You're not kidding, that looks like a drat video game ad.

That kind of makes sense for a film where we're not sure what's real or virtual though.

Colm Meaney randomly showing up in movies is my favorite thing ever. Under Siege, then The Rock. It's great.

Going mental at Daniel Craig with the freezer in Layer Cake as well

The worst part? This is a feature film based on the persona of a game show host.

His catchphrase is "potatoes".

He's a play up of every British 'double entendre' type host going. Keith Lemon is what Bruce Forsyth and Jonathon Ross would be if you stripped all of the poo poo jokes and were just upfront about ogling the cohost/guest on stage. And he's loving hilarious for it.

The third one's the oldest, too. He worked on Aussie TV soaps.

They all did, all famous Australians have been at one point or another

I'm giggling imagining Brian Johnson on a soap opera.

I can give you Gandalf on Coronation Street but no Brian Johnson. And for some weird reason, Pussy Galore and Gandhi as well.

The best bit about the Jack Reacher film is that he's 6'5" tall in the books. It's going to be LOTR levels of tilt-shift.

^^ oh? hrmmm

It looks like someone backlit and standing on a cliff but I don't know what the backlit part is supposed to be.

I think it's a sword/cliff and the person crouching is Gollum.

I don't know what it is about the sand/dirt kicking up off the ground but it does look like he's lost his left hand somewhere.

The UK system now runs U, PG, 12A (12 unattended, any age accompanied by adult), 15... so that PG13 films can get kids in over this side of the pond, which is pretty worrying when PG13 is becoming the normalised 'bloody summer blockbuster' stateside and 12 films not having the same reputation of violence as 15 and 18's.

His full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Jr. Brazillian footballers have a history of going by one name (Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Fred, Robinho, Pele, Garrincha, Dunga, Kaka etc there's a crap ton of them). His actual role in the film seems undisclosed so far? Most of the articles are just that he's joined the cast, that he's in the teaser, and that no one seems to have any idea what he's actually doing on camera.

Trying to be the next Beckham, but starting younger and speaking Spanish and Portuguese. At the moment he's one of the best strikers for the biggest* side in the world and he has little competition for movie roles; Messi's a robot, Suarez is an ugly bitey racist, Ronaldo is making movies about himself anyway, and Bale is a balding monkey man.

I really think that there was a time in the late 90s where you could've got a major studio to make a movie about vulcanologists who go inside a volcano and are hunted by lava sharks

Dear Warner Brothers, I have in my hands a treatment for Aquaman II...

Sleeveless posted:

Sherlock is literally a decade old and more or less popularized that iconography of having text messages appear as floating text on screen rather than having characters read text aloud, constantly cutting to screens to show text, or having pointlessly showing holographic displays pop up. Of all the things to criticize it for that isn't one of them.

they nicked it (and season 4 plots) from bloody Hollyoaks.

Maybe it's the perspective but it doesn't look like Kong is holding on to the building at all so I think he is going to fall first.

I have never seen the movie. Does a speedboat come out of the crocodile's mouth at any point in the movie?

Something better

That looks an awful lot like one of those slip covers they put over a bunch of different movies to make them all look the same on the shelf.

I think it�s an entry into the �how Bond can we make the actor look before we get a letter from the Brocolli�s?� competition.

There�s a Brosnan poster for something that�s even more blatant, maybe the Thomas Crown Affair?

Well it worked, because Barbara Broccoli saw scenes like this and put Craig on the shortlist. The screenplay even describes XXXX as holding the gun like Bond.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bVbzxFSWL8

Ironically it was Matthew Vaughn who really wanted to be part of the Bond reboot. Craig was indifferent to the franchise until they showed him the script.

The scene worked, but the poster change is only to try and catch people after the fact.

God I love Japanese titles (I said TITLES)

Thunderbirds 2086, known in Japan as Scientific Rescue Team Techno Voyager

It was so good, we had three randomly taped episodes on VHS years ago. The titles are on YouTube.

If Chris Pratt had really leaned into the accidental Linda Belcher impression schtick for the whole movie, I'd be more impressed with the film as a whole.

Linda Belcher is played by a man doing a specifically Brooklyn Italian-American voice though?
