Just to go way off topic here: has anyone ever had any resistance when trying to introduce BHT? I know I've offered to let some friends borrow it, and so many turned it down I just stopped telling people about and resorted to pushing it on them in silence.

"What's it about?"

"Elvis and JFK fight an ancient mummy in an old people's home."

"Don't take the piss."

"No, honestly. And JFK is black."

"Oh, fuck off."

Is it:



Or is it:



The latter, in my opinion, would be far superior.

Looks that way. Trailer and decapitated-head game at the official website:

Trailer, and Danny Dyer, is funny as fuck. I don't know why, but I find Dyer's accent incredibly amusing.

Hehehe. Bueno.

The ninja's boner smashes the entire restaurant. Every single one of the pirate's boners explodes while making a whistling sound. The ninja looks back at his girlfriend. She smiles and they pork.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Ninjas don't adhere to Bushido. That's the Samurai.

Everyone needs to see this. Just in case they are in need of some power. And black pyjamas.

Can't quite believe I'm saying this, but it has possibilities.

Fresh start, CGI (no more live action, thank fuck). I still have the SNES side-scrolling beat-em-up somewhere...

It's the situation where I'm hoping that it's going to be good, but I just can't see how it could be. Smith plays the same person in all of his films. Himself.

He's cast because he's a big name. That's it. I can't even work out how they got from the intelligent, solitary character of Robert Neville...to Will Smith.

Excuse my bile spewing.

I Am Legend. Classic vampire novel by Richard Matheson, probably an easy place in the top 5 vampire novels ever.
Loose adaptations became the films known as The Omega Man and The Last Man On Earth.

Fair enough.

Now, cue a new film version. Starring Will Smith. Will. Fucking. Smith.

Now, feel free to educate me here, but I seem to remember Robert Neville, protagonist of the novel, as being a white man. So can I ask, what the holy FUCK, exactly, is the point of changing the race of the protagonist? What effect does it have, on the film? That it shows a black man, struggling against the oppression of white vampires?

I mean, Jesus Christ on a fucking crutch, at least get a black man that can act! How hard is it to call Denzel fucking Washington?

And to add insult to injury, it's being directed by Francis "Fuck me, I directed Constantine and some music videos" Lawrence.

If you bought a copy of the book and shat copiously all over it, you would be much kinder to the source material, lads.

Futurama for me, though Duckman is a close second.

The writer/director of Slither, James Gunn, actually wrote a novel! I hope I can get this soon, as going on the first chapter, it seems a worthy purchase. Have a gander here:

I'm an on-and-off fan of Stephen King. Some of the best stuff he ever wrote was early on in his career (Rage, The Long Walk, The running Man, collected under the Bacman Books) and although his writing improved technically, I don't think the heart of it did.

In fact, I think some of it got worse, and King seems to repeat himself sometimes (The Regulators, Desperation). Still, it's nowhere near as bad as Eddings, so I'll leave off.

Cell features zombies (can't fucking resist 'em), an enemy King has only brushed by in his prior works. One day, everyone's cell phone rings, and those in a position to, answer it. They become zombies. Those who don't, live on.
Now, the majority of people do, so we're confronted with a zombie epidemic and an apocalyptic America, like The Stand.

Hope I can buy this soon and find out if it's any cop. It's also being adapted into a film, directed by Eli Roth. I thought Cabin Fever was a good laugh, and Hostel was passable, so he better not fuck up a zombie flick.

Please forgive the 80s inclusions, I couldn't stop myself. And when I say Transformers and He-Man, etc, I mean the original series.

Somehow, I don't think Marshall would let this happen if he had any choice in the matter. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure once LGF bought the rightsto the film, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it, including making sequels.

They probably offered him a fat cheque to produce (he'll probably have nothing to do with the actual making of the film, like Carpenter and that shitty Fog remake).

As to hyping The Descent, it's just the typical way things are done, I think. "The best horror film since Alien" isn't really that big a claim (I can only think of a few really good horror films in the past twenty-five years or so). Some people will see it as saying The Descent is better than Alien, of course, but those people can be ignored since they can't understand a sentence of clear English.

It's getting a wide release in the US (but only 1,700 cinemas compared to a bigger wide release of 3-4,000) so LGF, to maximise profit, have to hype it as hard as they can.
