1) Kristen "Miserable Expression" Stewart will NEVER surpass Charlize in the looks department, so this film already strains credibility. Hopefully Theron doesn't get wasted in this since she's a goddess. 2) Snow White is NOT a fucking warrior. Not now, not ever. In any way. JESUS it doesn't surprise me this is the same studio as Alice In Wonderland, who did the exact same goddamn thing with THAT main character. You already have a main character, you don't have to "empower" them just because they're female. Instead, watch Snow White: A Tale of Terror. Much more like the Grimm story. The only thing this film has going for it is that is looks less retarded than that debacle Tarsem Singh just shat out. This looks like innocent and dumb summer fun, and I like how Wahlberg is giving comedy a serious go-- he no doubt has the chops for it if you give him a good role. McFarlane wrote his own dialogue for "Ted", so you know it will probably be piss-ass hilarious.
Did you see "The Other Guys?" Wahlberg was great in it. You think he's the straight guy to Will Ferrel's weird, but nope he's weird also. I have high hopes for Ted.
It's a desperate cash grab by a dying studio system. A retelling of a fairy tale with zero ideas except for fancy CGI. Just spot these travesties, cross them off your list, and move on. I'm actually interested in a movie that is very much out of character for me; It's mainly my love and faith in the team that made Wallace and Gromit, although the trailer looks decent.
As much as I loathe Family Guy and its derivative sequels I can't believe this looks amazing. I had written this movie off after hearing the premise and that McFarlane wrote it. Honestly, has any of his work since the Family Guy came back from cancellation not been repetitive and boring? But this does look very intriguing. Looks a lot more original than Sacha Baron Cohen's next movie.
Oh, yeah, that's what strains believability here. Not a mirror turning into a creepy reflective creature, or a woman vanishing into two dozen ravens. It's that Snow White couldn't possibly learn how to use a weapon.
Have whatever the fuck you want in the film, I'm still right. You can have Richard Simmons jumping out of the asscheeks of Eddie Vedder while shooting rainbow lasers out of his eyes while twanging a lute, and that STILL would be less ridiculous than saying that the baggy-eyed bi-polar from Twilight more beautiful than Charlize Theron. Period. And Snow White doesn't use a weapon, because she was a helpless and naive idiot, the original woman-in-jeopardy. She's SUPPOSED to be that way. Not wearing a suit of armour she couldn't possibly even lift on her own. Suits of armour usually weighed more than 100 lbs. They're iron. I can think of a few more rebuttles if you want to, be my general opinion is that they have yet again shit on a classic story so the target audience won't be "offended". There is no possible way that I'm alone on this thought.
He's been consistently good on the comedy central roasts. Honestly I think he's just sucking the Family Guy formula as dry as he can and stockpiling cash for later, when he'll be able to do whatever he damn well pleases. He's also using his clout at Fox to get a new primetime version of Cosmos made with NDT, which is awesome.
His big project right now is that he's completely rebooting The Flintsones as an animated show in 2013. He's been lobbying for it for more than a decade. Say all the hate you want about the guy, he is supremely talented and funny.
Dumb and Dumber 2 is apparently in the works with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels both coming back. http://www.inquisitr.com/214574/dum...nd-jeff-daniels-will-start-filming-this-year/
That would be cool, and be a HUGE draw with the cult following it's recieved over the years. I never thought it was as spectacular as some, but the scene where Daniels no-scopes Lauren Holly with the snowball has to be one of the top three funniest scenes in movie history. I saw the movie on Xmas day in 1994 and people were in the aisles after he drilled her between the eyes.
Talk about a desperate cash grab and completely unnecessary sequel. I find it very telling that Daniels wanted to do the project for a long time, but Carrey only caved in recently. You see, Daniels hasn't had a relevant Hollywood career in almost 10 years. By contrast, Carrey's career only went downhill in the last year or two. I obviously liked the original a lot. However, a big part of its appeal was watching two guys in their 30s having exaggerated but relatable comedic adventures. Watching two guys in their 50s having those same dumb adventures? It seems sad, pathetic, and pandering. I don't even think Dumb and Dumber 2 compared to Dumb and Dumber will be like the quality of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark. It will probably be more like Jaws 2 compared to Jaws.
Bonus: shot in Bali where one of the main actors had a run-in with the corrupt airport officials (he didn't have the required number of empty pages, and the official offered to make his problem go away in exchange for his Iphone). Salma Hayek as a drug queenpin (think Griselda Blanco only not disgusting) and Benicio del Toro as her #2? Hell yeah, why not?
I'm betting that Dino talks in this version. 10-1 odds that he is also Fred's best friend, instead of Barney.
10-1? Either you don't bet or you have massively underestimated. I would market that around 7/2. I would load up on 10-1 all day long.
New Prometheus viral: I can't wait for this movie. Ridley Scott is one of the few directors (along with James Cameron) that does sci-fi beautifully.
