I'm still waiting for my Justice League Unlimited / Dinner Impossible crossover. I want Robert Irvine chewing out Flash for cutting all of the onions wrong, before he even finished speaking.
Huh...an animated sequel based on a Legendary films monster movie. Why does that sound familiar-
...and now I feel cautious about the sequel.
Ugh, that fucking show.
and Godzoooookiiiiiiiii
NO.

NO.
He was the Scrappy-Doo of kaiju.
Slightly cautiously optimistic.
Because if it does really, really well, then there's a slight chance we might get a shot at a Haunted Tank movie.
And I could possibly get behind that, if done well.

AMC is having an Apes double feature, showing Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Thursday evening, then Dawn presumably at midnight. I'd love to go for it, but it being a work night isn't gonna fly.
Not to mention, I can just watch Rise on Blu Ray the day before instead of sitting in a theater for five hours. And I'll probably do that, since I'm in the mood to watch it again in anticipation of the new movie.

THAT'S A LOT OF APES! #KungPowReferenceForTheWin
Is it wrong that, even though I re-watched Rise only a month or two ago that I want to watch it again in preparation for Dawn?
If it's wrong, then we're in the same boat. Just watched Rise in April or May.
As someone who has seen every Planet of the Apes movie, old and new, I will tell you that that movie sucked.
You should definitely watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I obviously can't vouch for Dawn as it hasn't come out yet, but Rise is great. When it came out, I was making fun of it because the trailer sucked. But then the good word of mouth started spreading, especially here at Halforums with people saying how surprisingly good it was, so I thought, what the hell, I'll give it a shot. I was stunned; it was excellent, emotional, a great story with great characters. Then I started bugging my wife about seeing it, and she refused and refused. Finally my cousin got it for me on Blu Ray for Christmas, so my wife didn't have a choice. When it ended, I looked at her for reaction. Staring at the screen, she mutters, "Okay, I was wrong, it was really good."
Do you understand? It got my wife to admit she was wrong. That's how good Rise is.
She was going to see Dawn with me before that because she's a big fan of Gary Oldman, but now she's also seeing it because she wants to see what happens next.Dawn is also getting a lot of positive reviews, even though I don't think the trailers look that great. I'm seeing it because Rise was good and hopefully Dawn will also surpass its trailers.

Rise was awesome, watch it. I'm pretty hyped for Dawn.

I had the chance to study some of Frederic Wertham's work in a course on comics and cartoons some years back. Even if he was incredibly wrong and arguably set the comic book industry back by a decade or two, it's still incredibly fascinating. Of course, the biggest thing that Wertham's contribution caused was the creation of the Comics Code Authority, which only in the last ten years was finally done away with by the industry.
I should note that this movie is actually already out...digitally. You can buy it cheap for $6.99 at Sequart's site:

A film that was made over 12 years. Basically they took a young boy and filmed him for 12 years, actually growing up while you watch. This was just released in "certain theaters" which means usually New York and Los Angeles. But it's scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and looks amazing.
The following is a 3 and a half minute episode of Youtube series Dick figures.
The preceding is a trailer for a Hollywood movie.
So...yeah I am not watching this.

And I am dreading- DREADING- the " I didn't know that was a thing when I wrote this script" speech if the writer gets called out on it. Doesn't that just piss you off? Its like fuckin' Soul Suspect up in this bitch.
hahaha, that stupid and unfunny (I lasted 15 seconds before I bailed) 5 million view youtube thing in all likelihood has absolutely nothing to do with the long-done comic premise of morons impersonating cops for comedic effect.
It's extremely likely that whoever made "Let's Be Cops" has never seen or heard of that dumb youtube series, along with everyone else in the visible universe.

I have to agree here. The premise is pretty standard, it's not like no ones ever done it before.
Just because a work shares similar setups or themes with another does not mean its derivative.
Also, that stars Damon Wayans JR? God I feel old...
Trailer for new Studio Ghibli movie, When Marnie Was There (may have to turn on English captions)
Who else is excited for the 50 Shades of Grey trailer dropping tomorrow!!!!
It's amazing how far Twilight BDSM fan-fiction has come.
Nightcrawler (no, not X-Men)
Jake Gyllenhaal looks fucking intense, like Christian Bale in American Psycho intense.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a-NOTHER loose adaptation of Journey to the west. And by loose I mean loooooooooooose.
The name also mislead me, I was hoping it was a feature length version of that Fox Kids show.

Wow. Even Dragonball was more faithful to Journey to the West than that trailer was.
I know they SAY in the description that it's based off of Journey to the West, but from the description and the trailer, I can't see ANYTHING that has in common with JttW except Sun Wukong was hatched from a rock, and that guy is..made.. of... rock? I guess? Also, gorillas aren't monkeys. Unless that synopsis is from a book I haven't read or heard of (which is possible- there's a lot of stories in JttW), it feels like they're name-checking to get attention.
That's an incredibly shitty trailer for what looks like an incredibly shitty movie. I mean, seriously, what the fuck.

The latest from Kevin "Would You Please Just Go Away!?" Smith:
The latest from Kevin "Would You Please Just Go Away!?" Smith:
That may have been the most conflicted trailer I've ever seen.
At first, parts of it feel like his usual dumbshit character comedy, interspliced with stuff that could be a drama or building up to a horror movie.
Then when it gets to "this is a horror movie" we still have it trying to portray stuff from the dumbshit comedies, like slapstick and lines like "I don't wanna die in Canada" that are obviously supposed to be funny.
Just ... what the fuck? Pick your genre. There are horror-comedies, and some really great ones, but they're usually played as comedies with horror trappings, not a zig-zag between Kevin Smith comedy and The Human Centipede.
Wow, I like Kevin Smith movies generally. Hell, I even liked "most" of Red State (fuck the ending, so shitty). That looks terrible. Like, really terrible.
You know, I've enjoyed a good chunk of what Kevin Smith has made. I've also enjoyed his podcasts. I enjoyed the podcast where he and Scott Mosier first came up with the idea of this film.
This trailer...feels like there's the chance he may have missed the mark a bit.
I feel like he wanted to parody The Human Centipede with something ridiculous like this, and maybe it's just the trailer, but it plays it a little too straight in some scenes, which makes the goofy shit really awkward and not funny.
