Lizard Combatant posted:A contemporary Frankenstein could be great, but this poo poo looks la-zy. It's from the producers of the Underworld movies, so that should give you an idea of what to expect. It's also been delayed twice and is now scheduled for almost a year after its original date, which is never a good sign.

Red Bones posted:I love how the monster looks in that new Frankenstein film. I can just imagine Doctor Frankenstein's reaction when he realised he hadn't created human life, he'd created a kind of generically handsome leading man with a bunch of scars on his face and a butt chin. Oh, the horror! What folly to dabble in God's work! Hah! Exactly.

Yeah, if they took out the dark elements it would have been a boring movie and if they took out the light hearted moments it wouldn't really have any charm. I'd like to think that Multiplicty is like Groundhog Day without the dark. It also suffered from Andie MacDowell.

Stare-Out posted:But it does have Michael Keaton doing four pretty awesome performances so it very nearly balances out. Like I've mentioned before, Michael Keaton is amazing in pretty much everything he does. I really wish Tim Burton would stop doing terrible movies, call up Keaton and do Beetlejuice 2 because you know Keaton could do it easy. *checks IMDB* *sees there's a Beetlejuice 2 in pre-production* *pees myself*

I'm genuinely happy Keaton's starting to get back into high(er) profile productions like Robocop and that weird Birdman movie. I know Keaton is game for Beetlejuice 2, but has he been confirmed for it yet? IMDb being what it is after all.

Keaton is in negotiations, Burton said he's waiting to see a script first before he decides to direct or not.

Can't wait for Beetlejuice 2 starring wacky ol' Johnny Depp as Beetlejuice and Winona Ryder but this time...she's a mother!! Can she prevent her teenage twins (played by Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez) from falling prey to Beetlejuice's twisted influences? Can they learn to work together to stop an evil real estate developer from buying up their house to turn it into a strip mall?? e: also starring Helena Bonham Carter as Beetlejuice's dead girlfriend

It would be nice to get Burton back but it's not a must, even though I haven't really *hated* anything he's done lately.

I'm sure Carter works for cheap when she's working with her husband and all but holy poo poo does she need a break from doing movies with him and Depp. Charlie/Alice/Sweeney/Shadows and hell even Lone Ranger which wasn't Burton but had Depp and her in it. Keep those three away from each other for a while Hollywood, I beg you. Also if they need a new Lydia kind of actress I suggest Mia Wasikowska.

Justin Bieber was the worst part of Alice in Wonderland. Also, a couple of posters. The Comic-Con teaser for the upcoming Lego movie  and another Machete Kills poster.

achillesforever6 posted:I like how it also finds itself on the top "Spiritual films of all time" lists due to its theme of trying to make yourself a better person. The best dating advice movie of all time. It's about developing yourself and/or loving yourself before someone else can love you. If you make yourself into a better person the women will come to you. No pickup lines, no empty romantic gestures, no tricks, no mindgames, no saving her or saving the world, and still you can have women bidding and competing with each other for your affections.

I will only support a Beetlejuice 2 if they stay with the Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian concept.  EDIT: And, through the wonders of CGI and body doubles, resurrect Glenn Shadix. caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jul 17, 2013 |

The movie has to start with Beetlejuice, his suit in tatters and covered in stains, various parts of him propped up on other seats, an inexplicable cowboy hat on his head, sitting in the waiting room playing solitaire with a third of a pack of cards, when his number finally gets called. Boom. Title credits.

I like to imagine that Michael Keaton dresses up like Beetlejuice once in a while just to see if he can still do it. Same goes to dressing like Batman or trying to run prostitution in random morgues with The Fonz.

The whole stop motion style really makes it work, I was thinking they'd do the bendy thing but I'm glad they didn't, the stop motion just makes it look like the whole thing is some kid playing with his lego which is by far the best way to handle it. VVVVV I think it's truer to the whole kid playing with all his lego sets style, honestly. They've been doing IP tie-ins for years so the hypothetical child would have a bunch of different IP stuff that they just mash together however they want to. It'd be weirder if they didn't have them given how much IP stuff lego seems to put out. It reminds me of the scene where Andy's playing with his toys at the start of toy story 3.

I am inordinately upset that, rather than encouraging creativity and being set in an entirely unique world made of legos, the Lego movie seems to an unending parade of IPs that have Lego kits made out of them. So it's just one giant toy commercial and series of plugs; be sure to buy thew new Lego Batman kits, in stores holiday season 2013! And the new Justice League Lego kits!

IP licenses have kept Lego in business (they nearly went under) since '99. Welcome to the entertainment industry. Would you like a Subway with your iHop? (whatever the gently caress, that is) Anyway, this looks like it'll be primarily non IP stuff with some cameos thrown in, cause people like Batman. e: Hahaha, holy poo poo I only just got the irony of complaining that IP licenses make the LEGO MOVIE a giant toy advertisement.
