Then the 3D don't really enter into it, do it.
Anyway, the 3D should work really well at the lavish Gatsby parties, making everything pop a little more. Given the subject material, I'm not sure how you can be opposed to that regardless of director.

I wouldn't have wanted to see a movie based on F. Scott Fitzgerald no matter who the director was, but I'm entirely content to accept that it exists. Baz Luhrmann, on the other hand, is perhaps the most pretentious twat in the history of cinema and it saddens me to see the movie world salivating on his cock whenever he releases yet another identikit colour-saturated wankfest. You are, of course, free to have your own opinion on this, but speaking personally I hate him.

Particularly the old not being able to understand Bane nonsense, which makes me think he either hasn't actually seen the trailers or has some sort of ear infection.

He was incomprehensible in the first few teasers and clips. If you've not been to the cinema in a few weeks you could be forgiven for that one. And let's face it, someone who hasn't seen Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Warrior or Inception has not been to the cinema enough.

It means everything about Twilight is loving terrible and we should really stop talking about it before some poor unfortunate goon decides he will go see the movie "just to see if it's as stupid bad as it looks and so I can laugh at it :drac:" and we are forced to care for the drooling shattered ruin of a man that returns for the rest of our lives.

I used to joke about Twilight, asking what series of books could be so popular that even its lovely fanfic was being published and turned into movies - implying that Twilight was the lovely fanfic, of course. Now there is Fifty Shades of Grey, and it's not a joke any more. :smithicide:

According to the man himself, Larson had an idea of a dog, having finally caught a car, howling in triumph atop it's flipped corpse. Next, in an attempt to be a proper cartoonist, he researched what the underside of a car looks like and drew in a gear-box, bulging out underneath the dog. Then it was published, and he found out he drew a dog loving a car.

There was a similar cartoon in MAD many years ago where a couple in a car are being chased by a dog. One of the two wonders what the dog would do if it caught the car, and the other says "Well, why don't you stop and find out?" Move to next panel: "Well, now we know. I guess we'd better find a car wash."

Occasionally it's due to SAG regulations. I'd imagine there are obscure actors with SAG credits who already have those names sans middle names.

Often more obscure than the actors who follow them, too. Maurice Mickelwhite discovered that to his dismay, and changed his name entirely to use part of his surname and the title of his favourite movie. Still, "Michael Caine" sounds better.

What are you talking about? This is the first Dredd movie. There was some talk of Stallone doing one in the mid-90s, but thankfully it never happened.

Everyone needs to be pumped for Dredd. Alex Garland has said that if it's successful enough they're going to follow up with The Cursed Earth and The Dark Judges, and that just has to be done. (Spoiler is for grexnixes non-2000AD readers.)

Last Crusade blows. It takes all the edgy darkness out of the franchise, and is instead replaced with PG hijinks.

It's just Spielberg pussing out after Temple of Doom (The best Indy movie) was deemed "too dark."

Instead of melting faces and hearts being ripped out, we get a tongue in cheek Hitler joke.

Ah, but that was no ordinary Hitler. It was Michael Sheard, and he was the best of men. Everything that has Michael Sheard in it is better than anything comparable that does not, solely because he was in it.

Seriously: it's beautifully directed, but you can simulate watching the movie by staring at the (real) poster for 90 minutes. Goons like it because a guy gets his head stomped into paste, and because that guy from Breaking Bad is in it.
