Miscellaneous news from the movies! - Page 4

@ Lumenskir: I read a lot of movie news articles online, and online articles tend to link to other online articles, and I'm not very good at paying attention to what sites I'm reading them on. So... entirely possible?

And @ blues, you're crazy if you think Hollywood doesn't love Twitter. Word of mouth is the holy grail to marketers; the more you can get other people to do the advertising for you, the more profit you turn. I've seen studios provide hashtags in advertisements in the hopes that people start using them. Nothing beats free promotion. Even if they have humble intentions to do right by the fans, listening to their input is still a marketing spin.

Holy crap, Brett Ratner wants to make a gritty 3-D update of Snow White. I can't confirm whether that story is actually real or just the result of a Bad Movie Idea MadLib.

Fox is making a Gulliver's Travels movie starring Jack Black

sigh...

They have the girl who played Donna Noble in there, but so far that's the only good thing about it.

Unless you're not a fan of Catherine Tate...

Then I guess that means there's nothing good about it.

I liked her, she was the only decent New Who companion. Also, keep in mind that New Who is my only experience with her.

BloodyMage · 06-04-2010, 04:39 PM

Meh, she had her moments but I didn't like her more than of the others really. I did like Martha, but she was dragged down by a whole season of unrequited love so yeah. She's alright in Doctor Who, and I'm not a fan of her sketch show work, so no, I'm not going to go see this movie to see her.

That said, I probably won't go see this movie because it looks more like some sort of oddball romantic comedy fantasy than an actual Gulliver's Travel adaptation. Chances are it only goes to the first island, and none of the later super intelligent horses that leave Gulliver a misanthrope, which is a shame because I'd go see that film.

Edit: They probably will include the part where he pees on a castle fire to put it out. I'm sure it'll be hilarious....<_<

That trailer seemed like an interesting movie right up until the Bermuda triangle / Gulliver's Travels adaptation part. I wanted to see that movie.

Also what is Jason Segel doing in this movie.

There's already a great Gulliver's Travels miniseries starring the guy who played Becker, why in the world would we need one starring Jack Black?

So Godard has a new film Film Socialisme.
Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLuWoz9OpqU It's the entire film speed up to fit into 2 minutes.
Also the subtitles on the film are deliberalety wrong and designed to be incoherent so to really watch it you need to know French and English.
Hahahaha good shit.

To be fair, there are two Jack Blacks, and depending on how "Zany" he has to be the movie could be good.

In fact, I would postulate that a Jack Black movie's goodness is directly inverse of how zany Jack Black was in the movie.
