Unfortunately for too long now: “A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away”
Directed by:
- Uwe Boll
- Michael Bay
If you see this logo:
The company is the king of what used to be called Direct To Video. Now it is all Direct to Streaming.
Oversaturated marketing campaign and overly bloated cast are the two big red flags for me.
Both are indicative that the budget for the movie was not put towards the actual content of the film but about trying to pull in the largest demographics of people.

Directed by JJ Abrams
If it’s a comedy: the first joke.
But there’s always exceptions to any rule. I recently watched Spaceballs (yes, first time) and it would normally fall under “suck”, but it got increasingly better as it went along.
Wow first one to say Jared Leto.
Unless I’ve missed morbin time suddenly becoming popular?
Bladerunner 2049 is great. In that, he plays a self-absorbed sadistic rich asshole. Phenomenal casting if you ask me.
Meh, of course this is all subjective but I wish Jared Leto’s character wasn’t there in Bladerunner 2049. The first Bladerunner worked so well precisely because there was no real baddie. Everyone had reasons, a story, anguish, frustrations, internal turmoil. Jared Leto was standard issue evil mastermind creep.
Jared Leto
This is a 100% accurate statement
I see your Jared Leto, and raise you an Adam Driver.
You see my FIFA and raise an orange slice? 😅
these logo’s:
Though i will say the production value on the latest daily wire show was really high, probably the absolute fuck-tonne of money they spent on it.
What the hell is Angel. I am seeing that company logo all over. Are they a distribution house or are they some sort of religious shit?
I think they are kind of like a production house with an additional kickstarter backing thing, or small individual investors of some other kind, i’m not sure.
Here is the wiki
Their programming is pretty faithy, have a look at the lineup and you’ll see from the titles.
I don’t care much for that genre, but i don’t see it as that much different than any other genre, it’s just not for me.
What i will say is that their productions are the faith based equivalent of straight to vhs action movies.
It’s generic dross with meh writing and some reasonable production values.
but that’s just my opinion, perhaps it’s worth a shot if you’re into that kind of genre.
Definitely the latter, but also MAGA, the whole shebang. They recently made full proper movie versions of Q-Anon “documentaries”. One of my favorite podcasters grudgingly had to admit that the production is more than just OK.
They popped up on fascist grifters podcasts, but are going more mainstream now.
They are clearly benefiting from the current political currents in the USA.Also, Jim Caviezel 🤮
logo’s
logos? Like regular pluralization?
- Camera cuts
It sucks for me because once they start with the unnecessary cuts it pulls me right out and I’ll probably stop watching.
Starring Mark Wahlberg.
The only exception is The Other Guys.
Pain & Gain is a goddamn masterpiece, and I’m willing to die on this hill.
If it’s desperate to give me the whole plot in the trailer to try to hook me into watching it.
Voiceover
More than five ‘executive producers.’
- Netflix lighting
- Generic, Zimmer-stolen OST
- Franchises
- Standard blocking
- Overexposition
- Whedonisms
- More broadly, anything that’s been big budget Hollywood for the last 30 years or so.
Whedonisms
What the heck is that? I liked buffy and firefly, so use those as an example if you could.
When you can’t escape the ads for it.
Pacing that feels more like an Instagram reel than a feature film.
Excessive use of poor effects or artificial camera shake.
