GEEK THE F' OUT!!! Greatest INCREDIBLE HULK Trailer They Could Have Every Made Ever!!!!

First!! by Han Cholo	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:50:31 AM

Second? by Han Cholo	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:50:53 AM
Damn, first second ever.
Anyway, trailer looks awesome by Han Cholo	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:51:21 AM
I'm gonna see this definitely.
Oh RLY? by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:55:01 AM
Ya RLy! hulk smash!!!!!!!!
what was so cool about that? by chaseguy17	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:55:05 AM
Just seemed like a shorter version of the normal trailer. This movie seems to be spelled out in the trailers, and in my opinion (without actually seeing the thing) it looks rather generic. Looks like your typical Banner in hiding, fights military guys...but at the end gets caught by cheap shot. is imprisoned. new monster made...military needs his help...he fights new monster and kills it...and of course doesn't turn himself in and goes into hiding. possibly finds cure...but decides not to take it...because of how everyone he loved might have been killed if he got rid of the "gift" he was given. something stupid like that. I'd say that sums up the film...(without seeing it of course).
dont get excited about it chaseguy17 by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:56:57 AM
and remember kissing is just swapping saliva, and fucking is other bodily fluids
10th! by Live.	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:57:39 AM
I shall recapture my "FIRST!" glory soon!
Mr. X by chaseguy17	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:58:50 AM
Don't get me wrong...I could still see myself enjoying it. I hope i'm proven wrong and the trailers haven't spilled out what would seem to be a VERY VERY simpe plot. I don't like how the trailers seems to show each stage of the plot (except the conclusion of course). Pretty much makes everything expectable. Of course I hope I'm proven wrong.
Are Marvel trailers going to give away the entire movies in trai by happybunni	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:03:17 AM
Usually if you see something that looks big in a movie trailer, it has little to do with the last half of the actual movie. But Marvel seems to be giving it all away now. How awesome would the Iron Monger VS Iron Man fight have seemed if we didn't literally see it coming? Same with this. Granted it's just a few seconds, but that's enough to take away the "WOW!" factor of seeing the actual movie.
unionJACKass.webs.com by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:06:43 AM
i like to do to the double and fuck my sexy lady friend in the cinema whilst watching the hulk and do it whilst wearing my Mexican wrestlers mask. torrent that cam uploaders! Not really sure what the fascination is with the hulks cock is though. is this the new aicn saying like damm you Micheal bay or kurt Russel laughing? " i want to see the hulks cock!" doesnt really have the same ring to it. Unless it is of course a massive green cock ring.
old tv show intro by LUZER	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:07:21 AM
pretty slick
Nothing new.. by LockesLOSTkidney	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:10:16 AM
There's nothing in this trailer that isn't in the worldwide cinema trailer. So what's the big deal? I'm looking forward to the Hulk as much as the next fairly interested guy..but there's nothing particularly enlightening about this trailer as far as I can see.
Awesome!! by RedwingsHoolihan	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:10:47 AM
I just have to be patient and wait three days for the kick-ass screening. I might freeze myself like Eric Cartman.
on a serious note by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:11:05 AM
the clips i've seen of this movie in all the trailers and bits out there , make me think this movie is going to be awesome and the one that marvel should have put out a couple of years ago. it was genius to have aspects of the tv series as a basis for this movie. i just hope that cgi becomes better over the next couple of years that we could have an intelligent hulk speaking throughout the movie. anyhow.. mustn't get my hopes up too much. i still think this movie will do really well
HARRY! Why was that so amazing to you? by kinetickoala	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:12:31 AM

Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:16:50 AM
Damn You Michael Bay
check out the intro to the tv series for comparision by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:17:48 AM
http://tinyurl.com/ysyebh it is very cool!
by Dude_Diggler	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:18:56 AM
And harry is now officially an idiot
I think... by JethroBodine	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:24:07 AM
:::whispers quietly to everyone but Harry, as to not startle him:::: I think Harry had a MPAA funded LO BO TO MY a few weeks back insted of weight loss surgery. Now he is finally COMPLETELY uninhibited to LOVE everything thats on the screen without question, regardless of whether or not it's of merit, originality, or quality.
and that hulk intro was much better then the spidey one by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:26:19 AM
http://tinyurl.com/6yx2bg who the hell can remember that tune!
Did I miss something? by Fleet	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:26:33 AM
There wasn't anything special about that at all... Harry might have a newfound love and appreciation for all things now that his life is slowly getting back on track - But that was pretty much the same old tired shit they've been peddling for the Hulk from the beginning...
You know, I come to this site now and then... by kuldan	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:26:46 AM
...and I've learned that when Harry gets reeeally excited about something, he is, once again, blowing it waaaay out of proportion (just like my drawn out spelling of particular words) and totally over-hyping it. It's over-enthusiasm like this that makes so many people begin to hate movies. There's no surprise when your expectations are set too high. Very rarely do any movies ever live up to them (except, lately, the "Lord of the Rings" films).
So they've remade an episode of the TV show...and we're excited? by Gabba-UK	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:29:33 AM
At least with the Ang Lee version (which I quite liked and don't fucking care who knows it) we were given a new take and a very good visual style. You might not have liked it but then again a film that pleases everyone would A) be boring as fuck and B) most likely end up looking like this one. Colour me unimpressed so far. Hope Im wrong 'cos I likes me some Hulk action but these trailers aren't making me geek out in any way.
Gabba-UK you lost me when you said at least the ang lee version by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:34:58 AM
after that i fucking went blind. so harrys happy about this trailer, and everyone isnt well what a miserable bunch of cunts you all are. whether its a collective * meh* or a " fucking a!" why so serious?
Mr_X, my opinion on Lee's version irrelevant... by Gabba-UK	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:43:29 AM
but I think we can all agree that this trailer is very 'meh' for lack of a better term. Plus Harry's new found enthusiasm for all things average is the reason why many here are happy to read his reviews but take no notice of them as critiques of movies.
CHEQUE CLEARED! by UMAGA	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:46:40 AM
Hulk animation in 5..4..3..2..
Noobs by Laughing Irishman	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:51:26 AM
Apparently, all but three of you missed the point. What rocked Harry's socks wasn't the intro itself but in the way it was done, like the Old School TV show. That was very GEEKtastic. Hence the damned Headline to the article. Pay Attention Class.
I really liked the 1st one... by WelcoMatt	Jun 2nd, 2008 02:54:48 AM
...though this looks pretty kool! Wish DC did more movies. I really like their universe much better. They should really focus on bringing Vertigo series to the Big and Small screen!!!
But was it good enough to elicit "tears of joy"? by blindambition238	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:00:59 AM

coming to cbs hulk the next generation by Orionsangels	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:06:20 AM

Did Harry post the right videos? by Gilkuliehe	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:08:18 AM
Cuz I honestly can't tell what was so different in those trailers from the old ones, as to give such an impact on Harry. I'm going with what Laughing Irishman said, but if that's true, well, Harry's intro still has like a fifty hundred hyperboles too many.
This dosen't look as good as Ang Lee's Hulk by pokadoo	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:10:00 AM
But we will see.
SO OLD...been showing this in the UK for the last month by satman83	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:12:49 AM
Oh and yes they have been...but with no cheessy America voice over...thanks fuck
MCMLXXVI by Grrrr....	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:18:13 AM
Seriously... can you leave it the fuck alone already. Your inane "Damn Michael Bay" is getting real fucking old. Get out of your moms basement and get a life.
And the trailer... by Grrrr....	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:20:03 AM
...wasn't that great...
Should have used Gamma Bomb and Rick Jones by messi	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:20:43 AM
No Rick Jones = No care
Harry by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:25:59 AM
Stop talking crap. Please.
Damn you Micheal Bay will never get old by i kick tits	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:26:56 AM
never
Gabba-UK by Grrrr....	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:27:00 AM
I also liked Ang Lee's Hulk. I don't own the DVD but it wasn't so bad as some of the retards here like to bash it. At least it tried something new. This Hulk I predict will go well at the start but then all the basement dwellers will start crying and going on about Hulk not green enough, nipples and flames... Good gawd some of you will never be happy...
i kick tits by Grrrr....	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:28:03 AM
...Right... I would like to kick you somewhere too...
Agree on the gamma bomb and Rick Jones! "I'm Rick Jones, bitch!" by Steve Rogers	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:29:32 AM
I have tentative hopes for this one as I think Norton is perfect casting for Banner. Spot on. However I do always feel a bit let down that the movies throw away the fantastic set piece of the gamma bomb explosion. Yeah, it's a bit '60s but so what? Update it! Imagine how tense that could be, the scene with the countdown and Bruce trying to save Rick and the saboteur not shutting off the bomb. Awesome stuff - tense, nail-biting, and it culminates in a gigantic fucking explosion! Banner just sitting in a chair is boring (I don't care if Bill Bixby did it). Not sure yet whether it will be more boring/dumber than Ang Lee's 'standing in front of a doohickey' origin though.
i have mixed feelings about this by captainbritain	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:35:35 AM
as the old adage goes, how could a film by the kid behind the sequel to the transporter be better than an ang lee flick?!?! it does look promising tho.
Use a dictionary by Lloytron	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:37:30 AM
Look up the word 'Incredible'. It does not mean 'average'. Whoo its The Average Hulk.
After the past trailer and clip blitz this is looking pretty goo by KillaKane	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:37:33 AM
Really pleased that they've alligned this Hulk movie with the 70's TV show, even better to hear that classic theme. Loved the action clips, this could be another Iron Man, I hope so as the Hulk has the potential for a truly ass-kickin franchaise.
Why is this better than the others? by SUPERJIM	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:37:42 AM
I just don't get it. Or agree.
Looks good to me by Franklin T Marmoset	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:45:36 AM
The Hulk. Good. Ed Norton. Good. Liv Tyler. Good. William Hurt. Good. Crazy as shit Louis Leterier ludicrous action shenanigans. Great! I'm looking forward to this one quite a bit. Not as much as Hellboy 2, maybe, but I reckon it could be a lot of fun. Also, it will make all the CGI whiners pop a vein and post long, angry rants about shaders and whatnot. Those posts are always funny to read.
Hmm, a hommage to the old TV-show by Roderich	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:50:19 AM
with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferringo i presume? I did not see that, nor did many people outside the US, so your excitement is, er, confusing for us poor fellows...
Harry, I've gotta say... by Kirbymanly	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:57:00 AM
This most likely seems a bit better than the trailers they're been showing due to nostalgia reasons than anything else. I grew up with The Hulk t.v. show as well but the trailer is just rehashed bits from older versions with a "people in their 30's will get this" kick.
The Incredible Hulk looks Incredibly boring by warphoenix	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:59:57 AM
Why must superheroes movies have the heroes fight 'evil' versions of themselves again and again? E.g. Spiderman vs Venom, Iron Man vs Iron Man mk1, Hulk vs 'super soldier experiment gone haywire'. MARVELous!
What the hell, I've seen all this already by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:12:43 AM
except for that cheesy ass voice-over.
I can't believe Hulk Redux looks as SHITTY as the 1st. by Pixelsmack	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:21:20 AM
I mean does Hollywood just NOT get Hulk? This looks as shitified as the first floppy tit they dumped on us.
Homage my ass... by blckmgk13	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:21:53 AM
especially since only the you tube version worked, it seemed like a fan dubbed/edited trailer made to look corny. If I saw that in the theatre regardless of the nostalgic factor that maybe the geek projectionist gets and one other fat dude in the audience would appreciate, the rest of the world would be, WHAT THE SHIT WAS THAT?
that just instantly made me 9 years old again by ian216a	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:32:28 AM
And that was just the funky lab chair and the green crosshair light. Took me back nearly 30 years to the first time I saw them. Very cool.
Still doesn't look like the HULK by FILMFUNK	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:33:33 AM
The movie looks great but I really don't like the Last shot of him walking towards camera flewing his muscles like he's totally aware of his stature which looks more like a Pro Bodybuilder? Maybee they were going for the Lou Feringo look coz he was just a green painted Body Builder but the comic book HULK is as wide as he is tall! really Huge arms, really wide neck, really obvious in stature and you can guess who it is just from looking at a shilouette!!! They seemed to 'get' the look in the concept art but haven't followed it through into the movie unless it's just that one shot and they've fixed it. Anyway, I still can't wait!
Is it true.... by KnightEternal	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:50:26 AM
that Ed norton has distanced himself from this film now? or was that jus gossip?
No Rick Jones = fail by messi	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:10:35 AM
Rick Jones was the heart of the Hulk's character. So making it an experiment rather than an accident born out of nobility changes everything.
on another tangent by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:14:15 AM
i have been waiting to post my thoughts on Indy 4, as the first time I saw it I was on acid and felt conflicted. I realised many if not all of the faults many posters have accused it of were right there on the screen. I therefore went back straight, and I gotta tell ya, apart from the monkey swing, I felt it flowed much better. Although I love the phrase 'nuked the fridge' I actually bought it more the second time. Heck, even the 'three drops' played better. I am going one more time on thursday and I will then post my definitive review. I just hope it holds up or(pray) gets better.
back to this topic, I usually understand Harry's love by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:17:26 AM
But WTF Harry, I was expecting one kickass trailer.
Harry you need to calm down, think of your health by barnaby jones	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:25:07 AM
This trailer wasn't any different to the others.
Err...that was lame. F(gunshot)ing lame. by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:34:14 AM
And that final fight scene still looks cheesy as hell. I hope that is still "work in progress"...
Hulk's got an awkward walk by Lance Rocke	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:34:35 AM
Is it just me? Every time I see that animation of him walking toward the camera, he looks stiff, like a marionette. Running looks good. Walking? Not so much.
can somebody explain? by kungfuhustler84	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:38:52 AM
first video didn't work. the second one did. was the second one the same thing as the first but on youtube? was that second video what Harry was so excited about?
yeah kungfuhustler, I hope the top ones different by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:41:51 AM
otherwise it was the most pointless cool news ever.
Why Was That The Best Trailer? by LaserPants	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:46:15 AM
I actually thought the last one looked better. Either way, this looks really good. I liked the part where he's lookin' at Liv Tyler, and then the machines green light pushed her out of the frame. Like, "HERES YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND, BILL BIXBY (er,. I mean, David, that is to say Bruce Banner)!!! THE GREEN LIGHT OF THE HULKS RAMPAGING ANGER!!!" I think there should be a scene where HULK, angry and horny, rapes a Tiger, Buffalo, or Elephant. It would also be great if when he transformed, he was buck naked instead of wearing purple shorts. Imagine all the jokes you could have as he ran down the street and all the women sighed and smiled or gasped. You'd also have to shoe-horn in some stereotyped hyper flamboyant gay men doing the same.
whats with Hulks stiff-ass walk. by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:50:21 AM
Robocop had a more natural walk, and he had a carrot up his ass.
Yeah, not Incredible at all. by GivenToFly	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:54:11 AM
I love comic book movies and will give most of them a chance, but this does not excite me one bit. The fact that the filmakers are just pretending the last one never happened really gives me the shits. It was far from perfect but it shows that these studio's will stab their filmmakers in the back the second it starts to underperform or gets a negative reaction form some corners. Also, I once thought Ed Norton was cool but now all I see is a skinny, my-shit-don't-stink prima donna who needs a serious reality check.
So that was ALL. by kungfuhustler84	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:55:15 AM
I got the little homage, but it's the same material from the other trailers spliced a different way, with an incredibly corny voice over. I'm excited for this movie, but that was not exciting. The whole point of cinema is to tell a story without necessarily relying on using words, so how is a trailer with a voice over superior in terms of impact to one that can tell the same story without simply resorting to exposition? In my opinion, that trailer was created to tailor to the less intelligent audiences who can't simply deduce the basic plot any other way than having it spelled out for them. Weak.
The other trailers were better by OBSD	Jun 2nd, 2008 05:59:44 AM
This one leads the viewer by the hand through the Hulk's back story narrated by the "In A World" guy. Yawn
..........CARTOONY MONSTERS SUCK by Missing Dink	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:01:18 AM
If that stupid villain monster didn't look so ridiculous this movie could be a lot better.
I know we are a rare breed, by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:01:29 AM
but I thought Ang Lee's hulk was sublime. I know it's hated but quite frankly the visual uniqueness and Nolte's performance blow me away everytime. I have had a projector for three years, and outside of Lawrence of Arabia and 2001, Hulk is my most viewed film.
By the way, my fiance by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:04:39 AM
is soooooo sick of Ang Lee's Hulk. But then again she falls asleep in 90% of films.
Why should we geek the fuck out? HARRY?? by Windowlicker74	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:07:05 AM
Jusst an average trailer... Harry you need a life real bad..
Now, if I had made this movie............. by Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:09:49 AM
.........the Abomination would show up after Banner had already been captured. The team of Army surgeons and physisists, attempting to isolate Banner's transformative ability, accidentally kill him, and the Abomination goes on to destroy the fucking world, which does seem to be his only motivation. All in the first half hour. Then another two hours of nothing but TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION, Abomination-style. No plot, no hope for a happy ending, no last-minute miracle, just mayhem. I know that some members of this board can relate to that.
that's right Harry... by kungfuhustler84	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:10:10 AM
it is YOU who needs a life! Not the swarms of talkbackers ready to complain about one thing or another the second you post it. :) Still, I agree, that trailer was not a geek out moment whatsoever.
The best Hulk comic was the "What If? Hulk Went Berzerk" by GrandMuffTarkin	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:10:56 AM
He goes apeshit and breaks The Thing's neck, crushes Iron Man's pacemaker, and bats the Human Torch into the next state. Good times....
I already know by kungfuhustler84	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:16:47 AM
Hulk would kick the shit out of King Kong... but that wouldn't make it any less fun to watch on the big screen.
David Banner must masturbate a lot by TodayzSpecial	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:22:17 AM

Right On Captain Britian by MRJONZ72	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:32:57 AM
I liked the Ang Lee movie and I also use to enjoy the TV show.. but the "accident" scene in both really were bleh to me. I want to see that moment, I want to see that moment where Doc Manners body is just frozen beng writh in pain as he has caught in that explosion. I can understand for a couple of reason for not using a bomb..but maybe due someting else like a Gamma Reactor that the 1996 Cartoon series did.
and I forgot by MRJONZ72	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:34:15 AM
yes I wanted to see Rick Jones in this well, updated him if need be to make it more plausible for him being near a goverment test sight..but have him in the movie!
I still look forward to this film... by m_reporter	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:34:51 AM
... but that trailer was average at best.
It's nice to see... by Sledge Hammer	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:35:23 AM
...that all it takes to get positive buzz on AICN is free invited to the editing room, and a complimentary screening in Texas. I mean hey, I hope the film is good, I really do, but you can hardly trust the opinion of a site whose positive hyping seems directly in proportion to the amount of free shit they get.
Now That is a Trailer by stvnhthr	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:40:02 AM
perfect
The television origin is inferior by Chewtoy	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:40:04 AM
It sucks that they've gone back to the television origin, if this trailer is accurate, as that had no resonance. In the comic, Bruce uses his God-given genius to create a weapon of mass destruction for the military, and is punished by becoming one himself, hunted by his country and losing his great intellect each time it happens. In the TV show he sat in a chair peacefully trying to cure disease, and is turned into a monster for it. Random and shallow.
Damn by kungfuhustler84	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:42:00 AM
AICN is fuck dead right now. I guess there has been a serious lack in cool news. Those t24 hour talkback numbers are teensy weensy.
Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder by Thunderbolt Ross	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:51:07 AM
That sounds like the best superhero movie ever. hahaha
If they had used different footage... by pacheco.BC	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:51:19 AM
...it would have been much better. This trailer should have been released earlier, and made with more original footage. Instead, it feels like a retread, and you can barely tell what they're trying to do with it. Good idea, bad execution. Adding the trailer title cards at the end REALLY ruined it.
How many guys named Pondscum by Thunderbolt Ross	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:56:21 AM
... are out there? It can't be that many, really.
Couldn't they come up with new music? by abovo	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:59:25 AM
Did they have to copy the crappy seventies music? I sure that they copied some shots of the original show too. For example, the green cross hairs moving across Banner's face. I don't know, but I was hoping for something a lot different.
wow, that was lame. by Dr. Sid Schaefer	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:06:36 AM
seriously. no tension - just a cliff's notes reading of the plot. way to go, trailer guys - what, was this thing cut on a friday afternoon?
The link by ClarkWayne	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:07:44 AM
is definitely not working...sad day when i cant enjoy some good hulkness
so they jacked the old intro by palewook	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:12:09 AM
and the effects still look like shit. giving this a C, unless someone wants to pay me. then i'll call it a B-
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (Time for Dark Night yet?!) by wcme	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:14:38 AM
Same CGI. Same reaction. A redone better then the first film and now golden brown twinkie fresh from the oven, baked with love and care from momma Marvel is still rotten at the core if the cgi filling is poo.
It's a recreation by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:15:19 AM
of the beginning of the late 70s early 80s TV show. Didn't anyone get that? Nothing new here, though. It's stuff from the other trailers. Unlike Iron Man or Indy, this is one I can wait on.
You must be going hulk nuts wtf? by rsdigi	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:16:09 AM
That had nothing we havent seen? How much are they paying you for this movie christ? The clip where the hulk beats the shit out out of the bom with cop car gloves is the best we've seen.
same old trailer... by skynetbauxi	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:32:59 AM
with a little ARMAGEDDON music, and Harry loves it :-) but so do I!
Lame. But what you expect after Harry's rave of INDY 4 by Spacesheik	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:35:46 AM
I forgave GODZILLA. I forgave ARMAGEDDON. I forgave all the other raves Harry has ever given. But his rave for INDY 4 was complete and utter shiite, based on pop culture childhood fantasy denial.
Ang Lee Hulk origin was lame, too... by Kid Z	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:39:16 AM
...Bruce's father experiments on himself, has a mutant kid, who he experiments on some more, then kills his wife, Bruces mom, Bruce gets adopted by some people called the Krenzlers, grows up to become a scientist, invents some kind of nanobot medicine-delivery system wherein you have to zap everything with gamma rays to make it work, but it still explodes frogs like a 12 year old George W. Bush on a Dr. Pepper and Pixie Stix bender in possession of a box of M-80s, but his assistant gets stuck in the nano-med gamma room so Bruce uses his body to cover the gamma zapper thingie and a bunch of flashbulbs go off...

Harry - what the hell happened to your credibility?!? by irishraidersfan	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:45:36 AM
This just takes the cake. So, a re-hash of pretty much all the previous Hulk trailers with "Mr. Voiceover" husking it up, and that's the 'greatest'? Why don't you just admit to taking studio perks/cash for writing this rubbish???
WHOLLY SHIT!!!!!!! by Series7	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:47:00 AM
They are still casting Tim Roth in movies? I am at work right now and can't hear the sound, but unless the Metalocalypse song Awaken is playing over the whole trailer it is not as BUGNUTS as Harry proclaims.
Reminds me of CBS Friday nights, circa 1980 by Dr Gregory House	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:47:28 AM

Also by Series7	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:49:34 AM
Did anyone else see the string of universal movie trailers they are showing? And then hear about the fire? I bet VP's are going to push these movies very hard this summer because they are going to be needing some money. I just hope they can save Ghost Whisperer!
Dr. Gregory House: I worked out the formula to by CreasyBear	Jun 2nd, 2008 07:54:22 AM
watching the Hulk TV show. Tune in 24 minutes in, watch Hulk smash shit up in slo-mo for four minutes, then tune in 50 minutes in, watch Hulk smash shit up in slo-mo for six minutes. Then wait until Knight Rider or Manimal comes on.

Hulking by Cobbio	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:13:12 AM
Not a bad trailer, but I agree with Gotham Night: they kind of gave everything away. I pretty much know what's going to happen now, whereas before it left a few things open. Oh well. I really like Ed Norton, so I hope this film kicks ass. But the fact Norton pulled himself out of all publicity for it worries me a bit. He might know something the rest of us don't know yet.
Rickey is unimpressed by Rickey Henderson	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:18:33 AM
So it's a rehash of old footage we've already seen with some new mysterious music. What's all the commotion about fuckwits? Rickey can edit a home made trailer for Indy IV with Mutt getting hit in the groin with the theme from "Chariots of Fire" playing in the background and it still wouldn't improve upon the movie.

Good if you liked the old TV show... but if you were hoping for a Hulk movie actually based on the Hulk comics, looks like a major disappointment. Maybe one day they'll actually do a Hulk movie with the real Hulk origin, gamma bomb blast, Rick Jones and everything. Yeah, and simians might aviate forth from one's rectum.
Norton by Series7	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:26:05 AM
Was on the MTV movie awards with Too Late For Rehab Daughter. As STARS of the upcoming Hulk movie. So maybe they were the only celebes who didn't spend every second on stage promoting their new movie. But he showed up.

dr sauch by Series7	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:31:56 AM
Ang Lee's Hulk sucked because Eric Bana sucks. Now that I know he got his start in acting as a comedian I know why all of his movies sucked. Like I saw Chopper and thought he was alright in it, and like him Black Hawk Down. But now that he gets leading roles in drama/action movies he sucks. He was on Leno, and I was surprised how funny he was. He went on to explain how he started out as a stand up comedien and now even he is surprised at all the dramatic roles he gets offered and he just takes them. Pretty much admiting that he sucks but he likes the pay check. The dude pretty much only has one facial expression. And he's been in a bunch of movies now but still no one knows who he is, unless you say the guy who played the old Hulk. And if you talk to the average Jo, they'll probably think that it is the same guy who is playing the new Hulk.
Harry are you just stirring us up to increase traffic? by BenBraddock	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:35:56 AM
That would explain the constant raves!
BenBraddock by Series7	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:37:39 AM
I wonder if voice over man gets to see every movie he does the trailer's for? Probably not. I bet he works like 1 day a week, just comes in hung over, gets handed a cup of coffee and a piece of paper with everything they need to record today, take a piss, hits on the recording studio secretary, falls asleep, get awoken by the bitch errand boy, yells at the errand boy for waking him up, goes in the recording booth and reads all the lines on the piece of paper, leaves before he even finds out if it was good enough, is home and drunk again by 12. And in that whole time made more money then you and I combind will probably make in the next 5 years. (I don't think he gets paid in the millions, plus there are a couple of voice over guys).
Did Harry get paid to say that? by krushjudgement	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:38:14 AM

I wouldn't be surprised is Universal is doing shit like that, after that fire there movies are going to have to catch fire this summer to recoup the movie and the damages. And NON of there movies are sure things, Hulk is probably the closest one to a sure hit but its going to have to beat out a talking animal dreamworks movie, which has costed peoples lives in the past. Oh and a Adam Sandler movie...Man this is like ROTS year all over again. Big box office hype movie (Indy) then a Sandler/Dreamworks combo, and a Louis Leterrier movie all in the same box office top ten. HMMMMMM.

HARRYS PRE-RELEASE REPORTS + GRAIN OF SALT by ArcadianDS	Jun 2nd, 2008 09:18:15 AM
Remember, this is the guy who went absolutely retarded over Speed Racer trailers, covering bodily fluids in chocolate and whatnot. A grain of salt is simply not enough to properly measure his ad-paid, set-visit inducing, initial fanboyism. You need a salt block the size of the berg that sant Titanic in order to balance the overtly sugar coated hype he's prone to releasing. Seriously, the video was a recut of the previous clips, and the audio sounded like something a YouTuber could have added in their basement.

Harry + Studio Bribes= This article by rhcp2sweet	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:16:49 AM
A week after Moriarty visits the Hulk editing suite and raves about what he saw, Harry had to make sure he wrote an article that professed his love for a movie that hasn't come out yet. Gee, I wonder if Harry will give a positive review? (Excerpt from Harry's future Hulk review): "When the Hulk hit the Abomination for the first time, I cried tears of joy while drinking chocolate covered pussy juice with a boner."
Series7 by dr sauch	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:19:22 AM
I don't think that Bana was bad at all. In that movie, he was suppossed to play an academic, a research scientist. As a research scientist myself, I can tell you that he embodied many of the traits I see in a lot of the people I work with. He is certainly not a superstar, but his subtle style was perfect in belying the rage just beneath the surface in Bruce Banner. I think Lee's was poorly received because non-hulk fans were expecting what Norton's film will deliver, mindless HULK SMASH! scenes with some novelty plot thrown in, and Hulk die-hards were expecting the storyline to mirror the comics, which it did not. It played like a weird art film dealing with issues ranging from memory, repression, destruction/power of nature, and scientific corruption.
Still looks better than Ang Lee's Hulk by Darksider	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:19:50 AM
The old tv show worked despite everything it had going against it. It makes since that they would tap into that. The Hulk looks a hell of a lot better than the tall pouty green muscular child that was in the first one. He doesn't look like Hulk from the books still, but it's definitely an improvement. I'm willing to bet that with the cast involved, we won't be seeing that much of the Hulk anyway. Like the show, it would be more about Banner on the run while trying to find a cure. But he has to stop every now an then to kick someone's ass.

Original TV Opening by D_T	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:38:30 AM
Wow, did they miss an opportunity - if they're going to retread the original TV opening, they should have: A) Used the [iconic] piano music (I was waiting for it...) 2) Got someone with some balls to do the voice over (Ted Cassidy was amazing). Hell, Michael Clarke Duncan does some great voice work.
I'm so sick of everyone referencing the TV show by Dragon Man	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:41:32 AM
What the hell was so great about that old TV show? Why couldn't they directly reference the comic as opposed to ripping off an old cheesy 70s version that was merely adequate? I mean, it was hardly original in its own right as it ripped off The Fugitive.
The current state of AICN by lord_zedd	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:45:27 AM
They're like the cheerleaders of a very small town high school football team that wins maybe three games a year. They try to get the audience pumped up during the game (and at certain assemblies), but mostly we just want them to shut up because we can't lie to ourselves, no matter how much pep is thrown at us.
This Looks Fan Edited by nexxus7	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:48:27 AM
All of the footage has been shown in other trailers. The editing of this one is actually quite sloppy, and the narration is regional at best and amateurish at worst. To me it looks clearly homemade, because I could certainly do it on my PC with one of the local narrators providing VO. In a couple of days someone will probably jump out from behind the curtain and take credit for it.
Ang Lee's "Visual Style" by Autodidact	Jun 2nd, 2008 10:52:36 AM
Can someone tell me, aside from dividing the screen up into comic panels like three times in the movie, what kind of look did Ang Lee bring to Hulk (2003)? I watched it recently and was struck by just how bland the sets, art design, and screen compositions were.

isnt it obvious?... this trailer was a take on the old tv show opening - i personally dont think that makes it very cool - or original - it makes the movie look more like another "tv show to film" endeavor - which, when you get past the fx etc, is what it is - like charlies angels... same old stuff just repackaged for a new generation - like i said before, hulk 2003 is comicbook-hulk, this new one is tv show-hulk - ang lee's hulk still rules

Let's not fight about this. by micturatingbenjamin	Jun 2nd, 2008 12:17:03 PM
Ang Lee's movie was an Ang Lee version of the Hulk, and this will be a Louis Letterier version. I own Transporter and Transporter 2...not for the paper thin plot or the average acting...but because of the kickass action. They are kickass action flicks, and Hulk needs a kickass action director to helm this flick. The reason people like Harry love this trailer (myself included) is because we remember being in our jammies on the floor after our nightly bath wathching Hulk on CBS, and this was essentially saying 'Remember how kickass the Hulk was when you were a kid? Remember how they dealt with characters and made a kickass show?' And I say, yeah, I remember, and this was fucking sweet. It would be better in an official Quicktime format or even flash. I'm looking forward to this version of the Hulk, because I happen to like the director's vision of action and the screenwriter's sensibilities (Ed Fucking Norton). This is going to be a sleeper, I bet, I think it's gonna do Iron Man business out there after next weekend all the way to Dark Knight.
Hulk has never been one of my faves by DarthJedi	Jun 2nd, 2008 12:19:56 PM

Look, you know who 'the people' you're talking about are? The fucking majority of filmgoers who gave his flick a pass, and made it worth fifty cents on Amazon. It will no doubt appeal to a broader filmgoing audience, because it's not as 'arty' (your word)...Or as I'd say, it's not as dense, obtuse, and deliberately oblique as Ang Lee's beautifully flawed version. Lee failed. Fail, fail, fail. It was a failure on all counts, except with people who want to be seen as 'intellectual' or 'in the know' or 'film buffs'. Ang Lee's version didn't suck, it just wasn't what the public wanted OR EXPECTED from a Hulk movie. It's like someone saying, 'Hey! Let's have an ice cream sundae!' and you say 'Sure! Fuck yes, I do like me some ice cream!' Then, they sit you down, and give you a steaming bowl of wheatgrass and brussels sprouts. Sure one is WAY better for you than the other, but shit, everyone went into Lee's Hulk thinking 'Ice Cream Sundae' and got 'Steamy pile of Wheatgrass and Brussels Sprouts'. In short, Lee's Hulk = Fail, and Letterier's Hulk FTW.

And man don't get me started on THE ILUSIONIST... He seemed to be completely out of that movie, like he didn't give a shit. Oh yeah, the Spike Lee one wasn't bad... Still, I just don't like the guy. Weird aint it?

The reason this ones good... by Spikey	Jun 2nd, 2008 01:53:59 PM
is because its playing as if its a direct translation of the old tv show. So if you dont have much love for it then this trailer wont do it for you. If you loved the tv show then this one should have brought out some passions

Why all the Ang Lee hate? I'll tell you why... by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:02:00 PM
Ang Lee made a version that was designed to appeal to the art-house crowd (you know, those obnoxiously self-important people with an abundance of education and a deficit of intelligence). That target audience loved Ang Lee's version precisely because it sucked the life and the fun out of the story and made it into an empty exercise in intellectual navel-gazing. This also assured that no one else would like it, and that made it even cooler because then the intellectual crowd could tell themselves that they were the only ones who "got it." But more to the point, a Hulk movie should be a primal, raging beast of a movie as befits the character himself - more thunderous than ponderous. At least this version looks to have gotten that part right. I'll reserve my judgement until I see the finished product, but I, for one, say, "Fuck Ang Lee."
Looks great by pumaman	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:14:16 PM

Hulk (to me) is boring and the television show even more so. I couldn't stand it as a kid and hate it more now. When I first started reading comics, Peter David was just getting into the Joe Fixit arc. The Hulk as a grey skinned, Italian suit wearing, perpetually pissed off bodyguard for a shady casino owner? Oh, now you're talking. Even better was the introduction of "The Professor" Hulk - Banner's intelligence, Moron Hulk's strength, Joe Fixit's attitude. That's the Hulk I want to see. A real character, not this monosyllabic, dumber than an MSNBC pundit bullshit.

Fight at the end of Hulk trailer by KelseysNuts	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:38:58 PM
Didn't I see that same fight in the last reel of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Really crappy CGI mutants/monsters are getting very old. Sci-Fi channel 'Ogre' looked more realistic.

Once again. . . . . . by Darth_Kaos	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:40:57 PM
. . .I ask myself, "why can I get excited about this movie?" It has Ed Norton, and the way The Hulk should have always been made in the first place. But why do I have a feeling that it's going to be a letdown? I though IronMan was a bit overrated, but still a well made movie. Indy 4 just plained sucked, (and you know it did, no matter how you try to spin it!), and I have no hope for the new Punisher movie(it will bomb!). Hope I'm wrong Hulk! BTW - I think The Dark Knight will kick everyones arse up and down!

Ang Lee by Larry of Arabia	Jun 2nd, 2008 03:59:39 PM

er, as i was saying by Larry of Arabia	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:01:44 PM
Ang Lee's Hulk was a great visual idea and interesting concept that just didn't work out. I admire the film without actually liking it that much.

I don't feel like I'm the only one who "got it." I just think I went in without expectations of what the film should be. I'm not an art house fag, I'm a regular guy who dug Ang Lee's movie.
and micturatingbenjamin by krushjudgement	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:35:27 PM
I'm not trying to be "intellectual" or a "film-buff." That's pretty insulting to generalize human beings you don't even know. Again, I'm a regular guy who likes the movie and I'm not trying to prove anything.
Here's the problem by Gozu	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:40:50 PM
They went from one extreme (a movie too heady for its own good) to another (a dumber than a box of rocks action flick). Don't forget the do-over of "Punisher" is coming out this year as well. Hopefully they'll both fail and studios will just let these franchises alone until someone comes to them with an honest to God good idea to start them up again.
SO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED HERE IS by Djomigod	Jun 2nd, 2008 04:44:36 PM
The ONLY way to shut up these ridiculous, NERDY FANS (yes, NERDY, not GEEKY) is to include ANIMATRONICS FOR THE HULK. B/C Computers are NOT advanced enough to render realistic skin, texture, & underlying anatomy alone. You need Weta or ILM on their ass. NOT photorealistic CG; but actual OBJECTS to take footage of. Also- While watching this trailer makes me feel like I'm in elementary school, watching the Hulk all summer long; being on this THREAD makes me feel like I'm in Kindergarten, with all these IDIOTS poking fun incoherently, teasing, mocking, and generally grossing me out with their sheer lack of Hygiene & INTELLECT. Thanks but NO thanks. I'll be at Firstshowing. W/ the CLASSY posters.

In your post to micturatingbenjamin, you expressed indignation at someone "generalizing human beings [namely you] you don't even know," and in your previous post to me, you took pains to point out that you weren't an "art house fag." Now, I've known many art house fans (most of whom were insufferable), and there didn't seem to be any clear-cut sexual preference, just a penchant for pretentiousness. But for someone who hates judgment (enough to even make it part of his username), the whole "art house fag" comment seems a little hypocritical, doncha think? Not hatin'; just sayin'.

"Ang Lee made a version that was designed to appeal to the art-house crowd (you know, those obnoxiously self-important people with an abundance of education and a deficit of intelligence). That target audience loved Ang Lee's version ..." Pulled that straight out of your ass, didn't you? or is their some secret art-house criticism site the rest of don't know about, where all those art house people go on and on about how much they loved Ang Lee's Hulk? The lowest form of elitism is anti-elitism, you know, where you establish how superior you are by ridiculing perceived, imaginary superiority. Congratulations, you are today's elitist idiot.

and it wasn't as if ang lee's hulk was THAT "arty" especially when compared to some movies out there. for fuck's sake some of you would do well to go and rent a tarkovsky film. "hulk" will look like an episode of full house afterward.

The tv show gets more attention for treatment by Rufferto	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:58:31 PM
then the comic book. It's very overrated. The only thing I liked about it was the sad music. The pretty much changed Banners background and even his first name so it really isn't the wisest idea to use it as a movie treatment. I don't know. I have a hard time believing that people recognize the Hulk more from an old show and not as Marvels flagship characters. But I guess I'm wrong.

I saw the movie, and it personally reminded me of countless "art-films" that I've been dragged to by various friends and girlfriends, and I've found that the only people I know who liked Ang Lee's Hulk are the same people who dragged me to see (and raved about) said art films. And, to me, Ang Lee's Hulk seemed of a piece with those same films I hated. If that's pulling something out of my ass, then so be it. And by the way, I'm not anti-elitist; I just hate intellectualism without intelligence (vis a vis Ang Lee's Hulk). And by the way, krushjudgement, since when does "fag" mean "lame?" Talk about going to a secret site the rest of us don't know about.

anyone that thinks ang lee's hulk was/is an art house movie, or a comic book movie with art house trappings and pretense 1. never read any hulk comics printed before 2000 and 2. is a fucking idiot that places sound and fury above all else (in a genre film) - you sound like a moron - the typical seat filler that allows crap like "meet the spartans" to get green lit - bravo joe public, "fans" like you are the reason we got a shitty fantastic 4 movie and a barely passable daredevil movie - but what do i know, im a "pretentious art house movie fan thats got more education than intelligence" - i bet youre a republican

shit, for arguement's sake... by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 2nd, 2008 11:05:08 PM
if you hated the drama and subtext of ang lee's hulk then it stands to reason that you would hate the bixby tv show just as much - watch the 1st season and tell me it doesnt have the same dramatic tempo and emotional cues as ang lee's version? - the real issue people have with lee's movie is "there wasnt enough smashing" - hundreds here have said as much - and it makes you sound retarded - lee's hulk book ends the first spiderman perfectly - you could argue that lee modeled his hulk movie on spiderman 1 (in terms of pacing, character development and action set pieces) - it delivered everything spiderman 1 did as far as a comic book movie goes - the bottom line is, the only way to sell a hulk movie to the average mouth breathing cineplex rat is to dumb it down and focus on the smashing
HULK STRAIGHT! by Dokkalvar	Jun 2nd, 2008 11:16:45 PM

Ang Lee should have done Fantastic Four not Hulk by Stormwatcher	Jun 2nd, 2008 11:35:19 PM

FF movie and Ang Lee by Series7	Jun 3rd, 2008 08:08:57 AM
I'm sorry I have seen most of Ang Lee's films save for his most recent and his Merchant Ivory wannabe Jane Austen thing. And I really just don't get all the praise. I just don't buy any of the performences he gets out of his actors, they all seem way to fake and just reading a script. I just never feel or really give a shit for any of the characters in his movies. Save for the Dawsons Creek girl in Brokeback. As for the Fan Four movies, I always thought that as a comic there wasn't much depth and it all seemed kind of lame. So I thought the movie protrayed that, though Doom sucked, good casting choice I thought, but i think its going to be hard to not see him as Dr. Troy, ever. He needs to realize he'll only be suited for serial killer roles.

Yeah I've seen that trailer, thats pretty much what I was thinking about. Also Big Red from Letterman and the ponytail guy fron Conan. Like how do you get that job. I work with someone whos aunt is Tress McNeil who is huge in the voice over world. And I keep bugging him to find out how she got started.
those who are bashing The hulk tv series should remember by emeraldboy	Jun 3rd, 2008 09:58:48 AM
1. they didnt have much money in the 1980's to do effects properly and CGI was invented until the late 1990's. 2. The series had a moral story running through each epissode. So you cant compare then with now and the tv series was huge and was syndicated around the world. Those who didnt read the comic books, saw the tv show or the creaky looking cartoon that stan lee narrated.

JimmyJoe RedSky by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:21:23 AM
Wow. You were wrong on almost every single point you made. I started reading Hulk comics around age 10 (1979) and continued until about age 18. I never saw Meet the Spartans. I was also a longtime FF fan and was hugely disappointed by both movies, and as a casual Daredevil fan, I was very meh on that movie as well. I also, for the record, have voted Democrat for almost every election in the past 20 years (except in some local elections where no Democrat is running, in which case I either try to find a Libertarian or abstain). Some of the superhero movies I like are: Superman (the original), X-Men 2, Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, Hellboy, and more recently, Iron Man. These are all movies that manage to balance drama and dynamic action without tipping too far in either direction. Ang Lee's Hulk went to far into navel-gazing, existential ennui, which, by the way, was nothing like the old TV show (which I also watched). The drama in that show was usually acted out, rather than discussed, as it was in the incredibly tedious Ang Lee version. No comparison.
It took them 5 years.... by Movieguy84	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:00:31 PM
to get it right, but i still wanted more. I saw the screening of it yesterday night in NYC and now Im feeling like "well at least it was better than Ang Lee's version" It was good. Lots of inside jokes, Stan Lee, Tony Stark and some good action scenes WITHOUT DOGS, also.......................... .............................. ...........................spo iler alert......................... .................do not read anymore if you dont want a spoiler....................... .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. .......I have a good hunch the Leader will be in the sequel, you'll know why by the end of the film. And Hulk says HULL SMASH in the film. It will make us forget what a shitty movie the 2003 version was.
CGI... by tailhook	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:09:21 PM
The very first live action television series exclusively using CGI for its effects came out in 1994. The name of that show was Babylon 5. If I recall.. animated television.. the first TV series was Reboot in 1994. Anybody who claims CGI was 'invented' in the late 90's is an ignorant hick whose posting rights should be revoked.
nostalgia for the original show by troutpencil	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:47:18 PM
I just cannot approve. That show was boring. I guess there is some value in a generic wandering hero helping with a new cast's problems each episode show mixing it up by having the main character mutate into a green bodybuilder at some point each episode. I would've liked to see Chuck Connors turn into a dragon in "Branded," but really, that style of show was boring, and the Hulk show sucked somewhat terribly, just as bad as "The A-Team" or "Starsky & Hutch." And am I the only person who hates the shit that they are pushing about this movie? That Bruce Banner is constantly "searching for a cure"? Can you imagine a whole series of movies where the lead character just searches the whole time? Wouldn't that be fucking boring? He's always looking for one thing, on the run, and sad. Like in the tv show. Probably like in the comic book. To me that sounds unspeakably dull.
the dolphins are in the jacuzzi by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 3rd, 2008 02:15:56 PM
what is navel-gazing - in spite of all of you bullet points, you still dont like ang lee's hulk? - wow - ive been reading hulk comics since around 1970 (when i was 5), so whatever - you will excuse my previous vitriol, but i dont like being anonymously attacked and pegged as some kind of fruit for liking a movie that the overwhelming majority didnt get (and by "didnt get" i dont mean "didnt understand" narratively speaking) - at the risk of sounding juvenile, you started it by saying among other things "Ang Lee made a version that was designed to appeal to the art-house crowd (you know, those obnoxiously self-important people with an abundance of education and a deficit of intelligence). That target audience loved Ang Lee's version ..." - thats a real asshole-thing to say - i hate american idol, but i wouldnt paint all of its fans as short sighted morons with no taste (while im sure some exsist)
the tv show premiered in 1978 by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 3rd, 2008 02:19:56 PM
it became a hit in the 1970s - and ran on through the 1980s - and in my opinion started to tank around 1980 - the first season is the best of the series
Movieguy84 by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 3rd, 2008 02:21:57 PM

Not too cool... by thebigtexas	Jun 3rd, 2008 02:43:25 PM
It really looks no better than the previous debacle. The effects are still weak with the green skin tones. Very fake looking, and the story is just...tired. Hopefully I'm wrong. But for some reason, I believe Harry also enjoyed Indiana Jones 4. I'm thinking a bit of the $186 million dollar budget went to critics pockets.
JimmyJoe RedSky by the dolphins are in the jacuzzi	Jun 3rd, 2008 08:50:00 PM
I admit my comment was pretty antagonistic and baiting, so I'll cop to deserving all the flak I've gotten, but I never called anybody a "fruit." In fact, I called krushjudgment to task on the derogatory use of the term "art fag," so don't lump me into the homophobic crowd. I just hate Ang Lee's Hulk because, in my opinion, it was unbearably pretentious, like most art films I've seen, and many of the same people I know who like art films liked Ang Lee's Hulk. I also happen to think that the acting was pretty dreadful (somebody on this thread mentioned that Eric Bana was originally a comedian, not a dramatic actor, and that makes sense). And it seemed very much to me that many of the people who liked this movie liked it because it was "daring/different," but not because it was good or well-acted. But hey, as Mark Twain said, "Difference of opinion is what makes a good horse race," or in this case, a talkback. JMO.
