>call in every favor you have in the bank to make a preposterously terrible, borderline incomprehensible vanity project that flops even worse than you'd have predictedAny other kinos like this?
>>217348841They were hyping it up on the podcast and when it flopped they never brought it up again. Just cowardly behaviour
>>217348926I can't blame him honestly. I'd feel so embarrassed and ashamed I'd want to crawl under a rock and never be a public person again.
>>217348841>IM LE FUNNY QUIRKY MAN AND THE LEAD OF MY OWN HECKIN MOVIE ISN'T THAT SO COOL AND WILD OH MY HECK LOOK AT ME PULLING A FUNNY FACEI want to cave this faggot fuck's head in.
>>217348841
>>217348841Whoa, is that the voice actor for Luigi?
did anybody actually watch it?
>>217348841Maybe he didn’t call in as many favors, but he liquidated a sizable portion of his assets to pay for it.
>>217348841Only Danny is successful outside of Sunny. They just aren't that talented overall
>>217349103I started watching it, and got to the part (still near the beginning) where they show that silent Charlie is the doppelganger of some (in-universe) douchy actor guy. But got distracted and never picked it back up. It took too long to even get to that part, where the basis of the plot is established.
>>217348841Passion Projects are almost always hilarious in their failures.>Beyond The Sea (Kevin Spacey)>Horizon An American Saga (Kevin Costner)>Battlefield Earth (John Travolta)>Brown Bunny (picrel)>Funny People (Adam Sandler)And of course, who could forget Medellin starring Vinny Chase
>>217349246Why was Brown Bunny a failure, you fucking idiot? The whole point of that movie existing is to convince Chloe Sevigny to blow him and she did, on camera, and he showed it to the whole world and I can view it and jack off to it times infinity forever. He won and succeeded in what he set out to do. Vince is based.
>>217349272>fucking idiot?You want to go toe to toe on failed films? My Dad is a Hollywood producer notably made a half dozen of these self indulgent flops. And as for Chloe... I fucked her. Wasn't all that good. But she could suck a golf ball thru a garden hose.
>>217349246>Battlefield Earth (John Travolta)Nothing will ever compare to this one
>>217348841Bad cover too. Makes it seem like it's annoying LA trash
>>217349152Dee stars in some shitty network cop show
>>217348841Just another case of somebody overestimating their talents. To be fair, the whole sunny cast is like that. Glenn tried that serious actor man shit with Blackberry, and couldn't quite hit the mark. They need to learn to stay in their zombie show lane.
>>217349661I mean they did or else they might have pulled the plug 15 years ago when it was still good.
>>217349661Blackberry has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and won Canadian Best Picture.
>>217349246The whole Medellin arc was kino. I miss that show so much.
>>217349859Why would I give a fuck? Only my discernment matters.
>>217349246I really liked Beyond the Sea. And having Medillen bomb after the characters struggled for seasons to get it made was probably the best thing Entourage did.
>>217349272She's so ugly though. That's an expensive BJ
>>217349340Please make more kino, Vince. You are a godsend.
>Milly Sucks Alcockwhat a weird name
>>217349103Saw it in the theater
>>217350030>really liked Beyond the SeaI only watched it because the actress from "Drag Me To Hell" gets naked and also, the actress who replaced Alicia Silverstone in the tv series "Clueless".
>>217349246Bro really tried to sneak Punch Drunk Love in there
>>217349661Blackberry is kino, but people didn't understand it plays very loose with reality compared to a lot of biopics. It's functionally a mockumentary.
>>217349984>>217350030I liked the Medellin storyline too. If I recall, Billy was the director and he was always fun to play off the suit (E). I guess it flopped? I don't recall. But isn't that the point of this thread? Passion projects rarely work out. Kenny fought hard to star in "Tangled", but they went with some no-name chick instead who hasn't even seen the film.
>>217350172Her career is TOAST. It was already over before Gunn dug her ass up.
>>217350303She should've said no. Jeff Sneider said the other actresses in contention didn't want to do it and even said no to a full screen test and only floated their names around for visibility. She literally walked into a honey trap. Could've grinded it for a few more years.
>>217349246>Funny PeopleI thought that was p good.
>>217349661Blackberry was fucking fantastic and Glenn was the best part of it
>>217350324Yeah, obviously I like her too. But man, what a horrible career move. You could tell she was getting ants in her pants being unemployed. But like you said, something better would have come along if she was just patient.
>>217349516 It is
>>217350246>>217350352Plebs
>>217349859>CanadianThat's exactly why no one cares about it
>>217349859Because Matt Johnson made it
>>217349065Fool's Paradise: 4.7/10 on IMDbPoolman: 4.0/10 on IMDbCharlie Day mogs Chris Pine as a director. Poolman was actually shot on 35mm film like true kino though, to Chris' credit.
>>217348926Lol
>>217349124Amd he made a fucking masterpiece
>>217349859>Canadian Best Pictureahahahahahahahaha
>>217348841>it's a meta movie about how crazy Hollywood and showbuiness are! I cant think of anything more soulless.
>>217349246>REINING IT IN not listedone job
>>217348841I wanted to love this thing, and it wasn't terrible, & there was clearly a lot of thought put into it, but, it just wasn't a great movie. Pretty good arthouse film, a great student film, but a big expesive feature???I have an idea of what happened, but cant be sure.
>>217349340>my DAD owns a DEALERSHIP bro…Sure why not.
>>217349065>A Chris Pine Film
>>217349246Funny People was not Sandler's passion project. Judd Apatow got him to star in it. You're an idiot.
>>217352162>A Chris Pine joint
>>217349984Spray some more Axe on you and read Maxim, BRO.
>>217350324The past tense of grind is GROUND. Not fucking 'grinded'.
>>217350224Didn't that just fail because it was like A Million Little Pieces where the guy who wrote it was telling everyone it was his true life story, but upon a bit of research the internet discovered it was definitely fiction and he couldn't have possible lived certain parts because he was definitely somewhere else at the time?
>>217348841>>217348926>>217349012This is sad to hear Charlie Kelly rules but I won't watch anything anyone does outside of Always Sunny.>>217349024need a hug?
>>217349246Brown Bunny wasn't a failure and Funny People wasn't a passion project. Stop learning words and history secondhand from youtube and get a life.
>>217349859eww canada? fuck ewww fuck eww fuck
>>217349246>>217349272Brown Bunny got horrible early reviews when it was making the film festival rounds, especially by Roger Ebert. Ironically enough, after a public spat with Ebert over said negative review, Vincent Gallo went and recut the film for wife release after realizing Ebert was right. Ebert loved the recut and recanted his earlier review but the film flopped at the box office.
>>217349661thisstay as the dancing monkey, don't think too highly of yourself>>217349859t. glenn
>>217349464The fucking size of those codpieces
>>217349124The BTS documentary is kino
>>217349464How does Forest Witaker not look at himself after his make up and costume are applied and not immediately quit the film.
>>217348841and its still much better than either of robbs other shows. imagine if we got glenn as starlord like they said was a possibility though.
>>217352292In Charlie Day's defense, he accepted Fool's Paradise flopping like an adult and while he burned through a huge chunk of banked favors making it, he's still in good standing in Hollywood because he didn't try and blame everyone else for the film flopping and went "I made the film I wanted and it flopped... I accept it flopped and have no regrets!".
>>217349246>Horizon An American SagaThis is one of the most outlandish. Imagine announcing a fucking 4 part film series, and the first movie bombs so bad that no one wants to distribute the second part you already have in the can, and it's been almost 2 years since production paused on the third.
>>217348841His mistake was using star power. Whenever a movie jams in as many big names as it can, it's in the hope it'll make up for a weak plot.
>>217348841>Any other kinos like this?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Clown_Cried
>>217349152Charlie day was doing the best of them in the early 2010s with stuff like pacific rim, lego movie and those horrible bosses movies. It just became very clear very fast just how limited he and his shtick was so it petered out. He at least has his luigi gig so his career is at least stable.
>>217352489>His mistake was using star power.>jams in as many big namesWhat are you even talking about, there wasn't a single A lister in that movie, it was a bunch of old washouts (one of whom was long dead by the time the film was released) and b-tier comedians (like most of the cast of Sunny).
>>217352406its a pity really, since i liked the first one.of course it wasnt a good idea to release it as some blockbuster but as a miniseries it could have been more widely accepted.
>>217348841Apperatetly after filming it around 2018 he got white guilt because the george Droyd riots and did like the idea of a white dude failing upwards so he rewrote and reshoot it to be more about the Asian dude. It was almost certainly shit from the beginning but you can at least pretend that it was just another of tragic victim of fentanyl
>>217352843Whatever went wrong, you can be sure the it was the black mans fault.
>>217348841>In February 2022, Day revealed in an interview that the film had undergone a week of reshoots in December 2021 with Jeong, Brody, Beckinsale, and Liotta after he wrote an additional 27 pages to the screenplay based on the advice of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, who also suggested the film's initial title of El Tonto be discarded. The film was later retitled Fool's ParadiseHoly shit Guillermo sabotaged him
>>217349272I mean, that scene was pure sexo and the rest of the movie was boring trash. Sevigny ran out of the premiere crying when it was booed.
>>217352891>Holy shit Guillermo sabotaged himRevenge for being in the shit pacific rim sequel, you'd think being in that movie was punishment enough.
>>217352561The Execution of Henrietta and Igor
>>217353103A true video nasty
>>217352891You think the original cut was better?
>>217349065This was actually kino
>>217349464HMMMM THE MAN ANIMAL LIKES RAT
>>217348841Coppola made one like a year ago
>>217352353Honestly might be one of my faves>Coppola blissfully unaware of anything he's doing>Voight and Plaza fully aware of the bullshit they're making>Hoffman showing open contempt for everyone>Lebouf constantly fighting with Coppola desperately trying to make the movie more than it is because its his last chance at relevance>Adam Driver's complete reluctance to be in the doc at allHonestly essential viewing for Megalopolis
>>217349065>Dewanda WiseImagine naming your kid after some Bib Fortuna shit
>>217349065Filtered by this utter kino, sad.
>>217349124I really wanted to like that movie, but it really is aggressively bad.>>217352353So what went wrong?
>>217352561The world was not yet ready for this level of tragicomic kino.Jerry Lewis was looked down in the US but idolised in France, especially by Jean Luc Godard, it's a sign.La Vita e Bella used the same theme decades later and was a masterpiece.
>>217348841what is it even about?
>>217352366umm because it's fucking based?
>>217352247He's a spoiled rich kid.The author cried about the tone of the movie not being what he wanted and it was lit horribly.
This is one of the worst movies released in recent years. I wanted to like it, saw the reviews and thought "it can't be THAT bad". And then it was.
>>217352366pretty sure he was scientology adjacent
>>217352406Why the fuck didn't this retard just get a deal with some major streaming service? He'd still be making this hillbilly slop.
>>217349661can't hate on a guy for trying though. but yeah, there's a ton of comedy or sitcom actors who you just know wish they were more "serious" but they just aren't built for it
>>217349065if this released 10-15 years ago would easily be an overrated indie flick out of SXSW, did it get review bombed by a youtuber or something
>>217356020Yeah and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.
>>217349661>Glenn tried that serious actor man shit with Blackberry, and couldn't quite hit the mark.wrong as fuck
>>217352247Yah, the guy was a fucking nerd who wrote stories of what he imagined an alpha chads life was like. It was early internet, so he was basically another Maddox
>>217356487Yeah but some of the stories were pretty funny as a 13 year old. Sue me.
To Boldly Flee
>>217354661The making of doc for Phantom Menace is my favorite.The subtle contempt the filmmaker has for the movie and Lucas is hilarious.>interviewing producer who says everyone working on the movie is so excited and happy>hard cut to two puppeteers on set looking bored and exhaustedBrilliant.
>>217350368>getting cast in the leading role in a major blockbuster is a horrible career moveThis board has the dumbest people on earth on it.
