A24 4,331 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Jonathan Nolan: “The truth is, what we’re doing there is a 10-hour movie. It’s not really a TV series.

A24 4,331 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think HBO is pumping a lot of money in this. Both coming from Michael Crichton, I always preferred the Westworld idea over the Jurassic Park one. In Westworld the technology should serve human kind (like a holodeck but with robots) but in Jurassic Park, with its house-sized monsters, you're kinda asking for trouble. In the future, I can see robots being used in Disney World, but real dinosaurs? I don't think so.

Ricard 2,245 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I saw the sequel first and loved it. But I also loved Logan's Run that same year, so my opinion doesn't count. A24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't remembered. I was 15. I seem to recall it played more like a big budget Six Million Dollar Man. I enjoyed Race with the Devil and Dirty Larry Crazy Mary more.

A24 4,331 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 And a Nolan! But I'm celebrating Hopkins' return to television! And it's no ordinary TV, it's HBO! All craziness on a stick, Steef, the vibe I'm getting from this trailer is that Nolan is creating his own little Blade Runner Off-World universe. Am I the only one who is seeing that?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Trailer looks good, but I wonder if it won't all be too obvious. Neither JJ and any Nolan wants their audience to have to think too hard about things. I expect things will be spelled out for us more then needed.

A24 4,331 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 You're right. In the trailer we can already hear the characters spelling out the themes. I noticed that too. Well, if the show stinks, we always have the new MacGyver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Game of Thrones has made me lose faith in the HBO brand where its dramas and quality consistency are concerned. Lately they're more of a mainstream blockbuster outlet than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 HBO wants to appeal to the masses and get the big money. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you lower your expectations a tad. In the end of the day it's only TV, even if it's HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 I disagree. Many HBO shows are not geared towards the masses at all. They are geared towards an older, neglected, more sophisticated crowd that felt cinema has become too childish. However, in the case of Westworld, HBO may indeed want to create another goose capable of laying golden eggs, like Game Of Thrones. Is that so bad?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I agree with you Alex. Mass entertainment isnt a bad thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Peter Jackson would agree with you. But if it's mass appeal or escapism the HBO way, then please sign me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Also, if escapism like this is successful it means HBO has some money to spend on something perhaps a little bit less obvious, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Got no problem with blockbusters or mainstream, but it just means I have to be more choosy, no different to what I am when it's those sorts of movies. With HBO you could be about as close to consistency per episode as one could get in TV, it was a safe bet. But the fact is Game of Thrones is all over the place. Then every year we get those one or two incredible episodes in its second half and all is forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
