The Movie Thread

I hate Teaser trailers, cause now I can't wait for yet another movie!

You're right the quality is crap, actually terrible, the one looks like the guy was recording from a jumping castle within a cinema? Otherwise the movie looks really good from what I could make out from between the blocks!

yeah it got me itching even actually sat for hours looking for what angle of joker they are gna spin_

i hate you tube,with a passion.

btw_ironman looks interesting too_not a marvel fan but hey...it looks like a good movie

Xiphan · Post by **Xiphan** » 22 Sep 2007, 14:07

Well what I find interesting is that Iron man will be played by Robert Downey Jr. and apparently he's a a big fan of the Iron Man comics and actually asked to play the role and be involved in production. So we can expect something really good from that movie! If you think about it, how good did Spiderman turn out because the director, Sam Raimi, was a huge fan of it when growing up?

Also speaking of Sam Raimi, apparently he's considering doing The Hobbit?

1408 is pretty good, some really freaky parts in the movie, worth the watch for Stephen King fans

I'm looking forward to I Am Legend starring Will Smith. Its pencilled in for a December release.

I think, after seeing the trailer, that its going to be an excellant movie. A sci-fi/horror I believe.

L8r

Lol, I actually heard it is about vampires...??

EDIT:

Plot summary wrote:Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.

so, you're easily distracted then?... look.. sparkly bits!...

<points at random corner...>

the bit which makes me throw up a little is the fact that next year sometime, millions of people are going to be glued in front of their tv's watching this talentless, imagination-devoid, industry award itself for a "job well done"...

"I won an oscar for best supporting role, playing the captain's peg leg, in Pirates Of The Carribean 12: The revenge of the Miffed Muffin with Green Bits In".... weee...

The plot line does have a sense of déjà vu if you think about it, till now all I had to go on was the teaser trailer and that looked really good. Then again teaser trailers tend to make movies look better than they possibly are. Guess time will tell?

ROFL!!!

Think it was on "Hollywood" where they said that the infected was in fact vampires.

>.<

Just hope that Will Smith makes this one worth while

Me too, the last good movie I saw with him in it, I think was Hitch?

wizardofid · Post by **wizardofid** » 26 Sep 2007, 18:32

Just a word of caution don't watch Knocked up with your parents
Some scenes are really gross and some can make you a little uncomfy due to the very sexual nature of the movie....

I got a cool bully, he wouldn't mind, probably enjoy it? My mom on the other hand...

Haven't seen this movie though? Is it new?

maestro_za · Post by **maestro_za** » 26 Sep 2007, 20:52

Knocked Up is new yes. I'm not sure it overshadows its spiritual successor "The 40 Year Old Virgin", but it has its moments.

On the Will Smith thing, Hitch was an excellant movie. A romantic comedy both guys and girls can watch and enjoy. I do hope that the "I Am Legend" movie is good. He hasn't been in too many flops to be honest, "Wild Wild West" being the exception.

I sure enjoy movies

Cheers

Ok well I'm downloading the HD trailer for Knocked Up now, will let you know when it's done... Otherwise I didn't think Wild Wild West was that bad, it too had its moments. Though Will Smith's best movie to date: Independance Day! :biggrin:

I sure do enjoy movies too!

maestro_za · Post by **maestro_za** » 26 Sep 2007, 21:11

Independance Day is a classic yes!

I'm a fan of "Enemy Of The State", Will Smith movie-wise. That is a very underrated film. "Ali" wasn't bad either.

Xiphan · Post by **Xiphan** » 26 Sep 2007, 21:13

I haven't seen Ali? Enemy of the State was brilliant! "Some people like to do that, I like to blend!" Him and that blender! lol That was a good movie. Getting a bit OT...

maestro_za · Post by **maestro_za** » 26 Sep 2007, 21:19

Ali is a biopic of Muhammed Ali's rise and fall as a heavyweight boxer. I must still add it to my DVD collection.

If it wasn't for Denzil Washington's fantastic performance in Training Day, I would think that perhaps Will Smith would've got the nod. He was that good in Ali.

Anyways, enough about Will Smith already

Xiphan · Post by **Xiphan** » 26 Sep 2007, 21:29

Ok you lost me?

Training Day? I hated that movie!

maestro_za · Post by **maestro_za** » 26 Sep 2007, 21:33

Soz.

Ali and Training Day both came out in the same year. Denzil Washington got the Oscar for best actor. I think Will Smith was nominated for his role in Ali.

Sorry for the confusion.

Xiphan · Post by **Xiphan** » 26 Sep 2007, 21:36

Ah... I see, I would have to see Ali before I could comment. It was strange to see Denzil portraying the role he did in Training Day so I can understand the Oscar... but otherwise I still didn't enjoy the movie!
