That is a pretty bland poster, alright. My wife surprised me with framed lobby poster from a 50th anniversary screening back in '96, and it's a thing of beauty.

Sadly, it's in storage at the moment, and I can't find a picture anywhere. So here's a better Bogart poster instead.

That's just too many people. I know shoving as many action stars into a movie is like the point of the series but man, but even if most of those people get know screen time it's still gonna be a clusterfuck of people screeching the movie to halt to explain why they're there just for the sake of them being there.

Ah well, it's not like anyone expects these things to be watchable or anything.

Doesn't help that half of the cast are a bunch of no-names. 99% of the time they wouldn't even rate a mention, except Stallone sells these movies on how many people he puts in them.

So what you're saying is that that there are so many characters that they're pretty much expendable?

So what you're saying is that it's kinda weird that 5'9" Stallone is somehow taller and beefier than all those other 6'3" dudes in the poster, right? If so, I agree. Also, I agree with that interesting thing you said about the variety of hats in the poster, and how Stallone looks like a penis with arms trying to smoke a cigar.

Here's the Japanese poster for Edge of Tomorrow. It's only interesting because it confirms something that I was wondering today, and that it is being released under the better title in Japan.



Also, the author of the original novel really likes the movie, so that's good. :3:

I still sort of doubt that.

I used to have so many video store movie posters from the 80s that I wallpapered my room as a teen with them. The small video store on the edge of Greenville, TX that gave them to me (Country Video, which apparently morphed into Country Video Lotto and Used Books before going out of business) had a lot to get rid of but they were mostly terrible. I didn't care because I was 17 and stupid so I had Frank Stallone vehicle Outlaw Force on my wall because I was going to cover all my walls even if I had to use the bad ones, like Police Academy 6. The best one I had was Hellraiser.

I'm loving Arnie's patchy beard and smile there. While most look like grinning idiots he's got this weird dad like smile.

Also Harrison Ford, Arnie and Kelsey Grammar? I might not have a choice in watching this :ohdear:

Have you actually seen the movies? If you did, you would know that the first two movies both have a bigger than average cast and the storyline didn't screech to a halt to introduce them all.

This movie gonna be good.

I literally fell asleep in the movie theater watching the first one. I should also note that this has pretty much never happened to me barring some extreme circumstances and I was pretty well rested going in. It was just so bland to the very core of it's being. Not a single interesting thing happening on screen from beginning to end and not a single aspect I could bring myself to care about. It was also badly directed and really ugly.

I dont' know why after watching the first one I watched the second, but it was somehow worse.

Desert Heat? I thought it was Dessert Heat. No wonder it tastes so bad.

I watched both Expendables. I remember something about a gunship in the first movie and I think the second movie had some sort of half competent opening scene. Everything else is a complete bland and uninteresting blur.

The expendables is the cinematic equivalent of a bunch of ex pro-footballers in their retirement years getting together and going for a kickabout down the park.....nothing but a bit of fun by former masters of their trade.

It's like that if they spent millions of dollars getting to the park then charged any onlookers the same as they did in their prime.

The first Expendables is trash, and Van Damme is the only watchable part of 2.

The Expendables series have been great theater movies. The whole audience completely lost it in the Terry Crews AA-12 scene and the airport sequence from the second one. I tried watching them at home and they were painfully boring.

The only thing I really remember about the first one is that it was peak "Hey, Mickey Rourke acting again is a cool story, let's bring him in and see if he can liven up this terrible monologue I wrote."

Edit:

quote:

You remember that time we was up in Bosnia? We took down them Serb bad boys? All our guys were gettin' chopped up all around us and there was blood everywhere. I never though I was gonna make it out of there and I know you didn't and you didn't either. Kinda feelin' like... dead too, ya know? My heads all very, very black place. Didn't believe in poo poo. Just goddamn Dracula black. I remember I got this bottle of this local poo poo they have over there. That Silvits... I think that's what it was called. And I ain't feelin' no pain now... and I come up on this, uh... I come up on this overland bridge, and I see this... I see this... I see this woman standing there, ya know? And she's, uh... I stepped out and she saw me, and she's just lookin' right... right in my eyes. And I was lookin' right in her eyes, and I knew what she was gonna do. She looked at me, and I knew she was gonna jump. You know what I did, man? I just turned around I kept walkin' until I heard that splash and she was gone. [crying] After... after taking all them lives, she was one that I could have saved, but I didn't, and uh... What I realized later on was, uh, if I'd have saved that woman, I might have... I might have saved what was left of my soul, ya know. puts pipe in mouth as Barney walks away
