TIL there’s a GREENLAND movie starring Gerard Butler.
I believe I read that it was something like a darker more violent and less hopeful version of Deep Impact.
It’s actually pretty good. Not amazing, but good.
My opinion: The first two acts had some amazing palpable tension as you wait for the world to end. A really engaging depiction of people and society leading up to, and during the end of everything.
The last act is a somewhat typical telling of the main characters trying to survive everything. Important to the story, but nothing that keeps you on edge.
I think that’s a fair assessment. I remember interviewing the director for my old job and it seemed like he was mostly focused on the world-building piece.
Assuming there really is a movie franchise named GREENLAND, why would they show it in cinemas in the US but not in Canada?
I assume because Canadian consumers are less likely to support an American movie by that title just now, and it just isn’t worth opening a fairly small movie in theaters if nobody is going to go.
Yes, there really is a movie called “Greenland 2: Migration” releasing in US theaters this Friday.
And the reason it’s not getting a theatrical release in Canada is because of Canadian politics involving Trump. Read more here.
I’m aware of the political situation.
I chose to read this archived version of above article and it does not mention the movie at all afaics.
Reminds me of the Tim Allen movie after 911 that had to reshoot the ending because it involved a plane crashing into buildings.
That movie being so kicked around post-9/11 was a shame. I thought it was a perfectly charming little flick with a great cast. The book was much better but who knows how much the reshoots contributed to that?
There was also Lilo & Stitch that has that whole sequence that needed to be redrawn with a spaceship-over-rural theme instead of a plane-over-urban theme.
Interesting. I listen to a podcast that debunks Alex Jones’ podcast, and so I know that the imagery of a big plane crashing into a skyscraper predates 9/11 by years.
Also, the guy with the ice cream was a nice detail in that movie.
“Counter-podcast podcast” is a hell of a mood
It’s the only way I can digest various nutjobs’ content.
Do you mean Big Trouble? It wasn’t reshot and didn’t have a plane crashing into buildings. It was just delayed because it was originally going to release on September 21, 2001 and they thought showing people smuggling a bomb onto an airplane would be a little unpalatable 10 days after 9/11.
Great movie though. If you want to see what airport security was like just before 9/11, this is probably the last depiction of it.
Genuinely thought I was the only one who remembered that movie prior to this thread.
This wasn’t a shit post?
