Tidal has been recommending bits from this score for weeks. Generic dour modern action from what I heard.

People will be confused when The Lone Ranger doesn't show up, but you're right. NOT using the overture would be an enormous missed opportunity at best.

They’ll be waiting for the sequel where William Tell teams up with the Lone Ranger and spend the entire film bickering over whose theme it is. I’d watch that. 

[Marian Schedenig 11,600]

Rather than Rossini, I half expect the score to make excessive use of alphorn BRAAAHMs.

[tomsmoviemadness 4,762]

Album for William Tell has been out for over a month.

No Rossini to be found.

First teaser for Macon Blair's Toxic Avenger remake

 

 

[a good little monkey 75]

Cool to see some updates on THE TOXIC AVENGER, all the drama with the delays has been curious. Seems like it could be a fun, kind of stupid splatter comedy, but man is that a bizarrely cut teaser.

Hey a teaser for Paul Thomas Anderson's next movie 'One Battle After Another' starring Leonardo DiCaprio

 

 

[Edmilson 12,205]

This might be the riskiest bet of the year.

 

PTA might be a beloved director among movie nerds (I love Magnolia, Boogie Nights and There Will be Blood) but he ain't a box office titan.

 

This new movie costed over $100 million, and so far no one of his movies grossed enough to cover such budget.

 

TWBB is his highest grossing movie and it made only $77 million worldwide. This movie needs to earn almost four times that sum to be considered a success.

Obviously they're counting on Leo to bring people in. The Revenant was arguably a riskier bet and did incredible box office based on Leo fighting a bear. His only real box office failures since Inception were J Edgar and Killers of the Flower Moon and even then KotFM kinda did ok for what it was. At least this is an IMAX movie with guns. It's new territory for PTA too and I always felt he could make a good action spectacle based on the deal gone wrong in Boogie Nights, the frogs in Magnolia, and the fire in There Will Be Blood.

For the kids of the 2010s among us...

 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,879]

I'm not a kid of the 2010s, and I see enough Minecraft at the youth club that I help to run.

When will the world finally tire of Jack Black?

They say that if you have a movie in Hollywood that targets the kids/tweens demographic, you should call Jack Black. He almost always works for these kinds of movies: Kung Fu Panda, Jumanji (the more recent ones, not the 1995), the Mario movie, etc.

 

And actually this Micecraft movie is a clear attempt to replicate the formula that worked for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle into a movie and combine it with an IP that has become a generational favorite for people who were kids in the early 2010s.

 

In other words: it's a combo of elements to create the most predictable box office success of the year.

 

Unless the movie is crap and the fanbase is angered, of course.

My teenagers are very skeptical of the Minecraft movie. (We all loved the Mario movie.) But they have opening day tickets. Thankfully they are now old enough that I do not have opening day tickets.

It's been a long time since I took a teenager to the cinema (and that is not as weird as it sounds!).

I hope that doesn't have the same connotation as bringing one to a Leafs game.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,879]

It means that, in my time of working with children, I have often accompanied them to see a film.

[Marian Schedenig 11,600]

Reminds me of a music teacher friend of mine who once took her class to see The Devil's Violinist at the cinema, not having seen it before herself. Apparently it has a few scenes that would have had her decide against showing it to her kids, had she known beforehand.

Trailer for PTA's One Battle After Another

 

 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,879]

It's PTA, so it'll be worth watching.

[Edmilson 12,205]

I don't get it, so Leo is some sort of soldier who trained with revolutionaries, then had a child with one of them and now needs to rescue his daughter?

 

Seems a bit like Inherent Vice, and I didn't care for that movie at all.

Neither did I.

My overall impression was that it was trying to emulate THE BIG LEBOWSKI... which it hasn't got a single hope of doing.

 

(edit) I still really want to see PHANTOM THREAD.

It is true to me. Licorice Pizza was not good, nor was Inherent Vice. The rest of his work is good to very good. IMO, of course.

Of course; I understood that. I included the parenthetical aside so as not to be appear to be in tacit agreement.

 

Speaking of which, Inherent Vice is brilliant...

[Edmilson 12,205]

Phantom Thread is good. I didn't understand Inherent Vice, seems to be one of these movies that you'd need to be stoned to "get" it lol. Never saw Licorice Pizza, I don't really care for most coming of age stuff especially when it's set decades before I was born.
