Chay got priapism from Tron: Legacy - Upcoming Films thread

[Reply #40 on:]

Did any PEELer see the Transformers sequel?  I only saw the original because it was on cable (free); I couldn't inflict the same damage to my IQ by seeing the 2nd one.

Yes, opening night with my boyfriend. We seemed to be the only sane people while everyone else continued to loose their brain cells at every passing minute. By the half way point we were both ready to kill ourselves. Fuck that movie.

TOTPSeizure!

[Reply #41 on:]

Sorry to hear it, Spacedal11.  The fact that they're making a 3rd one means there's millions of stupid people out there who can't tell a quality film if it bit them on the ass...

[Reply #42 on:]

Only good part of those movies was the presence of an SR-71 in the second one.
...Which was inexplicably British.

[Reply #43 on:]

Not that's he's really a credible source, but Shia Labeouf, who has said on a few occasions that Transformers 2 was shit, has said that the third one will be good, and will make up for the second. So... fingers crossed.

[Reply #44 on:]

Define "good" as described from the perspective of a Disney kid?

[Reply #45 on:]

It means the Jonas Brothers will be in it.

[Reply #46 on:]

Oh my... I think... I think I'm gonna...

Has anyone seen Flipped?

Some Green Lantern footage is afoot.

And Uwe Bolls Bluberella for the lawls.

Krusty: What the hell was that?

[Reply #50 on:]

Uwe Boll needs to be stopped. Bluberella is a parody of a movie he has just made called Bloodrayne 3, from what I know they were both made pretty much same time.

Any ways who gives a shit about him.

This looks fucking awesome.

Cowboys and Aliens

edit:

I'm also kinda of confused as to what to think about this trailer.

Your Highness

Cowboys and Aliens

I read the graphic novel of that a few years ago. Film was inevitable. In fact, I think that was the intention when the graphic novel was published.

[Reply #52 on:]

Looking forward to seeing Cowboys and Aliens...

[Reply #53 on:]

Cowboys and Aliens looks fucking stupid and terrible

[Reply #54 on:]

Well it is only a trailer, but I didn't think they'd get a big cast for it, but I'm excited about Harrison Ford in a possibly badass role where he's fighting aliens.... oh, wait...

I am looking forward to Rian Johnsons Looper, it's got Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt (JoGoLev) in a futuristic noir time-travel related dystopia... fun!

Me too. I love Pineapple Express, and this did get a few laughs out of me. But it's such a strange mix. Oh well I'll probably see it anyway, because I can.

[Reply #56 on:]

It has Natalie Portmans delicious rear buns though...

[Reply #57 on:]

That's all they should show in their trailer; guaranteed to help the first weekend's opening totals.

[Reply #58 on:]

Only thing good about the Star Wars prequels.

Buns? She usually only has one.

Steven Spielberg to direct movie about humans fighting an apocalyptic robot uprising.

Weird, the book is only available for pre-order on Amazon, how the hell does Spielberg know if it's any good if it's not out yet?
It sounds like Termintaor or BSG for that matter.

I'm talkin' 'bout the buns she got out in Hotel Chevalier, aww yeah.

Gee.  Not another Spielberg film.  Why is everything thing he is making these days terrible?  Meh!  War of the Worlds was the final nail in the coffin for him.  Blah, what a piece of shit that was.

This story vein of "humans fight post apolcalyptic robot uprising" has been mined already to death.  How about something creative, Steven...

 Did you even see that mountain of skulls?!?

Tron the Movie?  Sure, it could be a good movie.  But is Hollywood just getting lazy or have they run out of ideas?  What next? 

PONG!  The movie!  or
Oregon Trail! 
ohh, I know!.....Number Munchers, the movie!  Sweet.   

[Reply #66 on:]

But is Hollywood just getting lazy or have they run out of ideas? 

Yes.

[Reply #67 on:]

is Hollywood just getting lazy or have they run out of ideas

Uh... yeah. About twenty years ago. Where have you been?

Every single movie that has come out in the past two decades has been based on:

*A novel
*A comicbook/graphic novel
*A videogame
*A TV-show, or
*An older movie.

Every single one. There is not one original idea to go around in Hollywood. None at all. Zip.

[Reply #68 on:]

You forgot

*A theme park ride (e.g. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl)

On the other hand, what about Pixar's Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL•E, & Up?

Well, in the past two years 96% of all films released by Hollywood were based on something the general public may recognise.

Pixar is the exception to the rule, for the most part (Toy Story 2 & 3).   They're still light years beyond the hollywood studios, who are run by non-creative suits... 

[Reply #71 on:]

Tron the Movie?  Sure, it could be a good movie.  But is Hollywood just getting lazy or have they run out of ideas?  What next?

You do realize that the movie Tron has been out for several years now, right? The new one coming out is a sequel.

And I'm not sure why you compared the premise to basing a movie off Pong or Oregon Trail, since Tron was not a video game before the movie came out. The premise for the movie was inspired by video games and computers, but it's not based on any in particular.

[Reply #72 on:]

28 is more than several.

[Reply #73 on:]

And more than that in dog years.

I'm still really interested to see the CGI they do on Jeff Bridges face, to cut 20 years off of it. 

[Reply #74 on:]

ok...I will admit I was wrong...thanks for the info.

[Reply #75 on:]

Free Hot Meal, are you 15 or younger? Cause I'm not gonna buy your ignorance unless you are fairly young. Otherwise you are pop-culturally inept and that makes me cry.

Watch the trailers then.

[Reply #77 on:]

Not interested in just the trailers; want to see how it looks over the entire time of the movie.

No, I'm an Engineer...I think that speaks for itself.  


I just started getting into watching movies when I went to college and was able to download things fast with DC++.  Maybe I have just gotten more cynical over the years, but I'm just so sick of all these "stupid" movies that they promote the hall out of.  Piranha in 3-D, another aliens attacking the earth movie, etc.  So many movies that have no character development or story (and when was the last time you saw a good action/suspense movie with character development...all the way back to the Silence of the Lambs?).  Where they get the story from doesn't matter, just make it good.  The Dark Knight is an example....based on a comic, but done really, really well.  Where have the movies like The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption gone other than on my movie shelf?

And I will give you that Pixar is the only thing holding Disney together since they haven't created their own good animated movie in years...now they just like to remake them or put them out as a "25 year anniversary set" or something like that.

[Reply #79 on:]

No, I'm an Engineer...I think that speaks for itself.  

It really doesn't.  Most engineers I know are pretty well aware of the world that goes on around, and specially cult classics such as Tron.  I have not personally seen Tron, but I know it exists.

I don't assume that anyone else is required to have seen a film to know it.

And before you continue, I assumed as an engineer you would be able to make out it is a sequel since the title of the film is Tron: Legacy.  Unless legacy means something entirely different and obscure in engineering jargon.
