General Movie Thread

Well if that's not proof you're a terrible person, I don't know what is.

[LL!]

There is no way you can blame me for losing interest!

Escape From New York is the next movie to get the reboot treatment.

[Josh]

I'm waiting for a Das Boot reboot so the industry can finally come full circle and eat itself.

[KONGO]

They mentioned periodic TV movies shortly after the show ended and I would definitely prefer that to just a random feature film though.

We don't do this often in America, do we? I know a few British shows at least do it, but I don't watch enough actual on-TV TV to know what American broadcast patterns are like.

[Josh]

That used to be more of a thing here. Much less so these days, if at all. Feels like the most recent example is something like Hunter.

[livid]

I'm assuming you mean Hunted because that is the current plan for that show to continue. NBC was looking into when they canceled Heroes as well but that never led to anything.

Apparently, Matthew Weiner is saying that the upcoming premiere of Mad Men can act as a mini-movie for the show (sorta like last season's but more to the point, supposedly) but we'll have to see.

[Josh]

Nope. I mean Hunter.

But it's far from impossible that there's a show called Hunted and it or another show much more recently did something like this.

[Benjamin]

I hope not. I'm so over Dinosaurs. More zombies, I say.

Just don't say space because then they'll never get Kirkland to see it.

I just saw this, but it got me thinking how traumatized Kirkland must be every time they play promo videos of The Call on RAW.

That was pretty much my reaction too. Pixar might not have done great with some of the newer movies but it seems they can figure out sequels pretty well.

[GoGo Yubari]

Isn't their most-maligned and least critically successful movie ever a sequel?

[Jimmy]

Eh, one of the only people not to like the first one. Would rather they did something more fun and original, seeing as Monster University isn't far off either.

[Josh]

Yeah I feel like Toy Story 3 (and maybe 2) is the only real shining example of Pixar doing a great sequel. Otherwise, it's Cars 2 and the yet-to-be-released stuff.

[TKz]

Man, the new trailer for The Conjuring is awful. They did so well with the previous one, to show so little of the actual ghost. It actually had me interested. But then they release this new trailer and it's pretty much just 2 minutes of HEY THERE'S A GHOST HERE OH NO DON'T TURN AROUND SHE'S LOOKING AT YOU SHIT RUN!

[Katsuya]

Well, I meant TS2/TS3 and there seems to be a lot of positivity about Monsters University. I think it's best to just pretend that Cars 2 just didn't happen. I like to pretend Cars 1 didn't happen, to be fair.

the remake of Carrie...truer to the book then the first movie, and being labelled as the version Stephen King always wanted made

[Benji]

Watched Amazing Spider-Man last night. It severely missed the mark on the humour to drama ratio that I like in a Spidey film, and was really lacking in witty quips from Spidey. Garfield and the CGI were the two highlights of it, which is funny because going into it, I thought both of those were the weakest things judging by the trailers.

The lack of a lot of Spidey's ensemble cast was ridiculous too - not even poor old Aunt May got a look in, and she was in the film, unlike a lot of the cast they missed.

Not a bad film by any stretch, it was a decent popcorn movie with popcorn movie logic and plotholes, but it's not my ideal Spidey movie by any stretch of the imagination.

[livid]

Shit yeah, sign me up!

[livid]

I'm really, really looking forward to this and I don't even care that my better judgement is telling me not to!
