Let's go for live-action cinematic release then.

John Dimaggio's voicework in Under the Red Hood was just as good as Hamill. A little less cartoony sounding (not that one is better than the other, it's just a description).

Looking at the 'can a movie be great if I don't like it?' thread, Hard Eight is PTA's best movie.

I loved The Incredibles. I saw it twice in theatres, and I have an Incredibles pin on my lanyard. I'm not sure I'm going to see The Incredibles II: Even Less Credible Than Before. It's getting good reviews and all, but everything I've heard or seen about it just isn't doing it for me.

Speaking of Cronenberg, I have a treasure trove of unpopular Cronenberg-related opinions. He has a weird place in my personal movie pantheon : I consider him one of my favorite filmmakers, yet I despise or feel indifferent about a majority of his movies.
I'll start modestly : The Dead Zone sucks.

Those billboards around Philadelphia showing half of a character's face look like nothing so much as a late-series Child's Play poster.

The trailers come across as superhero!Mr. Mom, and we should really be past that by now. Also I continue to find Frozone's unseen wife to be un-hilariously shrewish.

It's really possible to enjoy a work independent of its fanbase. Or to spite its fanbase. If we got rid of everything that had horrible fans, we'd have no sports or fox 'news'. It is also possible for a fanbase to intertwine itself with the product so much that they are inseparable, at least with sports teams each team has their own fans and in their own bubble. Star Wars is so pervasive and everyone seems to be all about star wars, and the "fans" are so adamant about being heard that it is hard to separate them from the product. Especially when fans are harassing the actors of the movies so much that those actors are having to quit social media. It's also possible that it isn't even the fanbase, just a bunch of random MRA chucklefucks using the fandom as a beard. Pro-'straight white male hero' group behind Star Wars actor's abuse "A group previously intent on sabotaging the rating of Marvel movie Black Panther has claimed responsibility for the hounding of Star Wars actor Kelly Marie Tran. Tran, who plays Rose in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, was subject to a long campaign of racist and sexist abuse on social media, leading her to close her accounts."

Sports fans might occasionally murder fans of rival teams because they're fans of those teams per se, but that's in their own bubble. But you shouldn't watch Star Wars, or any other film or TV show where a few shitbags could conceivably harass female or non-white or LGBT leads/prominent cast members. And when it comes to SF/Fantasy literature, you might also want to avoid reading any books that could theoretically provoke a reactionary backlash. May I suggest only reading books that have been part of Vox Day's Rabid Puppies Hugo Award nomination slates from now on?

Have you not been paying attention to The Last Jedi backlash since it came out? Yes, some of these people really are the Star Wars fandom. Hell, when people have condemned the shit that happened to Kelly Marie Tran there were Star Wars fans going, "but the movie sucked", as if The Last Jedi being bad somehow made this whole situation less bad. It may not be happening for you, but the Star Wars fanbase is sure making it harder and harder to actually enjoy the franchise.

Pulp Fiction is a shit, self-indulgent, pretentious arse of movie with a couple of iconic scenes rather than a great movie with a couple of iconic scenes, and it's Tarantino's least good film.

It may not be happening for you, but the Star Wars fanbase is sure making it harder and harder to actually enjoy the franchise. Not that I care that much about Star Wars in general, but I try to defend its fanbase the way I try (somewhat unsuccessfully) to defend the Rick and Morty fanbase. To sum it up : the Star Wars fanbase is huuuuge. Literally millions of people. By all accounts the biggest fanbase in the history of pop culture. And it takes no more than a few hundred motivated and organized assholes to ruin everything. You can spend your day reading thousands and thousands vitriolic comments written by sexist Star Wars fans and it still would amount to a small percentage of the whole thing. Not to mention that a lot of fans hate The Last Jedi for perfectly unsexist reasons... Which doesn't mean the problem shouldn't be addressed. But it's not a Star Wars issue, it's a geekdom issue. Star Wars is just the current manifestation of it, the way GamerGate was another manifestation a few years ago.

Hellboy is so very meh. Sure, Ron Perlman is cool, and Doug Jones is always amazing, but Selma Blair is well-nigh unwatchable, and it’s just...boring.
Hellboy 2 is even worse.

A week or two ago, we had a storm and the power went out in 90+ degree weather. I had no calls scheduled that say so we looked for a movie to go see. The only one we hadn't seen that was playing at the right time that either of us were even mildly interested in was Action Point.
I enjoyed it a lot more than Infinity War. I'm not saying it was a better movie in any way, but dammit, I just flat out enjoyed it more.

Reminder that Tarantino re-edited Death Proof into a full-length film and somehow got it entered into official Palme D'Or competition because, uh, fuck you I guess? The whole "Grindhouse" project is just maddening. So there's Tarantino going: "You know where I come from, I love B-Movies to death. There used to be these Grindhouse cinemas in which you would see two movies for the price of one. It had to be like that because these stinkers were mostly just barely over an hour long so you'd feel cheapened out if you go only one. In the rare cases it was a single movie feature, I was like: This better be good! So now I have the money and Hollywood power to go all out on that and make my own grindhouse double feature with my buddy Robert." Then he goes and makes a 2+ hour movie in which he heightened the filler of b-movies to unknown degrees, namely people talking about stuff that do nothing to advance the story. God that texting with the crush who never showed up! And feet. He went the wrong way there, this needs to be shortened to around 50 minutes. Also, the whole "Let's leave one of us girls here as a deposit for the test drive, and tell the creepy hillybilly she's a pornstar who always wants it but is shy" ewwwwwwwww
