Interference Random Movie Talk Episode VI: Return of Lance's Mom

[LMP]

The movie was pretty bad. I've heard the animated show got better as it went on, but I'm not a fan of the animation compared to the original miniseries with Tartakovsky's designs.

It's aimed at too young of a level for me to really enjoy, and like you said, the Tartakovsky cartoons were better.

Man, I was just talking to someone about how awesome the Batman animated series was... incredibly adult and gritty for what was marketed as a kid's show.

I am really looking forward to this live action thing, though. I think after BSG Lucas definitely has the gauntlet thrown down, and I anticipate he'll deliver a quality product.

Whether or not anyone will recognize this is another thing altogether. The haters and critics will be out in full force against this one, no pun intended.

 

[LMP]

I've been looking forward to it as well. Hopefully he's able to snag some cast members and writers from Firefly, BSG, Lost or something, that'd be great.

Oh, did you know that the Kurtzman/Orci duo did a "script polish" on Watchmen after Snyder's draft? That sounds like a pure studio lackey job to me.

June 11! Holy shit, hooray!

Almost makes up for The Tree of Life being ever-further away. Almost.

 

[Lancemc]

From the new Von Trier.

 

[lazarus]

Maybe he should have called THIS one Manderlay.

If you get my meaning.

 

[impy13]

Not at all the route I was expecting you to take with that one, Laz.

 

[lazarus]

I wouldn't mind Dancing in THAT Dark?

UPDATED!! The WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE Trailer...Is Now Online!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

 

[impy13]

Awesome trailer to complement what was already one of the best posters I've seen for a film in a long, long time. I'm excited about this one.

 

[Lancemc]

Doesn't really do all that much for me. Whole thing just feels so... familiar.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Pretty cool trailer. Other than the use of that song by Win Butler and his merry band of walking assholes. Karen O. is doing the music for the actual movie, which is hot. You take the good with with the bad I guess.

 

[impy13]

I guess she and Spike are on good terms again.

Maybe I just think it looks awesome since I loved the book so much as a kid. Plus Arcade Fire. But I'm loving the style of it.

 

[impy13]

See? That's a fucking one sheet.

 

[Lancemc]

Coens show grit

Anyone bring this up here yet?

 

[Dalton]

I'm afraid there's

 

[Dalton]

I'm kind of retarded in love with the Where the Wild Things Are trailer.

 

[Dalton]

I just watched the Mysteries of Pittsburgh trailer - they changed that entire story.

 

[lazarus]

I'm afraid there's

That limo scene was fucking hot.

I just watched the Mysteries of Pittsburgh trailer - they changed that entire story.

Not gay enough for you?

Blu-ray.com - Quantum of Solace Blu-ray Review

Anyone pick up this blu-ray yet? The review has me pretty damn excited, notably with regards to the audio transfer, which seems an upgrade to an already magnificent sound design, my favorite from last year in fact.

 

[lazarus]

Potential teaser artwork for Shutter Island:

And an on-set diary from some Argentinean filmmaker:

Diary from the Set of Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ - RopeofSilicon.com Movie News, Trailers, Reviews and More

She mentions Welles' The Trial, Hitchcock, After Hours, and Luis Buñuel. Alright, this is now my most-anticipated of the year.

 

[corianderstem]

Ooh, I forgot they were making that into a movie. I really liked the book.

 

[Lancemc]

badass

I'm currently reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and I found out that they're making a film of it, due out this year, starring Viggo Mortensen, AND they used the abandoned PA turnpike (a 13-mile stretch of the original turnpike that they stopped using in 1968 and has just been left to slowly crumble and be overgrown) to film quite a bit of it, which is awesome.

It was discussed a while ago:

The Road

 

[LMP]

I really want to dive into some Cormac before The Road gets released. That Shutter Island poster is fantastic.

And if we're talking about intense things, I saw The Deer Hunter for the first time last night... who wants to play some Russian roulette?

Also, did anyone see that Bruno got slapped with an NC-17? Not that surprising, if you read the description of the footage showed at SXSW.

 

[Lancemc]

Secured my tickets for a midnight showing of Star Trek: The Motion Picture this friday night.

Hooray for me and nerds everywhere.

 

[LMP]

It's the Director's Cut, right?

 

[Lancemc]

I'd assume.

 

[LMP]

So it doesn't completely suck. Cool.
