And Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MSrAwfagG4

What the gently caress? There's going to be a whole movie of just the grandpa segments from Jackass? Those were funny in the Jackass movies because they weren't any longer than a minute or two, and they were surrounded by all different kinds of segments. I'm pretty sure that a whole movie of just those will get old very fast.

The gross part is what put me off. I saw the first movie in theaters but haven't bothered with the rest because while I enjoy the tomfoolery parts I can't stand the gross out bits.

If you hate the grossout stuff then it's a good thing you haven't seen Jackass 2

Okay, so the trailer for Bad Grandpa played before I saw Elysium tonight, and I'll admit, I chuckled at it a few times :shobon:

It still doesn't look nearly as funny as any of the Jackass movies, but I'll go see it and hopefully get some laughs out of it.

How was Elysium? It seems to be getting a luke warm response from critics.

It seems like anybody who thought about it too hard didn't enjoy it, but I really liked it. Saw it in IMAX and visually it was one of the most interesting and beautiful movies I've seen all year. The fight scenes are a lot of fun, especially later on. Sharlto Copley essentially plays a Metal Gear Solid character and it's hilariously awesome. Matt Damon is a good fit for the lead and turns in a solid performance. There's loads of atmosphere to be found in the movie. It almost reminded me of movies like Soylent Green at times. It's a nice, short little self-contained sci-fi flick without much filler, which is exactly what I wanted out of it.

Some trailers amplify your already sizable appetite for a movie. Others catch you off guard by letting you know a filmmaker or star you like has something new coming out that you didn't previously know about.

Still others just hit you from way out in left field. You never heard of this, you never heard of anybody involved with this, you don't even normally seek out this kind of movie (in this case, documentary), but you watch the trailer and you want it YESTERDAY.

Guess which one this is.

Hollywood needs more completely absurd movies that are over-the-top in every way. Machete Kills looks like a drat good time at the movies, and if they go to space for the next one...well then it's already confirmed that I'll be laughing my rear end off the entire way through it.

What if I like this trailer and think you are being whiny?

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I just don't think this looks like Robocop and it doesn't seem like it'll come close to being as good as the original.

Even if it turns out alright, I still don't get the impression from that trailer that it's going to be a proper Robocop remake/reboot/reimagining/whatever the gently caress you want to call it.

The Total Recall remake was alright...and nothing more. It definitely wasn't as good as the original, and it wasn't even the kind of movie that had a bunch of cool moments that I still think about and discuss with friends and such. This trailer gives me that same kind of vibe. And if you're gonna remake a classic movie full of heart and make it something that looks just alright, well why even do it at all?

It's still a year out, though. Maybe the next trailer for it will look more interesting.

The pattern I'm seeing is "This trailer is bad because it isn't 80's Robocop."

But like dundun said, a big reason the original worked so well is because it had so much of the 80s in it.

Yeah, a franchise that was awesome in the 80s and is still awesome today can be transplanted into the modern day, but that doesn't mean it should, especially when a big reason it's so awesome is because it's so heavily tied to the time period in which it was released. From what that trailer showed, it explores some of the same concepts as the original (albeit in different ways for some of them). But....I mean, come on, it's PG-13 for gently caress's sake. If you take the 80s satire out of the movie, at least leave in the ultraviolence for it to fall back on. With it being rated PG-13, even that won't be there.

What? I think you're letting nostalgia come in and cloud the issue up too much. When Robocop came out no one loved it because it "has so much of the 80s in it" because it was the 80s at the current time. I think if you can't break out of this mindset you are probably doomed to not like anything in the new one.

I didn't even see the original for the first time until like 2007 or 2008. (Since then I've watched both the first and second movie at least 10 times each.) That doesn't change the fact that it has a metric fuckton of 80s charm to it. And it's not that I don't like any movies made or set in the present day, because I find new ones to like all the time. I just don't think Robocop is going to benefit from being modernized in any way.

I think not wanting a remake of a classic movie that still holds up extremely well to this day is a valid opinion :shobon:

Especially when the trailer for said remake doesn't inspire much confidence that it'll be as much of an achievement as the original.

It is a valid opinion, but it is not an opinion that can be credibly held against the movie itself. You're saying "This movie is going to be bad because it shouldn't exist." Think about that for a second.

But what if I think it shouldn't exist and the trailer makes it look bad? It's that one-two punch that's what's really disheartening.

I don't think Robocop should be remade, but if a remake were to come out that actually looked like it would be above average and watchable, I'd be totally on board with it. But I don't get that vibe at all from this trailer.

If you already think it shouldn't exist then it was never going to look good to you, short of Abbie Cornish climbing out of the screen to suck your dick -- even then you'd be talking 50/50 odds. Look, I think the trailer makes certain key missteps (YOUR SON NEEDS YOU) and I don't mean to be such a staunch defender of it, but let's get real here. If you're seriously closed off to the very idea of a Robocop remake you've got no business giving it any attention aside from an initial "Ugh, not seeing that."

That's not necessarily true. If it looked like it retained the spirit of the original (satire/gore/body horror/not necessarily adept but still effective acting performances, etc.), I'd actually be excited to see it, even if I didn't think it was going to be as great as the original. But based on this trailer, it doesn't look like that stuff is intact, or at least as intact as it should be (all of you who are saying it is...I don't even know where you're getting that idea), so I'm not excited for it. I'll still see it on the off chance that the themes of the original are in there, don't get me wrong. But that trailer hasn't given me a reason to be excited about it.

I thought this trailer for Jared Leto's new flick "Mr. Nobody" seemed pretty drat cool.

http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/mrnobody/

And then I found out it apparently was released in 2009??? Is it just now getting distribution?

Just a US distribution, yeah. I saw it a few years ago, and from the little I remember of it, it was pretty plodding and boring and overlong.

A friend of mine is a big Jared Leto/30 Seconds To Mars fan, and I am too (to a lesser degree), so he found out this was coming out a few years ago and he turned me on to it.

It reminds me of the Fast And The Furious movies as well as Faster, that movie with The Rock, and probably some others that I can't think of at the moment, too. It doesn't really look like the in game cutscenes at all. I don't know why this movie even has that title or is related to the game in the first place. It's not like the plots of any of those games matter.

They seem to have gone even more overboard with the CGI cameratricks, everything looked so goddamn lifeless and videogamey. And that trailer was really weirdly paced too, it felt like you watched the same shots over and over again. Benedict Smaug was nice at least.

Yeah, it looks even worse than the first one in that regard

Is this one gonna be in 48FPS too? I can imagine that would be even more disorienting than seeing the first one in HFR was (I saw it in HFR. It wasn't good. Felt like I was watching something on a TV with TrueMotion on but in a theater.).

Benedict Smaug did give me the chills a little bit, though, so I'll probably still go see it just for that, but in regular 24FPS.

Say what you want, but there was a lot of kickass fantasy landscape porn in that trailer and I love me some good landscape porn. It doesn't look any different from the first one, so it'll probably be more of the same, which is fine by me. I liked The Hobbit a lot.

That one shot of the guy diving out of the way of an explosion looked awful though, haha

No, New Zealand (and parts of Alaska, I couldn't believe it) actually look like that.

I knew most of the LotR trilogy and the first Hobbit used a lot of on location shots in New Zealand, but in this trailer, a lot of the locations looked like they were done with CG, whether they were entirely composed in CG or a mixture of CG and real world locations. Is that not the case?

Posted about this in Gen Chat, but I saw/heard of Brick Mansions for the first time tonight by seeing an extended commercial for it on Comedy Central. Apparently it's an American variation of District 13/Banlieue 13.

So besides that, why should you care? Well Paul Walker's in it, and in fact, I think this may have been his last movie (unless the footage he shot for Fast & Furious 7 is still used). RZA's in it too.

The movie itself doesn't look too special but I'll still go see it because of Paul Walker. It comes out on April 25th.
