Madkal posted:Movies with built in fanbases (ie every superhero movie) as well as stuff like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings where there was an existing fanbase before the (new) movies were released. Anyone who was a fan of any of those before they released was stupid. Sure, you might get something awesome like LOTR, but for every LOTR there's something that turns out like Batman & Robin. Being a fan of the franchise the movie is based on is fine, but being a fan of the movie itself before it releases is a dumb thing to do.

On the down side, it could encourage George Lucas to make more movies. It's like AVP again, no matter who wins, we lose. E: I just realized that tag line makes no sense for the movie it was in, as the Predators were obviously the good guys.

Madkal posted:The vibe I get from those Expecting posters is that the film makers are trying to make a raunchy "chick-flick" with posters aimed at getting males to see the films (ie the quotes about racks and being horny). It seem's a bit like pandering but not any more than other posters. I just hope it isn't raunchy for raunchy sake (pretty much saying Bridesmaids made a poo poo ton of money so lets do that again). All the Sin City posters were pretty great. I have the one that's all red, with Marv walking with his back towards the viewer, that says "Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything...anything" in the same boxes that one has. It was slick looking.

NINbuntu 64 posted:It's been nearly 8 years since Kill Bill Volume 2 came out. I don't think The Whole Bloody Affair is happening. About 4 years ago, Amazon.com had a page up for The Whole Bloody Affair on DVD. They even had a picture of the cover, and a release date. You could pre-order it. Then that day came and went, and...nothing. No announcement of cancellation, no announcement of it getting pushed back, no explanation as to why it was ever put up in the first place if it was the DVD equivalent to vaporware, nothing. I'm still mad about it.

Shouldn't Kill Bill 3 be what Tarantino does after Django Unchained? It's been about the amount of time he said he wanted to let pass in between doing it. Maybe when that happens we'll see the Whole Bloody Affair release?

kiimo posted:Here's what it is, when you stop making profitable and quality sequels you reboot. That's the new blueprint. X-Men hasn't had a reboot. First Class contradicts a couple of things from the other films, but it's pretty obvious it's meant to be in the same series, right down to Jackman as Wolverine and Stamos as Mystique. And they're talking about doing X-Men 4, which will hopefully ignore X3.

Supposedly they're considering making a TV series or miniseries or something out of it, rather than another movie. The rumor is TV Series on FOX, and the idea sounds loving awful.

If it was a picture of the Necronomicon in the same style, I'd probably like it. The color is what does it for me. It should have been black with a red or white tape recorder. That alone would have made it much more passable. And the recorder is too thick too.

HoldYourFire posted:Yes, "Not all supers are heroes" would make more sense to me. Even that doesn't really make sense though, because everyone knows super villains are a thing. If the movie was about a guy with no powers having to fight a super villain, then the "Not all heroes are super" thing would make sense. There is no way to make a turn of phrase with those words that fits this movie though. "Some people with super powers are heroes and some are not!" is pretty much the closest you can get, but it's still super dumb and obvious.

Rogue1-and-a-half posted:Okay, so I thought the first trailer looked great and I didn't have the problem with the whole "dude goes evil" thing that Rageaholic Monkey had. I also don't really have a problem with that tagline. But, man, that poster looks utterly stupid. The kid is . . . what exactly? Flipping the sky the bird? Man, that's really hardcore and poo poo! What a badass! Secondly, that is about the lamest "intense face" I've ever seen. Thirdly, that cloud doesn't even make sense with his hand! The cloud's thumb is on the wrong side, isn't it? Whose hand is the cloud mimicking if it's not mimicking his? How hard would that have been to get right? I loved that first trailer, but this one stupid-rear end poster has just squandered every bit of good will I had from the trailer. E: Me no read good.

cloudchamber posted:Are you being sarcastic? I think it's one of the most downright sexist posters I've ever seen. How so? Maybe if it's there gratuitously, but if the man is a womanizer and that's what the movie is about, it's pretty fitting. Hell, even if he's not, how is showing two people possibly having sex sexist? I think the ones where it's a random shot of a girls legs and rear end in the foreground despite what the movie is actually about are the sexist ones.

Rare Collectable posted:Perhaps because its depicting women as holes/legs for men to emotionlessly use? The way the man is staring into the camera doesn't make it look like he's very engaged with the woman he's "loving". I never said "loving." And yeah, he's not engaged, but the woman seems to be, with her legs tossed into the air like that. Maybe he's the one being used here, as he doesn't seem to be getting any enjoyment out of the whole affair. More likely, i think that the movie is probably about some rear end in a top hat who does think exactly what you said there, and that's why the poster is fitting.

Are we still on Crow chat? Because I will defend Wicked Prayer as being the funniest movie I saw the entire year it came out until the death. It has David Boreanaz in a post-Angel/pre-Bones career slump, and he just had no fucks to give, at all. He over acts in every single scene he's in, chewing scenery on the same level as Nic Cage at times. He screams "hurry up and make me the loving anti-christ!" at the top of his lungs at one point. And it has Dennis Hopper as a satanic priest who talks exclusively in 70's jive.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:His early stuff was quite good, but yeah, by the time Vicious Circle happened he seemed to think every syllable out of his mouth was pure gold, no matter how stupid and rambling. Now that I've said that, rambling really seems to be what made Vicious Circle so bad. Each little story he tells was quick, concise, and funny in his early stuff, but later on every one of his stories or jokes gets stretched out to 15 minutes and just goes on long past when it stopped being interesting. I had a friend who I think summed it up best when he said something along these lines: There are comedians like Bill Cosby who can go out on a stage and just make poo poo up, and they'll be funny. They can go out there with no real game plan, just a vague idea of what they're going to talk about, and it will usually be loving hilarious. Dane Cook is not Bill Cosby. His earlier works, like his Comedy Central Presents special and his first couple of albums were alright, but Vicious Circle was pretty much the moment he decided that he could just start talking about whatever and people would still eat it up. That coupled with the joke stealing accusations, over exposure, and his awful frat boy fanbase are what made people turn on him.

At least the DVD has the top one as it's art, despite being a loving god awful snap case. And no, there was no scene like that in that movie, but the devil's entire plan was to get Keanu Reeves, who was secretly his son or something, to gently caress this other chick, who was his daughter, and also Keanu's sister, so that she could give birth to the antichrist.
