New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

look at this garbage coming out in a few months. its practically a beat for beat remake of the Firestarter from the 80s, but with a horrible cast of shit actors.

You can't keep pushing this thread on movies that don't deserve it

I mean this movie is probably going to be shit, but it has a real cast and could end up being whatever.

The director made the Paddington movies which are wonderful and the cast looks real solid. It wont get much attention here but it has a real chance to be a really good kids movie.

And yea posting that movies that dont deserve it thread on this but not on a fucking Dinesh D'Souza film is laughable

Is chocolate slang for spice?

Long live the fighters

C'mon, that is literally catnip for dog big brains

I can see why that movie would generate enough discussion for it to have its own thread

They already did a true sequel, it is called Snowpiercer.

The chocolate extends life. The chocolate expands consciousness. The chocolate is vital to space travel.

the dinesh dsouza film made 10 million before it went to box office. there is a lot of interest in that subject. how much interest do you think there is in a Willy Wonka prequel? especially after Tim Burton turned Wonka into Michael Jackson?

The interest may be high but it's still a niche movie. Unlike a Willy Wonka movie - established franchise, established/beloved books - and crucially unrestricted by political affiliations

I agreed that the mule movie deserved its own thread, but that's only because this board of big brains is the target audience. That doesn't mean a franchise movie like wonka doesn't

Would love to see a crime thriller where Wonka starts a drug empire with a chocolate factory as a front that ends in him going fully legitimate. Breaking Good: A Wonka Story

Just can't leave well enough alone.

Lanx you son of a bitch, beat by 1min.

elidib · Jul 11, 2023

I'm gonna be honest.

That looks fucking cringe.

From the focus on the BIPOC sidekick, the exaggerated dialogue style, the "we need to explain the origins of every little thing from the original", and the modern forced humor undercutting every serious moment.

This will be another Han Solo-esque trainwreck.

I don't want to watch a movie ever again.

Arbitrary · Jul 11, 2023

The bit with the Oompa Loompa was cute but everything about this rings hollow. It wants to be whimsical but is instead spurious.

I don't think CGI helps attempts at live action fairy tales in the slightest. It doesn't look fantastical. It looks cheap.
