I could not for the life of me remember the name

Fishman

Rian Johnston reunites up with Joseph Gordon-Lovitt and Bruce Willis reunites up with timetravel? Consider my interest perked.

Straightzi

Joseph Dreamboat-Levitt and Bruce Willis play the same sexy person

Vann Diras

yes

yes

yes

more action movies with joseph gordon levitt please

Straightzi

More everything with him

Grey Ghost

Speaking of movies about time, I just watched In Time

I thought it was pretty neat!
As I expected, it was a really cool concept whose implications weren't explored as thoroughly as would have liked, but the execution was entertaining enough that I let it slide

So, saw Cabin in the Woods today.

It was pretty good!

Heavy spoilers. Like, whole movie.

Spoiler:

Had the balls to wipe out the entirety of humanity.

And the scene with the Japanese schoolgirls was great.

Played with the staples of the genre, nicely meta at times, had a lot of good gags, the last scenes in the main facility were beautiful.

If you hate Whedon, it's not likely to change the opinion sets, but it's good times.

Solar

Also very good is the Hunger Games movie

highly enjoyable, with a nice mix of depth and action

I'd certainly recommend it

Grey Ghost

Bit too much shaky cam but otherwise I agree

Solar

Usually I would agree that shaky cam is bad

but I actually think that the camera-work in that movie was really cool

Spoiler:

like during the reaping where the angle switches around in cool, unconventional ways, such as the perspective being walking up the stairs looking up to the woman as she beckons, and the hallucinated scene.

certainly it leapt out at me as I watched it, and in a good way

theSquid

Holy fuck its the mass effect guy

Pony

the shaky cam in the Hunger Games actually served to make the scenes of children brutally killing each other WAY more horrifying

because you see so little, your mind has to fill in the blanks

my mind is not charitable

Seriously

nah mark vanderloo's in his 40s

he doesn't look bad, but he looks older than that

theSquid

Yeah I figured it wasn't the same actor.

I was just noticing how "Hollywoodish" everyone in those stills looked.

RubberAC

man that guy looks like he would have been a great replacement for Spartacus

I liked how it wasn't kung fu or anything

it was scrabbling away with knives, trying to pin someone and stab them

no show or flash, just attempts to fucking murder someone

Spoiler:

the exception being the snap which was possibly the only thing in the film that I felt ehhhhh about

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Cabin in the Woods was amazing.

Seriously

well that was good and creepy

Dark Raven X

Some new images showed up yesterday, after the press embargo was lifted. This one is great;

Spoiler:

Lucent

I like how that set of the Prometheus and the set of the Nostromo clearly look like they were made by the same in-universe "manufacturer," but both have a distinctly different level of financial weight to them. The Prometheus looks like a cutting edge, more expensive and clean vessel while the shabby Nostromo looks a generation or two older and like some work-horse mining vessel as it was supposed to be. I'm really impressed by that continuity of aesthetic convention from the original movie to the new one.

Dark Raven X

New Trailer



Be warned, appears to spoiler a lot of the movie.

Like. All of it.

Spoiler:

One fucking horrifying shot there of a guy's helmet melting through to his god damn skull, instantly. D:

Mulletude

The space jockey is a total dick.

I'm so godamn excited for this movie.

It had a bittersweet ending.

On that note, I wish they would do a serious robot buddy cop film.

I love Blomkamp's short films. They do so much on a budget of pocket money and with a few minutes of time.

Back when he was announced as the director of the Halo film (late 2006?) I watched Alive in Joburg and thought 'hmm, I'd watch a full movie of this'. So District 9 was kind of a big 'kid in a candy shop' moment for me.

Well yeah and then District 9 was not a full movie of Alive on Joburg.

I mean it wasn't a bad movie. I just think it could have been so much cooler.

In my completely uneducated opinion it seemed like there was a lot of studio pressure to make it into big time action movie.

But I could be way wrong

wait what the heck, you are right.

If it was a viral marketing video why did it get pulled due to copyright?

Vann Diras

district 9 is an incredible movie

so fucking good

It is super easy to pretend to be a corporation and file a complaint. Youtube now errs on the side of caution and takes stuff down without investigating. It is much harder to prove you're the rightful owner and get it restored.

Plus Weyland-Yutani is like really overprotective of their brand.

Cogliostro

So yeah, it's probably been mentioned already but still...
It doesn't surprise me that these aliens don't look much like the Xenomorphs. If you remember, they take on some of the characteristics of the host body. Remember in Alien 3 where the one is implanted in a dog... and the chestburster comes out with canine characteristics (walking on all fours, etc).

Spoiler:

Also the ship toward the end of that last trailer - coupled with the alien seated in the ship... yeah this is obviously a prequel.

tl;dr verson; SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MOVIE!!

Aneurhythmia

Just fyi, some people ain't wanna know what's in the trailers, and we've generally been spoilering that shit.

Cogliostro

Apologies tendered. I'm not going to spoiler the old Alien stuff, though. If you haven't seen that shit then it's your own fault.

You would be too if your species was known throughout the galaxy as "space jockeys."
