Sez you.

>>34655
Actually, I do need to thank you guys, you get it.

Horror films are mostly horrible because they go for the cheap "pop out of the closet and scream boo" scare. Shaky Cam didn't help it, but it wasn't the cause of death

>>34658
I beg to differ, Shaky cams were where Horror fell apart, you still get occasionally good horrors that understand and oh hey "pop out of the closet and scream boo" is a huge part of the good ones, Splinter for example.

You only said one word there that's right, "cheap."

It's about suspense, not the boo every time, but sometimes, and SOMETHING to be afraid of, real or not.

Shaky Cam is as cheap as ANYTHING can EVER get and with shaky cam there is zero suspense because there is ALWAYS something there or even worse something there we have no reason to be afraid of which is almost always the case, when is Shaky Cam good? when it's least shaky and we've got a good idea what's happening.

The Parasites in Cloverfield? THAT SHIT WAS SUSPENSEFUL, that movie was fucking HORRENDOUS, but those 10 minutes NAILED IT, but Shaky Cams are for the most part so fucking terrible they drag the whole genre down by the boot straps, for every ten minutes of Parasites there is the rest of Cloverfield or a Paranormal Activity.

>>34659
I don't even associate shaky cam all that much with horror films. There's Cloverfield, the Paranormal Activity films, and the original and American version of REC, but what else?

Most of the horror films I see is usually the same bullshit in every other horror film: family thinks they're alone, but they're not; a little boy or girl can communicate with ghosts or is possessed by one; every scare is just the background music getting unspeakably loud whenever it zooms in on something it thinks is scary, but is actually laughable. . . I swear they're all the same now.

>>34661
That you don't mention Blair Witch, the greatest culprate of atrociousness shaky cam movies is proof enough that you got nothing on the subject.

And yeah THEY ARE ALL THE FUCKING SAME NOW, That's what I'm getting at.

We don't have any good horror anymore, mainstream horror died July 30th 1999.

>>34662
I blocked that movie out of my mind and everyone should too.

In all honesty, I completely forgot about that film. Jesus, that was a terrible movie. Just a bunch of teenage turds cussing in the woods and then dying off in the last five minutes.

I hate it when screenwriters just have their characters shout nothing but F-bombs, because they think it's authentic. It gets so fucking repetitive. And I especially hate it when comedy writers do it, because they think it's funny. That's one of the reasons why comedy films suck nowadays.

>mfw Eraserhead
I'm not entirely certain what just happened, but it was quite a thing. I hesitate to say I liked it, as it feels awkward to say I liked something which made me feel so thoroughly uncomfortable, but it certainly had an effect on me, and I completely respect it.

>>34662
>>34663
I have to admit, Blair Witch Project is something of a sentimental favorite, as it was one of the first horror films I ever saw in theaters. However, I acknowledge that it has numerous problems, and it definitely opened the doors for much of the 'lazy horror' that has since dragged down the genre.
And I actually like the sequel better anyway, because if nothing else, it at least tried harder.

>>34665
God Eraserhead, the family dinner is just gonna be with me forever.

>>34663
I think the whole concept of "teenage assholes are partying out in the middle of wherever" needs to stop. Not even so much a deal of something done more now than earlier; more so a deal of being over done.

And what are some ways that the horror genre can be revitalized? I can't say myself as I'm a pansy and can barely sit through a lot of horror, but somebody out there has to have it in their mind to bring back the genre.

>>34657
This movie was a damn good watch.

I get a kick out of the fact this project keeps going

It's hard to take any other horror films seriously after Cabin in the Woods anyway.

Imma guess I'm the only one who enjoyed Boogeyman, Darkness Falls, Mirrors...

>>34672
It's hard to take ANY MOVIE seriously after Cabin Fever.

>>34673

The best Friday The 13th movies have you rooting against Jason, i.e. 3, 6 and 7.

>>34674
Stupid bullshit like Slenderman.

>>34675
Wait, but Cabin Fever and Cabin in the Woods are different movies...unless you're making a funny, in which case ignore me.

But you should see Cabin Fever if you haven't, that movie is magic.

My automatic response to "so-and-so isn't good anymore" is "so-and-so was never good."

We've always had jump scares and cheap musical ques. We've always had handfuls of unlikeable teens decimated for fun and profit. Before there was CGI, there were discount rubber masks.

I'll acknowledge that we might not have a contemporary equivalent of, say, John Carter's The Thing, but that doesn't mean the entire genre is done for. That whole mindset, regardless of what it's applied to, is pretentious as hell.

>>34826
>John Carter's The Thing
John CARPENTER, fuck. Though I don't doubt that he's been to Mars.

>>34827
John Carter VS The Thing.

>>34826

This is true. All CGI does is make it easier for the typical no-talent hack of Hollywood to assume that since you can computer generate a monster you can make anything on screen seem plausible.

Heck if anything I'd argue horror has benefited by modern audiences being less uptight about shit.

Yea you know how you all go on about universal's Frankenstein and Dracula being a classic? Be fortunate you saw the uncut version released years after the original theatrical release where shit was cut left and right even if it didn't make any goddamn sense.

And yes puppets and animatronics are awesome but the only difference between a puppet and a CGI effect in my brain is that when they're done well I go "that's a pretty good puppet" vs "that's a pretty good CGI effect". I'm legitimately fooled by both about as much as either one so I don't really care either way.

And hell I'd argue puppetry isn't what makes good movies with puppetry good. You think the Thing was good because it used models and animatronics? NO! If we SAW any of those electronics out in the light and watched the antarctic crew fiddle around with them they'd look plenty cheap and fake. What MADE The Thing's effects good was the atmosphere, lightning, and general pace. It never showed you enough of The Thing that you got a full view of it, and when you did get a view of it, it was either in shadow or there was a strobe effect so you only caught glimpses of it. THAT'S good special effects, not fucking puppets or slamming your fist on a computerized keypad for 20 hours. Knowing what to DO with those things matters, and the only fault you could give hollywood is that they look at what computers can do and go "WOW LOOK AT ALL THIS SHIT WE CAN DO WITH COMPUTERS" and they never think to do good practices with them, looking to show off special effects rather than use them subtly. Which can work in an action film but IS cancer to a horror movie, no matter what era you're in.

Saying "CGI is the cancer killing movies and glorious practical effect race" is both maligned and ignorant because you're essentially undermining the work that goes into making CGI effects and that's just fucking wrong. You're the same kinda asshole who thinks that drawing with a Paint Program and tablet is "cheating" and that there's some kind of mystical 'make good art' button on those things that people can just press, sit back and watch happen. That horribly undercuts the work that goes into the CGI and special effects production of modern movies and paints modern effect designers as a bunch of hacks.

AND YES there are re-useable resources in many of these programs. There are re-useable fire effects and water effects and monster images that can be tweaked and such, but here's the thing: practical effects has those as well and those have been used just as much. Hell one of the most common practices for old shlock horror titles was LITERALLY just going into the backlots of other movies and using old costumes that weren't being used anymore. That's why a lot of them had gorilla like monsters in those movies, because EVERY studio had a gorilla suit.

So yes. Lazy and unproductive movie makers can use lazy and unproductive methods to make lazy and unproductive movies. This has been happening since the dawn of Hollywood and will continue on for quite some time. Don't like it? Well get use to it.

Agreed.
I can't say I'm particularly convinced by either, and I'm not sure what people see in goo riddled latex dolls above modern renders.

>gwoemul

That's Korean for "Monster". That's a pretty uninspired title for a pretty good movie.

>>34829
>>34831
Well I'm not sure if I'm the only one who notices a change on lighting and contrast when they need to make CGI-heavy monster movies. I find it a bit harder to get involved if the movie looks like a cutscene from a videogame. Also, since CGI makes it easier to use wholly new camera angles and effects, the directors sometimes don't seem to think if they SHOULD, in a horror movie.

Granted animatronics often fail anyway (ughhhh why did every monster blink and wave their ears slowly when they roared/growled/howled etc), but sometimes it helps that they're on actual film (like the slimy first zombie on Night of the Living Dead). Also can't disregard effects like in Hellraiser or Ghostbusters.

Strangely Warrior was more tear jerking than I was expecting. Something about failed dads always gets me.

All of James Cameron's human villains suck.

To be fair...Billy Zane sucks in general.

Thanks to the Tearaway trailer, I can't stop listening to this song.

>>mfw finally watching Leon/The Professional

I don't have a proper manly tears enough reaction image for this film. And my god, Natalie Portman, this and Black Swan more than make up for those Star Wars prequels.

Someday I want a "thinking man's Expendables" with a deep plot and actors like Jean Reno and Bruce Willis and that guy who played Machete, all of who can actually act, but also cars exploding and guys getting the shit beaten out of them. If only.

>>34883
This reminds me. I'm pretty hyped for Expendables 2 - if it doesn't turn out to be the best movie of the year, they failed big time, in my opinion - but they really needed to have Bolo Yeung playing a bad guy in it, if they don't already. Maybe that chinese guy who tortured Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon, too.

I suppose hey could save Danny Trejo, Steven Seagal and Lorenzo Lamas for a third one.

Also, getting Clint Eatwood on it because he was born for badass stuff. Screw those "Oscar" movies, man.

Just got back from Rifftrax Live. It was awesome.

>>34885
I'm in a weird place because I want an action movie where the actors are as good at acting as they are at beating people up, with a plot that's deep and makes you think and cry, but I also want cars exploding and giant robot dinosaurs and other campy things in the same film, and I don't know if Hollywood can make that happen.

>>34896

>>34899
Ooh, Del Toro. I liked the Hellboy movies, so I might give this a shot.

>>34899
Okay, I understand where we might get fetuses, but how is he going to work corpses under clear sheets into a Giant Robots vs. Giant Lizards movie?

>>34901
It's a movie about war between giant robots and kaiju. There's room for collateral.

Should I watch other kaiju movies before this and the new Ghibli movie come out? It's not a genre I've gotten into yet.

>>34906
>Ghibli Kaiju
What? Where!?

>>34908
There's a trailer out for it, it's their first live-action movie. The designs look very Mononoke, but I think it's more a case of same designer than same universe.

>>34909
Did a bit of digging. It looks like a prequel to Nausicaa, featuring an army of very Anno-esque God Warriors laying waste to Tokyo, all done completely with miniatures and no CGI. It looks absolutely bone-chilling:

>>34899

>>34913
The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth... he sets a lot of his movies on the spanish civil war for whatever reason. It's just majorly boring for me.

It's Julie Andrews, nothing mixed there.

>>34948
It's the fact that this only struck me now that's part of why I feel knocked out of sorts. A week ago, if someone had mentioned Mary Poppins, it'd have conjured hazy but happy childhood memory. Now I'm having naughty thoughts involving her wearing a bustier and garterbelts.

>>34949
I only thought about that angle after I stumbled across this phone wallpaper in the Google search. Had thought about it in general due to a old piece of fiction involving her and her umbrella and a little too much medicine.

The only downside to Paranorman was that hearing The White Stripes again rekindled my lingering grumpiness over them breaking up. It felt like Jack White started seven different other bands, all of them good in different ways, just to abandon them for new ones.

Twin Peaks is giving me a serious jonesing for doughnuts.

Is that the new Sam Raimi movie? I was thinking of watching when it comes out here, his last horror movie I saw creeped me out but good, despite the silly moments. :/

>>35034
He's co-producer, not writer or director.

>>34115
Sooo last monday I actually payed to watch it (guess that makes me partof the problem), and... the new Total Recall IS a remake. They actually acknowledge it in the end credits, and the movie makes numarous references/jokes about the original (that was probably my favorite thing about it). As it turns out, it's a LOT less like the original short story - I read it and rewatched the original again.

The movie turned out too long for its own good in my opinion, specially for the smaller scope, lost some of the sci-fi aspect, and damn it looked colorless. I guess that's one of my main problems with CGI-heavy movies these days, they use these cold colors filters that make everything lifeless (I believe Sneaky Tiki already said that). I had trouble sometimes figuring out which were the police "cars" during a chase sequence, adn they still were black and white, for crying out loud. The final sequence was a bit closer to late 90s action movies' endings, so that at least kinda worked for me. Oh yeah, and I hate this thing where in any futuristic sci-fi nowadays they just HAVE to make the computers, etc a bunch of floating hologram windows, and everyone seems to just know which window to slide to the side and shit... but that's just me being grumpy I guess, doesn't look good for me and I forgot to complain about it in Amazing Spider-Man.

Also rewatching the original... nowadays it does look kinda campy at times (that one scene where Quaid takes off the disguise and the cops stop to watch in awe, then he throws it to them and they just stop, looking at it), and in some parts it even looks like a made-for-tv movie (like the first cab Quaid takes, or the scene where it explodes
). Still more fun to watch though, I guess.

...AT LAST IT HAD COLORS! AND MONITORS!

Oh yeah, and Kate Beckinsale still looked amazing on the remake, they pulled off some neat futuristic ideasand effcts, and they did pull off some Blade Runner look on the Colony, gotta give them that one. It was an ok movie I guess, but I suppose I'd do well to mostly stay away from remakes of stuff from the 80s-90s.

>>35037
Ah, right, thanks. So, does it suck majorly or is it any good?

>In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0, it’s described “a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.” Then they show a focus group scene where criminals laugh at the design. “He looks like a toy from the ’80s!” So they redesign him to look “meaner” as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus group approval.

>They outsource his construction to China.

>Someone shows Pope, head of the OCP project, some mock-ups for Robocop action figures. “Are you kidding? I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!”

So, a there's a bit of that. As for the callbacks, I don't mind much - they were probably my favorite things about the Total Recall remake.

And the guy who wrote the site article got it wrong on
>Reading his comments, I’m surprised at the comparison to the Total Recall remake. Len Wiseman‘s remake is as bland and pointless as it gets, but its only winking callback to the original is the three-breasted hooker
There were some other references, can't believe he missed it.

Joel Kinnaman better be able to do the roboto like Weller.

Basically, Dredd 3D is the best action movie this year and everyone on this board should go watch it if they have any love for any 80s action movie.

So watching Merlin and I can't find anything good about any character except all the bad ones. I swear Arthur, Merlin, Gaius, and Ugar are biggest assholes in the series. It's like this is going to lead up to a, "They got what was coming."

>>35293
Previews showed it looked pretty much like The Raid. Does that compassion stand up to the movie itself.

>>35299

I'd say it's much more a cross between the punchy violence and dystopian hard-law feel of Robocop with the aesthetics of Blade Runner. The visuals and the sound really compliment each other, all the characters are solid, no lines are wasted and the plot is perfectly packaged.

I can honestly, hand on heart, say you wouldn't regret a purchase; the trailers did it no justice at all. Also, your friends will think you're actually movie-savvy if you take them with you and will give you lots of praise/sex (if that's what you want).

Horror isn't dead, but Texas Chainsaw Massacre sure is.

Texas Chainsaw 3D - Official Trailer (HD)

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It's awesome. Dunno much about u.s. history, but that movie is my head canon now.

>>35293
The trailer really has a bit of a nice old-school feel. If only I can find a theater playing the 2D version around here...

>>35302
C'mon, just do an Ed Gein story, he's a thousand times scarier than anything based on him.

The Fibonaccis - "Old Mean Ed Gein"

Welp, new Muse album kind of sucks. It ranges from mediocre to shit, with Muse - The 2nd Law: Unsustainable being the worst offender.
Second year in a row I've been disappointed with an album from a band I really enjoyed listening to (Suck It and See by Arctic Monkeys being last year's).

This might be my favorite Kubrick movie.

After going to my second concert, I've decided it's best to look up the playlist and listen to the songs you don't remember first, otherwise you'll have no idea what the lyrics are when you hear them.

Also, fuck the mezzanine, everyone in it insisted on standing up the entire time.

>Listening to deadmau5

I hear a song or two and think that I might enjoy the rest of the album, but it ends up being the opposite. This new album's a lot better than the previous one, at least, but eh.

>Catching up on Warehouse 13
>SUDDENLY MOTHERFUCKING DATA AND HE'S A PRIEST
Shit this series has the best cameos.

>>35408
You know, it's certainly not the best written show, but it's the chemistry between the characters that make me love it. Well, that and Claudia. And speaking of adorable sidekicks, Kinzie is pretty much the single reason I watch "Lost Girl".

>>35410
Yea its the same reason that I can still watch NCIS NCIS LA (O'Donnell and LL play off each other very well) Leverage, Psych etc shows that somehow have a cast that connects with each other. Flip side of that is what I see from Hawaii Five O which just feels awkward disjointed most the time.

Lone Ranger Trailer | Official…

I'm not sure about this one.

>>35410
Warehouse is a fun show that can do enough mixture between humor, sci-fi, and drama to keep it from getting boring. And agreed on Claudia being cute as hell. In this episode when she started changing in the elevator I was all HELLO. Yeah, she had a bra on, and it still only showed above the nipple, buck fuck she's cute AND hot. :3

Did someone say Claudia?

I'm pretty sure someone said Claudia...

>>35416
Claudia

>>35293
Dammit, I was going to go see it last week, but moved it back and now the theaters have already stopped showing it.

>>35432
Already? Wow.

It's good. I never read the comic to know if that's how it's shown, but I like it that the future they shown in the movie isn't full of overly flashy stuff and holograms, it's sort of a retro future. Gets literally a bit slow at times (guess they were milking the 3D factor), but overall, pretty good action.

(Sort of actual spoiler)
I actually expected the slo-mo drug to be used by the bad guys to put up a fight... :(

There needs to be a web series where they explain revivals coming out, sans spoilers, for people who never saw/played/read/whatever the first one, like "What is...Dredd 3-D (For Those Who Never Saw The First One)". That was the reason I didn't go see it myself, although the trailer made it look kinda cool.

>>35434
It's based on a british comic book. It doesn't really fit together with the 90s movie, I think, the scenery is pretty different, so you don't really need to have watched it.

It has a bonus over the other movie and most comic book movies, in that the main character doesn't spend half the movie without the helmet/mask.

Oh look, John Mclane is back.
A Good Day to Die Hard - OFFIC…

>>35438
I'm still waiting for him to do a sequel called Die Already.

>mfw I see Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas's score on RT

But this made it into the Criterion Collection!

No one wants to see Dredd with me.

Red Dwarf X is wonderful so far, and we're only one episode in.

>>35450

That's a shame. Dredd is awesome. I really want to see it again myself.

>>35451

Red Dwarf X? What is this?

>>35453
The new series of Red Dwarf, Red Dwarf X, started a few days ago. It should still be on Youtube. The episode title is Trojan.

We were brainstorming in a Livestream over a list of movies that could be considered spiritual adaptions of video games.

* Book of Eli (Fallout, mentioned already in the Taken thread)
* Labyrinth (old-school RPG's, mainly Final Fantasy or Zelda)
* The Secret of Kells (Windwaker-era Zelda)
* Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (yes, it's already an adaption, but it also makes for a pretty good No More Heroes movie)

>>35516
I dunno if it's a "spiritual adaptation" but my brother and I have always thought that Inception is sort of what happens when you make a video game movie the right way. There's gun fights, levels that have been designed, a final boss, and a squad

>>35516
The Clash of the Titans remake and its sequel look like what happens when one tries to make a PG-13 God of War.

Which is funny, because those games were strongly influenced by the original movie.

>>35516
SP is not punk even though it wishes it was.

>>35517
Agreed. I can't think of what game it reminds me of, but it was sort of game-y. In a good way.

>>35518
Also agreed. Almost a better God of War adaption than a Clash remake.

>>35522
I wouldn't know what is/isn't "true" punk, but it had the same old-school gaming nostalgia and candy colors that NMH had. I think the author of Scott Pilgrim actually pointed out they had similar plots.

>>35523
Sp isn't a hapless nerd that is going around killing people just to seem cool or get laid by a woman who doesn't give a shit about him.

>>35525
I didn't see a lot of chemistry between Scott and Ramona at first. It seemed like she was annoyed at him, and he liked her better than Knives on the basis she was "hotter" and 18+.

>>35522
>punk
Of course it wasn't.

Aw MAN, I fucking LOVE this movie!

>>finally watching Ed Wood
>>dat whole movie
>>oh, Ed, you poor thing
>>Belaaaa noooo

>>35589

Watched Killer Joe.
Laughed, fapped, cringed, laughed again.

Amazing movie.

>>35590
Today would have been Bela's birthday. The timing makes it even worse.

I think between this and the Ed Wood-themed episode of Mission Hill ("Plan 9 From Mission Hill (I Married A Gay Man From Outer Space)"), I almost feel sorry for the directors and crew of these MST3k-level crappy films. But then I remember for every "Plan 9" or "Glen or Glenda", there's a "Birddemic" or "The Room". I think it depends on the film.

I don't know how to react to this.

Iron Man 3 Official Trailer (2…

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

>>35599
Looks like Marvel is adding some necessary grit to their films with this and Captain America 2.

That was a really underwhelming trailer.

>>35601
>necessary grit
Please tell me that's sarcas-
...Damn those are some nice rabbit plush tits.

>>35595
Nice

>>35603
>Giant rabbit titties

Oh god, I'm not the only one who saw that.

And what the fuck are they doing with The Mandarin? Granted, we haven't seen more than an image of him, but I'm getting the feeling the straight-up "Asian terrorist" route might be less campy.

Or at least take a page from Matt Fraction and make Mandarin a Kim Jong-Il-esque lunatic with his own private city, harem, and wardrobe.

>>35605
It was on the filename, so hard for me not to notice.
>check pic again
Oh SHIT those were supposed to be its arms, lol

I saw the Mandarin pic. I just don't see why the guy would call himself "The Mandarin" if he isn't even chinese, for crying out loud.

>>35609
> why the guy would call himself "The Mandarin"

Because he is a egomaniac with delusions of grandeur, and that's the sort of things those kind of people do? Idi Amin called himself the "King of Scotland" and he probably couldn't find the nation in a map.

>>35611
Alright, you sold me with the Idi Amin comparison.

Though I still think his hairbun looks silly.

I know everyone's probably tired of the entire found-footage genre, but Grave Encounters is pretty fucking awesome, and it being Halloween it's pretty much the perfect time of the year so watch it faggots. It's on Netflix Instant so anyone with that better get on that shit.
>>35599
I'm hype, but we still have a few things to worry about here. Namely Iron Man 2 was balls, and the trilogy curse is still a thing.

>>35611
And I'm >>35609, and... you actually made sense out of it. Congratulations.

>>35615

>>35618
Yeah, it's kind of a parody of those reality ghost hunter shows on Sy-Fy and Travel Channel that takes a turn for the fucking terrifying.

First trailer for the Evil Dead remake

EVIL DEAD - Official Redband T…

Yay or nay?

>>35628
Bruce and Sam are doing it and Bruce dislikes the CGI and favors practical effects..so I'm enthused and kinda scared in some of those bits in that trailer.

>>35628
Yay, I just hope they listen to Bruce about practical effects.

>>35629
I don't think CGI will ever fully replace practical effects, though, thankfully. I have a teacher who works in the industry and is great at Maya and ZBrush and the like, but is also a huge fan of practical effects and stuff like Labyrinth (although he said he was skeptical that an update of Fraggle Rock could work). I hope he's right.

>>35628
I think my main complaint is the green-ish tint they're using in some of scenes. Looks like it's trying too hard to look spooky/eerie. Also why the fuck did they have to put a dog in too god fucking dammit.

Looking forward to it otherwise. I'm glad it looks like it's going in its own direction and not just pandering to the fans of the original.

The only thing that kinda pissed me off about the trailer is that the remains of wrecked bridge didn't look like a closing clawed hand. I guess that didn't want to be too overt so early in the film.

Saw Silent Hill: Revelation 3D last night. It was a pretty bad movie, but I found it extremely entertaining. Michael J. Bassett has SO MUCH MORE RESPECT for the games' canon than that idiot Christoph Gans did. The dialogue was stupid and the plot was ridiculous, but I still enjoyed it very very much. Malcolm McDowell was pretty great as Leonard, and it just tickled me when he said "There are many Silent Hills. Are you sure this is the right one?" Also, at the very end, when Travis Grady shows up and comments that he "hasn't gone that way in a long time," and then THAT FUCKING PRISON BUS FROM DOWNPOUR drives by I fangirled so hard I almost tore a muscle.

I wonder how successful this was in getting the youth of the 90s to pay attention to Shakespeare.

Do you think 19 years from now, the cast of Harry Potter will get together for a reunion where they shoot a new version of the 19 years later scene.

>>35648
Now that you mention it, that's something I want to happen.

>>35646
I actually really enjoyed that movie, especially Mercutio. I do kind of wish we could get more Shakespear "updates" like that, with the original language but set in modern times to give the context that we may not have just from the dialogue. Need to go see Hamlet. (But someone needs to do A Midsummer Night's Dream)

>>35643
WHOA WHOA WHOA HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

The new Silent Hill movie is out? :O

>>realizing I need to see Seven Psychopaths because of the simple possibility that Tom Waits and Christopher Walken will be in the same scene talking to each other

I loved the wording on that.
I always feel awkward being the only one that wants to watch the credits.
Even the theater staff makes me feel awkward.

.... ?!?

So I've been watching this show, and I've just finished the first episode of the third season.

This is how I feel:
This show is butts.

Why am I watching it still? Pretty much because of Walter.
He is the only good character.

>>35716
I thought it was okay but there wasn't anything special about it. I only really watch it if I have nothing better to do

>>35716
They almost had it, super ratings, first season selling like gangbusters.

A new x-files, what everyone has been trying to make these kinds of shows for years.

Then multi-interdimenional-time-space-reincarnation travel.

Then everyone was like "Hey fuck this lame shit, SUPERNATURAL IS ON!!"

>>35746
But Supernatural is absolutely terrible, now. It hasn't been good in a few years. Fringe is the best science fiction on television.

>>35740
To be fair, I am very calloused. I don't think this show is complete shit, but it is still butts in my opinion. It had a lot of promise, and I think that's what really makes me put it in such a negative light.

>>35746
I thought the first season was grueling, to be honest. Really, after the second episode, the only reason I kept watching it was to point out what they did wrong and mock it.

The second season was actually pretty good. It had a number of solid episodes with interesting events happening. It had it's fair share of groan-inducing episodes (like that one Observer episode), but I could overlook them in hopes that it would continue the uphill trend I thought I saw. The "Peter" episode, for instance, was fucking amazing. That episode alone made me feel like going through all the shit that covered the show was worth it.

Whatever made it so I could watch this show is dying now, though. All the episodes are kind of boring, and I still don't really care about any of the characters besides Walter. If anything I've grown to dislike some of them even more, like Peter.

watching dexter in part because of yvonne strahovski... who i love from mass effect...
who i suddenly am drawn to like some force of nature

>>35761
That is literally the only reason I'm watching the current season. Every season after 2 has been a giant steaming pile of meh with the occasional gold moment.

>>35761
I made it through two seasons and couldn't push it any further. Just so mundane. So. Mundane.

I'm not sure what I was expecting from Being Human, but it sure got very heavy in a hurry.

World War Z - Trailer Preview (HD)
Well any hope I had for this is gone.

>>35781
OH GOD THAT IS SOME OF THE WORST CGI I'VE EVER SCENE

I stand firm by my headstone comment in OP.

It might actually be worse than the Hellsing and Berserk CGI.

>>35781
What is this I don't even.

World War Z - Official Trailer (HD)

>>35786
WWZ(INO)

>>35786
holy shit i didnt think it was possible but they fucked it up

ZOMBIES NEED TO BE FAST!

THAT WAY WE CAN MOTION BLUR THEM TO SHIT AND COVER HOW GARBAGE THE CGI IS!

>>35787
WWZ(ERG)...Rush

>>35786
can anyone name a movie adaptaion which has less in common with its source material than this looks like its going to have?

i am so boggled by this fuck up. World War Z is literally the easiest zombie movie in all of existence to make and they fucked it up! How did you do that? You have to try, i mean really try, to get it so wrong. Ive read World War Z something like seven hundred billion times its not difficult ok?

all you do is make a movie like Crash or (speaking of Brad Pitt!) Babel, with lots of stories about different people that revolve around a similar plot theme (not just zombies, but human nature in the face of looming adversity), with the reporter being the only person who is a constant in all these stories. Tell it in flashbacks or like a mockumentary, shoot it on handcams. You will never lack for extras who want to wear zombie make up ITS WORLD WAR Z OK? Two and a half hours, you can fit like five, maybe six stories into it with satisfying beginning+middle+end, no problem. Could even have some of the people from one story sort of drift through another story to show that we're all connected or what the fuck EVER ok? And thanks to things like Yonkers, you'd still have a place to spend all your CGI budget without being stupid. Wow look at that I just wrote WWZ give me my oscar thanks.

but no we get brad pitt shooting at bad cgi zombies for two hours fuck

name it 28 months later and we might be onto something

>>35786
Why... why are the zombies a swarm mind?

So... another franchise where they just bought the name? Ok.
I'd probably be a lot madder if I had read or marginally knew the original story.

>>35796

Trust me, you would be. World War Z came out before zombies were overused; it sort of jump-started the genre's popularity in the last decade. It had lots of complex multicultural characters, exhaustively researched simulations of how each country would react to the undead, hell, it even had an International Space Station vignette. Butchering that book is like doing a Jurassic Park remake and having the dinosaurs talk or something.

>>35795

They're already implied to have a swarm mind in the book. Just. . . not THAT kind of swarm. In World War Z they're depicted as "flocking" like birds towards targets en masse, which is pretty terrifying. But this is. . . well, it looks like a neat idea that could have been done a lot better.

I'll probably catch in on DVD once the dust has settled, though.

>>35797
I had heard about it, but by then I think Romero had been back on the saddle, and not sure if the Dawn of the Dead remake had been out.

Asterix & Obelix 4: Au-Ser…
HOLY SHIT, THEY ARE STILL DOING THIS!

>>35797
There is no salvaging this.

NONE.

>>35801

If they explored the pandemic angle it still might be good

But the trailer is just them getting bushwhacked by zombies out of nowhere, no buildup or suspense. Most of all, no politics. WWZ was all about how shitty politics helped cause the zompocalypse.

Oh well. So much for that, I guess.

>>35802
Yea mix that with the atmosphere of the Day Z mod and I think it would be something. Getting dropped into the First Contact area in attempt to locate the origin point. Make it feel oppressive and tense even before we encounter our first shambler not fight "Cousin of The Flood".

>>35801
i could almost, almost believe that the 23DL zombies would have done this if there were enough of them in one place at one time

>>35801

>>35797
>Just. . . not THAT kind of swarm

That's my point. If they were like a hive mind, that'd be a neat idea. But this? This is something straight out of cartoons. They're almost acting like intelligent waves or one of those oft seen "guys makes out of worms/snakes/leeches/bugs" They look like they are defying physics.

Warm Bodies - Official Trailer [HD]

i opened this link thinking that at least WWZ wont be the worst zombie movie of 2012

but this... this almost looks good

the second i saw the skeletons i thought of feral ghouls and from there it kinda made sense

>>35808
*2013

>>35808
They took the most horrifyingly disgusting premise I'd ever ever heard of and made it look good.

>>35808
OKAY, NO THIS IS FUCKING RAD

>>35808
Wait, was this the movie that was at TIFF? I think I remember hearing about it.

>>35812
I think part of that is because its not someone subjugating a zombie to be their sex toy. I kinda like the idea that they are still fully or at least mostly cognitive zombies. Shambler but with a brain..neat mixture.

>>35808

I'll be seeing this instead of WWZ, I think. Because, you know, it has a story and not ONE MAN CAN SAVE THE WORLD (AND HIS FAMILY AND TWO BLONDE DAUGHTERS) theme.

>>35808
oh damn.

>>35808
>mfw their names are R and Julie

>>35808
they already are making a movie for this?! the book came out just last year didn't it? or am i going crazy.

i didn't even think it was that good.

fuck it, i'm in. the book was pretty unique in its delivery. just keep the budget low so we don't get accidentally forced in action sequences.

what's the deal with all these films being shot in scotland lately eg wwz, fast and the furious 6, whatever the new halle berry film is

>>35808
The book was pretty fun and now the movie looks like a lot of fun.

I'll see it. I liked R.

I Ain't Havin That (JonTron + …

Decided to post this here instead of /cog/ because despite being a remix from a video game review it really has nothing to do with video games out of context.

Monsters Inside Me is pretty fucked up. Sometimes I miss when Animal Planet didn't have every show be like "ANIMALS WILL FUCKING KILL YOUR ASS".

>finally got round to listening to The Antlers "Burst Apart"

i wasn't expecting another hospice but oh god it's so bad in comparison

I didn't even know they made another album after Hospice, so I listened to it.

Now I wish I still didn't know it existed.

>YellowBrickRoad

The promise this movie showed early-on made its later bumbling faceplant so much more disappointing. It tried so hard to be mysterious, that even the filmmakers apparently didn't know what the mystery was.

I'm already thinking of buying holiday presents for my family, but my dad and my sister, who are huge TV/movie fans, aren't really interested in buying anything on DVD, they just want to stream/watch an episode on TV or see a movie once, and they're done.

>>35925
So get them a month or three of Netflix, Hulu Plus, and/or Amazon Prime.

>>35926
I can try. I've suggested Netflix to my parents before, a family account we could all use, and she was strongly against anything with a subscription, but my other relatives are so picky that we might have to resort to it.

What really bugs me is that my sister has this "I can get it for free online and watch it on the internet, I don't have to support the show at all" attitude about 99% of what she watches. I always try to buy at least some bit of merch to ensure future seasons.

>>35927

do they have a TV system that is Netflix compatible? We dropped Cable and got one of the WDLive+ boxes that can run Netflix Have used it for three years and saved a lot compared to just having premium cable.

Course then my cousin and his wife have stated the problem with 'flix and other services and that is the compulsion to watch ALL the episodes in one sitting and that can be a problem.

>>35928
I could try. S' a nice compromise-- Dad and sister can watch their shows, and I can possibly watch with them, because I've never gotten a chance to see the ones they're really into (Game of Thrones for Dad, Breaking Bad for sister).

>>35929
Check to see if they carry the shows you want. Last I saw HBO was being restrictive on things like Game of Thrones.

>Watching The X-Files

I missed out on this show when it was first airing, between being five years old when it started and not having cable. This is...actually, pretty good!

In Love

>>35930
In an odd twist of fate, after repeatedly telling me the idea of buying Game of Thrones was dumb, guess what he bought himself.

>>35934
I honestly thought that was dead after the first couple of episodes but they just had to bring it back

I am a bit late at this, but it is true that Cloud Atlas was pretty good? I forgot all about that movie after seeing the Watchacamalits siblings were part of it, but many people have told me it was great.

>>35966
I would honestly call Cloud Atlas one of my all time favorite movies to be perfectly frank.
Yes, it was that phenomenal.

Life of Pi was pretty cool.

>>35966
See >>35741
In short, I'd have to see it a few more times before i fully make up my mind, but I found it quite enthralling. It makes me wonder if there were a bunch of small things I didn't pick up on the first time I saw it.

>Brian Singer, director of X-Men and X2, revealed some very exciting news via twitter: “I’d like to officially welcome back James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult to X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Also thrilled to announce Sir Ian Mckellen and Sir Patrick Stewart.”

>Both young and old Magneto and Professor X will be in the new X-Men: Days of Future Past? How awesome is that!? Fans of the comic will remember the original Days of Future Past story arc, a dark look at what might happen to mutantkind should humanity’s anti-mutant sentiment spiral out of control. It also involved mother-humping time travel. Since this new movie is slated to have double the Xavier and Magneto, things are looking timey-wimier than ever, and I, for one, can’t wait to see where it’s all going.

>>36003
>Red Shoe Diaries on Hulu

So jelly.

Saw 12 Angry Men.

It was really good. Great acting, tense moments, twists all over the place, everyone gets exposed for what they truly are, and the cinematography was chilling. It held extra appeal for me, because of my love for the Phoenix Wright series and how it turns trials upside down and completely changes how murder scenes are analyzed from the initial testimony. But of course the main point of the movie is showing how everyone's personal problems hold a man's life in danger.

>>36003
Oh wait, not just Hulu Plus, free Hulu has it, too.

Can't say I did. Afer the first 4 Wolverine movies I got tired of getting rickrolled. Hell from what I've seen they even included that lame character from Chuck Austen that everyone else would love to forget.

Really? I heard it was "Magneto can't do any wrong: the fanfic turned to movie".
Guess I might give it a pirate, then.

Although I can see Robin Williams portraying him in a more serious movie, I think he did a pretty good job at it in NATM.

>>36039
indeed he really took it to heart to do a good job with TR. I'd like to see a TR in the vein of those pulpy comics from a couple years back though I don't know if Williams could do high action pieces.

>>36040
If Harrison Ford can old man jive his way through another Indiana Jones, Robin Williams could do Bully Pulpit: The Movie.

>>36037
>That lame Chuck Austen character

No, they didn't. They included a character named Azazel that just happened to be "red Nightcrawler with swords". That's literally his character in the film. No backstory. No personality. No voice.

Hell, half the mutants they put in this film are unrecognizable from their original counterparts. Darwin is a random black dude. "Not-Worthington" Angel is a random brown chick instead of a ghetto stereotype. Banshee is a ginger douche. Hell, even Havoc is just some loner kid with no connection to Cyclops.

Of course, if you actually watched any X-Men films, you'd know they never stick to the comics.

Bonus points if he just incorporated the Kate Beaton version into the pulp version.

"FUCK IT LET'S DO BOTH"

>if you actually watched any X-Men films
I did. Why do you think I didn't bother watching this one?!

Hello, I'm the best part of the X-Men movies.

And most movies I'm in for that matter.

>>36044
Then you missed the ONLY good one. Seriously, I'm with you on the other ones, they're shit (yes even X2).

First Class is fucking fun, and my one complaint is that Stewart and Mckellen couldn't be in the one decent movie of the franchise.

>>36046
>yes even X2

Oh boy, Sherlock season 2 is on Netflix.
Or do they call them serieses in the UK?

>>36046
Well thanks for the tip (to the others, too). After the first time, every time I tried rewatching the movies, I kept in mind what could be edited to make it salvageable for me. Maybe I'll try with this mindset.

On one hand, I'm really happy that people can take a simple piece of software, completely self-teach themselves graphic arts, and make fake trailers for movies they want to see made, but at the same time, I hate seeing people fake cast lists and press releases to make people think this is a real thing, or that a project that may have just started development is all of a sudden 3/4ths of the way done.

On a related note, this is also why I hate Twitter, because I see "[x] died" on there every day and I want to hear real news instead of stupid rumors for once.

So how about that Jamie Foxx's Electro in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2?'

>>36054
So you just want to surf the web without getting pulled under by a riptide of lies.
Auto-Tune the News #11: Pure P…

I just watched Sherlock's "Study in Pink" on Netflix, and I'm intrigued.
I need to watch more.

>>36081
Well the whole rest of the show is also on Netflix. Third season won't be until god only knows when.

>>36081
It is in fact, very good.
It makes me wish seasons had more than 3 episodes, but they are 1 1/2 hour long episodes so it evens out.

This isn't entirely /mtv/-related, but I had to get it off my chest anyways.

"What I like" and "what is influential" are not always the same thing, and even if something you don't like gets into a Hall of Fame doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be there. Like for example, I know a bunch of people who don't like Michael Jackson. Their opinion on him ranges from indifference to passionate hate. And that's totally okay! We don't all have to like the same things. But he deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because he has an obvious influence on a ton of musicians they DO listen to and love. Without him, a lot of the people they listen to wouldn't have ever started singing.

I was kind of thinking about this during the whole shitstorm that went on as a result of Half-Life 2 winning Game of The Decade at the VGA's. Same idea, different medium.

Well, at least it's got something going for it.

>>36117
Which is...?

>>36118
Sweet Robo backside.

>>36125
if only it could have been done without bashing the original suit.

This is a bit of a weird question, and it does incorporate /co/ and /jam/ into it a bit, but I felt this would be the best place to put it. Essentially, I want to know if it's just me, or if older movies and TV shows look more washed out in terms of colors, whether it's the technology used or something like that.

I first noticed this when someone was discussing the original season of Pokemon vs. the Black & White season. The colors in B&W were just so much more vivid. Or was it an intentional coloring decision?

I just tried a VPN and holy shit, American Netflix is Kilometers above Canadian Netflix.
They have an entire extra Season of IT Crowd! You can't even watch it on Canadian Netflix anymore.
