Box offices can be really snobby and wont sell you a ticket unless you get the pronunciation exactly correct.

Until this morning, I thought it was pronounced "Mal-Efficient." Like she wasn't very good at being an evil witch.

I hope the movie is a thriller where Noah spends all his time desperately trying to stop the lions and tigers and wolves from eating him and all the other animals.Madkal posted:Anyone know if the movie has dinosaurs in it? I really hope it has dinosaurs in it. Don't be silly, everyone know dinosaurs didn't make it onto the ark because they were lazy or sinful or something.

Is that the movie where Noah goes crazy and kills all the people on the ark? Or is there another Noah movie out recently?

Wikipedia has this listed as the "tagline": quote:Rediscover the epic story of one man and the most remarkable event in our history. Yes, because the story of Noah is an historical event. Absolutely. I get the feeling the marketing for this movie in general is going to be highly misleading.

How much you wanna bet that it's gonna be another one of those "de-mythologized" myth movies? If nothing else, it'll be one hell of a thing to see how they explain Noah building the Ark and filling it with specimens of every species on earth (and indeed, the entire earth getting flooded in the first place) without divine influence being involved.

If Russell Crowe as Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky, doesn't at least sound intriguing, then I don't know what to tell you.

Having seen some of Noah already I can tell you all that it's amazing, and it really does have Noah decide that humanity isn't worthy of being saved so he goes on a killing spree to wipe us out.

muscles like this? posted:Nope, according to all reports its totally balls crazyz. This. Not only are all the animals CGI (there meant to be less evolved versions of modern animals) but it actually does the complete of demystifying the story. It is God that orders him to build the ark and he's very angry when Noah does so only to decide we aren't worth saving. It's very, very good. I have no idea if it's going to survive the backlash against it and make it to the cinema's in the version I saw though.

They weren't finished when I saw it in February of this year, half of the graphics where still pre visuals, but yeah, full on loving crazy angels. Like, head of a lion, thousand eyes, etc. I saw it at a film festival I was working on a documentary for, and the religious outreach group their did a screening of it. No disclaimers signed or anything. All they asked was that we turn off the cameras.

This sounds amazing, via Wikipedia: Subject to divine visions foretelling the end of the world, Noah attempts to tell his people to cease their mistreatment of the Earth in order to be saved. No one listens to his warnings, and Noah and his family are cast out to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Noah approaches a race of giant six-armed angels known as the "Watchers" to rally them to his cause. and the reaction from the religious folk: When Christian screenwriter Brian Godawa acquired a copy of the script in October 2012, he posted an evaluation on his website with the title "Darren Aronofsky's Noah: Environmentalist Wacko," predicting that the film "will be rejected by millions of devoted Bible readers worldwide because once again it subverts their own sacred narrative with a political agenda of pagan earth religion that is offensive to their Faith." Producer Scott Franklin told Entertainment Weekly, "Noah is a very short section of the Bible with a lot of gaps, so we definitely had to take some creative expression in it. But I think we stayed very true to the story and didn't really deviate from the Bible, despite the six-armed angels." When you tell people something's going to be good despite the thousand-eyed, lion-headed six-armed angels of doom, I'll be there opening day.

Yep, sounds goddamn fantastic. I really hope they don't butcher it in order to appease Christians. I'd much rather have an incredibly misleading ad campaign than a compromised vision. Aronofsky has never disappointed me, but I can understand this is probably one of his most controversial works.

Almost everything Aronofsky directs ranges from "interesting" to "reeeeeally loving intriguing", so it'll definitely be worth a watch even if it isn't one of his best.
