Wojo 2,453 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You would cheer on ET the remake!ET is a remake of Satyajit Ray's "The Alien, " or at least inspired by it sans credit, but we're not supposed to notice because it's only India.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 ET is Jesus? Hmm. I must forget the part where ET was born here and meant to die by design, not abandoned because he strayed too far from the ship. Or the part where he wanders the land openly bringing a message of love and peace. The ET I remember could barely walk, could barely talk, and lived in constant fear of being discovered. Jesus used alcohol as a metaphor for redemption, while ET used it for cheap burp jokes. ET performed miracles of spinning some balls in the air, growing plants, calling space with a child's toy, and bringing himself back to life. Oh yes, since ET comes back to life, he must be Jesus. Spock and Kirk are Christ too. But Jesus was killed using tried and true methods for crimes against the system, ET was simply experimented on for being different. But Jesus ascended according to myth. ET had to wait for his ride to come back, because they had forgotten him. Is ET a beautiful children story? Yes. Is it religious allegory? Keep reaching.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Really? It looks like a live action with CGI effects remake of an animated movie. Like Avatar.Tintin was more of a cartoon remake of a cartoon. I was expecting more of an origin story of Maleficent than a straight up retelling of her curse of Princess Aurora. Oh well.

Jay 37,568 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just watched the Maleficent trailer, looked pretty dumb, too CGI-heavy, and they shouldn't have put "Angelina Jolie Is" so far ahead of the film's title.Preview of the trailer for Daron Aaronofsky's Noahhttp://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=111342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 "Tease of the trailer" This whole "trailer of trailer" thing is getting stupider by the minute.

A24 4,374 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is getting unseen rave reviews. Believe it or not, but at this moment, it gets a 97% on RT! This means it's either a masterpiece or pure sh!t. Is it The Empire Strikes Back of the series? You be the judge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Heard it all before. It'll probably be an enjoyable film, nothing more, nothing less. The first was solid and quite memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,374 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I agree, Quint, but still, for a sequel, I didn't expect the numbers to be that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I want to see it partly because Lawrence is the first female actor I've felt have screen presence and real star quality since Sharon Stone. But even better Jennifer has the tough seductress look and acting chops to back it up without a reliance on slutiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
