Dear God no, they've turned Tintin into Jedward 
Everyones favourite hitler youth looks good.

Ive been reading the reviews on this movie, sounds like the ones who dislike it are the religious type as there are anti-creationism references or something like that..... sounds good to me
Yeah but I bet it pales in comparison to the awesomeness of The Beaver!
SO a year between them.

Damn them!
A Tribe Called Quest documentary
If the LOTR films are anything to go by, they'll probably last about a year though. You'll have just enough time after watching the first one to have a quick piss and then it's straight back in for the second instalment.
New rise of the planet of the apes trailer, the cgi still looks like cgi, but I'm digging the way the story is going and seeing ape filled chaos.
Hobbit news, Barry Humphries is playing the goblin king, brilliant.
gambit, I watched Rubber and it was rubbish
Anyone seen Tree of Life? or hasn't it been released yet?
Shouldn't that be in the Transfer forum?
er.....no?
It had a limited release a lil' while ago. Reviews were mixed, I'm waiting for the erm .. DVD to come out.
Gotta watch the Social Network
Decent reviews on IMDB, though... which to be fair, doesn't mean much.
Rubber was indeed absolutely terrible...
I watched it after thinking "this'll be a fun hungover film" but instead it was an incredibly pretentious avant garde french film (but not in a good way Spoony) masquerading as a tongue in cheek B-movie....
If they'd actually made the B-Movie, it would've (or may have been) interesting..As it is they(or rather He - Mr.Oizo from Flat Eric Levi ad fame) take it incredibly seriously, whilst simultainiously trying to be irreverent and have it both ways...There's a whole absurdist sub-plot about some people watching the film and commenting on how stupid it is, in a desert, like they're watching a safari play, but rather than being an interesting conceit, it plays out as an incredibly boring and achingly desperate attempt to be meta and clever, but badly...Any time he's stuck for plot he just throws in something absurdist and inane...but mainly just inane. It's one long lesson in how to mess up absurdism by trying to be clever, but not being clever. I read reviews before hand and though "they're just being snobbish" but no, they were right , it's terrible. Almost as if he was using the absurdist motif as a way of avoiding criticism for being an awful film maker.
It basically sucks giant donkey balls. I could write a thesis on how annoyed I was with that film.
Some of the shots of the tyre are nice though.
Reviews were mixed for Tree of Life? 82% on RT and only 1 rotten from top critics?
Malick is always mixed with the audience though, however I'm in the 'he's a genius' boat, because well, he clearly is a genius. Not many create films as beautiful as he does. Love all......4 of them, and likely to be 5 whenever it gets a limited release here.

I wonder how long it will take for Hollywood to stop blatantly using 9/11 inspired imagery in all their blockbusters. It's getting a bit tedious.
It's sort of a nothing poster that though really isn't it? It doesn't tell us anything. Might as well be a fan made one.
The trailer will likely be much the same. The equivalent of this...
I'd be very surprised if it had any clips in it for a start...They're still filming.
It's just a commercial drip drab of info to keep the net happy and the saliva wet.

Aaaaaaaaawwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
....BUILDINGS FALLING....9/11 IMAGERY....OH wait that didn't happen in like 90% of action blockbusters before 9/11 anyway right?
Feel free to correct me by posting all those posters featuring collapsing buildings - that resemble the twin towers - that were used to advertise movies before 9/11. If your 90% claim is even remotely true, that shouldn't take you long. Why not kick things off with a blockbuster? In your own time.
Meanwhile, here's some even more blatant 9/11 imagery for the less observant amongst us.
Why look. A skyscraper. With a flaming hole in it, in the shape of some sort of large flying thing.
Gee, isn't that strangely reminiscent of that time when those other two flying things put burning holes in skyscrapers?

agreed. wasn't so hard.
The skyscraper collapses in Die Hard? Cool. Must watch it again. I don't remember that bit.
The skyscraper collapses in The Dark Knight? Cool. Must watch it again. I don't remember that bit.
tbh, im just messing. but posters alone weren't the point, it's like with you saying "9/11 inspired imagery in all their blockbusters", i assumed it wasn't yours either.
skyscrapers have been a staple of action blockbusters for years, yet whenever they are used in them now, people are like all "shit 9/11, look at that", despite yeah being in literally 100's, if not 1000's of films prior to 9/11 anyway.
edit - probably not 1000's actually -_-

I don't actually think there's all that much 9/11 imagery in the movies themselves tbh (although the whole "war on terror" that kicked off as a result is writ large in most blockbusters since).
Regarding 9/11 imagery, I was thinking specifically about the posters. You have to admit, surely, the two posters above have clearly been influenced by the collapse of the twin towers?
