BonoMan posted:Is Sigourney Weaver photoshopped into that photo? She looks to be standing behind Turturro but in front of his robe. I can't tell if it's someone else's robe bend him that just blends in well. Haaha ,holy poo poo, I was so distracted being amused in how she is the whitest person there,to the grade that it looks as she is dressed for a Halloween party, that I didn't notice that detail.

This feels to me like one of those trailers HBO does for like their monthly schedule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCTdUC-LxYk Not impressed, and also is Bale doing an American accent? I mean I guess he might as well. I always get irritated at movies set in antiquity where everyone speaks in received pronunciation for some reason.

It's really sad that he seems to be going for such an overt throwback to Hollywood epic ensemble films, rather than going the Aronofsky route and just plumbing ancient mythology for ideas. I would love to see a version of Genesis that included Lylith, and Eve 1. You know, Eve 1, the new woman God is making for Adam when Adam accidentally sees her basically unfinished and becoming so traumatized he can't have sex with her. Necessitating God destroy Eve 1 and make Eve 2, the Eve we all know and hate. I would also like to finally see a proper cinematic adaptation of either the Táin Bó Cúailnge. Or a new crack at the Nibelungenlied

Any of y'all pining for an actually good movie about Ancient Egypt should check out Faraon. Also whitewashed but since it's Poland in the '60s you gotta figure they didn't have too deep a bench. Amazing visuals, never shies away from the weirdness of that culture, down to totally inscrutable hair. Here's a pretty bad trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-lPTkkpiTw

Jay Dub posted:Four if you count his Jesus-as-a-kaiju film called Helena Handbag, which will never actually get made, no matter how much he talks about it. Also within the last couple days he's announced he's working on a new project "Moose Jaws". His career has taken a turn for the very strange, but I guess you can't say he's lazy.

K. Waste posted:Also, he had Jew horns: I can't tell from your post if you know this but the Moses horns wasn't due to Europe's anti-semitism, it's due to a bad translation. Apparently they took rays of light coming from his head to mean horns and didn't correct this for a long time so statues and paintings in the renaissance showed him with horns. At least that's what more than one Art History professor taught me.

Apparently they took rays of light coming from his head to mean horns and didn't correct this for a long time so statues and paintings in the renaissance showed him with horns. At least that's what more than one Art History professor taught me. Yeah, I had actually tried to link an image of a statue of a horned Moses, but it didn't work.    But, yeah, basically, like a lot of history, the story of horned Moses basically comes down to a mistranslation. But you'll noticed that there really is an overt attempt to characterize Moses as 'subhuman' in ways beyond being horned. It was actually a very conventional belief in those days - in part due to the mistranslation - that present day peoples were actually the descendents of basically a more monster-like being. The Greeks and Romans had their belief in the Golden Age of giant men, and there's even the potential influence of apocryphal or non-canonical Biblical literature, which are more consistent with similar pagan mythology in this regard, and where significant figures do in fact sometimes appear with horns.

The posters for The Expendables 2 looked a lot more appealing to the eye. The posters for 3 looks like something someone slapped together in 30 seconds.

I think that most recent Expendables 3 poster does a good job of making it seem like a lot of stars just by there not being a lot of horizontal space.
