Nothing fun ever happens in Michigan. Though I did get to see a Juno and Enchanted back in October before they came out...

Want to Join Us For PRINCE CASPIAN at Drafthouse South? by Quake II	May 11th, 2008 04:03:02 PM
Not for any amount of maoney. Thanks anyways. Chronicles Of Narnia was a Zzzzzzzzzzzz-fest.
CGI battle hiatus.... by Quake II	May 11th, 2008 04:25:51 PM
Is it just me or have we had too many movies since Lord Of The Rings that features huge battlefields filled with CGI soldiers doing battle in an epic struggle for survival? I have no emotional investment in these scenes. They are numbing. Can we have a 5 year hiatus before Hollywood produces another epic sword-swinging rubbery animated battle scene?
X-Files trailer by Reynard Muldrake	May 11th, 2008 04:35:26 PM
Has it leaked yet? Is it playing with any film this weekend? I see it's coming to xfiles.com at midnight, but I can't wait that long! Oh yeah, sweet screening. I love Austin.
Quake II... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 11th, 2008 04:35:50 PM
That made me chuckle. Seriously, it did. And, I agree. I also love all of the people who get psyched for said battles, fully ignoring the fact that this is a PG film. Puh-lease.
Happy Mother Fuckers day by joeelliott	May 11th, 2008 04:39:42 PM
Speed Racer still rules
Actually, gotham night... by jarjarsjockstrap	May 11th, 2008 04:39:57 PM
I believe Gremlins had the big CG battles...
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THIS MOVIE by dekionplexis	May 11th, 2008 04:55:36 PM
Pull the plug on this bullshit.
Is that a sexual reference? by IAmMrMonkey!	May 11th, 2008 05:08:05 PM
You know... "Hey folks. Harry and Yoko here. Wanna join us for a... (wink wink) PRINCE CASPIAN at the Drafthouse South? Bring some drinks and some ice because it's going to get real hot real quick. And, if you've got plenty of stamina, perhaps we can try a... (wink wink) SILVER CHAIR afterwards?"
Lion, Witch, Wardrobe sucked by kwisatzhaderach	May 11th, 2008 05:08:54 PM
It was like an amateur version of Lord of the Rings. Truly dreadful.
This Movie WIll Flop And Here Is Why: by IAmMrMonkey!	May 11th, 2008 05:15:36 PM
(1) People went to see the first because almost everyone in the world has read or heard of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. Prince Caspian is less well known. (2) People have seen the first one and, as Kwisatzhaderach pointed out, it was like an amateur version of Lord Of The Rings (although I wouldn't go so far as to label it 'truly dreadful'. Just mediocre). It doesn't matter if they've made this movie darker and more adult, the first one wasn't brilliant and the public will remember that. (3) People are getting tired of all these big budget attempts to recapture the LOTR spark. Look at all the recent failures in this area (The Darkness Is Rising, The Golden Compass etc) (4) I said so. I'm always right.
yeh... how do you get there from Blackpool, Lancashire??/ by Mysterious Yobo	May 11th, 2008 05:17:59 PM

Mr Monkey you chose 2 bad examples by Mysterious Yobo	May 11th, 2008 05:20:44 PM
Seeker cost 20 million to make and The Golden Compass made money overseas.
Looks better than Speed Racer by Ashok0	May 11th, 2008 05:23:26 PM
And those new X-Files spots with DD and GA are friggin' AWESOME
Looks as bad as the first but I bet its makes more than SR! by captboulder	May 11th, 2008 05:38:50 PM
In fact, Horton Blow...whatever made more than SR. Shame that american kids are stuck in a holding pattern just like parents. Where the adventurous, curious nature of people? Why is ppl playing it safe when it come a simple movie like SR? I had a choice to go see SR(with my nephew) or Redbelt. I picked Redbelt because I wanted to see someting I knew w/o a doubt was gonna be awesome and everybody NEEDS to see it because it was great! I'll see SR tomorrow when the kids are in school.
Yobo by IAmMrMonkey!	May 11th, 2008 05:42:36 PM
That may well be true but did either make enough money to ensure their sequel gets made? I think not.
1300 years have passed in Narnia,, but in their world... by DarkCouncilus	May 11th, 2008 05:52:48 PM
There are thousands of pervs making websites with a countdown feature for the 18 birthday of the actress that plays Lucy.... "mmmm, look how her hands hold the bow, mmm.."
MrMonkery some people think otherwise by Mysterious Yobo	May 11th, 2008 06:04:46 PM
canny remember wether it was chud or shh that said that because TGC had reached 300 mil box office it may get a sequel depending on dvd sales and seeker should be profitable enough.

having said that (twice apparently through no fault of mine) by Mysterious Yobo	May 11th, 2008 06:08:10 PM
http://www.the-numbers.com/dvd /charts/weekly/thisweek.php TGC was released this week on dvd and the numbers suck.
could everyone on aicn please say a prayer for gene colan? by bacci40	May 11th, 2008 07:47:48 PM
he is apparently very ill...i dont know if i can take another comic book giant dying this year
hey harry by Silverglade	May 11th, 2008 08:18:37 PM
Despite all the bashing of Narnia here, I just wanted to say I like you a hell of a lot for simply having these events and making them possible. I can't go, but I like that there is an event out there to begin with. I hope one day I can join one.
ya this movie looks like a direct artistic rip off by mattforce7	May 11th, 2008 08:25:15 PM
and ya sure weta is doing the special effects and what not, not the cg, but still, LOTR pretty much coined large epic CG battle and did it well, but now every god dman movie has to have the same camera movements and evrything, its getting on my fucking nerves
I pretty much never by kafka07	May 11th, 2008 08:35:53 PM
want to see Prince Caspian
No. by I Dunno	May 11th, 2008 09:14:04 PM

"I still had chills run up and down my spine" by leobloom	May 11th, 2008 10:24:33 PM
Harry's hyperbole makes me want to kill myself with a million sharp knives.
Prince Caspian was the worst book out of the Chronicles by Galactic	May 11th, 2008 10:56:58 PM
Hopefully we can just get this one over with and move on to some of the better books....
OH YESSSSSSSS! by Jawa 007	May 11th, 2008 11:04:07 PM
I'M SO BRAH BAH!!!!!!!
im excited! C.S. Lewis is the shit! by Brian_De_Man	May 11th, 2008 11:22:44 PM

Man this talkback is RAGING! People must be excited! by Doctor Zoidberg	May 11th, 2008 11:24:16 PM
Now if you excuse me, I will be off to bed.
Raging talkback doesn't equal successful film by AntoniusBloc	May 11th, 2008 11:54:10 PM
That Oliver Stone George W. Bush movie talkback was certainly raging, and i think it already can be scientifically proven that the movie will suck and tank at the box office. Also, I think we learned not to overestimate the power of AICN when, despite its extreme hype for King Kong, even with PJ directing, it pretty much flopped. On the flip side, the first Narnia film did great at the box office with virtually no hype from AICN, and obviously no love from the cynical fanboy crowd.
AntoniusBloc, you could've used Speed Racer as an example, too by leobloom	May 12th, 2008 12:10:37 AM
Hyped here (excepting Capone) and that fucker tanked just slightly.
Prrreeeeenzzz Gaazzzzzpiiaan by J-Dizzle	May 12th, 2008 01:45:02 AM
What the hell happened to his accent?
Nah thanks AICN, I'm fine by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	May 12th, 2008 06:43:48 AM
think I'll wait for dvd.
No. by palewook	May 12th, 2008 08:19:13 AM
I'll keep that 2 hours of life for something more important.
So unlike everyone else here, by Sith Witch	May 12th, 2008 08:49:52 AM
I absolutely LOVED TLTWTW, and Prince Caspian can't come fast enough! It's a pity so much bile has to be spewed forth on this site all the time. Such bitter, bitter folk...
Any idea when Battlefield Earth 2 is coming out? by strosmer	May 12th, 2008 12:10:33 PM
Anyone?
its ok by mattgood	May 12th, 2008 01:08:23 PM
I watched this film a couple weeks ago and thought it was not bad. I did not see the first one but i was surprised how violent it was for as family film.
re: mattgood by AudioKarateKid	May 12th, 2008 02:17:45 PM
That's because it had a "Christian message." Pointless violence is A-OK with most people as long as it is backed by "good Christian values." Just look at the Bible, it's chock full of it.
Does the price of admission include a blowjob from Harry? by Nate Champion	May 12th, 2008 03:52:52 PM
That would actually be more enticing than suffering through this piece of CGI shit.
What? Where's the Narnia animation, Harry? by Drath	May 12th, 2008 04:21:13 PM
You skipped it after Speed Racer and went straight to Indy! No offense, but I think Narnia is going to clean Speed's clock, and I'm kinda sorry it's not getting singled out in the Harry Summer movie cameo series you got going! BTW, looking forward to a "Why So Serious?' animation when The Dark Knight gets closer.
