New movies undeserving of their own thread - KILLED BY RYAN REYNOLDS

[IggytheBorg]

Bad move cornflake.

Rlly? i was gonna say ur doin it rite.

[IggytheBorg]

Now wait: ever since the demise of Creature-Corner, I'm woefully out of the loop on horror flicks; is this Thing a remake or a reboot or a sequel or what?

[Howard]

A prequel. Ish. Set before the events of the Carpenter flick (at the Norwegian camp). That said, from what I've seen so far, it seems to ape what happens in the Carpenter film.

Nah. Rip it apart here. Leave the domestic picture nice and tranquil.

If you look carefully in the red-band trailer, you'll see the mofo with the shifted face writhing for a bit... so yes, I'd see it just to see how that poor fucker got worked over.

[Matt]

it COULD be entertaining. If nothing else, I'm pleased to see that they're sticking with the practical effect LOOK for the thing itself and not turning it into a CGI mess.

Thoughts on J Edgar?

Doesn't look life-changing, but its the first Eastwood film I've given a shit about in years. DiCaprio + Hammer +Watts + sharp suits, snappy smack talk, Kennedy impressions and gunfire? Do it.

Apart from those things... meh.

Like Eastwood's other works over the past decade, it'll get a free pass. Just on the face value that he directed it.

If the new flick doesn't end with Lars in the helicopter chasing the Thing as a dog, or the first few minutes from the '82 flick, the film fails.

I hope for a young CG Kurt Russell ala creepy young Professor X from Wolverine

[Timothy225]

If they were smart, they'd tack on the whole 1982 movie. That way, if the prequel sucks, you get to see a GOOD film.

[BillyG]

The Drafthouse is doing that by screening them back to back at a midnight show.

[Timothy225]

THAT'S what I'm talking about, Billy. Awesome!

Either way, the audience wins. Hope some clever ass decides to do the same in my neck of the woods.

[Timothy225]

Trailer for The Grey. Liam Neeson goes mano a mano against a wolf! With broken bottles on his knuckles - Wolverine-style!

[Captain Russ]

I was hoping for a Ricci doc.

[Matt]

'The Edge 2', with 100% less Mamet.
