Yeah - I really, really don't understand the point of using CGI to depict the Monster. At all. The framework of the story gives the filmmaker so much latitude - you could have an actor with minimal makeup perform very well in the role. I mean, damn - just look at Karloff's face in the pic you posted - CGI can't even come close (yet). Look at Clancy Brown in The Bride - basically no monster makeup and he was great (in an otherwise mediocre film).
Whoa pardner - gonna have to stop ya there. House of the Devil kicked ass. IMHO. Now git along.
There was a sequel to Cabin Fever?
Oh man - don't show them these pics or they will flip out.
This show has been well cast - dang! Truthfully I pictured Mellisandre to be "hotter", even "smokin" maybe - someone both very beautiful and kinda eerie - she just looks kinda clammy in that pic.
And since I don't see anyone else doing it, I say props to Jack Gleeson, the young guy playing Joffrey. His portrayal transformed the character from one that I merely loathed into one that I hated. He is simultaneously petulant and psychotic. That pic of him captures the character so well - a dangerous, iron-hearted ruler....
Dany looks like she just escaped form The Thunderdome.
Well played....
So shooting some clown that has a blaster pointed at your face and is threatening to use it makes one a cold-blooded killer? Bah!
Yeah, they kinda rebooted this season, clearing a lot of the schmaltz from season 3. I did not like the last half of season 3 at all, but season 4 has been pretty tight.
Aw shucks, I was hoping for something a little more like THIS!
Hey, English majors have to come up with something to write their dissertations about and there can only be so many people that actually wrote Shakespeare's plays.....
I like to imagine that after the credits rolled in the final Matrix film that Keanu, as "Ted" Theodore Logan, wakes up rubbing his stomach, looks at the half-eaten Indian food on the stand next to his bed and then, recalling his outrageous dream gives us a classic "Whoaaaaa".
Re: Cyclops. Yeah, people that came into thew franchise through the films failed to understand that Cyclops was the main X-Man character during the X-Men heyday. His ability was so simple that the writers were able to focus much moire on his character's development and his troubled relationship with Jean.
I'm surprised that there are so many posters that are suddenly hyped by this trailer. I mean, it looks ok, but ... The Lizard? I just can't get over it. I was a comic reader when I was a kid and The Liz was one of the lamest villains I ever encountered. They were always mutating him to try to make him more interesting and it never worked. The whole Jekyll n Hyde thing felt like some sort of ripoff of the Hulk. Oh, and he can mentally control reptiles. Yes, he's Squirrel-girl without any of the humor or charisma.
I'd recommend it - it starts slow though and throughout the first three seasons there are quite a few "monster of the week" episodes that are basically dispensable.
Season one sets up the action for season 2, which is great TV. Season 3 starts off well, but goes off the rails completely and reached a point where I thought that there was no recovery from the awfulness.
Then, in season 4, they pulled a trick that allowed us to get past the bad writing mistakes in season 3. It has been shockingly good so far.
It was featured on Retronaut recently - IO9 frequently harks posts from there.
If you are weighing against a horror film - I would highly recommend "The Innkeepers".
I don't have too much of opinion about Chronicle yet but to say "it's such an original take" and then mention two other films that it borrows from in the same and preceding sentences is kinda absurd. An original take on what? The other films?
Lulz. Yeah - certainly puts a new spin on that question. Still, I like birds so I suppose that letting a bunch of them chow on my useless corpse would not be such a bad thing.
"Queequeg Origins: The Long Pig Adventure."
Oh man, that is too funny.
Well, the Doc was well into his thirties when he first hooked up with Laurie, who was 16 or so. So there's always been that element to their story.
