Came across this one a few days ago, it's obviously not a real movie trailer but it's a pretty hilarious clip (Star Trek meets Brokeback Mountain): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xSOuLky3n0.

Any Netflix members here? Try watching Red Cliff in streaming HD. The video quality is amazing, and it's an incredible film, though the version presented is a truncated version of the much-longer original. You know what I hate the most about selfish people? It's that they don't think enough about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Inception made over $21 million on Friday; Sorcerer's Apprentice's made $5 million. So Inception will be a box office star, with a possible $60 million three-day opening weekend. And Sorcerer's Apprentice will be a box office bomb, with a probable three-day opening weekend around $15 million.

I just checked box office mojo and Inception is stil at 21 millions but Sorcerer's has 12 millions. I don't think the studios are going to scream with joy in either case.
I imagine that both movies cost over 100 million to produce so unless the trends changes. These movies will take a long while to make their money back.

I'm going to try and see Sorcere's apprentice today so I'll have abetter idea of why it's not making more money. Long live the Brown Coats.

I saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice and my first thought is that it's lacking something. There are too many characters
that are there only to move the story by a little and then get killed off. The acting is not bad but I expected better from key players. The effect are decent and don't necessarily involve CGI out the wazzoo. There is a scene that's a nod to another Sorcerer's apprentice named Mickey.

If you want a simple movie that won't tax your brain and will keep you entertained for just over an hour and a half then the Sorcerer's Apprentice should satisfy you. Long live the Brown Coats.

150 million is apparently closer to the real figure.

What I don't like about this movie is that I'm kind of sick of Nicholas Cage.

Thanks for the info. They didn't have the movie budget when I checked the current movie gross yesterday. I think it's going to have a hard time making the money they were hoping for in America. It should do well when you start to tabulate Oversea box office profits.

I like Nic Cage but it's more the roles he plays than the man. I have seen some great movies that he starred in and I've avoided as many if not more because he was in them.
He can sometime play too weird for my taste. Long live the Brown Coats.

The critics/reviewers are writing about The Sorcerer's Apprentice as a box office disappointment. "The film looks likely to register just $60 million-$70 million domestically, suggesting a possible corporate write-off of up to $100 million unless the release dramatically overperforms overseas." Production cost was at least $160 million, and Disney was hoping for a franchise like National Treasure or Pirates of the Caribbean. Marketing for Sorcerer's was around $50 million.

Mega-star producer Jerry Bruckheimer has had four major disappointments in his last four times out:
Sorcerer's Apprentice
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
G-Force
Confessions of a Shopaholic

But he is a major producer for both theatrical movies and for TV.

This movie doesn't appear to be my cup of tea. And I'm not really sure that a gay zombie movie is life-affirming. But Australia has banned a softcore "gay zombie porn" movie from playing at an Australian film festival.

On second thought, if we are facing an invasion of gay zombies in Los Angeles, maybe we should ban them from our fair city too.

I don't mind gay, but gay zombies???

Gay zombie movie banned by Australian censors (Reuters)
Source: Reuters 3 hours, 22 minutes ago


TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) - "L.A. Zombie," a Canadian indie film described by the Melbourne International Film Festival as "gay zombie porn," has been denied an Australian festival berth by local censors.

The Australian Film Classification Board concluded that implied sex with corpses by an alien zombie in Los Angeles, breached local taste standards.

"L.A. Zombie" will receive a world premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland on August 5, before its North American bow at the Toronto festival in September, according to the film's producers. It was to have screened in Melbourne on August 7 and 8.

Director Bruce LaBruce said the censors viewed only the softcore version of his film, "which features no explicit anally penetrative sex."

LaBruce has built a directorial career shooting hardcore pornography that aims to produce a return for financiers, along with a second softcore version with auteur touches that can screen on the festival circuit to critical acclaim.

The hardcore version of "L.A. Zombie" will be released separately on Halloween after the softcore version plays the international festival circuit.

"Although apparently the Australian Classification Board has no problem passing all manner of mainstream torture porn movies which feature, amongst other things, the rape and dismemberment of women, it's interesting that they have no stomach for a movie that reaffirms life," LaBruce said in a statement.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger comes out in support of fellow actor Mel Gibson.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Schwarzenegger compares Mel Gibson to oil leak

Wed Jul 21, 7:49 pm ET

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Terminator is taking a few shots at the Road Warrior.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wise-cracked about Mel Gibson on Wednesday, comparing him to the Gulf of Mexico oil leak.

Schwarzenegger told a group of utility commissioners in Sacramento that while BP appears to have contained its well, "no one has figured out how to contain Mel Gibson."

A celebrity website has posted audio recordings of what it says are Gibson's profanity-laced tirades against his ex-girlfriend.

Schwarzenegger also told participants to turn off their cell phones "because we are expecting a call from him."

Gibson spokesman Alan Nierob says he is happy to hear that Schwarzenegger is maintaining a sense of humor, adding, "He's obviously paving the way for a return to showbiz."

Too bad no one ever figured out how to contain Arnold Schwarzenegger. Seriously, how did you Californians ever elect him?

I really don't have any problem with Mel Gibson--even with all of his nutty tirades, crusades, and whatnots in recent years--as long as he doesn't get into politics! Let him make all the insanely violent films he can dream up, arrest him every time he gets drunk and lets his antisemitic side loose, but please don't actually put him in charge of people outside of a film set.

Is that jealousy speaking, because Arnold chose to make his home in the Golden State?

Arnold came to this country a penniless immigrant, and through hard work and the magic of the Hollywood movie kingdom, Arnold became a multi-millionaire, married into the Kennedy family to give it new blood, and led California into massive bankruptcy. What better man to lead the entire nation as our beloved President? Let us gather to change the Constitution to allow this humble immigrant the right to bear arms and terminate all foreign evils and lead us all into an era of love, prosperity, and high-definition, high-explosive 3D blockbusters.

Lol, where was all the anti-immigration 'reform' when Arnold was coming to the U.S.? Just think, we might never have had "Jingle All the Way" had things been different.

Not really on the usual topic of this thread, since it is mostly about blockbusters, but the Italian movie I Am Love is excellent. Tilda Swinton is very good in it, as well as naked quite a bit (since this is PU). Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.
Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited.

On the subject of Tilda and nudity. I highly recommend you Check out Female Perversion. Nudity and lesbianism in decent quantity. Long live the Brown Coats.

I saw Inception today - wasn't planning on it, but some people in another forum recommended it highly. It was worth seeing, though it didn't blow me away as it did the other people. I liked Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time in a movie since "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" or whatever the name of that was. Finally he's got enough age and a look of ravishment about him to believe weighed-down-and-miserable that he seems to enjoy playing so much.

Oh, and it's got Ellen Page looking adorable and a really cool sequence where they play with the physics of dream-states.

One problem for me with the movie Inception is that the rules in the dream state change whenever the characters want to change the rules. You can't do this because the rules say you can't, then it turns out you can do it after all. This happens again and again. And we are supposed to sit back and feel awe and wonder that the characters are so brilliant and inventive and can change the rules, without realizing the rules are thrown out the window whenever the plot needs new rules. It's not just that these are the experts who are exploring uncharted territory: they are creating new rules and new territory whenever they need to.
And how many men can an extraction team of what, 6 people, take on in firefights in extreme conditions?
How about 200? Or 400? Why not 4 billion, since our heroes (one woman among them) can dodge bullets, assassins, explosions, an avalanche, and whatever else might be a danger.
Movies like James Bond are unrealistic, but this goes way beyond James Bond, because these people are not only action-adventure stars, but they are creating their own worlds as they go along.
I like science fiction, but the internal logic of this movie is nonsense.

Matrix, a movie exploring a future world, at least had internal logic. You set up a world with rules, and you follow those rules. Inception does not have internal logic: the rules keep changing. Where is the suspense in the audience supposed to come from, when the heroes can pull a new rabbit out of the hat whenever they have to?

But most people seem to ignore the illogic in Inception. And I don't know why. Edited on Jul 25, 2010, 06:18pm

All true, lk - the good thing about it - and the thing many action movies don't have - was that it had an emotional center to the whole thing - the loss that one character felt (trying not to do any spoilers here if I can). That kept me watching it, wondering how that was going to play out - lots of the rest of the movie - too much - was pseudo-video-game-arcade crap.

I caught Inception this weekend too and generally liked it. Lots of "layers" for the movie to dive into and you can read as much into it (or out of it) as you like. I thought it was well done, not too much cgi, good story, good acting (Ellen Paige didn't really hold up her end but she was playing the token female role), and some decent action.

As for logic, the whole premise of the movie is fucked when you think about it. If Leonardo needs some megarich dude to get him back into the US you would think all he'd have to do is extract some info from a judge, blackmail him and waltz back into the states ... or just come across the border like 11 million others have. Yes it has holes but they try to be consistent. Let's face it, the Matrix had lots of holes and I won't even go into some the bizaare and truly bass-akwards logic in some the Star Trek movies. Best movie of the summer so far by me.

The best way to consider this movie is to take the perspective that the entire thing is a dream (it's actually set up that way according to the logic spelled out when Leonardo tells Ellen Paige how the whole dream building thing works). Not a lot of logic in dreams, therefore, my messed up dream logic premise trumps lk2fireone's real world logic (I reject your reality and substitute my own).

Redbox officially has begun offering $1.50-a-night rentals of Blu-ray Discs.

I just recently started using Redbox, and thought their $1 rental fee was a great deal. Now they are raising the price? WTF? Good thing I don't have a blu-ray player, or I would boycott them and ask my buddies at PU to boycott them as well. $1.50 to rent a blu-ray DVD?

I found renting from Redbox to be easy and inexpensive. So far it's been a good experience.

I couldn't follow this at all, lk - you like them? You don't like them?

It's been a good experience, but you want people to boycott them?

$1.50 is exorbitant for a movie rental?

I don't get it at all.

I saw the Swedish film of "The Girl Who Played With Fire" last night and it was the answer to the trivia question, "Why don't we hear much about Swedish suspense movies?" I LOVE the story. I've read the 3 Stieg Larsson books multiple times. And I know there's the old adage of "If you love the book, you'll hate the movie." Perhaps. I found all of the Harry Potter films to be well-done and I enjoyed those books - though not on the level that these have fascinated me.

This was just not a well-made suspense movie. There were MANY scenes that were completely flat and drama-free with nothing in them except some information to move the story along. Sorry, but if you're going to do a scene, put SOMETHING into it - have people act, have some spark of something. They left out all of the dark humor of the books, including the last line of the 2nd book, which was beautiful. Plus they totally distorted the role of the police from that portrayed in the books in both Swedish films and changed the relationship between one of the main characters and the police in both films. Given that, the beginning of the 3rd film will also have to be changed from the book. In every way, I suspect that the 3rd movie - which has less "action" in the story - will be even worse, unfortunately.

Skip the Swedish films. Read the books, wait for the David Fincher films to come out. That's my advice. I have high hopes for Fincher to connect with these books and make exciting movies out of them. Edited on Jul 31, 2010, 04:58pm

I think Redbox is a great bargain. You can rent a DVD for $1 (plus tax) per day, and it's convenient and easy to use.

Redbox just started offering blu ray DVDs to rent, for $1.50 per day.

So I was trying to make a joke that the price increase for a blu ray versus a regular DVD was expensive.

My humor is often not appreciated, I'm afraid.

Redbox is a very nice alternative to Blockbuster, which is much more expensive. But there are also netflix and cable and whatever, for seeing movies.

It's like with e-mail - sometimes written humor is hard to pick up on, since you don't have the voice to give you the clues that it's supposed to be funny. That's why people put "lol" and smilies when they're making jokes - so dunces like me don't respond with "What the hell are you talking about?"

Somewhat off-topic, but I've ignored most Swedish movies ever since the few I saw that were made by the genius, Ingmar Bergman, either gave me fits of depression or put me to sleep. The only exception, The Magic Flute! Three cheers for Hollywood! Its products may not always possess artistic merit but they sure are entertaining!

I don't know if you're into horror but if you are then you should take a look at "Let the right one in" also known as
"Låt den rätte komma in". It's a very good vampire story with some actual emotion and interesting characters. The US liked it so much that they hve made their own version called "Let me in".

Another Swedish film that I really like is "Show me Love" or the original title "Fucking Åmål". This is basically a love story between 2 teenage girls where one develops a crush on the other and as the film progress falls in love with the other girl but her love isn't return immediately because the other girl is very popular at school and doesn't want to admit to her lesbianism. Long live the Brown Coats.

Bergman's stuff is pretty intense. I went to see lots of his stuff when I was living in Boston and was making a point of seeing stuff that I thought I ought to.

It's interesting. Among foreign films, I found that I connected most with films from Germany and Japan on a fairly consistent basis while films from other countries frequently left me cold. The German film-makers, like Fassbinder, Herzog & Wenders were directly addressing the post-WW II question of "what does it mean to be human if humans can do that?" I find that kind of searching in a lot of Scandinavian crime fiction, which the Larsson books turned me onto. Great stuff!

Redbox is probably a bargain on a per disc basis but if you're a frequent renter ('boxer?) it sounds like it could get expensive, even before you start dabbling in Blu-Rays.

Glad you mentioned Netflix, because I didn't want to be solely responsible for starting a disc rental service war here in the forum--don't you just hate those?--though Blockbuster also a Netflix-esque online rental service in order to compete with NF since they started losing a lot of business to them a few years ago.

I have my issues with Netflix but I've been pretty happy with them though I have yet to try Redbox...and probably won't anytime soon. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think my problem is that I like escapist fare because it is so easy on the emotions. The daily news burdens me enough so I like to get away from it all when it comes to movies. I disliked Fassbinder's and Herzog's work as well.

I will never dispute the artistic merit of any of these directors, people with better taste than mine have made that decision for me already. It's just that I'm a "two stars out of five" type of guy, loved and appreciated by all the makers of popcorn movies and summer blockbusters!

Another Swedish film that I really like is "Show me Love" or the original title "Fucking �m�l". This is basically a love story between 2 teenage girls where one develops a crush on the other and as the film progress falls in love with the other girl but her love isn't return immediately because the other girl is very popular at school and doesn't want to admit to her lesbianism.


No to the first paragraph, Pat. I don't like vampire, werewolf or zombie movies unless they are parodies. I don't like horror movies in general.

As to the second paragraph r.e "Show me Love" I would consider it as long as it isn't too emotionally draining (girl whose love isn't immediately returned contemplating suicide, for instance .. something Bergman might do!)

Who's to say that other people's tastes are better than yours? If they don't like your choice in films give them a big and move on. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I've only seen the movie in the original language with subtitles. If the text matches what is said then there is no mention of suicide. It's a rather sweet love story very much like any romantic teen movie where one person is secretely in love with the popular girl at school but in this case the person is a girl in love with another girl.
Like all good love story. They fall in love and live happily ever after. Long live the Brown Coats.

I think that story went out in the dark ages. New love stories have all kinds of variations: the couple splits and find new, separate partners. The couple stays together and one of the partners finds a lover on the side. One lover kills the other, and gets on with her/his life. One partner realizes there's more to life than this joyless union, and searches for meaning and sex. There's just too many variations to list. But falling in love and living happily ever after only happens sometimes, and that's only when there is no sequel.

Now that last line appeals greatly to me. My kind of movie, Pat.

That's basically what I do, turbo. I'll keep watching my thrillers, comedies, sf and fantasy movies with an easy mind and leave the appreciation of "art" in cinema to others.

There is nothing wrong with this. Some folks look for something deeper, more challenging to the emotions and intellect in their movies and I can understand that and therefore acknowledge them as "experts" because I would never be inclined to dissect a movie but simply sit back and treat it as fast food. Not very nourishing but appealing to my taste buds.

I haven't seen Avatar yet. In fact the only people I know who've seen it are my parents and they liked it (and they're in their 60s) but I rarely trust their judgement.
I'll wait for it to appear on telly, because it really doesn't look like my sort of movie. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

My wife and I watched it on TV and liked it. But I guess in order to love it (as my grandson did) you would have to see it in 3D and in an IMax theater.

Let me rephrase my statement and say that the movie chose the older style of love story instead of todays style. I'm well aware that in many of todays love story. One or both of the main characters is a douche and has few redeaming qualities except that he/she always looks good when they smile so we as an audience must discover that the douche only needed true love to become an adorable douche.

The classic love story almost always used the fall in love fall out of love and then fall in love again and that one is forever. Today you don't have that recipe. Instead you tend to have: person A who's in a relationship with person B. but said person B doesn't understand person A
so you need person C who's either boorish or shy but really understands person A in a level that the movie has to demonstrate throught the film because none of us see it
since it makes no sense. At some point person A will hurt person C or vice versa but at the end everything will be all right because person A and person C are together and person B has found person D that no one saw coming.

I'm not sure if the old style of love story is no longer made because Hollywood thinks it's been done to death or because actors/actreesses, writers and directors simply can do it anymore. Maybe they've lost that innocence which is needed for those kind of stories. Long live the Brown Coats.

Maybe they're trying to send an invitation to the PU members here? It depends on whether the "animal" in front of Yogi is male or female. Or it could be that they think all perverts are bi, so it doesn't matter what the sex of the animal in front of Yogi really is.

How do porn actresses get along with their family because of their being in porn? Obviously it depends on the actress, and the family members, but attitude is a large part of it. Laurence Fishburne's daughter is in a porn film, and her family will have to deal with it.

Laurence Fishburne's Daughter: 'Being In An Adult Film Is Not A Big Deal To Me'


Source: Access Hollywood Fri Aug 06, 2010, 11:24 am EDT


Laurence Fishburne's daughter Montana is speaking out about her decision to appear in an upcoming adult film.

"Being in an adult film is not a big deal to me," Montana, 18, told People. "It's something I always wanted to do. I have always been comfortable in my body and with my sexuality… I am not in porn to get into acting. I am in porn because I wanted to be in porn."

The daughter of the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" star told the mag she shot the video without telling her family.

"I had already filmed it by the time they knew, so I didn't give them a chance to talk me out of it… so I could pursue what I want to do without being constrained by them," she explained.

Montana hopes her dad will one day be proud of her decision.

"I hear through relatives that he's upset but I haven't talked to him directly for him to tell me his feelings," she said. "I hope it's not hurting him. It wasn't done to hurt him… But I think it will take time and talking through the issues. Eventually, I hope he will be proud of me."

When contacted by the mag, a rep for the actor declined to comment.

I read the same thing somewhere on the Internet only the other day, can`t remember the source, with one significant difference, there Montana was quoted as saying that she did the porn movie to draw attention to herself with the hopes of being noticed by the mainstream movies industry.

Laurence Fishburne is a major star, and has been for many years. You would think, if he wanted to get his daughter into the movie business, it would be simple and easy for him to do. Not necessarily to make her a star, but at least to get her small parts in movies. Will Smith, an even bigger star, got his son Jaden, age 12, into movies where Will was a star or producer. And the son Jaden is already a star at age 12: The Karate Kid, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Pursuit of Happyness. The kid must have some talent, but the relation to Will Smith certainly didn't hurt.

kids that were dragged by their parents because they loved Yogi Bear when they were groing up and it's in 3D.

How many people under the age of 20 have any clue who Yogi Bear is? How many kids have actually sat and watched Yogi Bear on a regular basis in the last decade? Long live the Brown Coats.

I think this is the most telling statement of all. I do not think he wants his daughter to get into TV or movies. The reasons may very well be that after so many years on TV and in movies that he considers all the stuff that we don't see but hear about to be very destructive to people but more so the young ones and as a caring father he chose to shield his children from that life.

Most child actors have had miserable lives and that's a fact. It always looks glamorous at first but you realise that what you thought was a golden path to happiness is in fact made of fools gold and then your no longer a child but an adult and all the people that used to praise you now won't return your calls. Knowing all of this then Why would any sane parent want that for his/her children.

We don't have far to go to see how destructive a life in the public eye can be. Look at Miley Cirus and tell me that if her dad had made it next to impossible for her to have a career that she wouldn't be on the path that's she's currently on. Long live the Brown Coats.

I was referring to the poster, not the movie. lk2 noticed. :P

Sound reasoning, lk2. It wouldn't be the first time that a quote was put into someone's mouth by folks like "People" etc. Just repeating what I read at the time.

I agree and I'd say that's the deciding factor why Miley is going down the path she is and none of her parents even tried to stop it. Long live the Brown Coats.

Who says cartoons can't make money?

Toy Story 3 hits $920 million at the global box office, becoming the number one box office champ worldwide for cartoons.

Toy Story 3 made $400 million domestically.

So cartoons can make money, if enough people pay to see them.

That's not counting TV/Cable sales or DVD sales, or merchandising sales, which should also bring in huge amounts of cash.
