Movies in 2011/2012

[127.0.0.2]

Apologies if this has been discussed before. But after I had accepted that the highlights of this movie year are apparently Pirates of the Carribean 4, The Smurfs 3D and Cowboys and Aliens, I noticed that in production for 2012 is Battleship - The move, followed by Rubic's Cube - The Movie.

Is it just me or do we have a problem?

Well a movie kind of based on the idea of the Rubic's Cube already exists- Cube and it's not half bad. As for battleship- I'm curious what they'll come up with. My guess is that no one knows what it will be about yet, so any comment right now would come out extremely prejudiced. What I'm really looking forward to though is Transformers 3 and Kung Fu Panda 2.

*makes up a list of movies for 2012, along with taglines* 

Pong-Get Paddled!

Tetris-Getting the Drop On You!

Snorks-They Suck and Blow

Hungry Hungry Hippos-No, this is not a parody of American obesity rates... but it could be...

Two Hours of a White Background and Silence-A movie by Philip Glass. *$190 million budget*

Aliens vs Santa Claus-It can't really be that bad, can it?

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies 2- Even we don't know why we made this... we were all on LSD at the time.

Plan 9 From Outer Space (remake)- It has better special effects this time (maybe).

Land Before Time Over 9,000- Littlefoot finally grasps his true power to become a Super Saurian and defeat the most terrible lizard of all... King Koopa!

Poke-Ball Z-This actually might be good...

You're forgetting the 250 million dollar remake of The Room.

Two Hours of a White Background and Silence-A movie by Philip Glass.

Now also IN 3D!

ZOMG!!! SRSLY?!?!?!  I MUST GO SEE IT 50 TIMES!

The Young Ones comes to mind.

*all four are watching television*
Vyvian: "What's that little white dot in the middle of the screen?"
*pause*
Rik: "It's a little white dot."
*pause*
Vyvian: "I know that, but what's it mean?"
*pause*
Neil: "It means something really heavy. It means there's no more telly, it's time to go to bed." *sigh* "Oh, well. I'm off to finish painting my astrological star chart."
*pause*
Rik: "Has it ever occurred to you, Neil, that no-one is interested in anything you ever say or do, ever? Gah! Fascist!"

[GabrielsThoughts]

I prefer to think of Jeff Bridges performance in The Big Lebowski. The gangsters are shoving his head into the toilet and he's like... "Hang on, I think I see something."

The latest crop of movies aren't all bad, but the same ol' plots plots are starting to stagnate. I honestly don't see how digging up a dead horse is any better than kicking one.

"What is it, Lieutenant Sebastian?" *grin*

[Alondro]

*thinks of a horror movie for the box*  The Recycling Bin

*imagines all the boxes in the theater vomiting from their flaps as the evil Janitor rips up boxes and throws them into the bin of box body parts and entrails (foam peanuts).*  Of course, the footage would just be of a guy doing his job at UPS.  

A snuff film for the cardboard crew!  

This sounds like something Garry Larson would have come up with for a daily strip... yes, I can see it... it's so perfect, so beautiful... it must be done! 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I'm not sure they'd let me film that, Alondro. And, well, it'd be difficult to get you a spot, as the makeup really doesn't make you look believably box-like.

Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you, not any more...
*prepares the office shredder*

Well a movie kind of based on the idea of the Rubic's Cube already exists- Cube and it's not half bad.

I wasn't aware Cube is actually made after the Rubic's Cube. But even then, at least they had the niceness not to make it the main selling point of the movie.

As for battleship- I'm curious what they'll come up with. My guess is that no one knows what it will be about yet, so any comment right now would come out extremely prejudiced.

Actually, there are a few details. Apparently, it will be about an invasion of aliens who, for a change, do not want to take over the world but are "looking for something". (Dun Dun Dun!)
This invasion is then held back by the Navy. I agree, this could actually become an interesting movie, however I have this fear that the alien invasion (and the gross register tons of applied phlebotium that come with them) are basically an explanation to why the world can now really only be saved by playing a game of real life Battleship. Which would be lame. Really lame.

im going to take the easy route and start off by adding some sequilmatter to this pile in addition to some im just embarrassed people paid to make

ice age 4- when there should never have been a 2

scream 4-  .... wait, didn't they stop making those in the late nineties?

hoodwinked two i didn't actually dislike hoodwinked, but i can dislike this on principle

appollo 18- a fake documentary about astronauts finding hostile life on the moon, i will let you form your own punchline

POM wonderful the greatest movie ever sold- apparently a movie about the evils of product placement. which begs the question why someone would voluntarily put their brand name in the title, its like viagra sponsoring the movie 'sicko'

spy kids 4- are they even still kids? the home alone movies made more sense when they made one of the burglars a girl and replaced mcully culcan with an eight year old with brown hair

the hangover two- 'drunk in Thailand', three word plot

Untitled 3D Shark Thriller! - seriously, thats the working title. get this, its set on a house next to a freshwater lake. someone fell asleep in fourth grade biology i see.

Dibbuk Box- a holocaust survivor brings a haunted jack in the box with him to los angeles, which then seems to start killing people by the power of nazi magic.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked - HRRRrrNNnnrrRRRnnNgggggg..... brain hurtey...




on the other hand i am looking forward to a grand total of two movies- the lorax and the muppets. tales of revenge packaged in somewhat cute forms, i approve

[Alondro]

*Charles reads the list of awful movies... steals some of Iran's secret nukes... and vaporizes Hollywood.*

Problem solved!   

[thegayhare]

Aliens vs Santa Claus-It can't really be that bad, can it?

that movie already exists...

It's called Santa Claus conquers the martians

[Brunhidden]

ye gods, how could i not throw in 'ouija' the movie to counter the rubix cube movie?

[Alondro]

They already had a ouija in "Paranormal Activity"!

[Brunhidden]

no, theyre making an actual movie about the ouija board

[ooklah]

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies 2- Even we don't know why we made this... we were all on LSD at the time.

... WHYYYYY?!!

[Keleth]

It might not be....THAT bad.

I'm looking forward to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs Minesweeper the movie

[127.0.0.2]

And you can of course shorten your wait with the award-winning, dystopic action thriller Tetris - The Movie.

[Brunhidden]

im surprised noboy here, amongs all of the 'sure these movies are shit but im looking forward to blank' pointed out that there is a dark tower movie coming out... also going to be a series

also a movie im not exited or disgusted about but really just curious about. they are making 'the king of the elves' into a movie. this is a short story, very short. i read the whole thing in less then ten minutes. basically a small town gas station owner meets a faerie funeral procession of their dead king, and the elves elect him king in hopes he can stop the troll king from killing them all after the death of their last king.  *spoiler* he tells his best friend about the elves, who then tries to commit him to a mental home, but then trolls assult the elves and he kills their king who just so happens to be his best friend who wanted to call the assylum.



now, what really puzzles me is the monsters incorporated 2 movie release date. we all know that John Ratzenberger appears in each pixar movie, and in MI1 he played someone banished to the human world. so, in MI2 do they bring him back or do they make a second character with the same voice? nothing serious, but just makes me wonder

[thegayhare]

how about this one

Here's the old one on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2olkc3reIro

[Doctor Smoov]

Anyone else excited for Justin Bieber's new movie. That shit is going to be off the hook!

[Darkmoon]

 

[Doctor Smoov]

I just reported you to the mods stupid. I don't appreciate how you elude to the fact that people who enjoy Mr Bieber are stupid. Fuck this, son.

I do believe this belongs here a second time...



If you thought to read the rules (as all people that join a community should), then I think you'll find something rather important about this forum. In the mean time... *starts playing Taps on a bugle*

[Doctor Smoov]

Rules are for people who can't think for themselves. I didn't waste my time with that shit.
