I really like how they used actual art instead of throwing money at people to do it as CGI.
So CGI can't be art..?
No it certainly can...
Just not when it's an obvious sell out.
Like the new christmas carol movie.
You've given up this argument, but I'm going to post Zemeckis' answers anyway
You see, I think that one of the great things that we can do in the digital cinema is we can represent the classics in a way that is more accessible to a modern audience. For example, I consider this to be a graphic novel version of CHRISTMAS CAROL.
My goal here is to present this art form to tell stories that we never had a way to do before and I use the graphic novel as an example, because animation is a magnificent art form that I’m a big fan of and that I’ve been a fan of my entire life. Live action… We are never going to replace actors, we actually liberate actors. All of the fears that you are hearing about this new art form is the same fear we heard about sound, color, wide screen, and everything. My feeling is we now have this new art form to present stories that shouldn’t be animated and are impossible to make live action.
... the point is to do something that you couldn’t do in any other form and you are absolutely right and that’s the fun of it. I’ll tell you the other thing that I think is really the great bonus about having what I call “The virtual cinema” or “The digital cinema” and I’m really excited that The Walt Disney company is so dedicated to digital cinema. When you think about it, it’s amazing how they are behind this. When you think of their commitment to Pixar and their commitment to 3D and their commitment to what I’m doing, it’s huge. It’s gigantic! What I love about it is the cinema is so liberated. Your ability as a filmmaker to do things that are absolutely only restricted by your imagination. You don’t have any physical restrictions on what it is that you have to do. I think if they were alive today, guys like Hitchcock and Kubrick, they would love this art form. They would love to be able to work with this art form and that’s why, by the way, the guys who are on the train are Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, you know Jim, this isn’t happening by accident.
A movie where the main characters are an extra terrestrial race of humanoid, not completely non violent aliens in like an earlier technological era than we are in right now.
And then there is an invasion.
But long story short the invaders are humans.
See Humans are the most terrifying monsters of all.
I think that the christmas carol movie looks awful not because it's CGI or 3D or anything like that but because the only footage i've seen for it was the trailer in front of wild things
which was basically a couple super zoomy tracking shots that are obviously intended to be 'wow' shots to show off the CGI, and jim carrey says 'bah humbug' as a slapstick physical comedy punchline approximately 300 times
the 'wow shot' thing is easily forgivable since it's a trailer, but i just have this horrible feeling the movie is going to have a bunch of SCROOGE GETS HIT ON THE HEAD WITH SOMETHING AND SAYS BAH HUMBUG IN A SILLY VOICE! moments that make me cringe
also i'm surprised no one's mentioned guillermo del toro's frankenstein adaptation yet
i couldn't finish the trailer. i was raised on universal monster pictures, so nothing good can come out of me spending money to see a remake like this.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machin-
ery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat
up smoking in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities
contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and
saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tene-
ment roofs illuminated,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy
among the scholars of war,
who were expelled from the academies for crazy &
publishing obscene odes on the windows of the
skull,
who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burn-
ing their money in wastebaskets and listening
to the Terror through the wall,
who got busted in their pubic beards returning through
Laredo with a belt of marijuana for New York,
who ate fire in paint hotels or drank turpentine in
Paradise Alley, death, or purgatoried their
torsos night after night
with dreams, with drugs, with waking nightmares, al-
cohol and cock and endless balls
It depends. If he's just a hairy dude that people call Wolf Man, then no.
If he's actually part wolf, then there are three options: Wolf dick, man dick or a combo dick.
Wolf dick is probably actually the best option, because it stays inside them when not in use so it's not all flopping around when they're fighting shit.
Actually scratch that. Female werewolf is the best, because there is zero chance of any kind of dick.

especially one with werewolves

and does not feature that awful music
in fact it is mostly because of that that it is better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9KMh4Q3jgM
the beat generation was such garbage.
Yes, it is way better the manner in which they spell out the whole movie exhaustively featuring just as tepid but less obtrusive music.
Banned.
Just don't see the movie then

the movie looks like it will be good, i mean del toro is this shit when it comes to most every role he plays
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6CJenNMsb4
Welp. Terrible dialog, annoying music, and the Stygian witches look like Guillermo del Toro leftovers.

Good. I'm trying to keep promises, not usurp celebrity gossip blogs in your rss.
Jesus christ, I wish these movies would stop being produced.
the february release date should have tipped me off
however i have no illusions about clash of the titans being anything but a total unadulterated shitfest
Good or not it will be watchable
