I've a special love for trailers that are far better than the movie they advertize. I still love the second trailer released for Clash of the Titans (the remake), even though the movie is boring. But if there's one practice I hate, it's when a trailer shows shots from the final scene of a movie, or sometimes the actual final shot, like Quarantine and The Grey. You see the trailer, you watch the movie, and nearly at the end you realize "poo poo, I already saw this." I went looking for a version of the trailer for the fundamentally stupid movie 10,000 BC which has about 10,000 words fly at the viewer in rapid succession, and realized that every trailer for that movie contains the scene where the bad guy has just been killed (the hero screams "he is not a god!").

That is insane. Granted, that might be the point, but jesus. Then those actor names popping up near the end is like a bunch of mangled bodies floating to the surface.

This is some Terence Malick level poo poo. I mean that in an incredibly positive way. Was not interested in this movie at all beforehand, but this pair of trailers is loving brilliant.

3D re-releasing seems like such a sad cash grab, but I will not miss Jurassic Park in theaters again. I remember being so completely, thoroughly fulfilled when I saw JP in the theater as a kid. I was particularly amazed that even my dad had really enjoyed the movie. I kinda wish my nephew (who is only 3 months old) was old enough to take to this movie. I can't know he'd like it of course, but to introduce that to another generation just seems awesome.

The first Evil Dead makes me kind of sick, but that's only because of Raimi's tendency to climb up his actors' noses. The chick in this trailer is reminding me of the Exorcist's Regan. I'm hopeful for this!

The implication that it's a movie Charlie Sheen did before he got famous. I liked the first one too. Sofia Vergara strikes me as able to play loving crazy pretty well, I'm on board.

I'm trying not to judge the Robocop remake by comparison to its original, but what hits me immediately about the trailer is that Robo just looks like a guy in a fancy suit, not a ruined man grafted onto a metal construction. The intact hand isn't helping though I expect it'll be relevant to the plot. I feel like it's going to lack the tragedy that makes Robo more than just a generic action hero. On the other hand, that's probably not the stuff that makes it to the trailer. But right now I don't feel like it's going to be worth watching and will wait for some reviews. "Passionless" is an apt description.

I must admit I'm impressed with what they can make a 6 million dollar budget look like, but it's still only a fancy turd. I burst out laughing at the chick who just has to bare her midriff while snow is falling around her.

Vagabundo posted:Hey guys, there's a new Paranormal Activity movie coming soon. It looks silly. Hm. I really liked the first three, but the way they keep trying to build on this story just isn't working. And they're just ramping up the action even though the appeal of the movies was their subtlety. Also one of the last shots in that trailer where the girls have black eyes looks really lovely.

Vagabundo posted:After his work in films like 3:10 to Yuma, Romper Stomper, The Insider and LA Confidential, Russell Crowe at the very least deserves some benefit of the doubt before being criticised for an acting performance. I have my doubts about the movie, but Crowe strikes me as an excellent choice for a biblical movie.

Goddamn. That trailer alone must've had people terrified when it came out. (Exorcist) edit: VV yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Wasn't there a slight hype when the movie was in theaters where people claimed they thought they were possessed? davidspackage fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Mar 25, 2014 |

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:Nosferatu-lookin' Charles Dance has my attention. It's drat criminal that the years before Game of Thrones have felt so Charles Dance-deprived. I'm not sure if this is a good example but I need way more Charles Dance in my day-to-day media. Movie looks pretty ennnnh though. I really liked how Coppola's Dracula was not just a monster, but this looks angsty as hell. Lukula will probably heroically sacrifice himself in the end to save his people. And how much physical force can you get out of a swarm of bats anyway? The new TMNT is weird, though. It seems to be doing many of the things the Transformers movie was doing - very loud, lots of stuff going on, lots of stuff tacked on to the bulky characters - but I was moderately into TMNT as a kid, and I think it looks fun. I don't mind the redesigns at all, the only thing that made me iffy was the scrapped idea that they were space aliens. As long as this doesn't repeat Transformers's cardinal mistake - focusing way too much on the human character, April - I'm looking forward to it. davidspackage fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jul 1, 2014 |

I... I just can't get into the idea of "good guy dinos", at least not from this trailer. I'm too married to the notion of "Man creates dinosaurs, dinosaurs eat man." Maybe I'll grow to appreciate it. Chris Pratt is too great. Someone here suggested a found gootage Jurassic Park movie and now it's hard to want something else.
