Mr. Hakujin Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 When I first heard there was a film written and directed by Angelina Jolie, my natural instinct was to hate the film immediately. However, this trailer has made me rethink that initial stance--if only marginally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Ii just had a startling moment of clarity about what a hypocrite I am. You show me some retard action fest like The Expendables 2 and I scoff and wrinkle my nose. I'm not seeing that shit. Now, you show me the same type of thing BUT FILL IT WITH ASIANS, and I'm all "HEeeeey, cool! I wanna see that!" I wanna see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The Raid - Oh, hell yeah! The Divide - Yup. Will download. Moonrise Kingdom - Meh. It does make me want to re-watch Darjeeling Limited and Life Aquatic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Because it's much more likely a Hong Kong police inspector would be a fucking Kung-fu superstar than an elite super spy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) In reference to the Moonrise Kingdom trailer, is it just me, or does it seem that Wes Andeeson has almost become like Tim Buton in that he has become so heavy-handed with the unique look and feel and general film aesthetic that he pioneered, and that made him famous, that his films are now starting to look like parodies of themselves? I mean, yes, the characters in Rushmore and The Royal Tenembaums were over the top, but these ones seem like caricatures in a way those characters didn't. I guess The Fantastic Mr Fox was a step outside of his comfort zone, but this seems like two step back into it.

The NZA Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Do documentary trailors count? If so, this was incredibly moving, and i cant wait to see the full feature: man, this looks interesting, but i couldn't even finish the lengthy trailer. ive become more open-minded in recent years, but social conservatives quoted in the first half of that are shitty people, and it's still really embarrassing to me that this is discussed like it's in any way a 2 sided argument. anyway, didn't mean to hijack the politics forum here: docu's are both welcomed and encouraged, but yeah, i don't know if id make it through that one.

Reverend Jax Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ive become more open-minded in recent years, but social conservatives quoted in the first half of that are shitty people The question (or perhaps it's a paradox) I have for you is, as you become more open-minded, should you become more understanding of close-minded bigots, or less tolerant of them?

The NZA Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 i don't rightly know; i thought it'd be former, really, but it hasn't been. they're about the only group i don't have respect for, view-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
