Lebron James is an idiot manbaby who thinks that now he has enough capital the only way to one-up Michael Jordan and become the greatest of all time is to produce his own Space Jam movie. This is the reality we live in.
It’s honestly no more ridiculous than any Marvel or DC movie
the movie gave me douche-chills
Combined with the smashing box office success, the inevitable Oscar nomination and likely win will cement American animation as the leading cultural force in the world once again. Sounds like you are jealous of American exceptionalism.
It’s pretty sad when the videogame is of far higher quality than the movie, but that’s how you people like it isn’t it? Get a grip. FYI it felt nothing like the videogame. If you played them you’d know the whole point was about traveling at ridiculous, cartoonishly breakneck speeds along sweeping vistas, the movie had none of that but was more like drag-racing at a lame 75mph between teenagers.
I think you missed the memo where it has to be a <i>willing</i> suspension of disbelief. A story still has to follow some kind internal logic, especially when it’s set in our world.
Care to elaborate? Many of these movies have gothic overtones which the lack of colour accentuates. Night of the Living Dead, for example, is arguably creepier in b&w compared to its colourized version.
Sadly it’s pretty common.
One of my favourite Adam Sandler movies
Nah, movies like ‘In Cold Blood,’ ‘Repulsion,’ ‘Doctor Strangelove,’ ‘Paper Moon,’ ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Persona,’ Schindler’s List,’ ‘Night of the Living Dead’ are post-1962 and would look terrible in colour. B&W adds gravitas and depth to the imagery.
Next people are going to start complaining that Fresh Prince of Bel-Air wasn’t diverse enough
No, mainstream filmmaking is dead as an art form. Sort of like rock music. But it had a good run while it lasted, I’d say a good 100 years.
No, Casino Royale was the reboot. Everything from Dr No (1962) to Die Another Day (2002) were the same continuity.
The Borg (TNG)
1970s were the beginning of the blockbuster era, so we had Godfather, Exorcist, Jaws, Star Wars, and Alien which were all amazing. But 1960s were the beginning of the New Hollywood era and the last of the Hayes Code/studio system, so it had a bit of both. I might have to choose the 70s for sheer entertainment, but the 60s in terms of quality for the amount of studio epics (eg Lawrence of Arabia and Sound of Music). It’s a tie!
I would say it was the advent of films by Michael Moore, Al Gore, and films that raised environmental awareness such as March of the Penguins and Grizzly Man that led to the explosion of documentary’s popularity in the 2000s. And don’t forget ‘Supersize Me.’
The only time there would have been hand to hand combat for him would be at the Battle of Guadalcanal, but even that was no guarantee, especially if he was in the rear. The majority of US army and marines in the Pacific never even saw a Japanese soldier.
I don’t think he was ever a true AAA leading man. The only film where he maybe was is Batman, but even that was carried by the popularity of its brand and the rest of the cast threatening to overshadow him. At times I forget Kilmer was even in Batman Forever.
I found the whole thing really cringey, it was like some guy watched Death Wish and The Incredibles and tried mixing them together.
I’ve got a lot of bottle
