I wanna see that! The official "doesn't merit its own thread" movie trailer thread

The Funkhouser family will be seeing Detective Pikachu in 2 days. The early reviews seem to range from people liking it to utter confusion about the movie from people unfamiliar with Pokemon. I'm excited to see it.

Sounds awful if you're not a kid who's into it.

I play the game from time to time and I am fully expecting to have all the inside Poke-jokes go right over my head.

Have you seen the first Pokemon movie; if so, what did you think of it? As noted previously, it may have been the worst movie experience of my life. Only because my son was enjoying it was I able to muster the will to live. I like Ryan Reynolds as a comedic actor, but unless Mrs. PAC surprises me with a child of which I was previously unaware, I'll pass on this one. Still, I'm genuinely interested in your review.

Bro...you are missing out on some fantastic reviews about this in the "Last movie I saw" thread.

Sheesh - I'm always dropping stuff in the wrong place. Thanks for the tip.

My history teacher daughter picked up tickets for us to go to They Shall Not Grow Old last week.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7905466/

WWI documentary that Peter Jackson directed - inspired by having a grandfather and uncles who fought in the war to end all wars.

What a great film. At the end of the film, there was commentary by Jackson that was fascinating.

They used recorded interviews with actual vets from an archive in Britain done years ago to provide most of the commentary. They have a mix of still shots and film, and wanted to bring the film to life, so they hired professional lip readers to figure out what the different soldiers were saying in the silent film they had, and added voice over. Amazing. For one segment, there is an extended speech, so they figured out which unit it was from the uniforms and then when into unit archives to find the speech that was being read to the mean preparing for battle.

Jackson describes his own interest coming from hearing about his grandfather - but I didn't realize just how much of a history buff he was or how deep he was into this. He talked about wanting to match the colors of the uniforms as they went about colorizing the film - and he happened to have a bunch of uniforms he had collected for them to use. Or he went to the actual sites where the film was made and took photos for the colorizers to match the backgrounds.

They wanted to add in sound as well - I've mentioned the speech already. But he wanted to include some of the sound effects. They've got shots of soldiers loading and firing artillery cannons. So he says that he happened to have a couple of artillery cannons at home "like you do", which they used to record the sound of the breeches opening and closing as ammunition is loaded. Say what? "Like you do?"

And I love that at the end he refers to the number of soldiers who participated in the war and states that one of his primary purposes is to pique the interest of others - stating that everyone has someone within their family history who was involved and he hopes that we will go and search out their stories.

Excellent movie - unfortunately with a limited release.

Looks like it's even more lame than that:

Embedded Tweet

C'mon Dude. Not cool.

Wow, what a sell out.

[falafel]

Ah. That sucks.

I think it's a tease for commercial to be shown during the Super Bowl. I'd love to be surprised with more than that.
