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.

Worried that it will explicitly state at the end that it was the hand of god which sets that plane down safely, sort of like Contact or Signs. Did anyone else get that sense from the trailer?

Why would that worry you?

It looked good otherwise, and that always spoils my enjoyment of a film. The story of someone getting religion because of an interventionist god conjured up by special effects is the dumbest kind of preachiness.

There are a lot of ersatz companies there (Yepple?) but among them, this stuck out like a sore thumb

That looks like an actual Volvo logo. Did they pay for product placement, in this of all movies?
I'm interested about the monster design too. Like a corporate, vampiric lava-lamp.

A rational want but even if it performed as well any other time of the year, which it very well may not as people now come to expect their works at a certain time and can safely and slowly get hyped, the nominations alone are so political that it'd be like Obama running for a Chi-town suburb's city council after leaving office. They're in too deep to start doing doing spring or summer releases.

People who aren't ready at the drop of a hat to go see a Coen brothers film can go hang. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying the film-going public should up their game.

Good to know it's going to be more like Pitch Black than the stupid bullshit that was Chronicles of Riddick.

It looks like it'll be exactly like Pitch Black. It's a shame, I really enjoyed (conceptually that is, Chronicles was a lousy film) the franchise moving from a taut action film into a sprawling space opera. It was just so inexplicable.

Even more interesting he spends the entire film sitting down playing an old German man. Every Hardy film I've seen, even the good ones, have focused on his physique. I hope it works out for him.

I was on the fence because I wasn't really feeling Eisenberg's performance but then Chris Morris showed up in the final second so of course I'm going to watch it.

I was really into TMNT as a kid, loved the 80s cartoon and the live action movies.

This new one looks like total crap though, I don't see what some of you people are seeing.
Shredder looks like a mess of CGI just like the Transformers were and the turtles themselves look like horrifying creatures that were aborted during the concept design stage but they made them anyways.
And Megan Fox as April is likely one of the worst casting choices I've ever seen/

It's a kids movie and you're not a kid anymore, why would you expect to enjoy it?

They're hamming up Bond's tiredness as a metaphor for Bond's (the franchise) tiredness. Probably. Like how every other line in Skyfall was "wow, aren't you passed it, why are you still here?"
