Why is spielberg ripping off half life 2? Seriously.. the aliens look like the bipedal alien allies of yours in half life 2, the robot thing looks like dog, the monolithic spacecraft hovering over the middle of the city is reminiscent of the citadel..

What sucks the most is that when the half life movie does come out people are gonna be like "omg wtf this stupid movie is totally ripping off spielberg!

[wufwugy]

It's directed by some guy named Neill Blomkamp and presented by Peter Jackson, not Spielberg.

Don't know much about Half Life. However, the movie looks fantastic

[boost]

oh, oops, I thought I read that it was spielberg, but I guess I just saw the preview and assumed.. jackson being involved makes sense though.

Also I just saw the preview again, and omfg.. theres what appears to be a gravity gun... srsly, vavle needs to sue somebody..

And ya, dont get me wrong, the movie does look awesome.

meh, got the director wrong, but my point still stands. Thanks for your input though bigraginghomo

p.s. 'love you, lets copulate sometime.

[silu73]

This movie looks so awesome I can't wait for it to come out. Peter Jackson is pretty much a fanboy god.

[bigred]

I think your point is pointless.

Butsecks now plz

Yay Denzel playing the same dude he always plays

What we need is a Diablo movie. Maybe directed by James Cameron, maybe by the guy who did Silence of the Lambs. No matter who writes/directs, it would need to be NC-17, but it would literally be the best movie ever made. Diablo could be so incredibly badass and mythical and deliciously evil

Will never happen though

[bigred]

Half Life should sue District 9 because it is well known that Half Life invented a world with a unique robot, a bipedal bug alien, and a citadel looking thingy. No one has done this before.

Fallout should sue Book of Ei because they're the first people to think the world might end in nuclear war. No one has even considered doing this before.

You guys make excellent points and I value your arguments a lot. The combination of sound reasoning with your emotional fervor is inspiring and drives me to cast out all the phonies out there. I think we should start a war with 2p2, neverbeg, p5, etc because we are "the original" poker forum out there and its a well known fact that if you don't create an original idea you are a douche and the result will be terrible.

TO WAR GENTLEMEN, TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!! (I made that up, is it my original line, otherwise it would suck)

bennylarue, that's an original name....NOT

[a500lbgorilla]

Hey, bigredders! Look a movie that kinda looks like fallout 3.

oh neat... is what i would say if I hadn't rammed a 3 foot pole up my ass! But like the blood seeping from my rectum, my passion for blockbuster movies is hot, syphilitic and red. Book of Eli is clearly a high-concept emotional rollercoaster that will bring us all closer to our true selves!

Ya, that's cool. I was just saying that this movie looks a lot like Fallout 3.

as an aside, its pretty clear that hollywood is looking for the next great well of movie scripts since everyone is hammering superheros, comic books and graphic novels pretty heavily. And since the video game industry pulls down billions, its a good bet they're going for that next.

fail. the halo movie fell through and district 9 was made instead. neil (the director of district 9) was supposed to direct it

You fail at calling out failure. This just happened this week. Making as in producing...

Yay Denzel playing the same dude he always plays

dude seriously... I mean hes in some good movies, but (and I hate to say this) hes more one dimensional than tom cruise.. After rewatching american gangster I actually found myself disliking him as an actor.

[jyms]

Will Smith has more dimensions than Denzel by far.

that's rumored, not confirmed, and it's only saying they're in negotiations. far from being in production.

[Parasurama]

Just saw it today, really mixed reactions from my group of friends, but I loved it, especially the first half (documentary style)

[boost]

I just saw it too. I thought it was pretty cool in the sense that it provided the big explosions and high intensity action of a summer block buster but did it in a pretty unconventional way.

As is usual though Im way more excited about the previews that I saw then the movie I just watched. Planet Zombie looks fucking amazing, and scorsseseeecci (fucking italians and thier silly spelling) is coming out with a horror/thriller/mystery sort of movie called shutter island that looks really good.

[Deanglow]

this movie was amazing; go see it. The trailer is so misleading imo

[philly and the phanatics]

yea right, will smith sucks imo, denzel is the shit, the roll he plays in inside man is completely different to american gangster, which is comepletely different to john q, which is different still to hurricane and training day. He is the shit go fuck yourselfs if you dont like denzel he is GOD.

will smith sucks balls, i robot= gay, men in black was awesome i will admit that, ali was alright, i am legend = gaaay, handcock? = gaay, pursuit of happiness= soso, fresh prince of bel air was head and shoulders above the rest of the crap he has done

[FloppyBob]

I'm looking forward to this movie, even though all the gamers might be standing in front of the theater with signs telling me the movie is a rip off.

[bigspenda73]

next saturday gonna go see this and inglorious basterds, should be a good day

pursuit of happyness is one of the most amazing movies i've ever seen, easily in my top ten, and nothing makes my top ten easily.

[boost]

philly, obviously having denzels cock in your mouth makes it difficult to be objective, so I wont even bother.

And I agree the trailers I saw were def misleading.

no i just like good movies, lol, man on fire??? awesome.

idk how you think denzel is flatter than will smith, you havent given anything at all to base that on, other than "you suck denzel cock"....great argument.

look at the oscar count- denzel best leading actor (training day), and best supporting actor (glory) so i guess the Academy agrees.


edit: I forgot about remember the titans, manchurian candidate, he got game, and Malcom X all better than irobot/ wild wild west/ i am legend/ handcock


all four of those last movies i said he plays a completely different role as well so he is def versatile

[a500lbgorilla]

You're not saying that the Denz > Will Smith, you're saying that the Denz's movies are better that Will Smith's.

[philly and the phanatics]

You're not saying that the Denz > Will Smith, you're saying that the Denz's movies are better that Will Smith's.

i am saying you put will smith in any of those roles and that movie would suck and be nowhere near as good as it is w/ denzel.

[a500lbgorilla]

you shouldnt be saying that though.

[boost]

arguing with a jesus freak is less cyclical..

I did not say hes a bad actor, or that I think any of those movies are bad. Im just saying that Ive grown to dislike him because he seems to be the same person over and over. Not the same roll, not the same motivation, but the same general manurisms.. the way he talks the way he walks the way he laughs. At the same time I dont want to put will smith on a pedestal, I honestly do enjoy watching him more than denzel washington, but that doesnt mean hes the end all be all when it comes to acting, or anything close to it. The point I was looking to make is that he is overrated and for all the attention he gets there are tons of actors that are far better, and way more believable in their varied rolls.

Saw District 9 tonight.

Awwweesssooooooooooooooooommmeee

badass robocop imo

[fjuanl]

QFT. One of the better movies ive seen in a looong time

[Illfavor]

I thought it was good, but the last 30 minutes or so was much less good than the first 90 minutes. Plot just kinda stopped and the guns came out...
