Default Movie Watch
So, are there any upcoming movies you are looking forward to? Here's the trailer for the remake of "". It looks good to me, but I'm not a huge fan of the original, so I've got no emotional investment.

I'm a huge fan of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion effects, but the screenplay for Clash of the Titans sucked so bad that I don't care much for it. I'm also a big fan of Greek mythology, so the way the screenplay shits all over the stories is irksome. This preview makes it seem like they took a mediocre film and remade it into a soulless twitchfest, so I'm neither excited nor worried about it.

Now if someone remakes Jason and the Argonauts, I might need to slap someone.

I don't know why, but that Avatar movie offends me. I don't want to see it, I don't want to see anymore previews of it, I want it to go away.

I wish I knew why it bothers me so ... :girlthink:

Perhaps your Uncanny Valley threshold is set fairly sensitive.

You mean apart from it being some really thinly veiled FURRY PORN?

The reason I will not be seeing this movie is that I'm pretty sure I prefer this part out of context:

"You give me what I want and I'll see to it that you get your legs back--your REAL legs."

The original Clash of the Titans was pretty much an FX fest and nothing else. Well, Burgess Meredith had a good line.

While I am a month behind, it is the spam promoting the fucking thing that offends me.

I have but one thing to say to the producers of this remake: robot owl or gtfo.

I saw a trailer over the weekend for the new A-Team movie. Um. I was kind of intrigued and thought I might like to see it. :duck:

I'm leaning toward wanting to see that as well. Admittedly, they didn't show much, and the fade in and out editing made me want to vomit. But it looks better treated than other shows being movied from my childhood (Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky & Hutch).

I am completely obsessed with the new Wolfman movie. I may not be able to afford to see it while it's in theaters due to broke-ass hoboness, but by gum I will try.

With Benicio Del Toro starring as the wolf man, they must have saved a fortune on makeup artists.

It's going to be either shear awesomeness, or a total suck-fest like virtually every other video game movie.

I don't get the lack of Persians. I want to see an Iranian babe with a bow, dammit!

The English accent is also a jar. The accent used in the games is much nicer.

Of course this isn't the real trailer for the upcoming movie Machete, but I think it gives a pretty good idea.

That looks like one of the Shogun Warriors I used to collect as a kid. In the comic book version they were giant robots like that. Gaiking (assuming that's the name of the robot) looks like Mazinga.

ETA: I don't remember ever seeing Gaiking, but reading my own link says this IS one of the freaking Shogun Warriors. Apparently the toy line was cobbled together from various anime shit I never saw. My forays at TVTropes constantly remind me that the world of anime is so vast that I'll never have the geek cred to grasp a fraction of it.

A lot of 80's toy lines were that way. The first couple sets of Transformers were cobbled together from like half a dozen different Japanese IP's.

A list of 75 movie remakes or reboots in the works surely has a gem or two, such as Porky's.
