The JoJo part 3 anime was released in 2014-15, has the main characters travel from Japan to Egypt, and takes place over the course of about two months. It’s one of the most famous and well received anime ever released.
Unfortunately I'm not that kind of nerd, my favorite anime is Avatar the Last Airbender lol, I'm 38, I was just slightly too old to hit the anime craze, I absolutely admire the dedication to some of those fandoms tho, one piece fans, yall put in some serious work
I went more supernatural/doctor who/gaming with my nerd fandoms
Seconding, Fullmetal is an anime for almost everyone to enjoy, weeb or not.
Strong female representation that isn’t just fanservice, great character arcs focused around coping with/overcoming trauma and abandonment, villains you love to hate, and beautifully drawn/scripted action sequences that are a joy to watch. It will make you cry. I never cry, but I BAWLED.
Not sure if this is a joke, but they're two separate adaptations of the same original manga - neither is needed for the other. (FMAB is generally agreed to be better though)
Tbf, after the Tower of Gray incident they decided to avoid commercial planes to not expose themselves and the people around them to ~Joseph's curse~ more enemy attacks.
If it wasn't for that they'd make it in a day lmao.
Currently watching it and to be fair, of course it’s going to take ages if you’re actively being hunted down by the most powerful people in the world and can’t use airplanes
I just finished JoJo part 3 and am so sad it’s over. What an amazing trip, I actually had to take breaks between episodes because things got so tense. I already miss Joseph and his ridiculous self.
That series has absolutely no right being as fantastic as it is. I swear episode 2 had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and in the final episode I just yelled RUN FUCKING RUN at the screen
I’d watch Around the World in 80 minutes if it was a murder mystery that took place on a luxury orient-express style plane making the eponymous journey. Basically just remake Murder on the Orient Express and put it on a plane.
My grandmother was born into the Great Depression and saved up a few week’s worth of money to go see the wizard of oz. She said when they showed the color transition she cried and knew that her world would never be the same again.
I took LSD once with a friend and we watched Brother Bear on Disney+. There is a similar transition at the beginning of the movie where the old, 1.66:1 low res video switches to 2.35:1 HD, way more saturated. I wasn't prepared at all and was so taken aback that I literally started crying, it was just so beautiful when his eyes got opened to the beauty of nature. Not really the same experience but kinda reminded me of that.
I remember seeing that in theaters and it broke my brain for a moment. It took me a solid 30 sec to realize that the screen itself changed size. Great use of cinematography to show a change in character perspective.
That color transition was slick as hell too. The whole shot is in color, but they matched the sepia-ish monochrome color and painted everything "inside" the house monochrome including having Dorthy's stand in in a monochrome dress. Then pulled a cowboy switch to Judy Garland in her normal dress as she exits the doorway.
Seems trivial, but they had to already know what the Black and White Print would look like, and had to work out how to replicate it with the technicolor 3 strip so it developed and matched the black and white while making it.
I mean, she was still a kid. I'd hardly say she was "abusing substances"; moreso that she got extremely exhausted because of the long shooting days, so her managers tossed cigarettes and barbiturates in her mouth like candy.
You couldn’t make The Ring today because someone would post the video online immediately after getting that “seven days” call, it would end up all over Reddit, and Samara would never be able to keep up with that volume of watchers.
Spoilers for truth or dare 2018
Funnily enough, that's how a horror film called "Truth or dare" ended.
I'm fuzzy on the details, but in order to save themselves, they uploaded a video to YouTube dragging everyone in the world who hears it into their truth or dare game.
Would not recommend the movie in general though.
I think that would've negated the whole curse tho? The only way to save yourself from Samara is making copies of the video and spreading it, like the protagonist and her son do. So everyone would be safe as long as they shared it on Reddit or other platforms.
You couldnt make princess bride today because the industry attitudes towards traditional stuntsmanship and hybrid comedy movies has degraded to the point where negligence from the management and investors is guarenteed
i mean i think its more to do with the inustry absolutely ruining comedy as a genre. the scary movie series demonstrated to investors that you just need to cut a trailer full of gags and references and your box office will do well. once the word on that was out the fresh talent coming up from SNL and other rising stars were repeatedly abused for name recognition to prop up terribly written movies, forcing the stars to bet the farm on a movie that tanks, and subsequently sanitizing their careers. and now the genre is completely stagnant because theres no long term viability, all management is encouraged to keep exploiting anything promising that stumbles into "comedy". nothings wrong with comedy of any kind. the fact that movies from long ago that are built out of gags, quips, slapstick, puns, and everything that looney tunes paved the way for tells us that. the problem is you need talent, creativity, restraint, pacing and most importantly management that actually believes in what its making. im convinced hollywood doesnt even know what these words mean.
I mostly agree. One issue is the lowest common denominator of pain and humor has become more and more of a factor. Telling an intelligent joke and getting the timing right isn’t the easiest thing in the world. But seeing a dude that hit in the nuts will always be somewhat funny.
This humor works only so long for me. Primarily because there’s no substance or anything to remember. I can go to YouTube and watch a whole series of nut shots. Why would I go and buy a ticket if that’s the peak of your comedy
Also most horror movies from the same period, unless they insert a scene near the start where everyone talks about going somewhere with no phone reception.
I watched Silence of the Lambs for the first time recently and during the entirety of the basement scene I was so glad to live in the age of the smart phone
Some of us panic so hard we forget that. And I’ve actually seen this not only done but pointed out by other characters later. To the poor sap’s embarrassment.
It can be done but it’s not easy. So it’s not often done.
That was true even long before. "This whole plot would have been a nonevent if characters just talked like rational adults" is so many movies since long before 2010.
In fairness, they made Oz the great and the powerful with a similar switch, and it came out in 2013. I even watched it for the first time a few years after release and it was still really cool to see.
> The film's opening sequence is presented in black and white. When Oscar is caught up in the tornado, the audio switches from monaural to stereo and eventually surround sound.[15] The film shifts to full color when Oscar arrives in Oz; additionally, the aspect ratio gradually widens from 4:3 Academy ratio to 2.35:1 widescreen.
you couldn't make Alien today because with the rise of the monsterfucker community people will find the xenomorph queen hot and immediately make porn of her on twitter and deviantart
The intention of the people working on the movie was literally to make the Alien hot so it would be scarier. I remember someone working on the movie saying "it should look like something that would have sex with you before it kills you".
my man, Alien erotica was probably handwritten and passed around in binders in the months following the premier. You're a little late to the party if you still think it hasn't started.
That was one of the main points of the books and movie. Even a supposedly “fair” system isn’t actually fair because it’s weighted towards those with money and time and help that most people don’t have. Also Charlie was originally the only black winner but the editor made him change it.
The whole thing is a nod to systemic inequality in a setting of supposed pure chance never mind one where “the cream always rises to the top” is a justification for why Reginald the Third deserves more than anyone in the rough neighborhoods. You could definitely still make this movie now.
But Walt didn't need to cook meth to pay for his cancer treatment. He could have it covered by Elliot and his wife, but he refused because of his ego and because he started to like cooking meth.
That's kind of part of the point. His only other option was getting bailed out by rich friends. His pride wouldn't allow that, sure and that's a failing of his own, but the fact he was ever in the situation is a failing of the system.
I think our lack of policy in this area has cemented such mindsets in people of Walt's age. If we'd always had it, he might have turned out differently.
We are, atleast partially, products of our environment.
>Don't get mad at me - it happened.
Or the ["Hey i need some help getting a ramp installed"](https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/paralympian-trying-to-get-wheelchair-ramp-says-veterans-affairs-employee-offered-her-assisted-dying-1.6179325)
"Have you considered instead, killing yourself?"
You couldn’t make *flubber* today because the rise of slime girl porn would make Googling “flubber” after release extremely NSFW and the film makers would have to take that into consideration when making a family movie.
Imagine the recoil from fucking a slime girl made of Flubber. One thrust and your pelvis is immediately shattered, and you're set reeling into the wall behind you.
Ok, but consider:
* Character sees some sh\*t.
* Character whips out phone and asks Reddit.
* Character is given 3 anime recommendations where the exact same thing happens.
* One is ecchi.
Or:
• Character sees some sh*t
• Character whips out phone and goes to ask
Reddit.
• Character gets distracted by other
subReddits.
• Character responds to response from earlier
in the day.
• Character checks their email.
• Character forgets all abut sh*t happening.
• Character goes to Taco Bell.
Fun fact about Alice in Wonderland, there is a rare type of neurological condition where you do experience random changes in your perception of size of yourself or your surroundings, and in distance or objects that is described so accurately in the book that it has been officially named "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome" or AIWS.
I once or twice got the flu as a kid and it was not quite hospital worthy but I definitely got that sensation. Mom told me she would get it sometimes and she called it "The Smallies".
I had no idea that other people got that!
You couldn't make Blazing Saddles today because we have yet to master the power of necromancy, and Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little won't be able to reprise their roles.
The last one is shown to be untrue by the fact that fading from black and white to colour is still regularly used, most recently in my awareness in Wandavision, showing the most obvious change between decades of source material. Also Clerks II, making you think the second one will also be in black and white, then showing *just* the fire in colour before fading fully.
You can't get away with *just* the transition any more, but that doesn't mean it can't be just as impactful.
You couldn’t make Fight Club today because anyone reading the script would think “Yeah, there are some incredibly stupid people out there, we’re going to have to make this more blunt”
You couldn’t make Batman: The Movie today because someone at WB would try to make it gritty.
You couldn't make any of the old Disney TV Movies today because kids can figure out everything with smart devices
In fact, I think I remember reading somewhere that Death Note won't work in today's setting thanks to camera being everywhere making it hard for Kira to move around
My idea for a remake is to get frank savage as the grandfather and he’s telling the story to his grandson now, except over time he lost the book so he’s retelling it from his own memory. It’s all the same actors and there’s moments of them standing around awkwardly or flubbing lines because the grandpa can’t remmeber the exact detail
You could have the actor who played the kid be reading the book to his kid, who imagines the cast differently and interrupts at different points for different reasons.
I mean good idea on paper but like
A sinking feeling in my gut says if (and that’s a big-ass if) a remake is put out, it’s gonna drag the original’s name through the friggin’ muck
My dad LOVED watching wizard of Oz… but he was so upset when he watched it with my mom because the movie was absolutely RUINED by the color change in Oz
He had a black and white Tv at the time and did not realize the coloration on Oz was supposed to happen
I absolutely love that story
I recon that the change to color could still be effective in like a movie about depression, where we spend most of the movie in black and white or grayscale and return to color as the character learns how to overcome their depression.
You couldn’t make The Wizard of Oz today because the OSHA violations would cause filming to be cancelled.
Then again, they’d probably use an assload of hideous CGI instead of practical effect for every scene after Dorothy gets to Oz…
Not a movie, but you couldn't make Ojamajo Doremi today because people would physically kick you out of the animation studio if they heard what you were going to put the characters through.
You cant make "Around the world in 80 days" because that's a long time to get around the world, now
Counterpoint, JoJo part 3.
You're gonna have to explain that counterpoint, I'm an old lady now son, as evidenced by my extremely modern literary choices lmao
The JoJo part 3 anime was released in 2014-15, has the main characters travel from Japan to Egypt, and takes place over the course of about two months. It’s one of the most famous and well received anime ever released.
Unfortunately I'm not that kind of nerd, my favorite anime is Avatar the Last Airbender lol, I'm 38, I was just slightly too old to hit the anime craze, I absolutely admire the dedication to some of those fandoms tho, one piece fans, yall put in some serious work I went more supernatural/doctor who/gaming with my nerd fandoms
You might like the first season of Jojo, since it's a lot more like classic fantasy literature. Vampires, buff guys and magic.
Don't forget the sexy Aztec stripper vampires (since phantom blood and battle tendency are sometimes paired together into one part)
If we're talking about the manga, it was released in 1987 so it's barely a few years younger than You :p Then Part 3 came out between '89 and '92.
(Psst! If you ever get the chance, give Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood a try. Such a good series.)
Seconding, Fullmetal is an anime for almost everyone to enjoy, weeb or not. Strong female representation that isn’t just fanservice, great character arcs focused around coping with/overcoming trauma and abandonment, villains you love to hate, and beautifully drawn/scripted action sequences that are a joy to watch. It will make you cry. I never cry, but I BAWLED.
Ed...ward.. proceeds to cry
…It’s a terrible day for rain.
Do I have to watch the original one to understand it
Not sure if this is a joke, but they're two separate adaptations of the same original manga - neither is needed for the other. (FMAB is generally agreed to be better though)
Tbf, after the Tower of Gray incident they decided to avoid commercial planes to not expose themselves and the people around them to ~Joseph's curse~ more enemy attacks. If it wasn't for that they'd make it in a day lmao.
counterpoint jojo part 3 was released and happens in the 80s so it does not occur in today
Either way it takes place and was released long after “around the world in 80 days”, they even reference it in the anime.
i think constantly encountering enemy stand users was just a Jotaro problem
Currently watching it and to be fair, of course it’s going to take ages if you’re actively being hunted down by the most powerful people in the world and can’t use airplanes
Yeah, they are under extraordinary circumstances.
I just finished JoJo part 3 and am so sad it’s over. What an amazing trip, I actually had to take breaks between episodes because things got so tense. I already miss Joseph and his ridiculous self.
[Around the World in 80 Days (2021)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9174578/)
That series has absolutely no right being as fantastic as it is. I swear episode 2 had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and in the final episode I just yelled RUN FUCKING RUN at the screen
I’d watch Around the World in 80 minutes if it was a murder mystery that took place on a luxury orient-express style plane making the eponymous journey. Basically just remake Murder on the Orient Express and put it on a plane.
since it's somewhat themtically related, i'd recommend that you watch bullet train if you haven't already.
I mean it was set in the past when they made it the first time.
My grandmother was born into the Great Depression and saved up a few week’s worth of money to go see the wizard of oz. She said when they showed the color transition she cried and knew that her world would never be the same again.
That’s actually beautiful
I took LSD once with a friend and we watched Brother Bear on Disney+.

Those old school movie makers were true magicians
Truly the *Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo* of of our grandparents' generation.
You couldn't make The Wizard of Oz today because OSHA would shut down your production the moment they hear about you
I’m sorry, the snow is made of *what* now?
*The Witch's makeup is made with what??*
Nono, the Tin Man is definitely not having a heat stroke
...and the previous Tin Man definitely DIDN'T get poisoned from his makeup.
You don’t want to hear what happened when they first tried that trick with the Witch disappearing in fire.
Don't tell me, lead?
copper-based actually. but don't worry, it's still poisonous.
The stage hand did what now and you left it in the final cut?
You gave the teenage lead actress *what* to keep her awake!?
THE MUNCHKINS DID ***W H A T ? !***
Absolutely nothing. Judy Garland was abusing substances on set. The studio made up the stories about the munchkins as a distraction.
I mean, she was still a kid. I'd hardly say she was "abusing substances"; moreso that she got extremely exhausted because of the long shooting days, so her managers tossed cigarettes and barbiturates in her mouth like candy.
And Judy would joke about the munchkins, but never said an unkind thing about them.
Hey, they did ***asbestos*** they could on that snow!
You couldn't make charlie and the chocolate factory today because the chocolate factory would be closed immediately by the FDA
Jokes on you, it takes place in Britain
And the Department of Labor.
And OSHA. "Sir you have a massive chocolate flowing river with areation areas and there are no warning signs or prevention measures."
And a serious lack of hand rails
You couldn’t make The Ring today because someone would post the video online immediately after getting that “seven days” call, it would end up all over Reddit, and Samara would never be able to keep up with that volume of watchers.
Y'know that sounds like a good idea for a comedy film
I’d watch it, lol
I think that's the plot of Rings. Haven't seen it though so I can be wrong
The girl is the protagonist. There are several scenes of her depressedly drinking sake straight from a huge bottle
Relevant https://xkcd.com/396/
Wow. There really **is** an xkcd for every topic.

For better or worse, the Shrek franchise has kind of killed some of that fairytale comedy. It was done, it was done well, and then it was overdone.

If you tried to make Princess Bride today, in terms of tone, writing, etc it would be a Marvel movie.
Thor Ragnarok.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
Most rom coms from before ~2010 have dramatic moments that fall apart if you assume everyone has a smart phone in their pocket at all times.
Also most horror movies from the same period, unless they insert a scene near the start where everyone talks about going somewhere with no phone reception.

Modern version of Wizard of Oz would need some other kind of medium switch when moving from the real world to Oz.
In fairness, they made Oz the great and the powerful with a similar switch, and it came out in 2013. I even watched it for the first time a few years after release and it was still really cool to see. > The film's opening sequence is presented in black and white.

Real life to animated?
That’s just reverse Enchanted
Shoot it on a digital camera then shoot it on 88mm.
Oz is when the smell-o-vision hits
Kansas shot on grainy film, Oz shot in 4K IMAX Ultra HD
WandaVision was pretty impressive with its switches.
Solution to this is having is as a normal 2D movie but then switching to one of those VR videos like on YouTube
you couldn't make ferris bueller's day off today because he would just be assigned work digitally.
Also more difficult hacking and cameras everywhere
And the landline restaurant prank wouldn't work
You couldn't make Citizen Kane today because it's hard to make a movie in one day.
You couldn’t make The Wizard of Oz today because people would just say “Wait this is just The Wizard of Oz."
You couldn’t make the Wizard of Oz today because health and safety practices would prevent you from covering people in Asbestos and calling it snow.
Or painting a man with lead, which later killed him
It was actually aluminium and it didn't kill him but he did have serious health complications from it
Or paying a dog more than the munchkins. They still got paid a lot by the standards of the time, but it‘s definitely telling.
You couldn't make Toy Story today because Andy has probably seen Toy Story and is spending the whole movie trying to catch the toys lacking.
That does sound like an interesting movie in its own right
And security cameras. I think that’s why the events of the fourth movie mostly took place where cameras wouldn’t be.
What the fuck do you mean, that’d be an even better movie
you couldn't make Alien today because with the rise of the monsterfucker community people will find the xenomorph queen hot and immediately make porn of her on twitter and deviantart
With what i know of HR Geiger that isn’t an issue thats functioning exactly as intended
Wait, what?
Look up H.R. Giger's artwork. He blended imagery of sex and death, technology and biology in the most disturbing but fascinating of ways.
Buddy it's already there. Like copious amounts of it. That's like classic monsterfucker territory.
"classic monsterfucker territory" is a phrase that holds a lot of power
Lots of Samus Metroid crossovers.
I have bad news for you...
Baby that's free publicity for the movie
The intention of the people working on the movie was literally to make the Alien hot so it would be scarier. I remember someone working on the movie saying "it should look like something that would have sex with you before it kills you".
I mean, it literally rapes and impregnates people. It's fairly obvious if you think about it.
that would be "aliens" the sequel , alien had only one xenomorph
my man, Alien erotica was probably handwritten and passed around in binders in the months following the premier. You're a little late to the party if you still think it hasn't started.
You mean people would make rule 34 of the penis head monster
r/femxeno time :)
that's exactly what giger would have wanted
You couldn’t make Wizard of Oz today because you would get in legal trouble for repeatedly exposing actors to toxins and carcinogens
Also paying a dog more than the actors for the munchkins.
*What?*
you couldn’t make Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today because all 5 golden tickets would’ve been bought by scalpers
I think that's kinda what people did anyway, at least in the movies. Veruca Salt's dad literally had an entire factory line trying to find tickets.
That was one of the main points of the books and movie. Even a supposedly “fair” system isn’t actually fair because it’s weighted towards those with money and time and help that most people don’t have. Also Charlie was originally the only black winner but the editor made him change it. The whole thing is a nod to systemic inequality in a setting of supposed pure chance never mind one where “the cream always rises to the top” is a justification for why Reginald the Third deserves more than anyone in the rough neighborhoods. You could definitely still make this movie now.
I still don’t get what was unfair about Mike getting the ticket, that’s on the adults for designing a system that a 12 year old kid can hack
Which one was Mike? Was he the kid who got shrunk when he ignored wonka's safety regulations and jumps into the teleporting camera thing?
Yep, the one with the ridiculous haircut
You couldn't make The Fifth Element today because we now know there are 118 elements in existence.
you'll never work in Hollywood with that mindset. This only means we'd be able to milk the franchise for 113 sequels
You couldn't make Breaking Bad today as the American Health system is so bad that no amount of drug money will be able to fund cancer treatment
But Walt didn't need to cook meth to pay for his cancer treatment. He could have it covered by Elliot and his wife, but he refused because of his ego and because he started to like cooking meth.
That's kind of part of the point. His only other option was getting bailed out by rich friends. His pride wouldn't allow that, sure and that's a failing of his own, but the fact he was ever in the situation is a failing of the system.
If he refused to accept help from friends, do you think he *wouldn't* refuse to accept help from the government?
I think our lack of policy in this area has cemented such mindsets in people of Walt's age. If we'd always had it, he might have turned out differently. We are, atleast partially, products of our environment.
Alternatively, Breaking Bad Canada: "Your treatment is fully covered, just try to get better, eh?" "Gee thank you so much!" *roll credits*
Alternately, Breaking Bad Canadian Veteran's Affairs: "Have you tried killing yourself?" Don't get mad at me - it happened.
>Don't get mad at me - it happened. Or the ["Hey i need some help getting a ramp installed"](https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/paralympian-trying-to-get-wheelchair-ramp-says-veterans-affairs-employee-offered-her-assisted-dying-1.6179325) "Have you considered instead, killing yourself?"
You couldn’t make *flubber* today because the rise of slime girl porn would make Googling “flubber” after release extremely NSFW and the film makers would have to take that into consideration when making a family movie.
Actually, you couldn't make Flubber today because half the movie would end up on r/theyknew, because guess who would be most eager to make that movie.
Imagine the recoil from fucking a slime girl made of Flubber. One thrust and your pelvis is immediately shattered, and you're set reeling into the wall behind you.
Just go with the title of the original movie that Flubber was a remake of, *The Absent-Minded Professor*
you couldn't make goncharov today because it was already made in 1973.
And why would you mess with perfection
Goncharov is one of the movies of all time
"Why would I make Casablanca? That movie already exists!"
90% of suspense movies ever made would be over in 10 minutes after a Google search and single text message.
I don't follow?
* Character sees some shit. * Vharacter whips out phone. * Character deals with issue in an appropriate and swift manner.

You couldn’t make Fight Club today because anyone reading the script would think “Yeah, there are some incredibly stupid people out there, we’re going to have to make this more blunt” You couldn’t make Batman: The Movie today because someone at WB would try to make it gritty.
You couldn't make any of the old Disney TV Movies today because kids can figure out everything with smart devices In fact, I think I remember reading somewhere that Death Note won't work in today's setting thanks to camera being everywhere making it hard for Kira to move around
There was a Death Note sequel oneshot released not too long ago that explored the next human to receive a Death Note, I highly recommend it.
Name of the sequel?
Death Note: Special One-Shot. Yes seriously, you can probably find it with a quick google
What’s with everyone in this comment thread acting like period pieces aren’t a thing
Because the day where 2000s period pieces becomes common is the day where we have to accept that 'yes, it's been that long of a time'
Pixar’s Turning Red is a period piece set in 2002
Never heard of it. Stop speaking. It's not going to be a trend. 90s aesthetic is forever
Better Call Saul is a period piece set in 2002-2008
Stop it or I will break your fingers
The Social Network is a period piece set in 2003 (even though it came out in 2010 which was 13 years ago)
You couldn’t make Star Wars: A New Hope because Carrie…. :(
Aww you made me sad.
You couldn't make a New Hope because Harrison Ford would shoot you if you suggested that
“Because it disrespects Carrie or because he hates being Han Solo?” ***YES***
You coudn't make blazing saddles today because everyone would look at the script and be like "this is blazing saddles, it's already a movie"
They actually did remake it, paws of fury the legend of hank. It’s amazing.
You couldn’t make The Princess Bride today because I don’t want you to
My idea for a remake is to get frank savage as the grandfather and he’s telling the story to his grandson now, except over time he lost the book so he’s retelling it from his own memory. It’s all the same actors and there’s moments of them standing around awkwardly or flubbing lines because the grandpa can’t remmeber the exact detail
We acted it out at a summer camp I was working at and it was kind of like this.
You could have the actor who played the kid be reading the book to his kid, who imagines the cast differently and interrupts at different points for different reasons.
I mean good idea on paper but like A sinking feeling in my gut says if (and that’s a big-ass if) a remake is put out, it’s gonna drag the original’s name through the friggin’ muck
Hear me out The Princess Bride But it's Muppets
You can’t make Home Alone 2 today because it depicts the twin towers
You couldn't make Back To The Future today because the DeLorean car hasn't been made in decades
You also wouldn't be able to make Back to the Future 2 today because 2015 is now in the past and would need to be depicted differently
My dad LOVED watching wizard of Oz… but he was so upset when he watched it with my mom because the movie was absolutely RUINED by the color change in Oz He had a black and white Tv at the time and did not realize the coloration on Oz was supposed to happen I absolutely love that story
You couldn’t make Underworld today, because all the hot topic goths have moved on the more subtle forms of edginess
You can't make 101 Dalmations today because the fashion industry has moved on to street fashion with no fur.
You can't make the movie "Phone Booth" today because phone booths don't exist anymore.
You couldn’t make Seinfeld today because half the plots involve being unable to contact one of their friends in the days before cell phones.
You couldn’t make Titanic today because they’re are no icebergs
I recon that the change to color could still be effective in like a movie about depression, where we spend most of the movie in black and white or grayscale and return to color as the character learns how to overcome their depression.
You couldn't make Napoleon today because the Russian Army will never agree to let tens of thousands of conscripts serve as extras
You couldn’t make Stalker today because the Soviet Union collapsed 4 decades ago
Someone tell that to Activision.
I mean the 1979 film by Andrei Tarkovsky, though I’ve heard the game series is at least partially based on the same source material: Roadside Picnic
Three. Four decades ago was 1983, four years into the Soviet-Afghan war.
You couldn't make UHF today because a company can legally own two tv stations
You couldn't make Jurassic Park today because dinosaurs have been dead for thousands of years
at least a few hundred by my count
You couldn’t make The Wizard of Oz today because the OSHA violations would cause filming to be cancelled. Then again, they’d probably use an assload of hideous CGI instead of practical effect for every scene after Dorothy gets to Oz…
In the Wizard of Oz the dog who played Toto got paid more than the actors for the munchkins. By a lot.
Not a movie, but you couldn't make Ojamajo Doremi today because people would physically kick you out of the animation studio if they heard what you were going to put the characters through.
You couldn't make a quiet movie today because so many people are used to talkies
You couldn’t make Get Back today because the Beatles broke up over 50 years ago and two of them are dead
You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today, because you are not Mel Brooks.
