A24 4,337 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The only problem I have is Natalie Portman. Not that she's a bad actress but there's something about her that makes it difficult for me to fully buy into her characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Trailer for Woody Allen's latest is up! This could be really good.

Brónach 1,302 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I love the first one, but here the aesthetic is a bit lost. No longer night, rain, rusty metal, neon city lights. The Jaegers look a bit too similar to each other... and they almost move like Evangelions. I liked that they were kind of slow in the first one. I wonder if they'll do weirder kaiju or if they'll be like the first movie's... And they're making seem Mako almost unimportant this time around... I think it will be inferior.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Not really a "future" film since it's available to stream now, but I just learned of its existence and it's new. It's a feature length documentary that is just about the shower scene in Psycho. Color me intrigued. I hope to find time to watch it this weekend.

Naïve Old Fart 9,533 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I was thinking of TFA, actually. Although well reviewed, ATB didn't make much money. Many critics praised Boyega, however. This is typical Hollywood mentality: find a fresh, young face who's just had astronomical - no pun intended - (supporting) success, stick him as the lead in a very expensive film, and, hey presto, watch as all your hard-earned gets flushed down the toilet. Too much responsibility, too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I didn't have any interest in the first Pacific Rim and I have no interest in this one, but it seems a little early to be eulogizing Boyega's career as a leading man.

A24 4,337 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 That's true but I'm not sure if Pacific Rim 2 will be a good showcase for his leading man abilities. It does feel like hey, let's not think about it and get that guy from TFA. Whatever he does, he will be crushed by the CGI monster scenes (or by the Michael Bayness of it all).
