two slick-assed movie must-sees!

and naturally, everyone watching cable has
prolly already seen them... but i haven't,
i only knew of the possibility of them
being made

at least... the trailers kick ass (thanks
to tj for hooking me up)

fantastic four

sin city

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

i think f4 is going to be pretty cool, at
least based on the trailer. of course, like
i said to tj, i felt the same way about
daredevil and the trailer basically lied.

there are (of course) some cheesy parts
in the trailers... but i'm willing to overlook
them on behalf of the fact that the rest
of the trailer is kick ass.

as for sin city... holy shit that looks
awesome!!!! as said to tj... i think that
movie would kick ass without dialogue...
or if it were done with text boxes...

still... i'm down with seeing them...
rest assured i'll be there [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Tj is cool....... [img]wink.gif[/img] i just had to say that.. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I saw a brief clip of sin city about a month or so back and have been pumped to see it since...saw the trailer last night...and I still want to see it but I saw something that made me a little less pumped...Robert Rodriguez is directing it and if anyone saw his last movie...Once Upon a Time in Mexico...you will understand why this made the movies stock drop in my book...

yeah sin city looks cool..im a pretty big Benicio Del Toro fan..

i dunno about fantastic four though..

considering the ridiculous surge of comics to
movies lately... (and i mean in the last 15
years), i admit i have my doubts about f4....
but the trailer gave me hope... and i'm willing
to overlook some cheesy pc animation if the
bulk of the movie can cinch itself together.

sin city should get an award for the trailer
alone...

er... other than the 'big trunk' line [img]wink.gif[/img]

i like del toro too... he's pretty cool

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">Every movie has to have a different attitude from the viewer when viewed.I liked Once upon a Time in Mexico.It was sequil to Desparado and Desparado was a simple movie done on a small budgett and thus Once Upon a time was the same,simple.Both movies were done with style in mind,kind of like Quitin Terantino flicks,heavy on style and less so on plot.

But if your not into it I get it.Its not for everyone.

Sin City also has a HUGE bonus to go with it. Frank Miller, the guy who created Sin City also Co-Directed it and had the majority of the input that went into the film. Frank's not Hollywood oriented at all so it should keep true to the book.

Fantastic Four has surface appeal but I don't think there's going to be anything about it that's good beyond the effects (Save for The Thing) and Trailers that will be attached at the beginning. I remember the first Fantastic Four movie that was never released (How is it that they aren't released yet you can buy them on E-Bay, like the Gen13 movie??????) but it was great! Completely cheesy, better than Captain America Lundgren style, but not quite as good as the Justice League movie they made, that was so over the top cheesy it was great!

Other movies comic oriented on the way are Ghost Rider (Directed by the same guy who did Dumbdevil), Superman (A mockery of anything Christoper Reeves, Tom Welling, and that one guy way back when who proved you that a grey suit isn't cool ever did), damnit I know there's more but at 2 am all I can think about is how funny it is that the song Toxic is actually toxic to one's ears... And oh yeah, Spawn 2 which would have been far better than the first is probably out of the picture completely now.

oh so much to reply too!!!!! *wags*

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">two words: nicholas cage....
just be happy that didn't happen, eh? lol

i still wish they had gone more alex ross style
in as far as character styles.... shame really.

two more words: kevin spacey...
yum! (i just hope he can control that little
'quirk' he has... you know the one... where
he kinda just looks at the person he's talking
to and twitches his head to the side)

under the rug for good

i don't recall seeing the second movie... maybe
i have and i just don't remember. but i do know
that i really liked desperado...

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">HAHA!

The biggest problem with Once Upon a Time In Mexico is that it didn't have a full wrap around story. If you were someone who liked Johnny Depp but not Antonio Banderas then you wouldn't have seen Desperado but would have watched OUATIM and you wouldn't have really understood a damn thing going on except for there's a lot of blood, lot of guns, and a mexican jumping bean that falls off a table. Seriously.

Ali, honestly I would have preferred Nicolas Cage as Superman over this Brandon Ruth guy. If you blend Nic from Face/Off with Nic from Leaving Las Vegas then you've basically got a well balanced Clark Kent. And we've seen them give Sean Connery real looking hair so they can give it to Cage too! And Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor... that's almost as bad as Berry as Catwoman. Next Up: Leonardo DiCaprio and Alicia Silverstone star in the live action comic thriller: Plastic Man.

And did anyone notice that there's a comic book of Constantine?????

this movie:

Click here

i liked that trailer, zela [img]smile.gif[/img] i think we may
have spoken about this movie before.

as for nicholas cage... no fn way!!!!! he just
doesn't have the look of kent/superman. now
granted, i'll give ya that routh looks like a
moron... but at least he will be wearing contacts
(which makes me wonder if he will be looking
even more stupid)

i dunno... you already know how i feel. i really
dislike the 'younger' looking superman figures.
they need some big-assed football player looking
dude that is way older and matured....

like jim brown... but not black [img]tongue.gif[/img]

http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimag...39JimBrown.jpg

but i know that its supposed to be some sort of
series as he ages... but shit... enough is enough!

Go here: Click Trailers, Trailer 2 (It's the only one in English), pick your speed. http://www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/

No matter what they do with Superman at this point in time, it will suck. At least Smallville got that and went with Young Kent and his Tell Me The Truth! (Furrow Your Brow) Lana Lang.

I went back through some old Comic Movies today and found a great one, probably the best... Batman, Mask of the Phantasm... Animated just works.

i didn't care too much for that animated flick.
i prefer batman beyond... as i think its pretty
kickass. (gosh, i've used the term 'kickass'
alot in this thread)

anyways... yeah... i'm down with batman beyond [img]tongue.gif[/img]
i love the animation art... and seriously, i think
i could watch the intro to that series over and
over... its pretty slick

(anyone interested, you can see it here)

I like Beyond, and I know it's Terry not Bruce, but can't that little shit shut up for five minutes so as not to alert everyone to where he is and what he's doing? Quiet has always been essential in the Batman World... unless you're The Joker.

i liked the whole idea that batman was 'passing
on' his 'role'.... i also like the terry
character, but i agree he kinda has too much
teen in him to be very effective. i do like
his 'lets just kick their ass' attitude cuz i
like the idea of bruce wayne being the 'conscience'.

even for an old guy, at least bruce can still
kick ass if he has too.

what i DON'T like about batman beyond... is the
ridiculous girlfriend shit added in. i guess its
a bit like clark and lana... stupid additives
to appeal to more girlie females to get viewers.
(and similiarly to chloe's character in smallville,
i prefer chelsea over dana in batman beyond)

Have you managed to catch the newest cartoon version of Batman titled... you're not ready for this... okay now you are... The Batman! Bruce Wayne has a cheesy triangle jaw instead of the big broad square one and he answers The Bat Wave and has a little hand held computer looking thing with a big Bat on it that flashes and makes noise to let him know when Batman's needed. But other than that it's actually kinda nifty.

Hiya Amy! Watch Animated Batman, all 4 series.

"Kick ass" x 4

That's just the score so far..

Just how many co-directors does Sin City need? Just noticed a trailer on cable-TV (it mighta been E! Entertainment) last night which ALSO credits Quentin Tarrintino with co-directing the thing!!

I think because of what the movie is, certain directors who are fans of Miller's have come out to direct the trailers.

there are different trailers??? [img]eek.gif[/img]

Yeah. I gave you two already, plus there's the latest on TV then there's the original for the theaters and I think there's two or three teasers out there somewhere.

i suppose this is one of those times when i'm
thinking something and no one else really knows
wtf i'm thinking cuz i don't really explain and
just post.

in short, too much REM [img]redface.gif[/img]

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">i haven't seen the new one... though you should
try and find me some pics of the new design.
i haven't seen animated batman since beyond was
still new.

So, I saw Sin City last night. It's definitely a guys kind of movie. There was a lot of blood and gore and boobs. The cinematography was amazing though.

I'm just such a wuss when it comes to the blood and stuff, I found myself covering my eyes several times. It was good. Different. I liked it. Some parts just made me cringe. And it helps that it's an adaptation of a comic. You really have to escape all reality if you're going to enjoy it.
