General Movie (Film for snobs) News Thread

[Loki]

That sounds good. Beats another Tim Burton movie where Johnny Depp dresses up like a fop and speaks in a funny, ohhhh wait.

I asked about Red Tails release date in this or a similar thread ages ago. It now has a June 6th release date in the UK. Source: Trailer for it on the ad break in XMen 3 on Ch4+1

 

Not that anyone is now the slightest bit interested mind. It's apparently a bit shit.

[niff]

Everytime I see that movie advertised I still can't believe it was actually made. I feel like at some point it's gonig to be revealed as an elaborate April Fools prank.

 

When I saw it I thought it was a spoof trailer like Tropic Thunder did! I'm still scratching my head over Cowboys and Aliens to this day.

Andre 3000 as Jimi Hendrix

Are they taking the piss in that article? Besides being black and having the 'fro, they don't look alike at all!

Not even remotely the same skin tone I might add. Also Andre 3000 is NINE years older than Jimi was when he died.

[Chest Rockwell]

They have to be taking the piss -

...Dressed in a colourful open neck shirt, almost identical to the style Jimi used to wear, he kicked off the first day of filming under the sun.

Andre 3000, real name Andre Benjamin, even sported the same hairdo as The Wind Cries Mary star..

 

Wait, what? He was dressed like him?? When on set to make a film about his life in which he plays him?!? Whatever next...

British films are shit aren't they? There's only about ten films on that list I could even tolerate watching.

 

Inbetweeners movie was dreadful, the fact that it's on this list is funnier than the movie.

Don't know how many chaps here will be interested but the first

trailer came out today. I'm a bit of a Les Mis whore and from what you can see from the trailer, I'm quite excited for what Tom Hooper's done with it. Certainly looks very cinematic. Don't know how it'll catch on with people who aren't fussed about the show at all, but it could be an interesting one for next January.

Is it spoiler-tastic or just a rotten review mate?

You definitely don't know me well enough to say that, you could say I have bad taste in films at a pinch but then that's totally subjective anyway.

 

To me that looks like a list of played out old "classics" and films I remember coming out that I have seen and didn't enjoy or don't appeal to me. And about 10-12 ones I like.
