Die hard 4, ratatouille, 300, Spidey. Can'T fucking wait.
Very nice by mparke2	Mar 4th, 2007 11:48:36 AM
All of that is good stuff. Venom will rock heroes.
Hey by lionbiu	Mar 4th, 2007 11:54:25 AM
Looks like I am first....I think. Very excited about Spider-man 3, The impsons, Ratatouille, Harry Potter 5 and even Transformers.
so.. by Jimmie Dimmick	Mar 4th, 2007 11:57:56 AM
How long before the trailer is on YouTube?
RATATOUILLE by Evil Hobbit	Mar 4th, 2007 12:00:40 PM
RATATOUILLE sound so fucking awesome. Spidy 3 WOOOT. Was that a new potter trailer btw?
Squirrel Blowjobs by Gil Brooks	Mar 4th, 2007 12:03:44 PM
Butler was referring to his 300 beard. Pretty funny, actually.
EIGTH! by TheGoddamnSiege	Mar 4th, 2007 12:16:56 PM
Yes, an eigth.
Spidey sounds cool. by TORTURE PWN	Mar 4th, 2007 12:24:37 PM
But how come they can poop out the abyssmal Resident Evil & its sequels,Underworld,the Matrix,etc with an "R" rating yet are still afraid to give Watchmen the "R" it needs to succeed?Granted,Watchmen was based on a comic,but it was never purposely kid friendly(even though I LOVED it as a kid).
Wow, killer report by Daddylonghead	Mar 4th, 2007 12:40:30 PM
I am not a big fan of the spider-flicks, but that does sound pretty cool... so much for everyone saying the Venom storyline was going to be put off for part 4! Although RE:2 was junk, I will keep an open mind regarding RE:3. Oded was the only watchable element of the Mummy 2, so here's hoping he gets a fair shake. And of course I'm psyched for 300, as any fan of Sin City and violent onscreen sword combat should be.
Thanks for an ace article. by Reelheed	Mar 4th, 2007 01:00:54 PM
Great reading!
So which of you dicks talked to Ali Larter? by Zarles	Mar 4th, 2007 01:07:31 PM
If that wasn't an AICN'er, I'll eat my hat. And it's a big hat.
The Larter hater is a dick by CTU Mole	Mar 4th, 2007 02:12:20 PM
Writing on internet messageboards must have eroded any sense of tact he was born with. We're going to have a generation of social retards that are going to make pre-internet geeks seem like worldly aristocracy.
Class... there's just no substitute. by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 4th, 2007 02:49:26 PM
It seems readily apparent from this article that Ali Larter has some. It's satisfying to hear that the guy got what he deserved. Instead looking cool in front of all the "cool movie people" as he most likely had hoped; he ended up looking the moron he really is. Larter was smart. She knew not to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Opinionated vs. Tactless cruelty by David Lazarus Long	Mar 4th, 2007 03:25:17 PM
"love the show, but think that yours is the worst character" - Opinion "Even though you're a so-so actress" - Opinion "is there a possibility that you can ask them to kill your character off?" - Tactless cruelty. Voicing your thoughts on an actor's work is one thing, but suggesting that the actor should try to sabotage a role? That's just mean. There are many ways he could have conveyed his displeasure without taking the cheap-shot route of "kill yourself". That's a decision for the creator and writers to make, has nothing to do with the actress or her ability, and is not a valid question but rather a meek attempt to get a rise out of her and/or the crowd. I'm sure that guy is furiously blogging away about "how cool am I for taking a shot at Ali Larter". I'm more inclined to say he's a dick that hasn't gotten laid since college. I'm certainly not the biggest fan of where they've gone with the Nikki/Jessica/DL/Micah thread, and yea, maybe it would be best for her to get killed off, but it ain't my call, it ain't Ali Larter's call, and it ain't Fatso McWhiner's call either. Now, if this question had been directed at Kring or another writer, it would be valid. Like, if Milla had been there, would he have asked "Milla, I hate the RE films. Even though you're a so-so actress, can you ask the director to stop making these movies?" No, because that sounds RETARDED. Milla has no control over how many RE movies they make, just like Larter has no control over what they do with her character. Fucking pathetic. Kudos to Larter for not giving that fuck what he wanted. That being said, I'm gonna go beat off to that Maxim she was in a few years back. Hellooooo Ali!
Michael Giacchino scores RATATOUILLE by Evil Hobbit	Mar 4th, 2007 03:39:53 PM
Trailer music was also from him
re:captboulder by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 4th, 2007 03:40:37 PM
While I agree that famous actors need to be thick skinned; I don't think that guy's behavior was appropriate... the way it was described. As David Lazarus Long said in his post,... 'I'm sure that guy is furiously blogging away about "how cool am I for taking a shot at Ali Larter"'. It's a sound byte world we live in; and IMO that guy was just trying to look cool for a nano-second at the expense of somebody famous. He could've stated opinions all day long; but when he made it a personal attack that changed things. However, I appreciate you disagreeing with me in a civil manner... that can be a rare thing on these boards sometimes.
3 more Spider-Man movies and one X-Mas special by vivavitalogy	Mar 4th, 2007 03:45:28 PM
Only one man can bring lasting glory to the Spider-Man franchise; Uwe Boll. That's right friends! No other director will lift the series into infamy. In 30 years these current "Spider-Man" stoires will fade into obscurity. To avoid this the studio must take charge and chance with Uwe in creating three more Spidey movies: Spider-Man 4: Gator Bait (with guest direcot Tim Burton), Spidey Vs. Predataliens, Spider-Man & the Silky Sheets: A One Act Told in Four Parts by Uwe BOll and the sure to be perennial classic Gieco Insurance Presents The Spider-Man Christmas Special Spectacular: The North Pole Siege.
Ali Larter always gets me excited, but then I remember by Flim Springfield	Mar 4th, 2007 03:46:06 PM
I'm thinking of Ali Landry, not Larter. Holy crap, Ali Landry is hot.
An opinion would have been by David Lazarus Long	Mar 4th, 2007 03:47:31 PM
"I think they should kill your character off.", not "Tell them to kill your character off." How exactly did he expect her to respond to that? "Oh. Thanks. I'll do that." No, he wanted her to fly off the handle. There is NO POSSIBLE REASON to say something like that unless you want to provoke someone. If he had said "I think they should kill you off.", she could have given her position on his opinion, such as, "Well, you won't think so in a few weeks," or "Well, I'm sorry you feel that way but it's really up to the writers." He didn't want those responses. He wanted "Well, fuck you too you little twerp!", which she refrained from. Maybe the writers should kill HIM off. (voice of Comic Book Guy) "Excuse me, excuse me, Miss Larter... I have discovered my own hidden superpower: the power of Disgruntled Nerd! I challenge you to a duel of wits... as soon as I finish the 300 burritos in this wheelbarrow."
Larter won't die by arrangedletters	Mar 4th, 2007 03:49:01 PM
I was also there for Ali's talk and she said she was looking at projects to do during the hiatus. One would think this was a pretty good clue that her character will be around.
re: David Lazarus Long by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 4th, 2007 03:53:22 PM
I'm really on the same page with you. All he was looking for was a chance to look cool for putting down a celebrity. ... love the Comic Book Guy reference
Whenever I read Harry's articles by David Lazarus Long	Mar 4th, 2007 04:03:30 PM
I read them in Comic Book Guy voice. Ehehehe.
You know, that Resident Evil description sounds cool by FluffyUnbound	Mar 4th, 2007 04:13:25 PM
Of course, the movie will suck anyway. You could write a script review where you told me that they have a scene where Milla and Ali come to my house and blow me in a documentary-style shot, and I would still know that since it's got the Resident Evil name on it, it will suck. How they manage to make bad zombie movies is anyone's guess, but they get the job done.
ALI LARTER HATER GOTTA EAT by Strshp2rpr	Mar 4th, 2007 04:32:19 PM
Somebody had to be that guy.
That fat fuck... by AngelCordy	Mar 4th, 2007 04:46:37 PM
Someone should have thrown a compact mirror at Ali Larter so Jessica could have ripped his fat ass in half.
Bullshit Like That by Saluki	Mar 4th, 2007 05:37:59 PM
Is why I would never have my stars even bother with this suckacon bullshit or whatever. You can get major actors and actresses on the cheap if they don't get jammed into this promotion junk that only a few dozen people hear about in the first place. Once you start laying on worthless promotions like this that barely even play with the core crowd, then the agents start raising the payscale to impossible levels.
That Ali Larter hater was an asshole!! by frowwdow88	Mar 4th, 2007 06:56:13 PM
Shes not a writer of the show shes just an actress shes does her job and shes good at it atleast on Heroes, his fat ass should have complained to sumone who cared. btw patiently waiting for May 4th
one quibble... by keepcoolbutcare	Mar 4th, 2007 07:04:14 PM
Lou Romano voiced Dash's beleaguered teacher in The Incredibles, and his voice work on Linguini is a far cry from that work. If Bird hadn't said, I don't think I would've noticed. He is voicing Linguini, but the role of Remy's brother, Emile, is performed by Peter Sohn. Good reportage indeed, but, what, you couldn't break away to check out Brian K. Vaughan?
so it would've been wrong... by keepcoolbutcare	Mar 4th, 2007 07:09:19 PM
if I asked Hilary Swank if she dumped Chad Lowe 'cuz Idris Elba "tapped that"? Or my follow up to Idris, "did you tap that"? 'Cuz, really, those two should be making babies. Swank looked dynamite, exuding star wattage and Idris is a beautiful man. I ain't gay, but I'd let him watch me pee...
Even before HEROES was called RISING STARS it was by TORTURE PWN	Mar 4th, 2007 07:09:44 PM
called MISFITS OF SCIENCE
BOOHOO! Spidey 3 footage OLDD! by mish87	Mar 4th, 2007 07:19:46 PM
Dude, the footage was the same as was upoloaded on the net just a month or so ago. Lame. It was 45 minutes of suffering through the Surf's up presentation to see NOTHING new. Blah.
Twister, jesus christ!! by BadMrWonka	Mar 4th, 2007 10:18:53 PM
that one up and away shit is still going on? god damn you guys are pathetic, you're like that kid that throws the basketball over the fence because he can't play... get your dumb ass over to the Lost talkback...they'll watch anything...
Before Heroes was Rising Stars was Misfits of Sci by rgatz	Mar 5th, 2007 12:53:40 AM
..it was called The Midwich Cuckoos
I was there by roninam	Mar 5th, 2007 01:03:19 AM
And it really seemed like Ali Larter was going to cry when that first person asked his question. But she kept her composure nicely. The downside is that I think she gave canned responses until she felt comfortable again, maybe 5 questions later.
i think the bottom line is... by soup74	Mar 5th, 2007 01:15:41 AM
while many of us agree with his comments, we also know that was a pretty reatrded/misdirected way to get attention.
poor Ali Larter by drave117	Mar 5th, 2007 01:16:31 AM
I think that panel had the most assholes per capita of any presentation that day. That first guy... wow. That guy was an industrial-grade douche. I bet he went home and masturbated to the thought of almost making a woman cry. (Probably because that is the only emotional impact he is capable of having on women...) People like that make me want to retch. I also sorta wanted to punch the guy who broke the rules and pissed off a ballroom full of people by getting an autograph during the Q&A. And the little shit didn't even stay for the panel. He took his comic book and marched straight out the door. (And home to Ebay?) There were some real nutters in the other panels, though, but no total jerks. Still, a fun day overall, and I am totally psyched about most of the movies I saw panels for. Except for Surf's Up. I get the feeling that the Surf's Up panel was the brussels sprouts, and the Spidey 3 trailer was the ice cream.
spidey 3 footage [spoilers] by drave117	Mar 5th, 2007 01:26:55 AM
For those of you who were wondering, yes the one Venom shot we have already seen was in the trailer, but the one at the very end was new. Also, there was roughly three or four times as much footage of Peter ripping off the suit in the church tower as we have ever seen before. And tons of new snippets throughout the trailer. I would estimate at LEAST 60-65% of the trailer was footage I hadn't seen, even if it came from scenes we've already seen other parts of. Believe me, it got EVERYBODY at the panel pumped up.
re: the fellating of squirrels by drave117	Mar 5th, 2007 01:32:25 AM
Gerald Butler was freaking HILARIOUS! He really embraced the geekness of being at a Comic Con, and seemed totally in his element. Nobody else was even half as entertaining as he was, although the director of TMNT was a natural as well. I think my favorite moment was when one of the ladies in line was a mother who was on her cell phone with her 12 year old daughter, and she asked on behalf of the kid, "What did you want to be when you were twelve?" His reponse was to roar in his bad-ass Scottish brogue "A KILLER!"
Did anyone Youtube this yet by Phategod1	Mar 5th, 2007 03:53:13 AM
Somebody snuck the last trailer at comicon I hope they got this too.
twat by Lost Prophet	Mar 5th, 2007 04:52:19 AM
Never mind the Cheap and tacky shot at Ali Larter, what makes him a tool is "what makes the RE series work (even at its dumbest moments) is that the guy knows his audience " I've always thought "wow, I'm so lucky that this director knows me so well and treats properties that I care about with such respect". What a fucking privelege.
Don't hate the Ali-hater! by Abin Sur	Mar 5th, 2007 07:38:52 AM
Poor guy, having to numb all his emotional pain with burritos...
Oh, and Joel Silver... by Abin Sur	Mar 5th, 2007 07:44:06 AM
Mentioning JUSTICE LEAGUE! Hearing it from HIS mouth raised my enthusiasm level 100 percent!
I just wanted to say "Hi" ...to one9deuce and Kintar0. by JDanielP	Mar 5th, 2007 09:30:40 AM
By the way, would you best buds discuss your common appreciation for James Cameron and your desire to see Reese Witherspoon as Harley Quinn? Thanks.
I love you, Sly! by Fecal Debris	Mar 5th, 2007 09:45:47 AM
Just in case you forgot. And I wanna remind all my AICN peeps to pick up Casino Royale and Rocky Balboa on DVD next week, and the week after. You know you want to, and MGM will give ya props
Tobey says he's done by Fecal Debris	Mar 5th, 2007 09:50:48 AM
There's a new article on SHH wherein MacGuire told some paper or another that "it feels like a trilogy" and the "team should break up." Huh? You mean, they introduce Venom in Spidey 3 and Spidey licks him AND Sandman in the same picture? C'mon. There's no way. At least, no GOOD way for that to happen. You mean to tell me, Brock will become Venom near the end of this picture and Spidey will somehow defeat him within a half hour or so and that's it?
Maybe RATATOUILLE won't be half bad? by finky089	Mar 5th, 2007 10:25:18 AM
I keep my expectations low, but this is making me hopeful the new Pixar film will exceed it. Spidey 3 still sounds fucking great anyway ya slice it, but I'm preaching to the choir here.
Dr Eric Vornoff RE:Randy Newman hate by TORTURE PWN	Mar 5th, 2007 10:38:15 AM
You can usually tell a Randy Newman hater by his/her height or lack thereof.
same venom footage. by deadpool51	Mar 5th, 2007 12:40:43 PM
The shot of Venom was the exact some shot they showed at last years wondercon that was all over the internet, so it was nothing new ( minus the part were he grabs spideys head, but you cant see him anyway) THe trailer was really cool but i was kinda dissapointed they couldnt show us new venom footage that hasnt been seen before.
Messi your obliviouse. by deadpool51	Mar 5th, 2007 12:42:21 PM
She isnt just schizophrenic, she was super strenghth. She is bascically like the hulk but instead of turning green she turns into "another person"
The Hater by liljuniorbrown	Mar 5th, 2007 01:31:20 PM
I would have punched him in the mouth just on principal and here's why 1. She had done nothing to deserve that type of treatment, it was the first question. Had she been an ass like Kirstin Dunst and put down comic fans and fans of her own movie series,maybe so, but she hadn't opened her mouth. 2. He was acting on the fact that it was a woman and she wouldn't stoop as low as to belt him in the mouth, had he said that to just about ANY male actor, he would have either been thrown a beat'n or ridiculed for the virgin that he is. 3.She (like everyone else has said) is not the show's writter so she has zero control. I hate a bully worse than anything else in this world and I would have worked him over like a part time job.
I just can't wait for Spidey 3 by just pillow talk	Mar 5th, 2007 02:20:36 PM
And a giant "Amen!" to Springfield with his mention of Ali Landry.
anyone notice the webbing mj was stuck to? by pate	Mar 5th, 2007 10:17:12 PM
it looks like venom may be in more than just the end.
Ali Landry has fake boobs.... by Jimmy Jazz	Mar 5th, 2007 11:49:39 PM
No one with fake boobs is "hot", just tacky.
And I say kudos to Larter..... by Jimmy Jazz	Mar 5th, 2007 11:55:27 PM
For keeping her cool in the face of fatman's stupidity.
Regarding the Spidey movies... by dead.legend	Mar 6th, 2007 12:01:36 PM
If Maguire actually does want to leave the movies, I could see why - he has a bad back and these movies take a shitload of energy to make. If he leaves, and Sam Raimi decides to pursue the franchise, I could easily see another actor filling the role in the next film. Someone like, I dunno, Jake Gyllenhall? Sounds great to me. He looks the part, has the acting chops, and he's probably a fan of the comics. Kirsten Dunst shouldn't mind. It wouldn't be like a Batman deal where it'll happen in every movie. I think it would work.
