Apparently after the credits there's a short part where

Thanos

is shown, hinting at either Avengers 2 or a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. First is more likely than second.

 

Word is Marvel Studios wants to do both.

Doomsday.

 

Rhona Mitra and cannibalistic punk-rockers in a sort of post-apocalyptic Scotland..

 

Backed up with supporting cast from the likes of Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell, Alexander Siddig, Adrian Lester and Sean Pertwee.

 

A lethal virus spreads throughout the British isles,infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands. To contain the threat, acting authorities brutally quarantine the country as it succumbs to fear and chaos. The quarantine is successful. Three decades later, the Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, including Eden Sinclair, is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare

 

And thus.. the boss entrance..

POTC:On Stranger Tides: Better than I heard it was. I miss the old characters. Sold movie, and wow, that mermaid was H0T! Blackbeard wasn't as scary and intimidating as he should have been. 7.5/10

DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Second official trailer for "Iron Sky". This movie looks even better than "Dead Snow". Seriously guys, get those DVD's up for sale on Amazon already :w00t:

"In Time."

 

The first 1/3 of the movie or so was pretty decent. Nifty little sci-fi/future world premise. Thought it was heading for some kind of stylish gambling-for-time caper. But then it fell into a more typical "chase" film...kind of Fugitive-ish with the obsessive Time Keeper cop-guy bent on keeping order. Toss in the heavy-handed social haves/have-nots oppression theme and it fell by the wayside. But if you can overlook some of the silliness, it was entertaining and kinda cool. I like Cillian Murphy more in every movie I see him in...not just his US roles either. (edit: Timberlake isn't bad either. He's growing on me as an actor)

The leads are supposed to be 21 year olds, thereabouts. Why, it's pretty obvious that they are not. What's so horrible about being in your 30s. Act your age Timberlake, so to speak.

 

Maybe his days as a teenage hearthrob has convinced him that growing old and growing up will destroy his career. In in all the gangster movies he's allways the inexperienced one who invevitably betrays Mark Wallberg/ Jason Statham/ Jet Li/ whomever.

Everyone in the film with an active clock is supposed to be physically 25 (not 21), not just the leads. That's when they "stop aging" and the countdown begins. Their skin, I'm sure, would still be affected by sun/other things (so after 50 years of being "25" you might not look quite as good as you did when you were really 25).

Most of them it wasn't that bad. Anyway, didn't bother me much. At least they weren't still in highschool. ;)

 

...I barely remember Ben Foster. Think I saw that Messenger movie, which wasn't bad, but don't really recall his performance. Heh.

But the ambiguity around what exactly S.H.I.E.L.D. is provides a vexing complication. If it

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

My excuse for this is that I was drunk. I saw this Uwe Boll movie with Dolph Lundgren. Dolph is a martial-arts expert commando who is sucked into a parallel world, one that closely resembles a Ren Fair with very low production values.

 

A king gives him a mission to kill a witch. The king is wearing the worst toupee I have ever seen in a movie. He keeps adjusting it. Anyway, the witch isn't really a baddie at all: the king is.

 

I suspected as much, based mainly on the hairpiece.

 

There is some very poorly choreographed fighting in a forest, then Dolph runs away from a big rubber dragon. This dragon is to special effects what Saddam Hussein was to civil liberties. The dragon attacks a castle made of polystyrene and Dolph ends up in modern Canada where he drowns the king in the bath.

 

I cannot remember what this movie was called and I don't want to know. Dolph Lundgren, bad wigs and rubber dragons. Sheesh.

^ Noooooo.

 

Dolph never wears armour in the movie. Not once. He wears and old olive green army jacket and an Arab shemagh-type scarf. You never see the castle either, just a polystyrene wall with some fat Ren Fair guards idling about outside. The biggest pitch battle in the movie involves about twenty people. It's like a bad D&D LARPing session gone horribly wrong.

 

So that poster is slightly misleading. And there's no bad King-wearing toupee either.

The first movie at least had some really entertaining fights (with ninjas, even) and a cast rife with various Hollywood stars.

 

At least it looked like Dolph had some fun.

Although you do expect some better choices from a man with an IQ of 160...

 

I guess the needs of a paycheque must take precedence..

That's likely why he left MIT and entered the movie business in the first place... let's face it, he's always been a second-rate action movie star.

He looks rather badass on that poster at least.

I just saw The Avengers, and all I can say is

Attached was a really long Prometheus trailer, which pisses me off because ever since the first teaser I've been attempting to stay completely spoiler free.

 

Also, the cut they showed only had one post-credits scene, the one with

Thanos' evil smile

. Can anyone describe the other one for me?

not movie but watched 6ish episodes of "Aquarion", an anime. Was so thinly veiled in terms of "this is a growin up anime! With mecha battles!" that there was an entire "so how does it feel to XXXX" conversation between girls, and you didn't need to change a WORD for it to be a discussion between girls about what having sex would be like.

 

Also saw Avengers (fantastic) and Hunger Games recently. Avengers is obviously fantastic, and SHIELD in the movies is part of Homeland Security, but the US Military pulled out because of how muddied it was as to who Col. Fury reports to.

 

Hunger games was.... a WHOLE lot of boring. The director needs to lock down his camera so that I can actually watch the movie, and needs to figure out how to properly choreograph things. It also felt VERY much like it'd changed formats given how randomly they used the commentators on the games (basically it's an exposition dump so you know what the hell is going on). If they'd either stepped things back and had it more like a football game where you watch what's on the screen but still have the commentators going every so often (even on inane bs) or, had just gotten rid of them and had the whole thing take place IN the games, it would have been much better. Honestly, it didn't amp me up at all and just felt like it was turning it's wheels to get to the interesting stuff that'd show up in the second movie.

Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

 

Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
