Speaking of Raimi... Wanna see a flying monkey from OZ - THE GREAT & POWERFUL?
Hey folks, Harry here... The folks over at BLEEDINGCOOL apparently read PerezHilton - and then I got sent a link to this scary damn image. I've always had a basic, and I feel reasonable, fear of flying monkeys. The original nightmares are directly sourced to the original Margaret Hamilton FLYING MONKEYS. But seeing Raimi's... Yeah... fuck full size troglodites with batwings! We've seen Raimi with creepy shit, I bet anything these Flying Monkeys will leave brain scars. And I like my collection of Raimi Brain Scars. Of course - as far as these monkeys go, I see only one problem with their design off the top of my head. The original flying monkeys had arms they could use while flying. These don't seem to have that advantage. Unless those are being added in post - like those pink fingers that'll most likely be removed.
At some point we'll start seeing finished shots and our first teaser trailer. But since this movie isn't hitting till March 8th, 2013...

Hey dude, cool Walter Sobchak!" "You too! uh, what kinda .. uh, what are you? the monkey that flew out of my butt?

Walter Sobchak's presence makes this too suspicious to take seriously.
-
Wow! That's way too similar, isn't it?
Good eye/find.
But umm, why would any of us be familiar with that mask? -
I think I might have been slightly misinterpreted, I apologize.
I didn't necessarily expect most people on here to recognize what that is, however, I did expect Harry Would, considering he is a big Planet of the Apes Fan, which I am myself, so I've seen countless people use this for costumes.
Also I think found it hard to believe that most people on here would not notice the ridiculousness and cheapshit look of the outfit, The Wings look awesome, but they look too clunky and out of place, and with the Makeup, it's sort of obvious where the rubber ends, and the real forehead begins, This to me is obviously not what I expect to see from a Production that probably has a decent amount of money going in to it.
I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just saying that this is garbage, I looked at the Headline and was intrigued, then I saw the picture, I had to check my calendar to see if it was April 1st, because that pic is just a joke, more than anything I'm disappointed With Harry, because I really thought he would have realized it was shit.
Now I'm not trying to Bash Harry, enough people do it, I rarely post anything, and I only do when I feel I have something to say that someone else really hasn't.
Some of the bashing that Harry gets, amuses me to an extent, because I sometimes feel like he brought it on himself, but at the same time I think he is often criticized too harshly, I mean he's just a Person, he geeks out sometimes, a lot of people do.
but in regard to this Flying Monkey stuff, I do feel that Harry should have known better when seeing that pic.
I mean no offense Harry, but Damn it Man.
-
It's cool. I still like the whole look. But now that I've had time to think about it, and get a close look at the mask itself... yeah... no not so much.
-
Yeah, what a bunch of selfish asshole pricks.
*doggy head tilt* -
They crack me up!

The "FACT" thing was never funny. And if this is authentic...
by hyperdyne-systems-model-120-a2
...then Spider-Man 3 was not a fluke, Raimi's lost it and this will suck. Hope not.
-
Monkeys, well-known for having prehensile toes that are as dexterous as their fingers. Don't worry, Harry, I'm sure this new breed of flying monkey will still be able to peel bananas while flying.
-
I could point out so many things with your post that are wron but you seem too much of an idiot.
-
Christ Almighty Harry! Do a little digging around the internet before you post fake shit. It's a fucking Halloween party for fuck sakes.
http://www.cinemasecrets.ie/products_detail.php?ProductID=168&PHPSESSID=5e83c2200ffb3fd898da298ed7cf6972
...and the fellow beside him is clearly John Goodman from the Big Lebowski. Do you even give a fuck about this site anymore, or are you just scouring the internet for any shit you can post here. Fuck this site has become a shell of it's former self...and it all started with your Godzilla review. -
The jig is up on guys like Burton and M Night.
You retards who have been singing their praises for years, have finally come to realize what some of us already knew - how much they suck.
-
The Godzilla review was almost 15 years ago. You've been following a site you think sucks that long?
-

Come on Raimi,finish this shit and get on with the Warcraft movie.
by killik
COME ON.
-
I should have clarified....Harry's been consistently going downhill since the Godzilla review. I still like some of what this site has to offer. For every garbage article, there are two that are decent.
...and fuck if I still don't come here because of nostalgia. I have loved this site for a long, long time. Never really bothered to post that much, but loved coming here for my daily dose of geek. If you wade through the shit, there is still some greatness too be found...just seems like there is more shit. -
flying monkeys like throwing poop and perez hilton likes catching it.

No blue faces, no dice.

Looks like John Goodman visiting MJ on the Thriller video!
by drstrangerlove
-
Is he playing the Flying Monkey?
-
This doesn't feel like Raimi.
-
you were third - behind two much funnier comments actually.
-
That really looks bad, unless this truly is just a costume party.
-
1) flying monkeys in WoO
2) orange faced Ompa-Lumpas
3) the abominable from Rodoulph

ya this is clearly a costume party, a gay one at that, thats a gay guy as john goodman and thats another gay guy as a gay ape

looks like a guest star baddy from Sigmund and the Sea Monster.
-
Lazy. This just happened a week or two ago when whatshisname googled a behind the scenes pic of the day. Uncool. Some people who work here need a boot up their asses. I know this was Harry's thread and he's been sick--but c'mon...I'm getting cooler inside movie news on facebook lately and I can't fully express how sad that makes me.
-
It's either him or John Milius...
but may never know as it was Saturday yesterday... and the monkey man might have had a life and death emergency... -

Huh? Oh, that's Cynthia's flying monkey. I think it's a Pomeranian. I can't leave him home alone or he eats the furniture.

Creepy shit? What has Raimi ever done that was remotely realistic, intense or creepy? Please don't say claymation in the comedy trilogy Evil Dead.
by mentaldominance
-
"A Simple Plan" is realistic and terrifically intense. It's easily the best film Raimi's ever made.

This is the truth.

captain mal: Forgot all about that one! You're right, it's one of his best - he doesn't go hyper spastic and he keeps it real.

Forgot all aobut A Simple Plan that movie is great. And The Gift was similar and okay as well. Raimi should do more stuff like that. Realistic and less f/x.
by mentaldominance
-
Feb 06, 2012 8:12:44 AM CST
...and still the monkey is more attractive than Cynthia Nixon and Anne Heche
by proevad
Starting to feel sorry for these broads.
-
And yeah, ''A Simple Plan'' is way better than anything else Raimi has done.
