So, the original Mad Max and Road Warrior are two of my favorite films of all time and I'm a huge fan of the character in general, but I've yet to see Fury Road after the initial consensus that it was shilling feminist bullshit. Time has passed, what do we think now? Should I watch it or is it still considered tumblr-tier garbage?
More Ghostbusters says Sony
Sony plans on making more Ghostbusters spinoffs including a possible tv show… Oy…
>With its female-centric “Ghostbusters” set to bow next summer, Sony is now looking to find other ways to capitalize on the franchise by creating the production company Ghost Corps, which will spawn a “Ghostbusters” universe through branding opportunities based on the hit films.
>“Ghostbusters” helmer Ivan Reitman and writer-star Dan Aykroyd will head up the company along with Reitman’s Montecito Production partners Tom Pollock, Ali Bell and Alex Plapinger. The focus of the banner will be to find ways to capitalize on the “Ghostbusters” name through movies, TV projects and merchandise.
>The banner’s first order of business is developing a “Ghostbusters” pic that will serve as a counterpart to the Paul Feig female-driven one that will begin production in June.
>“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” directors Anthony and Joe Russo are loosely attached to direct, with Channing Tatum and producing partners Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan also coming on to produce. Drew Pearce is on board to pen the script.
>The film is in very early stages, with the Russos still busy directing the “Captain America: Civil War” and possibly an “Avengers” movie. It’s not clear whether Tatum would star, given his busy schedule, but the studio is hopeful this can happen.
>Tatum is repped by UTA and Management 360 with the Russos and Pearce both repped by WME. Deadline Hollywood first reported the news.
IGN Zootopia review
>Zootopia reflects the world
>Zootopia don't monkey around with serious topic like racial relations & gender roles
People said IGN games reviews were bad. IGN literally inserting identity politics into a children movie that's not even in the film to begin with. San Francisco progressives are just as sickening as what the furries done to Zootopia.
Jackie Chan appreciation thread?
This guy has to be the greatest action star of my lifetime. My older cousins used to mail-order his Hong Kong movies and watch them with us.
I was about 8 when he broke the western market. I can't watch many of his films without a smile on my face. It just sucks when they try to get him to do serious acting except in the Karate Kid remake, where he carries a movie I would have hate otherwise.

An idear
Hey /tv/ figured I'd share this iidea for a TV series. Feel free to steal.
Story goes on about this highly respected and renown doctor recognized for his considerably impossibly successful operations. Skilled in the field of medicine, surgery and the human anatomy; getting rid of late cancer tumors, fixing patients with paralysis, spinal injuries, etc.
Yet the doctor has a more disturbing side to himself. In a nutshell: A mad doctor. While he does save people's lives, the ethics of his work experience are shady at best (since he conducts surgical procedure with the patient still conscious for a more thorough procedure.) and he always drugs his patients after the operation to make them forget about it.The doctor is obsessed about the human body, willing to push the limits in which they can go. This unhealthy dedication ties to his unknown mental condition that's been unchecked during his childhood. I.E. being mistaken for a sociopath after conducting an autopsy on a rabid infected animal. And that was when he didn't know what he was doing and how rabies actually works.
The series delves into the protagonist's struggle to keep his secret while trying to help the good people he has sworn to save. Even if he is doing it due to his unnatural obsession. Complete with vivid lucid nightmares should he abstain from the operating table too often.
Was The Donald the inspiration to create him?
>“I like the challenge and tell the story of the coal miner’s son. The coal miner gets black-lung disease, his son gets it, then his son. If I had been the son of a coal miner, I would have left the damn mines. But most people don’t have the imagination—or whatever—to leave their mine. They don’t have ‘it.’” (Donald Trump, Playboy, March 1990)
Why in the world they gave such a short time to Michael at Dwight's wedding? He could've at least take 15 seconds to talk about his life without Dunder Mifflin and where the fuck was Holly anyway? The lack of attention towards Michael got me upset. Was it Steve Carrell's decision or what?

10 Cloverfield Lane
Saw this movie yesterday and a few things are bugging me that I can only guess are the results of cuckbrahms being the producer. I mean, overall it wasn't bad, and I left the theater actually hyped up by the ending, but I'm still seeing some issues.
For starters, they essentially took the plot formula from The Divide but put a Rey-esque MC in there (although Michelle is still infinitely better than Rey in the end), kinda made the aliens aspect a bit wonky, and decided it would be best to remove what made the Divide good when they copied shit over - aka, the fact everyone goes nuts for one reason or another by the end.
Would I like to see a continuation of this? Sure, by all means. But I will fear the worst if it happens.
>But even with her so-called magic pill, “she succumbed to what she fought against—the global corporate concept that all women have to be thin and perfect,” says Hall. The laxative abuse had gotten so bad, according to friends, that Margaret lost control over her bowels. “I’d get phone calls from her telling me that she’d had an accident in the dressing room of Victoria’s Secret,” Holmberg says. “When I cleaned out her apartment, I found dozens of pairs of boys’ socks. She never wore socks. She was carrying them around so she could stow her accidents in them.” She had also lined her apartment with towels. If she didn’t make it to the bathroom, she would go on the towels and throw them out the window onto Thompson Street.
>“I saw several soiled towels that I knew were Margaret’s on the sidewalk,” says Jennifer Flynn. Toward the end, the thing she obsessed over and cherished most—her youthful good looks—disintegrated. Her hair started falling out, so she began wearing wigs. Her hands had the shriveled, cracked look of an old woman’s. And she was achingly thin. “She looked like she’d aged twenty years,” says Juskow. And her appearance wasn’t the only thing that was deteriorating rapidly. “She came to my house a few months before her death and was yelling, threatening that she could beat me up and throwing stuff around,” Juskow adds. “I had to threaten to call the police to get her to leave.” She also began talking about suicide, leaving long, frightening messages on friends’ answering machines. “She went so far as to say who she wanted to do the makeup on her corpse and where to find the dress she wanted to wear,” says Holmberg. “But it always came back to her looks. One night she called me, completely hysterical, so I walked her around Washington Square Park to calm her down. All she could talk about was getting money for her next eye job.”
J.J. Abrams: Half-Life Portal Movies In Development
>"Half-Life and Portal movies are “in development”, according to JJ Abrams. The director told IGN that “We’ve got writers, and we’re working on both those stories. But nothing that would be an exciting update.” Which means clearly Abrams isn’t familiar with Half-Life fans, who can see excitement in a cloud shaped like Gordon Freeman’s face."

ANDREWS SISTERS:
Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see
DANNY KAYE:
So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the Congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords
I make it clear
AS: That no matter how they coax him
DK: Yeeeah, I'll stay right here
DK: I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
AS: Magazine? What happens?
DK: I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
AS: You know you can get hurt that way Daniel
DK: At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see
AS: What do they see Danny?)
DK: Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me
AS: So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't want to leave the Congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go
DK: Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
Noise in my ear
AS: So no matter how they coax him
DK: Yeeeah, I'll stay right here
AS: They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smoky and it's crowded
They're too civilized to complain
DK: When they've got two weeks vacation
They hurry to vacation ground
AS: What do they do Danny?
DK: They swim and they fish,
But that's what I do all year round
ALL: So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no

>Luke, did I ever tell you about the time I was one of the most respected actors in the world, performing in renowned films such as Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Bridge on the River Kwai and A Passage to India? I even got an Oscar and a Knighthood in recognition for my talent and excellence. Then, while I was between shooting masterpieces with David Lean, a nerd named George Lucas begged me to play a samurai wizard from space in his sci-fi/fantasy flick. I took it to be nice, even though it meant saying lines such as "Only a master of evil Darth". Somehow, despite Lucas's bungling, it was a huge success and he roped me into appearing in the two equally idiotic sequels. I didn’t want to, but my code of honor as British gentleman and an actor prevented me from leaving a project unfinished. Now that's those movies are the only thing people remember me for. When you search my name on Google Images, the first result is from a website called “Wookiepedia”. My legacy is ruined forever thanks to Lucas. He was a good friend.
Rey is just the same dumb 'tough female sidekick' character we've seen for years, but she's the MC
Does anyone else think Rey from the new Star Wars is like Keira Knightley's character from Pirates of the Caribbean. The only difference is that for some baffling reason she's the main character.
It's been a repeated trend in media to have a surprisingly tough girlfriend or girl character who defies expectations (given it's so overused at this point though, it's actually become the expectation).
I'm not talking super heroes or anyone brainwashed. Just someone with 'training'. Training that allows them to win despite weight, height, body shape or gender disadvantages. For instance, I'm not talking about River from Firefly/Serenity, I'm talking about Zoe from that series.
Other examples off the top of my head include
>Black Widow
>The girl from Chuck
>The sister of Jackie Chan's character in that movie with CIA and Owen Wilson
>Asami in LoK (though she's done better than most)
>Peggy Carter
>Agent 99 in Get Smart
There introduction usually involves them flipping a character who made a comment about how they don't look tough FUCKING SHIT LORD. Whenever they get into a fight with a man, you know they're going to win because they're a woman.
It was only a matter of time before someone was stupid enough to take this lazy, overused character archetype and put it as the main character in a major film. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't work.
Forty Two
Season 1:
>Jack's kill count stays at 7 people for over half the season, and there's only 3 more on top of his total kill count when he completely loses it in the final hour
>Jack can only speak English, he screams at the slavs who communicate and taunt him in Serbian
>He fights like a bitch; without his gun he's useless
>The whole plot is stopping an assassination attempt on a US Senator while trying to get his family back from kidnappers related to the plot
>Using computers to triangulate a phone's location takes over half an hour in real time
>The sunrise in the show takes over three episodes to fully complete, as does the sunset
Season 6:
>Jack kills more people in the small space of 27 minutes from 2:51 AM - 3:18 AM than he does in the entire 24 hours of the first season. He ends up killing over 5x the amount of people he did in S1 and hardly bats a sweat the whole time, certainly doesn't lose it like he did the first time round
>Jack is suddenly fluent in Arabic, Russian, German, and probably Chinese too
>He also knows Kung-Fu and can kick a whole trained army's ass
>A fucking ATOMIC BOMB is detonated in Los Angeles, killing over 10,000 people and Jack has to deal with an endless river of Slimes, Ruskies and Chinks
>CTU can triangulate a phone call within a few words that are spoken
>The "sunrise" in the final episode is impossible, as it's over half an hour before the "sunrise" in the first episode
Why the fuck do action shows feel the need to flanderize over time and forget what made them good in the first place? If they kept going the way they did for the first three seasons it would've been a lot better and probably not cancelled after it jumped the shark.

Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland
Anybody else find this movie generally mediocre?
I loved the Blue Mountain State series. I really liked the stupid, corny humor. It was over-the-top in all the retarded ways that get me.
The movie was like all the humor of a single episode stretched out to make a feature. There were some funny jokes (like the Donnie is gay thing, the high sex scene, some of the stuff with the goat), but they had so much fucking padding between for what amounted to a non-plot. Nobody gave a shit about the story. If the audience fucking cared about the plot, we wouldn't have watched the series to begin with. We didn't need a movie with 30 minutes of exposition before any real humor happens, or with a few jokes peppered in around the story.
Some funny jokes, but I didn't feel like the movie was really worth watching all the way through. If you're going to watch it, I'd say you should skip to the party and stop watching after the sex scene.

In fact thanks to his Blade Runner easter egg. We will see a Blade Runner VS predator movie one day. And it will Be his fault. Especially when Shared universes films are selling like crack right now.

ITT: redpilled Hollywood celebrities
>In an interview with The Times newspaper on July 25, 2010, Stone claimed that America does not know "the full story" on Iran and complained about Jewish "domination" in parts of the U.S. media and foreign policy, notably his view that Adolf Hitler was misunderstood due to Jewish control of the media.[57] When Stone was asked why so much of an emphasis has been placed on the Holocaust, as opposed to the 20-plus million casualties the Soviet Union, for example, suffered in World War II, he stated that in Washington the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was an overly powerful Jewish lobby within the U.S. The remarks were heavily criticized by Jewish groups, including the Simon Wiesenthal Center, from which Yuri Eidelstein described Stone's remarks as what "could be a sequel to the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion",[57] and the American Jewish Committee,[58] as well as from Israel's Diaspora Affairs and Public Diplomacy Minister.[57]
>In December 2014, Stone made statements supporting the Russian government's narrative on Ukraine, portraying the 2014 Ukrainian revolution as a CIA plot and former Ukrainian president (who was ousted as a result of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution) Viktor Yanukovych, whom new Ukrainian authorities accuse of the murder of over a hundred protesters, as a legitimate president forced to leave Ukraine by "well-armed, neo-Nazi radicals."[66][67][68][69][70][71] The University of Toronto's Stephen Velychenko, the author of several books on Ukrainian history, and James Kirchick of The Daily Beast criticized Stone's comments and plans for a film.[72][73]

You think Tron is an interpretation on religion? As in God isn't completely omnipresent and is actually flawed? Like we're actually some sort of equivalents to programs that God didn't realize were actually alive or at least sentient enough on his level of intelligence.

I watched a movie a long time ago - it had a boy that had to kill bigfoot/sasquatch. I remember near the end of the movie the kid loaded a gun with nails ( I believe) and shot the ape once, then later he went up to it (it still being alive) and shot him a second time and I believe that when he shot him there was a shot of the moon( no pun intended). I also remember bigfoot chasing him in a school and the kid was knocking of shit in the hallway so it can escape it. I also remember the ape killing a police woman I believe (i think it slapped her eyes off). Does anyone know the name of the movie im talking about ?

3:10 to Yuma
This movie has been out for years but there's a good chance many of you haven't seen it, so spoilers. Go watch it.
The movie was, up until the end, pretty good. Acting was fine, effects were definitely passable even after almost ten years time since the movie came out, the exposition didn't feel like a bullshit excuse for the ensuing action- the protagonist had a pretty reasonable motivation, too.
Three things I thought were stupid:
1. Protagonist/Christian Bale was pretty fucking stupid for renting land that was dependent upon water flowing from his landlord without any guarantee the landlord would not alter/dam the flow- if I was going to depend on something I didn't have the right to I'd want a guarantee. Also, it didn't make a whole lot of sense for the landlord to burn down Bale's barn, you can evict someone from some land without destroying their valuables and making yourself a social pariah in the process.
2. Crowe almost escapes because he's riding side by side with his captors, hands relatively free, one calls his mother a whore, he jumps on to his horse/disarms him, demands the other men drop their guns and then kicks the guy off the cliff. What I don't get is why you wouldn't keep the prisoner at the very front of the column so he couldn't just jump right on someone's horse.
3. Crowe is supposed to be a ruthless murderer but he gets the chance to kill Bale, his son, the doctor, and the Railroad's guy, but he only gives Bale a rifle butt to the face. Seems contrary to his character up until that point excepting that it was established Crowe thought Bale was interesting, perhaps admirable.
Okay, but the ending was bullshit. Crowe is ready to strangle Bale to death, but he holds off when he realizes that the cause of Bale's missing leg is that he was shot for retreating by his fellow soldiers, that's a sad story but realistically speaking it would have made more sense if Bale said "Okay, I'll take you up on your offer, let's do our best to make it look like I tried to get you out but you'll really escape," that would have allowed for a similar ending sequence that didn't rely on a mass murderer helping some one-legged vet put him in chains, even if he had a good chance of escaping after boarding the train from Contention to Yuma.
Criticisms stick with me more than accolades, what'd you guys think?
