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 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409847/) and Cowboys and Aliens (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472181/), I noticed that in production for 2012 is Battleship - The move (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_%28film%29), followed by Rubic's Cube - The Movie (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/nov/12/rubiks-cube-film-big-screen).

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.

Rik: "Has it ever occurred to you, Neil, that no-one is interested in anything you ever say or do, ever? Gah! Fascist!"
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.

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

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.

And you can of course shorten your wait with the award-winning, dystopic action thriller Tetris - The Movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE_1KlWFJyA).
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
how about this one

Rules are for people who can't think for themselves. I didn't waste my time with that shit.
A) Its allude, not elude. Eluding is what you try to do when the banhammer comes.
B) I would suggest reading the rules, but judging by your previous comments you either have and dont care, or dont want to and are trying to get yourself banned. Either way you are trolling.
C) Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, though there might be reprecussions depending on how they vocalize them.
D) I'm now going to find a Vault to hide in from the fallout from the oncoming banhammer.

Also, everyone needs to stop playing "forum police." Plainly, I saw the posts and didn't think anything of it. If I banned every idiot that posted in this forum... well, it'd be a lot quieter in here.

Your mom, if his (or her) initial post is to be believed.
However, I suspect that that's unlikely to happen. Darkmoon seems to be having entirely too much fun.
You guys are entirely way too stupid to insult.
First, as the mod has said (yes, I have known the ENTIRE time that Darkmoon is a mod ... which is why it is hysterical to report him to himself) I have done absolutely no trolling.
Here is a protip:
Trolling =/= sarcasm/general douchebaggery.
Lets assume for a moment that my initial post was serious (which I assure you, it was not); you "people" are too obsessed with watching some sort of a fallout between myself and a mod, thinking that I am much to stupid to realize that Darkmoon was a mod. God forbid I have two brain cells and work that out on my own (especially with the clever comments like "do I get to tell him yet") that the lord and master Darkmoon is actually a mod.
I, however, do not enjoy Mrs. Mr. Bieber's so-called (this actually does have a hyphen, Mr. n'n'daCorna ... because we all know how important they are toward your well-being. Oh shit, another hyphen! It must be your birthday!) acting is garbage and her his music is even worse. I was using sarcasm and dark comedy (or black comedy if you want to be a racist about it).
I honestly don't care whether or not you "people" find it funny or not, I am not here for your amusement ... I'm here to entertain myself, and a few other people who are poking around these hallowed halls.
So, enjoy your popcorn ... because I guarantee that I am not going anywhere, for I have not broken a single rule.
Unless there is a rule against being awesome.
(Note: any attempts to try and deflate my ego will result in me laughing at your pathetic existence while I enjoy a glass of Tang with my cats. Tang: It's a kick in a glass!)
Edit: I forgot to mention one thing ... SquirrelWizard, you are correct ... I had a massive brain fart, thank you for correcting me (and you should win the award for best user name) but I assure you that I knew the difference, my cellphone [for whatever reason] does not know the word 'allude' this has been corrected, and hopefully won' happen again. Auto-correct fail. :B
Apparently it fails at seeing the word "won'" though. ;)

I agree with this 100%; but it is difficult to continue posting about my fake drug habit when there are people on the forum with an ounce of intelligence. I know when I'm beaten, and I got spanked pretty hardcore and called out on my shit. I know when to stop (most of the time), and like I said before ... I know when I'm beaten.

instead of making a reffrence to difficulties fornicating while wearing a codpiece, i will instead try to shake things up by asking if anyone has an opinion on the two tim buron claymation movies which are going to be in the works
frankenweenie - child resurrects dead dog into an abomination unto god
adams family- well, its the adams family. presumably creepier then 'normal'
I didn't know about frankenweenie so far, but Tim Burton generally has always been awesome. And... year ... having watched it (the original) on youtube right now I think that one was no exception.
As for the remake, apparently tim burton himself got the idea and is producing it, so at least the people involved will know what they are doing :)
Also, it should be fun to see a claymation film in the year 2012...
Finally, am I seeing things that are not there, or is there an E.T reference in the original frankenweenie?
i largely just find it facinating how drastically the claymation evolves between each movie made
first you have nightmare, in all its glory. corpse bride had a very complex system of metal skeletons to make animating the clay figures far more smooth and acessable, coraline... well, i have no freaking clue but it was pretty interesting and conveyed a lot of emotion, which is really why the claymation films are so great to begin with

Planet of the Apes. I actually had a list of all his movies, and wrote a little bit about each one, singling out the few I did, really, like. Then I reached this movie, and deleted it. Oh, how I loathe this movie, and I find it nicely summarizes everything that is wrong with his career.

Tim Burton < Christopher Nolan
Pssh. Nolan's a new director. Give him a few years and he'll churn out something horrid sooner or later. Coppola, Reiner, Shamaylan, you get the idea.
Oh, they all churn out shitty movies once in a while. Finchner made Alien 3, for example.
But when it comes to Burton, the bad far outweighs the good.
as long as we're talking about modern directors, I've always had a sneaky feeling that I don't like Aronofsky as much as I should :<
he's kinda on Nolan's tier for me, which is good, but not as good as say, Fincher, the Coens, or the two Andersons, to say nothing of Terrence Malick.
He's a bit hit or miss. He does seem even more obsessed with being a "auteur" than Nolan... although not as much as Burton.
Uwe Boll is the bestest director of all time!
We're all just not smart enough to realize it (according to him).
To be fair to him, I actually didn't hate In the Name of the King. High praise indeed for the director of the worst movies of the last two decades.
wasn't that the dungeon siege film made like seven years after the game came out?
I shall make a movie about paper airplanes.
In the plot, all the metal in the world has been stolen... by ALIENS!!! D:
And the only hope is that the oragami masters (who have POWERS!!!) can make space-faring paper-airplanes equipped with... uhm... photon torpedoes... using SCIENCE!!!
Hmm, good guys need something hip and trendy... I know! They're good-looking teens that brood all the time because of their oragami powers!! And the aliens are working for a huge corporation of evil! And at the end, robots will appear and kill people cuz in the future machines will take over thanks to the evil coprporation, and the aliens are secretly GOOD!! And the only way they could stop them was to steal all the metal on Earth that the robots needed to make themselves! WHAT A TWIST!!! (plus it guarantees a multi-part franchise to rake in more $$$$$$$$!)
IT SHALL BE TH GREATEST MOVIE EVARRRRRR!!!!
as directed by M. Night Chamois himself. :U

Yep. Wasn't awful, but it certainly wasn't at all good...
I think I have a review of it bumping around somewhere. Really should dig that up...
Personally I'm hoping "Megamind" is at least as amusing as "Despicable Me".
"Transformers" kind of made me cry, thus ruining action genera for me. Sure the transformation were cool, but can you believe how much time they waisted in battles and the humans in planning rooms trying decide to tell their men were to shoot.

Despicable Me was pretty good. Thumbs up for that.

Hungry Hungry Hippos-No, this is not a parody of American obesity rates... but it could be...
I propose that any
Hungry Hungry Hippo movies be written by Kate Beaton. (http://beatonna.livejournal.com/130174.html?page=2)
Just imagine. It'd be a tragic conflict between a man's romance and his obsession.
I would pay every dollar I have to see it.

To be fair to him, I actually didn't hate In the Name of the King. High praise indeed for the director of the worst movies of the last two decades.
to be even more fair, all of his movies were made in bad faith to scam money out of the government. I can respect that.

this may be a streach but the plot is a bit similar to an existing and old science fiction novel
the history is thus- humans travel to space and colonise new worlds which are largely forgotten about because theyre so far its *bleep*nuggets to keep in touch. one of these worlds after being colonised kind of degraded into being roughly late middle ages after a few centuries. but wait! a probe from the universal conglomorate government has been spotted and this 'new' world will soon be added to the lists of world in the empire within a few years once diplomats get there. why is this important? because a planet that has the capability of space travel gets equal standing and voting rights in this government, whereas a planet without the capability of space travel is second class and usually is lightly raped by those planets who have interstellar battleships.
thus begins the race for a king to put together a spaceworthy vessel in under ten years using roughly leonardo da vinchi level technology. which, incidentelly, would make one awesome movie, i would assume it would be comedic as well
In the Name of the King was Boll's worst movie, if only because it was mediocre and competent rather then simply stupid and terrible to the point where it becomes fun to watch at parties.

Particularly the bit in the credits.

Plan 9 From Outer Space (remake)- It has better special effects this time (maybe).
That's actually being worked on. Looks like it might actually be decent. Lots of trailers work that way though. It being what they're made to do and all.

Decent? Doesn't that go against the spirit of the original? ;-]

You mean the terrible B Movie spirit? True, it would go against that all together, but it's not like Ed Wood was trying to make notoriously bad movies. Well, not with that one at least. I'm not so sure about the other ones. Still, hopefully it'll still be fun either way.

Megamind > Despicable Me. */lone opinion*
After all, there's only one difference between a villain and a
super villain.

King David's Spaceship (1980)
also megamind has the critical flaw of having Will Ferrel being within three hundred feet of it. although i am going to give it the benefit of the doubt for including some rudimentary sociological theories as to why someone becomes a criminal

There's no Queen of England? :U
Say it ain't so? :rolleyes
correction to my point about 'King David's Spaceship (1980)', i was mostly doing the explanation on when i stumbled across it in a used book store and read the back cover. but now i went out and discovered the actual plot. correction is as follows.
they do not have middle ages technology and would not be doing a davinchi style spacecraft- they are in fact a society of top hat, handlebar mustachios, and monocle wearing society who would be building a steam-punk spaceship. which is like thirty times more awesome. i made the mistake of assuming medieval era technology because it referenced a portion of the book where they go to an even lower tech world and are forbidden from bringing new or disruptive technology so they arm themselves with swords and shields (they later break the law anyways by inventing the horse collar, which suddenly makes horses more efficient then having slaves do all the work). also where they say 'king david' think more like 'queen victorias sugar daddy'
Paul is looking interesting.
Who wouldn't like a movie about an alien hanging out with a couple of people and the of handed mentioning of probing. :P
