Want to see a Red-band tease of Hit Girl doing what she does best? KICK ASS!!!
Hey folks, Harry here with a taste of the most badass 11 year old girl in the world! This is a kid that has been brought up right! I mean, she'll never be the victim - and she's got a mouth like a sailor ta boot! This is greatness. Get ready to fall in love, buy a purple wig and put your kid in training, cuz as cool as your kid is, they're meat for the grinder compared to HIT GIRL! KICK ASS is the single best audience film you're likely to see in quite a while. Matthew Vaughn knocked this so far out of the park, you'd think he was Superman!
The Red Band can be found at EMPIRE

it's too cute and not worthy of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
-
I am so there. Good grief! Sorry, but who in their right mind would green light such a thing? But yeah, I will to my everlasting shame probably watch it.
-
but at the grand old age of 35, my reaction to this is that it really is kinda innapropriate..
-
So cool they are making a Teen Titans movie.
-
teen titans!
-
...note gag...but I'm still digging that one note.
-
...is it makes it unlikely that she will have the slow, tortuous, painful bloody death she deserves.
-
...you guys are talking about.Raven and I sort of had a thing.
-
Perfect casting, glad the other girl before her had an uptight mom.
-
I'm of the same mind. I see what the filmmakers are going for, but we already get that the girl is a total bad ass killing machine--giving her a potty mouth on top of it seems like overkill.
I think I would have preferred the insane killing skills be contrasted by an unassuming, sweet disposition. Now the character just seems one-dimensional. -
I don't care about her age or the language at all. Why do they have to throw the clips in the air and catch them in the gun! That shit is soooo fuckin stupid. Everything else looked cool and then i see that and it ruins everything.
-
Haven't read the comic. Think I will stay as spoiler free as possible for this one. I'll just watch this tease over and over.
-
take your dick outta the xbox and stop looking at kiddie porn. that looks totally fucking stupid, and the overironic child acting style is just grating. seriously, that's just violence porn.
-
I also feel like her personality is just false. Kids mimic their parents. Cage plays his part reserved and peppers in calm profanity. His daughter would have this same style. Her attitude is just off for a kid who has apparently been training to be an assassin night and day for a long time. The action looks great.

Shut the hell up you puritanical assholes
by the_floating_skull_of_robert_loggia
It's note-for-note lifted from the comics. This is the way it should be. Go back and jack off to the fucking Smurfs from Avatar and stop decrying what will probably be the best action/comedy flick of 2010. Fucking buncha pantywaists the lot of ya.
-
Little girl dressed in bondage leather, severing limbs of big burly men, dropping "fuck" and "cunt" like it was nothing...just gives me the creeps. In the age of hyper-sexualized pre-adolescents plastered all over the internet/TV/magazines, there's just nothing escapist about this.
-

...drturing...um, you're the only one thinking about kiddie...
by flickapoo
...porn. I think you're out there all on your.No, the appeal of this is flashing back to being a kid yourself...how much you wanted to be able to do that shit, or how much you wanted the characters in you TV shows to just let go and gut a bad guy...it's just scratching an ass kicking itch we've all had since we can remember.Really man, stop picturing her with her clothes off. There are lists of people like you...
-
the banana splits theme?
-
...I love fucking up when I'm giving someone the business...
-
All the cool-ass shit you see these old timer sharpshooters ACTUALLY doing with guns on The History Channel, and those Hollywood fuckwits STILL need to make retarded shit up (like that fucking "gangsta style" sideways pistol hold that needs to head for the cinematic graveyard...great way to jam an automatic's ejection port on the first shot).
Cribbing ludicrous bullshit off of WOLVERINE is not the most auspicious approach to an action sequence... -
No, I don't want to see an eleven-year-old girl DOING Kick Ass. That is sick. No more Entrails of a Virgin and Maskhead for you Harry. You dirty, dirty man. I'm going to go watch Miike now. Peace.
-
Man...how quickly a girl saying "cunt" can make people squirm, while watching a movie where people are tortured and murdered in worst possible ways is being "good folk"
-
start thinking about porn when you see this, seek help.
-
When is this coming out anyway?

...I didn't run with a very rough crowd, but when I was 11 the baddest kid I knew said shit that would singe a sailor's pubes.Hell, the kids in STAND BY ME talked pretty rough and that's a classic.
-
Brittany murphy was not talented
-
But not for the movie, although I'm interested in checking it out. I'm just dying to see the Fox News heads explode!
-
...this will be an awesome movie. And 'Hit Girl' will unquestionably be the break-out star of the story.
-
This just sold me.
-
Not me.
-
Beat the shit out of Scorsese's, Jackson's, Jeunet's and Cameron's latest films in terms of sheer film audience response, as well as masterpieces like Faust with live music and The Red Shoes.
As soon as it was over, I just wanted them to put it back on again. Can't remember last time I felt like that for a film. Must have been ten years at least.
Kick-Ass + Avatar is probably the best double feature I've seen. -
Naw, I don't mind her saying it. I think people get caught up in the to catch a predator, mufflers for baby ears, etc. Kids curse, I cursed when I was a kid, grow the fuck up. Besides, she has a fucking cunt, so who better than a girl to use the fucking word? As for the violence, why can't she do over-the-top violence? If her parent is cool with it and it serves the comic justice, then let the movie be made. One last thing,
-
...because the bully calls his targets "faggot," as if a real schoolyard bully never said that. Now there's a movie about a girl MAIMING and KILLING and people are mad because she said "cunt." People need to accept the world the world of the movie and stop with the pitchforks and torches. Sidenote, it's hilarious that someone actually started calling themself "total fucking destruction."
-
Gross Pointe Blank and Con Air. Not cause those are good movies but because this broad was blowing me at the drive in;) True story. No. Really. True story.
-
Cage looks incredible here. Ticket sold already.
-
I don't really care if this ruins anything, but one of the cunts above said something about her being the villain, but she isn't. She's another hero like Kick-Ass, just plays by another set of rules...I love those old cheesy trailer quotes.
-
Interesting choice of trailer music. The movie looks decent. Young kids using profanity has zero shock value anymore, but the shootouts look fun.
-
Then I guess I'm right in assuming she doesn't meet a painful, gruesome death. Fuck that. Oh, and topdolla69...cunt? Fuck you, fatty.
-
If I ever had kids I'd want them to be unstoppable killing machines.
-
Shit, you weren't supposed to see my dick in ur mom's mouth
-
Last resort of the true morons. This is the class of people this movie attracts I see...nothing like a 11 year old girl saying "cunt" to make dorks on the internet think they are internet badasses.
-
WATCHMEN BABIES In V for Vacation Looks better than Avatar....
-
So true. Now, since u are the biggest pussy on this board, should I fuck you now or later? Im getting banned for that one, huh
-
That one was for u
-
Nic Cage's moronic "daddy" talk, calling his daughter "child" and "sweetness"... Hit Girl's painfully forced cursing, trying to sound like a pint-sized Clint Eastwood... it's not even that offensive. It's just bad, clumsy filmmaking.I'm still waiting to see why the audiences apparently loved this movie, because the comic book is equally ridiculous, but I can accept such stupidity from a cartoon drawing. It doesn't translate to flesh-and-blood actors, though.
-
movie doesn't?
-
This looks so awesome. Oh, and to all the born again baptists in this thread, I'd like to remind you this isn't actually REAL, and it's in a hard-R rated film. AS a comics fan from the early 80s on, I think I will LOVE this movie.

You can blah blah blah about the profanity all you want,
by grammaton cleric
but what you can't deny is that those appear to be some very well directed/choreographed action scenes.
-
I guess it's cuz Ass isn't technically a curse, but what Dicks insinuates is a little more harsh
-
Listen, tough guy, you've got another hour of internet time before your bedtime...go back to playing World of Warcraft, tiger.

A FOUL MOUTHED 11 YEAR OLD KILLING MACHINE? HOW REVOLUTIONARY...
by tehcreepythinman
No wonder comic book nerds are regarded as emotionally retarded pedophiles.
-
Good, nice one. I like how you even included a semi popular game in ur comeback. I'm more of a modern warfare kinda guy.
-
Love the comic. Sure to love the movie as well.

OF COURSE DEVIN FARACI'S ON THIS LIKE STINK ON SHIT....
by tehcreepythinman
Fucking pedo.
-
...then why the fuck do you even read this website? This movie epitomizes everything that AICN and the geek community are and like.
Time for your medicine Grandpa, now sit down in your rocker and I'll turn on your stories while you piss and shit in a bag. Pretentious cunts. -
Jesus Christ, the WHINING on this TB. I can't take the fucking WHINING. The clips from this flick- even WITh Nic Cage doing his look-at-me-I-am-CRAAAAZY act- are huge fun. Come ON. Seriously? Y'all are going to go HIGHBROW on this? Puh-LEEZE. Check your dentures at the door. Holy shit.
-
Every fucking comment is about how AWESOME it is that an 11 year old girl is murdering people and calling them Cunts. Btw, these are the same people who pretend to be intellectually superior to every other message board on the net and trashed ANYONE who got excited over The Dark Knight which invested it’s story with theme’s and subtext. KICK-ASS is an R-Rated Mystery Men with jailbait. You know who Devin Faraci is? He’s like a live action version of Zach Galifianakis’s character, Alan, from The Hangover complete with sex offender tendencies, blubber and scruffy beard.
-
Cheering, pumping fists, topped off with a circle jerk. Our standards have sunk this low?

OH FUCK YOU STUPID BASTARDS, THIS SHIT IS SOO OLD AND UNORIGINAL
by tehcreepythinman
It's like they gave the murderous boy from Robocop 2 a sex change and stuck him in an R-rated remake of Mystery Men. What exactly is the plot of this shit? Is there a plot? Or are these characters just going to fight a bunch of generic gangsters? You fucking assholes bitch about everything and yet you lap up this retarded shit like the mindless asswipes that you are. Grow the fuck up!!!
-
The book is fun, the movie will be fun from the looks. Could use some more splashes of color. A little surprised by the negative reaction here. Seems right up the site's alley. I'm not about senseless violence, but the violence in the book is surprisingly not senseless. Most all of it has serious impact, despite Hit Girl's emotional shield of being potty mouthed.
-
Using Batman and Robin to make my point here:
When Robin is being properly utilized in a story he'll usually do something pretty cool but ultimately come up just short of defeating the supervillain. Then Batman swoops in and takes care of the business that Robin couldn't handle and everyone reading says 'wow Batman is so uber-cool!'
Similarly, Hit-girl is Batman to Kick-ass's Robin.
Hit-girl serves a literary purpose by being the unattainable superhero that Kick-ass always wanted to be. Over the top? Absolutely. But to a very specific purpose.
I haven't seen the movie of course, but I think it's worth waiting to see her actions in context before shitting yourself about it. -
It was a great series and will make for a fun movie. The movie is a pure guilty pleasure and not meant to be taken seriously.
-
me included. Yeah, she is fake, and still tougher than you. A thought on paper, still tougher than you.
-
Christ, is it just me? I’m turning 32 in about 4 months and shit like this and Avatar just don’t do ANYTHING for me. Am I just getting out of touch? I notice that, these days, I’m more partial towards movies like La Vie En Rose and Perfume : The Story of a Murderer but then, on the other hand, I fucking loved movies like Speed Racer and Land of the Lost, movies that I never expected to even like in the first place, while Avatar and Kick-ass just feel like Dances with Thundersmurfs and Mystery Men part 2. What am I missing here?
-
You LIKED Land of the Lost?
-
Looks fucking pathetic. It's not edgy or cool it's just fucking sad.
-
senseless violence yay
-
I still say brittany murphy was not a good actress
-
...any regular on AICN dislikes this. It's unreal. If ever there was a movie for the geeks to rally around it's this one.
Absolutely proves that bitches will bitch like a little bitchy fucking bitch about anything in these TalkBacks. -
Looks like an awesome time at the movies! (I wanted to say 'KICKASS!' but then I realized that it would have been redundant.).. and I see that there are also some uncomfortable Sgt. Hatred-like reactions to Hit Girl all up in here. Hilarious.
-
I never watched the TV show, I usually CAN’T FUCKING STAND Will Ferrell and the trailers did NOTHING for me. But a funny thing happened. I got dragged to see it and ended up loving the shit out of the movie. I don’t know why. It’s like I had absolutely ZERO expectations for the movie and, yet, it won me over with its jokes, gags, the general charm of the characters and weird vibe the movie had. Same thing happened with Speed Racer and I FUCKING HATED the original cartoon.
-
I just want to know why Robin the Boy Wonder is dressed in green, and if that girl is supposed to be the latest Robin? This is a movie about the different Robins, right? I hope Chris O'Donnell reprises his role. That'd be kick-ass. Oh, ha ha, that is the title of the film. Now I understand why it's called that.
-
Fuck off. I loved Avatar, District 9, Moon, Coraline, Up, Hurt Locker, Ponyo. Star Trek was even disposably enjoyable. None of those films had the utter stupidity to try and make a child doing olympics level gymnastics choreography slaughtering of adults shooting weapons at her while acting plucky and cute. It's just stupid. MAYBE if it was even a little more brutal and shocking and there wasn't defying the laws of physics to make it look cool like she's doing awesome skateboard tricks, maybe if it sold the idea of actual danger, it might be watchable. But this looks like the most pathetic of trenchcoat with backwards baseball cap wearing dudes with bad goatees who keep spawn figures in blister packs imagery I've seen pretty much ever. Also, Stardust. I mean seriously, fucking Stardust.
-
"..bitches will bitch like a little bitchy fucking bitch.." hahahahahahahahahha. so true. i do it all the time.
-
Who came up with "she can't see through walls". I mean what the fuck? How awkward is that? I'm telling you this movie is dead as a doornail. The problem is, there's one demographic for this movie, and they're the demographic who download movies and spend most of their disposable income on Xbox Live thinking that Modern Warfare 2 will teach you as much about guns as serving in Iraq. To everyone else, there's a huge marketing problem with this movie: the badly costumed characters don't look like clever knowing satire and revision, it just looks like a cheap movie.
-
Isn't Kick-Ass supposed to be set in the "real world?" This looks FAR from the real world. Looks like the original premise got lost in translation...
-
a frickin' trip! I have laughed at all of the scenes I have seen. I can't wait for it. Oh, and Land of the Lost sucked, but Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was even worse. What a dreadful piece of shittery.
-
If you didn't like the action, swearing, and inappropraite youth violence then they still made it look like that guy had a cock in his mouth for you, ya little fruity fruit butt. This trailer had it all.
-
Devin, who thinks Watchmen, Dragon Age Origins, and 2012 are better than Avatar. And whose writing about Harry Potter is close to damn near Dateline: Fanfic as far as I can tell.
-
I don't give fuck one about how much imaginary Kung Fu training she's got. Y'all are fucking pederasts.
-
FREEZE FRAME, CUE CREDITS
-
It was a fucking DULL, FLAT, UNINSPIRED and BORING with HORRIBLY BLAND CINEMATOGRAPHY. Never mind that the fucking leads were two of the most zero charisma non-entities that I've ever seen an entire movie revolve around. It's like how they had those boring fucks Knightly and Bloom in Pirates 1 and luckily surrounded them with awesome character actors like Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush who made that fucking movie. Stardust had a ton of great actors in the film but even they couldn't save it from the black hole of suck that the leads were.
-
why not have a fucking 5 year old kindergartener dressed like a ninja killing and eating nazis? Hit Girl is just a gimmick meant to please geeks. Ain't nothing in this scene I haven't seen before. They just taught a young girl to swear and swing a sword. Big fucking deal
-
The luck of the Irish, Mr President... Just ran out!
To whoever said this is what they wanted to do when they were 11 years old, congratulations on admitting you wanted to be a psychopathic girl. -
This is humorous absurdist fiction at its finest! I guess some people just don't like fun. Lighten up, Francis.
-
If this was a movie about an 11 year old girl going around a school, murdering other kids, you'd never hear the fucking end of it from soccer Moms, parents' groups and politician scum. But somehow, her brutally killing adults is fine? Just in case you think I have a bleeding pussy over this, I don’t, but I’m amused by the hypocrisy that they would NEVER make a movie out of Pico’s School because the political fallout of such a project would be overwhelming.
-
Oh I'm sure there WILL be some uptight bitching about this movie. ... at least there will be here in The States: where too many people haven't figured the difference between real-life and every other medium. Give it time.
-
Where did all the puritans come from? Are you fucking serious?! CreepyThinMan, Kick Ass is obviously not for you if you found ANY redeeming qualities in Land of the Lost and loved Speed Racer. You might want to stick to the Family section of your local Blockbuster.
-
That looked fucking class! And not because she said "cunt" but because the fight scenes looked well staged and it looks like a whole fucking heap of fucking fun! Count me hyped, I wasn't before but I am after seeing that kick ass trailer (no pun intended).

This movie is itself a tragedy. Anything goes in the service of supporting Nic Cage's extravagant multi-mansion lifestyle.

CaptainAxis, EXCUSE ME, I'VE SEEN EVERY PIECE OF DESPICABLE, FIL
by tehcreepythinman
Disgusting, glorious trash the world has to offer and loved every second of it. What bugs me about this movie is how it seems to be pandering to the comic geek crowd while offering NOTHING new. What's the fucking story behind KICK-ASS? A bunch of average people, going around dressed as superheroes, trying to fight crime. The concept is FUCKING OLD and was done by Mystery Men in fucking 99. Seriously, is the concept of an 11 year old girl slicing up bad guys really that exciting to you? Yeah, it's amusing for about one second, but then what? Is there going to be a scene where the bad guys rape and torture her? Of course not, because that would be unacceptable, while the idea of her slaying people isn't? This just rubs me as a geeky post-modernism.
-
Because it's right.

BringingSexyBack, PASSION OF THE CHRIST WAS A SNUFF FILM!!!FACT!
by tehcreepythinman
-
I don't care how wildly popular this was at BNAT. If this young girl hissing profanities and performing unlikely feats of violence is the film's major selling point, it's weak. It might be funny if it were somehow made more credible. It would be nice to view these clips as really edgy and cool, but they come across as mean-spirited and poorly contrived. I need something more than shock value to interest me in this. I just can't see myself cheering this shit on. Up till now, I was actually really interested in seeing the film. The clip of Nicolas Cage and the girl turned me right off.
-
Just stop and think about that for one second ...
11 years old. Sixth grade. Little girl.
Does this not give you the slightest pause? -

Leon fucks Mathilda, you know that, right? He cornholes a 12 year old girl. You don't see it, but it happens. This is okay, though, right? As long as she doesn't say cunt and kill people?
Go whack off to your Miley Cyrus posters you pack o' pedos. -
Liking Kick-Ass less now than before. This is NOT what I was looking for in this film.
-
since I saw this at BNAT... and I can't wait to see it again. All of you who are bitching about how it looks stupid, fake, dumb, etc., have no idea how awesome this movie is to behold. Not that I blame you... I had no idea until I saw it. Trust me... it's great. Only the cynical douchebags here who hate absolutely everything will be talking trash about this movie once it's released. The rest of us will love the hell out of it and see it a few times with our best buddies. I've already told a few of my geekiest, comic-book loving friends to plan on it. Can't wait to see it again.

I can't take it anymore. You whining motherfuckers are unbearable. Fuck this site and the cunts who visit these talkbacks.

by tehcreepythinman
Subtext etc.? Or is it just PEW-PEW-PEW-KABOOM!!!
-
2-3 punches followed by some homoerotic wrestling on the ground?? CMON!
-
that is one of the best trailers ive seen. I hope the film lives up to that trailer as most films dont. Anyone who hates that trailer really doesnt belong at this site and should just leave. Seeing an eleven year old girl call some bad guys cunts is awesome because you never see it in Hollywood movies and frankly at this stage im happy to see anything in a hollywood movie i havent seen before. plus its only a word (just four little letters). Great movies are so rare these days so Please live up to the hype!!!
-
never thought I'd see the day you turn into prude. I thought it looked great. Hey she's 12 in comic and We all want faithful translations right? So ladies put away your skirts and get over it.
-
That's what the haters don't get! It's meant to play damn near like a drama, and the film seems to be playing beat for beat off the comicbook. This is great! And, yes, Hit Girl has an arc, and it's through the hero, Kick Ass, that she reaches her arc. I love that diner scene where she says to Cage, "I'm just fucking with you, daddy." And it's obvious to me that this trailer is just focusing on Hit Girl. Perhaps the next one will be Big Daddy, and then maybe Red Mist, etc. Can't wait. -
Dec 22, 2009 1:59:26 AM CST
Dumbest thing about this clip is that it exists at all...
by burnhollywood
Seems like the whole "Hit Girl" aspect of KICK-ASS is kind of a bonus add-on to the plot of a clueless schmuck playing at superhero...when you pull her out of context, it makes the movie look like it's trying way too hard.
As usual, the studio's so sweaty-eager to get asses in seats that they're wrecking one of the surprise elements of the film that's better left to word-of-mouth.
REALLY hate that "Banana Splits" music, too...fuck this ad. -
you gotta say it looks like she has super powers. I thought this was meant to be the real world. However i havent read the comics and know nothing of the universe she lives in. But as it looks so awesome ive decided i dont give a fuck about that!!
-
I think the problem we have here is this, America NEEDS to make children week. We see it everyday with Milton Bradley making games that there are no winners, everyone just breaks even(don't question it, it was in the news). Amerika likes to see their children weak and defensless, it starts with making up urban myths of razors in candy for Halloween, then moves to the US going bat-shit on the look out for predators because of dateline, now people get uneasy if a girl does ANYTHING that is more mature than her age would normally allow. Now think of this, America went crazy over how "irresponsile" that fanning girl's parents were for allowing her to act out a rape, that was nothing for Polanski to turn an eye at. Now that we have an 11 year old girl, standing up for herself and people are outraged at this?! The fucks all of your problem? It's a movie, I doubt he will walk out of the studio and talk course about her cunt, or fucking stab anyone with a kitana, so calm the fuck down, buckle up and enjoy the fucking ride. Movies are meant to entertain, if you don't think it will do this for you, then move on and let us enjoy it in peace
-
I meant I doubt she will go out, referring to cloe what's her face. iPhone doesn't like my fingers
-
"Anyone who hates that trailer really doesnt belong at this site and should just leave."
I hate this trailer, have been here nearly six years, and I'm not going anywhere.
What the fuck is with all these newbs showing up and inventing "rules" lately? It's like that childish tactic of calling anyone with a gripe, however substantiated a "hater" or "troll", or (my favorite) asserting that "you haven't seen it, you have no right to judge!"
NEWS FLASH: this site is about grouchy fuckers expressing their opinion on upcoming movies, however hateful, and regardless of how wet your panties are for a given title. Cowboy up. -
You guys are awesome. keep up the good work. As if real movie critics weren't pretentious enough, now we got people criticizing character portrayals in 1 min clips. You are all a bunch of fucking morons and I hope you all catch herpes on your anuses you fucking douchebags. and have a nice day.
-
Anyone who says "Cowboy up" should just leave.
-
No really fuck you and your joyless lives. If you can't get behind this then you're either too timid to be here or too jaded to be anywhere. Go get laid if you can and mellow your fucking bitter, cynical asses out a smidge.
-
95% of you douchebags are probably the same people talking shit about Avatar, and we all know NO ONE went to see that movie right? And now 95% of you talk shitters are going to go out on opening weekend and see this movie too! Of course, you're gonna write about all the things you thought were wrong with this movie too. Anal herpes for all of you.
-
with genital warts and rubbing alcohol. you're opinions are so meaningless and lame. shut the fuck up... i mean it... shut... the .. fuck... up. From now on, I talkback about the people here, and not the movies. It's obvious that none of these fuckers have a VALID opinion on any of them, so they deserve this shit. So next we have.
-
That was really a smart comment you made about the Family Guy crowd.
-
Well said this movie is gonna own.
-
You sound like a 90 year old Born Again 700 Club dipshit, with a cerrated stick up your ass. Stick to the Disney Channel if you like, you easily offended cuntbag. You probably prefer the wholesome Jonas Bros.... all naked and oily in your bathtub, you sick bastard. Get the fuck outta here!!!
-
"blah blah blah blah... marketing.. blah... bad costumes... blah... need to get laid need to get laid.... blah blah blah... internet porn... thank you God.... blah blah blah.."
-
Are you a screenwriting professor, because I was really interested in your comment about contrast and character in that trailer. Can you please explain more how you can write a better trailer for that movie? We'll all be waiting with bated breath, ok?
-
Anyone who has a real life should just leav
-
The story is pretty awesome too. It's not just WHIZ-BAM-BOOM_BAFF!! There's enough of the to keep any comic book fan sated, but the characters are interesting. Hit Girl isn't just some one-dimensional character who shows up, kicks a bunch of ass and leaves. Nah. She has a little back story with her dad, Nic Cage, and it sets up for some really nice moments.Sure, it's not some high-class drama... there's a lot of bone breaking and blood spilling. But, trust me, IF you were the kind of kid who loved wasting hours and hours on the weekend reading comics while your mom was telling you to get the hell outside and ride a bike like a normal kid... you're gonna eat this movie up. I was that kid (I'm married now and have a great life... but, man alive, could I waste time reading comics as a kid) and I LOVED this movie.
-
Speed Racer and Land of the Lost? The answer to your question is.. yes, you are out of touch and you are getting too old. Maybe you should just kill yourself, you pathetic bastard. Have a good day.
-
Do us all a favor and rewrite the movie for all us intellectually superior watchers of sci fi and comic book movies, please.
-
That's not a compliment.
-
until i see the full cut. trailers look fun and comic book OTT, but it reeks of trying too hard. if the action does show some originality, and doesnt rest on a gimmick of a 12yo girl doing matrix shit, then it could be fun. not great but entertaining nonetheless. hype will do this one no favours i think.
-
when a 10 year old boy was heard cursing in robocop2...and he never said cunt the wingnuts are gonna have a field day with thisand kudos to the genius who decided to use the dickies music in this preview
-
is shitI don't know what to think about this movie. I'm not sold on the premise alone, but the action does seem to be decently choreographed.On another note, I think it's hilarious how cool it has become to shit on the Matrix sequels like they were total and utter garbage. Not saying they were great pinnacles of filmmaking, but they weren't utter trash. If they were, why are alot of action movies ripping off sequences/camera angles, etc from those two movies?The part where the girl kicks the gun in the air, close-up on gun...straight from Matrix Revolutions.
-
god, i really hate you young ass punks go watch the fuckin disney channel
-
it looks really fucking stupid. I rolled my eyes the whole time.
-
And if you cunts don't like that trailer, you can just fuck off!
-
Yep.
-
does the story keep exactly to the comic's first arc? in other words, does a main character die?
-
It is my understanding that they are sticking very close to the books... however, I read somewhere that there would be some differences between the movie and ish 8 (when it finally hits.) Can't remember where I read that though.
-
That looks great. Oh and on the "no-cunt" team, um, you guys realize that it's people like you that hurt the US film industry right? The reason why we see so many remakes and so-forth? Take your "this is acceptable and this is not" shit back to the Dark Ages. Then again, if we didn't have so many censors maybe the foreign market would suffer because people like me wouldn't have to leave the US behind every once in a while to find original ideas. Yes, Kickass is original. Yes, it may make you uncomfortable. I would much rather have shit like this pouring onto screens than shit that is in the guise of "childrens entertainment" telling kids to fuck and buy buy buy. If they edit this movie because of responses like this I'm going to hold all you pussies responsible. Seriously. Fuck your Puritan bullshit. I think I'm going to take my 5 year old daughter to this just to fuck with you. No, probably not. At 13, yes. Absolutely. Any step girls can take in films out of patriarchal madness and idiocy is a good one. What have we seen young men do in movies? What the hell is the difference? My daughter will be raised on Kill Bills and Hit Girls because the girls within are independent badass girls instead of shiteating long-suffering sluts. Fuck the Puritans!
-
Mindless violence and it makes no fucking sense. Supposed to be realistic but nobody would survive what happens to this kid. Fucking stupid ass bullshit. If you enjoy this book then you are officially a moron.
-
...in this talkback...the majority of them have posted juvenile, infantile rants against those who dislike this trailer. I think it speaks volumes about the fanbase for this film...and I don't want to be in a theater full of those people.
-
Cage sure knows how to pick 'em. It's a wonder he's still getting work considering the legacy of turds he's built into a "career", and this one looks like the big steaming one at the very top.

Sicuv Uyall, SUCK THE SHIT OUT OF MY ASSHOLE YOU CUNT!!!
by tehcreepythinman
-
why are you talking about extremes?, how about something in between that may give your daughter some hope
-
haven't read the book, is it meant to be rediculously over the top?
-
YES SENSEI!But seriously, this is at Empire, a non-American site. Most moviegoers wouldn't know the source material for this, or know that it's coming out. So, they're not marketing to the people in America, they're marketing it to people in the UK, where 'cunt' is like a unisex pronoun like 'dude', if I remember Sexy Beast right.Besides, if you're not the audience for this flick, what do you give a fuck if other people are? You really think that a movie has the ability to change the world? I mean, I really like Citizen Kane, but as far as I know the paper magnate that roman a clef was about died a bazillionaire and the guy who made the flick died selling peas and voicing an animated robot. For scale.Movies don't change dick. Unless, there's some guy out there with a Heartbeeps based religion. That would be cool.
-
Its on my list to see, I also bet that all the haters who bad mouth the trailers will be the same cocksuckers that will see it on opening weekend...
-
it's based on a graphic novel. It's a tired rehash of Matrix style acrobatics. It's got the hitman relationship from Leon. It's a pastiche of superheroes... In fact it's nothing but a revisionist take on an entire overexposed, tired, burned out genre. Watchmen was about superheroes in the world, followed by 800 other bad knock offs. How the fuck is that original?
-
The comic is a bad juvenile attempt at Frank Miller styled action book but it comes off as braindead bullshit beating a dead horse.
-
Am sure will be a fun, enjoyable movie, but I have a feeling that, unlike Avatar and Star Trek will not be overanalysed by certain people on this site.....until it becomes popular or critically acclaimed by the mainstream.
So be here for the real entertainment late April next year, when you can see some people who love the hell out of this movie, a few weeks later, when there is mainstream acclaim, come out with comments like "Mathew Vaughn - what a hack" or "in that scene when Hit Girl shoots all those guys she shot 14 bullets yet she only loaded 12 bullets into her gun, I want that explained!!!", or "Kick-Ass sucks - fact" . -
People's tastes do change. My movie tastes haven't changed too much. I'm 40, and I'm pretty sure I'll like Kick Ass as much as I would have when I was 14. I'm looking forward to seeing Avatar sometime in the not-too-distant future. I could not be more excited about Tron Legacy.
I've got kids (two daughters) and the whole ultra-violent, ultra-swearing Hit Girl does not bother me. It's a *movie*. Don't think I'll let either of my children watch it (maybe on a semi-sanitized FX version or something, which I will also watch, because I love the dubs they do for some of the profanity-laced tirades: "You fruiting kook! I'm going to shove this gun straight up your nose!").At age 40, I'm a lot more in to classic movies--I love Gone With with Wind and Casablanca, movies I don't think I could have been bothered to watch when I was 20. They were showing State of the Union (Tracy, Hepburn, cameos by Alf-Alfa and Margaret Hamilton, dir. Frank Capra) last night on AMC, and I watched the whole thing. 20 years ago, I don' think I woulda done that.
But people's tastes change in different directions. I was a huge comic book collector in my teens, thought I'd be doing that forever. I haven't purchased a comic book in years. The only trades I've bought have been things like Cerebus, from back when I was an active reader. Tastes change. Sometimes they don't. It's different for everybody. If you're into different things, then . . . cool. One nice thing is there is a lot of film out there.Perfume was a great film. The trailer didn't really sell me, so I'm glad I picked it up on DVD on a whim. I was really won over. And my wife hated it. Which again goes to show: different strokes for different folks.I can pretty much guarantee that she'd loathe Kick-Ass. And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love it. -
But I'm still excited by this film.
-
You don't have a Heartbeeps Church in your area? Then, I'm sad to say, you haven't been saved.

From here to way over there. Ooh yeah mothafuckuuhhuuhhh I would kick her fuckin derriereeeyyeeer.
You fucks know the rest. -
Award goes to John Lithgow as Arthur Mitchell/the Trinity Killler and his delivery of "Shut up cunt" to his wife at Thanksgiving.

...it's not as though she's butchering other little girls. She's butchering Bad Guys.That's why god gave us Bad Guys in the first place. He gave us cows that we might enjoy hamburgers and steak, and he gave us Bad Guys that we might enjoy killing them as we see fit...and training our children to do likewise.
-
When this tops out at 30-35 million and everyone on here screams and cries about how the country is full of puritans because they don't like watching young children butcher people, then it will be time to start looking forward to the next pathetic pedo-centric piece of shit that sweaty 35 year-old white men can get turned on by. I like how if you don't enjoy watching children portrayed as murderers you are some sort of ultra right-wing fascist. What a sad bunch of people. Being a geek is no fun anymore, it's just sad and creepy.
-
just to make sure their target demographic is locked in.
-
JOhn Lithgow just ruled that show.
-
You might even say it was Kick Ass.......ahem Total escapist fiction, and i'll be there for it :)
-
nor is the idea of a 11 year old killing people.the issue is that we were promised that this was a real life superhero story based in REAL LIFE. this girl flipping around and catching clips in the air a la Tomb Raider (and any number of silly ass action movies) doesn't jive with that. this looks as over the top as Hancock, sorry to say it, not like a real world story.

by flickapoo
...that a robber would break into our house in the middle of the night and try to sneak down the hallway towards the bedrooms.Of course I would hear him, because I could never fall asleep...and I would hide silently in the darkness and ambush him.In the desperate struggle I would bite his throat, severing the jugular like White Fang...The headline in the paper the next day in huge type "LOCAL BOY SAVES FAMILY!!"...and a picture of me, smiling...covered in blood and gore from the lower lip down.This was my dream when I was eight...I have no problem with Hit Girl...

Just look at them, the little bastards, that one from Orphan is next.
-
hopefully Hit-Girl catches on so a bunch of women can dress up as her at conventions and then all of the losers who had dirty thoughts about her in the movie won't feel so bad when they wack it to the girls at the convention. Because, you know, this movie will be so 'cool' and 'edgy' and if you don't think so you are apparently a puritan. Morons.

The man has NEVER given a bad performance and was also in the Terror at 20,000 Feet segment of The Twilight Zone Movie which is ONE OF THE GREATEST PIECE'S OF CINEMA EVER MADE™!!! That also contributed to one of the best injokes of ALL TIME when William Shatner (star of the original TerrorAt20KFeet episode of the Twilight Zone) appeared on 3rd Rock from the Sun and they both commented on seeing something on the wing of a plane.

-
to Home Alone really looks to have upped it's game.
My teenage nephews are really excited about this movie. I had a little interest from the first trailer; this trailer killed the momentum. -
...you know you dreamed of the fat lady down at the local 7-11 with the huge bazonkas playing naked twister with you and your math teacher...Tell the truth man...
-
Keanu Reeves' little snot-nosed brother in River's Edge.
-
Good reference. And didn't you just want to beat the living shit out of that kid...and I believe Keanu did, too...haven't seen that film for a while.
-
...your childhood fantasy of hiding and ambushing an invading burglar and then sinking your teeth into his neck and smiling while his blood drips down your lips is a repressed homosexual fantasy, and represents your desire to suck a cock and have the cum dribble down your chin. I suggest you place a discreet ad in the shady section on craigslist and explore these fantasies. Yours, Dr. Chakraborty
-
...good one.
-
What a missed opportunity to do a high octane fun Teen Titans movie. The original crew from the Gil Kane era set to today. It will seem tame now to ride the coat tails of KickAss.
-
Just kidding but I always lusted after this teacher that was at my Grade school. I think she taught Grade 3 but man was she fucking hot. Looked like a young Linda Blair, not the way she looked in The Exorcist FYI. If you haven't seen the nude photos she did then do so right now. You can thank me later.
-
I can see being mildly amused by this but the fact that a foul mouthed 11 year old girl committing graphic acts of violence sends Harry and all you drooling fanboys into such a masturbatory frenzy really disturbs me.
-
..."watching a certain Hit Girl clip on AICN makes me think about porn and want to touch myself. Is this normal? I also think about porn when I brush my teeth. And when I eat cereal. And drive my car. Certain trees in my neighborhood always make me think about porn. Oh, and taking a dump ALWAYS makes me think about porn. I watch a lot of porn".Signed,Half The Talkbackers In This Talkback
-
...I was like a little kid in a Fellini movie...
-
People bitch & moan about a little girl using profanity. Remember the Butterfly Effect? The kid who played Tommy at age 13 was was cursing up a blue streak. "Fuck" this. "Motherfucker" that. Nevermind the fact that Tommy set a dog on fire & beat the shit out of some guy in a movie theater.
The only reason that it's so shocking here is that she's a girl. It's that old "sugar & spice" bullshit. Girls are expected to be virginal & pure of heart while boys are expected/allowed to be unruly hooligans.
The actress playing Hit-Girl is almost 13. I'd have much more of a problem if this were a 5 year old screaming that shit. Age 5 is a much more formative year than 12 or 13.
At age 12 or 13, you're already doing and saying a lot of shit your parents wouldn't approve of anyway. Maybe some people here kinda forget what it was like to be that age. At 12, you're less of a big baby and much more of a short person.
Besides, the concept of childhood is manufactured anyway. Ages 13, 18, & 21 are all arbitrary numbers. There used to be a point where, if you were old enough to work the fields or go to the mines, you were your father's equal. The ideas of adulthood and childhood probably developed in the early 20th century, somewhere between WWI and WWII.
It's interesting though. In the early 20th century, you saw society trying to ifantilize the under 18 and under 13 crowd. Now, in the early 21st century, there's almost a turnaround and portions of that trend are being reversed. "Kids" are being recognized as being smarter & more able than once thought. Dopes like Miley Cyrus "shock" everybody with the concept of teen sexuality when none of that would shock anybody who has ever been a teen.
Some girl shouts "cunt" or "fuck" in a movie.... Not shocked at all. Maybe if I lived in the bible belt and went from baby to adult without having been a (pre)teen myself.
The idea that kids can and will speak like adults, even in the worst ways, is not shocking. The idea that people think that some arbitrary age separates kids from adults probably more shocking.
As far as it being too extreme for the character.... Read the comic. It seems a bit fitting for her. She's everything Kick-Ass thinks and says that he is, but dialed up to 11. The idea that she's this harsh "extreme" is well within character and the story. -
Of a childhood actress? Anyone wanna take bets?
-
...and it all seems like some kind of weird Rorschach test... What I see is a potentially awesome, if highly foul-mouthed, revenge fantasy movie for, as they say, "the kid in all of us." Christ, I kinda hope girls embrace this character. Not the cursing or murderous behavior, but the idea that they don't have to take shit from anybody. Girls need that in this fucked up world.
-
AICN loves it? Talk backers hate it. AICN hates it? Talk backers love it.
-
It's not shocking when it's obvious, guys. Also: I've seen THE PROFESSIONAL and loved it; don't need to see it dumbed down for ADHD Nation.
-
But I like it. Still don't like Nic Cage's character/dialogue/acting though.

Has everything about this film got past the censors yet?
by moonlightdrive
-
The people who "hate it" seem to be posting at a 3:1 ratio. If you don't like it and/or aren't interested, WHY are you posting about it several times in the same talkback? It's like a legion of AsimovLives clones in here. Get a fucking life instead of riding in here on your high horse and doing the "holier than thou" routine. It's sad and pathetic.
For the contrarians who claim that Kick Ass is unoriginal and tired, please provide a list of at least five major films that are similar. Sorry, some tiny independent no-budget piece of amateur filmmaking that you and 50 other people saw DOESN'T count. -
This little girl would need years of therapy after murdering all those people. This is a bad idea for shock purposes and pedophiles.
-
Is anyone saying ANYTHING really shocking anymore? Whats the deal with Millar movies, all everyone remembers from Wanted is Morgan Freeman saying Mother Fucker. Now this will just be the movie where that little girl said Cunt. After the original Assult on Precient 13, child violence became old.

DEFENDING THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH STIRS SHITSTORM OF OUTRAGE
by bringingsexyback
Really?!
So now it's prudish to think that having this young ELEVEN YEAR OLD girl portrayed being shot in the chest (multiple times) and cuss like a talkbacker for the sake of a stupid movie is, oh I don't know, just slightly crossing the line of decency?
Do some of you even have lines of decency? Does there not even exist a threshold you will refuse to cross?
Or are y'all just fucking with my head with reverse psychology?!?! -
You guys are such lame, sad fucking dorks. Comic is awesome, trailer is hilarious. I don't even know why I read these talkbacks anymore. Oh wait, to re-affirm my superiority!!! HAIL SATAN!!!
-
Kite, Gunslinger Girl, etc.
Kids killing hardened soldiers and gangsters is an absurd notion (although, in GG the children are cyborgs), but there seems to be a market for it.
I prefer my action grounded in reality, but different strokes I guess. Even at that, there is nothing impressive about this choreography that I haven't seen in dozens of Hong Kong films. -
I am sitting her enjoying the shit out of reading how your asses are all up in your rectum about this movie. And i'm glad that AICN will continue to bring more Kick-Ass news right up until April, and by then most of you won't be able to cough without spitting out last nights underwear. Kick-Ass will do just that, and all the wonderful controversy that is sure to go with it as soon as Fox News gets a whiff of it, bringing it even MORE publicity. Love it!

KICK-ASS WILL BE IN AND OUT OF 200 THEATERS INSIDE OF 5 DAYS
by bringingsexyback
The good news is it'll hit DVD in no time where it will be rightly enjoyed in the privacy of pedo homes everywhere.
-
It is prudish according to the pathetic worms that find this "edgy" and "cool" when it is really "sad" and "retarded". And yeah, it will bomb and they will boohoo how everything cool is overlooked because the mainstream didn't want to watch a child butcher people. They are so out of touch with any sort of reality it is sickening.
-
Yeah, maybe it'll even break 30 million at the BO.
-
All BS you've said over the Years BSB and this is where you draw the line. Have you ever seen the Professional. In case you missed the movie features a 13 year old Natalie Portmand and is rife with Underscored Sexuality and she learns to be a hitman, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I found out in the original script she would have killed people . I swear someone has kidnapped the real BSB.
-
The movie is deconstructing the entire Superhero with teen sidekick staple. What type of man would train their kid to be a vigilante alongside himself?
Instead of going the whole grim and gritty Dark Knight route, they chose the Adam West stand up citizen route. Cage is aping Adam Wests deadpan wholesome superhero schtick, but it's getting played against the psyche of someone who could train their offspring to be a killer. -
Dude I haven't seen The Professional!!! Sounds yucky.

Not looking to be knocked out of the park at all. In fact, it looks incredibly upsetting to me. Lame lame lame!

The awesome villain in avatar has reminded me how nice it is to see someone on screen kicking ass that actually looks like they could kick some ass. I thought that kids beating up adults was cool in The Last Electric Knight back when I was six but it's pretty played out now.
-
I agree. Stephan Lang was my favorite part of Avatar. And kids beating up adults is retarded and childish.
-
...and that's a feat in itself. Seriously, this looks fucking awful. Maybe I, along with a few others here, are getting prudish in our old age, but this is just horrible in every way imaginable. Shame on everyone involved.
-
Please.

The definition of irony is BSB accusing us of being pedos when he vehemently defends Michael Jackson.
This is a painting that was commissioned by MJ and hung in MJ's home - http://tinyurl.com/yjl7rl2 - that is the man that BSB defends while calling us pedos.
Fuck off BSB, you have no opinion worth listening to. -
but the only problem I had was with the song that they used for the action sequence. I think it kind of made it a little cheesy but it still looks good.

How depressing is this talkback? Nobody like seeing people getting their asses fed to them in well-choreographed action scenes? Oh no. Wait. It's a young girl doing the ass kicking and swearing, therefore it must be an instant fail.Quick, reshoot it with someone older like Taylor Lautner and then it'll be better.No, don't.Let's keep the little girl there because that's actually pretty cool. Unless you're a fun-extinguishing douche like some of the people on this talkback.I'm watching this and so are most of the people i know who've now seen the trailer. It's nice to have fun at the cinema sometimes.

Maybe I hit too close to home. Hey Nutsack, if it rocks your pedophiliac world to see an 11 year old girl in obvious, distasteful exploitative fare, then take pride in your stance. But don't project your tendencies on me.

The guy that wants Sly's Italian sausage rammed so deep up your arse that you choke!
You want to wander about the boards shocking (not really YAWN) people with your indifference over girl's death be my guest. Personally, I am sure you are a tiny insignifiCUNT ass clown.
Make a change, commit suicide!!! hahahahaha -
just wanted to add if people have not read or seen the Kick Ass comic they should not be passing judgment and giving their review of this clip. Broaden your horizons geek squad and drag your lame asses into a comic bood store once in a while. You might learn something. I dont see how people who were once great collectories of comics, now can't get their head otta their assess long enough to drop by a comic book store once in while. If you dont find time for ther things you love in life you will loose yourself in this F-ed up world. Stan Lee is the man and rules !
-
.. by the people who watch this clip of pint-sized ass-kickery and immediately think of pedophilia. They then proceed to accuse everyone else who thinks this is funny of being pedophiles in some kind of lame attempt to cleanse themselves of the nasty thoughts they had. Seek help immediately. That shit stays on your permanent record in most states. And although this movie might not be totally original, it DOES respect the source material. That, in itself, is a pretty original concept these days... and it looks fuckin' FUN! I like fun.
-
Too bad Kick Ass is a terrible comic. And worse it takes all of 5 minutes to read the whole thing. Though this mean Kick Ass could be the first movie better then the comic. I mean Milliar didn't even right the comic with a COMIC in mind, he wrote it with a movie in mind. I'm glad he's taking more control over his shit, since Wanted had nothing to do with the amazing comic. I wish he just redid Wanter. Also I find it funny in Kick Ass how he totally rip-off that scene in the Wanted movie where the guy jumps through the window and it shatters all slow around him. I don't think this will make up for the shittyness of Wanted though.

The New Karate Kid Trailer shits on the Cobra Kai
by jeangrey_x23_lesbosex
I've watched it three times and I can't get the taste out of my mouth
-
Going to plop down ten bucks to see it when it comes out? Probably. It's like the losers ranting for weeks ranting about how shitty New Moon is, then going to see it with their girlfriend.
-
Somebody posted above that this isn't the girl who was originally cast but that original girl's mother objected to the content. I'm glad to hear that. I love that scene in BRUNO where SBC is interviewing different awful Hollywood stage parents and describing all the different dangers his production was going to expose their children to (wasps, burning sparks, etc.) and you see all these soul-less, desperate, terrible parents agreeing every step of the way. Nice to see, whether you agree with her decision or not, there is at least one Hollywood Mom out there who won't sell her child out when it goes against her personal beliefs.
-
the other trailer and clip of her dad shooting her gave the impression it might be interesting but this one just makes it look cheap and cheesy. maybe i'm wrong but i wont find out in theaters for sure.
-
You're all obviously having some sort of inappropriate feelings about a 12 year old girl doing nasty things to bad people. I'm not really sure what you watch on a daily basis on the interwebz, but I saw nothing like that in the teaser. I'm not really getting how you're associating this ultra-slick, over the top violence with that of child molestation. Are you just throwing it out there in hopes of making people feel guilty or something? Lame.
-
You're the asshole that defends the King of Pedophilia Michael Jackson. NAMBLA called, they need a new spokseperson, perhaps you should apply.
And WTF does a girl assassin have to do with pedophilia anyway? Such a stupid argument. If you don't like it fine, but accusing us of being closet pedophiles, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DEFEND MICHAEL JACKSON, is beyond ridiculous. -
... who has 3 children, so get a life you haters this is fun.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0963359/ -
...THEN FIND YOUR MUM AND KICK HER IN THE CUNT WITH A SQUARE-TOED BOOT YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL PURITAN ASSCLOWNS. LOVING NIC CAGE IN THIS. EFFING BRILLIANT.
-
New Moon really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Much MUCH better then Twilight 1 and Polar Compass.
-
which is a shame, because I really wanted to discuss this movie, which looks great. but the inane run of comments like "you people enjoying this are savage, sick people who need psychiatric help!!!" are just too grating to endure. if you've never met a 12 year old kid who says those type of things, then you grew up under a rock. and if you've never seen a movie that gratuitously embellishes violence for comedic effect, maybe you should go watch the news and enjoy a dose of the real thing. some of you really need to lighten the fuck up.
-
Where to begin. So multiple Kick Ass defenders proclaimed the "haters" to be pedos for actually calling out this stupid movie. Nice argument, right in line with the 'thinking' expected from fans of this shit.
So yeah, I agree with you about arbitrarily accusing people of being pedos. Why don't you look at your own side, stupid?
As for this MJ kick you're on. What's there to defend? The guy was a major benefactor of the Make-A-Wish foundation and they lauded his help to the day he died. Are you saying Make-A-Wish is aligned with NAMBLA? These people - who actually help sick children every fucking day - never had a bad word about him.
Meanwhile, YOU take PLEASURE in watching a movie - not a fucking anime, not a comic book, but something realistic - where an 11 year old girl gets shot point blank in the chest.
Looks like you're the one in need of defending pal. -

by bigbaldpapa
But this film is not going to get anything out of my wallet. The premise of the normal kid becoming a vigilante was cool. 12 year old, foul-mouthed assassin?
No. -
That makes it good and not pathetic? Interesting. "Watching children butcher people is cool and awesome because it was in a comic before" Clowns.
-
I'll see this shit...if only because Cage needs my financial help.Besides...if you don't think an 11yr old wacking bad guys in a schoolgirl outfit isn't insane amounts of wrong fun; Well all I can say is you politically correct, moralizing fucks need to take your wife's dildo out of your ass, turn off the Celine Dion album you just bought, walk down to the nearest bar and turn in your man card right now.

by bringingsexyback
That is, until his next pre-foreclosure letters arrive. Sucker.

Obviously you are not privy to the pleasures of prostate stimulation.

This movie will do less than Bangkok Dangerous numbers. Deservedly.
-
I got sent this trailer by my friends... we're all enjoying the fuck out of it. All I hear is about how awesome it is and think "I wonder if it's up at AICN.... even the losers THERE can't complain against the awesomeness!"... I just read the first 20 posts. You guys are fucking idiots.

WHAT, THEY PUT OUT TRAILERS OF A LITTLE GIRL GETTING SHOT
by bringingsexyback
and expect nothing but raves, enthusiasm and shouts of "job well done"? LOL
-
Know that the girl, obviously has limited range. She played the same character in that movie, just will less shots to the chest. She's now Home Alone kid or 6th Sense boner.
-
...don't care about this movie. It could be okay, but aside from the tease of more quality mega-acting from Cage, everything else is just screams "meh." Oh, wow, this pre-teen girl is gruesomely killing guys, how edgy! Oh, wow, she's foul mouthed too, that's so extreme! It's fine if you guys like it, it doesn't (necessarily) mean you're all sociopathic weirdos and I'm glad they made a movie for you, but until I hear a review I can trust or see some Cage-tastic scene chewing, I'm sitting this one out. -
That's why she's Zooey.

Shhhhhh! Jeebus will smite you for your commentary!

And maybe Cage will regrow his hair and learn to spend wisely.

It was fair.

I would contact the proper authorities.

Don't want to be the Ash_Williams of this talkback.
-
What is she supposed to be, Rene Zellweger Jr.? Loved the music that sounded like Shonen Knife doing a cover of the Banana Splits, though.
-
"Oooh, look how fucking edgy I am! I'm going places no one else will! And, btw, did I mention that 'Kick-Ass' takes place in the real world? Yes, in the real world. No fucking around with super powers in my book!" The comic is mediocre and it looks like this will be mediocre as well. "Real world." Oh, bite me, Millar. Isn't it time for you to create your next major-motion-picture-pitch-disguised-as-a-comic-book?

LastOfTheV8Interceptors: Ha, I tend to always agree with u man
by the green gargantua
It is true, there is not a shred or eroticism in that trailer! Yet many TB fuck wads are creeping themselves out on it. Ugh, gonna take a third shower now.
-
I'm with you mate, I don't find the concept of an 11 year old girl calling people 'cunts' and shooting bad guys 'edgy' or 'cool' in the slightest.
I find it creepy and disturbing as fucking shit and am pretty amazed that we're the ones in the minority here. -
...I don't get it. Having a daughter has changed my perspective on a number of things...but I still think this looks fun.
-
Wow a little girl with guns!!!?? If I had never read a manga or seen an anime, fuck if I had never heard of Japan I would find that really exciting!!! And fuck Beatrix Kiddo too, the ugly pituaitary gland freak. Just fuckin with ya, looking forward to it.

Damn that Kenny Rogers!

I've watched your post over ther years I must admit You seem rather Hypocritical. If this Movie was PG-13 and didn't feature a cursing little girl shooting and stabbing people everyone would be bitching about how Lame the movie and how hollywood would not take any risks in adapting the Comic book. As for as BSB let get this right its OK if this was a Anime, or Comic or hentai, but not a live action movie thats more hypocrisy.
-
Erin Gray was in it.
-
or significantly change her character from the comic the fan boys are already up in arms with what happened to wanted....significantly changing kick-ass with millar's blessings wouldve totally destroyed his street cred yes, on the page it plays out much differently...but remember, this is just an actress reading lines
-
drturing brought up the pedo angle first, a guy in your camp, then you helped propagate it into what it has become.
The only true pedo support in this TB is your horrific support of MJ the boy fucker. Did you even bother to look at that painting MJ had displayed in his home? Did you? You're honestly going to sit here and tell us that that shit is acceptable and normal? If you can't even admit that painting is totally fucked then you have blinders on that are the size of Nebraska. -
why is it that the haters keep talking about the sexual aspects to the character?
-
... it almost had me thankful Ratner wound up with X3 instead of Vaughn.
Almost. -
Anyone who owns a painting like that should go directly to death row. I know a jury acquitted him of all charges and everything, but psssh! the judicial system is for weak-minded pussies. Maybe if Jackson was regularly shot by his father as a kid, he wouldn't have grown up into such a freak. -

YOU FUCKING PEDO'S ARE SOO OBVIOUS IT'S NOT FUNNY.....
by tehcreepythinman
Sorry but the truth is that you are sexually fixated on a 12 year old girl and use you use the fact that she kills bad people as justification for your obsession with her. The reason I’m against it isn’t for some faggity “moralistic” reasons. It’s because it is such a lame idea in the first place and it just gives you emotionally stunted kiddie fiddlers someone to twiddle your knobs over. Oh, look, the sweet innocent girl is really a killing machine with a toilet mouth. This is what you nerds consider to be “edgy” comic book fare? I wonder how some of you would you feel if, at some point in the movie, she lifted up her dress revealing a cock swinging between her legs. Would you feel cheated that your object of sexual desire was really a boy? Would it send you spiraling into an abyss of psychosexual self loathing that you got all excited over what you thought was a 12 year old girl?
-
Interesting, isn't it? These people see a child killing people in an over-the-top comic-book movie and sex is the first thing that comes to mind. Then they come on here and accuse anybody who likes it of being a pedophile. It's projection. Drturing, BSB, and the rest of the morality police obviously have serious issues.
Boys, just because Hit Girl gives YOU a stiffy doesn't mean the rest of us are getting off on it sexually. That's like saying if you enjoy adult superheroes, you're a flaming homosexual who is aroused by men in costumes. IT'S A GODDAMN MOVIE. -
Stop projecting your own pedophile sexual fantasies on other people FFS!
And just so you stupid douches know, by the end of this movie there are some very serious consequences ahead for all involved. By the end of this story being a superhero isn't quite so much fun anymore. The creators of this know exactly how ridiculous this is. Fuckheads. -
Seek help. The ONLY talkbackers who are "sexually fixated" on her are you, drturing, BSB, and others who claim to hate this trailer. Seriously, read through this whole talkback or just do a keyword search for "sex" and you'll see. Those of us who do like the trailer haven't even hinted at anything REMOTELY sexual about her. You creeps are fucking sick.
-
i would think that would be a great take however, that is more garth ennis (who loves to pull shite that fucks with a reader's head) than millar, (who doesnt get nuance) and again, what would you have done with the hit girl character, and do you make sure never to watch the professional? or now that portman is legal, is that ok?
-
So you're saying that people who are suggesting that the filmmakers are sexualising a little girl by having her dressed in leather and using sexual swear words are in fact the real paedos?
-
"Anyone who says "Cowboy up" should just leave."
Too tough sounding for you, squirt? Okay, how about "Quit being such a whiny fucking pussy for once in your life and learn to go with the flow on this site...we're not your fucking douchebag Boomer parents and won't change our ways because you're getting all teary eyed and pouty".
Better? -
I'm just starting to read the Green Lantern talkback and it's obvious sex is all you think about it. No wonder you can't handle seeing a little girl in costume. Kinda sheds some light on your comments here. You probably creamed your pants watching the trailer, you disgusting pile of shit.
-
and what about it dont you like? this is exactly how the comic played out, and i respect vaughn for respecting the source material
-
well at least her character would have had one, had he/she not cut it off

"with genital warts and rubbing alcohol. you're opinions are so meaningless and lame. shut the fuck up... i mean it... shut... the .. fuck... up. From now on, I talkback about the people here, and not the movies. It's obvious that none of these fuckers have a VALID opinion on any of them, so they deserve this shit."
Speaking of whiny little bitches...
I especially like the "shut... the .. fuck... up" bit. Very tweenage girl...no wonder this Hit Girl ad has you psyched. She's probably how you imagine yourself, one you're on your own and able to cross-dress anytime you want to. As it is, your parents probably raised your allowance just so you'd be out of the house more often... -
...is wrong wit you people? either hate/love/like/dislike the trailer but where does this pedophilia come from? if see was bent over, taking her clothes off, or maybe dry humpin somethin then i could see why this is pedophiliac...but its a girl who slices people up and curses...
...so by that logic, if I like the trailer, Im a pedophile...ok?... so does it make you gay if like a trailer for any sly/willis/arnold movie? -

Just reminds me that, if STAR WARS were released in this era, the marketing goons would probably put Han Solo's Death Star "save" right in the middle of the ad. Tag line: THIS AIN'T YOUR PARENT'S 2001!

...killing people, wearing leather and saying 'fuck' and 'cunt' just doesn't sit right with me.
But hey, I am a massive prude. -
Here's an official publicity still from the movie. Of a 10 year old girl. Maybe 11, but Devin Faraci says she's 10. Maybe that's fantasy projecting? Now come on, seriously, this picture isn't a little bit odd for a child?
http://bit.ly/8cJ6im -
I couldn't agree more, that is pretty fucking creepy.
According to Captain Axis though, by pointing that out as being in any way suggestive or inappropriate you, me, BringingSexyBack and CreepyThinMan are the paedos!!! -

brabon300, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PROFESSIONAL BECAUSE.....
by tehcreepythinman
The movie doesn’t fetishize Natalie Portman’s character. The point of that movie was that she wanted revenge on the cops who killed her family and how she helped Leon regain his lost humanity which he repaid by sacrificing himself to save her from becoming a murderer and thus losing her soul. That movie had things, like, you know, IDEA’S and THEME’S. It wasn’t just “oh, look, she’s saying ‘cunt’ and massacring people”. I don’t think the horny pedo geekboys who look forward to KICK-ASS would understand that distinction. All they see is a young girl that they can drool over. Understand that I don’t really care that the character of Hit Girl brutally murders people by the dozen or sounds like Richard Pryor, and I do realize that this is an exaggerated ‘comic-book’ movie with broad caricatures, but without any sort of deeper meaning she’s just a one-note gag without any sort of character arc. The Dark Knight and Watchmen were movies that proved that comic book flicks could be done with as much quality and intensity as any Hollywood drama. KICK-ASS seems like a Batman & Robin style setback.
-
...I'm just going to google more pictures of Eva Green instead...
-
If you feel weird about that pic... perhaps you need to talk to someone about that. It's a schoolgirl with a gun. Perhaps the fact that I have 3 daughters makes me shrug my shoulders, but what's the big fucking deal? Grow up... or get help.
-
....um doesnt Kick-Ass have liked 10 issues whereasBatman has decades worth of material? reason KickAss isnt deep, because its not tryin to be...Watchman (book) was deep but lost the deepness when it became a borin ass movie (nothin deep bout the film endin to me)

...so did you let your 3 daughters wear mini skirts when they were 11?

yourSTEPDADDY, THEN WHAT ARE THE THEME'S OF KICK-ASS?
by tehcreepythinman
Is it just mindless comic book bullshit, like, say, a 12 year old girl chopping people up? One of the reasons that Batman has lasted so long is because the characters represent various elements of the human psyche, even Robin who represented the latent homosexuality of characters that dress up in tights to “beat” people into submission. The Dark Knight understood this with Batman, The Joker and Two-face representing Order, Chaos and Chance. Watchmen was a deconstruction of various comic books archetypes and despite your assertion that the movie was “boring” I thought it handled the books theme’s quite well despite a few minor fuck ups. Watchmen was meant to be a drama FIRST. Not an action movie. If you don’t understand that then you missed the point of the book.
-
I think there are 2 issues here, the paedo issue only being one of them.
By having an 11 year old child using sexual swear words like 'cunt' and 'fuck' you are inherently sexualising them. On top of this, that publicity still has her in a ridiculously short skirt. If anyone thinks 11 year old schoolgirls really dress like that then they are incredibly naive or just kidding themselves.
For me, the other issue, separate to the sexual one is the fact that it is horribly inappropriate to have a little girl swearing and murdering like an adult. This is made worse by the fact that she is taught to do this by her father. For me there are certain lines when it comes to decency and this comic / film crosses them.
-
i don't see sex, i see the fetishization of a child with costumes that match latent sexual fantasies. superhero stories are very eroticized, especially the costumes. and what's coming out of that little girl's mouth other than dirty talk? fetishistically depicting violence as something that's cool also reeks of latent psychosexual impulse. i just don't dig it that she's a child. if she was 16 and up I could give a shit. what's wrong with an 11 year old girl holding up a giant pistol wearing bobby sox and pig tails? I mean dude, come on.
-
Really?

FlickaPoo, WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING TO BE TURNED ON BY......
by tehcreepythinman
But what I do see is a bunch of, supposedly, grown men getting excited over a 12 ear old girl. Care to explain that without your cover story of “oh, she’s just so cool, look at her swear and kill people”, uh, and then what? Is that all there is to your fixation on her? The fact that you can’t tell me what her motivations are, what her characters arc is, or what theme’s she represents reveals to me that you have no other interest beyond the fact that she kills people, swears and is 12 years old. This means that either you are as emotionally retarded as the women that went to see Twilight New Moon, or you are a pedo. It’s one or the other and most likely both.
-
CreepyThinMan called it.

And Leon (The Proffesional) is how Hit Girls story shold be done.

-
...rational arguments...Neato!I didn't see the still, so I don't know about that. I can't argue much with someone who has a problem with her saying "cunt"...as a guy I feel like that word is off limits to me...women can use it all they like and it doesn't offend me, but I don't use it myself. I will say that kids say bad words all the time in real life and in the movies...this seems like a bit of a double standard. STAND BY ME raised some eyebrows at the time...and it's a classic now.The costume? Well, drturing is correct of course that all superhero costumes are about sex on some level...but only if you want them to be...I mean, LITTLE RED ROBIN HOOD is all about sex...I don't see that as a disqualifier. If it is then you're eliminating all kinds of stuff including most fairy tales, not just this character.For the record, and as a dad, I'm increasingly troubled by the sexualization of younger and younger kids by society...but this doesn't really bother me precisely because it follows the accepted norms of comic book heroes so closely.
-
... there is nothing sexual about that kid. What you see is a kid who, due to certain story elements that I won't spoil, idolizes people like Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood instead of Barbie and Hanna Montana(she does like Hello Kitty though if I remember correctly... it's been a while.) The school girl get-up that people seem to have a big problem with was used to great effect in that very clip! The bad guys totally disregarded her because she looked like an innocent little waif. I dunno, just seems bizarre to me that the people who are so concerned about sickos are griping about the ultimate weapon designed to destroy them with extreme prejudice! Go figure.
-
I don't feel up in arms about this, but I think I would be less bothered by Hit Girl cursing if she were represented by a cartoon, assuming that the voice actress was not twelve years old. I know children curse in the schoolyard etc., but it... just disturbs me somewhat anyway due to the child actor angle.

jackalcack, SADLY, 11 YEAR OLD GIRLS DO DRESS LIKE THAT.....
by tehcreepythinman
I read the gossip sites like The Superficial, What Would Tyler Durden Do and I Don’t Like You In That Way (can’t stand that obnoxious faggot Perez Hilton though) and they regularly make fun of celebrity trash like Miley Cyrus who’s 9 year old sister was dressed like a fucking Times Square whore this past Halloween and that’s not even mentioning the video of her singing Akon's "Smack That" and dancing. You might think this is the exception and that the Cyrus family are a bunch of inbred hillbillies (and you’d be right) but that nine year old girl is the fucking target audience of people like Cryrus and Britney Spears who fetishize themselves as jailbait which, in turn, influences young girls to sexualize themselves at an early age which is one of the reasons that teen pregnancy and disease are proliferating amongst young girls.
-
She was 16 and Wossy was 36, sick, sick, sick I tells ya
-
have one thing in common, none of the people who are complaining have read the comic. Now, I have complaints about the magazines (not in the comic, yet) and Nick Cage. That's the extent of my problems with this. Does the 10 year old girl swear? Sure as shit, she does, motherfucker. Is she supposed to induce naughty thoughts? Probably not, so if you are turned on by a little girl who a psychotic killer, seek help. She is supposed to be a world class killer with all the skills of a 10 year old fully trained Batgirl (the one who couldn't talk). This was the whole concept of the book. Complaining about this is like complaining that Marv from Sin City is lacking in social graces.

jackalcack, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FATHER/DAUGHTER.....
by tehcreepythinman
Relationship in the movie where he teaches her to be a murderer. I'm an exploitation fan and it would be hypocritical of me to be down on the obvious comedic device of playing against type and having a Father and his Daughter bond over their desire to viciously splatter gangsters. If they weren’t dressing as superheroes then I think that idea would make for a very funny comedy. The problem is that KICK-ASS is being sold as a post-modern deconstruction of the superhero genre where people without superpowers try to fight crime and get fucked up as a result but, at the same time, there is a 12 year old girl with apparent superhuman martial arts abilities and prolific weapons handling capabilities. The whole idea just seems tonally inconsistent. It’s like Millar just said “yeah, people want to be superheroes, but don’t have any powers, so they have to use guns, knives and swords (which actually makes them little more then vigilantes with a psychosexual costume fetish) and the “hero” dresses in a really fucking stupid green suit that makes him look REALLY gay, OH, and there’s a 12 year old girl who’s trained by her Daddy to be a killer.” KICK-ASS is a miss mash of geekboy obsessions without any sort of overriding thematic subtext while displaying the worst type of superficial comic book wankery which is why people laugh at you.
-
So because something was in a comic book that means it's ok no matter what? Moron.
-
It's a British thing to call people or, more specifically, men "cunts". If she was addressing a room full of schoolteachers, the line would sound awesome. But for a bunch of men wouldn't "pussies" sound more appropriate for an American?
-
...always has been, always will be. Ever see a little movie called HOME ALONE? All this does is add some fake blood to the mix.Well, that and the "cunt" word. If that bothers you you won't get any real argument from me.Of course I haven't seen the movie yet...could be a giant pedophile wank fest for all I know. This clip, however, is not.
-
Regardless of all the arguements about Hitgirl we've been having on here, I just find everything about this film cringeworthy. The worst thing about it is the name, 'Kick ass'. It's just so cheesy. I'm almost embarassed to say it out loud.
It just screams of someone (Mark Millar I suppose) desperately trying to sound cool and catchy.
I love comic book and genre movies but this one just has such a terrible stench to it. Even before I'd seen a single trailer and just heard what the concept was I thought it sounded shit.
I guess the reason is that it is all total bullshit. A teenage kid with no superpowers wouldn't be able to 'kick your ass'. He would be dead within a few weeks. I know there's some scene early on where he gets beaten up really badly (ripped off from Batman Year One) but then he what, trains for a bit and becomes an effective superhero? Well how's that different to any other superhero story. It isn't realistic and isn't realism the whole point of this story? Or did I miss something? -

yea I know, plus Wossy wasn't 36, and yea Jane does have some awesome jubblies. I'd like to say I agree with your above post to, regardless of all the shock and supposed pedo stuff, it just looks like this movie is trying to hard.
-
Not so sure. You can train a 11 year old to be a gold medal Olympic gymnast or a martial artist. Why can't you train them to be a near superhuman assassin?
Kids, especially preteens, are insanely agile, flexible, and eager to learn new things. Parents & coaches regularly put their kids through 4 hours a day of training. Often, they start as young as 3 years old.
It wouldn't be so unreasonable to think that Big Daddy, a guy who lives a life on the run, could spend nearly the whole day training his daughter to be a real life Batman.
tehCreepy's point is addressed in this particular exchange:
GANGSTER (to Kick-Ass): "Those comic books messed with your mind, kid. You can't do this Batman shit in real life. Nobody got that drive. Nobody got those bad-ass moves. Nobody did all those motherfuckin' pushups..."
HIT-GIRL (from the shadows): "Except me."
(Cue killing spree.)
I only question her strength level. Killing with guns and even harpoon guns is one thing. Having the strength to decapitate is another. Unless Big Daddy was also feeding Hit-Girl HGH then you have to suspend disbelief for the sake of fantasy. Hell, if an audience of yokels is WILLING to believe that the WWE's puny Rey Mysterio can take down the hulking Batista with a laughable 619 move then one has to assume that suspension of disbelief is a prerequisite for any fantastic entertainment. -
Kicking Ass on the mutha fucking day.
-
In a completely unrelated question, I can't think of the name of a movie. I need some help. In the movie, a hitman gets his target in a car, but gives him some hours to live before killing him. In this time, the hitman drives the target around to his destinations of choice before killing him. This movie was pretty recent. Any ideas?
-
...drive him around town...the assumption is that eventually he might kill him...
-
Collateral?
-
Naw, it's more recent than that. And the hitman tells the guy he's going to kill him, but that he's giving him a couple hours (i can't remember how long) to live, to do with whatever he wants.
-
You can't remember anything else about it? Did you see it at the cinema?

I saw the trailer come across here on AICN about a year ago.

hmmm... not sure, then, but the premise sounds pretty rad.
by jackknifed_juggernaut
-
It may be a bit pretentious of me, but...I have to believe that the premise that non-powered kiddos with a passion for "playing hero" can succeed is just a masterful feint on the writer's part to both engage the audience (none of us have super-powers) and push your disbelief way beyond it's now pre-defined limits.It seems to be celebrating the empowerment of imagination while acknowledging the sheer lunacy of the "super hero" as a realistic model for success that we all come to grasp as we become older and less innocent. The boy-man indignation on here is rampant. I have a 3,5, and 11 year old that use their imagination to kill bad-guys in a myriad of ways on a daily basis. but it is innocent and B & W and not of the real world, which I am happy for.
I understand the uneasiness that comes from feeling like an 11-yr old actress is being manipulated and damaged, but let's not forget that those of us that are older easily project thee ugliness of the real world onto what amounts to a dark satire. BTW, "Hit-Girl" is what "Kick-Ass" aspires too. Don't confuse Non-super-powers with realistic scenarios. It's part of "Kick-Ass's" story development and serves to hook the reader as a premise. Anyone who thinks this is supposed to actually be realistic has missed the point. The point is to take us back to that place as a child where we kicked ass along side our heroes on a page-by-page basis without being jaded by real life and cynicism. -

Kick-Ass does look like Twilight for comic books nerds
by miyamoto_musashi
but isn't that the target demographic of this site ?
Or are some people being hollier than thou now?
I have said before will be fun, and am still confident that this movie will not receive the "nerd rage" treatment that is far too common on this site (see Star Trek, Avatar etc.).
Its an interesting case study of our societites (and mostly talking about Americans, Brits, Australians here), that we are so prudish in regards to language and sex/nudity, but extreme violence is no or little issue. I have the feeling that the order we place on these for offensiveness, from least to most would be ; violence, then language, then sex/nudity. I really think it should be the opposite way around.
For me its either disturbing that you have a 11 year old girl acting out this kind of violence and excessive swearing or its all ok. -
So why would anyone want to adapt it as a post-Matrix Equilibrium shootfest?
I agree with what people are saying about her being too one dimensional now. The reason Kick Ass gets involved with her and her dad is that she does have a nice side.
Also, her plainclothes schoolgirl outfit is totally fan service for pedos out there.
Comparisons to Batman Year One aren't valid. Bruce wasn't exactly reduced to an invalid after his scuffle. He trained for years and was an adult with money.
Comparisons to Mystery Men don't work either.That was still a movie about people with super powers and gadgets. Just supposedly funny.
A more valid comparison would be the Watchmen, but this still isn't about super-powers or science fiction.
I do think that Kick-Ass has(had) potential as a great film.
The name "Kick Ass" is just as much an indictment of the people who read comics as it is an act of dorky fan service. Millar likes to mock out-of-touch nerds. I never bothered with the Wanted movie, and I didn't really care for the comic, but the conclusion of the comic was unquestionably making fun of nerdy comic book readers.
Millar isn't my favorite comic book writer, but I understand that this is one of his themes. I think that acknowledging that makes the name an interesting, almost Dada-ist approach to comic books.
I could still be won over, but I'm not really looking forward to this one. -
Hit Girl is flipping that whole Batman/Robin mythos on its head...where Batman was always so reluctant, careful and responsible with Robin, Big Daddy (and it's perfect how his outfit mimics Batman in the movie) is a totally irresponsible cretin turning his "ward" into a vicious little monster.
Unfortunately, ripping that joke out its context is doing the whole effort a disservice. What's happened to Hit Girl isn't "cool"...it's tragic and twisted, but from a black comedy standpoint (which the movie is), pretty hilarious. Not only is this stupid campaign ruining a great surprise, it's making the dipshits who concocted it into easy fodder for all the parents they're inevitably going to freak out... -
...but fuck this. Watching a over-the-top action scene is just retarded IMO. I'm done with fake fu and heroes that defy gravity in adult movies, why the hell watch a teenie do it?
You wanna see this, more power to you. I won't knock you, but don't expect me to say this looks good. -
I seriously cannot stress enough how we must check OUR OWN BAGGAGE at the door on this one when people start "pedo-associating". I got NONE of that out of the clip, and was almost convinced by the outrage here that I should have seen it as such...almost. Again, I think that concern for the actress in such an environemnt is a valid debate, but ultraviolent "hit-girl" is Millar's way of whispering to the reader that Kick-Ass is near-parody escapism, and if you aren't listening, that is your problem.
-
It looked interesting, but I've read some tough reviews. It seems like they couldn't make this into a movie fast enough. Was the series even completed before Millar sold this to a studio? A not-too-logical person might interpret this to mean that the property is wicked cool. I can understand why some people might be concerned, but in this age of South Park, is it really that shocking?
-
The girl is wearing a fucking one piece suit that covers everything. She had a skirt over top of it you fuckin pedo's.
-
Either they're going to get the "joke" and celebrate Kick-Ass for having it's own profane virtues, or they are going to show it no mercy and make an example of it as irresponsible filmmaking. It's gonna have to have some real merit as a story to get over those kind of obstacles. Is the source material really that good? Or is it just going to appeal to a certain blasphemous crowd?
-
...into this: ICK. Please, get some help. Fuckin' chickenhawks.
-
Ooh, this is terrible, a wee girl saying 'cunt' and shooting grown-ups and oooh and ah, and bollocks.This will be the greatest film ever. It will make Citizen Kane look like Freddy Got Fingered. I am like a total Avatard for this movie (I haven't seen it but I fucking love it anyway).

I highly doubt we're in the minority here ... quite frankly a lot of people are just finding this movie repulsive but since it's another paycheck effort by the downward spiraling Nic Cage, it's not even worth commenting on. Why are we commenting on it? Boredom, I guess.
-
Well I'm officially off the pedo argument as I grant you there is no sexual aspect to this character (from what I've seen in the trailers). What I find repulsive is the exploitation of a real 11 year old girl for violent entertainment purposes.
-
Not to impugn the vaunted poster that is Lockes, I seek only to infuriate, not annoy.
-
Well let's see again. Maybe you don't read so good.
MJ the supposed boy fucker was hailed by the Make-A-Wish foundation for his work in helping terminally ill children. They accompanied kids to Neverland and did not stop even throughout and after the original accusation and latter trial. They had never seen any wrongful activity and since this is fucking Make-A-Wish we're talking about here, you can bet your sweet ass they would shut down any associations if he was guilty of what the con artists were accusing him of.
Was his behavior odd? To say the very least. But the difference between Michael Jackson and you is ... he would be repulsed by any depiction of violence against children and would not take pleasure in watching a movie that exploits a little girl just to support Nic Cage's spending habits.
Enjoy your movie. -

CAPTAINAXIS - "I'M JUST STARTING TO READ THE GREEN LANTERN TALKB
by bringingsexyback
"and it's obvious sex is all you think about it."
Really? You mean I'm just your normal, average American male? Why thank you. -
I don't know what world you're living in, but here's a reality check. Name-calling by a fanboy like yourself, who obviously has zero standards and gets off on a flick where an 11 year old girl is exploited for shock value, means nothing.
If anyone creamed to this trailer, it's undoubtedly you. -
But if something as innocent(albeit strange) as Lazy Town can create seriously screwed up threads like this:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158281
...Then you need your head examined if you think this interpretation of Hit Girl isn't going to inspire something similar.
As Continentalop said, we've had our fill of fake fu, wishes-it-was-the-Matrix bullshit stunt work. Whether it's BS reloads, unnecessary wall runs or hanging off of bookcases to look cool(stationary targets are easier to hit!
If this is supposed to be a movie about people without super-powers(the trailer emphasizes this!)I stand by what I said about the appeal of the book being grounded(at least somewhat) in realism. -
That's what this movie says to me. The era of endless remakes and rehashed plots may finally be coming to and end! I dunno if Kick Ass will be any good, but I'm going to see it.. alone. And I kinda hope that I can buy my ticket from that blind guy who works at my local theater.(Let the Irony of that sink in for a sec..) But I'm totally sold at the moment!
-
I put down my hard earned cash for less than a handful of movies a year; this will be one. I caught the first few issues of the comic book and liked the premise. The trailer looks interesting enough to let me escape reality for a while.
-
It's all the Superhero cliches all rolled into one painful movie.
-
I wanna see it on 3D IMAX. BTW, I liked the previous trailer as much as this one ... the one where Cage shoots her and she gets back up and agrees to let him shoot her again if he will take her to the bowling alley afterwards. I think that one will get more complaints than this one, as some jackass could conceivably put on a kevlar vest and try the stunt at home.

BSB, hey there. I haven't traded comments with you on the boards in a while, so Happy Holidays to you and yours! As for your post above, regarding Hit Girl's sexuality, I'm not sure I would totally agree with your conclusion to back off and cut the filmmakers a bit more slack.You said: "Well I'm officially off the pedo argument as I grant you there is no sexual aspect to this character from what I've seen in the trailers." Well, I would argue that while she's not actually PERFORMING a sex act on screen, all the same by taking an 11-year-old girl and dressing her in skin tight leather and boots and topping it off with a purple stripper/hooker wig, they've still created a sexualized image that a man with pedo tendencies might lick his lips over. Not to mention, you also have her doing the whole "innocent, but naughty school girl" look within the movie too.So while some might argue that the trailer shows nothing OVERT in terms of sex, I can still easily imagine that there will be guys out there turned on by the way she looks and racing out to buy a poster of her or download screen captures to yank off to her.In fact, along those same lines, you also said: "What I find repulsive is the exploitation of a real 11 year old girl for violent entertainment purposes." Well, I TOTALLY AGREE with you on that. In fact, I agree and liked the posts you had in the other KICK ASS talkback, about how this signified a real death of innocence in the movies, especially when you have a scene of an adult shooting a little kid with a gun at point blank range. So, with that in mind, I'd also argue that BECAUSE Hit Girl is so exploitative and violent as a character... and BECAUSE she's acting SO adult in her actions and the way she handles herself in day to day life... you're STILL sexualizing her by making guys think "Hey, what would really be wrong with fucking her? She's thinking and acting LIKE an adult, so she must realize what's up. So if I could be alone with her and could get her to spread her legs, I bet she'd be down with it. Hell, since she's so adult thinking, I bet she'd WANT my cock in her. So screw her age -- it's totally okay to get a piece of her young ass."So, on the one hand, I realize it's a bit much to immediately label everyone a Pedo for possibly liking Hit Girl. However, that said, I still think the filmmakers DID sexualize an 11-year-old girl here in the cheapest of ways (sexy costume to make her look tawdry, swearing like an adult, over the top violence, etc). Then again, I guess I can't completely blame the filmmakers since it was Mark Millar, as the comic creator, who was a stupid enough cunt to think this was an acceptable idea to begin with...
-
After watching this at BNAT I have to say one thing: This movie is worth seeing with friends. My god this movie is worth seeing with friends. It is totally worth seeing.BUTThe movie really relies on Cage and this girl's story and performance for entertainment value.
Think of a Tarantino film that has great fight scenes and acting. Now take away the unique story and deep character development. What you have left is some of the most amusing and over-the-top violence and a lot of good to great acting but no unique context.It is wonderful how well this MOVIE is put together. There are a lot of great performances by other characters as well, most noteworthy Mark Strong as the drug boss. Vaughn walked the tightrope very well between being a boring every-day action flick and a complete spoof of other films. But did I really give a fuck about the main character Kick-Ass? Not really. The story gave me no real reason to care about Kick-Ass. He's a kid that is trying to become something larger and imitate his heroes... wow, original. That story has been done countless times and Vaughn isn't going to be breaking new ground (he doesn't really need to.)This is a perfect example where the overall story is lacking (blame the comic book folks) but the execution is wonderful. -
An intelligent and reasoned arguement. I made a similar point earlier that there are 2 issues here with the abhorrent creation that is Hit Girl:
The exploitation of a young girl by making her a violent, foul mouth killer
The sexualisation of a young girl by having her use sexual profanity and dress like a prostitute
As you so eloquently put it, the two things go hand in hand. However, by expressing opinions like this, you're likely to get slated on this talkbacks for being a paedo yourself, having 'mental problems' or being described as 'a disgusting piece of shit' as BringingSexyBack was earlier. -
Oops. Since we're talking about Hit Girl, sorry for the unintentional bad pun/choice of words there!Early in this talkback, ColonelFatHeart said: "I can't wait for this thing to come out. I'm just dying to see the Fox News heads explode!"Well, I think that will actually be the movie's biggest problem in the end. I actually think that WILL be one of the movie's biggest hurdles to leap. Based on past history, I think there's a pretty good chance someone like Fox really WILL go nuts over this, trying to tear it down by making it their latest spotlight of societal and moral outrage.Think about it: someone like Bill O'Reilly (to his credit) has made child protection laws and going after potential pedo material are BIG personal crusades to him. So I can ALREADY see someone like O'Reilly doing repeated segments on how wrong or reprehensible something like Hit Girl is, and how people should boycott the movie, the theaters where it's playing...etc, etc, etc.For that matter, I can't see any other major news outlets supporting this either or giving it glowing reviews. On the other hand, I can see them trying to play to the same moral outrage that Fox News will try generate, to milk things for their own ratings gains as well.In fact, one of the reviews I'm most interested to see will be Roger Ebert's. I'm old enough to remember watching him and Gene Siskel on TV, on an episode of AT THE MOVIES, when they reviewed ROBOCOP 2 and they got SO mad that they literally wanted to string up and hang Frank Miller... or even see him banned from Hollywood outright... for having made a young, underage boy one of the core villains in that movie, not to mention they went ballistic over the fact that Miller showed the kid firing a machine gun and killing people. So I'll be curious to see if Ebert remains the same and says "WTF?! Who the hell thought this was a good idea?" OR if he will have mellowed after all these years and will simply say "It's okay. I'm in on the joke, so I'll let this one slide."I also look at it this way. No offense to Harry and my fellow geeks here, but let's be honest -- far too often when AICN starts to bang the drum TOO much for an upcoming film, it often backfires and the movie actually turns out to suck and ultimately becomes a box office dud. So I can appreciate that KISS ASS did well at Butt Numb A Thon, but I also look at it this way. For years, geeks around here have savaged Cameron and TITANIC and openly bitched what a horrible movie they thought it was. So, with that in mind, I can imagine TITANIC debuting at Butt Numb A Thon and all the geeks racing to AICN talkbacks to say what a horrible movie it was... the irony of course being that it then went on to become the largest grossing movie in history and took home 12 Oscars.On the flip side, the more I see people here raving about KICK ASS and how uber cool it's (supposedly) going to be... and how geeks at Butt Numb A Thon or Comicon loved the teasers/trailers, and thus that is a barometer of how much it's going to be a hit... all I can think of is a movie like SNAKES ON A PLANE, where everyone was convinced that was going to be a box office smash, where geek word of mouth would propel on. And what happened there? It died on opening weekendSo, I guess we'll see. Frankly, since it didn't cost all that much to make, I can see geek viewership making it essentially profitable (and thus returning the core production costs). But at the same time, I can also envision that ONLY geeks run out to see this, and thus it never breaks out to the wider public (since the news organization will have ruined that pool). At which point the movie simply becomes yet another failed geek favorite to some, while also being something that never made enough coin to warrant making a sequel or pursuing the property any further.

Big Dumb Ape = LIKE READING DEVIN FARACI HIT-GIRL FAN FICTION...
by tehcreepythinman
"Hey, what would really be wrong with fucking her? She's thinking and acting LIKE an adult, so she must realize what's up. So if I could be alone with her and could get her to spread her legs, I bet she'd be down with it. Hell, since she's so adult thinking, I bet she'd WANT my cock in her. So screw her age -- it's totally okay to get a piece of her young ass." It's like you tapped into his mind.
-
Here are a couple of things that pop into my mind when reading this TB. I haven’t read the comics I can’t say for sure but it doesn’t look like their sexualizing Hit-Girl. Sure she’s swearing but I don’t think that will eternally corrupt that actress’ soul. Look at Natalie Portman. She WAS actually sexualized in Leon and she came out as a well adjusted adult, wouldn’t you agree. That was a lot worse. Of course some sick fucks will get off on it but then you might as well prohibit children from swimming in public pools.
Moreover, whoever said that 11-year olds are innocent by default? If you think that, a visit to the Brazilian favelas or an African country engaged in a civil war will probably change your mind. If you condition a child to be violent it will become violent. You may have a problem with that but what’s the difference with an action star killing tens of bad guys? A difference of a couple of years makes that okay all of a sudden? You’re entitled to your amount of moral outrage but I’ll save mine for things that are a little more important IMO.
-
I'm totally with you and others about the pedo wet dream undertone of Hit Girl that the studio completely missed while making this thing. I think your first post argues the case in a clear, logical way that's hard to dispute. I also think your second post accurately predicts why Hit Girl could backfire big time and take this movie down in a big media shit storm once it opens, no matter how much some sick geek fucks want to try and defend this shit.But that's ok, the rest of us who are emotionally adult are on to you twits. The truth is Hit Girl fans secretly want to go all fanboy and jerk off and cum on her costume while she twirls a gun and talks dirty to them. Why? Because they're geeks who need to get out of their parents basement and get a fucking life. Or at least get out and interact with real girls who aren't 11 years old.
-
"I give up on this site."
Ho-hum...one less whiny bitch to trip over on the way to some meaningful insight.
Like the tear stains on his pillow he desperately wishes mommy and daddy would notice (along with the regulation black emo haircut, the slashes on his arms, and, most desperate of all, the chronic bedwetting) he'll be little noted nor long remembered...LOL. -
"So, on the one hand, I realize it's a bit much to immediately label everyone a Pedo for possibly liking Hit Girl. However, that said, I still think the filmmakers DID sexualize an 11-year-old girl here in the cheapest of ways (sexy costume to make her look tawdry, swearing like an adult, over the top violence, etc)."
I think you're way off the mark. "Sexuality" isn't the point, and the "sexy costume" and purple wig mimic her clunky, homemade disguise from the comic. Bit of a reach to call it "sexy"...
As I said earlier, the character depicted in this clip is plainly the outcome of Big Daddy's unhinged approach to parenting, which is channeling his own demented need to play superhero dress-up into his own daughter. The result is the disquieting monstrosity known as "Hitgirl". If you find her objectionable in the extreme, that's entirely correct...it's because she's the product of horrifically misguided parenting, a real problem the film approaches through satire.
What I find bothersome is how this "consequence" of irresponsible "action" is taken out of context in this ad and presented as something cool...as if this disturbing little creature is something to emulate, and tacitly approved of by the film's makers, which I doubt... -
BSB, I agree with you this does not look like any overt attempt to sexualize an 11 year old beyond the mores of today's world. She is wearing a body suit that looks less form fitting than what the girls in Xmen movie wore. Yes, they did add a mini skirt flourish. So what? It shows nothing. Only someone trying very to imagine what is not actually there or displayed could take issue(or excitement) from this. If any of you are old enough to remember a very young Brooke Shields - she was the poster girl for being sexualized at a young age. The movie: Pretty Baby, being notorious then and possibly now. I think she was 10 or 11 when that was filmed. That was overt exploitation. The little beauty pageant girl who was killed about 20 years ago (damn my memory), she was just a baby, but was made up to look like an adult. that was exploitation. The problem is, that nowadays if you look at a girl on screen and if she is not wearing the most chaste outfit from the 1900s' - ankle length dress and leggings underneath with about four petticoats, then you run the risk of having some pervert start to salivate. And wise cracking, profanity spewing, little girls who seem wiser than their years, have been onscreen for a long time without men openly salivating about them and or thinking they must 'want it'. Yeah, I am sure some perverts did, but those types will imagine that of any girl in any setting. Tatum O'Neal won an Academy award at age 11 for paper moon playing that character. No, some people are projecting their own desires/fears onto this depiction. The one thing I do think we can all agree on, is that if this were the real world, and an adult allowed/enabled his young child - male or female, to act in such a manner, he should be strung up by his balls. But this is not the real world. It is an extreme comic book adaptation. Does it look any good? I was underwhelmed by the trailer. Looked like a gimmick. I predict it will bomb in U.S. but do big business in Asia where they have a long history of using young girls in truly skimpy outfits unleashing carnage.
-
And now I'm going to have to rewatch that movie. I haven't seen it since I first saw it in the theater on opening night. I remember being so pumped up for it because if was written by Frank Miller and then being soooooo let down by the movie.
Funny you should mention something written by Miller because as I said earlier in my assessment of the really crappy comic this is based on. The comic comes off as have been written by a really bad Frank Miller wannabe. I'm not a fan of Millar's work anyway, but Kick-Ass is absoulutely one of his worsts works that I've had the displeasure to read.
As someone else mentioned, you can "read" each issue in less than five minutes because there is actually very little to read. The plot is very thin and the story isn't told very well. They will have to pad this fucker out a LOT to get an hour and a half of stuff worth watching. -
I agree with most of what you said, but the part I particularly agree with here is about the AICN/comic con community banging the drum loudly for a movie like this because they think it's ubercool. Having been to some AICN screenings, and also film premieres that tended to be populated by the geek community at large...they tend to go nuts over things that are sometimes repulsive and lame, and it turns into this ugly group-think experiment. Vampire Girl versus Frankenstein Girl comes to mind, the god awful sequel to Tokyo Gore Police which was not only an awful film, but had some pretty offensive racist material in it...but by that time the geek community was convinced they should love everything by this director, and he could do anything and they would declare it was awesome. The Bill Murray cameo in Zombieland is another example. Also, I saw Grindhouse at an early screening, too, and the audience ate everything up. There's this commercial in the middle for a mexican restaurant, and it's just slides of photos from this restaurant (I've I'm remembering this correctly) and the audience was hooting and hollering with joy to prove that they were in on the joke, to be like "Oh, Quentin, I get it, hoo hoo hoo, you're hilarious, hee hee heee". Tarantino could have shown a 2 minute clip of someone taking a dump, and the audience would've eaten it up and declared it to be the greatest thing ever. Imagine being in a theater full of Neil Cumpstons, and you get what these collective geek experiences are like. Depending on who you are, that may or may not be considered a good thing.

Its the theme song from The Banana Splits Adventure Hour.
That's kinda, like, inspired. -
I go to bed for the day, come back and now the argument is that if you found this trailer entertaining it's because you want to fuck a 13 year old girl?Come_On, you should change your name to Come_On_My_Big_Fucking_Mouth. Because accusing people, people you don't KNOW no less, of being pedophiles is probably the most asinine thing you can do, besides making up a name that sounds like you like to have semen on you.I'll have you know I liked the trailer. I imagine you to be a portly lady, so, ma'am, let me say that it's not because there's a normie sized girl in it, nor because there's a lot of kickass action in it. I like it because I like the comics. I like the author of the comics, who's been nothing but a gentleman the last two times I've met him at comic shows. And I understand, it didn't have a ham-scent coming off of it, and had lots of moving visuals that you'd have to use your eyeballs to follow, and I KNOW how that tires you out, but if you sat back with your tub of corn and watched it again, maybe a 13 year old girl saying 'cunt' would hit your funny bone. Or, we could hope the sand in your clam becomes cultured pearls you could sell for an elliptical machine.See? Insulting people you don't even know the genders of? Fucking asinine.

...I won't help but think of Darby saying "fuckin' with ya" and "cunts" and shooting people in the face.

This is your quote:
"Hey, what would really be wrong with fucking her? She's thinking and acting LIKE an adult, so she must realize what's up. So if I could be alone with her and could get her to spread her legs, I bet she'd be down with it. Hell, since she's so adult thinking, I bet she'd WANT my cock in her. So screw her age -- it's totally okay to get a piece of her young ass."
I realize this is supposed to be your concept of what a hypothetical pedophile might think, but I still feel it says more about you than those of us who like the trailer/clip. You really got into the mindset of a pedo and it almost seems like you enjoyed writing that, as if it came naturally. Interesting how nothing like that came to my mind when I watched it, yet I'm the pedo because I think the movie looks pretty cool.
I hope you all got this worked up over Lolita, or Taxi Driver, or Pretty Baby, Blue Lagoon, Lord of the Flies, hell what about Little Orphan Annie? Pedophiles probably get off on all that shit too. The worst pedo movie I saw was Raghead, where Aaron Eckhart fingerfucks a 13-year-old virgin until she bleeds. I turned it off when I realized it was basically glorified kiddie porn, with a legal-age actress who really looks 13. That's more disgusting and disturbing than anything I've seen from Kick Ass yet. -
She's even younger, and that makes it even wronger.
-
You know... South Park. Heh....
-
I just don't want America to go the way of Japan. Ninja Warrior? That's beyond cool. Fetishizing young girls. That don't sit well with me.
-
The hit girl / media shit storm would only help this movie. i have no idea what the fuck this movie is about only that its a comic based movie. As this movie is fairly unknown to the point where even i don't know what its about any media would be sure to help.
-
Long time no see, and Happy Holidays to you too.
I couldn't say what you said any better. You went to the heart of the problem with this movie. I too, lament the loss of innocence in this country.
It's not about being puritanical or prudish, it's about protecting children. When did that become wrong? In an age where you can portray ANYTHING on video, it's ever more frightening what gets put out there.
I frankly care little when adults engage in shock genres. But this is a kid we're talking about. A flesh and blood little girl. I draw the line at that. -
Are you for real, or just trolling? If you see anything remotely sexual about Hit Girl in that clip, you're the one with the problem. It's kind of like a Rorschach test, as someone else mentioned. You see what you want to see, really. Now, if she were made up like Silk Spectre and the camera kept zooming in on her body or something, I'd give you the benefit of the doubt here. If it's the costume or wig that's giving you dirty thoughts, I hope you stay locked up on Halloween. If it's the cussing, I guess you were the nerdiest 11-year-old ever or it's been so long since you were a kid, you've forgotten that they can be vulgar little shits. Don't walk by a schoolyard or take public transportation, whatever you do. Wouldn't want your little bubble burst now, would we?
-
I now imagine all of BSB's posts in the shrill voice of a wailing old lady. That's really going to be disturbing when I read his (her?) posts lusting over Ryan Reynolds' cock in the Green Lantern talkback.
-
Did you ever think about that?! HUH, DIDYA?!? YOU SICK FUCKS!
-
I'm sorry you were raised to have no respect for children. Now we know why you have no standards. Do us a favor - if you ever have children of your own keep them away from the general population. Isolate and eradicate the virus, so to speak, so the whole body doesn't get infected. Much obliged.

... I honestly still fail to see what you guys are still freaked out about. You've heard of acting, right? You know this is pretend, right? You must REALLY hate the Bad News Bears, or any other movies with funny foul-mouthed kids. This is just a more absurdist extreme version of those kinds of characters. A tiny badass kid spouting Dirty Harry-esque one-liners followed by the cartoonishly excessive killing of full-grown criminals just seems like good silly entertainment to me. It's kinda like when Yoda finally got around to opening up a can-O-whoopass and became a pint-sized ball of fury. It was funny and awesome at the same time. Nothing sexual about it. So if (when) any of you Pedo Police ever see this movie (I mean, you kind of HAVE to.. you know, it's your solemn duty to make sure that the rest of moral society can be shielded from all of this provocative heathen smut! *nudge* *wink*) I'm afraid you might be vastly disappointed with the lack of Lolita-like innuendo... or.. you may not be if you think that what you've seen so far is arousing in some sick sort of way.

Here's the real reason why BSB and others are crying "pedo"
by zombieheathledger
I know I'm a little late to the party here but... I think it's the shot of her in pigtails and the schoolgirl outfit. Alicia Silverstoe in Aerosmith's "Crazy" video, the schoolgirl in Aerosmith's "Ragdoll" video (what is it with those guys?), Britney Spears in "Hit Me Baby One More Time" video (Oh, I'll hit it more than one time, Brit), Austin Powers Japanese schoolgirl twins (Fook-you, Fook-me) not too mention countless schoolgirl porn vids and Japanese manga have all taken this look and hyper-sexualized it. We, as red-blooded heterosexual men have been trained to see sex appeal when we see a a pretty-faced girl in this outfit. In this day and age when older girls wear "Hello Kitty" and younger girls wear bare-midriff shirts the line has become increasingly blurred and we poor guys are left confused. As for her other outfit, well, Natalie Portman wore a similar, more pinkish wig as a stripper in CLOSER so that might be where that is coming from and yeah, tight black leather outfits and girls with potty mouths generally associated with sex as well. I don't think anyone who saw this clip and thought 'pedo,' one way or the other is to blame. Hollywood may play dumb but they're not dumb, they know how to create controversy, titilate and push buttons and all of the above were obviously intended with this. So I think we need to cut each other a little slack before we go yelling, "I'm not a pedo you're the pedo for calling me a pedo!" argument. It ain't us dudes, it's society and the media.
-
It's been long accepted that guns are phallic symbols in movies as well. These creators/producers knew full well the envelope they were pushing putting a twelve year old girl in this appearance holding a gun. We're all adults here we can admit this, right?
-
bravvo.
-
...no one made even one tiny impaling joke.
-
No jokes or hyberbole here, just some reality. I am the father of 2 children, I am also sadly the brother of a girl who was molested repeatedely when she was 5 years old. I am incredibly sensitive to child related issues, especially molestation because of what our family went through with my sister.
So with that out of the way, while the movie and the idea for the movie is certainly exploitative in nature, it is not exploitative in reality. And you know why? BECAUSE IT'S NOT FUCKING REAL!
I'm not going to let my chidlren watch this movie because it is innappropriate for their age, but how does me watching it damage myself or society? How does me watching it reflect a lack of respect for children? Am I going to suddenly begin crimefighting training with my children because a movie told me to? Am I myself going to run out into the streets slaughtering mobsters because a movie told me to?
Get a fucking grip, it's a movie, not reality you pretentious asshole. -
I realize that yes it has become a common sexy outfit for girls to wear. Go to DragonCon, pick up a rock and throw it in any random direction and you're bound to hit either a Stormtrooper or a sexy schoolgirl, AND SO WHAT!
That doesn't mitigate the fact that actual schoolgirls still wear that outfit to Catholic school today. The doorman in the clip doesn't say "Hey boss it's that underage prostitute you ordered.", no he says "It's a little kid." Just because adults choose to sexualize this outfit, hell I like it too, doesn't make it automatically sexual. She's a little girl and mature, non-pedo adults like myself have no trouble separating her at all from an adult women wearing a similar outfit.
And this also applies to her supersuit, although I am certain that we will see sexy versions of it running around the convention circuit this year. Without a doubt I'd bang a 25yo hot chick dressed as Hit-Girl, but I have zero interest in Hit-Girl herself. -
Very wise words sir.
Hairy Nutsack and Captain Axis on the other hand, are you incapable of participating in this, admitedly heated debate, without resulting to verbal abuse?
It just makes you look stupid. -
"Without a doubt I'd bang a 25yo hot chick dressed as Hit-Girl, but I have zero interest in Hit-Girl herself."
Oh dear. -
I will continue to spew out verbal abuse as long as people continue to insult me with bullshit like pedophilia and lack of respect for children, which I feel is far more abusive than anything I've said.
Love it, hate it, or meh it, this is just a goddam movie and your view of said film does not reflect some lack of morality nor a heightened sense of moral superiority. -
Yeah, I hear ya, sister. I sure am frothing about this flick. Or, like I said above, it's fucking retarded to accuse people you don't know of shit you couldn't possibly know based on liking a trailer... Also, if you complain about violent content or children performing violence, find people who thought Bully was shit because it portrayed kids and violence...Here's a list, you dumbfuck hypocrites of kids performing violent acts in movies.Karate Kid -- You know, this list should be one fucking movie long. It has KARATE and KID in the fucking title.Bully - They fuck that kid up.Bugsy Malone both sexualizes kids and has kids with guns. And singing.My Bodyguard -- Kickass Jane from Serenity kicking ass for Chris Makepeace on Matt Dillon's dumbfuck ass. Until bald guy comes then there's a real fucking fight.There's been violence in kids movies for a real long time. So fuck you and your worried fucking bad parent bullshit, because you're raising a bunch of bullshit hippie kids who are going to fuck everything else up for everyone.Battle Royale. That's another flick that's both awesome and has kids in it.Also, didn't hear the fucking people with the sticks up their asses bitching about that chick from Kill Bill, the crazy one with the sword.Oh, and Red Dawn. Bunch of kids fighting Russians. Classic.

I didn't say you didn't have respect for children. That was directed at Axis over there. You may be wrong about Michael Jackson, but at least you were driven by a genuine concern for kids.
I'm sincerely empathetic to your sister. And you being a protective bro is most admirable. I hope she has recovered well and no doubt with your love and support.
Look. Enjoy the movie. But I just want to ask you this - if you won't let your daughters watch Kick Ass because "it is innappropriate for their age" and "the movie and the idea for the movie is certainly exploitative in nature", why is it okay to watch someone else's daughter IN this movie? -
...I wouldn't let my kid watch THE EXORCIST, but I always assumed the shooting of a movie doesn't have to be anything like the eventual tone of the movie....playing around spewing pea soup could feel like a day at Vacation Bible School if managed correctly.My assumption and hope would be that any given day making this movie felt a lot like a cross between gymnastics class and Halloween...but with more goofing around.The dirty words are a separate problem, but kids swear in movies all the time without generating this type of heat.Maybe I'm simple, but in the past I've always assumed that responsible adults are present making sure everyone's having a fun and age appropriate time...
-
FELIZ NA'VI DAD !
-
But to those saying it's not real. Well the actress is real who had to say the lines, and do the moves, and hold guns and swords and point them at guys. She was still introduced to these thoughts and ideas, even if it was just script reading and rehearsals.
-
Dammit, now I gotta be all cuddly and nice to you. Thanks though, I'll happily stop AICN ranting now...unless ThinMan starts up his bullshit again.
Anyway, to answer your question. Exploitation can mean a lot of things in different contexts, and maybe that was the wrong word to use in this case. I don't see how this girl is being exploited, I really don't. She is not being taken advantage of any more than any other child actor in anything else, she is not being forced to do anything that is actually harmful to anyone, and she is certainly not being sexually objectified no matter how hard anyone here tries to portray this as such.
I don't consider myself a prude in any way, but I do have an automatic kneejerk reaction to anything sexual relating to children, mostly because of my sister I'm sure. So if they showed her seducing some pedophile mobster so she could kill him, well I'd have a real problem with that. Now at the same time I find the Pedobear pictures floating all over the internet hilarious. So somewhere my mind definitely draws a line through what is right and wrong here, although I find it difficult to define that line exactly. Rule 34 aside, I see nothing sexual in this at all, implied or otherwise.
And let me add that one of my kids is an actor, not terribly successful mind you, but he has been in several commercials and had a few bit parts on the Disney Channel. The protections for these kids on set is staggering. The teachers on set aren't there just to teach, they are there to also enforce the labor laws as agents of the state. I've personally seen a teacher go apeshit when the production time ran over, threatening to call the cops even. Child welfare is taken quite seriously, and the producers fear the wrath of these teachers. On one set the producer slipped me some cash so that I wouldn't report them, and that was on a 5 minute overrun, I shit you not! 5 minutes and they were worried about legal repercussions!
Obviously my perspective is a little different having been on set, but I really cannot understand these objections and cannot see how Hit-Girl is being exploited for anything other than the exciting, fun character that she is that will land butts in theaters. -

Can't really bring myself to argue with a "hairy nutsack"
by zombieheathledger
And STLost, good point.
-
Those are fair points. Surely, as you said, your role as a show biz dad helps you view entertainment from a more mature perspective. I just don't think that applies to a great deal others who are this movie's target shock-loving audience. I'm still disturbed by the imagery - and firmly believe it shouldn't have been made in the first place - but at least it's good to know Moretz is not in danger of being the next Dana Plato.
-
Battle Royale is a exploitation film par excellence, and exactly the kind of gruesome over the top kids mauling and slaughtering each other film that deserves to be rubbed in the public's face... Because it was made by a man who lived through a war and occupation and organized crime and who had something to fucking say about life, something vital and important and desperate. It made dark humorous fun of its violence while at the same time utterly horrifying you with it; toying with your gut instinct and ironic distance as a film viewer. Kick-ass is nothing but the Doritos and microwaved White Castle fuelled pipe dreams of a sad fuck like Devin Faraci. A bunch of horseshit gymnastics combined with weapons to make something utterly implausible look cool just to make it cool.
-
Plato and Coleman are exactly why these protections are now in place. My favorite protection, that neither Coleman nor Plato enjoyed, is that 15% of the child's money goes into a trust fund that can never be touched by the parents. The trust funds are named after Jackie Coogan who was also raped by his parents like Coleman and Plato.
None of this is to say that monsters like Linday Lohan aren't still created, but from what I've seen that seems more to do with her evil parents than Hollywood. And I've met more than a few diabolical parents like them. Fucking people driving 8 hours or more round trip so their kid can go to an audition, talk about exploitation! -
UUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
So, I take it you didn't sit through all of Kick Ass at BNAT.
(and I agree with you 100% about Battle Royale) -
I don't respect children because I'm realistic about them? I like kids, but they are not these idealized, perfectly innocent angels you think they are. Children fight and swear and act like fucking maniacs. I'm starting to think you're some shut-in who hasn't been out in the real world for 20 years.
jackalcack: So I'm supposed to be polite and respectful after it's inferred that anyone who likes the trailer/clip is a pedophile? I don't suffer stupidity lightly, and the comments in this talkback from the holier-than-thou morality police are a prime example of stupidity. MOVIES. ARE. NOT. REAL. I don't care if some pedo gets off on Hit Girl, because there's nothing I can do about it. Should we ban every film or TV show that depicts children? Because that's what it'll take to stop it. They don't care if the child is dressed provocatively or not, and in many cases they prefer children who act like children, not children who act like Hit Girl. Calm the fuck down and stop being a pretentious cunt. (Uh oh, I said "cunt" - I hope you don't start having sexual fantasies about me!) -
what did she ever do? I mean fuck, her family is beyond fucked up. But everyone I know - and I don't follow this shit closely if at all - seems to be braying for her immolation, ASAP. Did she do some fucked up sex tape? Did she tell her boyfriend she wanted to watch Predator with dubious cadence? Did she run over a pedestrian? Did she fuck a child? I mean I know I know who killed me sucked, but what exactly did Lohan do that was immoral and awful and wrong that has turned the world against her? Apart from sleeping with Jared Leto. But seriously, what was the specific Lohan thing that earned her infamy?
-
we said her outfit, poses, iconography, and putting way way dirty talk in her mouth, giving her outsize fetishized phallic instruments of death, and her bullshit phony ironic adult attitude reeked of seriously misguided principles was disturbing is all.
by the way i never went to BNAT. i haven't seen kick ass. I don't wanna. -

-
Anyone see..Different Strokes: The Story of Jack and Jill and Jill?

by flickapoo
...youth, beauty, talent, the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business...and just seemed to throw it all away with both hands and the dedication of an obsessive compulsive coke-head.I think that's what pisses people off about her...doesn't make it right though. Her family is beyond fucked up, and surviving child and teen stardom is like surviving Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel...it happens, but don't count on it.
-
I got the impression you had already seen it.
-
i mean shit, wasn't it said her mom does drugs with her and her dad is obviously a class a fuckup. if anything, the cautionary tale about linsday lohan should be about shameful parenting and how it can send a lovable successful child into a tailspin. and yet... BURRRRNNN HER!!!
-
...but do people really hate her so much? I don't really keep track. I thought that last magazine fashion/nudie shoot she did was surprisingly fucking hot. Maybe she'll eventually achieve a Kate Moss type indestructible undead beauty...

...at this point...and ducks float, so...

-
I'm very calm mate, you're the one with your knickers in a twist, ranting incoherently.
I have a question for you though. Your observation about what paedophiles prefer...
"...They don't care if the child is dressed provocatively or not, and in many cases they prefer children who act like children, not children who act like Hit Girl"
How do you know this exactly?
-
... 'cuntcake' would not do, at all. Because if she said 'cake' it would imply that she liked sweets... and we all know that only vulnerable little children enjoy sweets. Therefore, by extension, it would obviously be a line specifically designed by the filmmakers to make her appear even more childlike, further serving their diabolical scheme to titillate all of us 'pedophiles' who think she's a funny character. See how that works?
-
Not for me. Looks like Cokey got ahold of some more financin'.

When was it decided that children in action movies were cool?
by chakraborty
I always thought they were lame. Did I miss a memo? So if Robert Rodriguez makes another Spy Kids sequel and adds a lot of profanity and violence, will those of you jizzing over this film do the same for that one? One of the problems with that trailer and the notion of an 11 year old assassin is that it's a gimmick. If you had the exact same trailer but with Angelina Jolie or Antonio Banderas as the assassin, I think we could all agree that the CGI and wire acrobats are pretty tired and lame, and watching a spoiled Hollywood actor with no fighting ability whatsoever pose as a hardcore killer is not exciting or interesting. So either the gimmick of the 11 year old killer works for you, or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, there's a chance the movie won't, either. Nic Cage's character looks interesting...but children in action movies don't interest me...and it eliminates a lot of the suspense and unpredictability because rarely do kids children ever die in action films, so centering an action film around them is tedious to watch...IMHO.

You know, sadly, Lohan's father isn't any different from many parents today. From what I see everywhere, there's little to no responsible child-rearing, no protection, no guidance. Kids are made adults too quickly without the proper foundations.
You know right from wrong, so of course you impart wisdom upon your kids. Lohan can't even keep out of jail for long stretches. It's no wonder Lindsay is so fucked up. -
JODIE FOSTER going for ROBERT DENIRO'S dick in TAXI DRIVER is OK, but this is horrible? what about BROOKE SHIELDS in PRETTY BABY naked (mostly)? this is somehow worse? fuck on off. go join a support group for chronic muckrakers
-
are you seriously comparing Taxi Driver to Kick Ass you fucking dipshit? God you are fucking pathetic. Thank god this piece of shit will bomb.
-
It's pretty thin on substance. If the character is supposed to be 12, they should have made her slightly older for the movie... I ain't buyin it. I lose the who suspension of disbelief thing. The other people we see profiled in the previous trailer were slightly more believable in a sort of "mystery men" sort of way... but still is that what this is supposed to be? "teen mystery men"?
blech. -
what rock did you crawl out from under? the stupid rock? reactionary shithook - proved my point and don't even know it
-
Most of the other movie and genre sites I've looked at are lovin' it. With the exception of CHUD maybe.. and that's only because Devin gave it a 10/10. It's not gonna make blockbuster money of course, but it'll do just fine.
-
I was actually 11 when I watched it, coincidentally, and I had set my wristwatch alarm to wake up in the middle of the night, sneak downstairs, and watch the movie on our payTV channel because the monthly movie guide said the movie contained nudity. After doing so, I discovered that the nudity was by a 12 year old Brooke Shields, and I was pissed off. She had no tits!!! I had school the next day, and I spoiled a good night's sleep for that?! I wanted to see a nice set of bazoongas. Pretty Baby was just wrong.
-
Didn't Susan Sarandon pop a tit out for Pretty Baby? Don't know, watched an edited version a long time ago and it sucked. Don't get the love for it, even though I guess it was shocking in it's time. Wahtevs, this looks cool even though it also looks kinda dumb, despite supposedly trying to go for "realism". Just like the comic. Also, nice use of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" line in the first post. Bet a lot of people didn't get it.
-
Haha, yeah, I'm betting a lot of people didn't get the Curb Your Enthusiasm reference, too...and I was thinking that comment may have sparked the whole pedo debate because everyone who clicked on this talkback were immediately thinking about her pussy, LOL.
-
Me too!!!
OK, I'm outta here, this talkback is dead.
Merry Christmas y'all! Even you Axis. -
Well, I'll say this, drturing, I get where you're coming from, but I'd also say that the point of the character is part of the 'joke' of the comic-as-reality motif of the comic. Someone asked where the 11 year olds were in Bugsy Malone...the black kid, under 11, Fat Tony is over 11, and he executes people in that flick with a gloop gun.But two things here, one, you can talk about the quality of the flick if you want, but I don't think it's exploitive of anything but violence. Also, two words: The Professional. The reason most basement dwelling Cheeto dusted fuckwits have a boner for Natalie Portman is that flick, and her passes she made at French Assassin.So, when you guys list all the movies where young ladies act older and sexualized (Talulah in Bugsy Malone is the perfect example of that), and then demand that they not be made post-mortem, I'll be happy to say that yeah, it's totally wrong. Bring on Spongebob, or that fucking Julie and Julia flick, that way no one has a boner ever again.Or, we can just say that if you saw that trailer and said 'Wow, that 11 year old is HOT' you're clearly insane. And if you didn't like it, that's also fine.
-
You suffered from the inside joke syndrome that most people didn't get into with that flick. If you never got to go to a Grindhouse in real life, you're lucky. They sucked ballsack through a straw. The reason people laughed at the slideshow wasn't the food, though it was the name of the restaurant. Acuna Boys, which was the name of the brutal pimps who carved up hookers in Mexico. I believe the tagline for the restaurant was 'A Family Restaurant' or something else innocuous. Yeah, it's a bit of a pull, but if you're a retardiculous Tarantino fan, you immediately got it, and probably guffawed and hee-heed about it.I can appreciate the divulgent opinions of folks who don't like movies I do, or even see potential in flicks I think I have a pretty good read on (Avatar is one of those). Just thought I'd point that Grindhouse joke out for you, the way it was pointed out for me when a friend of mine told me that's what it was. I didn't laugh when I saw it either, other than remembering the local ads we had at our Drive-Ins back in the day.I would pay to see 'Don't' in theaters.
-
I would pay to see Don't in theaters 10 times! That's the best movie never made... but I'm silly crazy about Amicus, Tigon, and Hammer stuff. It sucks that Grindhouse wasn't well received.
-
Ah, innocence.
-
I never said she was hot at all. Seems to be something you're thinking. I said it was fucked up to treat a child that way. To graft an adult fantasy onto them.
-
i never said the word pedo at all. i said this was kiddie porn - violence porn. that's real important to distinguish. violence that stupid and brainless is essentially pornography, and there's a child in it. so there you go. also, they took a kid, and dressed them up in adult fantasy gear. so yeah, it's porn with kids in it. kiddie porn.

books of photographs of naked teen and preteen kids taken at a nudist colony (no, i'm not going to say whose work it is, or where you can find it. sorry!). and you fuck-ups are worried about a movie? seriously, if this is such an issue for you, shouldn't you be somewhere else, doing something constructive? alternatively, couldn't you just fuck off? i've seen girls at the mall, with their mom's, dressed like hookers. this is no big deal
-

So that's how you imagine me, huh? Black emo haircut, slashed arms, and pillows soaked with tears. Can you also imagine me soaking your mom's hair with my jizz while she softly strokes my emo hair and grabs my slashed arms while she busts a nut? Picture that for a minute.. just picture it. Are getting angry? Are you? Hearing your mom in ecstasy, while I tell her to shut the fuck up because you might hear us from your basement? Doesn't that just make you excited?
-
Just read some of the past posts after typing this last one. You are all some sick motherfuckers! What the fuck is going on here? You lonely bastards have some sort of sexual thing about Hit Girl, obviously. Wouldn't be surprised if the police had to notify the neighbors when you moved into a new area. Or if it was illegal for you to be within 200 feet of a Chucky Cheese. And I think I saw BurnHollywod on an episode of To Catch a Predator. Ell Oh Ell, Douchelords!!!
