Retro Red Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 This is a bit surreal: Fassbender's playing Frank Sidebottom. I hope it's not bobbins. An odd thing to say that Magneto and Frank Sidebottom are now played by the same person. He better get the voice right. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted February 4, 2013 Paid Members Posted February 4, 2013 The Incredible Burt Wonderstone trailer I have a horrible feeling all the funny bits are in the trailer but if they're not this could be fun, It feels like I haven't seen Jim Carrey in anything for absolutely ages (and I've seen that film where he's a gay conman) Quote
iamtheman Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) A good day to Die Hard to be rated 12A <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler Obviously, a 12A certificate isn't an indiciation of the film's quality, and nor does swearing and violence suddenly turn a film into something special. Sadly though, there was a real sense with the last Die Hard movie that it had been neutered somewhat to fit a family friendly rating. And while the UK release of A Good Day To Die Hard has been passed uncut (as in, the BBFC hasn't insisted on cuts) - with a running time of 97 minutes 33 seconds (it's the shortest film in the series by far) - you can't help but fear that the edges have been knocked off again, just to get more bums on seats. You want proof? Here's the BBFC's extended note: "The film contains four uses of strong language ('f**k') and a partial use of Edited February 11, 2013 by iamtheman Quote
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Wasn't the last Die Hard film a 12A too? I thought 4.0 was quite enjoyable. Edited February 11, 2013 by Blackson Jackson Quote
iamtheman Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Just added to the bbfc website it turns out they have cut it This work was originally seen for advice in an unfinished form. The company was advised that the film was likely to receive a '15' certificate but that their preferred '12A' classification could be achieved by making a number of cuts to both language and visuals. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, edits had been made to reduce the number of uses of strong language (both 'f**k' and 'motherf***er') and to reduce sequences of bloody violence, including blood sprays when characters are shot in the head, and punches to restrained individuals. The formal submission was consequently rated '12A'. We are getting a softer version than the one in the US which is terrible anyway you look at it Edited February 11, 2013 by iamtheman Quote
Professor Paul's Bin Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I know age group doesn't mean much as they have became less strict over the years and it won't make any difference to the plot. But I was hoping for the new Die Hard to be at least a 15. When growing up Die Hard 1+2 were films my parents didn't want me to see and when finally seeing them when I was about 12 it felt like a massive deal watching them. It was one of those forbidden films to watch in my house. I just find it mental that you can take kids to see the films. Are they assuming kids have seen the previous installments? Then you have the argument of the films reaching a wider audience with the lower age. Still I hope the plot it alright. I would have preferred to see the film be at least a 15 Quote
Paid Members John Matrix Posted February 11, 2013 Paid Members Posted February 11, 2013 This was my whole argument in the other thread about Bullet to the Head. It was a 15 certificate, and yet the only weekend showings in Peterborough this weekend were at 22:30 and Midnight, am I old fashioned for thinking that Quote
iamtheman Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Wasn't the last Die Hard film a 12A too? I thought 4.0 was quite enjoyable. Looking it up but the cinema release of die hard 4 in the uk was a 15 LINK and that was from a PG-13 US release. This is a 12A version of an R rated film Edited February 11, 2013 by iamtheman Quote
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted February 12, 2013 Paid Members Posted February 12, 2013 Empire just tweeted that all reviews for 'A Good Day to Die Hard' are under embargo until the day of release. Always's a good sign of studio confidence. Quote
Loki Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 If it's 12A I won't go and see it in the cinema. It's that simple, I'll wait for the 18 rated release. I got burnt with Taken 2, so no thanks. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 12, 2013 Moderators Posted February 12, 2013 It just doesn't make sense to pay more to see a worse version, right? Quote
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 12, 2013 Paid Members Posted February 12, 2013 I just think it's brilliant that the Die Hard franchise has evolved into one big ITV Edit. Quote

"Yippee kay-yay kemosabe." That broke my heart. You should see the Big Lebowski TV Edit. 'Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps, Larry'. Quote
Professor Paul's Bin Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Is The Big Lewboski worth watching? I bought it second hand in a local pre-owned game shop for a quid and never got round to watching it. Edited February 12, 2013 by Twinn Quote
