    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Haven't seen the movie and it's probably terrible, but from the trailer, I don't think it was much work for Travolta either. This clearly isn't some Disney blockbuster project where even (presently, not just formerly) big names are tied down for months and months with prep, tightly schedule...

    Joker (2019)

    Should've been sand. It's rough and coarse and know to produce super-villains.

    Jojo Rabbit (2019)

    Lol. Anyone calling anyone SJW for female Thor would be idiots anyhow. Jane Foster as Thor goes back to ... *checks wikipedia* ... a comic from 1978, lol.

    Yeah. He was talking about some DVT related issues on stream just last week www.twitch.tv/incontroltv/clip/InnocentObservantToadTwitchRPG He also was hospitalised in June for a Staph Infection according to his Twitter So there were health problems. Probably just underestimated the...

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    They 100% should've cast a real fish for this. Casting a human to play a half-human is clearly a middle finger to all aquatic craniates out there. Disgusting.

    Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

    Did the Guardians of the Galaxy have a fanbase pre-movie? The MCU is kinda famous for launching with all the (formally) trash-tier stuff like Iron Man, etc.., because all the stuff with an actual fanbase (at the time) like X-Men or Spiderman had been contracted out for moneys.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    The bombs fit fine with the way space ship combat always worked and still works in star wars, which is mostly early 20th century aerial dog fights over big naval ships (i.e. Star Wars big ships). The bombs are no more or less "realistic" than any given X-Wing turn or TIE-Fighter "screaming"...

    So did Bale film this pre-Vice or post-Vice? Lol

    Terminator (2019)

    Well, Cameron did the "this is the true sequel to T2"-thing before. He's more than happy to take a suitcase of money to talk up a some random Terminator sequel. Doesn't mean shit, IMO.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Yeah, Pattinson did good work. And Twilight certainly would look like a golden ticket for a young actor before the actual movies were made (and in some ways it was .. they were insanely successful). Can't be worse than fat Affleck.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    The idea of a "superhero" is by definiton a bad set-up for good storytelling in a classical sense. You want the protagonist or "hero" to be the underdog. The pot-bellied hobbit among legendary swordsmen. The fringe-of-the-galaxy farmboy. Etc.. Having the main guy (or girl) be imbued with more...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Sure. And so could've Tony Stark's Mary-Sue-Nano-I-make-whatever-I-need-armour which did just fine in Infinity War ... not to mention the convenient "steal-power-stones" gauntlet. There's plenty of shit like that in the MCU and always was, years before Captain Marvel ever appeared. The logic...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Well, there're a few of those. Tony Stark calls Thor "Lebowski", despite MCU Jeff Bridges being Obidiah Stane (or did Obidiah Stane play the Big Lebowski in the MCU?) Even before Endgame, in Spiderman Homecoming/Civil War, they made lots of Star Wars jokes and product placement (this being...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Sure. Predestination is great. The original story even more so. But it kinda relies on the entire thing being a closed loop. You get around most time travel issues if nothing actually changes. Stuff like Twelve Monkeys goes down the same path in a way. But that doesn't make for much of a super...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Well, the time travel ultimately will and won't ever hold up to super-critical analysis. There're movies (books, comics, etc..) that put a lot more effort into making it makes sense and still failed, and in Endgame, they essentially just threw just enough time-techno-babble at the screen to...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Looks good. Seems like they keep nailing it as long as it isn't a prequel. Was afraid the trilogy would catch the Solo/Rogue One shit-virus, but this looks fun.

    If it makes Netflix rethink their pricing, I'm all for it.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Well, cast clearly should've done more smiling. Pretty atrocious acting throughout. Not a single smile! Not Downey Jr. Not Evans. Not Ruffalo. Not Renner. Not SLJ. Nothing... How could anyone possibly relate to these pretentious cardboard actors as "heroes". Atrocious.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Pretty sure Disney want's to get their spandex heroes team-up movie out of the way first. They might actually drop a teaser/trailer with Avengers, perhaps. It'd make some sense from a marketing perspective.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    But if you truly stand absolutely motionless, nobody will see you, just like you didn't see Drax standing perfectly still in that trailer.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Movie was good. It's no Iron Man 3, but clearly the solo movies like Black Panther and Captain Marvel are still Marvel's strength. Wish they'd drop the bloated, pretentious team-up movies like Infinity War and explore the character more in their own lines. Too bad they put themselves into a...

    Aquaman (2018)

    Well, sure. Still, take a time machine back some 10 years and tell your younger self a full-fledged Justice League movie would end up behind a Dr. Strange movie and barely get to half of sequels (!) to utter Z-tier comic books like Guardians of the Galaxy! They've got some ground to recover.

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    Was a good movie. Rami was fantastic. They did take a lot of liberties with the story, timing of events, etc.. and clearly skewed it in favour of the non-Freddy band members. The entire Freddy-leaves-Queen, gets-lost-in-the-dark, redemption-at-live-aid arc is pretty questionable. Clearly it...

    The Witcher

    Not even sure the hair would need to be quite as long. Some things can be tweaked in translation to live action to capture the idea without mimicking every detail, no? Like the Anson Mount thing floating about. He"d look pretty good already without any make up to start with.
