I got this several years ago before Tron: Legacy was released. (There was a link in the Tron thread in this forum to the site selling them).

Picked up a decent frame for it and to this day it hangs in my office at work. I'm partial to Tron because it's the first ever movie I saw in theaters. I'm also a total mark for those minimalist posters.

I'd see that movie if all that poo poo was happening on the same corner at the same time.

Poor Walter looks like he's in the beginning throes of a major stroke on that DVD cover.

Of course it is. 90% of film studios employ waterheads to design their DVD covers nowadays.

What was so wrong with the original poster that they changed it? That was an iconic image.

Not enough lens flare, apparently.

Moonwalker was incredible for all the wrong reasons. Namely Joe Pesci as someone who dealt drugs to children, and MJ turning into Starscream.

What the gently caress was "Moonwalker" anyway?

It was a movie/musical featuring a bunch of Michael Jackson videos based around a loose plot about drug dealers and corruption and homeless kids.

The videogame was much better than the movie.

No matter how weird the rest of the movie is, it's all worth it because the movie version of Smooth Criminal is the best music video ever made, hands down.

Definitely.

I'm partial to this recreation of it, performed by a frat/sorority group at MIT several years ago:

Roland Kickinger is the guy who was the body double for Arnold in T4.

It's not surprising to see his career hasn't taken off.

You're not kidding, that looks like a drat video game ad.

I want to be hopeful about the Total Recall remake but I can't see the guys who gave us Salt and Underworld making anything special. Even if it does have Cranston as Cohaagen and Nighy as Kuato.

To my knowledge, the remake doesn't even feature Mars, which would be like Titanic having no Titanic in it. I believe that Philip K. Dick's short story didn't feature Mars in it, either, but c'mon....what's Total Recall without "GETCHA AHHHS TO MAAHHHHS"?

Brittany Murphy died so she'd never have to look at that poster ever again.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

The whole scenario is one of many being carried out all over the world, controlled by a group who are attempting to appease ancient gods with a sacrifice of young people. They control the kids with pheromones, genetically engineered monsters and a force field that keeps them from escaping. All the other scenarios fail early on in the movie and so this is the organizations last shot, unfortunately two of kids survive until sunrise and the ancient gods awaken and destroy the world.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

I cannot stress hard enough how badly I wish to see this movie, now.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:

Pfft, that old chestnut?

Seriously though, is anyone like me in that they don't care about spoilers? You can tell me every little detail of a movie and it doesn't alter my enjoyment of a film. For me it's about the whole experience, and knowing that the butler did it is only one small factor in my movie watching. If anything I like read spoilers before I see a movie because then it gets me even more excited to watch it.

I enjoy spoilers. The more, the merrier. I agree that it doesn't ruin anything, because seriously, how many movies nowadays have giant unpredictable swerves in the same vein as "Luke, I am your father!" or "Bruce Willis was dead the whole time!"?

If tht is indeed how the movie ends, i'll never be able to say anything bad about Joss Whedon ever again. EVER AGAIN.

SIGOURNEY WEAVER OUT OF NOWHERE in Cabin in the Woods!!! Ahhhh!

Yeah, all the posters for this movie definitely don't do the movie justice. One of the most fun horror/thriller films i've seen in quite some time. You're doing yourselves a disservice if you don't check it out. Definitely go see it with friends, too. It's best experienced in a crowded theater.

If I remember correctly, that movie was pushed back and re-edited to take out several scenes involving a bomb on a plane.

Apparently the first movie was called "Love In A Puff", and this is the sequel, "Love In The Buff".

Just seems like some engrish ad wizard accidentally put "butt" instead.
