Movie Talk

[Antonio_Bay]

I don't think theres a place to talk about upcoming films which don't yet deserve their own threads, or to post little nuggets of general info in so here it is.

Burton to make Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117976106.html?categoryid=13&cs=1). - I think this a perfect match with hopefully another great Elfman score.

And also; McG confirmed as director of T4 - wow, does this news suck. Why don't they go the whole hog and have Paul W S Anderson script it and Uwe Boll Exec Produce?

[phit_demon]

And also; McG confirmed as director of T4
They might as well have dropped trou (sp?) and squeezed one out on my face.

That is going kill the franchise stone dead for me.

Wow, I can't wait to see what type of twisted LSD experiment Burton turns Alice's Adventures in Wonderland into.

[phit_demon]

It will probably just suck as hard as Charlie & The Unnecessary Remake.

[Antonio_Bay]

I have to hold my hands up and reveal I've never seen the Wilder version. I know - its shameful. :o

However, I like the Burton version, and own it. :p

That really is shameful. It is the only version.

[By-tor]

That really is shameful. It is the only version.Shameful, indeed. But, I enjoyed the new one, okay. But, as you know, I'm kinda easy.

[Antonio_Bay]

When I do get round to watching it, I'm sure I'll realise all the deficiencies in the Burton version, but without any prior knowledge I really did enjoy it.

[BOP TILL U DROP]

help. police. murder.....i like both movies. "charlie and the chocolate factory" is much more closely related to the book than "willy wonka's chocolate factory". but, i like both versions almost equally.

[ratm1966]

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I had a huge long post written for this thread and I friggin' timed out while I was writing it and lost the entire thing when I tried to post it.

Nutshell...

Book was better than movies, but I liked the original movie better than the new one even though it is closer to the book. I believe I read somewhere that Dahl didn't even intend for the book to be a children's book.

Another Roald Dahl book I enjoyed was "My Uncle Oswald"; definitely not a children's book.

Common references between both books; snozzberries. In "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" they are a fruit flavor on lickable wallpaper. In "My Uncle Oswald" it is a slang term for the male genetalia. So, were they licking "dicks and balls" when they were licking the wallpaper?

[looking4answers]

... But, I enjoyed the new one, okay. But, as you know, I'm kinda easy.

Christian Bale is new John Conner (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/34867).

Glimmer of hope, maybe?

No it's not.
They completely change the moral of the story.

[BOP TILL U DROP]

So what is the moral of the story?

[phit_demon]

Christian Bale is new John Conner (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/34867).

Glimmer of hope, maybe?
Yeah, I heard that.
It's the most perfect casting combined with the most wretched director...it could go either way now. The rumour floating around is that Bale is trying to get McG taken off the project. I hope that a) the rumour is true, and b) he succeeds.

[juju(x-treme)]

It will probably just suck as hard as Charlie & The Unnecessary Remake.

Because you touch yourself at night.

[Omaru]

I prefer the original movie, it had memroable, likeable songs. Depp isn't a patch on Wilder and comes across more like Michael Jackson. Also in terms of child actors, the 70's kids seemed better, with the exception of the violets who seemed about the same.

Also dark Alice in Wonderland........ isn't that just kind of like the videogame: American McGee's Alice

[Antonio_Bay]

I recently read some news about McGee's Alice being adapted to film, with Sarah Michelle Geller starring, but cannot re-find that article.

Two Alice films in production - even better.

[juju(x-treme)]

Because you touch yourself at night.
you got a good point there

Didn't they kill the franchise when they made the very Tom and Jerry-esque Terminator 3...that movie blew hairy monkey chunks.

On the other hand, with Christian Bale attached I may have to see the new one...

[BOP TILL U DROP]

I thought it looked cute. I grew up on Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. I might go see it.

[reecewicked]

yeh...but at least brodie mans in there

True, but why has he gone to the dark side. Making all these kids movies isn’t his type of thing. Like the movie Underdog...now Alvin and the Chipmunks? What next?
His much better at being an asshole in his movies, like in Mallrats or even My Names Earl is better than that shit.

I thought it looked cute. I grew up on Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. I might go see it.

Il admit, the movie itself looks alright, but Jason Lee as one of the main characters just doesn't seem to suit.

[BOP TILL U DROP]

i've seen all the animated movies, but i don't know how i feel about this one. i always have mixed feelings when people make movies with animated animals. it could be a "who framed roger rabbit?", or a "space jam".

[reecewicked]

Cute? Alvin placed feces in his mouth! Since when has a voluntary bricking become "acceptable for all ages"? While I'm not of the opinion that kid's films need to be ultra-squeaky clean, I thought that gag took bathroom humor a bit too far.

[JK]

Cute? Alvin placed feces in his mouth! ...

[ZBarclay]

He called the shit feces.

So what is the moral of the story?
I think it was : "If you clone a bunch of mexican midgets they can be incredibly annoying and yet histarically funny."
and also that it's not good to be greedy.
it pays to be nice
and whatever

[Antonio_Bay]

Whenever someone mentions a random movie like this on this board, it always happens to have been broadcast on English TV recently, and also that I watched it.

Best parts of Space Jam consist of one man alone.

[JK]

someone please please please tell me what "i am legend" is about.

A geneticist creates a virus that wipes out the entire human race and leaves him as the last man alive. Then these albino vampire-mutants show up- remnants of the human race. Of course, they're out to kill the last man standing, and he's trying desperately to cure them (since it was his virus that created them in the first place.) They call him Legend, almost like a boogey man, a near invincible killer of mutants.

[Antonio_Bay]

The Chin is back...

http://www.dayofthedawn.com/bruce1.jpg

http://www.dayofthedawn.com/bruce2.jpg


Plot: revolves around Campbell, playing himself, who, after being harassed and mistaken by fans to be a character much like Ash from the Evil Dead series of horror films, is abducted from his trailer park home to fight against Guan Di, a Chinese war deity.

Groovy.

[Threadkiller]

Nice. Hope this doesn't cut into his stint on Burn Notice. He's the best reason among many to watch that show.

[Czaple]

Wow, what a cool plot. I was wondering when Bruce Campbell was going to run out of bubble gum.

[Antonio_Bay]

I know we've spoken of Starship Troopers 3 somewhere else, but I can't find where. Safest place to post this.

Here is the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_woGjV_q8fM&eurl=http://www.joblo.com/starship-troopers-3-trailer). I'm going to go ahead and say it looks quite watchable. At least better than the second one. Has that Vulcan (ha, my spell checker informed me to Capitalize the V - its in the dictionary now?) from Enterprise in it too.

[jedimaster_666]

I'm glad they've got Burton to do Alice, it's his kind of movie.
I have heard he wants to base the look of the movie on the American Mcgee video game.
I really hope it doesn't ruin it in the same way he did with Michael Jackson & The Chocolate Factory.
I am a bit dubious about Sarah Michelle Gellar being Alice the Playing Card Slayer.
I want creepy, dark & very gothic! thats what Burton does best!

[ads2k2]

Crap on a crap cracker! Starship troopers 3?!?!? I'll admit I was skeptical when I first read it. ST 2 was like a smack in the face with a steaming fresh bag of cow feces. But, after seeing the trailer, it looks like a return to that action movie that never takes itself seriously and ridicules the war machine. With a couple of returning characters I'll see it at least once. Maybe even buy a copy when it comes out for old times sake.

[Aaron]

I heard yesterday they're remaking Red Dawn.
I just came here to post a new thread entitled "JK is gonna kill some body"

Screenwriter Carl Ellsworth has been hired to rewrite MGM's Red Dawn, the ultimate homeland invasion story about a new generation of besieged high schoolers. Dan Bradley, a second unit director and/or stunt coordinator on The Bourne Ultimatum, Spider-Man 3 and the forthcoming Quantum of Solace, will move into the director's chair for the update. Contrafilm's Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson will produce. Ellsworth will be working from a story written by Jeremy Passmore. Vincent Newman (A Man Apart) is also acting in a producer capacity.
"The tone is going to be very intense, very much keeping in mind the post-9/11 world that we're in," says Ellsworth, "As 'Red Dawn' scared the heck out of people in 1984, we feel that the world is kind of already filled with a lot of paranoia and unease, so why not scare the hell out of people again?"

[Antonio_Bay]

And Robocop.


Seen this?

http://www.dayofthedawn.com/cop.jpg

[JK]

I just came here to post a new thread entitled "JK is gonna kill some body"

Jen moved my ammo- everyone is safe. Until I find it again.

Red Dawn was THE movie of my childhood. Me and my buddy Jason Holt ran around the countryside with strips of fabric tied around our heads, toy rifles in hand, shouting "WOLVERINES!" and 'shooting' everything in sight.

And RoboCop... NOBODY will be able to replicate what Paul Verhoeven did. And any attempt at imitation... RoboCop 3.


Some movies would benefit from a reboot- like Disney's The Black Hole, a better, truer vision of The Running Man. But Red Dawn and RoboCop? No.

No no no.

[Antonio_Bay]

I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

Just more proof that Hollywod couldn't have an original thought even if someone went out there and shoved it up their collective asses.

[jstevoj123]

A remake of Robocop !!! you have to be fucking joking !!

I just know they're going to fuck it up. If it ain't Paul Verhoeven and Peter Weller - it ain't Robocop!

[JK]

Next, they'll announce a remake of Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner... :rolleyes:

Originality is a rarity out there in Hollywad. If it exists at all.

[RobinHoodDaffy]

The problem it they put profitability before originality. Of course, the thing is truly original concepts will find their spot. I'm looking at you Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, The Crow, the first Matrix, and uh, you too Hellboy.

[Threadkiller]

Next, they'll announce a remake of Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner.


We can only hope they combine the two a la Alien v. Predator. Now there's a freakin' movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEeQpejFbYA&feature=related


I also love the movie Just Add Water. It relatively new but still a great film. Its one of those character study films where the main character has a moment of clarity and changes their life. This movie is no exception but takes it in another direction. Definitely one of the better films of the last few years.

Dude. You seem like a good kid, young, but harmless enough, so I'm going to point out a few things that might help you fit in around here.
Grammar, punctuation, and spelling are held at a premium around these parts. Put a little effort in to these things. It will not only improve your skills of communication as a whole, but also garner you some respect among the regulars.
Lurk around a bit; just to see how things work. You'll be more comfortable if you understand the etiquette, and the way our little corner of the "world" operates. We're a pretty tight bunch around here, but we're not against welcoming new folks into the fold, as long as they refrain from the douchebaggery and attempt to bring intelligent communication skills to the table.

You enjoying the book? It's one of my favorites. I'd love to see that one, The Long Walk and Rage all done into movies.

The Long Walk could definitely be done...Rage maybe not as it also deals with a main character doing something decidedly unPC in today's climate :)

[Brains]

What is this I hear about the Discworld films? I adore the Terry Pratchett books, I just need to get Making Money to fulfill my literary destiny.

The good boys at Cabin Fever have spoken ill of the movies. Are they that bad? I always thought they could make fantastic movies but I guess a large budget would be called for, and a brilliant director to get the timing juuuust right.

[Aaron]

They're not so much films as they were mini-series'.
They did Hogfather and The Colour Of Magic.
And as you said, timing is very important and the only real problems with the series was that I felt that the timing was quite off. Made it drag in a lot of good places.

But Shane Black directing another feature, that's something something to get excited about. Cold Warrior (http://www.cinematical.com/2008/09/23/shane-black-returns-as-a-cold-warrior/) sounds like the perfect follow-up to his awesome-as-all-fuck Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

An improvement if you ask me. I thought Howard was the weak link in Iron Man.

Cheadle is awesomesauce™. It's just a shame he wasn't in the first one, for continuity's sake.

[DarthMaulRat]

When I realized Howard was playing Rhody, I kinda pondered if I'd really buy him donning the War Machine gear in a later movie, but I didn't think he'd be completely wrong for the role. That said, Cheadle is one of those actors that automatically raises my interest in seeing a movie.

With that said, it's Oscar Lottery Time!

Seriously? Damn, why can't they let something be.

pirates 1 was good, I liked.
But 2 and 3 felt like two much was trying to be said in the two movies. There was too much going on.
I hope it flops, because that is what Disney deserve, they won't be happy till the squeeze as much as they can from it. Its not a saga, its becoming a joke.

But IS Pirates 4 as safe as what people think. Yeah, it'll make a fortune, but it might bomb his career. Maybe.

If it does, i'd love to laugh in Depps face. Actually, if I saw Depp I'd probably go all sad and girly and squeal like a piggy.


Not willingly though. :rolleyes:

I can't recall when (I think it was when he was filming Wonker) - but there were three young girls camped outside Pinewood Studios with a large; WE LOVER YOU JOHNNY! banner, hopping up and down at every car which left the studios. Their enthusiasm was so infectious I could have gone and joined them. I hope they caught a glimpse of him in the end.

[Casualties army]

I've heard that he can be quite an ass to his fans. He attends the Edinburgh Inernational Film Festival every other year, and he frequently speaks to the press and ignores his fans.

He is nice to his fans, when he needs too.

Given the opportunity, I would gladly take a film for huge pay checks. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't. Money is good. What's the use in making small films and starving? (Granted Depp wouldn't exactly be starving, as he's a millionaire, but you get my point.)

True!
I seem to have this image of him that he is a movie star who tried to be choosy with what films he does.
And I don't think that it helps that I have long since fallen out of love with the Pirates franchise.

Let's also take into account, they might just be fun to do. I've played characters that were just fun to do. If they paid me to revisit some of them, why the hell not? It might not be for the money, it might just be a party.

Probably.

I think the last two Pirates films, haven't gone down as well as Disney hoped, so they added an extra one.

Ok, my issue is definately with Disney and Pirates. I mean Pirates 4 and High School Musical 3, what the hell has happened to Disney?
Maybe its because I am getting older, but Disney used to be better.

[RobinHoodDaffy]

Disney goes through phases. One phase gave us Tron, then nothing for years. Now they seem to be in an emotionally bankrupt phase. Everything seems to be for the almighty dollar. I blame Eisner. Thank the fucking lord for Pixar, however. Everything Steve Jobs touches is magic. (he types on his Mac, charging his iPod......)

Nolan talks third Batman:
(http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2008/10/christopher-nol.html)
'Well ... let me think how to put this. There are two things to be said. One is the emphasis on story. What’s the story? Is there a story that’s going to keep me emotionally invested for the couple of years that it will take to make another one? That’s the overriding question. On a more superficial level, I have to ask the question: How many good third movies in a franchise can people name? [Laughs.] At the same time, in taking on the second one, we had the challenge of trying to make a great second movie, and there haven't been too many of those either. It’s all about the story really. If the story is there, everything is possible. I hope that was a suitably slippery answer.'

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Manson#Film_and_television) he's directing a film called Phantasmagoria: Visions of Lewis Carroll. In the film he'll play Lewis Carroll (author of Alice in Wonderland). Sounds like something Tim Burton should be directing...

I never felt that Xavier and Magneto were really enemies. I dunno, maybe I'm being ignorant, but Magneto's goal wasn't the destruction of Xavier, his goal was the preservation of mutants (and possibly world domination :) ) Charles just prevents it because he doesn't agree with Eric's ideals.

There is a large bearded man flying away from a tower that has no apparent access on a ginormous eagle and you question how he got his staff?

Am I the only one that thinks Star Trek is going to suck? Put aside the fact that some of the movies have been truly wretched (looking at you Undiscovered Country). But just look at who is making it ...

You've got a director who has one directorial credit to his name ... Mission Impossible 3. And his astounding writing credits include Gone Fishin', MI3, Armageddon , and Joy Ride.

Then you have the writing team, who along with Abrams wrote MI3, and by themselves wrote The Legend of Zorro, Transformers, and The Island (which was a complete ripoff of Parts: The Clonus Horror ... cunts).

Yeah yeah yeah they all worked on Alias and Abrams has Lost to his credit .... but that isn't exactly a strong pedigree. Am I alone in thinking this is going to bite a huge amount of cock? I hope not.

[Aaron]

A lot of waffle

Dude, say what you like about the flick, to suggest that Abrams is a rookie is just plain stupid

[Blast Thickneck]

I'm not saying he's a rookie, he's written and produced a ton of movies. Most of which sucked, I was just pointing out that the one directorial role he has had happened to be with the same writing team who wrote Star Trek, and is there a single person alive who thought MI3 was good, or even comprehensible?

His TV work has been stellar, but it hasn't translated to movies thus far. I am not confident at all. Just having a good brand doesn't mean it's idiot proof (see: Transformers, Crystal Skull, etc)


edit: though to his credit, at least it wasn't as bad as Woo's effort at the series.

[Blast Thickneck]

Well it's no Final Frontier as far as bad movies go, but man that movie is painful to watch in my opinion. I actually watched it again recently and couldn't get past the age and Kim Cattrall.


Maybe I'm wrong on MI3 (I seem to remember people hating that movie, but perhaps I'm misremembering), but I still just am not confident. At least it isn't Michael Bay, I guess.

edit: I'm really more worried about the writers than Abrams. He can make it look pretty, but a shitty script is a shitty script. Maybe I'm just bitter about the Clonus ripoff, that movie is groundbreaking, but I don't trust these guys to not shit on another successful brand.

Just saw The Spirit. I never read or even heard of the comic prior to this movie so I have no idea what it was about. The movie however, was pretty crappy. I liked the cinematography and certain scenes but not much more than that. The plot was pretty lame. Sam Jackson was the wrong choice. I like him as an actor but I hate how he keeps popping up in comic book movies. I did not enjoy his performance in the slightest. The conversations and fight scenes between him and the Spirit were dull and very corny. The ladies are gorgeous, especially the lovely Eva Mendez but the film just didn't feel like it had any real substance to it. Sin City is superior.

Interflesting. Although I recoiled in confused disgust at "brainy and thoughtful". Using brainy as an adjective just seems grammatically juvenile to me.

Boobies.

I think "interflesting" describes it well enough.

Are there any Shark movies besides Jaws, worth watching?

[JasterIsFett]

Uh...I can think of a few, but none that are worth watching.

Deep Blue Sea
Open Water
Megalodon

thats it...

Swimming With Sharks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XZJNubuivU) is a good one. :D

I just saw a trailer for...."Land of the Lost" with Will Farrell. Come on guys, that was a great show...really bad acting and really bad special effects and they are turning it into a Will Farrell comedy?

BULLSHIT!!!!!!

Deep Blue Sea - I saw it. It was interesting to watch once through.
Open Water - That was a fucked up movie.. What happened to that poor couple. I would have been terrified.
I haven't seen Megalodon but you say it ain't worth watching. Although there may come a time when I am bored enough to check it out.
Swimming With Sharks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XZJNubuivU) is a good one. :D
Hey I actually thought it was a Shark shark movie. Got kind of hyped up.
Just watch Shark Week on Discovery channel if that's your thing.
Indeed it is. I love watching shark week and have seen most of them for years now although I did miss last years.:( Ever since I got this new cable box however I can't watch it in HD. Strange because my TV is HD, my cable box is HD(has all the proper cables) and yet when I turn to HD channels I don't get the good stuff. I shall call the cable company at once and inquire why I have this issue.
