I might going to see Clash of the Titans in 3-D in the near future. I'll issue a field report then. But right now I'm thinking Liam Neeson as Zeus = EPIC WIN. Even with the whole "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" line that will make everyone think of Pirates.


Is there not a facepalm emoticon? We need one.

Dont.  They rushed the 3d process hard, and there were no film shots meant to take advantage of the 3d.  Every reviewer (including the ones at the place I work for) is cautioning everyone 'see it in 2d'.

Awesome. Another pointless 3-D movie. Is James Cameron the only one who's made a movie in 3-D for 3-D to be see in 3-D? Because if so, fail.

Speaking of remakes, apparently they're redoing Karate Kid and Red Dawn, as well as a reboot of the Predator franchise.

Karate Kid isn't so much as a remak as a reimagining of it due to various reasons IMO and Red Dawn does look interesting,but instead of commis from Russia they are commies from China. Fun Fact Red Dawn was the frist movie to get a PG-13 rating and it was filmed in Las Vagas,New Mexico.

I finally got around to seeing Zombie Land.  That one was great!

Dark City anyone?
I like that one.  It seems not a lot of people have heard of it.

It is a shame stupidity isn't painful.

Totally true.  Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment.
Quote from: Grand Theft Otto
Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?"
Quote from: CryoSilver
I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife.  A dull, rusty knife.  A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife.

I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet.
Quote from: CryoSilver
When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!"

What really impressed me about Red Dawn was the lengths to which they went to make AKMs look like AK74s, which were unavailable in the US at that time.

You know that tank they made for it? It was realistic enough to get folks from the government to show up supposedly they were CIA...

Heh, I didn't know that.  Tanks can be hard to do sometimes.  Look at Saving Private Ryan:  A great movie, but the 'Tiger' at the end was really a Russian T-34 chassis with some applique panels on it to make it look like a tiger.  The road wheels are completely different from the interleaved Tiger pattern.

Legendary Pictures (Clash of the Titans remake) wants to redo Godzilla.  Not a sequel to the crappy Roland/Emmerich film, but remakes of the Japanese movies.  This is either a very good or very bad thing im not yet sure which

Speaking of remakes, apparently they're redoing Karate Kid and Red Dawn, as well as a reboot of the Predator franchise.

they also wanna do Monster Squad, Red Sonja,  and Gilligans Island (and maybe Barbarella)
I'm glad to hear about the predator. I liked all of those movies, especially the first. ("Nothing but a bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make a sexual tyrannosaurus out of you, just like me." <3 )

But Barbarella? Ugh...

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

Had to do it.  Quote fixed.

The interesting thing about the new Predators movie is the casting.  Adrian Brody in the lead role?  Laurence Fishburne?  Topher Grace?  The guy who played Shane in the Shield?  Interesting.

Also, I have a cousin-in-law who works in the movie industry and got to see "Kick Ass" recently.  He said it was seriously good, though the language and violence were both 'intense'.
