SHOOT ‘EM UP Screens And You Guys Are All Over It!

First! by Tomo	Apr 27th, 2007 12:55:59 PM
Woot!
There are SO MANY PLANTS in here... by Luvs269er	Apr 27th, 2007 12:58:20 PM
... I can't see the movie on the screen! What a load of planted BS!
Owen might as well by THE KNIGHT	Apr 27th, 2007 01:03:39 PM
had played 007... oh well -_- I still like craig though...
plant plant plan by Speaker for the Dead	Apr 27th, 2007 01:08:39 PM
plant. did i forget one?
I've owned this HSX stock for years now.. by Sidius	Apr 27th, 2007 01:08:59 PM
Good to hear it might pay off. I mean just the cast and concept alone should be enough to give any action fan a boner. Clive Owen is the best thing to hit action films since Bruce Willis.
So it's gonna actually have action like it says it will by godzillasushi	Apr 27th, 2007 01:14:14 PM
unlike Smokin' Aces which, for all the talk it had about action and stuff, really had none. I just want a freaking movie with some great non-stop action. I hate waiting for summer because that's the only time you get to see great stuff like Mission Impossible 3, Die Hard, and Transformers etc.
I was there too by insidethebox	Apr 27th, 2007 01:17:33 PM
I was at the screening as well and I can tell you these are not plants, the movie was a blast and both the people around me loved it as much as I did. That said, I've never wanted an opening animated credit sequence more-think the Pink Panter ones but with guns and blood.
Planty McPlantsaLot! by Fecal Debris	Apr 27th, 2007 01:19:22 PM
"You guys are all over it." There's your giveaway. Were this reviewer of our number (a TBer) he woulda said, "We're all over it" or something. Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" was recorded at the Record PLANT
300? No marketing? No expectations? by AdrianVeidt	Apr 27th, 2007 01:23:35 PM
Did the second guy just honestly compare this to 300 by saying there is very little marketing? I don't trust him. He's a moron.
Can't see the forest for the PLANTS! by California Split	Apr 27th, 2007 01:27:11 PM
The more they try to sell this thing, the worse it sounds. Christ, DIE HARD looks better and better every year, compared to junior varsity horseshit like SHOOT 'EM UP. What happened to the lost art of the action film? Robocop never used a fucking carrot to kill somebody.
You Had Me At 'Nipples Sucked' by georges garvaren	Apr 27th, 2007 01:39:36 PM
Seriously.
MONICA BELLUCCI:Goes topless in this ??? by optimist008	Apr 27th, 2007 01:47:18 PM
Does she show her juicey lungs off in this film ??? Thanks
I thought this was delayed until September by Mr Incredible	Apr 27th, 2007 01:49:01 PM
So what's the point of going over it now? Is this supposed to tide everyone over until then? I can see the talkback after it actually comes out: " It was good, but it's no ULTRAVIOLET!"
Well, I just hope it comes to Nashville by allyousay	Apr 27th, 2007 01:58:17 PM
Nothing ever comes to THIS C-Rated town.
Shooting things up does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Apr 27th, 2007 02:03:23 PM
Sounds like my kind of movie. I'm there. Bit off topic but 300 was mentioned - anyone know if 300 will get the 'extended / unrated' treatment on DVD? After all, Snyder's previous movie Dawn Of The Dead did. Little help?
Monica Belushi does a speedball into her tit... by LaneMyersClassic	Apr 27th, 2007 02:19:15 PM
That last reviewer was a genius.
Attention Reviewers: by Fabulous Freak	Apr 27th, 2007 02:29:55 PM
You are no longer allowed to like films. We as the geek community stand by our mission to moan and bitch and call into question anybody with a positive attitude towards anything. Don't you see? This is a Critictatorship! Now, fall into line, or thou shalt be called...leafy. Seriously, god help me if I ever see a film that I like and bother to write about it.
Hey, PLANTS GOTTA EAT !!!!! by The real Jack Bauer	Apr 27th, 2007 02:50:31 PM
you betcha
crank anyone? by steele8280	Apr 27th, 2007 02:53:05 PM
Sounds a lot like crank. A film that starts in Jason Statham's head and after a 3 minute set up the film goes batshit crazy until the last blink. If you haven't seen it and like a chase film on speed, watch CRANK. And it has the best delivery of "I'm Alive" ever.
lactating hooker? by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 27th, 2007 03:03:16 PM
Ummmm........... I'm in I think.
NOW GET YOUR ASS TO MARS by GopherTrace	Apr 27th, 2007 03:11:33 PM
Come on...less with the Plant action and more with the Total Recall quotes!
SEE YOU AT THE PARTY RICHTER! by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 27th, 2007 03:14:39 PM
Consider that a divorce.
"You Had Me At 'Nipples Sucked" BRAVO georges g. by S-Mart shopper	Apr 27th, 2007 03:23:16 PM
LMAO...so true, so very true!
they could be all plants by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 03:26:01 PM
but that's not important. This is important: Monica Bellucci. Italian goddess. I certainly love to eat Italian.
Children of Men Part 2 by btranel	Apr 27th, 2007 03:27:21 PM
It has non-stop action for sure. It's just marginally exciting action in a marginally interesting story. Plus Clive Owen wearing tattered clothes while resucing a baby. I think I just saw that movie a few months ago.
what have you been feeding that? by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 03:27:43 PM
blondes.
Badass action + Monica "Belushi" = My $ by Lando Griffin	Apr 27th, 2007 04:18:37 PM
.
"The shooting is like a video game - unreal and harm- by Neo Zeed	Apr 27th, 2007 04:47:57 PM
lesss." The weird part is that I think it was actually meant to be a compliment. Frankly if this movie claims to call itself "shoot-em-up" and has pussified action then I'll just stay home and watch Hard-Boiled...again.
Sounds like Crank by Jonesey1111	Apr 27th, 2007 04:54:41 PM
Nonstop action, lots of sex, like a videogame...another 1.5 hr. music video like that stupid "I'm a bounty hunter" movie. That being said, I'll go for the Monica boobies.
Two Weeks... by SavageDragoner	Apr 27th, 2007 04:58:22 PM
You and your damn TR quotes. Anyway, steele8280, fuck yeah to that Crank action, that was a bad ass movie. I will see the shit out of Shoot 'Em Up when it comes out. This is actually the first I heard of it. Is there a release date tacked down somewhere?
Looks like a Hard Boiled wanna-be by superunknown85	Apr 27th, 2007 05:10:26 PM
Plus those plants, I mean audience reactions, are freakin moronic. 300 didn't get promotion? WTF?
Sounds like that POS Smoking Aces. by modlight	Apr 27th, 2007 06:16:45 PM
I just watched that and it just firmed up my opinion that NARC, was indeed highly overrated.
I already seen Monica "Belushi" nekkid... by blackmantis	Apr 27th, 2007 06:54:04 PM
In Brotherhood of the Wolf, with a long slow pan up her voluptuous mountains, which then believe it out not morphed into a shot of actual mountains. That was genius.
I don't know about this by #1 Zero	Apr 27th, 2007 06:54:22 PM
I looked this up on IMDB. First, I've never heard of the director and I am really wondering how he got Owen, Giammatti and Belucci to be in the film. New line must have shelled out a lot of money. Secondly, there is a still photograph on IMDB that shows Giammatti and Owen standing facing each other with a gun pointed at one another. I've seen that at least a dozen times since John Woo perfected it. Third: the plot. It sounds like the mother of the baby dies so why would the mob go after the baby. I don't think any explanation as to why the mob would want to kill a baby is going to fly for me. But then, this doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to it, nothing to really think about. Also, the carrot thing does sound stupid.
Don't know about the other two by mr.underwater	Apr 27th, 2007 07:40:11 PM
But that first reviewer is so obviously a plant it makes me wonder if Haryy even cares anymore. Dear PR Flacks, your attempts to write like Harry are embarrassing and not convincing in the least. Just make the points you boss tells you to, without all the CRAZY all-capped asides. If this site has already decided they like whatever movie you're shilling, they'll run your fake review even if you have 'for immediate release' at the top. Thanks.
Narc=Fluke by Stuntcock Mike	Apr 27th, 2007 08:23:24 PM
yup
if it doesnt suck it must be a PLANT! by TouchMyMonkey	Apr 27th, 2007 08:56:45 PM
how dare anyone else in the world voice their personal opinion about movies that they themselves saw. only AICN talkbackers are allowed to relay their personal opinion about movies and even then the words must be at least 82.5% negative to warrant acceptance. seesm as though if it wasnt written by you and it is remotely positive you call it a plant. do us all a favor and SHUT the FUCK UP. do any of you even like movies anymore? i swear, for a group of "movie fans" you seem to really want everything to suck. jesus christ on a fucking pogo stick. get a life.
NAPPY HEADED HO'S! by Supervillain Outcast	Apr 28th, 2007 12:54:42 AM
This movie seems cool. The plants have sold me!
ehhhh... by moners	Apr 28th, 2007 11:30:46 AM
300? no promotion? only ads all day fucking long on TV and every second poster around town. moron. 300 did rock my balls though.
also... by moners	Apr 28th, 2007 11:39:41 AM
rock on TouchMyMonkey. totally agree.
Are the 'baddies' nihilists? by Dr Gregory House	Apr 28th, 2007 03:12:46 PM
If so, then there is nothing to worry about.
Somebody needs to take care of all the by SylarTheCylon	Apr 28th, 2007 05:27:28 PM
leafy scumbags that are writing that garbage full of lies.
after i was so utterly disappointed with SMOKIN' ACES.. by Charlie Murphy	Apr 28th, 2007 08:06:25 PM
i won't hold my breath. it seems like no one can make a good, classic, SIMPLE, sweet action movie anymore. i went into Smokin Aces expecting hillbillies with chainsaws and to see at least fifty headshots and to see Ray Liotta fuck shit up, and what i get is a overly complicated cover up and a dumb personal ending. i might get slammed for saying this, but the best action movies to come along in the past year or so have been Running Scared and Lucky Number Slevin. i know, many of yous didn't see either, and those who did thought they were shitty, but they were (except for the endings in both cases), very simple, bloody, cool action flicks. (of course there's also 300 and Casino Royale and Sin City and a few more) Shoot 'em up sounds cool, and if a trailer is released that looks promising, i'll go see it. on a side note, this is waaay off base, but how sweet would a jonah hex movie be? i've been reading the new comic series by jimmy palmiotti and justin gray and it's fucking brilliant and if DC and Warner Bros would stop diddling their respective twats with that B.S "green arrow" movie and the WW pic, they could adapt Jonah for the screen. Just copy and paste the comic scripts as a screenplay and you've got yourself a fucking jonah hex movie. structure it like the sin city movie (three individual stories connected only by jonah) and tell his origin in between his zany western adventures. make it bloody and violent and people would flock to it just like they flocked to 300. sorry for the little rant there... so where was i?... oh yeah, clive owen's the shit, children of men kicked ass, and i'll probably go see shoot em up.
Running Scared was an excellent by Neo Zeed	Apr 28th, 2007 09:26:33 PM
action movie. Gotta disagree about Lucky Number Slevin. I didn't like that one too much. On on side note it wasn't an action movie, but rather a crime movie. Sort of like Usual Suspects had some gun action, but it can't be categorized as an action movie.
Neo Zeed by Charlie Murphy	Apr 28th, 2007 10:27:07 PM
I guess you're right, Slevin is more of a crime movie. But it's fun. of course, it's not without its flaws... if lucy liu was removed from the equation entirely, i'd be on my knees worshipping the flick. i thought it was clever (although sometimes too much for its own good) and it has the coolest first ten minutes i've (maybe ever) seen. and i'm glad to see some running scared love up in herr
Even Studio Plants need love.... Violent anal love. by TheUglyBaby	Apr 28th, 2007 10:44:17 PM
He he he
Fuckin hate Clive Owen by Dkev00	Apr 28th, 2007 11:24:41 PM
He has no acting ability and is totally over rated. Children Of Men was a waste of film.
Roll these weeds and smoke 'em! by Doctor_Sin	Apr 29th, 2007 12:17:12 AM
Carrot-eating beeyatches.
CARROT! by DarthBakpao	Apr 29th, 2007 01:25:32 AM
"And the carrot. Clive is always eating a carrot because they are good for the eyes and help you shoot. Well the dude manages to do everything ever possible with a carrot - he fires a machine gun with it, he stabs a guy in the face with it, he even takes out a roomful of bad guys with a carrot. You will never think of this veggie the same after this film." See, carrot is categorized as plant too. CARROT!
Charlie Murphy by s0nicdeathmonkey	Apr 29th, 2007 04:34:20 PM
Running scared kicked my ass too. Every time I go to a party and someone says, "Hey, you know movies. Bring a DVD along" I bring running scared and it kicks everyones ass.
monster2Bpitied by s0nicdeathmonkey	Apr 29th, 2007 04:37:04 PM
he turned down Bond I believe.
Caused me to register by AllThumbs	Apr 29th, 2007 09:12:41 PM
So sick of the everyone calling "Plant" that I had to register. I'm starting to think that some of the plant callers are probably plants themselves, for competing studios! I guess we can now change the old saying to "If you don't have anything good to say, say it at Ain't it Cool." Don't you guys ever get sick of saying the same thing that everyone else is? Don't forget, black sheep are still sheep, and saying something negative is still giving up your time and wasting the time of others. Back to you regularly schedules program on the Gardening Channel.
fuuuck yooouuu!! by gomez33	Apr 30th, 2007 02:48:38 AM
who just fucking slagged off Children of Men, you complete idiot, devoid of any taste. Can we screen the pricks on this talkback please.
A good axample of an action movie... by Doc_Strange	Apr 30th, 2007 03:02:11 AM
Total Recall. Action movie, tits, good story, happy ending - great film.
Trailer by Dazzler69	Apr 30th, 2007 06:37:56 AM
http://www.worstpreviews.com/t railer.php?id=559&item=0 Good enough for a weekend movie/rental. I would not call it a 300 however. Dude is smokin....
great movie by reckni	May 1st, 2007 02:58:30 AM
Saw it nearly half a year ago, Hell, maybe longer, so I wonder what the difference is. A few weeks ago I was curious as to why it hasn't been released. Quality R rated flick, highly recommended.
