hogso Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, sne said: On the subject of having slowed down cover versions of old hits in trailers and movies. Apparently it's called trailercore and yeah, I still hate it. Long read in the link. https://www.polygon.com/22574251/movie-trailer-cover-songs-artists I kinda have a soft spot for these. Generally they'll make me laugh, and I'll get to guessing what the next one I'll hear on a trailer will be. I'm certain Karma Chameleon is ripe for this treatment, and you can't convince me otherwise. Just imagine the words, and picture it over a generic drama / revenge / thing movie. For what it's worth, there are some examples which aren't too bad. Although the best one I can think of wasn't in a trailer or anything - a cover of Converge's Homewrecker by a rubbish Belarusian metal band. It works so well cos the original version is so fast, and the lyrics so unrecognisable as words, that it's almost as though this hidden beauty is unveiled in the slower down version. I think that says more about the original song, than the quality of the cover though. Edited July 20, 2021 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted July 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2021 Watched Aquaman for the first time. Kinda wish I hadn't bothered. How do DC keep making such bad films nowadays? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that money fck it up, the reviews these days a ridiculous, pro amazon or bad bot reviews for the enemy. the message boards were absolutely fab - spent half my life on there. It was a pretty brutal place though so I guess it was always going to get shut down to protect the egos of the film and tv world. I never really found a like for like replacement either for movie discussion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Watched a quiet place 2 the other night No subtitles which will teach me for sailing the seas Its very enjoyable, I liked the start and that they gave you more, the new characters and the story work, it obviously doesn't seem as fresh for the 2nd film and there seems to be a bit more liberty with the noise thing, I think the first film was quieter, but it's a good film that I'd happily watch a 3rd one of, rumoured spin offs coming too, I think it works in a small town, limited cast, no army or fight back or even really much heroics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the glut of 3D movies that came out about 10-15 years ago, I thought their movie had the best utilisation of the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Bam isnt in it, saw some yputube video explaining it but then thought im not actually bothered by that in the slightest couple of new guys, did see a youtube video of them on shark week and that was pretty mad, might make the film so wont spoil it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Watched BttF 1& 2 the last few nights. The first remains a stone cold classic. It’s flawless imo. Part 2 however, yeesh, it gets worse each time I see it. Genuinely think it’s one of the worst films ever made. Loved it as a kid mind. Onto 3 next. I always liked part 3.

Wainy316 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) BttF2 slots in with Terminator 2 and Aliens as a rare case of a sequel surpassing the original. And all three have brilliant originals. Edited July 22, 2021 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
