Movie News & Miscellany

Indiana Jones Passes on the Torch

In the movie, Indy is unwillingly paired up with a protege (possibly Mutt, or maybe someone played by Chris Pratt), and he needs to teach the youngling everything he knows. And then in the final conflict against the bad guy trying to steal the priceless artifact from them, Indy sacrifices his life to protect his apprentice. And as he lies dying, he puts his fedora on the youngster's head, and places the handle of his whip in his hand.

"This is it for me, kid. It's up to you now. I'm passing on the torch to you."

"But... this isn't a torch. It's a whip."

"Shut up."
 
Laugh all you want, but I feel like Shia LaBeouf is exactly jaded enough to put out a stellar showing in the movie if he so chose. He's really found his voice after all the shit he took. It's a FUCKING WEIRD one but still.

I mean, he's awful in the Transformers movies but I really liked him in Lawless.
 
I don't think anyone came out of the Transformers movies with their reputations as actors intact.

Well, okay, Kelsey Grammar played a surprisingly good villain. But apart from him.
 
So yeah, you know what else was leaked during the Sony Hack? THE SCRIPT FOR SAUSAGE PARTY...and bless those hackers for warning me of the shit show that is this movie.
 
I figured, but dear LORD the script was bad! You think the massive amount of childish swearing was bad? Well there's also loooooooooooooots of puns. Like just, TOO many puns.

For me, it was the ridiculous overkill of swearing. I don't mind swearing sometimes, but not when every second word is the f-bomb. It's creatively void. I had a similar problem with Deadpool at times.

That kind of surprises me, given how much a fan you are of Jim Sterling.

"As a new, paying customer, I hate, hate, HATE that barrier being put in front of me, where I can't just hop into an online game on a whim, instead of having to redeem a fucking 21-digit redemption code on a fucking controller using the Xbox 360's fucking laggy input just to play Dead fucking Space fucking 2's fucking multi-player that wasn't even fucking any fucking good in the fucking first fucking fucking place, fuck!" - Jim Fucking Sterling, Son

Yeah, his overuse of the word "shit" or "shite" is starting to grate on me. That seems to be his favourite go-to descriptor. But he's not as bad as that trailer. Or if it was, he's not anymore. He's a creative guy, who works around swearing better than others.
 
I'm not sure WHY... those Atlas Shrugged movies brought in less than 10 mil combined. They had better have been cheap as hell to make.
 
Does Zack Snyder has some serious blackmail on these studios? How does he keep getting these jobs? Did someone seriously sit down to 300 and think, "My god, he would be perfect for The Fountainhead! Look at all those shades of brown!"
