Sorry for screwing up the first draft, mods!

josh trank ALWAYS trashes his projects

I am still mad at the way they screwed up that Independence Day sequel. I loved the original movie but the sequel was just over the top CGI nonsense and I was initially so excited about a planned follow up

I feel like there is something to be said about the fact that movies like Independence Day and Jurassic Park, despite being made in the 90s with limited CGI, all practical, and they're AMAZING, while the remakes relied way too much on CGI and explosions and whatever else (never saw the ID sequel but I imagine)

[manu19]

Exactly. I watched Jurassic Park again the other day and besides the dated technology they used, it looked pretty great! I don’t think the Same will be Said about Jurassic World in a few years.

Phew YES. Jurassic Park is still absolutely visually FLAWLESS, whereas the more recent movies are so glossy and empty, and I do think that's the shininess of the CGI

I'm actually curious as to what the F4 movie would have looked like, originally. That would have been more interesting.

There was a really great article by (Vulture?) that outlined what he wanted it to be. I remember the car and like Planet Doom? idk I'm not familiar with the comics, but it sounded much cooler.

Batman and Robin is bad but it's fun as hell

[missjersey]

Such a fun movie.

7 year old me was OBSESSED with that film.

[futile_devices]
