Apparently someone made a movie about EVERYTHING. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/suckerpunch/I mean holy crap the only way these strippers can escape the mental hospital is by using their imagination to fight samurai and giant robots in WW2 with dragons and shit.  OR SOMETHING. Practically a year away, but damn if that trailer isn't the greatest thing ever. |

Honestly, this movie will either cement the director as a god or it will begin his slide to M Night status.

Yeah, I think I'll have to schedule that day off work. Looks awesome. And even if it's nowhere as good as the trailer, there's still killer strippers, so it's a win either way, really.  |

Or if it's only ok, maybe it will just cancel out the fact the he also directed "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole", which even for a kids movie looks underwhelming. Snyder has been working on this movie for some time though, and unlike the other stuff he's directed (Dawn of the Dead remake, 300, and Watchmen) he's co-writing the screenplay and it isn't based off of a graphic novel or another movie. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but really the main thing that's had me skeptical about this movie was when they announced most of the cast around a year ago. At the time, when all we had to go off of was a brief synopsis, I wasn't really sure that a large portion of the actresses they got would be able to pull it off. The trailer looks much more action oriented than I was expecting though, so if they're only required to look good throughout most of the movie, it could end up working. |

Zack Snyder sure makes awesome movie trailers. Not sure how you can go wrong with a giant samurai with a chain gun, however.

I saw this the other day and I thought it was badass. Then a dragon came out of no where and I was like, "huh?". Then I though this movie was BADASS. Woooooo.

I like the part where that chick's fighter plane gets bit in half by a dragon and she's STILL SHOOTING AT IT AND LAUGHING. And yet I have the feeling what's really happening is more awesome than what it looks like.
Oh who am I kidding. I like the part where the whole trailer happens.

Is your menu bar or CTRL-F keys broken? What menu bar, it's quicktime plug-in I was bitching about. No menu bar, no CTRL-F. Does quicktime pro allow that on the "Click to View" of the website? I'll confess I didn't realize there was a download option until I just went back to check if I'd simply missed a menu bar or CTRL-F in QT for the last 8 years. Since most trailers don't have that option I didn't realize it was there. I now have a nice, large 1080P version. Whee, Dragons. Time to put this on a USB and watch it on the TV. |

I dunno. When I heard someone describe Scott Pilgrim, I was not impressed. When I saw the trailer, I was floored.
My experience with Sucker Punch was entirely the opposite.
Sounded awesome on paper, and even as I got to the Quicktime site and saw the background image I was ready to be thrilled. Then the trailer left me cold. The action all seems heartless and arbitrary. There's no soul and story to ground the over-the-top ideas, and I couldn't bring myself to care what I was seeing. Hell, that might turn out to be an advantage. Maybe they're saving the spoilers for the film itself. Great. Right now it looked like one messy, chaotic live-action cartoon.
Meh.

If they start explaining why the cute girls in miniskirts are going kung-fu on the giant robots, I'm walking out of the damn theater.

Hey, all I need is the weak coating of varnish that The Fifth Element called a plot. Too much sound and fury signifying nothing and I start wondering why I'm watching. It has to be in the service of something, and the fact that the Movie Gods didn't see fit to put any of that in the trailer makes me suspicious that it's not in the service of anything worth watching.

It's not mindless actions I'm worried about, it's having a shit movie wrapped around pretty effects. I mean I felt very similar with 300, I thought going in it would be non stop badassery but after leaving the movie it felt sort of flat. I still can't quite put my finger on why I didn't like 300 but this movie could very well go down the same path.

300 is not rewatchable. I enjoyed it the first time, but can not stand watching it now. It's just too much of the slow motion crap and too wrapped up in it's own gimmick.
That's why I really worry about this. Snyder has the opportunity to be a new George Lucas. If he doesn't filter his "creativity", it gets too wrapped up in it's own kitsch. His best two films were from using someone else's subject matter.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

If you were forced to suffer through that drek, how is it you have to "trick" the wife? We have a deal, if I have to watch a chick flick, she has to watch a movie of my choosing. I haven't had to watch a chick flick since I traded Starship Troopers for Titanic. |
