muscles like this? posted:The last gasp of that would probably be the Episode One teaser they attached to Wing Commander. After that pretty much everything went online. Actually the last gasp of it was when Last Flight of the Osiris (from the Animatrix) was exclusively previewed attached to Dreamcatcher. Otherwise, yeah. Odd fact: the first movie to have its own official website was Stargate.

exquisite tea posted:One movie that always comes to mind when thinking about trailers is Cellular, a pretty stupid and forgettable semi-comedic thriller that was re-cut to look super dramatic and suspenseful. The Ryan Phillipe movie "Way of the Gun" went in the exact opposite direction - the trailer made it out to be a fairly light buddy action movie, when in fact it was quite dark.

Robert Denby posted:To keep this on topic for recent trailers on upcoming releases, let's talk about "Cosmopolis", David Cronenberg's new film starring Robert Pattinson, which is premiering at Cannes soon. I think this thing's either going to be a phenomenal piece of satire… or the next "Southland Tales". Judge for yourself. Looks like someone doesn't want to be remembered as Edward Cullen.

I was at the cinema last night to see The Raid (which is loving awesome, by the way) and they had the cardbard marquee for Rock of Ages in the lobby. When I saw the "pick up the cardboard guitar and have a friend take a photo of you being a rock star!" thing on the front, I knew without looking at the cast that the movie was going be complete and utter poo poo. I don't care who's in it or what it's about - merely purchasing a ticket is going to be enough to shrivel your brain with psychic herpes. Don't do it.

LesterGroans posted:One of the strangest, funniest audience reactions to a trailer I've seen was the full-body groan/laughs when "From The Mind of M Night Shyamalan", or whatever, appears during the trailer for Devil. ... he said, admitting he had not seen Lady In The Water or The Village. Nothing strange about people groaning at the thought of a movie from the arse of M Night Shyamalan. The guy's a good director, but he needs to do a couple of work for hire projects to remind people of the fact while he takes longer on his own scripts. Tarsem Singh has the same problem.

achillesforever6 posted:Well aren't all fairy tales really dark stories that have been lighten up in the past century? The last couple of centuries now, but yes. They're still meant for children aged five to ten, though, as they were originally told as much to instruct and to warn as to entertain. Take Little Red Riding Hood, for example: a girl talks to a strange man in the woods and tells him where she's going. The stranger then murders her grandmother and lies in wait for the girl. When she arrives, he rapes and murders her. The lesson for the child: never talk to strangers. If you're only familiar with the Disneyfied versions, let me tell you, the originals are more like the Saw movies. The stepsisters in Cinderella cut off pieces of their feet so the slipper will fit - and the slipper itself was a sexual innuendo that has been lost in translation - and the prince who wakes Sleeping Beauty did a hell of a lot more than just kiss her.

Aatrek posted:Okay, I've never seen the original 'Evil Dead', but I always assumed it was a horror-comedy-hybrid type film because of Bruce Campbell's usual on-screen personality and that he plays a dude with a chainsaw for a hand? Am I just totally, completely wrong, or is the trailer for the new version is a different take on the story completely? Not a different take so much as a different style. The original Evil Dead was played straight, but it's still obvious that they were having fun making it. This remake is just po-faced by the numbers splatter flick #264. I've discussed the red band trailer before on other forums, and the near universal consensus was that it killed any desire anyone had to see the movie. I'm amazed it's getting a positive response here.

bathhouse posted:But what do your other forums say about this new redband trailer? Oh, this is a new trailer? *watches* I can't speak for anyone else as my PC died and I don't have forum access, but my opinion hasn't changed at all. There wasn't a single thing in that trailer that was even remotely scary, and it didn't even manage to gross me out. The thus far perfect record of remakes of 70s/80s horror movies being irredeemable poo poo is in no danger of being sullied.

GonSmithe posted:Congratulations. Just because you don't find a woman slicing her own tongue in half, then snowballing it with another woman scary or disgusting doesn't mean that the rest of the world doesn't. I didn't say that, I just stated my opinion that this movie is not good. I've been freaked out by things far less gruesome than the tongue slicing scene before now, when they were done well. Admittedly it's not easy to build suspense in a two minute trailer, but these people just seem to be throwing as much blood at the wall as they can and seeing what sticks. The original movie did the same, of course, but it was made on the weekends by a bunch of amateurs with no money and lots of imagination. This is a professional studio production with lots of money and no imagination.

Deadpool posted:Your opinion that this movie is not good means less than nothing since you've not seen it. I agree that we can only judge by what we've seen. But trailers usually include a representative sample where they don't just crowbar in all the best bits, and what's in that trailer isn't good. So either the best bits of this movie are bad, the movie in general is bad, or they made a trailer out of stuff cribbed from the original and they managed to do all of it worse. None of these possibilities bode well for the film's quality. Could I be wrong? Of course. And even if I'm not there's no reason why you shouldn't go see it if you want and make up your own mind. But when we've seen remakes of Halloween, The Fog, Nightmare on Elm Street, Black Christmas, and many other classics of the period and each and every one of them has been an apocalyptic turd, and when the trailer for Evil Dead looks no better, I don't think it's unfair to presume.

Deadpool posted:That tends to happen when the original is insanely overhyped and incredibly mediocre. Next week, on People With No Taste... Seriously, Ringu has fallen foul of the large number of identikit J-Horror films that followed it. It doesn't feel as original now as it did ten years ago. (It's also a movie that is much better watched on VHS than DVD, for obvious reasons. The first time I watched it the phone rang just as I stopped the tape.  )

The MSJ posted:In Avengers 2, he will just lift up a rock in the middle of the savannah where a secret fingerprint sensor verifies his identity and a new suit of armor will come flying out of a nearby trashcan. Much like in the tokusatsu series Cybercop. If Iron Man 3 is in any way based on Extremis, that would be a backstep. Stark ends up carrying the armour as liquid nano-machinery in the hollows of his bones.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:The trailer story seems to follow the comic pretty closely except for a thing here and there. So aside from the really horrible poo poo, I think they're just going to go where the comic went. Yeah. The first movie diverged only because Mark Millar hadn't finished writing the scripts for the book yet. He says the second movie is pretty much dead on to the Hit-Girl mini and Kick-rear end 2 the book.

TTBF posted:That's the big twist, but not the ending. The ending is all the footage (of the found footage film, in other words the footage you are watching) was either destroyed or rendered unrecoverable. There is absolutely no possible way for that footage to have made its way to Earth and be assembled into a movie. Who's to say that it did? We could be watching the aliens' holiday video. "Look, here's that nice couple we met in the Sea of Tranquility ... how did we kill them again, G'hrarg?"

I'm more annoyed that they showed Smaug at all. That should have been a "Whoa, gently caress" moment for the moviegoer. You work in the business, kiimo - why is it acceptable for trailer makers to do the cinematic equivalent of premature ejaculation?
