One of the reasons why I didn't re-Wii for NSMB is because it seemed like there was too much hyperbole around the game.

For those types of instances, I always wait a couple of months because hyperbole dies down and rationality begins, unless it's Killzone 2 or Uncharted but it works 90% of the time.

It is rather good.  I had about the same fun with it as I did dragon age.  Multiplayer is a blast.

NSMBWii felt like a fan made rom hack of NSMB with Mario 3 level inspiration.  It's ok, but pretty boring tbh.

What? Why do people feel bad for Whitta? He wrote a bad script, big deal.

I saw Avatar a second time yesterday (relatives were in town and wanted to see it) and some guy in front of me was buying 12 tickets to Eli and mentioned to the box office person "I know the guy who wrote it". Sigh.

I believe this is what's called a "sycophant".

[The Fake Shemp]

Do people think Whitta is going to reimburse their ticket purchases or give them fellatio for buying mass quantities?

"I know the writer, personally. We are on the same Internet forum. We're practically friends. He invited me to the premiere, y'know, but I didn't want to steal any of his thunder. We're writing a buddy cop movie next."

[Great Rumbler]

Solo had the right of it in the Rottenwatch thread for Book of Eli where he said he'd watch the movie on its own merits not because he was kind of/sort of something of a distant acquaintance, but not really, of the guy who wrote it.

Amazing post.

 

[Phoenix Dark]

Can you imagine how much money they could make if the original band re-formed for a tour? Rose is a huge douche but I'm still kinda shocked they haven't at least tried to re-group recently.

Same with Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. Some of them have to be watching how much money the Stones pour in yearly and think about touring. Floyd is in a sort of similar position as Guns n Roses in terms of having a douchebag member (Wright) no one wants to deal with, but Zeppelin has no excuse.

"Travolta had his Battlefield Earth, Costner had his Waterworld and now Denzel Washington has his truly awful sci-fi epic, The Book of Eli."

Whitta killed Denzel.  :'(

[Phoenix Dark]

Are mods banning people who slam the movie on GAF? Haven't really payed attention to the Whitta lovefest over there.

I wonder what would have happened there if he wrote Transformers II

[duckman2000]

That would be ironic since Whitta is quite the troll himself. But I guess biting sarcasm and unapologetic criticism is for others.

No. EviLore called it shit  himself in the Rottenwatch thread.

I got accused of sucking up to EviLore because I quoted his post in agreement.

Waters is the one they hate (Wright died recently)

No worries Gary, I'm heading to see it this weekend because unlike the mainstream, no one tells me what to like or dislike based on their interpretation of a movie.

Goddamn, I'm loving that Book of Eli rottenwatch thread.

[The Fake Shemp]

Wait, is The Book of Eli like really bad or just mediocre?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

GAF being GAF again.  BFPC jokes about people buying 90 tickets to see the movie (an obvious exaggeration to anyone who isn't a simple manchild) but you got GAF members say "NO, WE DID NOT BUY 90 TICKETS."

I'd like to second this.

Overall, I find BobFromPikeCreek to be a shitty poster.

LOL

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I'm so sad.

[Flannel Boy]

A didactic and humorless Western, Eli is too laborious for an action film and too brutal to be an inspirational tale. With its handsomely moody look, it seems more like an extended music video. Mostly, Eli is hampered by drab performances and a ponderous story

ouch

[The Fake Shemp]

Holy shit, EviLore just typed up a paragraph about how ridiculous the plot is

I wonder if Whitta responds.

[The Fake Shemp]

Don't worry, we love you Bob - no matter if you don't buy 90 tickets to see Candy Land: The Motion Picture when it hits theaters.

[Flannel Boy]

Wow. That was brutal.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I'll pirate it 90 times!

[The Fake Shemp]

I imagine when Candy Land wraps, that everyone here will mock me and download it illegally, depriving my film of any sort of commercial success. Then you guys will slag on it endlessly and call me a failure. :'(

Oh my God.

"GARY, YOU TRULY ARE THE NEW CHARLIE KAUFMAN! A WRITER FOR OUR TIMES!"

... Although, it does like The Book of Eli will be the first flick to knock Avatar off its perch.

[Flannel Boy]

The Book of Eli is like a movie based on a graphic novel you don't want to read. D

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20336502,00.html

Should've gotten Will to do a rewrite.

[The Fake Shemp]

I dare someone to post:

"Films with higher aggregated scores than The Book of Eli on Rottentomatoes: Daybreakers, Brothers, It's Complicated, Armored, Astro Boy, Disney's A Christmas Carol, Avatar, The Men Who Stare at Goats, IMAX Under the Sea 3D et al."

[The Fake Shemp]

That's true, he does deserve some credit for bringing James Cameron back down to Earth. We will all know the answer to the Trivial Pursuit question, "What was the name of the film that finally knocked Avatar out of first place in the US box-office?"

[Flannel Boy]

"shit i know this one. What's that terrible post-apocalyptic movie . . . Waterworld?"

[The Fake Shemp]

Also for a blue piece:

"What's the name of the short-lived writer of Candy Land: The Motion Picture who died of a drug overdose shortly after its premiere at Cannes?"

[Fresh Prince]

It's like that dude again Didak, Dyack someone.

[cool breeze]

Yesterday I was waiting around in a movie theater, holding a pair of 3D glasses, and two random people came up to complain about Avatar being sold out all night and how they were stuck watching Book of Eli instead.  True story.

The two disgruntled moviegoers and the trailers are all I can go on.  I'll watch it eventually, on TV, in the background while I do something else on my PC.  I almost want to go back and read the trailer impression thread to see whose opinion hold more weight.  All the trailers and commercials were, I thought, pretty bad.  It really reminds me of the Max Payne movie for some reason (not Mila Kunis' fault).

[The Fake Shemp]

Dude, how can you NOT see it with quotes like these:

"Gary Whitta. You are amazing."

... I better hear similar things from you guys once Candy Land hits the screen.
