[stfuken]

http://tagruato.jp

slusho's parent company is a deep ocean drilling/medical research corporation so yeah the monsters are def going to be ocean themed.

it's also speculated that cloverfield has two aspects, the giant motherfucker blowing the shit out of everything and it's minion parasite crab things killing everything on foot

this isnt official

also for Heroes fans check out http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/

to see the entire cast drinking slusho! Elle was actually drinking slusho in the last episode of heroes! theres also a bunch of other neat stuff on that site.

[stfuken]

woah shit i just visited tagruato.jp and its been hacked/vandalized... it wasnt like this last night. interesting...

[Charlie Delta]

That pic is fancreated but awesome nonetheless...

Do we need a seperate Cloverfield thread?

On the one hand I'd say yes, on the other, I don't want to spoil it for myself by knowing too much about it already...

[Handlethevibe]

Now I'm all kinds of hyped over Cloverfield, it better not disappoint!

Campy, gimmicky "reality" filmmaking. Can't wait.

[Servo2000]

The A.R.G. is probably more interesting than the movie is going to be.

[Handlethevibe]

I want to see Enchanted

Amy Adams is supercute, and it has good reviews.

City of Men, related to City of God and all, is coming out on 1.18.2008...

My cousin saw it and said it's nowhere near as good as City of God. I might have to skip it.

[Tisswat]

Documentary festival is in town..

Shortlisted:

Encounters at the End of the World

Joy Division

Stranded

Up the Yangtze!

Young Yakuza

[jeepster]

pretty sure they're soldiers.

what's freaky is the girl expanding to the point where she looks like shes exploding.

have you checked out the slusho.jp viral marketing site?

weird shit on there

no i haven't checked it out yet... anyone wanna translate the japanese postcard on the 1-18-08 website?

No'omo....No homo....No Hommo?

[polishmike]

I got invited to see "There Will Be Blood" tomorrow and I really hope I can me it.

[notesee]

That movie sounds interesting from the plot summary I read .. where's the screening at?

[NESK]

the trailer for there will be blood sold me. daniel day lewis + mustache + PTA + wild west +oil = ticket sold. i wish i got invited to an advanced screening.

[jeepster]

paul dano (CT native) is also in There Will Be Blood

i'm very pumped for this movie after reading a really good interview in the Times magazine with daniel day lewis

[superdupersang]

total utter trash. save your money and time.

i watched sunshine on my father in law's 50" widescreen with surround sound and it was an abserloutely engrossing experience.

but i suppose i could have watched bambi and would have felt engrossed

(i watch tv at home on a 14")

but back to analog's point, marking down sunshine because of its premise in a thread dominated by transformers and ratatouille?

[polishmike]

but back to analog's point, marking down sunshine because of its premise in a thread dominated by transformers and ratatouille?

I would never mark down a movie based on its premise. I watch many movies even if they seem like they will disappoint. This was just my opinion on this movie based on the whole picture and previous work of the director that I usually admire.

[Analog]

I sensed my name being whispered on the winds ...

I agree with pMike on many and sundry things, but re: Sunshine, I have to say despite its numerous flaws I enjoyed it.

[keysonawire]

On my to-watch list (in order):

No Country for Old Men

Michael Clayton

Eastern Promises

American Gangster

Gone Baby Gone

Cloverfield

Ironman (I love RD Jr.)

[pantheist]

as others have said, this movie is definitely under way...

I have VERY little hope that this movie will be anywhere good as the original series. Watchmen is like the Citizen Kane of comic books... the technique, storytelling, execution is just so specific to comics that I can't imagine it having anywhere near the same impact.

that being said, I am still probably going to watch it. maybe my extremely low expectations will help enjoy the movie for what it is.

I think they should have cast Jude Law as Ozymandias.

some more from the set:

[polishmike]

I just saw "Starting Out In the Evening". Nothing great but if you're into writing and struggles of writing you might like it.

[isoform]

I watched Sunshine on my laptop with an ok "sound system"--not my laptop's speakers--when i was falling asleep at 2 AM...it was engrossing then. The plot has huge holes and dumb flaws, but it's an ok movie i'd see more than once (an have, it was screened at midnight at a local theater, heh).

Cloverfield looks to suck then (giant crab monster... and that slusho.jp site makes more sense after that spoiler), but i'll prolly still see it.

Anyway, i'm sort of looking forward to these to round the year out:

I Am Legend

and

eK3ZrZCocs0

There Will be Blood

which was mentioned before...polishmike--how'd you like it if you got to see it?

daniel day-lewis, paul dano, period piece, based on the novel by upton sinclair. i'm there.

I missed it this weekend but I'm gonna try to see it this week. People that saw it told me it was very good. Paul Thomas Anderson is the man, he knows his way around the camera.

[ghostdeini]

p.t.a is one of my favorite directors

I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of Mad max 3: thunderdome because it was playing on AMC last night and I haven't seen the whole thing, just bits and pieces

[Handlethevibe]

Martin Scorcese/Hitchcock short film/ad.

http://www.scorsesefilmfreixenet.com/video_eng.htm

It's pretty amusing, watch it!

[deltakid]

The last movies I saw (and I do see quiet a few movies) that I can highly recommend were:

Blood Diamonds, Children of Men, Zodiac, The Fracture and Rescue Dawn.

All of them were really nice and gladly not too Hollywood like (which translates for me to too easily to predict). We all know there will be some sort of happy end though don't we? It's just retarded if you know all the next steps and the end after 30 minutes watching.

[AstroWolf]

What i wanna know is how are they gonna fit all the pirate stuff in?

tru nuff, i need him eating the seagull and killing eveyone back at his house. sooo nice, too bad there are no pirate comics that are that good.

[the_state]

high on the list...

Control

The Savages

Juno

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Margot at the Wedding (it looks pretty flat, but i really like Noah Baumbach)

[polishmike]

The Savages

Juno

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Margot at the Wedding (it looks pretty flat, but i really like Noah Baumbach)

all good movies. i really enjoyed juno and the savages. margot at the wedding is better than most people would think. before the devil knows was good but the story had some holes and i think it could've been much better so it's last on my list.
