It's going to be a green screen film. I haven't seen the Ralph Bakshi film but this one might be good.

It's going to be a green screen film. I haven't see the Ralph Bakshi film but this one might be good.

It's quite entertaining, but like most of fantasy films from the 80's, it can be extremly stupid and highly inconsistent. The animation can be breathaking at times, but then it can get really sloppy... It's a mixed bag.

I recently watched a 35mm copy of it on the big screen (awesome!) and it was a lot better than I remembered. It's a kind of film that it's meant to be seen on the big screen, although if you wanna watch it...



PS: Yay por Powell on HTTYD 2 and 3!

[Chaac]

I love the Frazetta look to that.

That kind of animation, when it's very well done, it's mindblowing. I tried to animate once in that manner like 3 or 4 seconds of a dinosaur using a cassowary video as a model I didn't even finish it, it's a pain in the ass.

[Chaac]

Apparently they changed stuff in the Usamerican version of The Pirates!

kurtzmand and orci have been assigned by Universal studios to write reboots of the Mummy and Van Helsing. Please somebody shoot these two hacks and save the world from their s*** writing.

[Quint]

A reboot of the fucking Mummy?

Someone get a gun! Get a gun and shoot it!

[Wojo]

Wasn't The Mummy with Brendan Fraser itself just an A-list reboot of the classic mummy movies that Universal made back in the days of black and white?

Give it a break, guys, Hollywood has run out of ideas.

[Quint]

Yeah, but fifty years had passed last time they rebooted it.

May as well reboot Harry Potter whilst we're at it.

[Wojo]

And only ten years or so will have transpired between "first installments" of their respective Spider-Man franchises by the time "The Amazing" hits theaters. Only by boycotting these repeat trips to the salad bar to feed us rotten cabbage can we hope to put a sizable dent in Hollywood's wallet.

I heard on a local radio station that Tom Cruise gave an interview recently where he declared that before Mission Impossible 5 hits theaters, we would be treated to Top Gun 2. Come on...

I agree, this is incredibly stupid. They should do a remake instead of wasting their time on a sequel.

[crocodile]

I caught a clip of Top Gun recently. There is something incredibly creepy about this film.

I must say my opinion of the Mummy has changed dramatically over the years. It's really a decent film and it has held up fairly well. At the least it can be viewed as a guilty pleasure. Of course the original has a mood and tone that is quite terrific but it is slowly paced and the ritalin affected generation cannot handle such.

I'm less bothered about another take of the Mummy as I am about Kurtzman and Orci, they are fking idiots and yet in such demand. I mean look at the utter crap the wrote for Star Trek and Transformers 2. Calling them idiots is an insult to idiots. People who think James Cameron cannot write ought to take a look at these two morons.

Clearly you don't watch Fringe

[Joey]

I do sometimes, but don't love it. besides they are not the writers for each episode.

[Alexcremers]

Clearly you don't watch Fringe

Who does? Don't they know we have quality TV shows these days?









Just kidding, never saw it.

[Koray Savas]

It recently got renewed for a 5th season, I believe.

[Alexcremers]

The Mentalist made it to 5 seasons but that doesn't mean I'm gonna watch it.




BTW, last night I watched eppy 7 from Game Of Thrones S1 and it's really on a roll now after a rather boring first 4 episodes.




Alex

[Quint]

I must say I don't think I was bored a single time during the first season. Season 2 has a couple of shaky episodes though, but then again the scope opens right up compared to s1 so it must be bloody difficult for the makers to keep the vision.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Yes, Fringe was renewed for a 5th and final season of 13 episodes, bringing the total episodes to 100.

It's a good show, especially post-season 1.

Alex

you watch a soap opera about men smoking cigarettes but you miss a compelling, humorous and well acted program like the mentalist. do you watch days of our lives as well.
funny how a show that nobody watched is so praised.

[Alexcremers]

The Mentalist is retard crap, Joe. I don't know anyone who can watch that show for more than 1 minute. To be clear, I don't watch shit like Castle, The Mentalist, The Closer, CSI Miami, NCIS Los Angeles, et cetera ...

[Jason LeBlanc]

Mentaly retarded?

[Joey]

instead you watch purile soap operas, I get it, they are more your speed. paint by numbers stuff.

[Alexcremers]

Soap operas? Like Neighbours? The Bold And The Beautiful? No, I don't like those at all so I guess Mad Men is a different beast after all.


Then again, TESB is often called a soap opera as well. It's one of the reasons why I still prefer Star Wars (1977).

[Joey]

Mad Men is a soap opera nothing more, with higher production values.

[Alexcremers]

That's what they say about Game Of Thrones. It's Dynasty with zombies. Mad Men is without these crude and enlarged dramatics and plays more like a subtle study about social and corporate life in the '60s. It's the little observations about life and human behaviour that make the show.

[Quint]

Didn't you mean Walking Dead, Alex?

[Alexcremers]

Didn't you mean Walking Dead, Alex?

I called that show Lost with zombies. Stopped watching it after S1. "Dynasty With Zombies" are not my words but I can see where it's coming from. 'The Houses' can be compared to the dynasties in Dynasty. Of course, the zombies would be the dead people walking in the forest beyond the great wall. I forgot how they are called. I've only seen them in the pilot episode.

[Quint]

Well, zombies don't instantly spring to mind when I think about GoT. I'm rather bemused that anyone would take that extremely minor aspect away with them after watching it. So far, I think those inflicted by the magic of the White Walkers have featured in under five minutes of total air time in a show which is now into its fifteenth episode.

It'd be like me saying Twin Peaks is a soap about murder and David Duchovny as a transexual FBI agent.

Basically, whoever said that about Game of Thrones is an idiot.

it's interesting only when january jones tries to act her way out of a paperbag. It's a wonder the beauty doesn't suffocate. You can bet that paperbad doesn't have a single tear in it.

Take any two episodes of the Mentalist and more people watched them than those who watched an entire season of mad men.

[Quint]

Actually, January Jones' Betty is one of the best, most beautifully nuanced performances by a woman I've seen in years. I think she is fantastic and definitely one of the show's main draws, character-wise. So drop-dead gorgeous; yet so desperately sad.

[Joey]

she is lovely to look at but I find her acting atrocious.

She is pretty eye candy in the X-men film-s(assuming she is in First Class part 2)

[Quint]

I felt like jumping into the telly and protecting her when Don SHOVED her nearly off her feet in the bedroom! Her authenticity makes me feel so sorry for the character. Hats off to the lady - she took that unnervingly realistic domestic incident very well, her face never betraying the tension of the moment.

[publicist]

What season?

[Quint]

Two.

[publicist]

Blank stare.

To release the topic i'll say that the SNOW WHITE movie will be a watershed moment for me: If JNH fucks up this one too, he will be officially out of my personal A-league.

[Quint]

Blank stare.

Come again?

[Joey]

he was describing January Jones facial expression for anger, or happiness, or sorrow, or joy, or humor.

[Alexcremers]

Basically, whoever said that about Game of Thrones is an idiot.

He also called it the greatest soap opera ever made. But you're right, you can't say "with zombies" if the dead people play such a minor role (Of course, there are no zombies in Dynasty so that's why he adds them in the title). Me calling The Walking Dead "Lost with zombies" is dead on though.


Anyway, I'm off to watch eppy 8 of GOT now.

[Quint]

Means fuck all to me though does it, coming from pub. The most pugnacious and contrary bore on here who only posts when he's found some something to sneer at. I'd rather read Josh500.
