They’ve been casting about for a movie that’ll work as the last few haven’t come close to expectations. Makes sense to leverage the most successful streaming show of all time (I think.)
I mean, (uhhhh spoilers ahead) most of it sucked but Boba riding that Rancor brought childhood dreams to life as I’m pretty sure I made him do that a few times. Admittedly, he had a lightsabers in 7 year old me’s version but nothing’s perfect.
Boogie Nights - Paul Thomas Anderson made it a point that the characters not make any significant growth during the course of the film. It’s a masterclass of largely lateral movement.
Happiness (1998) - one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s best roles.
The Talented Mr. Ripley - another one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s best roles.
I can’t let this go: Joel McHale’s character in It’s A Wonderful Knife was an outright bad guy that gets zero comeuppance. In the original timeline, he’s the mayor’s stooge with zero spine, helping bully Cigarette Smoking Man into selling his place. Then, a year later, he’s cruelly favoring his son over his daughter, ignoring her future and getting her workout clothes for Christmas while he partners with his son and buys him a new truck. Then, in the alternate timeline, he’s off COMMITTING MURDERS, which his daughter stops by KILLING HIM. But then, in the end, the timeline reverts, and he’s seen giving Winnie a camera for Christmas and… all is well? Winnie still has a terrible, spineless, one-corporate-ultimatum-away-from-being-a-serial-killer dad. But it’s cool cuz she has a girlfriend now. 🤯
The AI just kind of forgot about his comeuppance. I knew it was bad when watching it, but forgot about the possibility of it being an AI script until they brought it up and it makes so much sense.
Hey, it’s not as if they could have involved the people who did the animated series or the Arrowverse TV series, both of which have been very successful.
Seeing as the article doesn’t really say much about the movie itself, just the logitistics and financials of making it:
with Cage reprising his role as arms dealer Yuri Orlov, and Skarsgard on board to play his son. In Lords of War, Orlov discovers he has a son, Anton, who is trying to top his father’s wrongs rather than stop them as he launches a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts.
Hard agree on the Coen brothers, their filmography is absolutely stellar. Other than them I think Hayao Miyazaki deserves a mention here. Dude basically never missed in his entire carreer as a director.
I was expecting a straight list. This is the movie equivalent of an online recipe that has to start with the chef’s life story first…
If I had to list out the stuff that made an impression on me, it’s an absurdly high count of Harrison Ford:
Star Wars
Empire
Jedi
Raiders
Temple of Doom
Last Crusade
Blade Runner
Witness
After Hours
Brazil
Buckaroo Banzai
Big Trouble in Little China
Ghostbusters
Silverado
Star Trek II
Star Trek IV
