Title: Trailer Park
Post by: Solomon Zorn on September 24, 2016, 02:47:46 AM
What are the latest trailers you've seen, for upcoming movies or TV shows, that left you wanting to see more?

Here are some I have just caught:

If I remember right, he had a pivital role in defeating Thanos, in the Infinity Gauntlet series.

Benedict Cumberbatch seems like a great fit for the role.

This might be the worst trailer I ever watched, thereby changing the thrust of this thread to "Trailer Trash".  Whoever put it together must have thought he could make an acceptable trailer by not showing any scene for more than .5 seconds, most of which comes out of the movie, but is entirely irrelevant to the movie itself.  It's a budget trailer made on the cheap... for maybe like three dollars and fifty cents. 

Jane Seymour from the olden days, plays the obligatory overbearing dance instructor at some expensive academy in New York and pushes her students to greatness.  Other than that, I don't recognize any of the other actors, but they are good dancers, better than most dancers in modern dance movies.  You know the plot.  All dance movies use exactly the same plot.  There is only one dance movie plot, and rival gangs settle scores by out-dancing each other, and everything ends in a dance contest with a lot of money at stake.  How unique.  Having said that, I found this movie at Redbox and watched it last night.  I loved it.  I love dance movies.  I love the dancing.  It's so embarrassing!  I love them.

Did anyone notice, in the cgi shot at the end of the Doctor Strange trailer, where the realities are all mixed up, the way the cars are driving around the shape of the twisted city? I thought it was a nice touch.

The Infinity Gauntlet Crossover was during my latest period of comic book reading, which ended in 1993.

Very true. Tony Stark's admonition, to Black Widow and Hulk, not to be playing "Hide the Cucumber", comes to mind - Hulk being big and green, it was a funny picture. Ant Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, were both hilarious. I can't wait to see what kind of smart-ass quips they come up with for the new Spider-Man: Homecoming movie from Marvel Studios.

I'm looking forward to Dr. Strange and Legion. I've liked Legion ever since he was introduced in The New Mutants back in the 80's. I don't know how the television show will treat the character but in the comic books he is a very powerful mutant, and Charles Xavier's son, who has dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities) and each personality has a different ability. In the original story Legion had a John Wayne type personality who was telekinetic, a rebellious teenage girl personality who was pyrokinetic plus the consciousness of a terrorist who Legion, as a child, killed in self defense and who controlled his telepathy.

I remember his first appearance in the comics as well. The TV series has a lot of potential. Especially being on FX, which has produced some noteworthy programming in the past. Could be edgy.

I saw that trailer, but my immediate reaction was that it was ripping off Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. You say there's a book series, but that doesn't necessarily nullify my complaint.

I totally agree. This is definitely Tim Burton's interpretation of the books. The author, Ransom Riggs, was inspired by vintage photographs and incorporates them throughout the books, so in my imagination the stories have a completely different look and feel.

I don't know the name of this actress, but in Sin City II, she was completely naked in just about every scene she was in.  I can't remember the reason she was naked.  I don't think the movie explained why, and any reason would probably be irrelevant anyway.  So now what's this?  A children's movie?  She's definitely not allowing herself to be type casted.  Good for her.

I wouldn't say I was "defining" it that way, as that's not how I "define" it, I was just pointing out that I make an exception for those elements, within a true epic masterpiece like the Lord of the Rings. But generally, the supernatural bores or even annoys me. That was my only complaint about the new Battlestar Galactica series, it seemed to point to a divine power leading them along. Otherwise I thought it was a superbly acted sci-fi script, with outstanding visuals, and very relevant questions, like their tendency of dehumanizing their enemy. So your contention that BSG was a tele-novella, is the most hurtful thing you have ever said to me.

But BSG was weaved like telenovella. All that unnecessary strained drama annoyed you too apparently, you just define it as something else. They wanted to put certain vicious elements in the story to make it a real life hard struggle but they couldn't make it. The idea wasn't wrong, how it was applied that failed.

I feel it was more complex than that. The underlying question was stated by Commander Adama, in the pilot: "do we deserve to survive?" Refined more into, "what kind of people are we?" as the series progressed. The way they initially dehumanized the Cylons, then as time went on, some of them realized that such a perspective was flawed, and defended their rights.

To me, the main character, is Baltar. A machiavellian atheist, who eventually learns to use religion to survive. Not a hero by any means. Just a very self-centered human, whose cut-throat pragmatism keeps him alive in a desperate situation.

The entire tone is set by the number on President Rosylin's wall: less than 50,00 people left in the human race. And the number is always going down.

I feel it succeeded perfectly, at least for an american audience. Edward James Almos took the role seriously, and set the bar high for the rest of the cast.

I have watched the entire series three times now: once when it originally aired; once when I got the blu-ray set as a Christmas gift; and once with a friend(who was not a sci-fi lover), who couldn't get enough of it.

Don't agree. They couldn't give any of the feelings you describe up there. Making characters say or do things is not equal to that.

We have a concept. And it fits this very well. Probably won't make any sense to you. It was too 'arabesk'. They played into low level crying drama, wallowing in personal relationships too long, trying to create twists from that point of view between just several people too much and failed to give a human race struggle of 50 000.

I see your point-of-view clearly now.  But I would contend that a struggle for the lives of 50,000 can best be told by the limited struggles of the individual subjective struggle, of human bullshit. I guess I find it easier than you to forgive a little too much emphasis on love, because I think that would play a big part of those struggles. It's a very long and intricate story, and love and hate are both in there, along with loyalty and duplicity, vengeance and forgiveness, privilege and poverty, civilian and military, machine and flesh. You just have to look for the good in it to see a whole range of great scripts. It tries to appeal on many levels, and the emotional is one of them. I find the plot to be fascinating enough to draw me into the personal dynamics. But they had a lot of hours to fill with human drama in space, and for my viewing experience, they did it tastefully.

But I could see where, to you, it might come off as, what I like to call, "over the top." Or sometimes I call it, "sappy," or maybe more accurately, "mellowdrama." I have that reaction to a lot of popular drama, so I feel where your coming from, even if I don't share your distaste for BSG.

Generating that sort of controversy seems to be a new method for normally bad or average movies to get people in the theaters to see them. Generate a lot of sexist angst, then the SJW counter culture declares anyone who doesn't like or want to see the movie is a sexist. People flock to the theaters lest they confirm their inherent sexism.

Film company makes millions.

Fortunately, unlike Ghostbusters, this trailer is actually good.

Well, Wonder Woman has always been tied to feminism (even though she's been sexualized to appeal to men), so that's to be expected. But it didn't seem to be as obnoxiously overt as I was afraid it would be. I thought that "slavery" joke was funny (even though slaves don't get paid).

Wonder woman is designed for men not for women. From the get go. She got tied to feminism later. And which is foolish by the way because she is a masculine character too. (I don't mean her physical apperance necessarily.)

I've always found Wonder Woman annoying because of her contradictory nature. Her costume kept shrinking and shrinking, but the stories around them were of weak feminist undertones like they were written by someone who doesn't understand anything about feminism and were trying to fake it. She has a freaking lasso that she uses to tie men up and make them tell the truth. S&M much? The DC movie universe seems to be going a different direction, though. No lasso that I've seen, but a sword and a bow and arrow to replace it. Maybe if they play their cards right, I can actually like this portrayal of Wonder Woman.

I happened to google "Wonder Woman," to see how old the character is. Turns out she is 75 years old this month(in the comics, she's 5000 years old). And it looks like she was intended to be a feminist icon, from the beginning.


QuoteWonder Woman was created by the American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston, with his wife and co-creator Elizabeth Holloway Marston, and artist H. G. Peter. Their cohabitant, Olive Byrne, is credited as being Marston's muse for the iconic characters' physical appearance. Marston drew a great deal of inspiration from early feminists, and especially from birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger. The character first appeared in All Star Comics #8 in December 1941 and first cover-dated on Sensation Comics #1, January 1942. The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.

Wonder Woman's origin story relates that she was sculpted from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta and given life by Athena, along with superhuman powers as gifts by the Greek Gods. However, in recent years artists updated her profile: she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus, and jointly raised by her mother Hippolyta and her aunts Antiope and Menalippe; artists George Perez gave her a muscular look and emphasized her Amazonian heritage; artist Jim Lee redesigned Diana's costume to include pants; she inherits Ares's divine abilities, becoming the personified "God of War"; and most recently, writer Greg Rucka, clarified her sexuality, giving her a backstory that includes positive relationships with women.

Her Amazonian-training helped to develop a wide range of extraordinary skills in strategy, hunting and fighting. She possesses an arsenal of advanced technology, including the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in older stories, a range of devices based on Amazon technology. Although Diana is 5,000 years old, her first exposure to non-Amazon society as Wonder Woman will have only come within the last few 100 years. While the Amazons were originally created to protect "man's world," they ultimately abandoned it.

Wonder Woman was created during World War II; the character was initially depicted fighting Axis military forces as well as an assortment of colorful supervillains, although over time her stories came to place greater emphasis on characters, deities, and monsters from Greek mythology. Many stories depicted Wonder Woman rescuing herself from bondage, which defeated the "damsels in distress" trope that were common in comics during the 1940s.

I'm not quite sure when movie trailers became the leading attraction. They're just ads for movies I usually never watch anyway kind of like toilet paper ads.. It's the softest thing that will ever touch your asshole and the shit REALLY sticks! Coming to a theater near you!

First, you can get lucky and not spend any money or time on a movie by watching the trailer.

Second, you can get the best parts of a movie without paying for it. Let's you talk about it semi-intelligently without sitting through it.

Third, upon a rare, rare, rare occasion you see something and turn to whomever next to you and say "Oh, HELL YES!!"

Some more that got my attention, for 2017:

The first one features a Johnny Cash song. Looks like it might be the last of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

From what I understand, Ridley Scott is ignoring all the sequels to Alien, and writing his own.

This is probably the one, that I'm most looking forward to seeing(other than Dr. Strange).

But some people won't see the posts for day, weeks, or longer. You'd have to go back and check each post regularly to find out how many people "like" it. The best way to find out if you're doing something useful is the views. If they drop off then you should rethink things. Just my POV, of course.

Isn't that a two-parter?

Also, I'm going to have to (tentatively) side with The Amazing Atheist on this one.  It looks like a fairly generic jumpscarefest rather than the get-under-your-skin nature of the original.  It all rides on the quality of acting of whoever plays IT, and all we've seen from him so far is a dopey grin and a fastrun headshake jumpscare.

I rate the Tim Curry version very highly, and I'm mildly annoyed that they even tried to remake that classic.  It'll take a masterpiece to win me over.

I think Luke is saying the Jedi have had their run and a new order (not NEW ORDER) should replace them. Given their total lack of vision with regard to Palpatine I think the old order is over the hill.
Title: Re: Trailer Park
Post by: Hydra009 on April 19, 2017, 06:28:47 PM
Yeah, I think "the last jedi" refers to Luke being the last of the jedi order and Rey is going to be a part of something new.  Imo, neither one of them are going to buy the farm in this movie.

Everyone has their own pet theory about the title - including thinking that they're both the last jedi since the plural of jedi is jedi - but my theory is that the age of the jedi will draw to a close but some sort of organization of good-aligned force users will continue.  I know that on the surface, that sounds like the same thing, but the jedi are a monastic order with political ties to the Republic and some pretty rigid (and stupid) rules, so this may be a very important change.

Looks decent.  Kinda quippy, but at least there are no cut-aways.

One thing I found interesting is that the Federation ship doesn't have that classic spoon shape (duh, it's a parody).  Instead, it looks an awful lot like a Sophon ship.  Maybe the Sophons joined the Federation.  That sort of relationship would probably improve Federation engines and probes considerably.
