Title: San Diego Comic Con - Don't give up a seat = get fucking stabbed
Post by: ManaByte on July 24, 2010, 08:51:36 PM
This just happened an hour ago and Hall H is still locked down by the cops.

Around 4:45 after the Resident Evil panel was over and before the Marvel Studios panel some idiots decided to try to muscle two people out of their seats. The two sitting down refused to move so the guy who really wanted the seats began attacking them and stabbed out their eyes with his pen. He and the girl he was with were dragged out of Hall H in cuffs with their con exclusive Harry Potter shirts drenched in blood.

Did he really stab their eyes out?  Holy shit.  I don't think how much blood the dude has on his shirt is really a major issue of this part is true.

Yeah. Favreau's direction isn't special but it has a very very good cast. Kurtzman & Orci wrote it and then Damon Lindelof re-wrote it. And Steven Spielberg is producing it. No reason to dismiss it yet.

I am intrigued by the concept and especially the Ford/Craig/Rockwell team up.

If there is one thing Favreau is good at on his mediocre Iron Man films is he allows a lot adlibbing. Which with a cast like this leaves a lot of room for some fun material.

My life is oveeeeer.

Orci & Kurtzman wrote Star Trek which I enjoyed, and unlike most of theie films the head writer of Lost did a draft on this after.

Oh and not every movie Spielberg produces is at the quality level of Transformers. :o

Oh and I kind of want to see Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, and Sam Rockwell have fun blowing up aliens, but that is just me.

Kurtzman and Orci are two of the worst writers working in Hollywood right now.

A Spielberg producing credit is NOT a guarantee of quality, as the Transformers movies have made clear.

The movie will be shit.

Maybe in ten years we'll have a Federman-penned, Trahan-directed reboot of the Cowboys & Aliens franchise...I can only hope.

Yeah. And Superman. Nolan said both franchises as long as he is overseeing them will never co-exist in the same universe. I mean WB could do it after he is bored with the franchises but they'd have to recast and all of that (Bale, Oldman, etc all say they wont do the movies without Nolan) and it'd be far easier to just reboot it. Plus trying to use Nolans worlds would likely piss off Nolan quite a bit and WB wants to keep Nolan in house.

I suspect both Batman and Superman we be rebooted after Nolan gets his hands off of them to be more..comic booky in line with the more light hearted looking Green Lantern.


so will Avengers
I agree. Waaaay too over-stuffed with characters and Whedon is in far over his head.

Green Lantern will bomb.
Is there anything you think won't fail?

The victim was transported at 5:03 p.m. to Sharp Memorial Hospital, fire officials said. Police described the injury as a minor cut “on or near the eyelid.”

The way he described it sounds like he is going for a big budget blockbuster version of Pan's Labyrinth which is why I am intrigued. If it's another Hellboy type of affair though...then no thanks.

I have a feeling Del Toro is on the verge of becoming the next Tim Burton, making movies that constantly have the same look and more interested in creature/set design than anything else. I hope I am wrong though.

POTC3 was an abortion. Easily the worst film I've seen in theaters. I know you hate Spider Man 3 Willco, but you must admit it was the better (not best) blockbuster that year.

I think one of the major problems with PotC 3 [and to a lesser extent PotC 2] was that they had some many characters from the previous movies and brand new characters added in that you've suddenly got a dozen main characters that are all running around doing things. PotC 1 was much more focused in that regard.

This, this, this, one thousand times over this.

The original is one of my favorite movies ever.  When I heard about a sequel, I figured they'd just keep Depp and introduce a whole new cast, but nope, they just had to bring everyone back and try to make it more serious and "deeper."   :-\  Maybe this fourth movie will get back to basics.  Isn't it supposed to be Jack Sparrow racing against Barbossa to find the Fountain of Youth?

I don't pretend that its sequels don't exist like I do with the Matrix, though.

None were great, none were horrible, all were forgettable.

Eh, it was alright. You aren't the only one who disagrees with me. Just never got into the films at all.

And, sorry, rewatched Raiders last night. the first POTC film IS NOT Indiana Jones.

It's not :lol

1st one was this gens Indiana Jones. Then it all went to shit.
Let's not get over the top here. The first pirates is a lot of fun but raiders is the best adventure movie of all time and will long outlast potc, people will still watch raiders in 20 years.....potc1 not so much.

Transformers is one of those movies like The Towering Inferno; it made a lot of money but it isn't going to hold up at all ten years from now.

Still, in ten years I think I'll be able to enjoy Crystal Skull on some level.  I don't think it's an AWFUL movie, just a very average one.  Harrison Ford was in good form and performed way, way better than I expected.  I really hope he does a couple more Indy films before he really is too old.

The POTC series suffered cause everything had to do with Jack from Dead Mans Chest onwards, I hate when they take an awesome character and make him the main focus to the point that you stop caring about him.

What? The problem with At World's End was all the shitty characters/pointless plot diversions that were a waste of time. See: Tia Dalma
Jack being the focus is part of what is making people hopeful for the fourth movie.

A Spielberg producing credit is NOT a guarantee of quality, as the Transformers movies have made clear.
True, which is why I am not 100% positive it will be great. But I have no idea what about it guarantees you it will be shit. It has a chance at being a lot of fun based on the cast and concept.

Crystal Skull would've been fine but the tone was all off, everything was jokey jokey call backs - the entire time Ford was playing himself having fun being Indian Jones. It was hard to take anything seriously.

The fridge scene gets unduly hate as the symbol of how shitty it was - it was perfectly fine except for the fact that it was fling like a mile through the air. The scene would've played out so different if it wasn't made with floaty, massleess CG that shat up the movie.

I really dug the original Pirates flick, I wanted to like the sequel and the third was one of the worst tentpole flicks I saw in theaters (it gives Transformers 2 and Matrix Revolutions both a run for their money). It's going to take something pretty fucking good to put my ass in a seat.
Yeah. Thankfully, a story from Tim Powers is pretty fucking good. Blackbeard played by the scariest badass from Deadwood is also noteworthy. It's possible that they'll screw it up, but I'm hopeful.

Crystal Skull was better than the first POTC.

I haven't seen Munich, but I like most of Minority Report and like half of AI. 

Come to think of it Haley Joel Osment is like the male Katie Holmes.  He's perpetually stupid looking.

That's why I think he's good in AI.  I was able to believe he was a robot acting like a human.

Maybe, but "pre-crimes police JUST LIKE IN MINORITY REPORT" has kinda slipped into the cultural vocabulary. Also, the 3D GUI is still constantly referred to to this day. Neither speak really to the quality of the movie itself, but I don't think it's been as forgotten as some might think.

The third cut is the best. It incorporates the added scenes of the special edition minus the un-needed view of inside the ship that Sony forced Spielberg to add when they let him go back and finish up the movie. I've never seen the special edition and never will, we weren't meant to know what the inside of the ship was supposed to look like and so I don't want to know.
