cool posters

They are, at that.

Should I be psyched for Never Let Me Go? Should I even bother watching One Hour Photo?

I liked the novel, and Mark Romanek has proven himself to be a good visual director from his music videos. In regards to One Hour Photo, it's visually great (especially the dream sequence) and Robin Williams has an Evangelion figure, but the movie kind of loses it when it tries to explain William's psychosis.

The American is going to be great because it's straight up lone man zen pulp.

New Judge Dredd details shaping up

Cautious. But the involvement of Alex Garland is a good sign.

Last third of Sunshine ;_;

He also wrote the screenplay adaptation of Never Let Me Go btw.

Speaking of comic book adaptations...

New Kenneth Anger!

And Shane Carruth uploaded his Primer to GoogleVideo, if you haven't seen it already.

Good to see something new from Anger.

I really wish this could find its way online.

Guys!

Guys.

Nick Cave.

Rewriting The Crow.

If we're never seeing Gladiator 2, this is the next best thing.

I guess Ridley Scott doesn't like it when he gets good scripts.

the (brief) description of the original draft actually sounds kind of cool, got me daydreaming about terence malick directing Aliens movies.... are there copies of this floating around the internet or is this serious insider bullshit?

Still no idea if this is the real deal or not.

Still worth reading.

Neat actually.

It's not a bad way to refer to them, I think. Better than xenomorph or linguafoeda acheronsis or internecivus raptus or whatever else the extended universe has cooked up.

Still think "Kane's son" was the best. 8)

but the whole point of a cephalopod is that their feet come out of their head. the 'en' is probably supposed to make you think of 'encephalitis,' when in fact it is the -itis that refers to the inflammation and not the 'en' part. i mean i know how anal this sounds but i can't help myself.

Don't they call it a "bisexual" "encephalopod" in the first film?

Oh, what a waste of a top post.

Saw Toy Story 3 the other day.

Definitely found myself imagining my room as a playground for toys just like I used to after having seen the first film all those years ago, so it was successful.

The villain is a strangely pure nihilistic breed for a modern all-ages film.

I didn't really have any desire to see toy story 3. After reading the plot synopsis though it sounds a lot like the Brave Little Toaster. I might take a look just as a comparison.

Just watched this "Skynet Edition" of Terminator 2, and all of the restored scenes were completely fucking unnecessary... especially that future ending! Ugh, ugh, ugh. The theatrical ending at least has a touch of ambiguity, but Old Sarah Connor at the playground is like... wow, so terrible. I think I have a bad taste in my mouth particularly because of this version, but despite all the great summer blockbuster action, guns and explosions and chase scenes and everything, I now find that T2 is just so overwhelmed by cornball dialogue and time paradox plotholes. The Terminator, on the other hand, is a consistently menacing and gritty '80s nighttime city thriller. There's just nothing like the terminator coming for Sarah at the police department, or the arrival of the new models at the underground resistance.

Saw Inception and Predators. Got nothing to add about the former except that the fight scene while gravity is spinning (not "zero gravity") was one of the most joyously choreographed and visually arresting action scenes in years. I was laughing out loud the whole time like NO WAY.

Predators is the best Predator movie besides Predator, so uh, bully for that I guess. Next time, set your standards higher! Try and make a Predator movie better than Predator! I know, "it's sacrilege," but I promise I won't mind.

If it's better than Predator 2 then that's a welcome change of pace from the AvP franchise. Needless to say, I guess.

Saw Carlos this weekend. Good God! I have absolutely no qualms with calling it a masterpiece. The sheer scope of it all. Lot's of style and some good tunes to boot.

And that OPEC raid, people will be talking about that for years.

You can find torrents around, so hit it up.

David Webb Peoples, the man who wrote the screenplays for Blade Runner, Unforgiven and Twelve Monkeys, is now writing Ridley Scott's adaptation of The Forever War.

Winona Ghost Ryder · lives in a monochromatic world Joined: 04 Dec 2006

The original screenplay for Soldier was supposedly great btw. Shame what Paul W.S. Anderson did to it :(

Aw man, I remember a David Foster Wallace interview on Charlie Rose, where he went on about how much he loved David Webb Peoples.

remote · Joined: 11 Dec 2006

That is definitely exciting. I've always wished Scott had stuck to sci-fi.

Wonder if he can do anything as good as Alien or Blade Runner again...

Uh, this trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's Devil is kind of bad (though the poster is kinda neat), but I'll admit I'm somewhat curious.

What I really want to know: what started this trend of that huge bass drop at the big dramatic moment in every fucking trailer made now?

hm. The Dark Knight certainly popularized it, but it had to be from before that. Zack Snyder movies maybe?
