My exact thoughts.
[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread
- Thread starter Adam
- Start date
Did they mean to add that 'Unlock Lady Lisa at DojoQuest.com' frame at 1:38? Very weird and annoying.
ditto
You've seen it, YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT!
Wakkm wakkm wakkm LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS wakkm wakkm wakkm.
I just read the the synopsis. Want to know why Adam Sandlers character fight against the invasion, what makes him so special? Because he was a 1980s arcade champion and he is the friend of the president played by Kevin James. Dinklage and Josh Gad help them because they are retrogamer. I have the feeling that Gad as a 20 something will be some kind of internet reviewer and to be honest this movie feels like it was written by one.
Oh and before somebody else calls me out on it, Iwatani is portrait by an actor.

And that was all I needed to see. A 90 minute movie was unnecessary.
Stupid subliminal ad. Made me think something cool might be in the blip but no it's just an "ad" for the game the movie is going to invent.
I wonder if she'll bump into Adam Sandler's character somewhere in the movie?

The comments are great.
"If they marketed it as the sequel to The Wizard, people might actually see it."
"If you die in the hastily produced Adam Sandler movie, you die in real life!"
"After seeing this post, I watched the trailer for this movie. What's it called when you throw up so much you lose 3 inches of height?"
"Leave it to Adam Sandler to take a funny video and ruin it by turning it into a comedy."

My friend was asking me about Pixels earlier today, and I was about to say "When was the last time Adam Sandler did anything good?" and then I remembered Hotel Transylvania (which, oddly enough, has Kevin James in it as well)... How the hell was Hotel Transylvania any good?
Director: Genndy Tartakovsky
oh... Well, then, who is directing Pixels?
Director: Chris Columbus
Huh...
Following that IMDB page for Chris Columbus (who, to his credit, did work on some good films, like Mrs. Doubtfire and Harry Potter), I found this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2918116/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_1
I...thought that wasn't being strongly considered. I only have this to say:

Well *CLAP* I know what I'm not paying money to see! Couldn't get the real creator of Pac-man, don't give a shit.
Edit: They got an actor playing the creator of Pac-man. Dude is alive, if they couldn't get him they shouldn't have put him in the story. ALSO- cars aren't ghosts, they are cars.

Sometimes 60 year old japanese men don't want to appear in shitty Adam Sandler movies. There's plenty of reasons to dislike this movie, having an actor play the part of a real person (which happens literally all the time in movies, that's what movies are) isn't one of them.
Chris Columbus is a fucking hack. The first two Harry Potter movies are unwatchable.
Hey, they may not be great, but you can still put them on and hit play and then view them with your eyyAAAAHHHHHH
I can't really criticize the first two HP movies because I don't remember them. Which may be damning in itself, because I last saw them eight years ago, and there are other movies I only watched once back then that I remember pretty well.
Hotel Transylvannia was okay, but it would have been great if they had cast pretty much any other ensemble. The visual gags and physical comedy was extremely well done, but a lot of the dialogue fell flat, and you could tell they gave the Happy Madison gang too much free reign over it. I would have loved to see that movie as it had originally been marketed. Right after Surf's Up came out, Hotel Transylvannia was my most anticipated animated movie.
Hey! Come on now, everyone! Let's not be so negative. Instead, let's try to think of other Futurama segments that would produce a better, more fully fleshed out movie than this!
To start us off, how about a movie with a league of robot fighters/boxers?
Oh wait, right.
Ok, ok, let's switch to holiday movies, what about a murderous Santa Claus?
What do you mean it has been done?
OK! A robot that goes back in time to kill a specific human that will thwart it's masters sometime in the fut- OH GODDAMNIT!
This is harder than I thought...

... but he also produced the third, which is one of the better ones. And he directed Mrs. Doubtfire, and got writer's credit on the original Goonies movie AND the original Gremlins movie.

Except for Dumbledore's stupid dream speech with camera push. Barf. I really wanted to walk out.
Reminder that producers have exactly zero (0) input to the creative direction of the movie. Alfonso Cuaron is a god.
And Mrs. Doubtfire is fucking horrible
And Mrs. Doubtfire is fucking horrible
Tell that to Sam Rami in regards to Spider-Man 3.
Studio executives =\= producers.
Oh my God, I finally found someone else who thought Mrs. Doubtfire was terrible. I actually went out and sat in the car while my family finished this movie in the theater.
I don't know, that looks pretty badass to me. If there's another trailer to reveal a little bit of the story, this might be a theatre-going movie for me.
True story, a minor earthquake struck Taiwan (I'd say magnitude 3 or 4 at most) while I was watching this trailer. Around the time they descended down into the cloud layer.
Felt like the most... realistic... trailer... EVER!!
EDIT: Just checked the government website, it was magnitude 6 at the epicenter, around magnitude 3 in Taipei, where I'm located. I know you all can sleep better now knowing this information.
Space Whaling! That's the Futurama episode that would make a better movie than Pixels! Why didn't I think of that?
To be fair, that movie does look interesting and I, too, would like a bit more info on the plot.

Heh, "Simpsons Did It 2: 'That's like that one episode of Futurama.'"
