Dang, so we've got one or two more in this cycle?

Well, here’s a trivia note for the future:

>>44336
So what will they do when not being a skin mag?

>>44337

They’ve been putting out non-nude versions of the magazine in various overseas markets for years, and it’s done well in those markets. (The brand name still has at least some value left in it.) It's been moving towards being more of a generalized men's magazine for years, and the non-nude move will put it there for good. The magazine will still feature sexy pictorials, but they'll no longer have nudity.

The MST3K Kickstarter has managed to reach the "nine new episodes" level. On top of that, Mark Hamill, Jerry Seinfeld, and Joel McHale have expressed an interest in doing cameo appearances for the new episodes.

Neat.

>>44352
Would like the digital editions to be put someplace decent. Rifftrax would be nice as they've been rather consistent at keeping my account from going to crap, unlike the site I bought some Cinematic Titanic which has long since died.

Justin Lin what the fuck have you done

>>44381
Tweaking Trek. Sounds like a good name for a Abrams Trek documentary

>>44381
Man, I really hope that "untitled Star Trek streaming series" turns out to be a bit more highfalutin than these movies have been.

...

Well, at least this one doesn't have Khanberbatch.

While I have a moment to say something about Star Tr3k: damn, why y’all so salty, tho’?

Ohnoes! Shitloads of action! That’s all the movie is gonna be! Why must the trailer give away every bit of the movie like that? …jeez, it’s like you guys don’t even know what marketing is. NO SHIT the initial teaser is gonna show lots of action and shit—did you really expect a Picard-esque speech? And besides that, so what if there’s a lot of action? TOS used pulp space adventures and (for its time) "holy shit" visuals to draw people in, then offered up the social commentary and morals and whatnot. If ST:B can deliver an action-packed film with a solid message/theme lying underneath (and Fury Road proved that such a thing can be done), it will actually be closer to TOS in both spirit and execution than the first two NuTrek movies combined.

Seriously, get yer panties unbunched and give the film a sporting chance. At least wait for the next trailer before writing it off.

>>44385
Because look at the first 2 movie trailers. Orchestrated music, epic emotional undertones. It felt like Trek. It showed action, but not for literally 100% of the entire trailer, cut to the fucking Beastie Boys of all things. I can understand if that was for a TV spot, but a reveal trailer is supposed to give us first impressions of what the film will be like. And my impression is that it's going to be a cheesy Marvel-style action flick.

It's being directed by someone who has only ever done brainless action movies, stuff on Community and some of the shittier episodes of True Detective. Definitely not my first choice when it comes to Star Trek. Though I guess it would be for JJ who has admitted he hates Star Trek in the past. You'd think he'd give the franchise a bit more respect after the last two movies but apparently not.

In all honesty it may very well be a decent movie. But the trailer is an embarrassment.

I never expect any Star Trek movie to feel like Star Trek. The only one that managed to bottle the lightning successfully was The Motion Picture, which everyone hated for some reason.

(I mean, I can think of a couple reasons, but it's still my favorite of the film franchise)

Huh.

>>44393
Looks like big dumb schlocky fun just like the original. There's been a lot of speculation about what would happen in the aftermath of the first movie, how different this post-invasion world would be to ours, so I'm happy the sequels's going to go into that.

>>44395
Not-Ray and Not-Egon look great, but I am not getting anything from Not-Peter.

I am diggng that it took 10 years after the events in the first movie to finally beat the aliens.

Huh, apparently that G'Kar looking fucker is played by Idris Elba...

>>44396
Not Peter is some bookish professor that distanced herself from the group. If that is the Bill Murry of the group.

Darn it, I bought a bunch of movie blu-rays and now realize that I've lost the remote for the player, and the stupid thing only has playback buttons on the front panel.
I can't navigate menus to view those extras I enjoy so much!
I wonder if I can ask for a universal remote for xmas...

>>44405
>Why focus on the lips?

Because women?

>>44406

Okay yea, I forgot that was the most important part of the movie.

>>44408
No clue, they say there is a teaser trailer to come out soon but no official word on it from the usual source that I've seen that being Feig and his twitter.

But part of that reason for those pics if they've got to be serious because they are women.

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/17/ghostbusters-poster-kristen-wiig

And we continue to be told fek all about anything but get more tough talk like "paranormal warriors". I've no clue were things are going other than it sounding like some kinda MiB with ghosts mashup according to that old Sony pitch.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Leslie-Jones-Has-Perfect-NSFW-Message-Her-Ghostbusters-Haters-100797.html

So I'm guessing she's going to be loud and in your face as opposed to Winston who was a cool and along for the ride everyman.

And still missing the point of some of the criticism and focusing on the fringe complaining about them being women.

It just doesn't make sense to make this film when the other one did everything so well.

Those tweets seemed more humorous in intent than 'in your face', but maybe that's just me.

>>44445
>gay transman married to a transwoman
Maybe it's just me but isn't that a paradox? Or are they basically, y'know, implying that transwomen are still men after all? Either way it's stupid.

>>44445
>aromantic demisexual

... what the hell does that even mean?

>>44449
Probably another dumb paradox. Since aromantic means you don't feel romantic love regardless of whatever sexual desires you might have, and demisexual means you can only feel sexual desire towards people if you also have romantic interest in them first.

>>44442

>Hermione is now black, for the films..and I guess the books(?).

Uh, no. If anything, this is more about Rowling having no problem with people—including the theatre group putting on the Harry Potter play mentioned in the linked article—interpreting Hermoine as being black. Hermoine’s race was never explicitly stated in the books. Why couldn’t she be black?

>>44453
There is a moment in Prisioners of Azkaban (I think) where Hermione was described as "very brown". In context, most likely the "brown" is her getting a tan, but it could be easily taken as her being black. In all honest, this is a non-issue.

>>44453
She could always be, or not. But try to make that arguement with the Tumblr crowd now they have "confirmation". Anyone that says otherwise is going to be shat on and bullied.

>>44453
She's racially ambiguous, which technically means no particular group is right. If you still want to think she's white, that's fine. If you think she's black, that's also fine. If you think she's Jakartan, well things get iffy, but if your headcanon includes the justification that she's adopted, biracial, or has a step-parent, you're still not wrong. Everybody wins. But to a large swathe of Tumblr, if you choose to depict such a character as belonging to any group other than the most stereotypically disprivileged ever, it makes you a bigot. Even if you are such a Jakartan just looking for some self-representation of your own, some people are going to jump on you anyway with the logic that "black people need the representation more", or that you're __washing a "canon" black character (even though no such thing was stated).

It's happened a lot of times in other fandoms. If you know anything about the infamous Hanji Zoe gender drama, the official statement is that Hanji is literally whatever gender you think they are including nonbinary, cis woman, or binary trans (wo)man. Basically, another "everybody wins" situation, but a lot of fans instead took this to mean Hanji is nonbinary only and anyone who admitted to headcanoning otherwise or used he/she pronouns got flamed and sent death threats. The same thing is happening with the player character from Undertale, even though a lot of the "guilty" party are East Asian artists whose English probably isn't good enough to even understand why people are yelling at them.

Long as she's still British I guess? Besides, it's not like she's replacing the book and movie versions. It's just another interpretation. I'm sure it will be fine.

>>44456
>>44457
You are strangely obsessed with Tumblr, and what Tumblr thinks.

>>44462
Because Tumblr is where I spend a lot of my time these days, and thus I've witnessed a lot of this first-hand. I'm not being hyperbolic. These are things that actually happen at a far too high frequency to be healthy. I thought I gave up on 4Chan to avoid dickery, not submit myself to more of it.

>>44471
I stopped watching the people who where being militantly PC. I lost some good content but I enjoy the whole experience more. Besides, old mutuals will reblog the better stuff. I still get the occasional bites of insanity, but it's far easier to ignore.

Tumblr is what you make of it. Of you see SJW insanity it's because you're following people who reblog it.

>>44472

>If you see SJW insanity it's because you're following people who reblog it.

Or you're not using New X-Kit or Tumblr Savior to block those kinds of posts.

>>44473
I do but it can be harder than you think. Sometimes things are worded in a way that they leak through, the terms are so ambiguous or are as frequently used to support good causes or call out things that actually deserve it as for hate.

And sometimes the people I follow are on the receiving end of the hate. I'm not going to unfollow a good content creator for that. It's like that one Rose Quartz meltdown. Even if the creator is a perfectly fine person, once some douchebag motivated by a petty personal grudge, fan of a rival pairing, or maybe a complete stranger who wants to start shit identifies something problematic in their work (then comes up with some warped justification for their original callout post if it becomes clear they were wrong in the first place), they gets tainted with an undeserved reputation for bigotry which invites continued unpleasantness from bandwagon jumpers long after the original incident has faded.

It's not like it's unique to Tumblr but the reblog system which the site is built upon is especially easy to twist for this purpose.

>>44552
Which I guess is why the main theme released so late, otherwise you'd know it was a horror.

//youtube.com/watch?v=zHpza9bQAkY

>>44552
Maybe that was one of the reasons that one theater backed out.

The Kilmister is dead, long live the Kilmister

He apparently died of an extremely aggresive cancer that was found two days ago. What the fuck.

>>44556
This is easily going to be one of his most controversial movies yet.

I really like that as the stakes escalate in Ash Vs Evil Dead the tone becomes progressively closer to the original series.

>>44624
Wish it would come to digital. Sounds like a good show.

Just watched the entirety of Ash Vs Evil dead, was very good. I wonder, what did the hardcore fans think of the ending? I could see some fans not particualry enjoying Ash's way to handle the problem (Pablo and Kelly certainly didn't).

Also, those Rednecks are so going to return in the second season.

>>44655
It was totally in character for him, you can't beat him, he will incompetence out luck you or out endure you if not straight up slaughter you, bargaining is a hilarious and effective way of combating him.

Further more it demonstrates his complete lack of understanding of even the concept of what is at stake.

>>44657
I think it does show a tiny bit of character development for him, I mean, Ash DID reject the easy way out at first. Thing is, even if he had used the dagger, they still were in the cabin. Ash knows that he can survive the night, but Pedr-- Pablo and Kelly won't.

>>44660
On the contrary I think he saw "just kill her" as the easy way out in the first encounter, hence "NOTIFIKILLYOURIGHTNOW"

Catching up on the Hobbit movies, I kind of wish that Smaug didn't shake off the gold so easily and was just an awsome solid gold dragon from then on.

A musician I love released a CD when I thought he had joined the "digital only" bandwagon forever. Instead, he put his latest digital stuff on a flat plastic disk. I am overjoyed.

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jan/03/rise-of-the-reboots-creed-ghostbusters-rocky

Articles catching why things like Creed and Force Awakens worked with the mix of Reboot/Sequel. But miss the films that tried to be just reboots and failed. Fantastic Four and Robocop being two of the films that come to mind for me.

Really wish the coming Ghostbusters had that same blend. Three down and out academics losing credibility working to redeem themselves. Find one of the old franchise tapes Ghostbusters Inc sent out. As a lark they send off for the franchise start up kit. We get more time the three they have their "Library Ghost" encounter and rush back to their HQ to find a slightly slimy and dusty crate with the faded Ghostbusters Logo on the box. In the crate are formulas and blueprints for the equipment along with a Tobin's Spirit Guide and set of four time worn jumpsuits... with all their names attached including the fourth who now just shows up at the door "You ladies won't believe what I've just seen. *cue spooky music stinger startup* "Oh, I think we would."

But nah some kinda Government MIB thing hiding the ghost from the public and stuff and fighting hordes of mook ghosts. Least according to the leaked pitch.

Because the way it is now it divides the fanbase instead of bringing things together. Hope others planning Reboots in the future take this hybrid approach. I think it works a lot smarter.

>>44678
The problem with a reboot is that it is absolutely essential that the person at the helm gets it, what made the original work. It can be the "same thing only bigger" kind of remake, or taking just the basic elements and doing something different, but the spirit has to be there. Add the problem that a lot of these franchises that are being rebooted are from the 70s and 80s, and both Hollywood and the audiences being catered by Hollywood are simply not the same.

Like, just look at the recent Poltergeist reboot. It's essentially the same damn movie, but removing all the awe and wonder, the sense of adventure and challenging the unknow that complemented the horror so well in the original. My favorite scene in the original is that one where Tangina is explaining what's going in the house, and it's a fascinating moment of exposition, the impossible being elegantly described by writing, acting, and music. In the reboot, the equivalent scene basically was "hey mates, them ghosts be angry, yo". Way to miss the point.

>>44680
Yea its what I feel is being a problem with Ghostbusters.

"Hey we'll just fill the movie with SNL cast."

"Old fans seem upset, well we'll just get almost everyone from the old films to cameo."

Whole lot of missing the point.

>>44692
The convertible bit in the trailer turned me off so I stopped paying attention. How did it do?

>>44552
I just saw this. I definitely enjoyed Cowboy Reservoir Dogs and recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

i don't know why it was called the hateful 8 though. There were more than 8 hateful characters.

>>44702
This

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magnificent_Seven

same reason the Sandler Film is The Ridiculous 6

>>44700
I am honestly kinda relieved. After the bizarre box office returns of the first film, there is no way Del Toro would be left to do what he wanted to do with the sequel, exec meddling by the studios was guaranteed. I think it's better that PacRim is left as a one-hit wonder.

>>44706
Still a shame how any projects he had his heart in and executives fucked it up for multitude of reasons. I still think Warner Bros shorted the Theatrical on Pacific Rim to pump Man of Steel released about the same time.

>>44706
Thats odd to think of, though. Because due to GDT's swift and efficient production, he left being an exec darling. He's the dream director for so many suits. Creative, stylistic, underbudget, ahead of schedule and friggin' loveable.

>>44709
Thing with Del Totoro is, he's got a knack for genere stuff that is difficult to sell to mainstream audiences. To this day I still think it's a miracle that Pan's Labyrinth became so popular, awesome as that movie is.

One of the better even handed takes on how this Ghostbusters Reboot is shaping up.

>>45099
The first comment goes medievel and frothing-on-the-mouth as expected. The best part is the guy claiming that nobody cares about the look of Ecto-1

>>45119

Yea its the iconic nature that holds with people that and their animal growl siren. Especially the siren. Just hope it keeps to the fresh and raw nature of the Ghostbusters as they head out. "Never had a proper field test." Huddling into the corner of the elevator as they flip the switch on the Proton Packs. And that is also an iconic sound.

So much if the filim is iconic. Sights the sounds the lines. Making it so much New York via Boston and CGI as noted means many landmarks not being seen or looking poor. Beyond that we don't know the story is and that while every other film coming out this year has already shown multiple trailers. Someone doesn't know how to promote a supposed Tentpole franchise leading film.

So who's worth watching in wrestling? Last heard all the upper cards are pretty barren if they have to trot out Triple H

>>45122

In WWE? Depends on which roster you follow. Right now, the main roster is pretty depleted due to injuries (a running joke on /wooo/ said Bryan was responsible for those injuries as a result of not being cleared to wrestle), but Kevin Owens (the former Kevin Steen), Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks are still worth watching. Down in NXT, there are plenty of wrestlers worth checking out: Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn (who is totally not El Generico without the mask, no siree), Bayley, Asuka (the former KANA), Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy, Finn Bálor, Apollo Crews (the former Uhaa Nation), and American Alpha (Chad Gable & Jason Jordan) are all standout talents right now, while indie star Austin Aries and New Japan standout Shinsuke Nakamura are both heading to NXT soon.

Everywhere else? That's a bit of a toss-up, and it depends on your tastes in what you like in terms of wrestling. PWG is the "indie supercard" promotion, and while it does tend to showcase some of the worst traits of indie wrestling at times, it always puts on a hell of a show with top-tier talent. If someone works a PWG show, they're more than likely good at what they do. ROH is where D-Bry got his start, and while it has fallen a bit since the glory days of Danielson and McGuinness, it still holds its place as the "#3 promotion" (by virtue of TNA being the "#2" [in more ways than one]). If you're looking for something a little different, I suggest checking out Lucha Underground—it’s filmed and presented more as a traditional television show than as a sporting event, and it just started its second season, so catching up on the first season storylines won’t be too big a hassle. (I do recommend watching as much of the first season as you can, though. LU put on a lot of legit great matches in Season One, including GRAVE CONSEQUENCES, Aztec Warfare, All Night Long, and the infamous Cero Miedo match from the season finalé.) If you have access to the AXS network, they run an hour-long New Japan show every week that features English commentary and subtitled promos; Mauro Ranallo did commentary for the show up until WWE hired him for Smackdown (where he's doing a good job), and legendary commentator Jim Ross will eventually replace Ranallo.

>>45124
Trippy sounds like the old Saturday afternoon martial arts shows that were mostly ham and mortal kombat

So where can one see these things?

>>45125

WWE's two main shows—Raw and SmackDown—air on USA (Monday and Thursday, respectively). NXT, which is WWE’s developmental show/Triple H’s insidious plan to destroy the indies, airs every Wednesday on the WWE Network. ROH has a weekly show, but it’s only broadcast on stations owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group (which owns ROH), so check local listings to see if it even airs in your area. NJPW on AXS airs on…well, AXS—every Friday at 9pm East Coast Time, to be exact. Lucha Underground airs on the El Rey network every Wednesday at 8pm East Coast Time.

Oh, and if you want to watch all that and more, /wooo/tube—420chan’s home for wrasslin’ streams and YouTube videos and such—typically shows all of them (and any other wrasslin’ they can get their hands on). There are even dedicated blocks to specific kinds of wrestling (/britwres/ for British/Euro wrestling, /luchatube/ for lucha libre, you get the point). You can check out /wooo/tube at http://taima.tv/r/wooo (or http://taima.tv/r/woooalt for a macro-less chatroom), but be warned: in addition to the chat being macro-heavy, taima.tv runs on a shitload of Javascript that can slow your browser down while it’s initially loading.

And just like that, Daniel Bryan has officially ended his career, and I feel pretty fucking certain that my wrestling fandom went with it. Won’t get any better than D-Bry, and I really don’t care about much of wrestling outside of Lucha Underground. So…fuck. Gotta find something new to do on Mondays (and PPV Sundays).

Playing more like the opening to a transformers movie than Ghostbusters.

Say the beginning base line from this.

Which then cuts to shots of their office and then ending with phone ringing and Kevin picking up and doing their equivalent of "Ghostsbusters whatta you want?"

This just looks like a teaser to every other big monster film.

>>45156
Even the music was all wrong, so somber and serious. I hope the teaser at least has some funny in it.

Man, what the hell, I was joking when I asked earlier in the thread that if the movie was still a comedy, but now I am actually worried.

>>45158

I'm really dreading it'd going to be four funny women stuck I a horror movie. As that would be terrible and utterly miss the ball on Ghostbusters.

>>45169

Wait, the ghost of the movie is the logo ghost?
Dunno know if that is clever or stupid, but I do know that I like the idea.
As long as they dont fuck it up.

Some music from Hell to spice up this thread:

If that is even remotely close to the original Ecto Cooler…FUCK YES, THE REBOOT WAS WORTH IT.

>>45187

Word is its the same formula.

2016 claims another victim: Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Went to see Deadpool this Friday and the God's of Egypt trailer came on, I roared laughing.

How could anyone ever think that was a good idea?

//youtube.com/watch?v=IJBnK2wNQSo

Seriously, this is hilarious.

>>45192
>2016 claims another victim: Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Closely followed by who else than Umberto "motherfucking" Eco.

Clearly 2016 has moved on from the world of showbiz and turned its scythe towards more literary pastures.

>>45212
Run to the wall George maybe death won't go there.

>>45209
Everything about this looks like a parody.

>>45216
RIGHT? How could anyone not laugh at this, even it's budget feels like a joke, 140 million?! Are you kidding me? The Flash TV series has better CGI.

Just throwin’ this out there because I finally got to see it tonight: Magic Mike XXL is a fucking amazing movie. I’ve never smiled so much throughout an entire movie as I did during that one.

>>45218
Seriously? I heard that Tatum's shirtless scenes was the only reason to watch it and if you don't care for it or can't get past his potato face you're SOL.

>>45219

I barely even cared about seeing Channing Tatum or his abs, and the film was still fucking great. I haven’t felt that positive—that purely full of joy—after watching a movie since…shit, possibly ever.

Its interesting how this is the only place online I've seen such negativity towards Ghostbusters.
Like, yeah you see it in other places, but its drowned out.
Here, where its just, like, 4 people posting... Huh...

>>45223
>>45223
Well, if you disagree, be the fifth guy and voice your positive opinion, nothing's stopping you.

>>45225
I'd be interested to hear it. I'm down on this film because all indicators show it to be one of the bad reboots.

Maybe the trailer coming out in a week or so will change that but the leaked pitch which still matches up with all the information we've gotten.

>>45223

As funny and good as the original films were (YMMV with GB2), my liking those films does not entitle the “rebootquel” Ghostbusters flick to an automatic positive reception. You hang around places where people obviously believe otherwise. (Well, that, or they refuse to shittalk the film so they won’t be seen as sexist.)

I get it that it's thought to be inspiring lady scientists being badass but also it's overlooking what's been a thing for decades women being part of the Ghostbusters team and both boys and girls dressing in the suits. But hey the cartoons don't matter I guess.

>>45229
>But hey the cartoons don't matter I guess.
Yes that is correct.

>>45230
Does kinda suck. Cartoons and the Comics having female lead mixed teams for while now and they coming along with the movie acting like this have never been represented before and they are the first.

>>45231
Because the truth is that nobody remember those cartoons or cares about them, whereas everyone remember the films, even 2.

>>45232
>Because the truth is that nobody remember those cartoons or cares about them

I am not even the guy you are arguing with, but seriously, speak for yourself. I hold in much better regard the The Real Ghostbusters cartoon than the second film, and you will find plenty of people in the fandom who share my opinion.

>>45233

That's the Ghostbusters fandom, though. The general public, by and large, gives no fucks about Real Ghostbusters.

>>45234
Then its up to us in the fandom to remind them!

>>45236

Rage warning.

Really if the movie doesn't have a scene where they wreck some shit on their first call testing the gear. I'm out.

Oscar voter shitting on Leo is kinda funny. I liked them calling it a Road Runner Movie and voting Mad Max best makeup just to block Leo's film.

>>45275
I love Leo, I really do, but the Revenant was a weak shit movie on everything except cinematography. It was gorgeously shot, but lords it was a slog of crap otherwise

>>45275
>>45279
I'm not a fan of Leo myself, but I feel Inarritu's not given enough credit here. I mean, its HIS movie. If anything, it proved the guy can direct actors because god damn Tom Hardy was the best in the picture.

Now, Tom Hardy. That guy can do no wrong.

>>45280
Bane's an iffy case.

>>45281
We don't talk about Bane in this house. (I mean yes we do but) Nor Star Trek Nemesis.

Oddly enough he showed he had a great "gruff and menacing" voice in Bronson, which he was cast as Bane for. But he went with the Late Show Host voice instead. That's weird, definitely.
But he's made up for it. Legend, while unstructured and unstoried, was basically the Tom Hardy power hour, where he was cut loose and let act for two hours in a very solid couple of performances, so was, again, Bronson and again in Revenant - and Mad Max, while not a character piece of performance show, he still did a solid job doing the strong silent type.

Which is always kinda weird because he is 100% bisho.
