So, my experience with Evil Dead was pretty bad.

Not because of the movie itself, but because of my theater. I wanted to watch it during an early AM showing yesterday, but my girl wanted to go with a couple of her friends, one of which couldn't make it until a night-show. Whatever, that was fine. Except, she ended up canceling on us anyways, and we went without her.

A group of five-six ghetto kids (and when I say ghetto kids, I mean white kids who talk like they're black), right behind me had a running commentary for the first 45-50 minutes of the film. "Oh he's hella dumb! I hope he dies first. Aww, Grandpa! That dog better die!" Literally one of those kind of kids. People around us would tell them to keep it down, but they would act like they couldn't hear.

During one of the main grabbers of the film a girl in the row ahead of me stood up and yelled at the kids, threatened them, and the entire theater laughed at the kids as they proceeded to shut the hell up the rest of the movie. :lol:

That was a little like my experience.. The difference was "the kids" was spoiling the movie..because they saw the scene in a trailer..

Thanks. I haven't seen any of those except for Sunshine...which was great by the way. You should def check it out.
 
I'm all for 42, but did the trailer really just say, "Before LeBron, before Aaron, before Ali, there was Robinson."

:smh:
 
Don't give up on ScarJo yet, I just think she hasn't found/been offered the right roles to kinda catapult her where her potential can definitely take her.

They never explain why they made humans and they don't explain why they planned on killing them all right? Not sure on the motive of the robot either for what it did or even what it said to the alien in the end. As far as the ending ending that's w/e.

All in all movie was good. I had to laugh at myself half way through when I kept asking where is Guy Pearce at? :lol:

Oh and the dumbest part had to be trying to out run the length of the ship falling instead of the width of it. Like how dumb can one be?

The guy who wrote lost is responsible for it. Do not overthink it. There is no reason to. He throws stuff at the wall and let's his cult fans play mad libs.

Oh ok, cuz it seemed very straightforward and certain things that should've been answered like why the robot poisoned dude weren't. I was okay with the stuff about the aliens not being revealed cuz questions like that require profound answers and they rarely ever satisfy.

It was just that with all of this hype to the movie and that long *** thread I assumed there was more to it. Makes a lot more sense now given who did it.

Equilibrium is special. It came out before The Matrix, but I remember people going on about how it ripped off The Matrix. :smh: It was the movie that taught me the Sean Bean rule. I remember trying to convince myself people could really do that gunkata **** if they learned it. :lol:

And Taye Diggs. :wow: :nerd: :nthat:


Did anyone recommend Children of Men to you. Cuz it's ****** up if they didn't.

[h2]Do You Have An Idea For 'Prometheus 2'? A "Freaking Out" Fox Probably Wants To Hear It[/h2]by Kevin Jagernauth March 27, 2013 4:38 PM

680x478


If there is one (potential) franchise that continues to be a muddle of confused ideas, it's "Prometheus." We'll spare you the blow-by-blow (again), but generally speaking, Jon Spaihts wrote a script that was a (more) direct prequel to "Alien" (including facehuggers) like had been initially planned, and then Damon Lindelof was brought in and it became the movie you saw last summer (you can read about some of the differences here). But for all the supposed mystery of "Prometheus," Ridley Scott wasted no opportunity to explain away everything  and even toss in a loose tie to "Blade Runner" because why the **** not. So needless to say, the waters have become a bit muddied, and Fox is reportedly none too pleased.

Bloody Disgusting says that according to their sources, the studio and Scott himself are "freaking out" over where to take "Prometheus 2." As you might recall, Lindelof won't be returning  (which is why they are apparently at a loss of what to do), though there is apparently some movement with Noomi Rapace telling us recently that she met with Scott to talk about the movie. According to the horror site, the filmmakers "are taking pitches from basically anyone  who can crack the story" but why not just bring Spaihts back in who told Empire last fall that he had already planned and discussed sequels with Scott way back in the day? Well, allow us to make a few suggestions here.

Were there is smoke there tends to be fire, and if we were to take a wild stab in the dark, our guess is that Fox is concerned with a "Prometheus 2" insofar as it keeps the "Alien" brand as a whole alive. That's the only reason that movie got greenlit in the first place -- it was a famed director, returning to an iconic series (kind of) for the first time in decades, in something that wasn't just a bunch of monsters killing each other, which is what the franchise had devolved into. But with "Prometheus" finishing with Elizabeth Shaw and bionic Michael Fassbender traveling to some other planet to keep looking for the creator/main Engineer/God/whatever, it seems the whole point of this prequel got lost somewhere. This probably isn't really about making "Prometheus 2" so much as turning the story back toward facehuggers and other familiar tropes of the franchise. Again, that's just our guess.

For his part, Lindelof tweeted "I don't believe Ridley Scott has ever freaked out in his life" and in a lengthy email to Slashfilm, weighs in on Bloody Disgusting's report. "During the creative process of 'Prometheus,' all involved (that includes Fox and Ridley) had a strong desire for this film to launch off in its own way so that by the end, it would not connect directly to the original 'Alien,' but instead run parallel to it. This is something that I talked about many, many times in the press burst around the release of the movie," Lindelof said. "As you probably remember, there was a lot of interest as to whether Prometheus was a 'prequel' — the answer was, 'Yes. Sort of. But if there was a sequel to Prometheus, it would not be 'Alien.' "

Adding that his slate became busy as he started working with Brad Bird on "Tomorrowland," Lindelof insists that he's not the key to the future of "Prometheus" and more he feels there are any number of writers suitable to come on board. "As to whether Ridley and Fox are 'freaking out' about me not working on a sequel, well that’s news to me," he continued. "I retain awesome relationships with both. More importantly, the idea that there aren’t many, MANY writers out there capable of taking the reins is sort of ridiculous. I did not map out a trilogy and then walk when the going got tough. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know me and doesn’t know the truth."

And lastly, Lindelof clearly refutes this latest rumor: "...denying the story I am. I will take all the abuse in the world for the things I have done, but I refuse to take it for the things I have not. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it."

Long story short: dudes need a story for "Prometheus 2." Badass Digest adds, ”Fox has been taking many, many meetings with screenwriters, and that screenwriters have been pretty much bringing in their own pitches, not working within an established frame” which suggest that might be up for changing things up.
