Just watching it in the small window I wouldn't say that it had better effects, but I can certainly say T2 wasn't made on an advertising budget.
Getting in a huff about a movie based on a teaser trailer containing zero actual footage is a bit silly if you ask me.
Me too.

I liked The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
As for that teaser... I'm just going to pretend that it's for a parody movie.
You guys do realise that there won't be any iron thrones in the actual film, right?
The newest addition to X-Men: Apocalypse is Olivia Munn as Psylocke.

She has a career still? She was on the Daily Show for like 3 episodes (each weeks apart) and then she just kinda vanished.
She was on all three seasons of Newsroom.
Oh God what? Why? She's fucking awful.

Ryan Reynolds was in a minor accident in Vancover while filming Deadpool.
He refuses to talk to the CBC unless they bring Beachcombers back.
Sweet Bea Arthur, that's hilarious. Sounds like Reynolds is having a blast finally being able to make this dream movie.

Good. I'm glad to know that even if the movie ends up being NewRoboCop levels of steaming poo, at least I can look forward to Reynolds' performance.

Same. I'm not exactly a Ryan Reynolds fan, but the level of dedication he's had in getting this off the ground makes me want to see it.
No shit, I'm saying they should be ashamed for trying to piggy back off of Game of Thrones so shittily.[DOUBLEPOST=1428982844,1428982654][/DOUBLEPOST]
Now, I'm doubly convinced of it's hotmessness.
Holy fuck even if the movie actually looked good I'd be avoiding it based on the shittiness of this teaser and what they're doing. I'm sure Emilia Clarke cannot be happy with this.

Yes, and it doesn't matter. It's a cheap tie-in, which would be hilarious for something like The Muppets, but is just plain stupid for an action film.
Because a number of us were interested in it and we'd rather the CGI be good--I don't see how preferring good special effects is a strange concept.
I was planning to see it and I'm probably still going to.
An author of a book with some apparent similarities to Cabin In The Woods is suing Whedon and Lionsgate for a shitload of cash.
James Gunn sums up basically every GotG question he was asked at the Age of Ultron screening:
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want. So I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
NOT. THAT.
Gunn has fooled us all, he used GotG to finance his true masterwork, Spice World 2: The Spiciest.

2016: A Spice Oddessy
Most of the "similarities" are stuff you see in a lot of movies (*gasp* scenes of college aged kids drinking alcohol in both! Characters in a horror movie can't get reception on their mobiles! RIP-OFF). Oh yeah and the book supposedly being ripped off was self-published. Getting a distinct whiff if Nancy Stouffer here.
I should sue the creators of The Big Bang Theory for stealing Dill.

Or he could combine both, in the sci-fi muscial masterpiece: Dune Girls- The Spice Must Flow
Yeah this kind of thing happens a lotn there were like 8 books about orphan boys with similar descriptions who find out they are actually wizards and go to an all wizard school right around the time JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter.
And in this case, both are parodying well established tropes of a specific genre. Of COURSE they are going to have similar elements. You can't really write a pastiche/ homage of college kid horror style movies and NOT have those tropes represented.
The most only somewhat surprising thing in there is the name similarity, and even that is basically nothing. It's a pretty typical name.
But this will get that guy's book more publicity.
Hey Nick, I'm going to make a movie about a pangolin detective named Gill. Sue me, and we'll settle out of court and split the extra sales money. I'm not greedy, we'll go 80/20.
