Want to check out 9 minutes of McG's THIS MEANS WAR with Bane, Kirk & Reese...
Hey folks, Harry here... I've been interested in THIS MEANS WAR, from the moment I first heard the cast, premise and director. I might have come down like a cannonball from the high diving board upon McG's TERMINATOR SALVATION, but the reality is... Usually, I really dig his shit. McG makes handsome fun fluffy films that have the capacity to be really entertaining popcorn kind of flicks. He fetishizes action, men, women, everything. Below is a 9 minute look, thanks to the French, from THIS MEANS WAR. It is basically a series of scenes cut together - but you get a really good idea for the sort of... SPY VS SPY rip that this thing is, but instead of it being about placing bombs, it's about winning the girl. And tormenting your best friend. I kind of love that.
Here ya go...

Zoe Saldana? Sure. Freida Pinto? Yeah. Reese? No.

i stopped reading there.

Is this finally an apology by Harry for being so disgustingly rude about TERMINATOR SALVATION???? (a pretty decent movie imho - and judging by the last Terminator thread on this site that's a view shared by many)
-
Stretching the fun out for a whole movie might be tough, but i enjoyed those 9 minutes..

Once McG Touches You Remain Tainted Until The Area He Touched DIES BY FIRE.

I hope it's not an apology; T:S was a disgustingly rude movie and Harry let it off easy!

Not that it would be bad.

Hope you got your limited edition 1/6 scale This Means War collectable action figures with attachable penises that fit into Reese's custom molded vagina. All we need is for you to post an article linking to the 9 minute French preview we sent you. Just say that you've been interested in the project since you heard the cast, premise, and director. Reference your dislike of McG's Terminator Salvation (again, sorry you didn't receive the cast/crew gift set of scale prop replicas...they must've got lost in the mail), but reinforce that you usually love his stuff. Pontificate on how great he is, but no need to make any ridiculously obvious Spy vs. Spy references. And of course, remember to fill it chock-a-block full of your usual seizure-inducing horrific grammar and near constant sentence fragments. Looking forward to seeing you at the screening we already have planned at the Drafthouse (we'll send you details on when to announce that you've been working hard to get the screening scheduled). We should have your life-sized Tom Hardy sex doll prototype in hand to deliver to you by then. Thanks again, T-Roth & McG

Awesome!
-
Which is OK with me. This is like the world's most perfect date movie. Fuck you guys who think McG sucks. Salvation was a good action flick. Not a great Terminator movie, but still a very decent action flick.

Where's my free Reese Witherspoon vagina?

For the longest time I thought this was called "Spy vs. Spy"
by Andrew Coleman
Had no idea MCG directed it either. I won't lie though I wasn't turned off by the trailer. I like both leads and Reese is fine I guess. Not sure if it's theater worthy but it's a movie I would check out sometime in the future. Personally I think MCG is suited for these types of movies and he can really shine here.
-
the quality aspects of the finished product vs. pimping known crap from this "McG". Music videos last a few minutes - that dude has been on borrowed time since he went full feature. And spy vs spy would be AWESOME if they took the whole black/white thing to a racial level.... Get Spike Lee-Mookie and Kramer to have a go at it maybe.
-
Where can I get one of those? There's never been any such thing
-
You just gave the perfect review for all of McG's shit-tastic films.

Isn't this basically an extension of the Jamie Lee Curtis surveillance bit from TRUE LIES?
by justmyluck
-
From the trailer, it looked like a dozen agents die or are seriously wounded for life in the crossfire from these two assholes. I'm not going all Clerks/Jedi here, but still, not too cool.

I blame the post-work gin...

Yeah Salvation sucked, but the first Charlies Angel's movie wasnt too bad. It's got a few moments - great supporting cast - Crispin Glover, Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry, and Bill Murray. The cig smoke going around Glover's head as leaves the party and gets into the elevator - The sumo scene - Murray in the jail cell - Rockwell's boogie - the end credits..
-
understand what Hardy is saying in this flick? Or will it be as bad as Harrys' grammar?
-
So anyway, it turns out she's an agent who's been sent in to seduce both of them. the end. God this shit gets easier every week.

When Do these guys realize shes a smut playing both of them

The premise of this movie is abhorant.

Terminators wearing doo rags/plucky dumb kid sidekick = cgi gophers = nuke the fridge = English guy working as a CIA operative = TurdQuake.

He DID say rehearsals were for fags, so it must be some steamy stuff...

I'd consider this if fucking Chelsea Handler wasn't in it
by sunwukong86
I can't stand her

the unholy trinity. Garmy strong.

I suppose it is one of those things that will always stick. Seriously though, how in the fuck did Mr. McG think that calling himself McG in the first place was a smart move for his directing career? Why, because it was some nickname or something he had in school? If so, that is as insane a notion as J.J. Abrams legally changing his name to Jar Jar Abrams. It is just as asinine as James Cameron going by the name JimC, or his dark alter ego Mij. It is just as bad as the idea of Ridley Scott pulling out his -sir- and calling himself SiRidley. David Fincher can be Finchy then folks. Spielberg might as well officially adopt his nickname of The Beard. Kubrick will from this point on be The Kube, while George Lucas shall be credited as Emperor Palpatine.

Two guys never fight over an older woman. Ever.

I had actually been thinking this looked like an ok date movie. McG and Fox, thank you! I wasted 9 minutes but saved 90! Hardy and Pine should be able to find better shit than this. I mean, really? You can't find an ACTUAL fun action movie with a female lead whose not a talentless hagraven?
-
Oh ok, I thought it might be...not scenes...that are...not cut together. Sorry, the statement is too stupid for me to really come up with a way to make fun of it.
-
So as I'm watching it, it appears to be the most disjointed movie of all time... and I'm kinda getting into the train wreck of it all. Now that I know it might actually be THIS bad I'm not interested.
-
Insert sarcastic comment here. Also insert sarcastic terminator comment here as well.
-
Talk about self indulgent..
-
Because this isn't cool news anymore.
-
As I've said countless times True Lies is THE best action rom-com ever. And for my money, it's still Cameron's best, most awesomely perfect film. You know a movie's great when every spy movie with a female co-star copies it. So far we got Mr. & Mrs. Smith, MI:III and now this. Any time you cast a woman in a spy movie it just becomes another True Lies, like all the Die Hard on a Bus, Die Hard on an Ocean liner copycats. True Lies, but this time, it's two spies fighting each other for the SAME WOMAN! It's a twist!!!
-
Than watch another Mcfuckup

I'll see anything with Tom Hardy. *DROOL*

The two guys should be thrown in prison for using tax government resourses for private interest
by MoaKaka
Seriously. End the movie with the two assholes fired and going to prison. Or dead. The end.
-
and thought we were due for another hi-larious comedy about CIA agents and their personal lives and figured if he bathed everything in blue light like Cameron does, he's got a winner. And how many crew members died from suicide during that one continuous shot of Reese Witherspoon dancing around to that 1990s hip hop song? They had to have shot that at least a dozen times to get it right. Someone must have killed him or herself at some point.

How can anyone resist that? This is so transparently contrived paint-by-numbers bullshit and anyone who pays to see it should be ashamed.
