Moonrise Kingdom is one of the most fantastic movies it has ever been my pleasure to watch.

Kaw-Liga - Hank Williams

>Javert

In other news, Anne Hathaway KILLED IT. I don't even know where to begin with her performance.

>>36274
Really? I watched it the other day and found it rather underwhelming. Cute, for sure, but little more than that.

>>36275
I can totally see that being a reaction to this movie, it's bottles a certain magic I grew up with and as such totally enraptured me.

Like Stand By Me and a lot of coming of age stories, either it nails you or does nothing.

Francoise Hardy - Le Temps De …

It really is great to have more stuff to watch on Netflix.
I guess I'm going to have to subscribe to this VPN service as well.
It's like the modern day equivalent of owning a grey-market satellite dish.

Thinking of seeing Les Miserables, but I haven't seen any incarnation of the story or read the book, should I do it anyways?

I'm sorta iffy on musicals. I really like the Disney ones, Repo!, Rocky Horror, and Sweeney Todd, but I haven't watched many others.

>>36276
I mean, I LOVED Stand By Me. Moonrise Kingdom felt less like a coming of age story and more like Wes Anderson playing with dolls. Not that the acting was bad. The acting was great, but the characters didn't quite ring true.

>>36280
I disagree with you but I respect your opinion.

>>36278
You'll probably have problem following the story if you've not read the book or seen the play. The pacing is too fast.

But as someone who has read the book, it was fun. Had some slow bits, and they really should have just spoken some parts as all of the forced singing was clearly uncomfortable for a number of actors, Crowe and Jackman in particular.

But I still liked it a lot. Hathaway killed it in her solos, LOOK DOWN is spectacularly menacing, and every time they broke out Do You Hear the People Song I wanted to climb up on the barricade with them.

This movie... is a good movie!
Garciá Marquéz would love it if he wasn't senile.
And DAT LAST PART. Which story do you prefer?

>>36287

Had you read the book before seeing it? Just curious.

>>36289
Didn't knew about the book until an hour before I watched it.
Are there any significant differences with the book?

>>36291
The book drives home the whole "atheism is bad" message harder.

>>36292

Actually that's not the case at all. It's agnosticism that the book doesn't like. It's a-ok fine with atheism.

>>36293
Have not read the book nor seen the movie (yet), though I know the basic plot (spoiler included). But I find this atheism - ok / agnosticism - not ok thing interesting. How does it work?

I admit learning about the whole "agnosticism is bad" thing just killed my desire to see Life of Pi. What's so wrong about not having an absolute view on whether God exists or not?

David Bowie: Where Are We Now? Full Video
Based Bowie is back!

>>36295
You should still check it out, since I felt it's better to get your own personal conclusions and interpretations from the movie since that's what the movie offers rather than a message of "agnosticism sucks".
Actually, I never got that message from the movie.
Also, one of the few films when the 3D is great.

>>36294

Basically: atheists are taking a stance, agnostics are refusing to.

This is, incidentally, grossly, grossly oversimplified.

>>36295
I'm agnostic and Life of Pi is one of my favourite books.

I don't really see how people get into a huge religion debacle over it.
Pi is a kid that chooses to follow multiple religions, the first part of the book is mostly about how he acquired them and why he chose to do it.

It's a personal story of kid told from first person, I never saw it as preachy.

Pi himself can be cocky at times but he is a young, intelligent teen, they tend to be that way.

So a while ago I promesed people on /co/ that'd I post about Rifftrax showings in theaters. Welp mark your calenders for the 24th AND 31st of this month! They are NOT new live shows, but re-runs. Still if you like Rifftrax, it'll still be a treat.

So I just got into Game of Thrones series and I wish I had waited until more seasons have past because I can't wait for the new ones to come out...

The writer is the guy who did Little Miss Sunshine. Which gets all sorts of accolades as a well-written movie, but the tone isn't exactly a Star Wars tone and I don't know how well those skills will translate over to a Genre flick.

>>36413
Now that's officially confirmed by StarWars.com, I have to say it's not a bad choice. He did a good job rebooting Star Trek and he's obviously a big science fiction fan, judging by his body of work. With him and Michael Arndt on Star Wars, Episode 7 is looking to be a pretty good mivie.

Honestly, I'm just thankful Disney/Lucas didn't give the job to Joss Whedon. Maybe now those "Help me Joss Whedon. . ." pics will be less frequent on Pinterest.

I don't even like JJ Abrams as a sirector but anything, literally ANYTHING would be an improvement over Georgie. Yes, even Shiamalamadingdong or Baysplosion.

It seriously boggles the mind that both Star Wars and Star Trek are under the same director.

which hopefully means they'll remember the series roots like the Jedi Knight film is doing.

Also Disney canned the other 3D Star Wars remakes apparently.

On the other hand, Raimi seems ready to apologize for Spiderman 3 and Drag Me to Hell with that Oz movie.

>>36578
Huh, I thought DMtH was pretty decent. Could have ended a couple minutes before it did, but overall alright. Scared me.

Then again, I'm not too pumped for the Oz one, so different strokes I guess.

Was expecting Die Hard 5 to suck, but it was pretty alright, man. I can't not like Bruce Willis in anything for some reason. I think if Bruce Willis and Will Smith were buddies in a movie, it would be impossible to dislike.

My only quip with the Die Hard series is that all of the badass ladies are evil. We can't have Lucy McClane with a gun instead of her brother? C'mon.

House Of Cards - Episode 4 Recap

Thinking about getting into Supernatural and Game of Thrones.

I know basically nothing about either of them, but I can't turn my head without seeing someone mention them.

>>36629
Game of Thrones is going to be a lot easier to get into as it only has two seasons and it requires no backstory from the book. Supernatural... someone else can help you with that.

>>36629
Supernatural is a show about two underwear models fighting evil episodically and making quips.

>>36631
So like Psych, but with demons?

>>36633

Pretty much. There's also more melodrama and less quirky nicknames given by the Sean (In this case Dean) to the Gus (Which is pretty much Sam, but he can sometimes play the Sean role).

>>36634
>>36633
>>36631
My only gripe is that while I'm okay with the lighthearted flirting between Gus and Shawn (even if they're not actually gay), I can't do it between Sam and Dean because they're brothers and I have a slight (okay, more than slight) thing against incest, especially twincest.

>>36630
What's GoT about?

>>36635
Fantasy Europe is about to get invaded by horrible ice monsters whose previous invasions promted the creation of a mile high, continent spanning wall, but everyone in fantasy Europe is too busy in a succession crisis dick measuring crisis to bother doing anything about it. Sex, violence, snark.

>>36635
People within the show sometimes assume they are gay. They have daddy issues. They don't really flirt with each other.

>>36635
Concerning Supernatural, they're not twins, any flirting is just yaoi goggles (shippers gonna ship I guess), the parts where they episodically fight evil (my favorties) unfortunately are interrupted by long storylines about stopping the Apocalypse (there's a lot of "chosen one" crap involved in this, so if you hate that kinda thing, it's a downside). I'm not sure about the underwear model part being used to promote it, never noticed. It's largely about family and classic rock, really.

>>36641
I admit the "chosen one" thing gets on my nerves, but only because it's never justified, really, why them out of everyone ever.

I thought the "underwear model" thing was a crack at how everyone's good-looking in a classical way in the show. Every show is now. I've given up on finding a show devoid of stereotypically attractive actors, just like I've given up on my dream of seeing a blockbuster, award-winning movie starring and directed by zero well-known people.

>>36595
First episode already.
HOLY SHIT I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS

Watching and comparing The Cult to The Following, The Cult has much better feel at least so far going on the first couple of episodes head to head IMO.

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/03/29/richard-griffiths-died-harry-potter/

Well, this is sad to hear.

Additionally, it's sad that I've grown accustomed to assuming that if I first hear of a celebrity death on Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook (which I did for this one), that I automatically assume it to be false at first. There's enough people who find it hilarious to lie to people about things like this that you end up trusting nobody anymore.

WTF did I just watch? Who were all these people in the car with him? I'm guessing colleagues for the most part, but they kind of came out of nowhere. The whole movie felt like it had this huge world just outside the car that was interesting but they never let us see it, they just kept us stuck it that stupid car with the boring main character. And on the few occasions we're let out, they tell us nothing.

>>36410
Because I never got a chance to say due to down time:

This would be the best way to make a Gremlins 3:
The movie advertises the most groundbreaking CGI methodology to date and compliments the movie by including a 10 minute documentary at the beginning where they show off the technology of the movie. They center in on a guy displaying an animated gremlin on his computer screen when the program freezes. The documentary's narrator makes the excuse that the technology is so advanced that some computers have trouble running it when a proper gremlin smashes through the screen, grabs the guy by his tie, then starts slamming him face first into his keyboard, laughing that hysterical cackle of theirs. The crew is chased out of the studios as they run a gauntlet of gremlins destroying the set itself, getting dressed up for roles as famous villains, and throwing stage hands off of sets.

We then meet the head gremlin antagonists: The director Gremlins. Each should be a satirical characterization of George Lucas, Micheal Bay, and Uwe Boll.

That snuck up on me.

only took 20 years but i finally got to see my favourite movie at the cinema

>>36753
Yeah it BETTER come to sweden so I can do that too!

>>36753
I was 6, maybe 7 years old when that came out. I was obsessed with dinosaurs at that age. I wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. My parents thought it would be a good idea to let me watch it in the theaters.

I very nearly literally shit my pants. I left the theater shaking in fear, and I stopped loving dinosaurs. Sad.

>>36764
my girlfriend saw it multiple times as a 6 year old

>>36764
I saw (at least part of) it when I was like three or four. That's too young to really remember it, but my parent said I was really scared of it.

I used to watch Roger Ebert's reviews as a kid, but after the comment he made about video games, I didn't watch him again and part of me is still miffed about that.

>>36774
It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. The kids trapped with the raptors was fucking scary at that age but that scene was and while always be a memorable moment.

You didn't notice when Zach Braff was in the movie as Oz's assistant in the black and white scenes?

>>36871
Well he only had that facial hair for one season...

Just got back from G.I Joe 2 re-whatever.
Like it.
But I dont know if its "better" then the first one...
That one sure had more BILLSHIT "reworkings" but was more epic.
This one has more "fanservice" but was a bit dull.
And the ending was bull, why would they even build the zeuses like that, especially with a fucking staff on hand to work them!
In the end, just watch the G.I. Joe Renegade cartoon instead.
Way better and longer.

Also I read an Ironman 3 artical in a "upcoming movies" flyer.
Janet confirmed.

>>36880
It was... okay I guess. None of the drama and those annoying flashbacks from the first one, but it's a huge downer because of that thing one could tell from the trailer.

Cobra Commander was actually perfect in this one, but nearly every other character seems to get screwed over in favor of THE ROCK and Snake MOTHERFUCKING Eyes. Which means, getting killed off (including a fan favorite villain, I only realized it happened days later, since it happens sort of off-screen) or pushed to a secondary role (Is it me or Flint and Lady Jaye used to be more the leader types? Maybe I'm getting Flint mixed with Hawk?). Also Zartan was such a little bitch. I think he was a ninja in the comics and one of the figure lines, fuck's sake. Overall, it was like the Wolverine effect on every X-Men movie.

BUT. It gets really good from the point when Bruce Willis shows up. Was he supposed to be the original figure, btw? Falcon or something? . Also the part with Storm Shadow added SO MUCH to the character from first movie.

If this had been an original movie without the ninjas and actual Joe stuff, I could see it all working, no problem.

Re-watching my favorite episodes of Deep Space Nine at work, enjoying the parts of the show that weren't dull as rocks. No tedious relationship melodrama, no arbitrary quasi-religious subplots, and who is this "Ezri" you speak of?

Huh, watching Malcolm in the Middle on Netflix there was a lot of TMBG music on the show besides just the theme song.
I wonder why I didn't get into them sooner.

>>36885

so doing only ten minute episodes towards the end there?

>>36885
Ezri was a super cutie gosh.

New Evil Dead is groovy.

Just saw Oblivion. Not perfect by any means, but I had a lot of fun watching it. The way the twists were revealed, while not unexpected or anything, were done well, and the whole aesthetic was great. In the future, everything looks like Apple products.

Saw Skyfall and it was good for the action though story seemed to a bit of a retread. It was pleasant lead into possible reboots of the earlier Bond films they referenced in that legacy game.

>>36892
>In the future, everything looks like Apple products.
Argh... so like Minority Report?

I brought up Elysium as being "District 9, Part 2", and was immediately informed "it's 100% not related to District 9 at all".

Then why would reports keep mentioning it as such? Why would they mention Wikus is in it?

>Untitled Parkes/MacDonald Project: Drama about an interpreter at the United Nations who works with diplomats and politicians from around the world
This... is actually a fairly novel concept for a tv show. No doctors, lawyers, cops... I wonder how they'll fumble it and like turn it into a spy show or something.

I never want to see "Like [Show X], but [Y]" as a pitch for a sitcom ever again. Jumping on a trend with a show, but changing one minor thing doesn't demonstrate understanding of why that show is popular in the first place.

I do want to see more original superhero stuff in media overall. Superheroes who are completely original, and not adaptions or reboots of pre-existing heroes.

>>37015
OH MY GOD MAN, the movie is an EXPERIENCE.

I love good licensed superhero movies, but I'd like to also see more original property superhero movies as well. Over the last 20 years or so, I can only think of a handful that fall into this: The Incredibles, Megamind, Sky High, and Hancock. It could be argued that The Incredibles is just Fantastic Four + Watchmen, and Megamind uses a lot of Superman tropes, but I think both of them do their own thing when it comes to plot.

I did try Googling to find more, and someone was trying to argue that a movie that is inspired by a certain property is still a licensed movie, and I don't know if I'd agree with that. I think it depends on the situation.

>>37040
I think The Incredibles distinguishes itself more with its characters than its plot, which I think is a plus for your argument.

>>37040
Also Mystery Men and Zoom!.
Megamind plays with a lot of tropes, but it really does its own thing. With STYLE, too.

>>37042
Mystery Men is a licensed Flaming Carrot spinoff movie.

>>37043
Wut... seriously?! How come I never heard of that D:

>I like the idea but after seeing the Wonder Woman pilot I gotta say NBC is the wrong network for that kinda thing. CW on the other Hand seems to be on the ball but being a Warner Brothers network doubt they would pull an indie to that channel.

I don't know, NBC had Heroes which was pretty good for the first season and although it wasn't based off of anything like this is, it was pretty comic-like. I'm definitely going to give it a watch at least to see what's up with it.

AMC looks like they're kind of dropping the ball, though. Their planned pilots are all about cops/law/forensics which feels kind of overdone.

Tonight I caved and finally bought a second copy of a movie I already own for the special features. MY DVD COPY IS REALLY SCRATCHED UP AND NOT AS COOL OKAY GAWD.

Great eye candy, but other than DiCaprio's performance it was so-so.

>>37129
It was a terrible idea to have rap in the soundtrack. Other than that I thought it was enjoyable.

Well.
Now this is a damn fine show.

>>37130
>>37129
I thought the rap was tolerable if you looked at it from a perspective of "these particular songs glorify the same lifestyle that the story points out is flawed" mindset, but I doubt that was the thought process. I would've gone with electro-swing, had it been me. But that moment with "Rhapsody in Blue" was perfect.

I thought the four main stars were all good, tbh. Good role for DiCaprio to sign off on if he's really going on a hiatus for awhile. I seem to be the only one who likes Tobey McGuire as an actor. Oh well. I think it may be my nostalgia, and my soft spot for the first two Spidey movies.

>>37134
Arrested Development Season 4 …

I'm so ready for this.

>>37136
Funny, I also thought electro-swing would have been a better fit. And I agree about Rhapsody in Blue, that moment was honestly one of the best uses of soundtrack I can think of. The timing, expressions of the actors, and fireworks in the background all worked in perfect harmony to make a very specific feeling.

I still think the overall movie was just enjoyable and not great, but it definitely had some damn fine moments.

I'm all caught up on Person of Interest. I really like this show, I love how they'll sometimes have the guy walk into a bar, a few guys fly out of the door or window, maybe a few gunshots will be fired, then he'll just walk out like he took a piss.

I watched End Of Watch the other day. A lot of it was a lot of fun to watch, but it had a little problem. It was sort of filmed like Cloverfield and Blair Witch Project at times with one of the main cops doing this video project. like he says in the movie. I had a feeling at first that was what they were going for, but then you'd have shots where it obviously wasn't someone holding a camera and it didn't really make sense. I think they should have filmed it more like Collateral. Definitely worth a watch if you like films like Training Day or Harsh Times.

>>37130
It's funny, Django also had a Rap song in it. I didn't think it was a particularly bad choice, but it did feel kind of strange and out of place.
I wonder if it's going to be the new thing, putting rap music in older themed movies.

With that in mind, I thought it would be kind of fun to make a rap video with a horse and limo long carriage with spinner rims, everybody dressed like pimps, making it rain golden nuggets, etc.

Oh man, can't wait for Arrested Development.
It's why I got a Netflix account.
True story.

>Golden Boy cancelled

that's a shame I was liking a cop show that didn't take place in a lab and felt like L.A. Noire

>>37217
I'm trying to get someone into Archer because they're an Arrested Development fan.

I kind of want to buy the series, but she's under the impression buying TV shows is a waste of money (which is bullshit, I wear the fuck out of my DVD boxed sets. Especially the Adult Swim ones, which have a shitton of bonus features).

>>37263
Isn't it all on Netflix streaming just like Arrested Development?

>>37268
Yea I think they just added season 4

>>37268
We don't/can't have Netflix.

I just watched yesterday the Evil Dead remake. Slowpoke, i know.

I generally liked it, it "felt" like Evil Dead, which has to be the best compliment one could give to the movie. Had one pet-peeve, though: The "abomination". Once the blood started raining I was expecting something big, akin to the Thing in the Woods from Evil Dead II, but what i got was a slightly more powerful Deadite. Bummer.

BTW, what was up with the old woman at the begining of the movie? She seemed to know pretty well what was going on. I wonder if there is a sequel, the character could appear again.

>>37328
The rumor is there's a plan for two sequels: Army of Darkness 2 which would follow Ash again and then a sequel to the new Evil Dead which would tie everything together. So there's a good chance she'll be important later.

Huh. For some reason I thought Andy Richter was dead.

>>37329
>Army of Darkness 2 which would follow Ash again
Grrrrrrrroovyyy

I haven't seen past the original Evil Dead, but I plan to watch everything in the series, including the reboot (even if the ad campaign for it annoyed the hell out of me).

From what I've heard, Mia isn't "Ash with breasts", which is really all I wanted-- the exact same character, nothing changed, maybe eventually going to the 14th century with a nubile half-naked man hanging off her leg or some shit. But I get why they wouldn't do that.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to see that in the new season of Arrested Development.

So are the new episodes of Arrested Development that focus on George Sr. kind of boring, or is it just me?

Aside from the two I've watched focused mainly on him, every episode is great so far.

>>37352
Most of the episodes before Gob's are really slow because they're all build-up. They're much better on a rewatch, once everything starts to come together and you can spot where all the storylines intersect.

>>37343
No kidding, seeing her really threw me for a loop.

>>37352
I thought the earlier episodes of the season were kinda meh, and George Sr. had more focus earlier on in season 4. The show really picked up steam after a while though, and every episode past the mid-point is just as good as the original show.

That final scene, man.

I wonder who killed Lucille

2.

>>37341
The people in charge explicitly said that they avoided making an Ash-like character, because that would be a waste of time. You can't replicate Ash.

Of course, there is also the possibilty open that the movie isn't a reboot or a remake, but a sequel, and that Ash does existl

Possibility? Somone didn't stay after the credits. You really should have, it was pretty groovy.

Apparently Showstealer Pro Trial Edition confused quite a few people.

>>37361
I thought it was hilarious when I realized what it said.

I really enjoyed this new season except for the first few episodes which were slow. I thought the idea of having the story lines constantly intersect was pretty fun (and really good for streaming marathons and rewatching, which are big deals with Netflix).

Now to wait for that movie.

>>37360
Y'all made such a ruckus about it, I expected something groovier.

Watched all the episodes of Arrested Development over the past couple days, and the newest season honestly wasn't nearly as good as the first three. Lucille I and II going at it during the trial was the best part of the new season.

>>37366
>The Lucille episode being nothing but back-to-back G insults.
>Maebe/Lindsay/Gob being adorable.
>Tobias getting arrested.
>Terry Crews as Herman Cain.
>1990s Fantastic Four references.
>Half of George Michael's story being based on The Social Network.
>SHOWSTEALER PRO TRIAL VERSION
>Buster episode is actually good.

I'm only sad that it ended so quickly.

Eh, I can see that. Might look something like this:

http://alexielapril.tumblr.com/post/51059064356/ash-and-mia-by-alexiel1910-just-a-tribute

I think I just heard Mia was used for fanservicey stuff and winced, because I see a lot of female characters being used mostly for pandering, and I just want chicks and dudes fighting zombies and stuff.

Like is a roofie circle.

GAH!!! the Grey ones are Naughties made by Gargamel. Wonder if anyone as noticed they are defying gravity on that poster.

It's weird finally starting up on Arrested Development after having watched Archer for years, as I'm basically seeing the same character (Mallory/Lucille) in a different, older, show.

>>37379
This film's existence will be justified by the inevitable, fantastic episode of Midnight Screenings it will produce.

>>37381
the appearance of Social(media) Smurf will likely cause an epic rage rant.

>>37380

Extra fun: Archer is basically Buster, if parented by a completely neglectful mother, instead of a helicopter mom. Other end of the spectrum.

Also, Kitty and Cheryl are played by the same person.

After Earth - The Aftermath
Look at all that booze.
This is going to be good for us, bad for him.

>>37474
Love it when he gets emotional but when its checked by things that don't make him really rage mad like when Ascension apparently shat on his childhood.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1117671683/harbinger-down-a-practical-creature-fx-film
They're not going to make it.
The real world is cold and cruel to those who cannot adapt and delude themselves into thinking their passions are significant to the people that matter.

I just read the Will Smith is pissed that After Earth isn't doing well at the box office.

Seriously? The movie was bland as fuck. I'd rather watch Oblivion again, and I usually like Smith much more than Mr Cruise.

Plus, the movie was a painfully obvious vehicle to push his son's acting career. Will Smith tried HARD to not cast a shadow over his kid all over the movie. And guess what, people go to a Will Smith movie to see him being Will Smith, not to see him try to not be Will Smith.

>>37509
And this is their third attempt at giving him movie acting legs. Willard, do we need to remember where your acting career got its legs? Hell most the world still goes to Fresh Prince before anything else. Made in America wasn't your break out movie son. Tele VISION son I don't care how much Jada wants him on the big screen. Get a solid sitcom writer and get the kid into Sitcoms.

>>37510
Comedy is harder than drama, anyway. Learning to be good at comedy will make him better if he DOES decide to start doing serious drama. Not that there's any reason to feel like being a comedic actor is a step down from being a dramatic actor.

>>37514
>>37510
>>37509
At least he's not doing the Disney/Nickelodeon child actor thing. That can seriously mess a kid up.

>>37514
We know that and those actors than can keep their head know that but as far as Hollywood is concerned Comedy is low tier sadly even though you won't find a better medium for honing ones timing skills than comedy.

>>37517
As much as I hate the Animation Age Ghetto, I remind myself that comedy and horror are generally live-action, and are treated with just as much disregard by the highbrow.

I don't even care what genre something is, as long as it does something original and good.

Boy I can already feel it.

The NEW Prince of Rap, starring Jaden Smith

Would you watch it, guys?

I found this while looking for an image from the new AD season. I didn't even notice this or think about it much.

>>37530
This changes everything.

I've come to the conclusion that I actually don't mind rap.

I think my issue with it, weirdly enough, was that a lot of mainstream rap is very ego-centric. I don't care about how much money you make or how much pussy you get.

http://blip.tv/redlettermedia/half-in-the-bag-episode-54-the-hangover-part-iii-and-after-earth-6598958

Interesting remarks about After Earth and Will Smith.

>>37546
EXACTLY. I like 90s party rap, but don't care to listen to someone singing in robot voice about how awesome they think they are. They just sound like tools most of the time.

Anyone can explain the difference between rap and hip-hop? Always wondered if it had to do with that.

>>37519
I wonder if bringing back the Fresh Prince cast could make it good. I could have a few more laughs with Jazz and Geoffrey.

>>37562
Rap is a music style (technically, it's the vocal style, rapping reffers to the act of rapidly, rythimcally chant-like singing of rhyming lyricss), Hip Hop a subculture.

>>37563
Ah gotcha, thanks.

Yay, the The Hobbit Part Deux teaser was nice, so fucking glad the barrells scene seems to be left as it was in the book.

OTOH, whos this qt Elven girl supposed to be?

>>37593
Tauriel, an original character to make the story less of a sausage-fest. Also a love interest for one of the dwarf twins.

>>37595
> Tauriel, an original character to make the story less of a sausage-fest.
Yikes, that kinda sucks. I mean, there were a couple of OCs in the LotR trilogy, but they were all third tiers with not much importance in the film.

> Also a love interest for one of the dwarf twins.

... Okay, what the fuck.

>>37595
Even the name itself sounds like it came from a terrible fanfiction.

>>37599
>>37602
I don't think she'll be accompanying the group outside of Mirkwood.

>>37603
Which was likely to take a good part of the movie, even more judging by the trailer. Looks like there's some shoehorned story there with her and Legolas.

Also if you read the book, there's the War of the Five Armies. I'm guessing they'll give her more importance there.

>>37599
>>37602
Rewatching LotR, some Frodo and Sam scenes look like watching a yaoi shipping fic.

I like what I'm seeing here, Weta.

>>37604
>Rewatching LotR, some Frodo and Sam scenes look like watching a yaoi shipping fic.
That was present, if less highlighted, in the book, too.

I kind of can't believe that they just said "okay here's Smaug" in the trailer.

Also I can't believe Bilbo's not invisible, that seems a bit ridiculous.

>>37616
His name is in the subtitle of this movie and they teased the hell out of his appearance in the prologue of the first part, so it makes sense to me that they would at least give a brief glimpse of him in the trailer.

As for why Bilbo isn't invisible, I suppose they just wanted a shot to emphasize how large Smaug is.

>>37617
Could also be one of those things where the trailer doesn't match the finished product--they made Bilbo visible so viewers would know Smaug wasn't alone in the scene, even though in the theater we would use context to tell that.

>>37615
I read the books, though many years ago, but from what I recall, there wasn't anywhere near that much joking material. Some of the problems in the movie scenes could be from the directing, the delivery of the lines between the two made it a lot worse.

>>37620
Oh no, I didn't mean to imply they were joking. I meant to imply that their relationship was always pretty co-dependent in a way that modern audiences would interpret as borderline homoerotic.

>>37621
I agree with you, actually. I didn't think you were saying that, I meant the movie has a lot of giggling/joking material on the matter, is what I'm saying. The book, on the other hand, didn't give me that impression... all the way, I just got the impression Sam was a REALLY loyal squire of sorts.

>>37604
>>37615
>>37620
>>37621
>>37622
I interpret relationships like that as "Most likely not gay, but on-board with it if they are".

Because I think it's shitty if the possibility is there, and yet some go out of their way to insist characters could never even potentially be gay, for vague, unspecified reasons. Like if the character was gay, they wouldn't be, y'know, the exact same character they already like.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT THIS GUY WAS HALLE FUCKING BERRY.

SERIOUSLY.

SERIOUSLY CLOUD ATLAS. I really liked it but holy fuck I'm gonna have to watch it again to catch all this shit.

Game Grumps brought up a really interesting question: When the graphic designers who designed the logos for Star Wars, Transformers, etc. did so, did they design an entire font to go along with it, or was that done retroactively?

>>37659
Typography is an essential skill for market graphic designers. Sometimes they borrow from other fonts, sometimes they make up fonts for their specific logos, but rarely do they design more letters than they need to.

Hey CGI, dine on a dish of dicks.

>>37659
In which video was that mentioned, anon?

Also! Graphic design fun fact.
Did you know - when Nike wanted to re-brand from being called Blue Ribbon Sport to Nike, and wanted a new logo, they bought the Swoosh from a graphic design students for five dollars.

>>37681
Super Star Wars #1.

>>37664
Gotcha. So when someone's made an entire font in that style, that's Dafont, not official?

>>37681
It was actually $35 back in the early 70s, which would be about 200 bucks in 2013, accounting for inflation and all that crap. Not really that terrible for a design student with little experience, doing freelance work for a company that back then only imported japanese shoes.

Also, the legend fails to mention that she was hired by the company, and worked as their main designer for years. Also, she was later given company stocks as a token of gratitude.

>>37684
Now THAT's a decent way to treat an employee. I bet tons of graphic designers would kill for that kinda job.

>>37666
Good news Tiki. I was wrong in my prediction.
>>37501

>>37682
>Gotcha. So when someone's made an entire font in that style, that's Dafont, not official?
Yes. It's usually fan designers.

I admit I've never given Kanye a fair chance. He has decent videos, very slick production and everything, but he has such a cocky, "I am the greatest that has ever lived, bow down to me" attitude that it just turns me off.

>>37697
>first 3 tracks
ehhhhhhhhhh

Not really digging it. The soundscape is interesting, and I think Kanye is undoubtedly one of the top producers of the last 10 or so years. But I've never thought much of him as a rapper. He has flow, but I feel his lyrical ability is lacking, and doesn't really stand to more cerebral hip-hop.

Suppose I'll have to find the singles. This and Daft Punk, man. Mad respect for each, but these latest albums seem somewhat lackluster. Like, they're each trying to define music again by changing what they originally influenced, but it feels like they're missing a key part of why it was influential.

So this showed up.
http://www.blastr.com/2013-6-18/unearthed-poster-reveals-well-see-jurassic-park-4-sooner-we-thought
But what the hell can you do in that series without retreding old ground?
I got two ideas, a Blair Witch Project style fake documentary where the twist is that it dont goes to shit What, I would not mind just taking in the scenery for two hours.
And a prequel about how Site B became a Lost World.
Or just rip off the comics, old and new.

Also about them dino hybrid concepts, they could be used for a diffrent movie: Extreme Dinosaurs Intro

But I hope it fails do to human error again and not "god" saying that we cant have cool shit.
Eco-Terrors anyone?
Also a hope the "tame" dinos will have personaltys like in the 90's JP comics.
Even simple ones like... I dont know, the seven dwarfs or smurf.

>>37746
Oh and most imported off all!
That the dinos are animals not movie monster that wont stop killing even when "feed".
Then again wolfs will kill all the sheep in a pen given the chans for some reason...
Ask someone else about that.

>>37747
If they're territorial, I could see them killing anything that remains in their territory just because it stepped onto the wrong turf. And pack animals are often territorial, especially toward animals that could potentially be a threat to them--humans are big enough to threaten raptors and their babies, so I can see them relentlessly attempting to kill a human that's in their territory.

The T-Rex is a little shakier. Even their hatchlings are probably under minimal threat from humans, and humans aren't big enough to provide more than a light snack. Maybe if they get a good opportunity to catch a human with minimal effort, they might eat one as a snack. But I don't see them putting much effort into hunting them.

Excellent!

A most triumphant development!

>>37754

But seriously, the idea of Keanu Reeves playing again Ted after all these years is simply mind boggling. I can't process it, I just can't.

I find it unsettling that I could see something was visibly off about World War Z's third act, having never read the book or heard of the supposedly news-worthy re-shoots.

>>37755
I'm just like..woah. But at the same time I could see that whatever Rufus less adventure they partook of at this stage of life is what set the path for that most Excellent of futures.

>>37784
Could you elaborate? I am still deceiding if go to watch WWZ or not. A friend told to forget about the book and consider it a fun action movie that happens to have weird zombie creatures.

>>37785
> Rufus less adventure
GOD. DAMN.

>>37786
The film slows down its pace after Israel. Pitt's character ends up in a W.H.O. facility where he finds that the closest thing to a "cure" turns out to be lethal-but-curable pathogens; the zombies don't go for terminally ill folk for some reason. Humanity uses this to launch an offensive that we don't fully see. There are some bits early on that seem shot and edited in specifically to make this plausible, but it falls apart upon closer examination. Having said that, the film wasn't horrible but you could see where it undermined itself by trying to appeal to the PG-13 blockbuster demographic.

The original third act was more dismal and honestly sounds better.

Oh boy, now this is pure bullshit.

So this is A Thing that has been coming up from time to time. Usually on TVTropes, but also on other places online.

There's the camp that think animated movies shouldn't be classified next to TV cartoons or anime, they should be categorized under film, and then there's those that think everything animated belongs in one place. What say you guys?

>>37832
Honestly? I'm all for putting animation under one umbrella.
Maybe make the distnction for feature films.

But of course, there's always the anal little twats who think their anime is so sacred and musnt be sacriledged to be uttered in the same breath as american animation since its for KEEEDS and aaAAAAAAAAAAAUGH.

You know what? Fine. Let them be divisive.
They want to fucking segregate, let them have it.

>>37833
I'm not angry at people that want to make the distinction.
Don't get me wrong.
I get it.

I just wish the world weren't set up in a way where thats necessary.

>>37832
It depends on the feature that is important in the distinction. If you are looking at what medium a work is in, it makes sense to lump all animation together--but you should also lump all live action together, regardless of delivery mechanism. So TV and film would go in the same category, as would live action web video. If you are looking at format, then animated films belong with film, animated television belongs with television, and web animations either belong in film (if they're one-off animations) or television (of they're episodic serials).

I don't see any reason to apply more granularity to animation than live action in any case, though. Nor more granularity to television than film.

>>37833
>>37834
>>37835
I understand. I think the reason I initially asked was because I listed a Studio Ghibli film as one of my favorite anime, and someone responded with "It's not an animeeeee, it's a movieeeeee". Honestly? If it's Japanese animation, it's anime, regardless of whether it's an OVA or a television series or a movie.

I'm only in favor of sectioning off anime and Eastern animation from Western animation when discussing cultural tropes and so on. But even then, I think those are blurring. Western animation has a lot of blue-haired girls, tsunderes, and that knee-high sock/short skirt fetish, not just anime.

>>37836
Eh I think Ghible fans can be kinda snob about anime in general, what with their movies being artsy and stuff.

>>37837
Possibly. I know there are people who are snobs about all areas of animation. I admit I have shades of that myself, but only in regards to "Animation is a serious art form for all ages, takes a lot of work, and needs respect".

I'm into artsy stuff because I like art in general, and I like seeing hard work put into a film. Only one movie has ever gotten the reaction of "pretentious, nigh-incomprehensible shit" from me (Waking Life).

>>37836
>Honestly? If it's Japanese animation, it's anime, regardless of whether it's an OVA or a television series or a movie.
Its an animated movie.

>>37836
>I'm only in favor of sectioning off anime and Eastern animation from Western animation when discussing cultural tropes and so on. But even then, I think those are blurring. Western animation has a lot of blue-haired girls, tsunderes, and that knee-high sock/short skirt fetish, not just anime.
That doesn't make any more sense to me than giving German Expressionism its own category instead of counting it as film. Cultural differences offer no greater change to a work than its genre does. And maybe considerably less. A Tolkienesque Fantasy is going to be 95% the same whether it's an anime or a western production. Can you really say that, say, Record of Lodoss War is significantly different from The Last Unicorn? Or that The Little Mermaid is more like Heavy Metal than it is like Ponyo?

>>37841
This, basically.

The same techniques and ideas and stuff underlie all of animation. It's like an Orca being a dolphin but a dolphin not being an Orca. It's all animation, it's just where you're splitting the particular hair about it.

It amuses me that The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet were actually biologically related canonically before they ended up under different owners.

>>37867
I'm excited that The Lone Ranger is opening. Bad movies really bring out the enthusiasm in some reviewers. It's like seeing everyone get all poetic during a "pooping stories" thread on 4chan.

>Like watching an elephant tap dance in your living room: Everything gets trampled and the dancing's not very good.

>A movie for the whole family to avoid.

>I mean, no wonder Depp's in disguise. No wonder Hammer wears a mask. Wouldn't you?

>There's no shame in getting upstaged by Johnny Depp. Coming up third behind a dead crow, however, signals trouble.

>I hate THE LONE RANGER as much as THE LONE RANGER hates The Lone Ranger.

>Somewhere, around the hour-and-a-half mark, The Lone Ranger makes the fateful decision not to end. Worse, the movie keeps not-ending for another full hour.

>Whoever decided to revive the Lone Ranger would normally not be consulted for bright ideas again at any time in the near future.

Hollywood has been experiencing egregious budget inflation for the last ten years, in spite of domestic box office only increasing by a blip during the same time frame (internationally it's a different story, but no one gives a shit about that for some bizarre reason). There's an even more pronounced discrepancy in gaming, but the general story is that a humongous apparatus has been built on top of past one-off successes out of all proportion to future anticipated revenue. You have vested interests cordoning off chunks of the movie business and charging extortionate rates simply because it's too much trouble to look elsewhere, with sprawling productions dwarfing the minnows in charge of it all, leading to the most massive misallocation of resources since Fox's Cleopatra, and at the end of it all they have to justify all this largesse and make insane box office predictions. It's like Pentagon pork without the spigot, it's expensive just because it's expensive.

Its like a few years back they were actually looking forward for a short time as I remember talk of digital distribution of films at the same time as theater launch, but then they hit a stride of Billion Dollar Blockbusters and so Hollywood then couldn't be asked to continue that plan. But now they are still doing well but not how well they think they should and likely won't look back at the digital plan since they've got a stick up their hinder about things now.

Gotta admit, 10/10 on the marketing for the movie alright.

Some thinking too much about the "X-men being an cultural analog" thing and then getting twitchy if Trask goes as far as they've gone in the comics.

HA HA! Seth is fed up with Fox so bad it looks like he's nuking their rep for letting his latest POS get the greenlight. Maybe all Trey and Matt have to do is get Comedy Central on board for another Presidential Sitcom "Hey O-bama"

>>38315
So you think Seth MacFarlane is being "deliberately" racist instead of racist. That's quite a favorable interpetation.

>>38316
Personally, I just think he's a hack who understands that racist or intolerant humor can be funny, and wants to pull that off, but doesn't understand how to do it in such a way as to not come off as an unfunny asshole.

Basically, he doesn't understand that he's not Louis C.K.

>>38316
hmm I guess this could be his natural affinity coming though like at the Academy Awards. Maybe giving too much credit since I didn't think something could be this bad without a distinctive purpose besides being a show.

2 Guns was dumb summer fun, as usual. Didn't know it was based on one of BOOM! Studios comics until recently though.

>HBO already remaking Maison Close because people are too lazy and dumb to read subtitles

You don't deserve attractive French prostitutes. Oh well, it could be worse than HBO I suppose. I hope they don't butcher it too much for American audiences.

It wasn't BAD, I guess, I just expected more from the District 9 people.

>>38465
Yeah. I went expecting a badass live action Alita movie, and got... something that was okay, I guess.

Ah, too many unexpected feelings! I'm sure the finale will slay me. I love this series.

dear geek news blogs

fanart (even the best damn fanart ever) is not news
image macros from tumblr are not news
speculation from fans who are not connected in any way to a project and have no more insider info than any other fan is not news

but to be fair if there wasn't this padding then they'd barely ever update

>>38469
Since District 9 wasn't really action, I think that might have been a wrong expectation.

From that mysterious land of the east, come joy and terror.
