The following is not a terrible cover, I just think it’s kinda funny.

DESIGNER 1: Okay, we’ve narrowed this down to two posters, which one should we use for the actual product?

DESIGNER 2: Yes.

DESIGNER 1: Okay, now we need to pick a review quote for the back that draws in potential buyers who may be daunted by the fact that this is a sequel to a 35 year old film.

DESIGNER 2: What about this review from Variety?

DESIGNER 1: You’re a genius!

‪In my dream last night, Arrival was not a Denis Villeneuve film, but was instead directed by Brian de Palma.‬

Andrei Tarkovsky
Denis Villeneuve

I’m watching MST3K The Touch of Satan and I recognized a name in the opening credits of the movie: Director of Photography Jordan S. Cronenweth. Eleven years after shooting The Touch of Satan, he shot Blade Runner.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I don’t know what to do with this information.

I was bored so I threw these together.

This is just sad. Mommy issues, maybe?

Last Jedi retailer exclusive packaging for BD (and 4k!) leaks. Hopefully the standard release just has theatrical release art as with TFA and RO.

Here’s the standard art:

Wtf is a “multi screen edition” and is there a normal edition without the lame border? Also, the last two SW movies included a DVD with the Blu-Ray, so why stop now? Is it just no longer worth it for them to print more DVDs?

I don’t see why that would delay a trailer, unless they really want to include the words “From Director Ron Howard” in it or something.

If I could, I would dismantle every sports organization on the planet. They’re disgusting glorifications of barbarism and cruelty.

If only it were possible for all teams to lose all of their games, then everyone would be disappointed. That’d sure make me happy.

+100

Family, for some reason, decided tonight was a good night for a spontaneous movie night and let me pick the movie.

Arrival (2016) - 5/5

Reactions:
DAD: "Good movie."
MOM: "Pretty cool."
SISTER: *asleep*
BROTHER: (no comment, immediately left to play video games)

Hawaii was pretty alarmed today.

Hamlet (1990) - 3.5/5

MST3K (movies rated on own merits)
Hamlet (1961) - 2/5
(would be lower if not for Ricardo Montalban being the voice of Claudius in this dub)
Girl in Gold Boots - 0.5/5
Time Chasers - 1/5

…sometimes shortened to ChanPal SuRecon Center…

I think my eyes need surgical reconstruction after reading that.

They should just make the trailer the only special feature on the DVD/BD release and never release it anywhere else.

I assume that cover is rather indicative of the product, and doesn’t seem particularly ugly by any compositional standard, so… what’s the problem? Not a fan of the corny tagline?

I like Dunkirk, possibly mostly for D.P. Hoyte van Hoytema. I like the way the movie looks. I also remember being quite impressed by the sound design.

EDIT: And that silent edit is fantastic.

The main Star Wars comic is pretty good as well, but apparently it goes down hill, especially in the art department.

I quit picking it up after issue 12 because I thought the story got dumb, but Stuart Immonen (Superman: Secret Identity) was the artist on #8-12 and it was fantastic. I can see how it would be downhill from there.

I have to b**** about the National Championship game of College Football. It, like all other games of Football, is a disgusting display of barbarism and depravity.

FTFM

Brazil (1985) - 4.5/5

The Hidden Fortress (1958) - 5/5

Could you tell me a little bit more about Brazil?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Monty Python’s 1984? Yeah, I’ll go with that.

Does that have anything to do with George Orwell’s 1984 novel? Thanks, by the way!

Yeah, that what I was saying. It’s not actually an adaptation or anything, but shares antitotalitarian themes.
