I’m genuinely curious what their argument is regarding why they had to do it this way.

Like obviously the real answer is: “Can’t afford all those cgi monsters without that sweet us military propoganda money.”

But I assume that’s still gauche to say out loud…

Some day we’ll get a major Hollywood film where the first scene is the main character getting hit by a truck and dying, but not today.

Paul W.S. Anderson

Hey, Mortal Kombat was good! Twenty-five years ago…

Nowadays it seems like Anderson’s directing career exists solely to keep his wife’s acting career afloat. Not that I don’t respect the hustle.

I’m reminded of Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There! and how stupid that was.
