28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation all bangers then what did he hit his head in the shower or something or get injected by pentagon money?

There's a scene in 28 weeks later where US soldiers are crying while they shoot civilians lmao

They were brits tho so its actually good

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

There's exactly one scene in that move that feels realistic, and it's when the bored snipers are scanning the office building windows looking for people to make fun of over comms. The rest is oo-rah bullshit even when it pretends not to be

Garland didn't write or direct that one to be fair. 28 Weeks Later is a dumpster fire of a film in general.

having enjoyed the book first Annihilation is a C- nonbanger for me and I never liked 28 days later apart from the GYBE intro sequence

on the one hand different strokes for different folks, on the other hand I do see a thread of emptiness and missed opportunity throughout his filmography

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

Having not read the book, annihilation is a solid B banger. Obv difference in perspective

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

yeah it's more a reflection of how dang good the book is (it's really good, vandermeer does ecological cosmic horror/wonder fiction like nobody else)

at the end of the day the book is too non-narrative and too challenging to translate to a profitable film so i get it but god damn it alex should have tried harder

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

Damn I should give that book a shot again

Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been. In the black water with the sun shining at midnight, those fruit shall come ripe and in the darkness of that which is golden shall split open to reveal the revelation of the fatal softness in the earth. The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit—and the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive. And there shall be in the planting in the shadows a grace and a mercy from which shall blossom dark flowers, and their teeth shall devour and sustain and herald the passing of an age. That which dies shall still know life in death for all that decays is not forgotten and reanimated it shall walk the world in the bliss of not-knowing. And then there shall be a fire that knows the naming of you, and in the presence of the strangling fruit, its dark flame shall acquire every part of you that remains.

Ok but what if Natalie Portman had a tattoo

[-] miz@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

sir, this is a Wendy's

[-] miz@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

have you read Absolution yet? I haven't

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

nah i probably won't tbh, it was clear to me in book two that jeff didn't have a grand plan

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

They're a distribution company, not a studio. They've released some absolute trash before, they just don't advertise themselves associating with it as much as their boutique stuff.

[-] falgscode@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago

they took on 200+ mil in venture capital in 2022 and talked about making more marvel-style IP, the last two years has only accelerated that

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

Well that's a shame.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

I should pitch them on a Night Man movie

The world shouldn't be deprived of a superhero who's power is being able to hear when people have EVIL thoughts

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

He also did a lot of the directing work on Dredd uncredited.

I think he's always had brain worms, but he's just made some fun middle brow movies along the way
