I started cackling when I saw that part. I've seen interviews with Pfister before and he gave the impression of being an intelligent guy, cites seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey at release as a formative experience, so this wasn't what I was expecting.

Is it just me or does Transcendence give off a Lawnmower Man vibe? I swear Job does the exact same thing...

achillesforever6 posted:I wouldn't be surprised if there are a bunch of Michael Crichton screenplays/ideas lying around that a studio picked up to make a movie, though to be fair its a relatively good premise of science gone wrong and hopefully it will be like good Crichton and not like bad old dying Crichton. I'm pretty sure there aren't a lot of unproduced ideas from Crichton considering they were only able to put out one posthumous book and that one was apparently a stretch to get done and still have his name on it.

Stephen Chow's new movie, Journey to the West, which has already made over $200 million in China, is getting a North American release. Why have I not heard of this film until now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmKrgPr7PA8

Yall are putting way much thought into it, I'm sure. It just means he's a computer now, as opposed to a human. Because computers are leet.

Lawnmower Man the story doesn't have a magical retard in it anyway, it's about a dude who hires a lawnmower and when the lawnmower man shows up he starts chowin down on the grass, his stomach bulging and poo poo, and the dude flips out and fires the lawnmower man so he gets chowed down on as well. The end.

I had no idea how different they meant.

Lawnmower Man is unfortunately a registered trademark now but I seriously don't understand why some studio hasn't just taken four or five of the "Dollar Babies" and made a King short story anthology movie.

redcheval posted:I think that's actually pretty rare from what I've heard? I'm not actually 100% sure, but I think a lot of the time it's outside marketing companies or departments mostly separate from the people who actually made the movie. And they don't provide them with a script or even just a bare bone description of what they want covered? Surely they can veto them spoiling twists they want kept secret, after all, they hired them. Given the importance of marketing I find this mindboggling.

Shamalayn wanted the kid's seeing of dead people in The Sixth Sense to be a twist, but advertisers went and used that as the main marketing hook to get people into the seats. Similarly, Cameron wanted Schwarzenegger's status as the good guy in Terminator 2 to be a surprise. Meanwhile the trailers gave away that and the T-1000 reveal.

Surely they can veto them spoiling twists they want kept secret, after all, they hired them. The thing is, marketing cares about selling tickets and getting asses in seats. This is why you've seen tons of trailers that dump all the best jokes in, or spoil the big twist in the movie, or make Movie X seem like a comedy when it's really a drama etc. I remember going to see Observe and Report under the impression it was your typical Seth Rogen comedy. WHOOPS. Long story short, trailers aren't really ever 'oh we need to summarize the film to show audiences what they're getting into', it's 'how can we get the most people paying dollars to see this?'

T2 kind of ruins the twist itself once it starts playing "Bad to the Bone".

I found this on Youtube and don't know if it's been posted here but I haven't seen it put here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF6l4LAmN8A The Machine The effects look kick rear end. Apparently directed by Toby Stephens. Here is a weird Wikipedia page for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_%28film%29 Which is about Adam Shankman, I dunno why that is.

I've posted about this in the past but I recall on opening night that there were quite a few gasps in the theatre when Arnie jumps to protect John in the mall. A friend of mine who saw it with me had no idea that Arnie was going to be the good guy so some people were suprised, just not many. We saw the 7pm show and lined up for hours to see it, to say we were blown away is an understatement, that movie was just so ahead of it's time.
