During the Olympics this year when Gabby Douglas finished one of her rounds they cut to a commercial with monkeys and said something like "See? Even monkies can do it!"

This is nothing for NBC. After Gabby Douglas won her gold medal in gymnastics, NBC ran this ad:

New Stoker teaser, apologies if this has been posted. I really like this, the way the images cuts with the music at a high speed reminds me of that Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trailer from a few years back.

Honestly I was half expecting a "Air Force One but in the White House" with president Aaron Eckhart as the lone survivor, setting up traps around the White House and beating the North Koreans out of it. Then at the end President McCallister gets lost and ends in New York again.

Wow, they had to throw in "The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists!" and followed it up with an instant Die Hard rip-off/homage.

I'm amazed that Hollywood can pump out 5-6 of these a year and people still go to see them. I guess there's a constant supply of young people who haven't yet been inured to this kind of dumb poo poo yet.

White House Down is also being rushed...got moved up from an originally-scheduled November release date. This happened last year with both of the Snow White movies, and I don't think it was good for either.

The crazy thing about Olympus Has Fallen is that it was originally supposed to come out NEXT year. They're basically reverse GI Joe-ing it.

You and me both, pal. I hope this becomes a yearly thing like Paranormal Activity and Saw, where a different government facility gets taken over every 12 months and Gerard Butler has to rescue whomever is inside.

The Pentagon, the Washington Monument, the IRS, the CIA, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, Area 51, the possibilities are endless.

Hopefully Powers Boothe shows up in a couple of them, too.

True. Poor Morgan Freeman, always President in poo poo movies.


I know I won't be able to watch the Channing Tatum/Jamie Foxx one without picturing Foxx's character as a descendant of Django now.

Also like Deep Impact - it's coming out first, has a lower budget, and will likely gross less than White House Down.

I hear that Red Dawn's antagonists were turned from Chinese to Korean because of Chinese investors. Wouldn't be surprised if a similar thing happened here.

Oh definitely, the same thing happened with a video game called Homefront (details) which was written by the guy who wrote the original Red Dawn.

I do wonder why Koreans are the target of choice. Oh well.

That's kind of it - they're so walled off from the West as to be a safe target. China, though, is becoming an extremely lucrative market, and no studio wants to piss off the government there.
