Poor Things Movie Review Emma Stone Shines Bright

Emma Stone: ‘Poor Things’ Movie Review Emma Stone can sing and move, yet in the absurdist “Poor Things” she’s a cheerful sight immaturely slamming utensils against a supper table, wolfing down tarts, and finding sweat-soaked lewd enthusiasm in a French bordello. The Oscar-winning entertainer reteams with “The Number One” chief Yorgos Lanthimos for this unusually awesome Victorian-period…

Man meets Morbol

[eepytricksterart]

That moment when you and your little brother wanted a late night snack and you have to sneak around but instead you see one of your mentors, who also wanted a late night snack, wandering around and his eyes glow in the dark.

Aka I am a firm believer in the cryptid Hydro agenda.

bestie, idk who lied to you, but that film was never meant to be an eat the rich film. there is a huge difference between messaging and setting and I am begging everyone to understand that.

Poor Things (2023)

[icharchivist]

I remember hearing that Veilguard was originally supposed to be a completely different genre of game, like online multiplayer or something, that was later retooled into a single player one

yeah that's true, sortof

the game has been rebooted twice. Originally it was a single player taking right after DAI: Trespasser that focused on Solas' elven rebellion. Then they drifted to another version of the game that still had that in focus but more detached from DAI. Eventually this version was forced into a Multiplayer mode which had to completely rewrite the genre of the game. Then finally we could get to the current version of the game.

Out of the 10 years of development this game was stuck in, we only have the last 3 years of development into Veilguard. I have the artbook, i know just how drastically stuff were cutdown. It was a completely different game at the start.

The Multiplayer mode is where i can see a lot of the flaws coming from. Mainly the hyper-sanitization of the setting and of the factions the protagonist can be a part of. I can sense the marketting aspect of "you need to remove the slavery inherent to the Crows because else people won't want to get into this faction and we need all of them to be balanced :(" It also feels with how unbalanced the content is for each faction, since they started out as more neutral group players would evenly spread themselves through, but once a real plot was established, some factions just had very little to do with the overaching plot (rip Lords of Fortune i guess)

Besides multiplayer means liveservice which probably means even the plot didn't have a lot of room to be and that updates were expected to flesh out the start out world.

so yeah, this truly hurt Veilguard then. And like if you leave it to me i can even ramble about why it happened, how EA kept forcing Bioware to chase trends and that the failures of Anthem (the live service multiplayer game Bioware did not want to make but had to halt all development in others games to make) and ME: Andromeda (that was poorly received by fans of the licence and therefore put doubt on the Bioware formula despite the fact DAI itself has been so well welcomed it was game of the year 2014))

Bioware is doomed by horrible management especially from EA and there is still so much of that that shines through the game.

And honestly even a lot of things i think are more ambiguously because of the writing, are probably hypercorrecting because EA told them to tone down some thing.

But there is also problems with the games i think it would be generous to say are fully because of EA.

This is just a game that suffered a lot from its 10 years development crisis.

So many veteran left the development, starting by Gaider who was the lead narrative developper at the point, and he was vocal about how he left bc EA actively hated their writers. Others veterans like Mary Kirby were laid off one year before the end of the project. Hell even now another veteran just announced last month they're leaving Bioware.

I think that evidently this game came with a real troubled production that had people jump ship and a lot of people being so worn out by the development cycle they did whatever they could to get it done with and i think this also shows in the project.

I do feel for the studio and the devs, truly.

But it doesn't make Veilguard a game i can give a pass to. DA2 also famously had a troubled development but at least its story was fire. Did it deserve at least one rewrite? I think so! are the gameplay problems still problems? yeah sure. But at least da2 is still a game i love to think about and am not frustrated about.

I can't be as generous with Veilguard.

But yeah. It's a tragedy in development that translated to just a mess of a game. Doesn't make any of it easier to swallow tho.

Is it just me or does it seem like Yorgos Lanthimos used to make really cool and original films and then discovered Eraserhead and the Elephant Man and is trying to pay homage to Lynch but doing it in the most painfully obvious way?

[bumblydumbly]

There are a lot of things I love about venom 2 and a lot of things i disagree with (but is really just the same thing kinda)

Love Venom’s behavior pretty much the whole time gotta be honest (aside from his Anne obsession and subsequently his time inside of Mrs. Chen)

Was very unimpressed (person to character) with Eddie’s behavior for most of the movie, BUT its kinda tied to the root issue i had with this movie—

Sanitizing Venom (painting him as a ‘good guy’).

Okay so, the antagonists of this movie are Cletus and Carnage, Cletus being a known serial killer and Carnage being, well. Borne of anger and fear and blood and conflict—so really into killing lots and lots and not really to eat.

So above board, they dont want your protagonists to be comparable to these guys! They cant kill and eat bad guys on a regular basis bc that is too similar to killing innocent people obviously.

But, Eddie is totally cool with it in the first movie by the end and is willing to compromise. So “the FBI is investigating them”, and Eddie is really selfish and mean to Venom as a result.

Which brings me to: the bullshit reasons they give for the FBI to be investigating them:

“Multiple dead bodies at your building last year” most of the characters where definitely still groaning when Eddie had to jump out the window (not to mention the ones who were alive continued giving chase), but even if he was investigated it would be self defense, bc they CLEARLY broke into his apartment and attacked him. Not really FBI-worthy unless they were investigating private security services

“That bizarre outburst at the lobster restaurant,” The staff decidedly did NOT call the police? They called an ambulance, which likely also has files or documentation of calls, but nowhere near as accessible as a police report, so why is that even on the FBIs radar? Even if it was, the results from the hospital visit were unlike anything theyd ever seen, but its not entirely uncommon for sporadic behavior to occur in fevered patients. Not really FBI-worthy, either.

“And only you at The Life Foundation when that rocket exploded” Actually? Seriously? The only person who was anywhere near the Life Foundation after Riot killed all of the scientists (which. is pertinent and not feasible for Eddie to have done) was Anne, and we dont really see her leave to know WHEN she left, but any record of eddie at the life foundation was literally Being Kidnapped, unless we’re expected to believe that after being blown probably 60 feet away from the rocket and into the bay that he swam TOWARDS the life foundation instead of away just so the police have a witness. Very plausible.

[chronurgy]

I actually do like the trailer as a "meet the gang" trailer, I think it's fun and quirky in a good way. But it never should have been the launch trailer, and it was a massive marketing screw up to make it one
