    Agreed. However, Franco absolutely nailed it on Pineapple Express. Everything he did in that movie was hilarious.

    I was intrigued until they wheeled out that tired old pile of horseshit about how we only use 10% of our brains.

    True it is a very very tired cliche. But with Luc Besson you have the hopes of a slick movie which isn't entirely mind numbingly meh, like that Bradly Cooper movie a few years ago where he was on super adderall with the same shit.

    It's still an interesting premise, even if it's not scientifically sound... still, out of all the unrealistic crap in the movie, that is what does it for you?

    If I've ever seen a movie ripe for the suspension of disbelief and scientific grounding, this is it.

    As Kubla said... Luc Besson will probably pull it off really well... I'm a huge fan of his stuff, and have faith.

    Colour me optimistic on this one.

    And let's face it... the latest Transformers is cleaning up at the box office, so it's refreshing to see something a bit less Bayish hit the theatres.

    Didn't see this one posted...



    Needless to say, I cannot wait for August 1st to show up.



    EDIT: Apparently it was posted a few pages ago... doesn't matter... it's awesome enough to be posted again.

    Re: Unbroken

    New trailer is very good. The book is so good, and broken into the three different "parts" of his life, I didn't think they could possibly get it all on film; but, this trailer gives me hope that they may pull it off. Since Zamperini just died a couple weeks ago, this looks like it will be an excellent tribute to his amazing life story.

    I liked the first one (although it was perverted and voyeuristic) and I thought the second was one of the best horror movies ever made. Despite my aversion to most of the stupid "found footage" horror I am happy they made another one.

    Everyone in my goddamned office has been watching this all morning.

    Gentlemen, lock up (or tie up) your housewives.

    I haven't read these books, but the chick is not hot, and the dude looks 12. Who wants to pay $10 per ticket to watch them have fake sex?

    Fat creepy housewives, that's who.

    You too can write unreadable Twilight fan fiction and make $100 million. And that chick got the role because nepotism and nothing more.

    Why did Charlie Kaufman bail out of the lead role? My guess is he read the book.

    I think you mean Charlie Hunnam. Charlie Kaufman would have only been interesting if they had gotten Nick Cage to play him in the role ala Adaptation. I never got the appeal of the books but I never more than glanced at some passages of it in the tibbette thread. Are bored house wives that kinky or do they just fantasize about banging a billionaire?

    Yeah, I'm a dummy. It's Hunnam.

    Before this, housewives had shitty Harlequin romance novels with Fabio in an unbuttoned pirate shirt on the cover. They are a naughty escape from the drudgery of their mundane lives. That, and they have no CLUE what good reading is.

    I heard it was a career move - he felt that by playing such a well-known character, he'd end up typecast. And he's right.

    That said, if he wanted to flog me offscreen just for fun, I'd be okay with it.

    So many women like that series because they desperately want their husbands to be so intently focused on them. Not having sex with them because "hey I'm the husband and you're the wife let me put my cock in you" but "I. Want. YOU." type of sex.

    They don't get that.
