Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

That's Amanda Seyfried.

Yeah, she's hot but not hot enough to make me go see Little Red Riding Hood.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
I'm actually very much looking forward to TRON: Legacy but I'm terrified that it won't be as good as I imagined.
It will be the first film I see in IMAX 3D. My son has been looking forward to it with all the impatience an almost-5-year-old can muster since I first introduced him to the original about 9mos ago.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
I enjoyed Tron at the time, but wonder whether I'd still think it was as good today. IIRC, was definitely relying a lot of the computer generated environments which were extraordinary for the time, rather than, say, a particularly great plot.
Some of the misused technical jargon was just hilarious, though. Bring in the logic probe!
I'm interested to see the sequel, especially since it has Jeff Bridges in it. (I would not be interested in it if it did not). But I fear that it won't live up to the original, as I suspect the original doesn't live up to the original
.

You're getting brutal, Sark. Brutal and needlessly sadistic.
Thank you, Master Control.
Hello, Mr. Dillinger. Thank you for coming back early.
No problem, Master C. If you've seen one Consumer Electronics Show, you've seen them all.
Dr. Walter Gibbs:You've got to expect some static. After all, computers are just machines, they can't think.
Alan Bradley: Some programs will be thinking soon.
Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand? All the computers and the programs will start thinking and the people will stop.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
The scriptwriting in TRON is definitely excellent, particularly the banter and the philosophical conversations. Given that it was made in 1982, the action is pretty damn solid too IMHO.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
Well I haven't seen the trailer yet, but my brother-in-law was telling me about a movie trailer that he saw this past Saturday. Just the title screams Grade-G movie..... "Cowboys v/s Aliens"
I'll try to hold from forming an opinion until I see it myself but I can't shake the image of all those old cheap sci-fi movies from the 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
One of the things I love about TRON is the way that characters just mumble such great lines with so little fanfare. Most other films act like a single witty line is some kind of messianic achievement and have to put it up in blinking lights like some kind of gaudy Vegas casino sign.Freakzilla wrote:This isn't happening, it only THINKS it's happening.

Re: Upcoming movies you aren't looking forward to
I'm psyched for it. Cast alone guarantees it should be interesting. Trailers look good, too.
July, right?
