If you're mad at Mason that he doesn't like The Lion King, remember that he also thinks that Jurassic Park, Jurassic World and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom are all about the same in terms of quality. We all still love him though
James: And Dean Cain! Mason: No! It's not-no! James: You could get him! Mason: But why would you though? James: But you could, Mason! Mason:I guess so... 😂😂😂😂😂
I binged caravan of garbage episodes on mushrooms and when James finally got his light saber after fighting through the Tatooine Bees I couldn’t help but break a slight tear of joy. Would recommend
RenegadeCut had an incredible video on what they called “Late Stage Disney” that highlights all the issues with Disney remakes. I thought the biggest issue with this movie is easily just that there’s zero emotion to anything. I know Mufasa’s death is sad because of the old movie but nothing communicated in this remake makes me feel any emotion because Simba has the same face playing with Nala as he does trying to find out if his father is dead. Also they do the stupid Disney thing where they’ll overexplain two or three irrelevant beats from the first movie to convince people who live on Cinemasins that now the movies have value because someone once said it’s weird that Mufasa reveals his plan but now he doesn’t.
The Jungle Book remake looked fine, but then again, Bagheera and Shere Khan mostly just had to look sagely calm and angry respectively, which cats are good at. The more nuanced emotions went to Raksha and Baloo, and wolves and bears seem to be able to do more emotionally with mobile doggy brows and stretchy bear lips.
I'm glad you found time to review it! I watched it exclusively because I thought you'd talk about it in last episode. If I had to suffer, you should suffer too.
Signs of having a stroke according to Mason; Emphasis on the Right words at the Right time, Hearing loss, Denial. I gotta update my First Aid knowledge man.
I saw Paul Mccartney perform this year...Lion King is nothing like that man and how dare you make that compare the two...I'll give you Ringo Star, though.
39:00 - I feel like this is another AVATAR situation: it's meant to be a showcase for the technology as presented through a safe and familiar story in order to pay for the R'n'D that went into it, and now that the tech's out there we'll get more interesting/creative uses of it. I mean, hopefully. At some point. When they get done with all the remakes, I guess.
Calling it now, ALL the "action" in Gemini Man, is in the trailer. Ang Lee's directing, so guessing there's a lot of discussing the nature of humanity and ethics of cloning punctuated by action, which is fine but feel like the trailer is making this out to be an action film. Then again it's produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Will Smith is in it...Bad Boys II had action (feel chaos is a better term) & no plot, so....
Boy howdy could I go on about how much I hate the very concept of the Lion King remake. Alas I don't feel like doing that. Instead I'll just say I'm not giving it my time or money and neither should you. Black Panther was at least ten times the remake this one is.
The BBC version of Hitchhikers is 100 times better than that stupid movie. Anything more than a decade or so old I feel you guys refuse to give it a chance sometimes.
Marvel, What If sounds like the writers taking scrapped drafts of scripts from the MCU movies and saying, “were gonna make you buy this too!” One mans trash is another sucker’s born every day 👀
And thus the saga continues, in which two slightly challenged middleaged Australian men talk about Ang Lee's credentials and never once mention the masterpiece that is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. So fucking irritating...
