A24 5,156 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 At least it looks like something else than the first one. Iron Man 3, that is.KarolI can't comment on the story but it looks the same in my eyes.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 spoiler alert, Thor doesn't die in thor 2, bummer.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 the trailer for Evil Dead is available, the last shot even bothered me.
Incanus 5,890 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 No, Thor is killed by Thanos.If there ever is going to be a movie based on the Thanos saga it will the most overblown and bloated piece of epicness ever committed on screen. The story can't get much bigger than that.
Incanus 5,890 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I only occasionally read comics but a good friend and a Marvel comics fan recommended that particular story (or series of stories) so I read it and really liked it if for nothing else than the sheer audacious scale of the tale.
Jay 46,244 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Wow. The Evil Dead remake looks really, really, really awful
Quintus 6,496 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Only compared to the original. Compared to the likes of Saw 27 and Hostel 19 it looks watchable. Modern gore movies which aren't coming from the torture porn angle are few and far between so I'll probably check this out at some point.The music in the trailer, now THAT was awful.
Naïve Old Fart 13,023 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Both "Argo", and "The Master" look interesting.
Jay 46,244 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Those are not future films, they opened in September
Naïve Old Fart 13,023 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Not in the UK, they did...I think...ooh, er...
A24 5,156 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Both "Argo", and "The Master" look interesting.What?! No Cloud Atlas for you?
Quintus 6,496 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Didn't that turn out to be a bit rubbish?
A24 5,156 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I don't know. I hear things like unconventional, experimental, bold. I'm definitely going to check it out.
Quintus 6,496 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 There's always the chance it'll be more Matrix and less Reloaded.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Tom Hanks in a rubbish movie? Perish the thought.
crocodile 9,724 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Wow. The Evil Dead remake looks really, really, really awful[media=] Looks hilarious.Karol
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 people who saw the original Evil Dead trailer said that film looks really really awful, or cheap.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 The thing about Evil Deads I and II, and to a lesser extent, Army of Darkness, is that the horror has become campy and corny by today's standards, but it's never really overwhelmingly frightening. The visual effects weren't advanced enough to be really disgusting or realistic, and so the movie relied on Ash's sharp tongue, camera/POV tricks, and goofy makeup to enact thrills.This remake/reboot looks like it's totally leaving all comedy behind, and going for completely realistic, over-the-top gross-out effects for sheer horror. I guess that's ok if you're into that kind of horror movie. I'm not, not really.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 It's Bruce Campbell approved and I recall reading that they put a lot of work in it and had the fans in mind.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 As I recall, Bubba-hotep was Bruce Campbell approved by virtue of Bruce Campbell being in it. And that was truly one of the worst movies I ever made the unfortunate decision to watch. But I'm willing to give this movie a shot.
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Conan will be back!http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=35606The first question that popped into my mind was: Who will do the score??
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Oh my God, he's way too old for this kind of thing. What would they do, CGI his head onto Momoa's body?
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I don't recall much humor in Evil Dead, but I do remember tons in Evil Dead II
Hurmm 104 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Indeed. Which is exactly why Evil Dead II is that much more awesome.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I like Evil Dead because at the time it was probably the scariest movie I'd ever seen. And to think people think blair witch or any of those parnormal shit videos are remotely scary. I'm so startled.
publicist 4,650 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 The thing about Evil Deads I and II, and to a lesser extent, Army of Darkness, is that the horror has become campy and corny by today's standards, but it's never really overwhelmingly frightening. The visual effects weren't advanced enough to be really disgusting or realistic, and so the movie relied on Ash's sharp tongue, camera/POV tricks, and goofy makeup to enact thrills.Visual effects in the 80's not advanced enough to be disgusting/realistic? I recall plenty of indexed slasher movies from the 80's with quite disgusting effects which also look quite realistic (whatever that's worth). As for campy and frightening, sado porn like SAW and HOSTEL isn't really about frights, but more about repulsion. So i'd wager the fright in a film is more defined by how apt it is in the 'something bad is about to happen' department, not in the 10 seconds of body-is-ripped-apart.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I'm sorry, but you landed on the wrong space on your jump to conclusions mat. I wasn't discussing all of the 1980s, simply the Evil Dead movies. And ok, I really only ever watched the second and third; I cannot remember if I bought the first movie on DVD or not, or if I bought it but just didn't watch it. But I found nothing realistic about thousands of gallons of fake blood pouring out of the walls in a cabin, and then disappearing squeaky clean five minutes later.
Quintus 6,496 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 The first and second movies are poles apart really. There was no humour in the original film, just horror and gore. And it was terrifying. The sequel turned it on its head of course and trumped it in just about every way, but the original still stands out as blazing the trail for the 18 Cert (R Rated) horror in the woods genre.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I need to pick it up this weekend. It's only 6.99 at Best Buy on blu.
publicist 4,650 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I'm sorry, but you landed on the wrong space on your jump to conclusions mat. I wasn't discussing all of the 1980s, simply the Evil Dead movies. You said the films were like this because the visual effects weren't advanced enough, so i took the chance to trash you thoroughly. Riposte!
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Yes, I feel thoroughly trashed.The board has a second Cremers, and his name is publicist.
Quintus 6,496 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 Btw My Name is Bruce is one of the worst movies of the last twenty years. It's worse than anything Uwe Boll has ever conjured from the black arts.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I'd like to see his FarCry movie but I don't think it'll do justice to the source material.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 The first game, specifically. I don't pay attention to the ways the original game was streamlined for the consoles.Additionally, FarCry 2 and the upcoming FarCry 3 have nothing to do story-wise with the first game. They simply share enough engine and gameplay traits that Ubisoft kept the same basic title. Crytek's game Crysis is more of the spiritual sequel to FarCry than FarCry 2 was, which was basically a GTA-type game in an open-world Africa setting -- mercanaries galore, but no island-hopping, mad scientists, or mutants. FC3 intrigues me.I'm only vaguely familiar with 2. Got it free with PS+ and only played it for like an hour.2 was crap. 1 was good until I had to use cheat codes because the level of difficulty got impossible, and the "checkpoint" system made me stop playing for months on end.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I'm only vaguely familiar with 2. Got it free with PS+ and only played it for like an hour.
Quintus 6,496 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 Bruce gets head on a plane? Good to see they ditched the PG rating then.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 A film that has no reason to exist. If it's as good as the last one it will be very bad.
hornist 1,261 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 How original it is to use Beethoven's ninth in a trailer with that bold idiot. And put an extra heavy drumset there to be even funnier.Yes, awesome.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I don't understand what you mean by bold idiot. Bruce Willis? He is awesome.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 It's a trailer, how many times to I have to explain Marketing101 in here?
Brónach 1,330 Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Does that mean I have to like the drumset?I am not talking about the film. I am talking about the trailer.
