Bale and a T-800! Fuck the haters T4 actually looks great
Also by tolomey	Jan 1st, 2009 08:47:47 PM
Seeing that pic of Where The Wild Things Are sent a shiver up my spine. I think I remember my mum reading it to me when I was a kid.
everything looks good by Silverglade	Jan 1st, 2009 08:49:02 PM
I am hoping 2009 is a good movie year.

Donald Westlake dead at 75! by Cruel_Kingdom	Jan 1st, 2009 09:28:43 PM
Any chance we can get an obituary? The man's Richard Stark books kicked much ass, and he did make some contributions in film. He adapted The Grifters and one of his novels was the basis for the badass Point Blank. RIP, Mr. Westlake.
Another post-apocalyptic Christian Bale film by I Dunno	Jan 1st, 2009 09:29:00 PM
I just hope there are more terminators in T4 than there were dragons in Reign of Fire.
Terminator pics look like Vid Game stills & not in a good way by G100	Jan 1st, 2009 09:29:57 PM
Those photos look like rushed photoshopped promps rather than "in Movie" atmospheric shots. Still I suppose it could still be good.
FCK FOX!!! FCK TIM ROTHMAN!!! by RpgSama	Jan 1st, 2009 09:37:05 PM
I HOPE HE CHOKE AND DIE ALONG WITH THE STUDIO!!! BOYCOTT, i will not see any movie made by fox in 2009...
I liked Year One when it was called by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 1st, 2009 09:37:23 PM
Caveman starring Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid, Shelley Long, Barbara Bach, and John Matusak.
"stumbles into events from the Old Testament" by I Dunno	Jan 1st, 2009 09:46:50 PM
Translation: "We knew the marketing budget for this project would be shit so we thought we'd add some plot points that would insure free publicity from the religious right and the Vatican".
Terminator by Bouncy X	Jan 1st, 2009 09:59:26 PM
that looks like a publicity still, i doubt its an actual shot from the movie.
Nice by IndoorPlumbing	Jan 1st, 2009 10:08:45 PM
Asked if he expects the film's religious satire to offend, Ramis laughs: ''I hope so!''
TERMI_JAY_TOR!!! by RyanMurray	Jan 1st, 2009 10:09:22 PM
That's Leno without all his makeup! EGADS!
Question by IndoorPlumbing	Jan 1st, 2009 10:10:03 PM
We have the Rat Pack, the Brat Pack, and the Frat Pack. What is the name of the Apatow group?
Joel Schumacker's Terminator by I Dunno	Jan 1st, 2009 10:18:52 PM
Really, look at it. It looks like that neon/dayglow Gotham City from Joel's pieces of shit. Nipples on the T-800!
The Scat Pack by I Dunno	Jan 1st, 2009 10:20:45 PM
for obvious reasons
The Fat Pack...none of them are skinny by RyanMurray	Jan 1st, 2009 10:34:22 PM

Looks like a tiny C.Bale riding a giant Terminator's shoulder by D.Vader	Jan 1st, 2009 10:44:35 PM
That's some very odd framing and an order mental picture.
Ho Ho Ho, muthaf@&%ers! by YouAreAllMyBastardChildren	Jan 1st, 2009 10:44:37 PM
It's a new year, my little bastards! Grow up. Man up. Cowboy up. Stop being such bloody pessimists and allow a sliver of optimism to infect your little bastard souls. Become mine. Happy New Year, haters of the world!
What the- funeral scene is in Harry Potter?? by D.Vader	Jan 1st, 2009 11:13:46 PM
All accounts of early screenings said the funeral scene at the end (being spoiler free here) of HP and the Half-Blood Prince was not included, nor was it shot. Now the EW blurb has Radcliffe talking about what it was like to shoot it? So either EW is mistaken and the scene in question isn't the funeral scene, or... My theory about WB moving Harry Potter 8 months back is true- the producers realized they'd screwed the pooch with the latest film and they secretly took the time for reshoots to have the final films make sense. I wish that were the case.
Apatow group = by Hercules	Jan 1st, 2009 11:16:10 PM

The Fuck the Script, Improv It All-Stars
apatow group -= by logicalnoise01	Jan 1st, 2009 11:32:37 PM
The shoot 5 hours of improv for every on screen minute then edit it down to a 5 minute scene pack. With that said it works most of the time.
D. Vader by mefrog	Jan 1st, 2009 11:59:51 PM
I have a friend who attends the USC film school. She said that a month ago, a Warners executive came to speak to her class and a question was asked about the Potter delay. The exec. said that as an "apology" to fans, they went back and filmed the funeral scene
Dumbledore's funeral by Prior Walter	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:02:54 AM
I guess it did make it into the movie.
Mefrog by D.Vader	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:04:22 AM
As much as I'd like to believe they did shoot the funeral scene, you must forgive me if I don't entirely believe your story. Not calling you a liar. Just your friend :).
That's a common soap opera blocking. by Dingbatty	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:38:42 AM
Character in the foreground, with another talking at her back so that they are both facing the screen. JC is telling the Terminator that he is breaking up with it.
Is that from the Universal Studios ride? by JKrow21	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:43:38 AM
Looks like it.
Fuck Terminator.... by TheWaqman	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:50:11 AM
you guys should be paying attention to Public Enemies. Depp looks fucking badass as Dillinger. The only weak link I suspect will be Christian Fail.
That Terminator has a fucking Jay Leno chin?!??!?! by Motoko Kusanagi	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:50:15 AM
What. The. Fuck.
Seriously Public Enemies looks badass..... by TheWaqman	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:51:30 AM
I'm definitely sold on Depp as Dillinger. I hope Bale's wooden acting doesn't hold back the film though.
Where the Wild Things Are!!!!.... by TheWaqman	Jan 2nd, 2009 12:52:38 AM
you fuckers should be jizzing your pants over those stills. They look great, and it's Spike Jonze!!! Let's hope the studio isn't holding him back like the rumors suggested.

Wow by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 2nd, 2009 03:13:48 AM
Thise Terminator pics are shocking...and not in a good way.
Public Enemies by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 2nd, 2009 03:27:07 AM
in July? Weird, they should release it in the fall. Your average brat teenager isn't going to go see a Michael Mann film when shit like Land of the Lost and T4 is playing.
Pulp Fiction by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 2nd, 2009 03:27:53 AM

The Best Part Of T4 Will Be by LaserPants	Jan 2nd, 2009 09:40:15 AM
When it completely pwns AVATAR at the box office. Also, when it repairs the damage done by the ridiculously awful T2: WE WUB WOO ROBODADDY. Suddenly, everyone will be forced to finally admit that Cameron made two good movies -- Terminator and Aliens -- and everything else he's made has been mediocre-to-awful. Search your weird teutonic robot father complex, you know it to be true.

Life-size cardboard Rorschach stand-ups in Hot Topic by BrandLoyalist	Jan 2nd, 2009 09:54:02 AM
Just read of this in a story by Rob Worley on (what's left of) Comics2film (sniff). Tacky... don't they know, this book is like Shakespeare to us? Spencer's is the place for the life-size Rorschach cutouts. PS: don't ever buy anything from Spencer's; I give you the Great Pacific Garbage Vortex, an area of ocean at least twice the size of Texas where there's more plastic than plankton (just ask the jellyfish who eat it): http://tinyurl.com/95tkls
I am more... by The Eskimo	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:24:11 AM
...excited about reading the talk backs for these films than seeing the actual movie. Wild Things R looks like it has potential. Was pleasantly surprised cause I had already written than one off...
Harry Potter spoiler on photo 12 by estacado1	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:32:44 AM
Just warning. I spoiled it for me. I don't know if knowing who Harry hooks up with and who died will ruin my experience but I prefer not to know.
yeah whats up with those massive Potter spoilers? by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:41:17 AM
Not every person on the planet has read these fucking books. Some just like to enjoy the movies. Fuck me. Dumb cunts.
Michael Cera as a caveman = teh awesome by gruntybear	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:41:30 AM
Especially if that caveman has the usually polite "George Michael" tics. With that one shot, "Year One" went from no interest to a "must see."
YES! E.W. FUCKING POTTER SPOILERS! FUCK! by half vader	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:54:16 AM
Why is it so damn hard to conceive of the notion that MILLIONS of people go see the films without reading the books first? FUCK! No point in seeing the rest of them now I guess. The whole problem with the 1st film and to a lesser extent the 2nd are that they're so beholden to the books they DON'T WORK as FILMS. Thanks God they learned their lesson with the 3rd flick. No more narrative dead-ends and redundant scenes. And the very worst thing about the first couple being ostensibly ads for the books (which is redundant in itself) is that when you're that slavish, the only difference between the book and the film is that with the film you don't even have to USE your fucking imagination. The last couple of flicks were pretty much just marking time though. The funny thing is, I was 'saving' the books 'til after the films finished. Oh well. I doubt that they'll end the way I think they should with Ron dying as an ultimate act of bravery/sacrifice - obviously I subscribe to Harrison Ford's theory that for Han to have had a full character arc he had to die. Same with Ron. I bet we don't get put out of our misery with Snape either in the next one... Back on topic, I hope Warners bars E.W. from any HP story or picture from here on to teach 'em a bloody lesson. I thought I was doing well and that a "first look" photo caption would be safe...
I'll only be intersted if Cera actually plays George Michael... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:56:00 AM
...in a biopic. It could be epic.
Mmm Dannyglovers by half vader	Jan 2nd, 2009 10:59:32 AM
In the time it took me to spew that out you said it more succinctly than I ever could. I did send E.W. an email of wall-to-wall profanities though. That made me feel even better than venting here. I forgot to call 'em cunts though... Grunty, I thought Michael Cera was actually Jennifer Saunders there at first glance! I wish that boy would grow some eyebrows!
EMAIL THESE FUCKERS RIGHT HERE!! by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Jan 2nd, 2009 11:06:54 AM
letters@ew.com Give them a piece of your mind. And put a ton of FUCKS and CUNTS in there.

John Travolta's son Jett just died. That's very sad. As a father I can sympathize, though I don't understand as I've never been through this. My prayers go out to the family at this difficult time.
Motoko Kusanagi by Jaws Wayne	Jan 2nd, 2009 05:11:51 PM
Dude, you're not actually the most intelligent guy either are you ? Now go polish up that shiny cock-ring, with J.C.'s engraved initials, and screw another hole in your Ahnuld carboard standee, and please leave any comments about any Cameron related films to yourself you silly boy.
the J.C. cock ring.... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Jan 2nd, 2009 05:56:37 PM
...does this stand for James Cameron, or Jesus Christ, or J.C. Chasez of N'Sync fame? I must know.
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD, a grown man by I Dunno	Jan 2nd, 2009 06:42:58 PM

That's a T-600 not an T-800.... by thecomedian	Jan 2nd, 2009 06:47:56 PM
And I hope to hell they're doing what I think they're doing. From what I've seen it looks like they're doing the T-600's just like Kyle Resse described them. Creepy rubber skinned Animatronic monsters that people can tell aren't really human because of the uncanny valley. This would be so close to real life because the Japanese keep trying to make these same kind of Androids and every time people see them they're creeped the fuck out. They make my skin crawl. See for yourselves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =WcMqdIWNyWo.

Well take your pick Danny, the name you're looking for can be found among these. All I'm saying is that the initials on Motoko's much beloved and treasured item do not stand for the crucified chap or lovely Jenn Connelly.

I second the motion, Potatino by PTSDPete	Jan 3rd, 2009 12:46:38 AM
" Slayer in 3D ", it should be ! Fuck it, why can't we be more like the '80s, sometimes ? ( Even if it, for the most part, SUCKS ?) This decade feels like the dingy,lameoid, rancid, no-fun B-side of that erstwhile gangbusters time. If it weren't just for the more superior films and the SEVERAL LIGHT YEARS BETTER television...
Quite Excellent, Remarkable Films by PTSDPete	Jan 3rd, 2009 12:55:54 AM
In the least. Don't wanna go on dignifying INDY 4 and the capitulation of horror and violent action, or anything ( and most of the Star Wars Prequels ). So, not exactly ' more superior ' to the decade in the sense, and across the board - I think the adjective is far too superlative, and that the technical standards and general edge of that era must be made paramount more often - but in the least, within the stable of New Hollywood, and the '80s cinema into possibly going beyond. Even though some are sterling improvements already as they are( Casino Royale, The Dark Knight, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men ). So I'm clear.
betterlookingthanyou by Jaws Wayne	Jan 3rd, 2009 06:35:42 AM
I knew there was at least one Talkbacker thinking that I spent hours to come up with that JC list. That was a 5 second job, these intial name lists can easily be Googled up, I haven't even heard of a lot of those !
