So MIRROR, MIRROR just went from absolutely unwatchable to being the most glorious trainwreck that I've got to see with Jeff!
Hey folks, Harry here... Tarsem Singh's MIRROR MIRROR looks like the most astonishing "WHAT THE FUCK HOLLYWOOD" film of the modern age. It's like a film, that's only purpose is to get you to giggle and drop your jaw with a sensation of WTF. When the Dwarves have elongated accordian legs and shrink down to their normal adorable selves... It's like. I don't know what it is like, but it isn't like anything else. There's an odd TIME BANDITS feel... but at the same time, I have no idea what to expect from the film. It is a comedy, so you are meant to LAUGH at this. But I just don't know what to expect from a Tarsem Singh comedy based upon SNOW WHITE that turns Nathan Lane into a cockroach and makes Armie Hammer want to chase sticks.
I'm actually ready to witness this, how about you? This is MIRROR MIRROR's International Trailer!

I'd rather fuck a tree.
-
Yes, in a Time Bandits kind of way. I won't hate it yet.
-
...but that might be intentional. Gonna have to wait for reviews.
-
Except it looks terrible.
-
I liked The Cell but this looks pretty bad...maybe it is a movie for kids and not meant to appeal to adults but just looks unwatchable
-
But that's like saying a spanner isn't as bad as diarrhea.
-
Tarsem Singh is turning into quite the acquired taste
-
Does anybody else lose the will to live at the merest sight of Julia fucking Roberts' big gormless mush?
-
Not nearly as bad and would add that some of the humor in this trailer reminds me of Bettlejuice
-
Dont know studio/writer/dir whatever, however, I do know it is a steaming turd. This had better be for 8-12 year old market.
-
or whatever it's called with shorty.
-
I'm starting to think so.

is the forest supposed to look like a 30x40 foot soundstage?
by zom-bot.com
because it does...this is the smallest-scale Tarsem I've ever seen. and I blame the marketing and trailer editors for the chop-socky-cut trailer with cartoon noises....i doubt a lick of that sound is in the movie.
-
And See It With Jeff! (tm)
-
cute girl, but gosh....
-
I think the trailer gave me pink eye...
-
i have no idea who this is aimed at. maybe 11 year old girls will like it. it could be the next princess bride for the little girls that still have innocence these days.. we need another labyrinth, though.

Love the focus-grouped ethnically diverse dwarves the most!
by riskebiz
...don't know what they are thinking with this movie. They ought to be marketing this as a b-movie.

i think the dwarves look to be the best part of the movie.

and i think he did watch time bandits right before shooting them.

I saw the domestic trailer in theaters and it physically hurt me.
by The Reluctant Austinite
It performed two and a half minutes of painful torture on me. This was a kind of horrible pain I had never felt before and left me feeling sick at my stomach for hours. I'm not sure how many "gags" were in the trailer, but I know the audiences laughed ZERO times. There were a couple of heartfelt groans. This trailer is much better, and has 80% less Julia Roberts in it. That's about all I can say. The damage of the first trailer is irreversible.

This movie looks soooo 1981, when a revisionist comedic version of a fairy tale
by openthepodbaydoorshal
was thought of as hi-larious. And for such a visual artist as Tarsem, why do a lot of scenes look drab?

Tarsem becoming the next Shyamalan...early promise, hints of greatness, ultimately fails...

The Enchanted trailers were terrible and that movie turned out great, BUT...
by Mel
I dont think theres any hope for this piece of shit.
-
What else did you expect?!!!!
-
was thinking maybe if they collaborated, the two negatives would make a positive. if you ask me, anyone that uses his first name (Trasem) alone in the directing credits is bound to fall from a pedestal at some point. same for one that goes by a first initial.(M.Night) you'd never see a Spielberg movie that says directed by STEVEN

At least they cast an appropriate old hag to play the queen.
by Royston Lodge
Julia Roberts is enough of a hag to play the queen. Charlize Theron is way too smokin' hot for the role.

Anything has to be Better than the Kristen Stewart version of this
by optimous_douche
-
i mean really, who gives a shit. this isn't going to destroy the world, or fuck up your life. maybe it'll be a great classic trainwreck, like said. nothing more, nothing less, for us. but maybe a career injury for Tarsem, i guess.
-
Remember the trailer, that just recycled every shot from every other, generic fantasy movie of the last 10 years, from Eragon to Alice In Wonderland? They even had a hilarious shot where Chris Hemsworth wields his axe like Thor, so that audiences remember where they know him from! At least MIRROR seems to be creative and is purposely silly.
-
I haven't heard this specific reference before, but if it's like other such "names" I've heard, it's not a 'who', it's a 'what'.
-
with Rob Reiner's NORTH
-
...again, only if you *promise* NOT to mess with the upcoming Teen Wolf screening in Santa Monica.
-
harry put it right out there. come on, wake up guys! :)
-
it's usually a disaster. In western comedy, we more or less require that the comedy stays consistent within the confines of the established character. For instance, if we're watching The Office, we require that Dwight Shrute's comedy stems from him being a weirdo, and Jim's comedy stems from him being a smartass, and Michael's comedy stems from his awkwardness and total lack of self awareness. If Dwight or Angela suddenly started acting outrageous and wacky, we would not react favorably to that. Whereas in Eastern comedy, every character tends to act inexplicably, and unrealistically zany. I saw a lot of that in this trailer, and it tells me this is going to be a train wreck. The evil witch is wacky and zany, the prince is wacky and zany, snow white is wacky and zany, the dwarves are wacky and zany.
-
Those eyebrows?
-
...but this looks REALLY bad. Doesn't even look like one of his movies, and what on earth compelled him to try comedy? I don't understand what is so hard about getting this shit right. I mean making movies is what these fucking people DO, why are they so motherfucking BAD at it?
-
But nobody understood why Enchanted was actually decent. It reaks of trying too hard

name one subtle boolywood comedy- it's true- all the characters are wacky
by zom-bot.com
-
... and I thought I had overwhelming eyebrows. Anyway... I would send my nephews and nieces to this. Looks like a nice little safe family comedy... and that's about it. At least is looks better than the original teaser we all saw.
-
To white-knight a movie like this.

This doesn't look nearly as unwatchable as Harry makes it out to be.
by BlaGyver
1. It looks like a somewhat-tolerable kids movie that I wouldn't like to sit through, but wouldn't fight tooth-and-nail to avoid like something like The (motherfucking) Squeakwel. 2. Let's not forget that this is fucking Harry saying it's the worst thing he's ever seen. So it can't be all that bad.
-
but that makes it miles better than what's coming down the pike this summer with Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart. So by that logic, I will agree to take my kids to see this one but not the other. At least it looks like "Mirror Mirror" will have some random silliness that may hit the mark.
-
'The Happening'.

It's like someone shit on the floor then pissed on the shit, packaged it and called it a 'rollocking fun family movie' welcome to modern cinema.
by cameron
So utterly bad it is beyond belief that it even masde it to a storyboard.
-
Blasphemer.
-
Time Bandits. Really? Susan Surandon gets a pass. Not Julia Roberts. "Agree to disagree." Ooooookay.
-
that I can guarantee I will never see it. Forget everything else. It's got Julia Roberts. So.....
-
this looks like absolute shit!
-
as long as there isnt an intestinal twirler thing part in it. it looks very my little princess vibe. also was expecting more visually from singh.
-
what's wrong with that?
-
Haven't seen him in much lately.
-
I hear that on the set of this movie she would freak out if the crew even just looked at her when the cameras weren't rolling. Sorry, bitch, it's a free country. My eyes can go wherever they want. Not that there's much to see in your direction, anyway.
-
Seriously. I bet it was maybe $1,500 for harry to post the trailer and pretend like he was excited.

It looks better than zombies and vampires and superheroes in spandex
by Rtobert
-
That dude can't be a leading main. Simple and done. That girl can't be a lead actress and Julia Roberts as the evil queen is a fucking joke. The tone is completely off and not in a good way. This will bomb 100%
-
Snow way!!!!!
-
And let him loose on a balls to the wall insane film adaptation of Contra or Metroid.
-
Cheap effects, cloying humor and cheeseball acting. Oh, and thanks a lot Julia Roberts for making prostitution look fun and harmless in Pretty Woman. Bet you wouldn't think that if it was some fat sweaty Greek guy instead of Richard Gere trying to shove his semi-flaccid dick in your ass while you pretend you love it for $50. "You like, baby...YOU LIKE?"
-
I was thinking the same thing. It has to be the same guy (Ron) from Pit Boss. I only saw a few episodes but in one of them he was going to an acting class. So since it looks just like him I am guessing thats to many coincidences for it not to be. If anyone else has watched Pit Boss on Animal Planet take a look at the asian dwarf in the trailer and see if you think its Ron from the show.

In the third sentence, why is there a comma after "It's like a film"?

I think we just didn't realize it was going for 80s fantasy comedy tone, so our initial distaste was a result of misunderstanding.
by Demosthenes2
It could still be awful, but you never know. Tarsem's The Fall was a wonderful overlooked film.
-
Jesus, hard to believe that THIS Snow White movie is the one by Tarsem, when Snow White & The Hunter looks so much more stylish and adult.
-
Which is dreadful, bland, and pretty much gets low marks every time I see it.
-
on ABC's ONCE UPON a TIME. Why would you pay for this one?

When I first heard there was going to be movie called "Mirror Mirror"...
by Hil
...I had a fleeting moment of hope that someone adapted the novel by Gregory Maguire into a smart movie - getting into some evil Borgia machinations, mythology, and a not-entirely-Hollywood ending. I'm pretty let down by both current movie iterations of Snow White. One just wants to cash in on the Kristen Stewart/Chris Hemsworth money cow, the other is merely giving Julia Roberts something to do because she's bored. Can't believe this is the same guy that gave us The Fall. I call shenanigans!

Lord, spare me from ghastly 21st century kids expecting girls to look like mannequins.

Devil's advocate: The Fall was Tarsem's pet project,
by Bedknobs and Boomsticks
he had a hand in the script, paid for the movie out of his pocket. This he was hired to direct, like the recent Immortals, and I'm fairly certain he wrote neither film. This may look stage-y, but it appears to be inspired by the art of Aubrey Beardsley crossed with Edmund Dulac, so "stage-y" would be appropriate.
-
male equivalent of the girl-whores they keep hiring. eye candy for the girls and gays.
-
, but Ms Emo, Thor and sexy Charlize have my money.
-
Left Eyebrow and Right Eyebrow. Phil's spawn is normally a pretty girl, but why did they feel the need to exaggerate her already prominent eyebrows for the movie?
-
Jesse is going to be pissed to see she's still alive.
-
with some fava beans..
