LesterGroans posted:Going off of that, I know tons of former drama nerds who will see the film just so they can bitch about the performances and that their favourite cast member isn't in the film. A friend posted on Facebook tonight that Rock of Ages looks awful, and another friend posted that she wasn't impressed by the cast because they aren't Musical Theatre people (or at least the awesome part of the cast that I named). But gently caress you, Tom Cruise is awesome.

That's weird. Isn't Rock of Ages basically Glee-style karaoke rock songs anyway? Tom Cruise is easily gonna be the best thing in that movie. See, I want reactions like that. I posted the trailer and most people have been positive.

I was at the cinema last night to see The Raid (which is loving awesome, by the way) and they had the cardbard marquee for Rock of Ages in the lobby. When I saw the "pick up the cardboard guitar and have a friend take a photo of you being a rock star!" thing on the front, I knew without looking at the cast that the movie was going be complete and utter poo poo. I don't care who's in it or what it's about - merely purchasing a ticket is going to be enough to shrivel your brain with psychic herpes. Don't do it.

Android Bicyclist posted:The latest Brave tv commercial featured music by the Dropkick Murphy's "I'm Shipping Up to Boston." They're an Irish punk band. I'm guessing Celtic heritage was the idea but were they thinking? There's no Boston in Scotland but there's a Boston, Ireland and Boston, England (the namesake) so the song makes no sense to the movie on at least 3 levels.

There is this whole movement right now with standees and banners and bunting getting more and more ostentatious. It is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. That said, those things are developed by outside companies and you shouldn't judge the film by them.

I want to hug the team that created this trailer for the re-release of the Star Wars trilogy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39J2zBB-AyU Seeing it in the theater without expecting it blew my mind. I had thought it was just going to be just the originals, but then holy poo poo! Special edition! Of course this is what created the slippery slope of George Lucas editing his movies into four different versions, but for that brief moment in the trailer, all poo poo was awesome in the Star Wars universe.

There's some fascinating stuff behind the first ever trailer for "Star Wars". I'm sure most goons are familiar with how much of a disaster the production of "Star Wars" was, from deserts destroying sets, to the film going overbudget and way overschedule. By Christmas of 1976, Fox had considered pulling the plug on the project several times, and things weren't helped when the above trailer played to bewildered audiences. Strangely enough, Fox and Lucasfilm decided to advertize "The Empire Strikes Back", the exact same way with this teaser that debuted in the fall of 1979, attached to "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" or "The Black Hole". Now we reach the most infamous of "Star Wars" trailers for "Revenge of the Jedi". Yes, this title was used so late in the making of the film that not only did posters and action figures carry the name, but this trailer, which debuted before an August 1982 re-release of the first "Star Wars", also carries it. On that topic, have the weirdest "Star Wars" trailer, for "Empire". No footage whatsoever from the movie, instead it's all Ralph McQuarrie's concept art and a few production photos.

EDIT: Ignore; fan trailer. For another really great "Star Trek" teaser, look no further than the first one, narrated by Orson Welles and with an awesome variation on the Paramount logo by legendary effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull.

The two guys that appear at around the 0:30 mark of the fake Star Trek XII trailer are from a scene lifted from Alien Resurrection - the second guy is in fact Brad Dourif, who by the way did appear in several episodes of Star Trek Voyager. It comes from the scene where the Queen embryo is surgically removed from the Ripley clone. The shot of Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a bad photoshop effect placed over a screencap from Sherlock as well - and that's probably exactly what it is. I'm surprised anyone fell for such an obvious fake.

It's actually not an awful fake. If they did a better job with Cumberbatch at the end, tightened up the shots of Chris Pine and removed all of the incredibly silly Alien: Resurrection it would have appeared to be one of those show-nothing fakes. The sad part is, you're now in the company of Harry Knowles by believing it was real. The good part: you're not actually Harry Knowles.

You can't post all of those and not the first trailer for Episode I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6hOlI9cg4o It's difficult to remember just how long the gap was between Jedi and Phantom Menace, and how big this trailer was as a result. This trailer pushed so many huge buttons: lightsabers, blasters, blaster sound effects, double lightsabers, C-3PO, space battles, Binary Sunset. In retrospect, everything that was wrong with the film is visible in the trailer too, but who noticed?

The first trailer for "Wreck-It Ralph" is up (video is about mid-way down). Could be fun, though I'm not crazy about the music in the second half of the trailer.

Yeah, the music isn't the best match. It would have been more clever naming-wise, had the song been paired with it's popular remix, Levels. I love all the cameos. I thought when I saw the teaser that they would just have homages to the classic 8-bit characters (Donkey Kong vs Mario, Wreck-It Ralph vs Fix-It Felix), but nope! Clyde, Bowser, Zangief, Dr Wily, Dr Egghead (Whatever happened to Robotnik?) ... awesome. Should be a fun movie, and the kids (and our inner-kids) will love it. I wonder if they'll come out with an Arcade game?

First trailer for Django Unchained got leaked early: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/django-unchained-trailer I'm not the biggest QT fan, but this does look pretty cool and everyone involved is a pretty good actor, so I'll probably check it out. The music is about what you'd expect for a QT movie trailer, although the way it's cut seems a little slicker than his previous films. DiCaprio in particular seems like he's enjoying the role, and it's nice to see him make something besides a scrunched up frowny face in a movie. And while it would've been cool to see Will Smith in a QT film, I can't see him being able to not smile or look smug or cool long enough to do the character justice in this one.

# ? Jun 6, 2012 22:24 |

That's not Samus, that's Sargent Calhoun apparently. The price-tag for characters drops significantly if you're just using them for a cameo, right? Or maybe they factor in the marketing it'll do. Basically I'm trying to minimize the cost of that stupid Villain Anonymous bit.

Considering that Nintendo's financial numbers haven't been great lately (IIRC), it probably wasn't that much. Plus, it was (only) Bowser, not a Yoshi, Samus, or even Mario.

I present to you, the most underwhelming trailer ever. This trailer was shown before IMAX screenings of "The Dark Knight" in 2008, and it's the only time I've heard an audience boo a trailer. The other times I saw "Dark Knight" in IMAX the trailer got a disbelieving laugh when it was over.

Nothing strange about people groaning at the thought of a movie from the arse of M Night Shyamalan. The guy's a good director, but he needs to do a couple of work for hire projects to remind people of the fact while he takes longer on his own scripts. Tarsem Singh has the same problem.

The problem with that argument is that his movies have gotten progressively shittier. The scripts he writes suck poo poo and the work for hire movie he did sucked even more poo poo, more than Lady in the Water. He deserves to have people groan or laugh when his name shows up in a trailer.
