbearable to watch anyways.
For months a friend was trying to source local history books for his son for christmas. He ended up buying him a funko-pop.
just watching that Rome hbo show really shows how authentic someone can make ancient period pieces now, and that shit was comparatively cheap. i'd kill for Cleopatra money going into a project like that
Some dipshit at the Marketing dept:
"A roman epic you say?"
"Got it, Gladiator 2 and 3 coming out summer 2025-7. " :so-true:
Average chapo.chat user:
"No not like that!" :horror:
look i've really tried not be a bougie indie snob anymore, but i'm at the point now where all i want from mass culture is to make it canon that every single character from an established franchise has been permakilled by the piss wizard
Comic books keep trying this and the superheroes keep getting rezzed by fiat.
hope you're ready for a 25-year cycle of movies, tv-shows and tie-in books all about the Piss Wizards Rampage Through The Multiverse. The proceeds ends up creating the worlds first trillionaire.
:lathe-of-heaven:
Like in all things, the further you get from mainstream the more like you are to find an actual idea.
It looks like a list made by robots for robots to watch. Just to make the machine happy.
