1st by BrightEyes	Jul 12th, 2008 02:58:22 AM
I requested so I hope to see some tickets . I love the Tom Jane
Neat, I'd love to go but... by TheAD	Jul 12th, 2008 03:11:03 AM
Won't be possible, unless you guys are willing to pay for my airplane ticket too.
Tom Jane is underrated by m_reporter	Jul 12th, 2008 03:12:12 AM
I don't know what to think of the Mutant Chronicles. I am a sucker for the post-apocalyptic setting, but MC never looked like a movie with much premise to me. Guess I'll wait for the reviews. Tom Jane is great though, I haven't seen a single movie of his where he disappointed. He was the only good thing in Punisher, and he was awesome in Stander and The Mist.
OR.... by spyro	Jul 12th, 2008 03:22:43 AM
you could stay at home and download the dvdrip via bittorent. Personally i'm no going to do either as despite the talent involved, it looks shit.
OR...just watch it online right now by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jul 12th, 2008 03:30:07 AM
in damn good quality, i might add
oops, spyro beat me to it by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jul 12th, 2008 03:30:51 AM

Now by bod33	Jul 12th, 2008 03:43:01 AM
Just about to watch it this very minute.
Cliffy B please sit on my face! by mr_lopez	Jul 12th, 2008 04:10:45 AM
Gears of War II looks awesome!

Oh man, that looks awesome. "What would Jesus NOT do?" Amazing.
Even For Free It's A Miss by StealthGeek01	Jul 12th, 2008 05:20:53 AM
As mentioned before the DVD rip is available online, and for free it looks like a waste of a download.
This rough cut by MetiphisLabs	Jul 12th, 2008 05:29:50 AM
Has already leaked onto torrent sites. They definitely need to do some work on it.
I'm watching mutant chronicles now by floatybrownthing	Jul 12th, 2008 06:49:36 AM
no, rough cut, and it looks as beautiful as sky captain.

Give us a hint where to find it. Here's a vid of New York Comic Con 2008 with some reasonably hot fangirls. http://tinyurl.com/5vdfxz
So Dissapointed by rlf0331	Jul 12th, 2008 11:15:14 AM
Having read the books (a great read btw) and played the card game back in the day, this movie has so much left out that made the original story great. At least they could have put in a Necromutant instead of just the peons.
If they're showing the rough cut in a fortnight... by penhapus	Jul 12th, 2008 11:33:28 AM
...what exactly is the version leaking left, right and centre all over the internet?
downloaded it earlier by Alkohal	Jul 12th, 2008 12:33:34 PM
I feel bad for anyone thinking about seeing this screening at comicon.
Well because Bacci40 by PornKing	Jul 12th, 2008 12:54:25 PM
Why slob on two dudes' knobs you don't even know nor will ever meet again afterwards? Plus, I'll bet they're pretty embarrassed to have to be there for a screening of a shit movie, so I doubt they'll be thrilled to stay and chat about it.
Hellboy taught me how to drink by s0nicdeathmonkey	Jul 12th, 2008 02:50:26 PM
seriously. I went to a movie premier (Bloodrayne....) and they had an open bar. "Sweet," I thought, "free drinks" but I was like 17 at the time so I had no idea what to order. I got to the front of the line, (after asking a surly Pearlman if Hellboy 2 was happening), and flummoxed as to what to order, I just blurted out, "I'll have what Hellboy is having." Turns out, Mr. Pearlman enjoys his Kamakazi's. I had 6 that night...and interviewed Uwe Boll for like 40 minutes.
@gus van rant by logicalnoise01	Jul 12th, 2008 03:09:23 PM
the guy is 58 I'm surprised he still does stunts.
C'mon, one of you sleuths surely has the Saturday ComicCon by Pennsy	Jul 12th, 2008 04:44:32 PM
schedule; right? That's all that's left, as the Friday schedule was leaked.
WhineyNegative by PornKing	Jul 12th, 2008 05:27:18 PM
You are wise sir.
version on net is clearly the rough cut by Jarek	Jul 12th, 2008 06:12:12 PM
This still has some work to be done. Clearly still needs color timing work and more work done blending the digital effects. When this comes to official release I have a feeling it will look a lot better. It's not that bad, it's entertaining.... a few odd editing choices.. director has promise though stylistically. Gory too... which is cool. Best thing though is the casting.. their roles are odd but having Sean Pertwee and Benno Furmann in the same movie is pretty cool... add Perlman, Jane and Malkovich and it's at least worth a rental as it is now. It's fun. Probably be interesting in theaters with the right crowd. I will admit some of the script is a little... lacking.
4 day ComicCon schedule is up on CC site by irrelevntelefant	Jul 12th, 2008 07:43:10 PM

Has everyone who got in been emailed? by Lissa-Triana	Jul 12th, 2008 10:11:47 PM
Can I stop obsessively checking my email?
ive seen it by Dr. Samuel Loomis	Jul 13th, 2008 12:20:58 AM
it has the touch of Sin City, but it pulls it off much better, I really was skeptical of this film, but it was amazing, it was good.
I heard Gus Van Rant just posts shit to start something by Stormwatcher	Jul 13th, 2008 12:42:10 AM
But that's just what his mom whispered between my thighs. I really wish she'd just concentrate.
by BrightEyes	Jul 13th, 2008 12:59:28 AM

I haven't got my email yet. by BrightEyes	Jul 13th, 2008 01:00:01 AM
I know how you feel, I can't stop checking either haha.
Saw part of the movie at a friends place. by JKrow21	Jul 13th, 2008 01:12:24 AM
The opening battle is alright. Looked like a high budget TV movie.
It's like watching CASSHERN... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jul 13th, 2008 02:45:03 AM
Retro-steampunk CGI set in a future that looks painfully like WWI-era Europe.
Yep... by MR. MURDOCH	Jul 13th, 2008 03:24:05 AM
Casshern is awful. Was SO let-down by that movie. This doesn't look much better. But I'll see anything with Perlman, so...
Yup this shit is leaked along with Art of War 2 by Stalkeye	Jul 13th, 2008 06:01:43 AM
Which ain't that big a deal since it's a low budget sequel to Snipes' espionage thriller.Now if the powers that be can only released Felon, which looks interesting but no way am I gonna shell out my hard earned dollars for this.
The one thing that's disturbing about Comic Con by Stalkeye	Jul 13th, 2008 06:14:09 AM
has got to be those gawddamn Cosplayers.Man are those fanboys/girls creepy. However that Green Lantern chick looked kinda cute. ( Damage_Inc's link.)
"A music cue or a crossfade would have helped." by smackfu	Jul 13th, 2008 01:49:19 PM
LOL I'm sure they're taking film-making notes as we speak, random guy on the internet with no credentials or experience. Here's a hint: if you're opinions on the editing process of the film were worth listening to, they would have been delivered to the set by your assistant, or phoned in to the 'Pearlmeister' by you. Since you choose to deliver your helpful tips via an internet message board, I'm guessing they're going to pass.
Every time I see someone write 'cuz' on a message board by smackfu	Jul 13th, 2008 01:57:55 PM
I honestly wonder if they actually think that's the word and how it's spelled, or if they know the word is 'because' and have decided to cleverly reduce it to this 3 letter ebonics word to save time typing. Because, if their entire peer group says 'cuz', the odds are decent that they've never been confronted by the actual word they're butchering in the new lolcat language of the 21st century. I can easily envision 20 years from now, people thinking 'can I has cheeseburger' is a legitimate way to order at Burger King because no one remembers where it came from.
The problem with doing these as first 50 emails... by Lissa-Triana	Jul 13th, 2008 03:37:48 PM
is the fact that gmail let's you send a email back in time so someone could have come on at 12pm and sent it to look like it arrived at 5am. They way is should really be done is first 50 talkback comments. If nothing else it might cut back on people who have never even been to AICNs from applying.
e-mail anyone? by j-bot	Jul 13th, 2008 04:57:36 PM
Did anyone get an e-mail yet? I thought I might be too late, but I would like some closure. I hate not knowing
No email yet by BrightEyes	Jul 13th, 2008 05:30:06 PM
and I emailed right away so.
Thanks. by j-bot	Jul 13th, 2008 05:41:07 PM

WTF? by Finding Forrestal	Jul 13th, 2008 08:54:22 PM
Where are those e-mails, Quint?
Mutants... Raped? by angusthecow	Jul 14th, 2008 02:46:42 AM
This movie was suposed to be in preproduction and i really think this will be the final product if you are aware of the budget and all. I wonder who stole this from the filmmakers...maybe they did it themselves as a publisity stunt of some kind. I was planing on seeing it on theaters... Still might, it has that 300 charm to it...plus a lot of guts.
Post... sorry need some sugar. by angusthecow	Jul 14th, 2008 02:48:36 AM

At first i thought it was a joke ;_ ; or a publisity reel or something.
I only downloaded it to see what other movie was there in its pl by angusthecow	Jul 14th, 2008 02:54:20 AM

Review by changinglanes by angusthecow	Jul 14th, 2008 02:58:59 AM
I don't often comment on a movie, nor have I left a comment at rlslog up until now...but I was really disappointed with this film. I had heard good hype about it a year ago, I was so stoked to watch it...then I saw a trailer....still I gave it a chance, and downloaded this 'workprint' as you call it. I downloaded: Mutant.Chronicles.2008.DVDRip. Corrected.PSK.avi on pirate bay, and for the record, it is pretty much a 10 out of 10 for both audio and video quality, there is ZERO problem with aspect ratio, and the sound is crisp and clear and honestly, I have to again gripe about a couple of people saying it is a 'workprint', because I noticed NO missing sound effects, or music, or special CGI effects...everything was there. Although the blood at times looked like splashes of fake cgi effect...but hardly noticeable. Nonetheless, and I stress this....for seeing the likes of Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Punisher), Devon Aoki (Sin City, DOA: Dead or Alive), and MY GOD John Malkovich......all playing in this. You can say what you want about each one of those particular movies I noted they starred in, but each, if nothing else, was produced well, and was slick and polished. If this garbage I just watched is indeed a 'workprint' and still needs to be fine-tuned, I just have to say, I certainly HOPE so. Everything seemed to be in it's proper place though, it was just a terrible mutated crazed zombie-ish storyline, that has been done a hundred similar ways, and often insurmountably better ways, before. DESPITE having a coal powered airship. And despite the constant, eerie stylization, which I do admit looked like it had potential throughout the movie. But this just doesn't make up for the piss-poor dialogue, simply B-class development, and from the likes of John Malkovich, an unremarkable 5 minutes of character time. It was all these poor, terribly underused actors could do to hold it together. And trust me, the ones I mentioned at least, they tried there best, even John did what he could with those measly 5 minutes. But it simply felt like the Star Wars prequels all over again to me. Fortunately, we had no originals to use as ammunition and means to tear this one to shreds any more than I already have, I suppose. I give it a 5.5 out of 10, and that's only because there was a number of cool and well-done effects, but it all just seemed pieced together, with no real explanation of how the world came to be as it was, and seemed like a poor mixture of the ancient and the modern, religion and science fiction. And in the end, there really is no proper closure, or even a cliffhanger worth hanging on to. I'd rather let go and fall to my death. Waste of my personal couple of hours, for at least somewhat of a considerable expectation I had for this film. I'm just glad I saved my 10 bucks at the theater, but I will give it another chance a half a year or so from now, on an unrated blueray or something. That's my two cents.

No emails yay or nay here. At least they could have poster something saying the idea was scrapped. That would be the courteous thing to do.

I haven't received an e-mail either way regarding whether I made the cut or not. Could do with a little closure, thanks?
