Re: New Full Length Iron Man Trailer!

Mark — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 04:26:54 -0000

Looks pretty good, apart from the obvious CG characters at the end of the trailer. I don't want to watch a frigging video game fight!

Re: Even Bond 22 Writer Confused By Quantum Of Solace

Mark — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 04:30:33 -0000

It is an awkward title, explanation or not. But Casino Royale was terrific, so I have faith in this one being just as good.

Re: First Ever Look At Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D

Mark — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 06:29:15 -0000

Sounds interesting (the technology, not the movie), but still gimmicky.

Is everyone happy wearing "comfortable, lightweight glasses"? How the heck is this going to translate to home video versions?

Just bring on Avatar and let's see what this 3D Fusion camera tech can really do :)

Re: He-Man On Earth? Again? Really? Oh, How Creative…

Mark — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 06:37:19 -0000

There's certainly no shortage of Skeletor-likenesses out there in the celebrity/actor pool (if you don't mind your a female version).

I loved the toys and cartoon back in the 1980s, but I didn't even bother with Dolph Lundgren and Courteney Cox in 1987's Masters of the Universe.

We've had a rush of superhero flicks; remakes of old (and not-so-old) films; I guess now Hollywood has a hard-on for old action figure lines turned into potential popcorn movies.

The Simpsons Movie and Harry Potter not majors??? I'm not a rabid fan of either, but you have to be crazy to think these two at least won't make some serious cashola at the box office.

Re: Transformers 2 Proceeds Into Pre-Production

Mark — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 22:24:12 -0000

Yeah, well so what? Bay, your Transformers was a terrible movie. Leaking a crappy script to this sequel isn't going to be a major loss.

Re: Transformers 2 Proceeds Into Pre-Production

Mark — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 05:00:41 -0000

I'm a fan of Transformers (Gen 1 as they're now known) from back in 1984 when the comic was out, the cartoon was on the horizon, and the toys were number one on my must-have list :)

Michael Bay's Transformers bears little resemblance to those memories, and is why I really dislike it so much. The robot re-designs are bad bad bad (why not make them look like the Masterpiece Transformers?); Megatron looked ridiculous; the Trans-animations were overdone, while fans and critics foam at the mouth over the CGI; the origin was completely messed up with an awkward voiceover; "the Allspark" sounded dumb and should have been "The Matrix" (but I guess it's obvious why they changed that name, for the worse); Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) having to say "My bad", one of the most annoying catchphrases in movies recently; the cinematography was terrible, particularly in the fight scenes (and thanks to the bad robot designs, telling one robot from another was confusing); the "acting" from those involved was embarrassing...

I have nothing good to say about this Transformers movie, other than it increases the entertainment and rating value of the 1986 animated movie ten-fold. I'm sure it made enough profit to green-light several sequels, but this is nothing like the Transformers I remember or expected.

@TheDohDoh - To rain on your parade, your comment above also counts as "criticism", so don't be so quick to call other people's words "retarded".

Anyway, yes, some space action would be good to see.

Re: Cool Stuff: Wall-E Model

Mark — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 09:06:37 -0000

I guess if you put 22 years between movies (Short Circuit, 1986), the target audience for your movie isn't going to even know or recognise the similarity.

But I've said it before and I'll say it again: Wall-E is a Super Deformed "Johnny Five".

Re: Casting Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol

Mark — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 09:05:42 -0000

Zemeckis hasn't yet leaped over the "uncanny valley" with his mo-cap technology. Beowulf is still just a nice demo; something like an extended PS3 cut scene.

Jim Carrey desperately needs a hit movie. Is this it? I don't know.

Re: Promotional Photos: Batman and The Joker

Mark — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 09:24:46 -0000

The oh-so-white background doesn't do the costume design any justice, but they both look damn good; the Joker especially.

Calm down, bat-fanboys. It's always the same complaints. Save the rants till after the movie screens.

Re: Shia LaBeouf is a “No” Man

Mark — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 09:26:21 -0000

I heard a trailer for Transformers in the video store today, and what stood out was the "No, no, no, no, no" from Shia. Not that I expected much more sophistication from a script in a Michael Bay movie.

Re: Cool Stuff: Abandoned Refuge AT-AT Star Wars Model

Mark — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 09:09:36 -0000

Looks like a 1980 Kenner AT-AT toy that's been buried in the backyard for the past 27 years.

I guess if that's your thing, you'll enjoy Dimitri's model above :P

For me, it's kinda depressing.

Re: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Poster

Re: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Poster

Mark — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:58:19 -0000

Re: Cool Stuff: Life-size Cylon Replica

Mark — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 08:40:19 -0000

You're right, Juan. The CG in the show for the Cylon robots (the space FX, however, are great) isn't very convincing. I'd rather they just use human actors acting a little inhuman than have the robots on the show. The re-design didn't impress me, either.

Re: Heroes Episode Review: Season 2 Episode 10 (2.10) Truth and Consequences

Mark — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:19:43 -0000

Note to writers (when they get back from the strike...): Unless Monica Dawson's story fits in with the arc or is going somewhere interesting besides rescuing comic books, dump her character and give West Rosen more screen time.

Also, kill off Kristen Bell's "Elle" character; her little girl voice and squinty features annoy the heck outta me :P

Otherwise, an okay episode. Even an average Heroes is entertaining :)

Re: Tim Kring and the Saps and Dipsh*ts Controversy

Mark — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:05:32 -0000

The show stinks at the moment and most people know it. Instead, Kring is blaming fans watching the show from online sources for its lousy ratings rather than fixing the show's story and character problems - and high per-ep budget. We'll see if there's a season 4...

Re: Tim Kring and the Saps and Dipsh*ts Controversy

Mark — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:18:11 -0000

Couldn't have come at a worse time for the show, though; struggling as it is in its third convoluted season.

Re: Tim Kring and the Saps and Dipsh*ts Controversy

Mark — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:52:21 -0000

Viewers often invest a lot of time and thought to shows they watch and get involved in, so, yes, complaints are normal when the show goes sideways all of a sudden (in Heroes' case, the last season and the current one).

Too many storylines that go nowhere, a surfeit of characters (who die and then come back), flash forwards/backwards/sideways... The show needs to be brought back under control otherwise it is doomed to fail.

Re: When Advertising Becomes Intrusive… Well Even More Than Usual…

Mark — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 08:42:12 -0000

Easily one of the worst and most distracting ad placements in recent TV memory, along with banner ads along the bottom, squashed credits (complete with voiceovers). The new age of digital TV is off to a bad bad start.

They need to dump the bgcolor on the watermark, make it more transparent, and choose one of the two logos - not display both.

Re: MP Want’s Gordon Ramsay Censored…

Mark — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 08:32:01 -0000

It's easy: If you're offended by strong language, don't watch Gordon Ramsay.

If Nine censored the language, viewer numbers would drop like a rock and people would go to downloads for the show instead.

Yes, adults like to be treated like adults and served up appropriate TV programming.

Parents who complain about the effect of adult viewing on their children just want to blame someone else for their bad or lack of parenting.

Re: Nine HD Launches…

Re: Total Recall

Mark — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:53:31 -0000

I think these titles are very different to the Superman sequence, but I can see where you get the idea.

Re: Total Recall

Mark — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 23:51:34 -0000

I wouldn't say stolen. It was possibly a deliberate reference to Schwarzenegger's earlier films by composer Jerry Goldsmith.

And about the only similarity to the Superman titles is the trailing effect; which in Superman flies out from the screen in space, is a different color and typeface... Um, the style is maybe similar, but that's it.

Re: Dexter

Mark — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 08:31:22 -0000

Re: Dexter

Mark — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 22:21:19 -0000

Obviously, fittingly, the idea for this title sequence was inspired by the opening titles of Mary Harron's 2000 adaption of American Psycho.

Re: First Look At J.J. Abrams’ New USS Enterprise

@Kirk, James T - Firstly, using the old model doesn't have to look dated; look here: http://vektorvisual.com/projects/TrekXIEnt/gall...

Secondly, this Trek's screenplay is by the two writers of Transformers and Mission: Impossible III... I think we've already seen some of the quip-heavy footage in the trailer - not a good sign.

I'll wait for the reviews, though, before beaming aboard this one.

Re: Knight Rider Series Premiere Review

Mark — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 03:36:44 -0000

@TalynRider - I wouldn't be say "viewers are smarter", that's just a little arrogant; it's more like viewers expect a higher slightly standard of production now, in both writing and visual effects (though a lot of CGI around these days is just as cheesy as some of the effects work in the 1980s).

Re: Knight Rider Series Premiere Review

Mark — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:22:10 -0000

Re: Wall-E Review

Mark — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:34:33 -0000

Good review.

I just watched this (on a not-so-great quality bootleg DVD).

The human actors took me out of the movie, too. I don't get why they didn't just animate humans instead. Strange decision.

I also felt a lack of story and connection with the characters, and the ending was a bit unbelievable (all those fatties fixing up a ruined Earth?).

I enjoyed the Toy Story films much more, probably more than anything Pixar has done since.

Re: Alien Quadrilogy Analysis

None of the last two sequels' opening titles comes near the first two in terms of artistry, style, design and execution.

I do think, however, David Fincher is right in practically disowning Alien³; it is bad. Killing off two of the characters from the get-go who fought so hard to stay alive in Aliens? Unforgivable.

Sigourney Weaver was the best thing about Alien: Resurrection.

Re: Kung Fu Panda

Mark — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:55:11 -0000

@IAMFeAR - Yep, me too, re: Hellboy II's puppet sequence.

I guess a lot of the 3D negativity can be blamed on the over-saturation in this genre of animation; there's a glut of kid-targeted 3D adventures being churned out lately.

But I also agree that highly-stylised 2D animation looks fantastic, and could easily carry an entire feature.

Re: Kung Fu Panda

Rough translation:

"Is the sequence I like most about the movie, I think a work of art, now that most films are made in 3d animated sequence shows how the 2d also has much to be explored, with talented hands take over q rioja far, I find great as has been partially emulated some characteristic features of the anime for this opening, saving as many pictures to show the same action without losing a drop of expressiveness, the backgrounds an been enriched by the textures and character designer very good this is my opinion"

Donald McAlpine (Cinematographer). I recently discovered his talent while watching the documentaries on the Predator (1987) Definitive Edition DVD. Great work on that movie.
