Reply to Why do people hate Godfather Part 3 by Wank_God_69

I think it is because of the drop-off from the first two movies rather than how the movie is on its own. There is certainly a lot that I enjoyed about the movie, so I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

Reply to What great, classic movie should have a remake, even if most people know the ending? by FreeThinker76

Sort of related: does it make anyone else insane that there's an actual company named Soylent that makes some kind of beverage? Seriously why the fuck. I know it's probably not made of people but I don't want to try it anyway.

To answer your question, I feel like Troll 2 would be fantastic to get remade with a bit of a rewrite. The premise is actually pretty interesting, right? A kid is forced to vacation in a bizarre town where his sister's friends keep going missing, the ghost of his grandfather is trying to save the family but the kid is the only one who can see him and isn't believed by the family, and it turns out the town is inhabited by goblins who turn people into plants to eat them. I think it could make a good intentional horror comedy, with some script polishing (and with letting the actors give feedback that the script doesn't make sense).

Little trade secret too. Even most movies that claim they were shot in 3D, a lot of the time have to get converted anyways because something as simple as difference in light entering the two lenses unequally. Meaning if you watched the playback in 3D, it would look like a weird shimmer that only hurts your eyes. So we would have to choose one of the outputs from one of the cameras and convert that plate to 3D.

Reply to The Rock vs Con Air vs Face/Off ......which one was the best ? by Professional-Rip-519

Con Air followed by Face/Off.

Always felt The Rock should’ve been a better film seeing the cast, but it’s a film that leaves no breathing room. It’s like every actor is hyping something and it never gets to its destination. I will say that Arnold was suppose to be the Nick Cage role, I feel if he hadn’t passed up on it I think that movie would’ve worked for me.

Reply to Inglorious Basterds basement salute: wrong salute? by FlapJack_Mac

I never understand focusing on such minute details in a fictional movie. It’s like trying to prove it’s not real, but we all know it’s not real as it’s a scripted movie. Pointing out misinformation is important with a “documentary” like Plandemic, but with fiction it’s not so important. I have a buddy that is an ex-marine that focuses on the accuracy of medals in movies and it bugs him when they’re not accurate. If this scene is inaccurate I’m going to give Tarantino the benefit of the doubt since he likely had people on set that were supposed to handle accurately portraying military at the time.
