A Kid Tossing, Hard Boozing, FX Loving HANCOCK Trailer Arrives In Glorious QuickTime!!

maybe this finds and audience by palewook	May 2nd, 2008 09:16:36 AM
maybe it doesnt. TDK, Ironman, and Hellboy II will make it hard for the other superhero movies this summer to make a profit though.
Same as the old? by Kragmose	May 2nd, 2008 09:17:13 AM
Except the kid says "Jackass" instead of jerk here. Maybe this is the R rated one?
I hope hes a bum for most of the movie. by fractureJonze	May 2nd, 2008 09:19:22 AM
That seems more interesting than when he puts on the generic black leather suit.
I'm optimistic by GiveMeAnFinBreak	May 2nd, 2008 09:21:42 AM
It doesn't look bad. The FX are a little shakey, but they weren't exactly seamless in Iron Man, either.
The Hole Movie Was by dancinggopher01	May 2nd, 2008 09:22:26 AM

Looks pretty good by waldo	May 2nd, 2008 09:29:21 AM
I hope it is, for the sake of Bergs Dune.
Great. They ruined the whole thing by Belvis	May 2nd, 2008 09:30:43 AM
The bad thing about "glorious" quicktime, is that you can see things they didn't mean for you to see. Like exactly who the villain is. Thanks for ruining it, dicks.
This might be pretty good. Kinda cool. by Underoos Hero	May 2nd, 2008 09:35:21 AM

The kid-tossing was hilarious... by Kid Z	May 2nd, 2008 09:39:43 AM
...but what I liked is the real-world look to all the superhero stunts. When Hancocks flies by, shit gets blown around, unlike Superman Returns where Routh-Supes would fly by at supersonic speed and the only effect on his environment was that you heard a mincing little "whoosh" sound.
Han WHAT? by ricarleite	May 2nd, 2008 09:39:49 AM
Never heard of it. Well I did, but I chose to ignore Will Smith after I Am Legend and Scientology.
Berg for the Superman reboot!!! by Live.	May 2nd, 2008 09:42:19 AM
Damn. 5 seconds of the Hancock trailer destroys all of Super Deadbeat Lifts Things.
The Kid He Tossed... by Mission Code Z	May 2nd, 2008 09:51:44 AM
...was the young Michael Myers from Zombie's Halloween remake. Poetic justice perhaps?
This movie is going to be HUGE..Prediction... by ganymede3010	May 2nd, 2008 09:56:35 AM
This is easily a 300+ million movie. This have family summer blockbuster written all across it. To bad they showed everything in the Trailer. But here's another prediction. Charlize Theron will Villain. How cool is that?
I agree Live, why does this look better then Superman Returns? by ganymede3010	May 2nd, 2008 09:58:08 AM
Eventhough Brian Singer is one of my favorite Directors. This Hancock footage shits on anything I seen in Superman.

The potential is there by Franklin T Marmoset	May 2nd, 2008 10:01:00 AM
Mind you, I say that only because I would love to see a film about an asshole superhero, but I suspect this is probably about an asshole superhero who learns and grows and whatnot and then saves a kitten and hugs some kids and all that kind of crap. After that, he most likely goes on Oprah and cries. Still, the asshole parts of the film look like they could be funny.
So when the first TV spot hit by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 10:01:16 AM
Like on Thursday of last week or two weeks ago, I saw it at least 30 times THAT NIGHT! I am not exaggerating. In just watching Thursday night TV (granted its a big line up right now) I saw the TV spot no less then 30 times. The producers gotta be worried about this movie. They are going to drill it into your brain that you got to see this opening weekend before it gets lost. Will Smiths 100 million a year company may be worried. Personally this movie would've benefited from less it more, then again after the bombardment of Kingdom trailers maybe Peter Berg needs to calm down. I was having faith in him, but the Kingdom didn't really stand out like his first 3 films and this looks like I'll have forgotten it right after I saw it...except for the fact that they are trying to ingrain it into your brain with promos that will be remembered long after the movie is.
'Iron Mania' by Mr Gorilla	May 2nd, 2008 10:04:05 AM
Hope you geeks realise that if IRON MAN does well, it'll be because it's a good film. Unlike Batman, Superman, Spider-Man or Hulk, ordinary people haven't heard of this character, and to be honest it looks pretty boring.
First of its trailers to make me want to see it by Laserhead	May 2nd, 2008 10:04:31 AM

This will play like gangbusters by kwisatzhaderach	May 2nd, 2008 10:04:45 AM
with a Friday night audience, this will be a huge hit. I really don't want to see Dune being made by the director of this though.
The Return of Big Willy Weekend? by Robnhud	May 2nd, 2008 10:07:26 AM

Palewook by Freakemovie	May 2nd, 2008 10:07:57 AM
This is Will Smith on the 4th of July - it's going to make a shitload. Like, five-times-as-much-as-Hellboy- II shitload.
Looks really bizarre by Dwide Shrewd	May 2nd, 2008 10:09:09 AM
Yet intriguing at the same time. Seems like they're trying too hard to make him a surly bastard at the beginning. If he actually rips the cons head off, that would be pretty badass, though. Arrested Development fans have to like seeing Michael Bluth and Rita in a film together again.
Its pretty obvious by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 10:18:05 AM
That Will Smith is miscast in this role. It was like man I got this good idea, but its going to cost a lot of money, and after the flop of my super ex-girlfriend companies were like we have to make money off of this. What = box office returns? Will Smith, plus he pretty much is a real life superhero. Theres no way this movie would've gotten as big a budget with someone like Steve Buschimi, and Bruce Willis already does this as a cop. I guess I am just glad that Will Ferrel didn't get the role. Its just impossible for anyone to believe Will Smith is just some lame ass slacker who doesn't give a shit.
Wish Dave Chappelle was the lead in this. by fiester	May 2nd, 2008 10:20:27 AM
Imagine his super-powered Tyrone the Crackhead. That would be hilarious.
No Buys! by Super Rabbi	May 2nd, 2008 10:21:51 AM
It's too cheesy. The trailer seemed to sum up the movie too. Arrogance leading to reflection leading to redemption and triumph. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Charlize Theron will Villain. How cool is that? by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 10:22:36 AM
Probably about as cool as Sharon Stone being a villain in Catwoman.
So when doe Big Willy's music video come out? by Darth_Nader	May 2nd, 2008 10:26:34 AM
Seriously, he's a movie whoring machine. Xenu is pleased!
Sorry, don't see it by waggy	May 2nd, 2008 10:29:11 AM
By the time this hits people are gonna see it as Iron Man lite (boozed up superhero grows a conscience). They even share the same gag of the guy's bullet bouncing off and hitting himself in the face. I just don't think there's much of a market for original film superheroes right now, since these movies tend to grow out of the buzz generated by the established fanbase (Incredibles being the obvious exception). Admittedly there were some laughs in that trailer though.

MPAA trouble for this seems a given. by Harry Weinstein	May 2nd, 2008 10:42:39 AM
I assume this is supposed to end up rated PG-13. From what I've heard about some of the content here, I don't know how you could even avoid an R, unless it all happens offscreen and is later described in very vague, non-specific terms, sort of like I'm doing here to avoid giving away spoilers. If you've been following this film here, you probably already know the spoilers I'm referring to. If you're really curious I'm sure you can Google them. I'm in the minority but I'm exited for this film. The descriptions of the tonal shifts that apparently irritated test audiences are actually what caught my attention. Plus, "drunk superheroes" is just a winning concept. It needs to be its own genre.
Jesus, way to spell shit, Weinstein.... by Harry Weinstein	May 2nd, 2008 10:45:37 AM
That's supposed to be "EXCITED", not "EXITED". And fuck you, Firefox spell checker. Just because it's spelled correctly doesn't mean it's the correct word. You're supposed to be smarter than me, goddammit.
Harry Weinstein by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 10:51:03 AM
Yeah there is no way a William Smith movie will be an R. I know what part your talking about, and everyone I know who says man that looks cool. I tell them about that and then all of sudden there smile goes away. Its like they can't believe William T. Smith doing such a thing. Probably gonna end up Extended and Uncut DVD.
What's the R rated part by greatmoose	May 2nd, 2008 11:05:45 AM
So what's the scene that might get it an R-rating? I can't find a mention of it on the tubes.

Fuck the fanboy feedback.
Harry Weinstein/Series7 by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 11:07:24 AM
I'm not sure what you're talking about but I assume it's the jail house head in the ass thing or whatever. I'm sure that was just something done for comedy. A similar gag was used a long time ago in The Mask.
I wouldn't pay 8 bucks to see it in the theater but . . . by adiehardfanwithalethalweapon	May 2nd, 2008 11:10:52 AM

It might be worth seeing for the whale tossing scene alone.
I'm Impressed by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 11:23:08 AM
People can crap on Will Smith all they want. He's perfect for this. And it looks like it has real potential. I get a real unconventional vibe watching this. A jagoff superhero movie will be refreshing.
based in london, and just heard about this movie a couple of day by Mr_X	May 2nd, 2008 11:27:02 AM
seriously amongst all the summer movies, just heard of this one. with iron man, batman, hellboy, hulk who would want to see a movie about a loser superhero when there's already an audience for waiting for real superheroes. my ex-girlfriend the superhero, how well did that do? no one wants a generic superheroe movie, there has to be a mythos behind it. movies. this will be a casuality it ain't looking good for will. summers already too crowded. wuld you rather watch hulk, batman, iron man, hellboy or hancock? indy or hancock? it#'s not nigh on my list. don't get me wrong, looks great, it's just come at the wrong time.

I remember hearing about a scene where Hancock has sex and ejaculates through the roof of his trailer or something; a la Scary Movie/Kevin Smith joke. Sounds like that might be the "R-rated" material they are talking about, or at least some of it. The original title was "Tonight He Comes" so take from that what you will.
I'm Impressed. by ivehadsex	May 2nd, 2008 11:44:15 AM
I'm betting this is going to be suprisingly huge just like I Am Legend. If it's as good as the trailer anyway. Wow, I thought it was supposed to just be a comedy.
Summer's Too Crowded? by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 11:44:24 AM
What kind of slack-jawed, slopped-foehead, half-brained, drinks-your-own-piss remark is that? How can a summer be too crowded with what we hope to be good movies. So if you're a judge at a dick sucking contest and twenty Victoria's Secret models are clamoring to be the first on your crotch, you're going to throw your arms in the air and walk away saying, "This dick sucking contest is too crowded. Only an idiot would want too much of a good thing."
Liked "The Kingdom," plus friend saw sneak of this two wks ago.. by Darth Sticky	May 2nd, 2008 11:47:10 AM
...she said there's a scene in the prison she'd actually pay money for just to see the finished special effects. I dug the fuck out of "The Kingdom" and I'm anxious to see Berg's take on the superhero genre. The only people who think this summer is too crowded with flicks are people who can't afford it. Fuck them.
MC-909 by greatmoose	May 2nd, 2008 11:47:12 AM
Ah, that makes sense (be funny as hell, too). I wish they'd kept the original title. Almost like Underdog: "I am coming, now."

Mr_X by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 11:50:44 AM
You're right about the release date. It seems Hancock will be competing with Hulk, The Happening, Get Smart, Wanted, and Wall-E. That's a lot of competition since all of these movies are released at about the same time. Now that I know that, I'm sure Wanted doesn't stand a chance, and it will probably be the same for Hancock. This would have been better as a winter or early spring release.

RE: Summer's Too Crowded? by Mr_X	May 2nd, 2008 11:58:51 AM
if there's a dick sucking contest, the first 10 are going to have a go, the remaining 10 not so much. the one that says "baby, i want cock.. hancock" is a definite no. sorry, but folks aren't going to see all the movies out this summer, they have other things to do, and other things to spend their money on ( in a credit crunch)not every will smith summer movie is a smash as wild wild west will testify to. And this summer, i think it's already lost.

Not everything will perform well over here but that's what staggered international release dates are for. Am I the only one that remembers summer's when you had ONE movie to look forward to? The summer of 1984 for instance. Ghostbusers, Temple of Doom, Search For Spock and Gremlins were it. That was your blockbuster summer release schedule. Four movies over four months. Today you get at least four movies in a single month. I count at least 16 big budget Hollywood event movies coming out this summer. Goddamned kids today don't know how good they have it.

Will Smith... by MJAYACE	May 2nd, 2008 12:25:48 PM
Is fairly admirable for what he has done over the years. Hard to belive this is the same guy who broke with "Parents just don't Understand" 20 years ago. However, now that he is fully immersed and intertwined with Scientology his career will start to head downhill as they control whatever independence and creative licesing brilliance he used to have. (E.G John Travolta and Tom Cruise) It will be interesting how this movie plays out. I think looks pretty good though and he has an amazing ability to bring in the audience right now.

Hancock by fassbinder79	May 2nd, 2008 12:36:31 PM
While the trailer doesn't fill me with very much confidence I trust Berg and Michael Mann. The Kingdom was a really strong movie that should have had a bigger audience and with the exception of Miami Vice anything that Mann touches is gold or at the very least will be provacative. Based on what I've read about the script for this film it sounds like it has the potential to be in the vein of early John Landis (which is a REALLY good thing in my opinion). Extreme tonal shifts have always appealed to me in movies. I would be pleased with this film if it tricked the audience into being a silly by the numbers action film only to turn into an intense and dark action film. If that happens I'll be stoked. I haven't seen Iron Man yet...But the differnce between that movie and this one is two fold as far as I'm concerned. One movie (Hancock) isn't taking itself very seriously and the other (Iron Man) appears to inappropriately use terrorism too lightly in establishing Stark's characters motivations. Again I haven't seen it yet...But this worries me. I'm all for dark shit...But it looks like the movie won't earn this narrative choice. My two cents. Again, to be fair I haven't seen it yet.
Hancock = Movies you'll like if your IQ is below 12 by Puddleglum	May 2nd, 2008 12:38:41 PM
I just don't see why everyone would suck this movie off. What exactly looks so "new" and "hilarious" people? Is it WIll Smith mugging and acting "too cool"? Is it because he's a slacker superhero that doesn't give a fuck about helping anyone - because that's admirable! I know, it must be those incredible jokes you saw in the trailers.

I admit that Will Smith had some talent. I had the cassette of that Parents Just Don't Understand album. I used to watch Fresh Prince (pre-syndication). I don't support Scientology, but whatever on that. My beef is with what I see on screen from Smith. And the guy has now been doing the same shtick on-screen for a decade. A FUCKING DECADE! It's one thing if you're a method actor, but he's just giving the same looks, the exact same dialog delivery and stupid smirks in EVRY FILM now. On top of that bullshit, the jokes I've seen for this film just aren't funny. It's insulting. And I pity the slugs who "can't wait to see this" horseshit.

What f-ing actor doesn't give the same performance every single time? Bruce Willis deviated with the M. Night stuff but otherwise he's always John McClane. Save for playing a retired insurance salesman and pre-1980 stuff, Jack Nicholson is ALWAYS Jack Nicholson. When he's not playing a down on his luck mobster opposite Johnny Depp, Pacino is always Pacino. Is there a non-Amish country Harrison Ford vehicle where he isn't looking at the camera with a shit eating grin? And other than his turn as a struggling stand up comedian, DeNiro has collected paycheck after paycheck for playing the exact same person. Every actor has a Sixth Sense, Witness, About Schmidt, King of Comedy and Donnie Brasco on their resume. Do you think people in the 60s were going to movies saying, "Oh Christ, we get to see John Wayne being John Wayne again."? Only a very select few actors and actresses have the ability to completely transform themselves in every role they play. Get over it. It's Will Smith in his usual mid-summer action blockbuster, he's going to be Will Smith. Who's he supposed to be, Urkel? After tossing a beached whale on a boat, "Do I do thaaaat?" Yeah, you f-ing haters would be appeased then, wouldn't you?
Herb. Herb West. Join me. And together we'll BOYCOTT HANCOCK by Puddleglum	May 2nd, 2008 01:09:37 PM
or don't. I don't even fucking care. I just think this movie looks unfunny and don't get why everyone wants to lap its shit up so readily.
Puddleglum by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 01:12:06 PM
I don't think that there's that many people who give a shit about this movie. It's just a slow, boring day on the talkbacks.
im telling you these trailers by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran	May 2nd, 2008 01:13:18 PM
have better action than all of the combined action in Superman returns. Thats enough for me.
Hawaiian Organ Donor by Puddleglum	May 2nd, 2008 01:13:37 PM
No, not Urkel. I just don't think this shit looks funny. And I'm tired of people giving actors who do the same shit everytime so much credibility. At least thmost of those other actors you mentioned can blend into roles OR have some slight variations on their acting. WIll SMith is totally ONE NOTE/ONE SMIRK/ONE "Nah. Oh NO YOU DIDN'!? As for Willis, I couldn't agree more. Which is why he is and will always be ONLY John McClaine to me. Will SMith can be funny, but he's not funny "just because" he is Will Smith acting like Will Smith. Go Carlton-dance yourself to the next showing of HanmouthfulofCock if that's how you want to spend your time and money, though. I'm sure there will be lots of chuckleheads surroundingyou who will enjoy it just as much.

Boycott Something of Real Importance by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 01:20:44 PM
Like that Wal-Mart in your hometown that's dismantling the economy, that moron in the White House who has no plan in place to fix the economy, car makers who have no real plans to increase fuel efficiency, corporations who are using third world countries as their personal dumping ground, the Chinese Olympics, and any news outlet that is only interested in keeping us stupid instead of well informed. I didn't think a movie was something you boycotted, I just thought you chose not to watch it.
Puddlegum's psychotic rantings... by Sidius	May 2nd, 2008 01:21:12 PM
..are actually really making want to see this film just so I can come back here and go on and on about how much I loved it. Then I can sit back and listen for the barely audible noise that signals his tiny head exploding and the end of his totally pointless and mis-directed life. Congratulations douchnozzle!! You don't like the film - I THINK WE FUCKING GET IT!!! Don't see it and leave the rest of us the FUCK ALONE!! www.hancockinpuddlegumsass.com

Hawaiian Organ Donor by Puddleglum	May 2nd, 2008 01:27:50 PM
I can't really argue with any of the things you mentioned. Fuck them all as they truly are FUCKING THINGS UP in this world. Sorry for the break from "psychotic rantings" you liek so much, Sidius. You can go back to your Hancock reacharound now.
Puddlegum by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 01:28:35 PM
I'm not going to pay to see this in some teenage-infested, a-hole overridden movie theater, I'm going to wait until it's out on video and I can rent it through Netflix. Christ, I have two home theaters just so I don't have to mingle with those snot-nosed mongrels they call teenagers these days. If Hancock turns out to taste like cock, I can turn it off after 20 minutes and go mow my lawn instead.
And For The Record by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 01:34:11 PM
I like Will Smith. I thought he was great in "Ali", superb in "Pursuit of Happyness" and he fits the bill in fending off alien invasions and robot revolutions.
Hawaiian Organ Donor by finky089	May 2nd, 2008 02:12:42 PM
pardon what might be seen as a potentially stoopid question, but you don't happen to live in Kauai do you? Cuz I'm goign to be there on vacation in a few weeks and need to figure out the best theater to see Indy IV in. Snot-nosed brats, be damned! thanks in advance.
Hawaiian Organ Donor and his boycotts..... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	May 2nd, 2008 02:13:25 PM
.....wholeheartedly agree with all that you said. Well said sir. (About the boycotts, not about enjoying Will Smith......fuck Will Smith-- okay, carry on.)
I hope this is pretty good. by greenstyle92	May 2nd, 2008 02:13:40 PM
When Will Smith is on his game, he's a force to be reckoned with. I just hope that this is played as the "VH1 Behind the Music" of Superhero-dom and not "Ha Ha, look at the silly black Superman!" joke. The former would be fresh, the latter would be racist. Based on that preview, it could go either way.
this movie WILL TASTE LIKE COCK, Hawaiian Organ Donor by Puddleglum	May 2nd, 2008 02:17:09 PM
Rotten cock dipped in toxic waste. The kind only to be found in the bathroom of Republican congressional bathroom. And, apparently in your local multiplex this July 4th weekend. What's more "American" than a shitfest blockbuster to throw your money away on? Go Capitalism! Will Smith RULES!! silly fuckers

Its not like will smith is tom cruise... the guy said he went to a few meetings about it (not surprising since a LOT of movie stars are into it) and said he respects it but its not for him. So why are you idiots acting like he's the new Ron Hubbard poster boy?
Hawaiian Organ Donor by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 02:43:36 PM
Whats wrong with the Chinese Olympics? Besides the fact that they are going to over take America as the world leader? I mean if you want to boycott sports, how about any sports player in the world that gets paid more then say $30,000? If anyone needs to be paid less its atheletes. I could justify around $100 a ticekt to some sporting event if i knew it were going to something usefull. Not aiding the payment of some cocky footballer's new expensive car. That and how about just ban golf altogther period.

Looks awesome.
Series7 and the Chinese Olympics by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 03:07:54 PM
I don't have anything against the Chinese people, but their leadership are amoral sacks of dripping cowshit. All the human rights abuses aside, you really only need to focus on one thing and one thing only: their policy of Internet site blackouts. Our mainstream media doesn't report real news but at the very least we can search out for it and discover the truth if we have the inclination. People in China on the other hand aren't permitted to search out information about what an iron fisted group of dissident murdering douchebags their leadership is. Good luck looking up the Tienanmen Square massacre if you live in Beijing. The Chinese people are a good lot. Industrious, hard working and all about what's best for the common good. But their leadership needs to be fed into a wood chipper. Concerning our athletes over here. They are all overpaid whining jagoffs who don't realize they are killing the spirit of competitive sport by demanding so much money that ticket prices are out of range of the working man. And Tiger Woods? That hypocritical motherfuck needs to dropped into a tank with ravenous piranha. If I was a nurse working a 36-shift and Tiger Woods or A-Rod were brought into the hospital bleeding to death, I'd let those m-fers die. The freaking nerve these a-holes have expecting services from the rest of us, especially in the case of the nurse who saves lives and makes squat to show for it. Tiger Woods makes more money every time he hits a golf ball and A-Rod makes more every time he's at the plate than I do in a year. I know this is a capitalist society but that's just bullshit. At some point a person needs to exhibit a little goddamned shame. And finky, I live in North Carolina so I can't help you picking out a cinema.
Hawaiian Organ Donor by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 03:18:05 PM
Haha I live in SC. Shitty state for movie theaters. But hey, there is not reason the Chinese need to be looking up information on the interweb? They need to spend all that precious time making my GREAT VALUE items! But dude, whats sad it that you know this movie is going to make money...it can't not make money. And those people that are going to make it hit are the same people that love dem some wal mart and there new mustang and single serving meals just as long as there isn't a good ball game on July 4th... well they can always TVio and strut around with there mega sweet $50+ Red Sox jersey on (for good luck of course). Man I think I just described my roomate actually? Well minus that trash part, he can't handle the trash schedule, if lived by himself he would probably just store the trash in the garage....next to his mustang.

Thanks, Hawaiian OD. You gave me a good laugh anyway.
Series 7 by finky089	May 2nd, 2008 03:23:29 PM
I think you just nailed who this movie appeals to and why it's scary that this one will do well at the BO and = a sequel. If these folks weild that much influence on our country, it's scary to think about how much they affect things like....ELECTIONS! Sometimes I relaly want to move to another country, but then realize there's a whole other bag of different issues to put up with wherever else I look at going. Maybe Australia is the place me me? Or I'll just exile myself to some small island inthe pacific.

Here's how it's going to play out by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 03:33:35 PM
This movie may be good, it may be garbage, I won't find out until it comes out on DVD. Netflix gets my $15 a month anyway so adding this to my queue isn't really a ringing endorsement from me to the studio that I approve of the movie if it turns out to be junk. And I'm less afraid of the people that turn out to see garbage movies on opening weekend than I am of the brain dead Neanderthals who turn out to vote and not only put the world's only talking chimpanzee in the highest office in the country but elect to keep him there.
That's twice Hawaiian by finky089	May 2nd, 2008 03:35:30 PM
that you've made me laugh out lout inthe same hour. the world's only talking chimpanzee kudos, my good man. Somewhere that allusion made Michael Jackson cream his jeans.
Hawaiian Organ Donor by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 03:42:58 PM
In all fairness to the typical American voter, we can't forget that at the last election, the Democrats best hope was John "I refuse to take a stand on even one single issue" Kerry. Christ, his question dodging shit is still a punchline today.

Herb, my man by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 2nd, 2008 03:52:43 PM
I couldn't agree more. I may be the most liberal man on the planet (no right angles in my house) but the Democrats all need a dunk in the shark tank too. Both parties are completely beholden to corporate interests. It's a good thing Jewish people don't eat pork because there wouldn't be any left with all the Congressional earmarking both parties do. We need sweeping reforms in this country that allow common folk to run for office because people that live in estates and light their cigars with a copy of Action Comics #1 are so out of touch with what you and I really need.
finky089 by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 03:59:52 PM
Yeah man, the whole leader thing is out of control. Smart people spend all there time trying to appeal to dumb people and just losing everyone in the process. Also man Wal Mart is the devil, I hate myself for going there, but in college it was the only place in town, they forced the other companies out. Now its just so damn close and I work so much I can only shop at night and its the only 24/7 place near by. But hey Hawaii is awesome, i was there a couple of summers ago I was suppose to go to Kuai, didn't make it though. Made it to Johnston Island!
Puddlegum... by Sidius	May 2nd, 2008 04:09:06 PM
I personally think the movie looks like a retread of a lot of super-hero garbage and that Will Smith is completely phoning this one in. Wasn't really planning to see it in theaters - till I realized it might make your head Linda Blair. The difference between you and I is that I'm not acting like a little cry-baby bitch about it. If my friends ask me if I'm interested in seeing it opening weekend I'll act like a normal human being and put together a coherent, non-insane reason as to why I don't. What I won't do is act like a stark raving lunatic and start screaming "BOYCOTT HANCOCK!", "FUCK WILL SMITH!" and "WILLSMITHPUT HISBALLSINMYMOUTHANDIGOTTA SAYIKINDAENJOYEDITALITTLE.COM! " at them. No one's forcing you to see the movie! (Or is Hancock the next scheduled movie for mandatory movie nights at the asylum? In which case - my bad.) Why the fuck do you give a rat's ass if anyone else does? Who the fuck died and left you the arbiter of all things tasteful? What makes you think anyone wants to make their decision to see a film based on your insane hijacking of a board for a fucking 30 second TRAILER!! Oh and 2 MORE THINGS... 1. There's a 50/50 chance Indy will suck more than this movie...fact. 2. My handle "Sidius" has nothing to do with George Lucas's (or as I not-so-lovingly call him "the hack's") fictional character Darth Sidious. I wasted 7 hours my life on his 3 shitty prequels - I'm not about to give him the pleasure.
Hawaiian Organ Donor by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 04:09:38 PM
You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, we will never be able to do anything about it as long as these jerkoffs are in office. BTW, I'm devastated to learn that you're from North Carolina. I had you pictured as a big, fat, wise old Samoan dude. Oh well, that'll teach me to mentally picture talkbackers. :)

In Superbad, McLovin had a driver's license from Hawaii and he was an organ donor. I should have gone with Woodchippin' Sharktank as that's where I want to fling most of society. And I'm in North Carolina by way of Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Sending Hancock to Jail by finky089	May 2nd, 2008 05:11:39 PM
yeah, i don't get that either Gotham. Maybe it makes sense (he's there by his own will "undercover"?) in the movie, but in the context of the trailer where they certainly didn't say anything liek that, it just didn't make sense. And the "cartoon" logic Rupee88 points out just seals the deal that this film will stink. Don't waste your money here, go see something decent liek Indy Iv or Iron Man or Dark Knight or freakin Made of Honor if that's what your woman wants to see.
Never saw Superbad, which is obvious now, I guess by finky089	May 2nd, 2008 05:12:51 PM

Top 10 superhero movies by strosmer	May 2nd, 2008 05:48:00 PM
Wow, not an easy list to create when you get down to it. In researching all the comic book movies that have ever been released, I found far more than I realized. RottenTomatoes has a top 100 list! Wikipedia also has a very comprehensive list. Please note that this particular top 10 list focuses specifically on superhero movies. Graphic novel adaptations are not included, nor are comic strip characters, or animated features. We're talking only about superheroes on film here. The two main criteria I based my ratings upon were spectacle and character. Here it is (this a repeat post from another TB that I entered too late): 1) Batman Returns 2) Superman 3) Batman Begins 4) Spider-Man 2 5) Batman 6) Superman II 7) Iron Man 8) Hulk 9) X-Men 2 10) Spider-Man Does Flash Gordon qualify as a superhero? If so, that nudges into the 6th spot, knocking Spider-Man out of the top 10.

Hancock looks like what Superman Returns should have been... by Jim Jam Bongs	May 2nd, 2008 08:37:18 PM
Nice to see here that I'm not the only one who immediately felt this way when I first saw the Hancock trailer. If Hancock succeeds at the box office, we may see another Superman movie that is more like Hancock. But to be honest, I think Warner may should consider replacing Bryan Singer and Brandon Routh. Not that there was anything wrong with Routh, per se, but he's just too associated and tainted by Superman Returns. If The Incredible Hulk does well, better than Hulk did, at the box office, then Warner may be more interested in completely rebooting the Supes franchise.
Hawaiian Organ Donor by Herb West	May 2nd, 2008 08:38:46 PM

my favorite part... by omarthesnake	May 2nd, 2008 09:54:25 PM
is the delusional knuckleheads who think Hellboy 2 will beat this at the box office. Really? what planet is this on? HB2 may be good -- though HB1 was only good casting-wise, the execution was lacking -- but this is a Will Smith Movie. It will beat the living shit out of hellboy. And heck, it doesnt look perfect, but it looks pretty good. like a more comical spin on the "Supreme Power" vision of how superheroes would be in the real world (now THAT is a comic i'd love to see turned into a movie. But I bet DC would ssssuuuuueee...)

The first shot of Hancock in the trailer did it for me. Flying along as he boozes up. This could be a pretty damned funny flcik. I don't expect it to be deep or meaningful. I expect it to be a fun flick, that's all. And can we get bans for the buttnuggets posting ten pages of repeated shit?

It looks like a pretty FUN movie. I dont think its attempting anything to revolutionize film, but the concept is interesting, and it looks FUN. What the fuck is wrong with all of you uptight dick weeds? They aren't attempting Citizen Kane, and the movie is far from looking like Shit.

fun movies by redkamel	May 3rd, 2008 04:27:14 AM
some people are smart enough that they instantly realize when they see bullshit inaccuracies, gaping plot holes, or nonsensical actions. This prevents us from enjoying "fun" movies, or as some call them, "dumb" movies. Like a kid free falling from thousands of feet, being stopped by an arm, then living. Or a several ton whale swung by its tail. That shit wouldnt even happen in Harry Potter the most magical world of all. I am unable to turn off my mind to stupidity when movies violate the world they trying to create. So please stop justifying crappy movies as "fun" movies (this goes for all "fun" justifications). This movie looks ok, might get a few good scenes (I look forward to a drinking and flying joke) but Will Smith+"edgy" idea not taken seriously+cartoony execution=movie for 15 year olds. Damn you Michael Bay.

That actually looked more like something I'd watch than I've seen from the previous trailers/teasers. I was afraid it was going to be Will Smith being drunk and belligerent the whole time! LOL
I like the whale tossing scene, myself. by TomBodet	May 3rd, 2008 07:01:02 AM
That's a blast.
Quicktime? by Dr. Hilarius	May 3rd, 2008 07:38:59 AM
Still buffering with broadband. Did QuickTime go retarded? Stopped trying to watch it a quarter of the way through.
The superhero comedy is always a bad idea. by rbatty024	May 3rd, 2008 08:31:55 AM
They just about always bomb. Although Will Smith is enough of a draw that this film will do well. But that doesn't mean it's any good. Most superhero films are somewhat tongue in cheek anyway, so a comedy making fun of them is kind of redundant. The last good one was the Adam West Batman movie and that was forty years ago.
Agreed...Berg for Superman by BNITT	May 3rd, 2008 08:43:22 AM
The effects in this film are better than Superman Returns.
Will Smith is morphing into Eddie Murphy by YackBacker	May 3rd, 2008 09:10:26 AM
PLUTO NASH calling? Come on, Will, you don't need to make these loud, stupid movies, do you? You're rich enough that you can do anything you want. This is attention-grabbing nonsense.
I also gave up watching it... by CaptainBass	May 3rd, 2008 09:25:37 AM
Streaming vid's suck balls. Anyway, I think it looks (dare I say it) fun. It's clearly not trying to be a serious hero movie so maybe some people ought to lighten up! Especially PuddleGlum who is by far the biggest douche I've seen on these TB's in a while...
the teaser made it seem like a sfx comedy by zooch	May 3rd, 2008 10:41:49 AM
aka box office poison. This trailer makes it seem more like a real superhero movie aka box office gold. which one is it? it's hard to tell.
Face it Puddlgum.. by Amadeo Zeller	May 3rd, 2008 10:49:58 AM
Your Don Quixote-ish like obsession with Will Smith translates into one thing: "That nigger is too goddamn sucessful for my taste - He needs to fail".
Why is this movie offending so many of you? by Lemming	May 3rd, 2008 01:59:32 PM
I think it looks like an interesting spin on the superhero model. Have you all got a psychosis of some kind?
Looks good. I'll see it. by wackybantha	May 3rd, 2008 03:05:57 PM
'nuff said.
Uncle Phil and Carlton by Mr_X	May 3rd, 2008 03:31:14 PM
if it had these two i might have watched it. nah not really. as per someone elses suggestion. it would have gone down better if it was dave chappelle. maybe statewise.. globally no so sure
You know, it really doesn't look that terrible. by jimmay	May 3rd, 2008 04:23:07 PM
Of course, Will Smith to me instantly inspires bad memories of Wild Wild West and the atrocity that is I, Robot. So there's no way to go but up from here as far as I'm concerned.
How do you know Theron is the baddie-? by TomBodet	May 3rd, 2008 04:27:55 PM
I didn't get that from the preview anyways. not that it matters-
General note: Don't be that guy. by JumpinJehosaphat	May 3rd, 2008 05:30:57 PM
Don't be the guy who argues about physics in science fiction movies. Just don't. It makes you a douche. Well, not a literal douche. That would be impossible.
feel like i saw the youtube version of this movie by BurgerKing	May 3rd, 2008 05:44:10 PM
As in taking every key scene of the movie and putting it into a five minute montage. Wayyyy too much info Hancock. However, on a positive note, the ridiculous plot that the early reviews complained about doesn't seem to be apparent here AT ALL makes me doubt those reviews, or they did a major overhaul on the movie.
what im trying to say is by BurgerKing	May 3rd, 2008 05:45:08 PM
Yeah, I guess I'll see it.
Read Berg's NY Times interview about this by Rocklover79	May 3rd, 2008 05:50:03 PM
Sounds like they're still editing shit out of this thing. The statutory rape stuff has apparently been cut out.
did they leave the Geraldo Rivera stuff in-? by TomBodet	May 3rd, 2008 06:18:28 PM
-he's always interesting as an unbilled cameo type-
dark knight wont kill it. by misnomer	May 3rd, 2008 06:29:38 PM
what youre not understanding, is that outside of the geek community, 'batman begins' wasnt all that appreciated really. nearly everyone Ive spoken to essentially said that it was ok, a bit boring, and not as good as the 80s ones. Dark Knight will underperform. Indy will reign victorious if its not too much worse than Crusade.
Does ANY-MANIA last more than a weekend anymore? by Drath	May 3rd, 2008 07:21:14 PM
Seriously, with Speed Racer, Indiana Jones, and Narnia 2 all coming out this month, and Wall*E coming out next month (and shit, Hulk is coming out too, isn't it?), do you really think Iron Man will still be the talk of the town in July? Furthermore, this'll be seen as a Will Smith movie before it's seen as a simply another Super Hero movie. That said, I think this'll come and go like My Super Ex-Girlfriend. It's got about that much buzz as far as I'm aware.
Popcorn Flick Madness - Mom wold be proud by Shub-Wankalot	May 3rd, 2008 09:23:43 PM
The cinematic stroke job, Hancock, takes no prisoners, and belches the perfect goods that you want in a damn summer popcorn flick. Absolutely bad ass!
Batzilla by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 3rd, 2008 09:51:44 PM
Thanks for the props. I'm a stream of consciousness kind of guy. I have so much pent up rage in me it's a miracle I can keep my hands steady long enough to type the vitriol that's parading around in my head like a national steroid abuser awareness rally. And if I was elected to public office I'd last all of 15 minutes. After my swearing in I'd be found dead after having stabbed myself 30 times while falling down a elevator shaft that happened to have an alligator pit at the bottom.
Quicktime? Looks like flash to me. by SG7	May 3rd, 2008 11:58:39 PM
You do know that "quicktime" is a brand and not a technology? The technology is H.264/AVC which Apple really has nothing to do with? It's like saying you're watching BSG in "Glorious Sony" or something equally dumb.
I love Hollywood by Reelheed	May 4th, 2008 05:07:49 AM
I can see it now... "Lets make another superhero film. People seem to like those. Suggestions?" "Hey here's a twist... how about a BLACK superhero? Didn't see that one coming did ya? Bang!" "Woo slow down killer. Problem. No one will buy that. What - he's black and heroic? No way." "Hmm good point." "How about this - a BLACK, DOUCHEBAG, DRUNK superhero! Pow!" "Shazam!" "Kerching!" "Get Will Smith on the line... Hey Willy baby. Got something for you. A AFRO-AMERICAN, TROUBLED, LONELY-GUY superhero flick. How does it end? Well he meets a WHITE, RICH, FAMILY-GUY who helps him turn it around. You in? Dude that is fucking SWEET." That trailer really sold it to me.
Hancock going to jail....... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	May 5th, 2008 09:30:43 AM
Did nobody fucking catch the line where Bateman says, "You need to go away so people have time to miss you," or something to that effect. You fucking idiots-- Hancock goes to jail willingly as punishment for something he did that went wrong and then he gets out and has that press conference that he will be a good hero for the city from now on. This is all brough on by this P.R. guy Bateman. How fucking dense are you monkeys? And this movie looks like shit to me and I could give a fuck about Will Smith.
Rupee88 by Wee Willie	May 5th, 2008 09:45:13 AM
So your objection to this "flying superhero man" movie is that the kid would logically have broken in half after the guy hurls him 1000 feet in the air... Right...
I JUST SCREENED HANCOCK by smartkuz	May 7th, 2008 11:58:21 PM
Hey all! Never had the occasion to post on here before, but I have been a long time fan. I just left one of the first screenings of Hancock, so now I have the occasion! I won't spoil anything (unless requested to do so) but let's just say this. Its bad. Real bad. The most apropos comment from the peanut gallery... "Wish I could get those two hours back!" The novelty card of an apathetic superhero is pretty cool, for a few seconds. Then the plot gets lost, we fail to form any emotional attachments, our proclivity toward willing suspension of disbelief gets tested to the limit of absurdity... then it all ends in a predictable anti-climax. Just bad. Don't get caught up in the hype on this one. I saw the trailer and salivated like the rest of you... but that quickly turned to a comatose drool once I got in. If anyone wants the guts of the movie, let me know. Cheers!
