10,000 Bull Chud! by FILMFUNK	Mar 7th, 2008 09:21:58 AM
I fancy the Bank job but hear it aint that good and I believe Revolver or was it Volver has finally made it to the UsA which i'd be interested to hear if that played any better over your side coz it flunked here but i thought it was confusingly entertaining!
Why does CGI suck so much? by I Dunno	Mar 7th, 2008 09:29:33 AM
The CGI in Jurassic Park was great and it was the first movie to use CGI for anything realistic. Since then, no one can make a realistic CGI creature to save their life. In Star Wars they threw a rug over an elephant and they had a Bantha that looked real. They couldn't slap come fangs on a tiger in this movie?

i think between that and in bruges my saturday afternoon is set.
bank job was a bore by Holodigm	Mar 7th, 2008 09:33:35 AM
it was basically the real mccoy without mommy issues.
The Band's Visit by mastidon	Mar 7th, 2008 09:35:18 AM
I hope it gets lots of attention. I really enjoyed that film abd I would say it was by far the best film I saw at the London Film Fest last year.
Wow, I will have to check out Bank Job now by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 7th, 2008 09:42:30 AM
Not for Statham, I gave up on him after WAR. But if Donaldson called the shots I'm there. Who knows, I may even like Statham again(BTW I used to think he was great in Lock, Stock and in Snatch. What the fuck happened.
Actually I still like Statham in both those flicks. by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 7th, 2008 09:43:57 AM
Donaldson Rules. WHOOOOOO!
Statham is garbage. by Thrillho77	Mar 7th, 2008 09:56:20 AM
The guy has no range - and I know he shouldn't because he's an action hero, but he delivers those one liners with ZERO charisma. He always has the same damn intonation in his voice and stupid look on his face. I can't watch a movie where he is the main character anymore because he irks me so much. I don't get the love - he's just not a great action star! And that seems to be an unpopular opinion! He makes shitty movies, what can I say?
Save the Blue-eyed girl...! by superduper3000	Mar 7th, 2008 09:58:33 AM
Or hell, save the green-eyed girl! When's the last time we got so see someone saving a hotness with yummy brown-eyes? Oh that's right, Duran Duran's "Hungry Life the Wolf!" Respect!! Watchmen Cast Pix!! http://tinyurl.com/384o6a
No white heroes allowed?? by Andre the Frog	Mar 7th, 2008 10:08:41 AM
Ok fine, next time the Africans can clean up their own mess.

What the hell are you talking about?
Emerich... by MatDGZ	Mar 7th, 2008 10:19:40 AM
The dude should just stop making films. He'd make a good second unit director - he has an eye for pretty exciting action sequences. But as far as ACTUAL STORY is concerned, its waaaay beyond him. Stargate was a decent film, the script wasn't amazing but its by far the best film he's done. Well, either that or Universal Soldier ;-)
Stargate sucked because. by Andre the Frog	Mar 7th, 2008 10:25:14 AM
They actually had to learn the LANGUAGE in the other dimension. what a freakin' bore that is.
10K BC? Jesus created the U.S. just 6K yrs ago! by Baron Karza	Mar 7th, 2008 10:30:56 AM
Dont make nun gad-dum sense.
People who cry racism about 10000 BC... by Phimseto	Mar 7th, 2008 10:32:19 AM
...took too much Critical Race Theory in college. Seriously, to those people, instead of everything becoming a tootsie roll pop, it becomes the shadow of The Man keeping them down.
Does anyone know, by Stevie Grant	Mar 7th, 2008 11:09:03 AM
what that creepy, pinkish, mutant-looking person in the 10,000 BC trailer is? He reminded of that episode of the Venture Brothers where the boys' clones are released from the vats before they were done.
Amy Adams by greyspecter	Mar 7th, 2008 11:21:02 AM
quite the fox. Delicious. Nice to see the leftist Roland's true view of race relations. Bank job should feed my hankerin' for a good old fashioned caper flick. Topkapi and the Sting are the best, haven't had a good one since Ocean's 11.
Good stuff Capone by Darth Thoth	Mar 7th, 2008 11:25:54 AM
You're always on point.
they are called moa's i think by BMacSmith	Mar 7th, 2008 01:26:09 PM
big scary birds.
Emmerich as Director by Halloween68	Mar 7th, 2008 02:05:44 PM
Maybe now people will realize upon further examining his film catalog and will join in saying along with me, "Hey, this Roland Emmerich guy sucks balls." I've been saying that ever since laid eyes on ID4 for the first time that opening week so many days ago. People have kinda warmed up to the idea over the years. I dunno ... maybe some people have to see it 2 or 3 times to realize how blatantly stupid and lazy that film is. (Sorta how people are starting to come around with SCREAM, which I also declared horror for dipsh*ts when it came out.) Hopefully this will be the last straw, and the film will come off of everybodies "classic" scifi movie list, and so we won't have to witness it being run back to back to back to back on TNT's 4th of July movie marathon every year. Roland Emmerich stop making movies. You are giving Uwe Boll hope.
ZZZZ by skywalkerfamily	Mar 7th, 2008 02:11:11 PM
Where's the 100 Semi Pro reviews?
Emmerich's Films by MattmanReturns	Mar 7th, 2008 02:30:58 PM
The Patriot and Stargate still hold up well. I loved Independence Day when I first saw it, but I was young and stupid. Day After Tomorrow plays like an effects real, and it sucks whenever the "characters" open their mouths. I have a feeling 10,000 BC is the same thing.
The birds... by twindaggerturkey	Mar 7th, 2008 02:59:20 PM
They are diatrymas or phororhacos, I think. They are a real thing. They did not co-exist with humans, though, let alone Egyptians.
Coppers in Pettigrew! (Question for Capone) by Pervhoeven	Mar 7th, 2008 03:03:26 PM
I know its a bit shallow but i am! Anyways...I'm one of the police arresting a certian someone in the film. (Club scene) You see much of me?
Uh, Gollum looked pretty seamless by skywalkerfamily	Mar 7th, 2008 03:18:55 PM
So did Watto, the Jurassic Park dinos, etc. It's all just opinion. We wouldn't even have Jurassic Park if we're still in the physical FX era.
How dare you speak ill of Handsome Rob! by thebearovingian	Mar 7th, 2008 03:40:41 PM
Handsome Rob went back to London town and pulled off The British Job. Maybe Statham really wishes he was a gangster/criminal/thief?
Gollum looked like shit by I Dunno	Mar 7th, 2008 04:01:30 PM
So did that fucking troll from the first LOTR film.
Statham.... by pumaman	Mar 7th, 2008 04:09:29 PM
Thank God he won't be using his fake 'American' accent in the Bank Job because its fucking terrible. Other than that , I think most of his films are great.
if you thought Gollum looked like shit i have nothing by BMacSmith	Mar 7th, 2008 04:20:48 PM
more to say to you. You are a fucktard. He was a breakthrough. CG characters have definately arrived, and they can look fucking great, as Gollum proved. Of course, it can look like absolute shit (I am Legend), but it depends on the artiists involved. And in most cases, some combination of CG and makeup seems to work best.
Most of the LOTR creatures were models scanned by skywalkerfamily	Mar 7th, 2008 04:58:54 PM
into the computer. Why can't people figure this out?
wow, 10000 bc was actually worse than i thought by BMacSmith	Mar 7th, 2008 09:33:43 PM
how bland. bored throughout. completely devoid of anything original or entertaining. bravo!
I didn't mind I am Legend but the cgi was terrible by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 7th, 2008 11:50:28 PM
Gollum looks way better than what was achieved in Legend. If 'I dunno' really believes gollum looks bad he really is deluded.
Amy Adams by BizarroJerry	Mar 8th, 2008 12:50:24 AM
I would do things to Miss Adams that would seem sort of wrong to do to someone so sweet and adorable.
I think the major problem by Nabster	Mar 8th, 2008 06:36:16 AM
isn't the quality, but the fact its apparently boring. I thought the Patriot was his most sincere attempet to make a good movie, which almost makes it his least watchable, as he is completely out of his depth in terms of quality film making.
Gollum looked bad because he had no weight by I Dunno	Mar 8th, 2008 07:53:51 AM
It was the same with King Kong. When they close upped on his face he looked fine. When he actually stomped around and tried to react to his environment he looked like every other CGI creature.
CGI with weight..... by W3bzpinn3r	Mar 8th, 2008 09:44:12 AM
Jurassic Park 1 & 2 looked great. JP3 with it's "Enhanced physics" looked crappy. Transformers CGI looked great. The robots' feet sank into the ground with every step. And, of course, Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2, and 3 were FANTASTIC CGI. The fish people looked fantastic, as did the undead pirates. Also, look at the dragon in Harry Potter 4 - looked great and had a physical weight to it too. It had to "work" to get it's bulk off the ground to fly.
True, there are examples of good CGI by I Dunno	Mar 8th, 2008 10:10:51 AM
Pirates being one of them. Even some shots in King Kong look good. The technology's there to do it right so it must be a matter of time and budget. It's like they blew their wad making Kong's face look good in closeup, so the brontosaurs look like they were rendered on a Commodore 64.
Yoda acted better than Hayden by skywalkerfamily	Mar 8th, 2008 03:16:22 PM
It's a sad day when your CG creature acts better than flesh and blood.
