And, although slightly off topic, that also goes for TV channels that whack the sound up when the adverts come on.

Or the opposite, the audio is extremely quiet for no damn reason

They have a side hustle as a drug lord

My anxiety goes haywire every. single. time.

How about male action stars fighting in high heals lolol ( Deadpool 2 )

Upvote x 1,000 because truth!

LOL, yup.n like they were waiting to get their as*es kicked XD

This has been examined extensively by feminist critics: instead of real humans with flaws and agency and character development, women are portrayed as sprung from the womb morally and physically flawless, their only purpose in life to be vessels of resentment against two-dimensional misogynists. That’s not a feminist movie. That’s a dumbed-down exploitation movie.

Try and make me leave after one bite, I paid good money for this meal.

Even better, casting 30 somethings as teenagers, and 30 somethings as their parents.

This and scenes so dark, like I am paying to miss half the film?

*puts glasses and braces on an otherwise supermodel like woman* TAH-DAAAH! NOW SHE'S UGLY!

Or getting out of the water, but being completely dry two seconds later.

Because the original made good money so they think they can cash in on it and make more the second time around

That’s why I love star wars

Or when someone agrees to meet someone else without discussing a time or place

The ubiquitous take-away coffee cup with a lid. It's so obvious that they're empty - you could at least put water in it!

Putting the only good/funny bits from the entire movie into the trailer.

The Social Network did it right.

"His blood pressure is too high! Prepare the operating table, get me the defibrillator and get 10cc's of cortisone, this man is about go into anaphylactic shock! And sterilise those goddamn forceps!"

Talking to you, Michael Bay.

Not sure if the post is referring to weinstein types or the predator that fights aliens. I opt for the second one and agree - let the predator and alien fight unhindered and stop protecting the predator alternatively bring Arnold to kick his a*s

The problem with Cats (both the film and the stage show) is that there is no story. It's a collection of songs based on poems that are tenuously linked by some nonsense about the Heaviside layer. If you like the songs, great, but it's a really weak story.

I wish

Especially if that actor isn't... a very good voice actor to begin with. The two require some very different skillsets.

According to Google, Vin Diesel was paid $54.5 million to voice Groot in the Marvel films. 54.5 MILLION DOLLARS to say a mixture of about 5 different words, and worst of all, the voice isn't even that recognizable as him. What a waste of money and talent!

I hate it when they cast well known actors as voice actors and I can't get the picture of them out of my mind. When I watch an animated movie I want to pay attention to what's happening and not the person voicing the characters.

Excellent point!

Why do actors that make 20 million a year on movies do voice overs for every commercial ?

I agree. Sometimes they cast someone and I don't understand why it's not like kids (or even I) care who the voice actor is. Save some money and hire whomever you want with an interesting voice. Although that doesn't even matter anymore. You can use ProTools to alter any voice you want.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. Voice Actors (ahem ahem ahem) are trained to be ... Voice Actors. Sound obvious? Well, to the hiring people it isn't! And the result is... questionable at times. Film actors... well, some of them excel BECAUSE you SEE them... but they talk like their mouths are full of gravel... and the product is... unintelligible. Example... Harrison Ford is a fabulous name, wonderful actor... but my gawd NEVER have him narrate anything. NEVER. But they'd rather pay the 100s of thousands for "the name" rather than someone who has literally been trained to **speak clearly and emote with their voice alone** Some of us don't even WANT to be on film... but we see our jobs just getting given away to those... who frankly don't need them.

Amen!!!!

And stop hiring actors who only play a slight variant of themselves... we want genuine acting talent!

Come to think of it, the Disney stories are pretty simple and straightforward. They're not necessarily bad stories, but they're too simple for the amount of drama and big effects thrown in, and then it becomes all about this "look what we can do" thing.

or the yellowy filter on Mexico

This picture makes me uncomfortable

Everything is a franchise now. How many sequels can we get out of this? I was so super excited when they announced the first Transformers film, it did not live up to its promise though, and the rest of the films? They have nearly destroyed my childhood love of the Transformers. They should just re release the proper Transformers Movie.

That is not how you revive a blow up alien :O

Anime's great in 2D, why not try to do something like that?

Yes, but how do you REALLY feel?

They're trying to skip the work of creating depth. Shows like X-Files, Buffy, West Wing, Supernatural, etc. and movies like LotR and Star Wars.... the reason why they're cult classics is because people dug into them on their own and started talking on message boards and having discussions, etc. The worlds were all very rich to begin with and grew over the course of years, in some cases. Movies/tv now are trying to get the same 'feeling' without the time and effort it takes to make it that. They think they're just going to manufacture it by putting a superhero in it and calling it a 'universe' when they haven't even flushed out the original movie yet to give it more depth and weight and character development. If you think about John Wick- there was an example of a movie that gave a lot of weight to the characters and the environment. The hotel, the money system, the women in the phone office... it had these great details that created a universe you wanted to know more about.

Ok but this picture is of the movie Pixels and is perfectly hilarious

Or talking endlessly when there is danger. I’m looking at you The Walking Dead. Noooo what they have to say is sooooo important. Zombies are coming? Who cares? Let me regale you with a long tale.

Every Stephen King movie adaptation seems as though the creative control was left to someone who never read his books.
