What Movie Did You Just See?

[mjk73]

Fresh off the presses. I.Can't.Wait.


The Hobbit Official Trailer #1 - Lord of the Rings Movie (2012) HD

OH GOD A MOVIE I WILL WATCH!!!

I don't think I'm gonna watch any trailers though if I can help myself  :-X ...............

It won't matter if you've read the book, or even if you've seen LOTR; it's like visiting old friends and some new ones too. The trailer gives nothing away, unlike every bad film with trailers that explain the entire plot.

I just watched this as a friend emailed it to me. I damn near wet myself with excitment.

loved that movie.

Mr. Fully and I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie last night (date night!); it was as good as the first one. I really need to spend some time reading some of the books. I think I read The Hounds of the Baskervilles in school years ago, but as much as I've enjoyed this movie, I should probably go read one of the books.

Have you seen Bronson? Tom Hardy is excellent.

Nicolas Winding Refn & Ryan Gosling are making another movie together: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1602613/

Prometheus trailer: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/52374

I'm a little behind the times, so forgive me my ignorance if this is already "old news".  This trailer clearly has Alien written all over it.  From IMDB, this discussion of the back and forth on if Prometheus is an Alien prequel or at least inhabiting the "Alien universe".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/faq#.2.1.2

Does this movie belong to Alien franchise?

The film started out as a prequel to the original Alien film.

Some recent history: there had been talks of a fifth Alien movie for years, with alternating contributions from James Cameron and Ridley Scott. In fact, Scott had committed to an Alien sequel or prequel about ten years ago, but aborted the project when the studio opted to make the AvP movies first, and Scott was no supporter of the Alien/Predator crossover franchise. After the disappointing box office from Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, the studio shelved the AvP franchise again to go back to the original plan.

The prequel film was supposed to cover the origins of the Weyland-Yutani Company. However, a full agreement could not be reached; Scott envisioned an explicitly R-rated movie, but since this would limit the target audience, the studio demanded a drastically reduced budget to which Scott wouldn't agree. So the Alien prequel film was abandonned in favour of an original project called Prometheus. Some ideas for the aborted Alien prequel would be used, and the story would contain elements reminiscent of the Alien backstory, but it would be a movie separate from the Alien Universe.

In an interview, however, Michael Fassbender confirmed that this is actually an Alien movie, taking place in the Alien universe. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/02/11/prometheus-alien-michael-fassbender/. Ridley Scott was quick to retort, stating that "this is not an Alien prequel"; it does appear that Scott intends to make Prometheus completely different from the other Alien films. Exactly how is not yet clear, but it is likely that the story takes place within the same universe, but it is not directly connected to the events of the original.

There may of course be some misdirection on part of the film makers to help highten interest in the film.

According to Skymovies.com, there is a rumor that they are building a Space Jockey set, but no confirmation has been made yet. Recently leaked photos from the set of the film heavily suggest the movie is an Alien film. The set designs are very much inspired by if not designed and built by H.R. Giger. http://moviepilot.com/movies/40483-prometheus/containers/307858-like-nectar-from-the-gods-leaked-prometheus-images?utm_campaign=leaked-prometheus-images&utm_source=fb-stream-post&utm_medium=fb-stream-post

Regarding the "xenomorph", Ridley Scott stated in an interview that it will not appear in the movie:

"No. Absolutely not. They squeezed it dry. "

And regarding the link to the first movie.:

"EGE: So you are linking this directly with the Alien films?

RS: Not at all.

EGE: Not at all?

RS: No.

EGE: No?

RS: I mean, you could actually say, and theres a quote I did, a pretty good quote: By the end of the third act you start to realize theres a DNA of the very first alien, but none of the subsequent aliens. To tell you what that is is a pity, and Im not going to tell you, because its actually pretty good, pretty organic to the process and to the original. But we go back, we dont go forward."

In the same interview, Scott confirms that H.R. Giger is doing "a little bit" of design work on the project. http://filmophilia.com/2011/12/17/interview-ridley-scott-talks-prometheus-giger-beginning-of-man-and-original-alien/

Watched Valhalla Rising a couple weeks ago. Cool movie. Really dug the scenery and lighting/color schemes of it. Sweet battle scenes. I thought I might get bored with it but didnt.

Saw Bronson a few months ago, I think me a Jaimoe went back and forth about it in this thread. Average at best movie but worth it just for Tom Hardy's great performance. That single-handedly convinced me he should be awesome as Bane in TDKR.

Wait, wasn't my girl in Drive?

Taxi Driver Sweded by Michel Gondry [Official version]

[Ruckus]

Drive - 4.5/5
Moneyball - 3.5/5
Bridesmaids - 3.5/5
Transformers III - 3.5/5
Drive Angry - 2.5/5 - made me laugh more than Bridesmaids however

[Jaimoe]

I wonder if Guy Ritchie can hear Conan Doyle rolling in his grave?

[megalicious]

Wait, wasn't my girl in Drive?

YOUR girl? No sir. I've laid prior claim to her.  ;)

Have any of you seen Tucker and Dale vs Evil? It's available on Netflix now. I watched it the other day and laughed my gorgeous ass off.

We can share her.

I'm dying to see Tucker and Dale vs Evil (I'm a big fan of Alan Tudyk and have liked Tyler Labine since the underrated TV series, Invasion). Tucker got very little distribution here in Canada (and it's a Canadian film), but this isn't uncommon for non-Quebec features (that province's has a strong industry and doesn't have to compete with Hollywood). I think I should do a double-feature night and pair Tucker and Dale vs Evil with another recent Canuck cult flick, Hobo With A Shotgun.

Secret of Kells - 4/5 - Brilliant, vibrant animation - story left a little to be desired
127 Hours - 3.5/5 - As good as it could have been done.  Kind of like Open Water in the canyons but obviously based on a true story. 
Lincoln Lawyer - 3/5 - McConaughey as himself - Had read the book and was a solid adaptation.  I'm a sucker for run of the mill crime/thrillers.
Change Up - 3/5 - Crude humor with no witty dialog.  Good, cheap laughs.  I dug it.

you guys need to watch "A Good Old Fashion Orgy" Tyler Labine is in it, Will Forte is in it, jason sudeikis.  I liked it better than tucker and dale.  thought tucker and dale was a little bit... retarded.
