first by phaedrus007	Sep 12th, 2008 06:54:07 PM
Can't wait for Watchmen.
GI Joe by skimn	Sep 12th, 2008 06:55:45 PM
Sommers bad? I'm shocked!!!!!!!
I'm jizzing for star trek by deanbarry	Sep 12th, 2008 06:56:50 PM
i wanna make JJ his babies. Via a test tube if I have too.
If Lovely Bones is anything like Heavenly Creatures by skimn	Sep 12th, 2008 06:59:05 PM
then Jackson will prove he's more than a fantasy geek guy. I hope it's good.
Neat-o by superzero	Sep 12th, 2008 07:00:15 PM
Somewhat unsure of GIJOE but very happy with Ray Park as SnakeEyes...am absolutely peeing my pants in excitement for Lovely Bones and I really do think that Watchmen will be as good if not better than the Dark Knight.
Lovely Bones still 13 months away! by performingmonkey	Sep 12th, 2008 07:01:03 PM
Seriously, what the fuck is up with that?? I thought it was basically finished and Jackson/Walsh/Boyens were moving on to the Hobbit/Hobbitpt2 scripting (also Peter's involvement with Tintin, though he isn't directing the first one)? So why is The Lovely Bones out next October?
yay by Errockk	Sep 12th, 2008 07:01:43 PM
watchmen
Hey, watch it. by Anna Valerious	Sep 12th, 2008 07:02:25 PM
Although it's not the standard Sommersverse fare (As in you have to read up on stuff), I'm still seeing it. Especially since Rob Cohen ruined the third "Mummy".
sigh... by BadMrWonka	Sep 12th, 2008 07:06:21 PM
"We also saw a computer generating scene which acted as a story board for the eventual filming." at least he didn't write "story bored"... and "usual Stephen Sommers schtick" (or schtik, if you won't...) is the diplomatic way of saying "crap" I've ever heard... I have no sentimental attachment to GI Joe, I don't remember half the people from it, I don't give a shit. and I'm STILL mad that Sommers is doing this. I'm mad he gets to keep making crappy ass movies. seriously. can people STOP GOING TO SEE THEM so we don't have to be subjected to the endless marketing campaign full of retarded one-liners and startlingly bad special effects?
performingmonkey by deanbarry	Sep 12th, 2008 07:07:51 PM
Cause they are doing all the Whizz Bang special effetcs man! Weta takes time to create it's masterpieces.
I'm not a fan of Abrams, but I am of Star Trek. by Amy Chasing	Sep 12th, 2008 07:11:45 PM
I'm only hearing positive stuff about this movie. Should I be worried?
The Keanu Reeves animation in the left corner by Ingeld	Sep 12th, 2008 07:29:01 PM
is one of the best ones. Harry, you should have a link that displays all of these animations.
There = Their? by WickedChicken37	Sep 12th, 2008 07:29:41 PM

"reminded me of next generation loads" by Geekgasm	Sep 12th, 2008 07:39:27 PM
That is not at all encouraging.
Lovely Bones WON'T be Heavenly Creatures.. by TheWaqman	Sep 12th, 2008 07:41:14 PM
Because Mark Wahlberg is in this film, and he's a terrible actor. Otherwise I still have hope for the film, and Jackson can do more than just fantasy, because he did make Heavenly Creatures after all. Why didn't this fool describe the trailer at all? And also The Watchmen will suck, they still haven't shown dialogue scenes, because Snyder jerks off to imagery alone.
Is it just me or... by Amy Chasing	Sep 12th, 2008 07:45:04 PM
Does Marky Mark seem like a poor man's Matt Damon?
"and the eventually toppling of the Eiffel Tower" by INWOsuxRED	Sep 12th, 2008 07:57:57 PM
Are you sure they didn't replace scenes from G.I.Joe with scenes from Team America?
A Real Team American Hero by Geekgasm	Sep 12th, 2008 08:19:24 PM
That's a pretty novel idea - instead of spoofing a real movie, make real movie versions of spoofs. And thus a new genre is born.
wait, he says, "massively enjoyable..." and then by orange cinema	Sep 12th, 2008 08:39:15 PM
says "it looks bad" in the same breath. well which is it? i'm totally bummed that sommers got GI JOE, and while i like the casting, there is so much more that just looks like this will be a fail.
The are only 2 things to care about in GI:Joe by DOGSOUP	Sep 12th, 2008 08:49:58 PM
1. Snake Eyes. Nuff said. 2. The Baroness is fucking hotter than any other female character within 10 miles of that movie.
Destro's mask? by DarthMoron	Sep 12th, 2008 09:11:56 PM
"Chris Eccleston and Arnold Voslo both look on form"... Does this mean Destro in a mask, or not?
Ray Park by DarthMoron	Sep 12th, 2008 09:14:58 PM
I'm anxiously optimistic (and guarded as hell) and G.I. Joe, and hoping against hope that it's watchable (I know, I know...). Still, I spoke with Ray Park at Dragon Con two weeks ago, and am at least happy that he's bringing Snake Eyes to the screen. He's a helluva a nice guy, so the flick's got THAT going for it.
More detail on Lovely Bones trailer, please? by Artie Simek	Sep 12th, 2008 09:34:20 PM
icaddy? You out there? Might you say a little more about what you saw?
Can't Fuckin Wait for WATCHMEN! by grievenom	Sep 12th, 2008 10:14:11 PM
March 09 can't get here soon enough.
We need to see a better shot of the Enterprise by picardsucks	Sep 12th, 2008 10:25:56 PM
with Shatner in the captain's chair that is all
~~~20th CENTURY FOX, PLEASE TAKE NOTE (BITCHES)~~ by The Marquis de Side 3	Sep 13th, 2008 12:53:24 AM
you assholes fuck up every franchise. why don't you use the Marvel, Paramount, Warner Brothers playbooks? oh yeah, you'd rather sue! punk ass coke snortin sluts!
a few notes by slkboxrman	Sep 13th, 2008 01:07:03 AM
3rd mummy was great, mark wahlberg is a great actor, gi-joe and star trek will be awesome ...cant wait
watchmen by j_difool	Sep 13th, 2008 01:09:07 AM
why do the gods keep us waiting to see this stuff? why hasn't the comic-con reel been leaked to the internets yet? why? FUCK !
Yeah, a little more by dirtsandwich	Sep 13th, 2008 01:09:43 AM
detail about The Lovely Bones would of been nice. Actually one tiny fucking detail would of been nice. You did watch the fucker right?
Giant Squobama by Mockingbuddha	Sep 13th, 2008 01:37:43 AM
giant squid?
"the footage they showed at Movie-con" by waggy	Sep 13th, 2008 01:42:10 AM
I can't tell if he's making a joke or if this is a sad commentary on the state of the San Diego Comic Convention.
NO Details on Lovely Bones whatsoever... by TheWaqman	Sep 13th, 2008 02:26:24 AM
Good job you fucking idiot. Also The Watchmen will be shit. I'm reading it again, and there is no way Snyder can make this work. I would have preferred a mini series.
TREK was pushed back... by TheRealRatigan	Sep 13th, 2008 02:52:53 AM
...so no TRANSFORMERS 2 trailer on STAR TREK; TREK comes to theaters next May now. We won't see a full length TF2 trailer before next year. A teaser for TF2 this holiday season, a sizzle ad during the Super Bowl, and a full trailer sometime before Spring.
That hurt my brain by MattmanReturns	Sep 13th, 2008 03:24:55 AM
"We also saw a computer generating scene..." AAAGGH!!
Wahlberg is decent enough by King Sweyn Forkbeard	Sep 13th, 2008 03:28:04 AM
When he has a good actors director telling him what to do. His two best performances have come while working for PTA and Scorsese. Otherwise he's almost always shit Jackson has a rep as more of an effects specialist than an auteur (although Heavenly Creatures was excellent) so this really could go either way.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHNNNNNN NN! by SingingHatchet	Sep 13th, 2008 03:45:51 AM
Had to say it.
GIJoe a Real American disaster by Stalkeye	Sep 13th, 2008 06:07:47 AM
next to the Mccain/Palin ticket of course.
Marlon Wayans? by LeftFoot	Sep 13th, 2008 06:07:53 AM
Sgt. Payne in G.I. Joe? So they're not pretending its not a kiddie film? The influence of G.I. Joe can be unpredictable. When my nephew was less than ten years old he try to talk me into buying a G.I.Joe aircraft carrier. It was ridiculously overpriced and HUGE, almost 6ft long. I told him we'd have to get rid of the couch just to fit the thing in the living room. He persisted to take the problem apart, analyze and explain how it was all workable. "But, it is a really good dead." Didn't get the carrier. These days he is married, 2 beautiful daughters. Has a computer job making gobs of money taking problems apart, analyzing, making things work.
Lovely Bones might be the moment when... by Mr Gorilla	Sep 13th, 2008 06:27:51 AM
...everyone realises that Jackson ISN'T the new Spielberg/Zemeckis/Lucas/Messi ah. Of course, I'd have thought that anyone who sat through King Kong would have caught on to THAT. (BTW, lovers, I do think that Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners, and The Fellowship are wonderful films, so don't call me a hater.)
destro's mask spoilers by ironic_name	Sep 13th, 2008 06:49:52 AM
he has a nano mask.. which I hope means he has a chunky skull face and eccleston is the mask, but he probably just wears a fluid mask.
I wanna see THE LOVELY BONES the most from that list by unionJACKass.webs.com	Sep 13th, 2008 07:03:49 AM
It's such a great book. After THE LOVELY BONES, I wanna see WATCHMEN, then STAR TREK, then GI JOE.
Kong was a GREAT 2hr film by King Sweyn Forkbeard	Sep 13th, 2008 07:44:59 AM
Stretched out to three hours. Even taking that into consideration it was still better than most stuff released that year. He's no Speilberg (who is?), but he's better than Zemeckis, equal to Cameron, and so far ahead of Lucas as both a writer and director it's almost cruel. Lucas is a producer, nothing more. He couldn't even make the best film in his own franchise.

Sienna's tits.
No Shatner...No Trek! JJ is gonna FUCK..This...Up. by conspiracy	Sep 13th, 2008 09:08:34 AM
Having Nimoy is fine, but Spock is only one half of the equation; The Shat IS Trek. JJ..so far I've disliked everything you have done....and your recent comments about this Trek movie do not give me much hope this will change.
skimm by fassbinder79	Sep 13th, 2008 10:51:22 AM
If Lovely Bones is even close to as good as Heavenly Creatures (or day I say it BETTER) then we may be looking at one of the best of all time.
Still think this whole no-shatner thing is a ruse... by qweruiop	Sep 13th, 2008 11:26:14 AM
...and that somehow the shat has/will film a top secretive cameo that only him, jj, and maybe some key personnel will know about. That way once he's seen in the theaters it'll be a welcome surprise.
qweruiop by Geekgasm	Sep 13th, 2008 12:04:35 PM
I love you but I think you've been smoking the wacky tobacky if you really believe that.
Star Trek by Sithdan	Sep 13th, 2008 12:10:17 PM
The day this premieres will mark teh Second Coming!!! This is the film Trek fans have been clamoring for!
Sithdan by unionJACKass.webs.com	Sep 13th, 2008 01:19:24 PM
No. AVATAR and James Cameron will be the true second coming, NOT the director of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3 making a prequel movie to a (nearly) 50-year-old tv show. I do wanna see it, but you got to put things into perspective.
JJ Abrams by kwisatzhaderach	Sep 13th, 2008 01:26:42 PM
sucks
Nothing seems to be leaking from GI Joe lately by INWOsuxRED	Sep 13th, 2008 01:31:46 PM
they must have really tight Depends or something.
keep Shatner out of Trek..... by j2talk	Sep 13th, 2008 01:38:14 PM
for the love of God, please...Kirk is dead...(despite Shatners revisionism)...move on...I sure as shit Hope that this film works...Although I'd have MUCH rather have seen a whole new Trek- if not Excelsior (should have done that in 1991 after Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)- than do the Enterprise C and set it between StarTrek and StarTrek:TNG
by djtelesca	Sep 13th, 2008 02:15:15 PM
I was dragged to see an indy film a couple of weeks ago (Bottle Schock) - the movie was pretty good, and I found out later that the star was Chris Pine (a.k.a. Kirk). He was really good...I am pretty optimistic now.
SS isn't as amazing as everyone by dirtsandwich	Sep 13th, 2008 02:34:26 PM
paints him out to be. WOTW sucked harry ass crack. Some cool moments shrouded in Tom Cruise ego, me, me, I, I, bullshit. And David Koepp's writing is beyond gay. Good going, why not just take a dump on Wells' grave while you're at it.
qweruiop by Series7	Sep 13th, 2008 09:20:07 PM
I've been feeling that same way too for awhile. But I have a feeling its just us being overly hopefull.
GI Joe by CloneWars	Sep 13th, 2008 10:03:21 PM
Does anybody wonder how come some people get jobs in Hollywood?? Sommers, Ratner, Uwe Balls and the Anderson that sucks? How did these people got to direct movies in the first place? They shouldn't even be on YouTube!
Reread Watchman by Kampbell-Kid	Sep 13th, 2008 10:44:39 PM
Must. See. This now!!!
Star Trek by attackpatterndelta	Sep 14th, 2008 09:55:31 AM
I hope J.J. Abrams gets it right, and reminds us why many of us liked seeing the Kirk crew in the movies. The one thing I always respected abouy Star Trek II, is how they refocused, and rebuilt the franchise. Think about how the themes of the movie worked so perfectly. Kirk was a respected leader, but Saavik had never seen him in action, so she questioned how good he really was. Kirk had forgotten he was once a young new jack, and couldn't see the value of a "fresh perspective." Spock reminded him that he was once where Saavik was, and both youth AND experience have a place in starfleet. Khan was the black-hat gunfighter calling Kirk out, asking if he still had the balls to take him on! The way they Had Kirk and Spock pulling victories out of their asses is what makes it the best trek movie. The movie explained to the audience WHY they were legends, and how badass they could be when they get in the trenches! "Days instead of hours, hours instead of days." "Like a poor marksmen you keep missing the target.". "Khan, I'm laughing at the superior intellilect!" It's what makes Kirk different than Picard in the Trek movies. In Star Trek III, Kirk stole the Enterprise and gave a big "fuck you" to starfleet. I know a lot of folks hate ST III, but Kirk was still pulling victories out his ass! My favorite scene was when he falls down and misses his chair, after his son is killed. He is absolutely devastated, and yet, even as he agrees to surrender, he is STILL on his game. "Mr. Sulu, what is the crew compliment of a Klingon bird of prey" and "I promise you gentlemen, this is NOT over!" I LIKED TNG, but I never felt like Picard was written as a guy that had to think on his feet...and win. As a matter of fact, some of the TNG movies felt like they were trying so damn hard to make Picard in to a badass, lol! "Oooh, I'm wearing my leather jacket down to the planet's surface, I am such a fucking rebel right now!" A movie is about investing in the characters and making the audience believe in them. You believed that Kirk should be considered the best, because they showed you WHY his enemies shouldn't fuck with him!
iamjacksuserID by slappy jones	Sep 14th, 2008 04:25:09 PM
i love that you use the word overrated in your post. Seeing as you are named after what is quite possibly the most overrated film of all time its funny to me. But it always amazes me how many people claim to not like the LOTR films yet seem to have sat through them all. surely after the first film you would say "no need to sit through a further 6 hours of that" but no. you sat through all 9 hours of it. Just seems rather silly to me.
IAmJack'sUserID when did BTTF become good? by j2talk	Sep 14th, 2008 05:26:36 PM
Back to the Future is adequate- maybe a bit above- but they shouldnt even be on the same list with LOTR not even close
Too much of the lovely bones plot? by Kizeesh	Sep 14th, 2008 07:27:40 PM
Errm Girl gets raped. Girl gets murdered. Then 6 chapters stolen straight from What Dreams may come and then a lot of hokey sunset beach style bollocks. Also shit ending. If it showed all that then bravo, it saved you $9 and 2 hours of your life.
I'm not seeing "Lovely Bones"... by BurnHollywood	Sep 15th, 2008 02:17:10 AM
...If Shatner's not in it. And that's final.
And no way Destro's a white guy... by BurnHollywood	Sep 15th, 2008 02:36:59 AM
Shee-yit...everybody knows he's a chrome-plated brotha: tinyurl.com/22gdh2
Destro was white by Kizeesh	Sep 15th, 2008 05:44:04 AM
I've read the comics. Yes I know how sad that is.
character development? by ZO	Sep 15th, 2008 08:24:20 AM
hes bashing gi joe for character development after watching about 5 min worth of scenes? yeah. makes sense.
Ingeld... by Sith Witch	Sep 15th, 2008 08:40:27 AM
There is indeed a place on this site that displays all the animation gifs. Sadly though, they aren't labeled with what movie they're each from.
g.i joe will be shit, trek & bones great, and watchmen by zapano	Sep 15th, 2008 08:55:04 AM
will be a disappointment.
Watchmen by frozen01	Sep 15th, 2008 10:41:52 AM
I think will be great for the comic book crowd. Anyone who has read the graphic novel will have their jaws on the floor for the duration of the movie (much like I did when I first saw the trailer on the big screen and then again in Imax) and everyone else will go "meh".
G.I. Joe is about characters as well as action by FleshMachine	Sep 15th, 2008 11:04:14 AM
mess up the characters and you got squat.
I hope Lovely Bones is better than the book by FleshMachine	Sep 15th, 2008 11:06:20 AM
started interesting...by the end i was thoroughly disappointed. overrated melodrama. hopefully jackson should be able to help.
I felt 300 was shallow, boring, eye candy... by FleshMachine	Sep 15th, 2008 11:08:12 AM
Watchmen is about subtlety, depth and character...NOT eye candy. i fear the wrong man is at the helm.
Kizeesh by FleshMachine	Sep 15th, 2008 11:09:59 AM
sad that you read the mainstream comic line of the 80s?
good comeback jacksuserid by slappy jones	Sep 15th, 2008 04:11:20 PM
you sure showed me. Personally I have better things to do then to sit through over 9 hours of films I don't like but fair enough. and I know what you mean about Back to the future. that is all anyone talks about these days. Its all the rage on the streets in the bars..everywhere I go Back to the future this...back to the future that. please.
Lovely Bones... by BurnHollywood	Sep 15th, 2008 09:50:56 PM
Well, duh. Everybody knew DeForest Kelley was the best looking. (This story almost fell off the screen, so expect to see that joke again...;-D )
ever heard of editing your email before you send it off? by Maclovin	Sep 15th, 2008 11:21:45 PM
revolutionary road (what the fuck is "redemption road") i.e. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, directed by Sam Mendes, but there's no mention of the footage seen of that... and i swear they even made a mistake on their own name - "icaddyforjohnnydrama", you sure that's not supposed to be icandy? Or are you a saying you're a mac application for a character from Entourage?
