By Kidjr Go To PostIs that what they were trying to do lmao, always felt odd to me, but gosh endgame is so good. Entertainment historyhumanity is finished
Infinity War is a better movie, but Endgame is fun. I actually groaned when we got to the big battle because I forgot we needed to have on of those and I was having fun up to then.
Big battle conveniently in an open field, again.
I'd also argue the fight with Thanos when he pulls the moon down on the cast is far more fun than any moment in Endgame. Not to mention the opening salvo where he beats the shit out of Hulk and turns him into a bitch for the rest of his life.
Oh, and in hindsight, the time travel bit was just a cute way of doing a fanservice montage.

endgame is fun but that final fight lacks umph, for every single player being involved it is kind of disappointing and lacking in great sequences
but i think we all know infinity war is the better movie, while endgame was just like a victory lap for the MCU

By bud Go To Postbuncha nerds watching avengers movies lmaoooooI'm fascinated by the concept of Kurosawa's Yume, a collection of tales based on his actual dreams.
you could really peer into someone's psyche by delving into their subconscious mind, like, a story could write itself.
I dunno why I quoted you but here take it
I watched Jodorowsky's Dune a few years ago and I could've sworn it ends with him dying at the end. But nope, he's still around
“I saw the trailer. It’s very well done,” Jodorowsky said. “We can see that it is industrial cinema, that there is a lot of money, and that it was very expensive. But if it was very expensive, it must pay in proportion. And that is the problem: There [are] no surprises. The form is identical to what is done everywhere. The lighting, the acting, everything is predictable.”
Jodorowsky continued, “Industrial cinema is incompatible with auteur cinema. For the former, money comes before. For the second, it’s the opposite, whatever the quality of a director, whether my friend Nicolas Winding Refn or Denis Villeneuve. Industrial cinema promotes entertainment, it is a show that is not intended to change humanity or society.”
In an interview with IndieWire at the beginning of August, Jodorowsky remained skeptical that any director could successfully pull off a “Dune” film adaptation. After Jodorowsky failed in the 1970s, David Lynch stepped in to mount a “Dune” adaptation in the 1980s. Lynch’s “Dune” was released in 1984, but the director lost final cut and disliked the theatrical release so much that he lobbied to get his name off it.
“‘Dune’ is a book that’s like Proust. It’s science fiction but it’s very, very literary,” Jodorowsky told IndieWire. “It’s very difficult to find images to put in the film because pictures are optical…The first time they said it was safe to do ‘Dune,’ and [David Lynch] did it, I was ill, because it was my dream. They showed the picture in Paris, and my son said, ‘You need to see the picture.’ I was ill to do that. Ill. And then they start to show the picture, and step by step, I was so happy because it was a shitty picture. I realized, ‘Dune,’ nobody can do it. It’s a legend.”

Where's the lie though
30 years from now we'll be able to look at Villeneuve's Dune and know exactly when it was made. WB never pushes boundaries aesthetically, none of them do. The genre/blockbuster look has become the visual language of cinema in the 10s-20s

OK sure. But the point about them all having the same style based on trends and financially similar comps is well taken

By FortuneFaded Go To PostWhat era is The Thief and The Cobbler from?pre digital post golden age
but thief and the cobbler was enver finished either so weird example
it's an odd example too because Williams literally paid some of the Disney old 9 men to teach him while making the Thief, so it's especially a product of its time.
There's some standout films which stand the test of time and where you'll be hard pressed to give an exact era if you'd never seen them.
Alien and 2001 come to mind.

I think Alien and 2001 would have people guessing more recently than they came out but nobody intelligent is going to be guessing 2000's.
Usually the technology UI effects are the giveaway
This:
Will eventually look as dated as this:
Something like TNG is the exception because of the simplification/stylization:
To me, the starship UI in Picard already looks worse than the stickers they threw up on walls in 1987
It really is all about the design. That's Jodorowsky's point. Timeless design is POSSIBLE, but it's usually hampered when it has to go through the quote "cutting edge" unquote Hollywood comp machine

By Laboured Go To PostI'm somehow both amused and distraught that Bad Boys 2 is in fact on that list.
i wish they'd do more of those buddy cop movies.
they're great.
whenever people talk about de niro's filmography and performances, i feel they always leave out midnight run.
that is a great and funny movie. please watch it.
