Movies That Didn’t Actually Happen • Page 218

Bright also feels like a good contender for this thread, lol. Every once in a while I think about how someone actually wrote the line "ELF LIVES MATTER" or whatever and get mad that they don't let me write movies instead of the nepo baby sex pests of hollywood

 

never saw it

 

I watched that under the influence and don’t remember it at all

 

max landis' best contribution to society, and even that is debatable, is his Wrestling Isn't Wrestling video

Chronicle was cool though

 

Sometimes I peek over at his Youtube channel because he seems to have slowly gone insane since cancellation. I think he wrote a Superman feature starring himself for a community theater or something, lmao

 

Bright was basically a ripoff of another film with a slight twist. It was 1988's LA set sci-fi cop drama Alien Nation, but with fantasy orcs instead of aliens.

I also remember listening to a clip of a pod he did where he would try to impress people by pitching a movie like it was a party trick or something. He pitched "A reimagining of Peter Pan from Captain Hook's pov where he is the sympathetic protagonist". such a fucking hack lol

 

really all of these kinda fit

 

Just peeked and he made a 3hr and 20 minute full Superman film posted to YouTube six months ago...also starring himself. Lmao.

 

Shadow in the Cloud is one of the worst executions of a fun premise I've ever seen

 

oh yeah i remember this, it was on nerdist or id10t or whatever the Chris Hardwick pod was called at that time

 

Yeah it was supposed to be like a mind blowing reveal or something. So stupid.

 

never has a word done so much heavy lifting than "alleged" in reference to John Landis, lol

 

I almost watched this on many a flight. I’ve still never seen it, but the trailer pops into my head every now and then. I’d say it exists because of that.

 

“American Ultra” seemed like such a fun concept and had a decent trailer, plus an “Adventureland” reunion. Instead, it was all mean-spirited and awful. It’s crazy that Max Landis got so many shots at mainstream movies.

 

Also, he directed an Ariana Grande music video?

How high was Hollywood in the 2010s that he wrote one decent movie and a cool short so they gave him the world?

 

just because john landis killed those kids doesn't mean his children can't get undeserved opportunities from his cohorts

 

"allegedly"

 

good looking out

 

The “Coming to America” episode of Netflix’s “The Movies That Made Us” has a John Landis interview that basically boils down to “Look at this asshole.”

 

I literally just saw this for the first time. It was very strange.

 

American Ultra is fine. Don't know anything about the director.

 

Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum in Earth Girls are the hottest two people have ever been.

 

He is almost certainly a worse person than Adam Sandler, this I can say comfortably

 

Not a movie, but his TV adaptation Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was a pretty fun show imo.
