Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Looks WAY better than Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.

Hollywood creative bankruptcy.

I wouldn't say they adopter her. They just agreed to share the house with Deetz's. My guess would be they're going to pass on to the afterlife, rather than being in limbo for 125 years or whatever in that house.

Because back in the days studios mostly didn’t bother with sequels. IIRC sequels would usually get lower budgets. Remember how Arnold didn’t want to do Predator 2 because they didn’t pay him enough?
Imagine Conan releasing today for instance? Arnold would have been the Conan guy.
Entertainment industry was so infinitely better in the 90s.

Yeah, I agree, song was the weakest part of the teaser.

All of these were pretty good, though? Ghostbusters Afterlife/Empire are the weakest but they're not terrible. Top Gun 2 was legit better than the original. Mad Max Fury Road is one of the best action movies ever. It's not always a bad thing to do sequels. "Creative bankruptcy" is a thing but there are diamonds in the rough.

Bit of a sidenote, but it's almost as if Winona just stepped out of a time machine. Even with the heavier makeup she's still got that youthful vibrancy in her eyes.

I mean they take too long to make sequels... On the list they were all good, except Ghostbusters which seemed average to me...

35 years too late
I remember reading articles about it in the late 80s-early 90s along with seeing a picture of Keaton's character lying on a beach in a Hawaiian shirt.
As if we need more proof Hwood couldnt be more creatively bankrupt. And I love Keaton and Winona, but yeah hard pass on this horse shit. Just stahp.
Also, without an Otho, let alone Baldwin and Davis this franchise aint shit.

We watched Beetlejuice just the other day. Geena Davis was cute as fuck before she turned into Marty Funkhouser

Wrong, Wednesday was actually pretty decent.

A couple of mid episodes of TV in 30 years.
Dudes hit to miss ratio in those 30 years is pretty much zero for me. Strange as his early stuff was mostly good to classic stuff.

It was both, more his ultimate goal was just that. Don't act like BJ wouldn't tear the pussy out the frame, if he got the chance.

Better trailer, but i recall Michael Keaton saying something about the movie to the effect of "They went an interesting way with a character", almost like it was a controversial type thing. Unless he meant the
killing off of the father thats shown in the trailer....

Looks promising. I can't remember the last decent movie Burton made. Sleepy Hollow?

Burton's quality took a nosedive ages ago... he has directed some of the worst adaptations in history (Alice in Wonderland, Willy Wonka, etc). Absolutely soulless and awful, and this comes from a fan of his original, inventive films like Edward Scissorhands.
So I have little confidence in him anymore. But if he's returning to one of his early projects, maybe he'll actually put effort in again. Keaton alone could give it a spark.

Looks terrible outside of Keaton. Enough with the corporate nostalgia and callbacks already.

Looks like it will be fun, but that intro with Day-O being sung all melodramatic was cringe as f. You know whoever laid that trailer out, is the type who throws their back out trying to huff their own farts.

Yeah to be fair to my man BJ, he was much more interested in his local house of whores, and even in the mother....

What’s with the special effects, is it made for kids?
The first was a lot more horrific.

Shrunken head guy looks like a animatronic puppet, his 'Large Marge' impersonation at one point looks completely stop motion. Also, the sand worm is clearly stop motion like the original was. You can see the juddering. I'm sure there will probably be some CG enhancements in spots, but the effects really are in line with the original's.
The plot really looks like a direct continuation (though decades later) of the original film. They even went back to the same filing locations, rebuilt the original house facade. Remade the bridge. For a 'we got you' nostalgia movie... I am actually interested in this one.
Oops... also, I was walking about the latest trailer that just dropped.

Gonna skip watching the trailers and just wait to hear the buzz on this one after it releases. I've been entertained by nearly none of these modern updates/reboots/rehashes/etc. That is not to say that I disapprove of them being made, they just seldom turn out to be "for me." That being said, I did enjoy Top Gun Maverick and even Tron Legacy. Struggling to think of what else has done it for me. Planet of the Apes? I haven't seen the new one yet..
As for Burton, it's an interesting story I am sure. I was as much a superfan as anybody of his early stuff after he got big. Not sure where the drop-off happened, he was so wacky and out-there and promising, but for as talented as he obviously is, he doesn't seem to have that thing that some directors have about staying true to their own style/mode of working/etc, conitnuing to build upon a legacy. I mean, with Pee Wee, Beetlejuice, Scissorhands, the Batmans, Nightmare before Xmas (he didn't direct, I know) he completely blew the barn doors open again & again & again! This was all decades ago now. He's still worked a bunch since, but when was the last time he made something even in the same relative neighborhood of an impact on our culture like.. SO many of those films I just listed above? Maybe he is content to just take on lower-risk things, do his job, collect a whole bunch of money and call it a day. No one can fault him for that. But damn, so talented, the stuff he seems capable of is so far higher than what he has done since, and you'd expect it would just get more interesting as time went on. I guess the machine really does chew everybody up..
