Man I can't wait until I can see this movie. Any news on whether there will be screenings outside the US?

[-] AttackBunny@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I’ve read in a couple places later this year in USA.

At this point the Marketing is his name. Well respected director and last movie? Sign me up

It's Miyazaki though, surely the "last movie" trick must get old after the fifth one or so.

[-] Blaze@sh.itjust.works 20 points 11 months ago

I mean, it's Miyazaki, marketing would be overkill

[-] YellowtoOrange@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Compare that to the latest crappy indiana jones movie.

[-] tox_solid@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I never thought I wouldn't give a shit about an Indiana Jones movie, but here we are.

I was thinking this as well. Action adventure films like it were what got me into filmmaking, yet even I have less than no desire to see it. It's actually pretty incredible how badly they missed the mark; the trailer just needed open up with Harrison Ford in costume saying something like "why is it always snakes?" followed immediately by the theme blasting up over an action montage. Instead, they chose to show a group of old men talking seriously in a bar, while some utterly stock sounding music underscores it. What were they thinking?

I don't know about the marketing, but the movie itself was pretty good.

[-] VioletTeacup@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

That's good to hear at least! I've heard mixed things from different people, but it just doesn't strike me as something I want to invest three hours into. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

Bugger me, it's 3 hours?!

3 hours of Miyazaki on the other hand, now that would be intriguing.

Especially the last bit. Most people I went with didn't like the end, but that's because they got lost. You can fault the ending for being too subtle.

[-] tox_solid@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Marketing a Miyazaki film is just redundant. It sells itself.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

You could say that for a lot of films, hell you could even say that trailers make things worse by spoiling things (which is why they didn't here), and yet studios still spend ridiculous sums on marketing.

I guess they feel that they need to do it for some (crappy) movies, so they have to do it for all of them. Otherwise it would be more obvious which movies are crap, because they're marketed more.

[-] gon@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Crazy, that's the power of a respected name in the industry.

[-] Colitas92@infosec.pub 4 points 11 months ago

Hoping to see how the sixth final miyazaki film will be like.

[-] Louisoix@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Wasn't there something about a caterpillar that was supposed to be the last one?

[-] Empyreus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Seems like a late release in the US unfortunately
