Upcoming movie

Ok, while going to see Predators on Thursdays I saw two movies that I can't believe that they have made and are going to be released.

The first one is called Piranha's 3D. First off I can't believe that a big budget movie has been made of this concept. The concept itself has not been popular, outside of direct-to-tv SyFy movies, since the mid-90's and hasn't been done well IMO since Jaws.

The Second one is called The Smurfs. On one hand it is a blast from the past that brings back found memories of childhood. On the other hand it is a Live Action movie about a cartoon from my past, so the studio is probably going to be raping my memories of it... but ... Who am I kidding, I'm still probably going to see it coming opening weekend.

So what are your all's thoughts on these movies, and any other movies that you happen to see?

It annoys me that they're making a show about killer piranha and they still have Meg in development hell.

Much less the fact that Pirahnas 3D is just a rehashing/"re-imagining" of a film from the late 70's.

TO be fair.. Piranha's 3d was a pretty good scholock fic.. that worked for the most part, should have cut out the girlfriend and 'jerk boyfriend' roles tho and let the nice porn star live. (Especially the jerk boyfriend... I know plots not a big point in these things, but even by scholock pics they didn't spend anywhere near enough time on the guy to establish him as 'the jerk BF who gets his grisly just desserts')

Actually makeing the nice porn girl the main female lead would have made it even better. Oh and definitatly lose the piranha burp scene...


That being said I have recently discovered a even larger horror on the horizon online...

Uwe Boll's..... Auschwitz....


Let me repeat that.. Uwe Boll, perhaps the worst director of all time, is making a holocaust movie.....


*Severe eyetwitch* just mentioning that makes me want to HURT something.

No. Unfortunately, it couldn't.

Apologies, but I've forgotten the source so I can't link, but essentially Uwe Boll is in the business to make movies that LOSE money -- like in the Producers, if he makes a hit movie his business model falls apart.

He's taking advantage of some laws that Germany passed to help their own internal movie industry -- the gist of the article was that he was using the laws as they were intended to be used, but no one ever expected someone to purposely make movies so bad and try to make an overall profit on the subsidies.

Surprsied no one mentioned this...

okay okay, its probably a fake thing... but the fact that it has a voltorb Carbomb in the clip gives it some Lulz points.

@ Borgin.

I thought they repealed those laws? For precisely the reason you mentioned. It was costing the German government millions to subsidize Boll's movies, and he wasn't the only abuser of the system. Just the most successful.

Pirates 4.

Trailer here: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR_9A-cUEJc' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR_9A-cUEJc</a>

All things considered, having a movie about Jack Sparrow on an adventure removed from the dead weight of the second and third movie (literally everything not Jack Sparrow or Barbosa related) doesn't sound so bad.

Makes me wonder what the Pirates trilogy would be like if they had abandoned the whole Star Wars formula of one stand alone movie and connecting sequels and had made more of an Indiana Jones formula of <s>four</s> three stand alone adventure movies involving Jack Sparrow and not the entire cast of the first one.

I'm guessing it's one of those things that looks really good in a closed room after a night with no sleep and by the time you come to your senses the contract's already signed.

They're gonna produce this movie, its gonna be a box office BOMB(like hardcore box office bomb) and they're gonna cry.

"Waaaaaaah, we dont understand! Everybody likes comics right? Waaaaaaaaaah." Motherfucker, you made a movie out of a one box sunday comic strip. The fuck you think was going to happen?


it's the same thing with video game movies.

"Waaaah why didnt it do well? Gamers like video games right so why didnt they like the movie?"

Well maybe cause a shitload of your movies are based on the video game in title only?

There's already a decent movie and miniseries. Does Dune really need another reboot, especially with Pattinson?

On the other hand we could try being optimistic for a change. Maybe, depending on the director, it'll be somewhat good?

Also, it seems you're looking at speculative rumors. There's nothing confirmed, only the wild masses guessing as they gush over their teenage heartthrob.

In happier news, (For me, anyways) apparently Anne Hathaway has been confirmed as Catwoman for the upcoming Batman movie. This cheers me immensely.
