Is This Something?

Candidates for "something" below.

Here's a bit of decent Hollywood news: The critics attempted to tank the new horror video-game adaptation movie Five Nights at Freddy's despite it being, from what I hear, pretty good, for a kid-oriented PG-13 horror movie. Woke critics gave it 30% positive; actual audiences rated it a little higher -- 88% positive.

They gave the movie incredibly bad reviews because the creator... voted for Trump has has donated to other Republicans.

But guess what?

Universal Studios' film adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's scared up a monster box office after the original creator Scott Cawthon refused to apologize to a woke cancel mob over his political donations to politicians such as Donald Trump and Tulsi Gabbard.
(from left) Bonnie, Freddy Fazbear and Chica in Five Nights at Freddy's, directed by Emma Tammi.
According to The-Numbers, the film banked an estimated $78 million domestically in its opening weekend despite having a day and date release on the streaming service Peacock.
Not only did the film gross $78 million domestically, but it pulled in another $52.5 million internationally for a global gross of $130.5 million.
The film reportedly had a budget of $20 million according to Deadline's Anthony D'Alessandro.

With a budget of only $20 million, the film's break even point theatrically was $50 million. Given the $78 million haul domestically, it's clear the film has made quite a bit of cash for not only Universal, but production company Blumhouse.

It's free on Peacock right now -- it was debuted on Peacock and in theaters simultaneously -- but still racked up huge box office because the videogame is popular with kids and, as I said, supposedly it's not bad.

The premise is that kids are trapped in a Chuck-E-Cheese knockoff called "Freddy's" and then are stalked by the animatronic characters that sing and dance in the restaurant. That may sound familiar, because Willy's Wonderland had the same premise, as did the horror reboot of The Banana Splits (yes that's real, I saw it -- turrible). But actually both of those movies were ripoffs of the Five Night at Freddy's video game. The movie version of Freddy's just took a little extra time to make it to the screen.

If I can work a quick Disney Disaster mention in -- there is a fair chance that this tiny-budgeted horror movie about animatronic bunnies and mice beats The Marvels' opening weekend, despite this being simultanteously premiered on TV, for free (with subscription, I mean).

On to the possibly somethings. You choose which are something and which are nothing. But keep it civil -- and no betting and no weapons.

So it's Romancing the Stone + Three Days of the Condor? Was it Three Days of the Condor where they read spy novels to find potential hints for real-life operations, but discovered something no one was supposed to know? Or which movie was that? (It's bugging me, if you can remember, let me know.) (Confirmed, it was Three Days of the Condor.)

Kind of the right moment for this:

Is this something? If you doubt Gosling's ability to play this kind of character, you must not have seen, somehow, the best action-comedy of the past ten years, The Nice Guys. He's great in that as a zero-ethics low-skill injury-prone detective.

Gosling isn't afraid to go full Lou Costello, when the performance demands it.

I think it's something -- but the music. Gaah.

Not even a nod to the original theme.

Update: MAGA Ken says the Beekeeper with Crank Transporter looks good.

I like Statham, but I haven't bothered to watch one of his movies since the bait-and-switch movie The Killer Elite, which just paid for that title and slapped it on to a completely different story. I think the real title of that movie, before buying the rights to use The Killer Elite, was "The Feathermen."

I get it, that's not the greatest title, and The Killer Elite is a great title, but... truth in advertising, fellas.

Argyle is from Matthew Vaughn who has this anarchist spirit about his films that I latch onto. I think he's really fun, and I'm looking forward to this.

He's kind of the British, action movie version of Joe Dante.

It smashed through it. And it smashed through it despite a "day and date" release on streaming - the box office wasn't the only place to get it.

It's very likely that "The Marvels" will not match FNAF for opening weekend haul. It will be a humiliation and, as the kids these days say, "I"m here for it."

Five Nights was pretty good, had an actual plot where I wasn't expecting one. Ended up seeing it in two parts... fell asleep during the second half watching on Peacock then fell asleep during the first half watching in theater with the little hobbits. In the movie's defense, I was very sleepy and it was not boring. Sorry Freddy, it's not you, it's me.

32 FNAF, while having the same day VoD release, shows that going to a theater for a movie can be a experience.

FNAF is a funny story. Cawthon originally made the graphics of the animatronics for a cheery bright colored positive game. That game failed in part because everyone found the animatronics extremely creepy, so he leaned into it and did FNAF.

The games all have no on-screen gore, although the backstory talks about quite a bit of it. I assume the movie's a bit more explicit, but probably not much.

Posted by: Ian S. at November 02, 2023 04:30 PM (2ocoG)

33 Scott Cawthon was semi-cancelled when the left found out he was a Christian...I guess being the most successful indie video game developer in history though gave him some protection.

Its good to see them failing...again.

Though the games are...odd. And really I don't see the fun in them.

The Five Nights At Freddie's games also launched two of the most successful video game youtubers - Matthew (MattPat) Patrick/Game Theory and Mark Fischbach/Markiplier

I see it in a similar vein to Get Out.

Get Out was a cry against the evils of not white people in general, but rich, white progressive specifically. The father character says, "I would have vote for Obama a third time if I could."

Critics are extremely political, but they're also...kind of stupid and don't realize when they're being made fun of, especially by a black filmmaker.

In Crank he's injected with a drug where he has to keep a high level of adrenaline or he'll die. He spends a lot of time beating thugs up but in a, err, tender moment he needs to find a way to keep his pulse racing with his girlfriend and....they have one of the least sexy sex scene in recent memory - it is funny though.

Hollywood would rather take lessons from Barbie and Super Mario Bros while still trying to apply the MCU model to everything rather than learn that they can mimic Roger Corman to success.

Joe Dante's first film was made for $50,000 in a week, mostly reusing old footage from previous Corman movies to stitch together the bare plot, and it made a million dollars at the box office.

The 70s were a different time, but still.

I personally didn't care for it, but it wasn't terrible. Just a B horror movie like I expected. It had the right ingredients to be something better, but it was almost one of those movies where you had to read the book first to really understand the world building going on in the film.

77 my knock on Argylle is this:

First, it's super chick-oriented, seems like.

But fine.

My real gripe is that all people seem to make now are either reboots OR parodies/homages to old stuff. They don't make a serious kind of international spy caper movie; they make a parody of movies we've already seen.

We can't keep doing homages and parodies forever. Every once in a while, someone has to make a real movie that isn't a commentary on other movies.

but other than that, looks fine.

And the game Doom has a cool story (imo), why not just make that into a horror/scifi movie?

The movie was awful, basically just the title and a couple of easter eggs to wink at the game.

107 FNAF is a funny story. Cawthon originally made the graphics of the animatronics for a cheery bright colored positive game. That game failed in part because everyone found the animatronics extremely creepy, so he leaned into it and did FNAF.

The games all have no on-screen gore, although the backstory talks about quite a bit of it. I assume the movie's a bit more explicit, but probably not much.

Horror movies are generally really cheap. To have something halfway successful, you just need to manage tone and keep things in shadows. Do that, and you'll get the horror crowd to at least show up.

It was Wes Craven's plight that he couldn't get money for anything other than horror movies. I mean, he did eventually make Music of the Heart, which wasn't very good, but dammit...he didn't want to make horror movies at all. They were just the kind of movies that he could get the porn producer to front him for when he made The Last House on the Left.

121 "Meltdown" is the sixth, and final, episode of science fiction sitcom Red Dwarf Series IV and the twenty-fourth episode in the series run. It was first broadcast on the British television channel BBC2 on 21 March 1991. Written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, and directed by Ed Bye, the episode, featuring Wax-Droids of famous historical figures involved in a war of good versus evil, was originally supposed to open the series but was postponed due to the Gulf War conflict.

Kryten and Rimmer discover that the group have travelled to Wax-World – a theme park inhabited by wax-droids of famous real-life and fictional characters in human history.

The pair discover that since the park was abandoned, the droids gained sentience over time, but divided into two warring factions – "Heroes" and "Villains" – with the heroes being on the brink of defeat as their captured comrades are melted down and turned into more villains. After Lister and Cat realise that they are on Wax-World, witnessing a parade of villains from different eras of history (including Benito Mussolini, Napoleon Bonaparte, Al Capone, Richard III and James Last) and the execution of Winnie the Pooh, [...]

"Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch" are both movies like that. The latter is basically a slicker, higher-budgeted version of the former. Both are great flicks, though.

Statham was a rather non-action sidekick in the Jet Li flick "The One." In that movie, Jet Li beats the shit out of himself.

159 Horror movies are generally really cheap. To have something halfway successful, you just need to manage tone and keep things in shadows. Do that, and you'll get the horror crowd to at least show up.

It was Wes Craven's plight that he couldn't get money for anything other than horror movies. I mean, he did eventually make Music of the Heart, which wasn't very good, but dammit...he didn't want to make horror movies at all. They were just the kind of movies that he could get the porn producer to front him for when he made The Last House on the Left.

Gosling is great and was in this, Russell Crowe was solid, the era and idea were good, but the plot stunk. Hammy & boring. Kim Basinger's clone was so wooden it almost caught on fire. It was a shadow of great Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which was awesomely funny, though I thought Iron Man 3 was the funniest and best Iron Man too).

Surprisingly good horror comedy based on a stabby serial killer movie combined with Back to the Future.

Extremely cleverly written wherein the super woke heroine goes back to the 80's and is shocked by everything normal back then.

The clever part comes in because both folks from the 80s can laugh equally at the wokesters laughing at the dumb 80's people because of the way the jokes are written.

Anyway, funny, stupid, horrifying at points...it's got it all.

228 I'm not sure how to square the full lifetime or even half lifetime of the thin, intense young Nappy of the 1790s and up to 1805ish with the next 10 years on to Waterloo.
Posted by: Oldcat

"Waterloo"

Rod Steiger as Napolean. I think he really hit it. It's like only Jack Nicholson could have played Jack Torrence in "The Shining"
Christopher Plummer as "The Iron Duke", Duke of York. Starts out at a party, and Plummer and his officers look kind of effeminate.

Posted by: 18-1 at November 02, 2023 04:58 PM (XqcwY)

Nappy fought 18th/19th century battles. These involved up to hundreds of thousands of men, blanketed in smoke and often hidden behind folds in the terrain.

When he gave an order, someone had to ride out over miles to hand it to an officer, who then had to send out more men. Thus, it took hours for things to start and finish happening. Then someone had to ride back and describe it all to the generals.

257 DuJardin is also in Le Retour du Heros with Melanie Laurant, from Inglorious Basterds and Now You See Him. Funny romcom.

Premise: Dujardin is a scoundrel and seducer who takes an interest in Melanie Laurent's gullible sister. (He just wants to bang her.) But he's called off to war, and then never writes to the sister, breaking her heart. So Laurent writes letters supposedly from him, painting him as great hero, and then ending with his tragic death in battle. This she thinks will end the depression but also get her to move on.

But then this scumbag drunk Dujardin shows up again and starts trying to bang the sister, this time now pretending that al the heroic things described in the letters were real.

This makes Laurent mad, she's funny as she attempts to sabotage him. She's also angry that he's ruining the smartly-crafted fiction she wrote about Dujardin by adding in coarse, stupid he-man power-fantasaies.

Progs don't care whether what they think is right. They care whether they can make someone else believe it.

296 Yeah, they all look like something. Will watch. Who's the actress in the opening part of the preview for Argylle? She's got a "look again" look about her. That reminds me, I'm hoping a sequel to The Old Guard comes out soon, Charlize Theron has a very strong "look again" look. She's fun to look at.

297 >>>
There is 3rd movie about Africa that came out 2021 and for some reason it’s hard to get. From Africa with love.

REALLY? Vraiment?

I didn't know that. Awesome, I'll find that one.

Oh another fun thing in these movies is the Felix Leiter parody character, Ken Tremendous (?).

298 the third OSS 117 movie is available on Amazon on bluray with the other two for $44. I don't see how to just stream the movie.

I imagine that if someone had a VPN they could change their amazon or netflix location to france and watch it without paying extra.

299 Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.
I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried
it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
