04.26.12 | Guess this should have been specified to "Upcoming Sci-Fi/Superhero Movies" instead. |
iSkane
04.26.12 | Great Gatsby dawg |
theacademy
04.26.12 | gravity rushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
PayneTiger777
04.26.12 | 4 and 5 will probably be seen in theaters multiple times for me, and I never do that. |
Strider
04.26.12 | I saw 1 yesterday, hands down the best Marvel film, it was almost perfect, except for a few cringy lines |
MUNGOLOID
04.26.12 | Haven't heard about Gravity but the rest sound good. MIB 3 can suck it. |
AtomicShane
04.27.12 | yeah i stoked to see all these too |
Twelve51
04.27.12 | I can't stand Marvel movies so there is no way in hell I'll be seeing #1. 5 is where it's at when it comes to "comic book hero" movies or whatever. |
cagedescending
04.27.12 | If Prometheus turns out to not be great I'll pretty much be shattered. |
Graveyard
04.27.12 | have a feeling that the avengers movie will be painfully sub-par |
KeithStone582
04.27.12 | 2 is gonna rule so hard. Children of Men was amazing. |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | All of these and The Hobbit and Moonrise Kingdom
|
Graveyard
04.27.12 | and that suckich remake of spiderman |
Deviant.
04.27.12 | District 9 was terrible, and The Hobbit is going to blow as well |
Graveyard
04.27.12 | i mean it's fucking marc webb directing
mtv needs to STAY AWAY |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | lol Spider Man is going to bomb hard, it comes out only two weeks before FUCKING BATMAN so it has only two weeks to make a profit which ain't gonna happen |
IMZA1793
04.27.12 | 1 is amazing. Saw it today; not dissapointed. |
guitarnater
04.27.12 | I don't care how, I'm seeing 5 at midnight release. |
Deviant.
04.27.12 | "lol Spider Man is going to bomb hard, it comes out only two weeks before FUCKING BATMAN so it has only two weeks to make a profit which ain't gonna happen"
I know it feels like Spiderman has been in production for like fucking ever, but surely someone at the film company must have realised that they were inadvertently going to go head to head with the sequel to not just one of the highest grossing movies of all time, but one of the highest grossing SUPERHERO movies of all time |
Dashy
04.27.12 | Really 1 is good? Movie looked awful from the commercials. Captain America and Thor also blew hard. |
Devastator
04.27.12 | Dark Knight Rises will rule. Though ive got a pretty good idea how it will end. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | anyone who thinks spider-man is going to bomb doesn't understand its release date.
it has the 2nd best slot of the summer |
theacademy
04.27.12 | i think its going to be a bad movie tho, but it'll make a ton of cash |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | yeah two weeks before Batman, great time slot
|
Satellite
04.27.12 | that dude from the social network seems like a terrible fit for the role, but it will undoubtedly shit all over the shitty shitfest that was spider-man 3 |
Devastator
04.27.12 | I will never look at Venom the same way after that movie. Fucking awful choice for actor. |
Ignimbrite
04.27.12 | guys shut up about Spider Man
so
The Dark Knight Rises |
Satellite
04.27.12 | will probably suck if the trailer is any indication |
Satellite
04.27.12 | honestly topher grace and that dude who played sandman were the only remotely likeable people in the film. |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | Thomas Haden Church is cool yeah |
MeatSalad
04.27.12 | Where's The Hobbit man? Come on. That movie is going to be beyond awesome. Stoked on Prometheus too. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | when tdk came out, hancock came out 2 weeks before and that movie killed
also that movie didn't have spiderman in its title
also ur a dumass |
Devastator
04.27.12 | I liked him but they could have picked someone better than Eric from That 70's Show to play Venom. |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | Good point, ok you win |
MeatSalad
04.27.12 | Well technically speaking cgi played venom |
theacademy
04.27.12 | order of me being psyched:
1. batman
2. avengers
3. prometheus
4. looper
5. gi joe2 |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | The nerds that think Avengers will do better than Batman amuse me |
theacademy
04.27.12 | order of me being psyched (video games edition):
1. gravity rush
2. the naughty dog game that looks like i am legend
3. metal gear solid collection on the vita
4. tony hawk remastered
5. maybe ill get tekken tag but idk |
MeatSalad
04.27.12 | They seem to disregard the fact that everybody and their cat watched and at least enjoyed TDK |
theacademy
04.27.12 | avengers will do very well and i think it will be very good.
my predictions have been:
550+ for batman
440 for Avengers
250 for spiderman
205 for brave
195 for ice age 4 |
MeatSalad
04.27.12 | "2. the naughty dog game that looks like i am legend"
Shit yes, such a good trailer.
Also if anyone here cares, Battlefront 3 was officially cancelled. |
Satellite
04.27.12 | i wish there was another upcoming vidya game for me to be stoked about. the (hopefully) suck-free me3 extended cut and the skyrim expansion pack are all i care about. |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | Those are domestic numbers I'm assuming
Cuz there is no way Batman is making less than a billion worldwide
|
MeatSalad
04.27.12 | Me3 extended cut is still going to suck because the writing is still shit. |
Satellite
04.27.12 | man, i loved the battlefront games so that bummed me out. a revamped version would be amazing. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | yeah of course. batman's domestic is so hard to predict beyond the fact that its going to be in first by like 10 miles |
Satellite
04.27.12 | "Me3 extended cut is still going to suck because the writing is still shit."
basically the producer and lead writer monopolized the ending the first time around. now that their bosses know they suck, i'm hopeful it will be more by committee this time. |
Devastator
04.27.12 | I wouldn't be suprised if TDKR makes more than Avatar.
Oh and they aren't changing the ME3 ending at all. They're just adding a epilogue to show you what happens afterward. So
they are changing the ending without changing it at all. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | i would |
Satellite
04.27.12 | i wouldn't be surprised if it panders to the status quo as much. |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | It probably won't considering it doesn't have inflated 3D ticket prices |
MeatSalad
04.27.12 | It pissed me off more than anything. It was cancelled because lucasarts doesn't want to spend money on marketing for it. Which means they don't want to market a sequel to one of the most successful star wars games of all time. In reality, I'm sure they're just afraid to pull marketing and attention away from The Old Republic. |
Ignimbrite
04.27.12 | go die, Sat
snap |
Satellite
04.27.12 | what if i really died
think about how awful you'd feel/how shitty this site would become |
Satellite
04.27.12 | ftr i really sincerely hope i like tdkr |
theacademy
04.27.12 | im gonna re-watch all 9 alien/predator movies before prometheus... im a little out of touch with the universe and i wanna have it down before going in
|--Predator--Predator2--AVP--AVPR--Predators--PRESENT--Prometheus--Alien--Aliens--Alien3--AlienResurrection--| |
theacademy
04.27.12 | i need to catch every reference |
Ignimbrite
04.27.12 | you know that it's not *actually* a prequel, right? it was supposed to be when they started making it, but it became something else. |
SCREAMorphine
04.27.12 | All these movies sound like shit to be honest. |
Ignimbrite
04.27.12 | wow, you must be really elite |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | well Scott said like the last 10 minutes directly go into Alien |
deathofasalesman
04.27.12 | The only good thing about The Avengers is Joss Whedon so he'll probably make that shit like 2,000 times better than you'd expect it to be.
I want a 28 Months Later to happen but I think that's 2013. |
SCREAMorphine
04.27.12 | Is 28 Months Later happening now? |
deathofasalesman
04.27.12 | Apparently. It said 2013 on imdbabout a year ago. Now it's ???? for the year. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | as far as im concerned if its in the same universe and it has the same characters and the events of one affect the events of the other, then its a prequel |
theacademy
04.27.12 | also im pretty sure they got the whole 'prometheus' theme idea from a predator video game lol |
deathofasalesman
04.27.12 | Brave looks pretty boring for a Pixar film. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | pixar has been pretty much shit since ratatouille but i think brave will have a hard time getting younger boys interested hence the modest box office predict |
Trebor.
04.27.12 | wall e yeah
Up rules hard too |
Vesper
04.27.12 | 'brave will have a hard time getting younger boys interested hence the modest box office predict'
yep
Also, yeah, Up sucked balls. |
Ignimbrite
04.27.12 | "pixar has been pretty much shit since ratatouille"
go die in a deep dark dank hole. their only bad movie was Cars 2 |
Ignimbrite
04.27.12 | "Also, yeah, Up sucked balls."
people just be hating itt, Up is my favorite animated movie of all time :( |
deathofasalesman
04.27.12 | Watched Finding Nemo in Spanish class yesterday. MOUNT WANNAHACKALOOGIE! |
Crymsonblaze
04.27.12 | Really looking forward to #1, almost completely due to Joss. That's about it though |
JokineAugustus
04.27.12 | Am most excited for Batman and the Hobbit. If you havn't seen it already, everyone needs to check out The Raid: Redemption. It is THE action movie of the year. I don't think Batman or the Hobbit can even be better. |
guitarnater
04.27.12 | Up is beast. |
Wolfhorde
04.27.12 | 1 will probably be your usual "dumb action movie affair" for eating pizza and turning off your brain.
4 looks pretty nice, but I'll withhold judgement until it arrives. |
Deviant.
04.27.12 | "2. the naughty dog game that looks like i am legend"
You mean the one with what looks like Ellen Page and an alcoholic Nathan Drake? |
baldymort
04.27.12 | Needs more Django Unchained and Seven Psycopaths. |
Deviant.
04.27.12 | I'm really indifferent to Tarantino making movies anymore after the shit heap that was Basterds |
Vesper
04.27.12 | 'Up is my favorite animated movie of all time :('
Justify this statement.
All I ever hear about why people love this movie so much is how heartbreaking the first five minutes are, which is a completely subjective emotional experience - I didn't even think it was sad.
Then again, I find computer-generated animation to be really sterile, even with a talented studio like Pixar, and, thus, pretty much never get any emotional impact. I much prefer traditional cel animation and stop motion. |
guitarnater
04.27.12 | Seriously. |
theacademy
04.27.12 | you could write that out and tell it to another person who never heard of Up and that would be sad. Old people and miscarriages were sad before Up dressed them up in CG and gave them button noses and thick rimmed glasses |
guitarnater
04.27.12 | And adorable sidekicks. |
Vesper
04.27.12 | Not particularly from my perspective. I thought it was much more positive in that they got to grow old and be really happy together in the time they had, even if shit happened - it was still a pretty damn good life.
Eh. I understand why others think it's sad. It just lacked emotional resonance for me. |
spillingmercury
04.27.12 | 1 will probably be your usual "dumb action movie affair" for eating pizza and turning off your brain. 4 looks pretty nice, but I'll withhold judgement until it arrives.
I didn't realize it functioned to be anything more. This is exactly why I watch those kind of movies.
Baw Vesper is so heartless, but I thought Wall-E was boring where everyone else thought it was so romantic and meaningful so I understand where you're coming from. |
guitarnater
04.27.12 | I mean, if being heartless is your thing, I can't really tell you otherwise. |
Vesper
04.27.12 | Hm, I didn't realize that just because my threshold for depressing/sad is way different from yours, it made me heartless.
This Japanese short does a similar relationship-arc, but I think it's much sadder than the Up one (see, I have a heart), even if its animation technique is much less sophisticated.

Anyway, fuck talking about Up - PROMETHEUUUUUSSSSS. |
guitarnater
04.27.12 | Wow, I was kidding. |
Vesper
04.27.12 | Yeah, and I was being sarcastic. |
paxman
04.27.12 | Prometheus and The Hobbit for me. Also, never heard of Elysium or Gravity but I so want to see them now. I loved District 9 and Children of Men. |
Rowan5215
04.27.12 | lol 1's already out in Australia. Fucking amazing movie. |
Emim
04.27.12 | Cabin in the Woods destroyed my opinion of Whedon |
cagedescending
04.27.12 | Just got back from seeing The Avengers, holy fuck it was good. A lot better than I was expecting. A lot funnier too. |
Crymsonblaze
04.27.12 | "Cabin in the Woods destroyed my opinion of Whedon"
Cabin in the Woods was the best movie so far this year. |
Emim
04.28.12 | "Cabin in the Woods was the best movie so far this year."
lol, i would rather have watched lockout again. |
blastOFFitsPARTYtime

LOOPER |
Crymsonblaze
04.28.12 | "lol, i would rather have watched lockout again."
Ok |
Crymsonblaze
04.28.12 | Cabin in the Woods will be movie of the year
Avengers probably second |
Emim
04.28.12 | tell me another one you have me in stitches already |
Trebor.
04.28.12 | why would you even see lockout on purpose |
JokineAugustus
04.28.12 | the raid: redemption! You will not be disappointed if your a action fan. |
digimental101
04.29.12 | I've been meaning to see The Raid: Redemption, hopefully catch it at a second-run theater. Yes, of course, The Hobbit looks awesome, did you expect anything less? (48 frames per minute, baby!). MIB 3 I'm definitely interested in, but will wait to see reviews before deciding. The Cabin in the Woods, oh man, was that movie good! Lucky foreign bastards that get to see The Avengers before me.
@paxman +1 man! :) |
Crymsonblaze
04.29.12 | "tell me another one you have me in stitches already"
Just got the Cabin in the Woods visual companion book in the mail today. It's awesome. |
IMZA1793
04.29.12 | Up is beast [2]
that and Wall-E are the perfect animated films |
