Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies
Lionsgate quietly dropped the trailer today for "Bombshell," the story about how Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly opened up about being sexual harrased by Roger Ailes, and his ousting from Fox News. And Twitter exploded about it.
It's just a minute twenty seven, but Ho. Ly. Sh*t. Only three words are said in the whole trailer. The tension is creepy.

The underlying philosophical issues are explored better in the second one, but the stupidity that's unavoidable in the casting choices is really starting to kick in then.
And then the third... oh, god, the third.
A-, B+, F.
I was such a great idea (albeit stolen from dozens of precursors in hard SF). I only wish more competent writers, directors, and actors had been given it to work with. In 50 years when they're all dead somebody should do it right.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Originally posted by The Rube View PostMy issue with the third one is that after the second one, fans clamored for less dialogue and more action (a mistake, in my eyes). So then the third was ALL action, which took away from the original philosophical idea of the whole original premise. I don't think it was ever meant to be an action-first movie. It was more a thinking movie. A "what if," dare I say existential, movie?"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
