General Movie (Film for snobs) News Thread

There's a new Spiderman? Is it another reboot as well?

 

Yep its a reboot, but probably not the origin story again. There's talk about it in the superhero thread (Butch has a no gay superhero talk in the films thread policy)

Was Toys that bad? I've never re-watched it but I remember thinking it was shit when I was a kid watching it in the local serial killer's cinema but I've always thought it'd probably have a Waterworld type quality if I watched it now.

When Robin died and everyone was watching Hook, Ms Doubtfire, Aladdin, Mork and Mindy etc. I decided to watch Toys for the first time. It's a beautiful looking film. But style over substance

Ennio Morricone is doing the score for the new Tarantino. His first Western in about four decades, apparently.

That's incredible, what a coup for Tarantino to get him, hopefully he gets a resurgence off the back of it.

[Onyx2]

I hope QT is a real muse for him. They should be a perfect match.

 

Made me go off and listen to some classic Morricone now.

[Sergio Mendacious]

Thought this was a pisstake on QT using Morricone music before, because I thought he died last year. Just realized that was Riz Ortalani
