    To Live In and Die in LA

    Was pretty basic by today’s standards, but was probably very stylish and Miami Vice like back in 1985. Just had never seen it. Lots of boobs. Some William Petersen dong if you are into that thing

    Shooter

    Hadn’t seen it since it came out and I just couldn’t remember all the ins and outs. Plus it has Kate Mara.

    Holland

    Is ridiculously fucking stupid. Part dark comedy part serial killer mystery all fucking lame. What's her name only does these wannabe Big Little Lies miniseries now and she looks like a ghoul with all the work she's had done to try and look like a 35 yo trophy wife for the roles.

    Big Trouble in Little China

    Had never seen it. I am guessing it was pretty cool back in the 80’s.

    The movie industry is really depressing right now. I was recently thinking that the quiet death of a mainstream book industry has hurt it more than people realize. A lot more of even blockbuster type movies came from books and short stories than people realize. Comic book movies are their own side bullshit that just is what it is. The visual world of Electric State actually looks interesting but I wonder if the actual story is good at all or if they just thought the vibe would sell it.

    Trying to tug at our hearts strings with 90's nostalgia shit. They did this 15 years ago with 80's nostalgia and now they're onto the 90's. The Twisted Metal TV show on Peacock did all of this much better and more creatively than the movie did.

    Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt's Guardians of the Galaxy shtick was a core aspect that just irritated me and felt extremely lazy.

    You're right about the book stuff. They're onto copying video games now since so much money goes into writing and acting already with them, and you have fully realized set pieces and situations that work better on film, tee'd up for you in a way where you can be 10x lazier than if you had to properly adapt a book.

    I guess that westerny steampunk future shit like that has frequently bombed especially when based on a flimsy piece of source material - Wild Wild West, The Lone Ranger, the original Westworld but for some reason they keep going back to it.

    It seems like they've made serious ground with making movies based on video games a lot better and I assume yeah part of that is they're starting now with games that have more story based worlds similar to movies already.

    My idea for a heist movie is based on the alleged fact that all of Bob Ross’ paintings are stored in a warehouse. That movie idea can’t be any worse than anything else Hollywood has come up with in the last 5-10 years.

    This is actually a pretty fun idea. It reminded me to confirm they made some sort of Bob Ross movie with Owen Wilson a couple years ago that no one saw. Also reminds me that they make way too much shit now whether it's movie or TV and it makes things feel less special so I don't feel like I need to watch them. I think losing revenues like home video hurt this but the industry was better when you could make a lot more money not actually getting things made so across the board creative people could pay their bills without having to get movies constantly made. Now everyone is sprinting to just chase paydays and it shows.
