Why he was running? those nice chaps wonted to show their friendship !
Just watched 1953's "War of the Worlds." It is so much better than almost any modern trash. The Martian war machines were genuinely awesome, the battle scenes spectacular. The 2005 version even borrowed the idea of force shields.
In the past movies also had much more variety.

Some of the effects from that movie may stand up today. Yes you can see that they are models but it is so artfully done.

Taylor Swifts The Eras Tour Concert Tour Film has made over $200 Million in the box office with many Swifties attending viewings multiple times, often with their friends and dressed as if going for a concert. They even sing with the songs and everything. And Taylor fans get a chance to see a Taylor Swift concert performance up close without having to spend over a thousand dollars to see her from nosebleed seats in a giant stadium by themselves because none of their friends could afford tickets.
Everyone wins!
Except Chris Gore of Film Threat (and frequent Critical Drinker podcast guest and formerly of G4TV as well).
Old Man Rants That He Can't Appreciate Watching His Artsy French Foreign Language Film (Probably in a theater by himself) Because the Swifties Next Door Are Too Loud!

Too bad it's for a Wal-mart commercial, but that they managed to get 75% of the Mean Girls cast to do a reunion was very nice.
Maximum nostalgia and it worked. I don't think it was too cringe.
So fetch!
Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried have grown up nicely, and with pretty successful careers it seems. Even Lindsey Lohan who was doing the narration seemed to be momentarily stable, so hopefully she's doing better.

Interview with Albert Hughes
Interview with Albert Hughes, half of the famous African-American Hughes Brothers Director duo that became famous with their 1993 crime/teen drama film Menace 2 Society regarding growing up in Watts and Crenshaw neighborhoods of Los Angeles in the 80's/90's. Since then they also directed From Hell, a novel adaption about Jack the Ripper, and the post-apocalyptic film starring Denzel Washington The Book of Eli and recently Albert directed a few episodes of the new John Wick spinoff television series.
In this long interview Albert Hughes talks about how Warner Brothers wanted to do a live action remake of the popular anime Akira but got cold feet when they weren't sure they could secure a big enough star in the role with Albert reasonably stating that the Akira property is bigger then anyone Hollywood star. He was apparently deep in the pre-production of Akira and $12 million was put into the project but eventually he dropped it due to that studio attitude after almost a year of work on it back in 2010-11.
He actually worked with BMW in engineering Akira's bike and talked about how the production and studio team was discussing casting controversies regarding potential 'Whitewashing' and the like. He also had storyboards and wanted to cast Gary Oldman as Colonel Shikishima apparently.
He also talks about passing on directing Batman/Superman movies, stating they just didn't have the skillset for it (how humble) back in the day, and nowadays states that while the technology advanced to the point where he could direct a film, during his negotiations with Marvel he got partway into the process but found the deep dive into the MCU lore and the controlled nature of the film he would be directing as something that would make him implode. He would want to be a Filmmaker, not just a Director which is what Marvel wanted. He does say that it is a good vehicle for up and coming film directors however and that Marvel Studios has typically done a good job with that.

@Allanon bruh remind on what forum you are?
Don't expect an Oscar worthy movie (no wait that means it is overrated garbage) but it is watchable if you don't mind schlocky fun.

LOL, the 2016 Wokebusters shills are already REEEEEEing their usual delusions and whining.

Despite his earlier rant Chris Gore seems to view the increased diversity of offerings at the movie theater positively especially if Hollywood cannot offer theaters the content to fill in seats.
Chris Gore mentions an even $20 dollar theater ticket as a nice alternative to spending hundreds of dollars on a concert ticket and that theaters are also offering showings of more classic films, theatrical performances, sporting events and indie films often being promoted as special events (or in AMCs case 'Fathom Events" for example) and while he's not interested in seeing a concert in theaters he thinks it is a good thing.

Got to be honest, I liked the recent GB movie this one is a sequel to. The only issues I had with it were about the plot, and those same issues were put in to fill the plot hole that having nothing go on for several decades would have left.
