Title: 10,000BC Post by: sidereal on January 15, 2008, 11:23:54 AM I was going to make fun of it for having dinosaurs and being some kind of Young Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism) propaganda movie. But I went back and watched the trailer online, and there aren't any dinosaurs. Just mammoths (10,000BC? fine), smilodons (that's more of a stretch, but close), and some kind of evil ostrich (I'll take their word for it). Now I'm cautiously optimistic.

EDIT: I also watched a second preview. Titanic buildings, domesticated horses, and SAILING ships? Seriously, they should have just added dinosaurs to really toss even the last shred of reality out the window.

Then, everyone in the preview started speaking English, in 10000 BC, and I burst out laughing. Not just English, but English with that faux British accent.

Title: Re: 10,000BC Post by: JWIV on January 16, 2008, 03:19:25 PM At best I'm hoping for a pseudo-Conan or maybe Beastmaster style movie. Wanton violence and human sacrifices to elemental gods and ziggurats. Lots of ziggurats. Expecting anything else out of this movie is idiotic.
and tits. There better be tits. edit for tits Title: Re: 10,000BC Post by: Nebu on January 16, 2008, 03:26:34 PM No, it was aflat. :rimshot: That was good. I give the joke more stars than I predict for the movie. Title: Re: 10,000BC Post by: Lantyssa on January 16, 2008, 09:01:51 PM That was good. I give the joke more stars than I predict for the movie. One whole star for the joke? How generous!(I liked it, but I love horrible puns.) Title: Re: 10,000BC Post by: raydeen on January 17, 2008, 03:01:05 AM I"m digging on it. I don't expect much more than a neat campy B movie. Bubblegum for the eyes.

Title: Re: 10,000BC Post by: Venkman on January 22, 2008, 08:52:28 PM This movie exists solely because the artists figured out how to get their serverfarm to render all that hair in under three years.
It's like that Mission Impossible movie which was made mostly because John Woo had some cool sfx he wanted to try out. |
