'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I agree. Why not release the film and then release a 3d version later. People will watch it, probably overseas.
I like that one of the execs is like, "Look how Titanic in 3D did!" Um, that's because IT'S TITANIC. A pile of shit in 3D is not going to make significantly more money than a pile of shit in 2D.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum!!!
Although I learned this line from Duke Nukem, it is an all-time great, extremely purposeful movie line.
A pile of shit in 3D is not going to make significantly more money than a pile of shit in 2D.
Yeah, but a 3D pile of shit is going to look more impressive than a 2D pile of shit.
Or maybe "impressive" is the wrong word. Maybe the word I'm thinking of is "taller".
I was actually looking forward to the new G.I. Joe (why did my autocorrect not recognize G.I. ? It kept changing it to B.C.) because it looks like they were actually trying to do right by the fans of the original show (the costumes and vehicles look great) but I'm not crying with outrage about it getting pushed back.
I do agree that 9 months to 3D-ify it sounds like a cover for other problems, though.
And another site pointed out that pushing it back this close to release completely screws over the merchandising, as apparently the tie-in toys are already showing up in stores.
Yeah, but a 3D pile of shit is going to look more impressive than a 2D pile of shit.
Especially when it comes flying right out of the screen at you.
G.I. Joe - now with 50% more monkeys!
ita !, so Haywire is worth the viewing? Dan and I have been thinking about seeing it, because it looked pretty decent in trailers.
Good fight/action sequences?
Also, Red 2?! SQUEEEEEE!!!!!! I'm sure it's not new to some peeps, but D just told me there would be a sequel; I looooved Red. So much. So much...
The fights in Haywire are great, IMO. Gina Carano is an MMA star, after all. The story itself isn't brilliant but i really enjoyed the movie.
I was meh on Haywire.
Spend 45 years watching people shaped like you get rescued by action heroes, and you'll be pretty damn grateful for Gina Carano...
They're making RED 2? That is fabulous news.
yay yay yay!
