Prognosis Negative is apparently based on an actual screenplay that Larry David wrote, “...is about a single guy who is unable to commit to a relationship. He finds out an ex-girlfriend has six months to live and decides it's perfect...he can commit without worrying about the long term consequences.”

edit: I bet the whole reason they did it with modern actors and directors and poster design is because they were lazy. They didn't want to go back, find when the episodes mentioning each movie first aired, figure out which actors and directors would be appropriate to make that kind of movie at that point in time, look at posters for films from the same genre that came out that year, they didn't want to put in the effort to do it right, so they changed the time period, invalidating the whole concept, and slapped some poo poo together that didn't involve much thought or research. It's bullshit, the people who did it should not be praised for it.

Just tell yourself these are the remakes of the films from the show. There. Done.

Saving Mr. Banks has Tom Hanks as Walt Disney (the poster for the film was predictably bashed just a few pages back) but it's not a straight bio-pic of Disney, it's the specific story of how he convinced P.L. Travers to let him make Mary Poppins. I have a feeling the real life unhappy ending to the story (Travers was furious with the final film, refused to let him or anyone else make another movie) will be glossed over.

Also: It's been heavily hinted that Brad Bird's Tomorrowland will feature Walt in some capacity, but it might just be stock footage.

It's like the Uwe Boll documentary. The guy is the perfect subject and it could have been a great doc if it hadn't been produced by the same production company that produced the majority of his north american films. How do you deal with touchy subjects when the guy has been paying your bills for the last 10 years?

In my mind, she recovers from her illness, he finds some way to break up with her, and then she gets hit by a truck.

gently caress, I want a movie on Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and the creation of Superman or William Marston and Wonder Woman, but I doubt either of those will be made because the former puts the current rights holders in a very negative light and the latter would add a layer onto a popular icon that makes the current rights holders very uncomfortable.

Judging by the trailer it won't be glossed over - she's the villain.

At 30 seconds in there is a completely bizarre CG shot of a car that looks like something from Microsoft Movie Maker.

Also it seems to misrepresenting Travers as some kind of toffee-nosed tightshirt when she was actually a flamboyant zen bisexual.

Errr it looks like the car they drove at the airport. If anything it's the background likely being a matte shot of 1960's California. I guess heavy processing effects do tend to throw an odd cast onto things.

Well, I know the film derives most of it's plot and tension from the fact that she was reluctant, but I can't see the movie ending with her telling Walt to basically gently caress himself when he's a dick to her about her unhappiness with the movie.

That said, I am kind of looking forward to the movie. I like that it acknowledges my favorite aspect of Mary Poppins (that Mr. Banks is the one who needs help, not the children) and I think the cast is spectacular and all look wonderful in their roles, even if Hanks doesn't resemble Disney even for a second.

Hanks doesn't resemble Disney physically but he does the TV spot where Disney starts flying perfectly. It's always better to find a person who can act like the person you want than look like the person you want. I have very serious doubts that Ashton Kutcher, despite looking like Steve Jobs with the hair and makeup, will be acting anything like him. Hanks is so good at acting like the people he needs to be, Chris Rock said he was one of the funniest comedians he has ever seen when Hanks was preparing for his role in Punchline as a stand up.

I'm a big fan of the original, but really feel that Troma has jumped the shark. Since around "Tromeo and Juliet" they've moved away from the "low budget but endearing" film to "over the top stupid and gross" style films. I'll watch it, because I watch pretty much every "major" Troma film, but I have low expectations.
