This looks vaguely watchable, but I don't know if they can stretch out the human torch and the silver surfer chasing each other for a feature-length picture. Maybe the rest of the movie will be documentary-style eyewitness interviews, all backwardsed-up, and at the end we find out a twist, that they knew each other and planned it from the beginning, just to fuck up his brothers' wedding, for some reason, possibly to do with a heist. Tell the whole thing from the perspective of Ben Grimm, amateur detective, trying to get to the bottom of this, confronting his own doubts and shit, maybe he starts drinking a lot.

Please to offer your thoughts on FREEDOM WRITERS.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

I quite enjoyed this trailer (I like how it's a scene rather than a montage), but still doubt this'll be much cop. The effects are very computer gamey.

GARY OLDMAN!!! cut to EVIL MASKED VILLAIN!!! -> i have to see this movie in the theater.

if galactus is anything other than fuchsia this movie will make me cry.

Am I the only one who is kind of incensed at the idea of a Silver Surfer/Sue/Reed love triangle?

biggest Marvel character to not have appeared in 00s movie yet:

Captain Britain or Iron-Mang?

― reverto levidensis (blueski), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

ha ha i mean Captain America obv.

― reverto levidensis (blueski), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

Iron Mang has a movie coming out in 2008. STARRIGN ROBERT DOWNEY JR AS TONY STARK.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

FIGHTIN' TERRORISTS.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

Are you kidding?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

NO.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

That just leaves Cap A and, er, maybe Dr. Strange.

― chap (chap), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

"today"?

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, if anyone was meant to play an arrogant billionaire alcoholic superhero, it was Robert Downey Jr.

Someone was telling me rumors of a Dr. Strange movie (yeah wtf)

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Both in crappy animated Avengers movie(s), Iron Mang has his own crappy animated movie coming out this month.

My guess would probably be Doctor Strange. (which thanks to xposts looks less like an original idea)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Now that you put it that way...

whatever happened to the Gondry-helmed Green Lantern proposal (no need to answer)?

― reverto levidensis (blueski), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Downey Jr. has been preparing for the Iron Man role for last 12 years.

see also Winona Ryder to appear as THE MAGPIE in 2009.

― reverto levidensis (blueski), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

Watchmen movie rumors abound, most recently with director of 300, Dawn of the Dead remake, etc. at helm. :(

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

v excited about Watchmen having only just read it.

― reverto levidensis (blueski), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

Tom Cruise wanted to play Tony Stark for a long time, so RDJ doesn't seem like such a bad choice.

Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) is a bit of an underachiever when it comes to his career (or lack thereof), but his adoring wife Sofia (Amanda Peet), a formidable lawyer, has always been happy to act as the breadwinner. With the birth of their first child, Sofia decides she wants to be a stay-at-home mom so Tom needs to step up and take care of his growing family.

Ha!! Reading that you might think this movie sucks! But it is really about Braff getting FUCKED UP by a DUDE IN A WHEELCHAIR for an HOUR AND A HALF. $$$$$$ RING A DING DING

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

so RDJ doesn't seem like such a bad choice

Okay, so I read that too quickly and was imagining the Aphex Twin as Iron Man.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

dude if Tom Cruise played MY TONY, I would probably turn into some kind of mass of quivering hatred jelly.
xxpost

in what universe is Zach Braff attractive enough to marry Amanda Peet?

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

Pretty much any one? She's scary.

I am kind of in love with Robert Downy Jr at the moment, so this is totally Good News to me.

I just read a thing about new F4 movie this morning*, I am greatly interested in return of Dr Doom in Full-On Dr Doom Mode - it seemed like the biggest problem with the first F4 movie was that it was so fucking BORING because they were being SCIENTISTS instead of AWESOME BADASSES.

*here is path of internetting which led to it - thing about Pan's Labyrinth mentioned Doug Jones (Pan) -> Doug Jones imdb/wiki read -> Doug Jones plays Silver Surfer -> oh hey new F4 has Silver Surfer!

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

Who in the real world would marry Zach Braff, seriously? The Shins' publicist?

― N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

i wanna see john waters as dr strange

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

incidentally that breach movie was directed by shattered glass dude. i'm psyched fo rit

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

Amanda Peet and Zach Braff are both hideous, they are perfect for each other.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

My point exactly.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Amanda Peet is kinda pretty in that heroin addict shitty actress way.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Oh watch a trailer for Number 23 starring Jim Carrey!

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

and directed by joel schumacher!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

She's kind of ok looking in a skanky sort of way, just like Braff is ok looking in a dude-that-works-in-a-bookstore-and-is-all-creepy-at-you-when-you-check-out kind of way, but they're both so vacant in an ugly-dumb way, if that makes sense? They just both look like unpleasant people.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

XXP: No, she's "beautiful" in a horsey, mannish way, which I think is portrayed as a priviliged-class ideal. (Middle-class girls aspire to be blonde and rosy and pretty, apparently.)

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

Whoa now I'm confused

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

You're not alone.

So Doug Jones as the Silver Surfer? All of a sudden I'm interested.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, I haven't looked at any pictures of Amanda Peet lately, I'm probably thinking of older movies. Does she look heroin chic these days?

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

No, it's the class system that is confusing me.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

AMANDA PEET SMELLS LIKE HOT BEEF

― VALLEY OF BLIZZARDZ (Mr.Que), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

so who represents the proletariat ideal of beauty???

I just really love the fact that I start a thread called "I refuse to work today" and wind up staring at a movie about my motherfucking job.

Like his father before him, Perelman Jr. is an attorney. But rather than live in his father’s shadow, Perelman Jr. chooses to work as a teacher in a law school. His life is good, if somewhat dull. Things change for the better when he pursues a beautiful former student, a pilates instructor named Sandra, and they have a son together.

Hanna (Sarah Polley) accepts a job on an oil rig caring for Josef (Tim Robbins), a burn victim. As Hanna tends to Josef’s wounds, it soon becomes clear he’s desperate to divulge secrets. Meanwhile, the AFLAC duck (voice of Gilbert Gottfried), a stowaway, runs a-fowl of the rig's uptight Captain McGillicuddy (Kelsey Grammar). This madcap chase across the wackiest oil platform in the west is fun for the whole family!
