They also think Disney has Tim Allen locked in a closet somewhere for his political views despite the fact that he currently stars in his own Disney+ show

I don't think it was marketed wrong. It just wasn't marketed at all. Its a really weird movie and I think Disney realized they didn't have a winner on their hands so they just tried to let it slide under the radar. This kind of feels like this generation's version of Atlantis or Treasure Planet

"spaceman" is a generous nickname for him. Also, he actually is bad

You're mostly right and I think we can all ignore the 13 year old troll, but Kung Fu Panda is pretty fire tbh

Not a single person on Earth thinks that

>That 'stupid' voice in the Mario game is exactly why Chris's Mario voice is in fact wrong.

That voice works in the game when he just yells short phrases and exclamations. It would not work in a movie where he needs to speak in full sentences.

>the gaming landscape seems to be more original and full of ideas than cinema, which for the most part is only remakes, reboots, sequels, new films but already seen?

This just reads like you're not actually paying attention to what's going on with movies. There are a ton of great, original movies coming out, you just have to look a little harder to find them. This would be like saying videogames suck because Call of Duty and Fifa have been pumping out the same game for 20 years.

I rewatched All the President's Men for the first time in like 10 years. Still a banger

The longer this headline went on, the less interested I got in this movie.

Lou Ferrigno

High and Low. Arguably the best crime movie ever made and my favorite of Akira Kurosawa's films.

Is that the one where Kermit did 9/11?

>I did not like the comedy here. I don't think comedy belongs to horror, and to me it just did not fit right.

Well there's your problem. Pretty much every other bullet point in your post is just a joke that you didn't like. It's fine if this isn't your kind of thing, but this movie is a really well done horror/comedy

Ironically the Blair Witch sequels are infinitely worse than the Paranormal Activity sequels, most of which are actually pretty watchable.

She put that movie on her back and ran with it, gave the best monologue of the year, and acted her ass off during the closing credits. The only reason it's not being considered for the Oscar is because of the genre

Check out some of her earlier work. She's great in A Cure for Wellness and the Suspiria remake

Shout-out to Mia Goth getting the nomination for Pearl. I still don't think she has a shot at Oscar recognition but she absolutely deserves it. My favorite performance of the year

High and Low is probably my favorite Kurosawa movie (Throne of Blood is a pretty close second) and I think it's also probably his most accessible movie for modern audiences. I think it was influential enough that it should feel familiar to anyone who likes Fincher or Bong Joon Ho. Plus OP mentioned trying to get into 8 1/2 so I felt like I should include a foreign language pic.

Great list. I'll add a few

Dr Strangelove

High and Low

The Third Man

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Check out this collection on Criterion. They're all films made in the last 20ish years and predominantly foreign with some lower budget and lesser known American movies that you may have missed

Criterion Channel has a shitload. HBO Max has a pretty solid selection too

>The remake was not too shabby with great performances.

This might be the only example I can think of where a remake is exactly as good as the original. There are a few examples where the remake is better and a lot of examples where the remake is worse, but this is the only one I know where both films are of roughly the same quality.

Free Guy is probably the worst example of this

>Star Wars was an adaptation of an existing work(King Arthur) just in a different setting.

Lord of the Rings probably takes just as much from King Arthur as Star Wars does. If you wanted to accuse Star Wars of adapting anything, you could say it's just 3 or 4 Kurosawa movies mashed together and set in space

>But yes I agree they shouldn’t really be compared.

You're the one that specifically asked people to compare them

I don't think you can really compare them and I'm not sure why you'd want to. They were made 25 years apart on vastly different budgets with different levels of technology available. Star Wars is an original story rather than an adaptation of existing work like LotR. They're both groundbreaking blockbuster trilogies and I think it's doing both of them a disservice to try to put them against each other instead of just appreciating them for what they are
