Frank was being sarcastic.
DON'T CARE-still hopeful!
DOWNSIZED sounds like a garbage movie, but MovieBob'ss gimmick (for lack of a better term) for this review is hilarious. Reminds me when he did the film noir narration gimmick for Sin City 2 (unlike most, I liked the review).
Heh, the new It remake included this deleted scene on the Blu Ray.
It's like they somehow knew the scene would be parodied a bunch and made their own parody as the cherry on top.
Logan has been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay.
I think it deserves at least a nomination or two. I wouldn't call it the best movie of the year or even the best superhero movie of the year, but it was damn good.
My only issue is a lot of people are calling it the first comic book movie to be nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Ghost World has that honour.
"Best Adapted Screenplay Of A Comic More Than 200 People Remember Reading"?
I have to find it again, but someone had pointed out it's eligiblity would have to been last year, and something else about it's release time period.
But yeah, Boss Baby. I dunno, man.
I'm just glad the Breadwinner is up there. It's not going to win because of Coco (and fuck the academy for taking the safe choice every year) but at least it got fucking nominated.
Coco is amazing.
It is and is worth of winning. But it's not going to win because it's the best movie of the bunch; it's going to win because it's probably the only film on that list that most members of the voting panel heard of or went to see.
I thought Boss Baby was a lot of fun especially the wizard bits. Coco was the better film IMO. Ferdinand is a wonderful book, but a boring flashy movie. I haven't seen the other two.
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
1. Coco
2.The Boss Baby
3. Ferdinand
?Loving Vincent
?The Breadwinner
Synopsis for The Breadwinner? Hmm... a young girl in modern day Afghanistan impersonates her brother when her father is taken by the Taliban, becoming the sole provider for her household (Hence the title). It's done by Cartoon Saloon, the folks behind The Secret of Kells, The Song of the Sea, and the upcoming Wolfwalkers.
So you're saying its about someone working without much oversight, despite being much younger than expected for such a situation?
Definitely seems like a Boss Baby ripoff.
Blumhouse has picked up the movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's, now with Chris Columbus lined up to write and direct it.

This movie is going to flop and it's ONLY because they've been taking too fucking long to make it. If this had come out... this year? Major bank. But with the main series (seemingly) tied up with the latest game, who knows if this has any juice by the time it comes out.

Pretty much. It's "A Night at the Museum" but at Chuck E Cheese's, and it's a jumpscare horror game where you play the night shift security guard.
It's a shit game, and I fully expect the movie to be shit as well... and as Ash said, they didn't even strike while the iron was hot, so we can hope it will deservedly flop.
It's... actually not a shit game? Yes, it's SIMPLE game with a simple mechanic, but as a franchise it has a fairly complex story going thanks to Scott's storytelling (and the 3 books they've put out). There isn't much mystery about the series any more but the question of what exactly was going on and how it happened and what WOULD happen was actually kind of a big deal to fans. Scott Cawthon deserves every fucking dollar he's made off of this and good on him for sending tons of it to charities.
Again, the movie's going to flop but conceptually (Haunted Animatronics go nuts every night and someone's got to stop it) isn't THAT much dumber than something like Maximum Overdirve (Car's have taken over the world!) or other B-movie fare. Hell, I hope it's good even. I'll probably go see it in theaters if it gets a theatrical release!

I played it (the first one anyway). Yes, it's a shit game.
Yeah, I'm not wild about the games, but the concept could at least make for a solid horror film.
The interesting thing is getting Chris Columbus. I'm hoping that perhaps it manages to be made into some sort of "family horror" film.

Most Triumphant: Bill & Ted 3 Is Officially Set to Rock Our Socks Off
Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) will direct the film from a script by original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves will reprise their roles as Bill & Ted.
"Dude, if you're REALLY a Bill & Ted sequel, how much was your budget?"
"$69 million, dude!"

This news is like a month old, but somehow I missed it:
Paramount Teams With F. Gary Gray To Turn ‘MASK’ Into Film Franchise
MASK, Mobile Armored Strike Kommand.... Even on a list of 80s cartoon shows designed primarily to sell toys, this one doesn't rate that highly. I had some of the toys, but I remember almost nothing about the show. I remember more about Dinosaucers than I do about MASK.
