Somehow you missed the fact the bike has no brakes either.

There are bikes with no brakes, you know. Fixed gear bikes with no brakes are actually fairly popular among a lot of hipsters. And he specifically points out in the trailer that he rides the no brakes bike with no safety gear cause he likes the...RUSH that he gets from the danger.

I think Premium Rush looks good, although that poster definitely does not :colbert:

I think both of those posters pretty much sum up the insanity/stupidity of the RE movies, really.

I haven't seen a Resident Evil movie since the second one(maybe some of the third) but the Retribution trailer looks kind of interesting. Oded Fehr, Michelle Rodriguez and Colin Salmon being in it again is kind of cool

But basically what you said: It's a watch on TV kinda movie, or catch it when a friend's watching it.

This poster pretty much sums up everything I would want in a RE movie.

Also back breaks (ie having to pedal backwards to break) seems to be a thing with kids these days and there skinny bikes. Ditto for fixed gear. Both these things have some drawbacks though (ie try slowing down when going downhill when the natural motion of your bike is propelling you to pedal faster and preventing you from breaking).

Those posters made me look up the trailer for it and what the gently caress. The best part is picking up on the poo poo they completely lift from the games and throw in their movies. So at least someone in the production is still playing them.

That reminds me of a couple of other bug movies from my childhood:

"Bug" with the underrated Bradford Dillman and a legion of fire-starting roaches:



The creepy "Phase IV" featuring ants up the wazoo and some very old-fashioned tech:



And the only movie where you can see Paul Winfield consumed by a ravaging horde of cockroaches, or maybe a blanket with shreds of paper on it, "Damnation Alley":



I swear to you that special effects in the '70s were not always this bad:

This. I own all 4 of them on blu ray, and other than the first which has not aged well at all and is just boring, they are all loving fantastic B horror/action movies. And the 4th one is what happens when you give a B movie an A budget for some reason, it's the best.

The 1st Resident Evil isn't very good but it's one of the best videogame movies out there for sure. The 2nd resident evil movie is not good. There is nothing good about it. It's bad and it's boring. 3 was silly and really forgettable... but I've heard, strangely enough, good things about 4 because it was at least a lot of fun. I think I'll have to check it out now

The same thing happened to Stan Winston. He thought Monster Squad would be the bigger hit, so he devoted most of his prime-time special effects team to that project. You know what the B-team worked on? Predator.

The new 3-minute trailer for the latest TF2 update was better than all of the trailers I saw in the theaters before watching Total Recall yesterday. It's almost kind of sad.
