moby dick retold with Danny Glover ^__^

take a guess who he is gana be =]

[jaganar]

came back from it last night , i hate cera as an actor and as a person ( because he keeps picking shitty nerd-bucket roles) atleast justin long tries to be a bad ass and Jay Baruchel tries not to be a colossal screwup actor . that being said , cera's only good role ever was the one where he has the bad-ass personality

Spoiler

i liked the movie , unfortunately i dont like how NOT WILLING to fight for something she was... that to me was 1/3 of the girls i dated... shows no backbone or personal integrity and overall makes her a real coward in the story

Went to see Scott Pilgrim vs the World and I can't say I liked it. Everyone who liked it have tried explaining the plot to me.. but really it was just too fast and too ridiculous to follow for me. (Which works well with Hot Fuzz and such, but not this one.) It's not a bad movie though, it's just not a movie I prefer.

Spoiler

And while he gets the girl in the end. He basically dumps the nice girl and ruins his band's multi-million dollar deal. I get it. It's about self respect, but he could have done all this AFTER his band blew up big. At least live the rockstar life of endless drugs and women before you blow up your boss. Come on!!!!

[JKR666]

Well I just didn't like it. For me, Cera didn't come off as someone I liked and being bad ass with absolutely no background in where it came from.. it just left me confused.

Spoiler

and unfortunately you got friends who won't help him fight these idiots, you got an asian chick who was wrongfully mistreated throughout the story (it only made me hate Cera more and more), you got an ex-girlfriend who has no real purpose in being in the movie, and a music producer that would have set him and his band up for life. He's a rocker! When's the last time a rocker was faithful to one chick? Maybe when he's old.. okay, but not at this moment! And I get that this is a mindless movie, but then there's the Vegan battle (and I gotta say all the battles were lame. I was hoping for at least ONE decent fight.) where the vegan is trying to explain how he's got powers. Really? In this story where the first boyfriend is throwing fire? Then they started explaining the rules, like how only Cera can kill the exes (or turn these people into coins). I mean if this is so senseless.. why are you wasting my time with these moments? It's one of those movies that relies heavily on the.. the.. I dunno.. but whatever it is.. it's got people enjoying the movie.

to quote stallone, "batman killed the action movies"....
its a whole new generation , man these kids dont like brawn and fist fights by bodybuilder types or even athletic types , just look at the films we have been forced to endure (every action flick where the male is NOT UP TO stallone/willis/arnold/Keifer sutherland bodyforms)

remember , this is a world now where we have shiney vampires who cant even get their cock hard, where hollywood is raping the classics and devaluing our cinematic culture ...dont expect anything to be realistic , cus i have yet to see a vegan who is as healthy as that guy *seriosly they are all cardbord thin, for fucks sake*

Don't mention shiny vampires ever again. It took me months to get that image out of my head. Glitter vampires.. *shiver*

I agree though, movies are rapidly degrading into something very ugly, but that's because the industry is rapidly losing money. Hell they're milking Avatar again as if it didn't make enough money the first time around. As for Batman, it's not just movies. It's redefined games (with Arkam Asylum), TV (Batman), and cartoons (Batman Animated). It's the single successful brand in the last twenty years. It's also the one brand that's been milked to death. In movies, cartoons, games, etc.. you'd think the well was dry but they still keep milkin' it away... and I can't for the life of me understand why the media isn't sick of Batman by now.

[jaganar]

to be honest

Spoiler

i liked the movie , only wish cera was NOT in it.. any other actor even that chunky kid from sarah marshal or Mc lovin

the friends , yup but thats what you get for being in a scene *scene'ster* or whatever the fawk passes for alternative rock these days.



avatar , we all new it was coming , remember the ship ? that cameron sent out on 2 more runs ( titanic) i think it was in the theaters like 75% in 2 years straight.
and knowing them they arent going to put in the Na'vi sex scene only the 5 minutes of extra footage .

[JKR666]

Seriously though, if the Batman brand was in sports.. it would redefine sports.

I'm still not sure about Suckerpunch. I love the idea that it seems to be a big love letter to geeks everywhere, and the premise of going into a fantasy world to escape reality is always fun (well, except for Pan's Labyrinth, which although a great film was also one of the most depressing things I've seen), but I'm kind of tired of the desaturated Sin City/300/Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow look to the movie. The fantasy world looks to be a cross between Japanese/Anime pop and Mignola/Del Toro fantasy, and I think a brighter color pallet would look better, but that's just my opinion. Plus, all of the CG makes me suspect that the action will be over the top, which can be entertaining, but it generally kills any sense of danger in the action since all laws of physics are warped for a cool visual so that logic gets tossed out the window. It's never a case of, "Holy crap! That beast just knocked her 50 feet in the air! It probably broke all of her ribs with that hit, and the rest of her is gonna be smashed when she falls 5 stories to the ground." Now it's a case of, "Whoa! That beast knocked her 50 feet in the air, but thanks to slow-mo she can do a series of flips and pull out double gigantic pistols to shoot that beast while she falls 5 stories (over the course of the next 30 seconds) to land in a cool pose and pause before the beast falls over and then explodes as she cooly walks away from the fireball, which never even singes her hair."

I think I've just gotten jaded with CG-driven action movies and much prefer the practical stunt work of a Bourne film and the incredible athleticism of an old-school Hong Kong or modern Thai martial arts flick. (Seriously, my jaw dropped more in amazement watching Ong Bak--no CG, no wirework, no stunt doubles--than any over-the-top CG-assisted action scene.) Oh, and for you Rhi, The Protector (another Tony Jaa flick) is set primarily in Australia, and it features an incredible 4-minute continuous fight scene--that's 4-minutes of fighting through a club filmed with one steadycam and not a single cut. That's not to say CG action is all bad--the action in Avatar, and CG flicks like How to Train Your Dragon and The Incredibles is great--but I prefer the action to be somewhat grounded in reality instead of kowtowing to a "cool" visual.

That said, if Suckerpunch has the ridiculous action I described before and embraces it as ridiculous instead of trying to pass it off as cool, it could be a heck of a lot of fun to watch.

And I'm still on the fence about Zack Snyder (director of Suckerpunch) directing the next Superman movie. He's proven that he can stay faithful to his source material, but Superman's wholesomeness is very different from anything he's handled in the past. I'm one of the few people who liked Superman Returns and saw all sorts of directions the series could've taken from there (heck, in chat one time, Bliss and I brainstormed a 2 movie arc following Returns that was pretty good, IMO, and it included a dramatic arc for Superman's--much hated--son), and I think Singer's idyllic, Rockwellian look to the movie (lifted from Donner's original) is much better suited to Superman than the slow-mo and graininess that Snyder seems to prefer.

[Sickpuppy]

wow, that was a very well thought out and explained point of view

I'm gonna go look at cartoon boobies now

[JKR666]

Tron's coming up soon. Anyone planning to see that?

I may see it only to listen to Daft Punk lol. Biggest selling point about that movie to me.

As for Suckerpunch. The costumes look cool and has entertaining effects, but I may give it a miss. I'm with Shapie these kinda films are over done lol.
