Keth Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I've been wanting to read that for forever. The movie looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinestetici Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Do you have an ereader? I can send you my copy. I have the sequel kicking around somewhere too I think, though I havn't had a chance to read it yet. But...you know what? Tonight I think I'll read it finally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I am excited about that movie for so many reasons. I've been wanting a Coscarelli comeback for some time and the fact that it just happens to be an adaptation to probably one of the best books I've ever read and it looks stupidly faithful just fills me with so much excitement.

Reverend Jax Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Â Baz Luhrman is a wizard with music choices. If you had told me before I watched this trailer that No Church in the Wild would be featured in The Great Gatsby trailer, I would have said it probably couldn't work, but it does. And that cover of the Turtles' Happy Together towards the end sounds incredible. Â Music aside, the movie looks like it'll be a return to form for Baz. I am glad, however, that if one DiCaprio movie was going to be pushed back from Christmas, it was this one and not Django. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 That looks like it could be fun.  should've asked someone with refined tastes  i could picture one flew over the cuckoo's nest to shame on a n*gga, possibly shimmy shimmy ya if done right No Church in the Wild could have very easily taken me out of the 1920's feel that The Great Gatsby should give you, and I'll I'm saying is that it didn't.

The NZA Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 with that beat (and the lyrics) going with the story's tone & all, id say it's not as easy as you think it'd be, but i'm not gonna argue with a man who thought that turtles cover at the end was good  anyway   will this one be funny?

Reverend Jax Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Â Â w h y As to the first trailer in the video, I like Hong Kong Phooey a lot, and think that live action version of him is ten times better than the live actions Smurfs, Chipmunks, Marmaduke, Yogi Bear, Garfield or Rocky & Bullwinkle. That said, ten times better than any of those is not enough to get you up to 'good.' Still, while I would bet against this being worth a watch, I think it has an outside chance of being good. Â As for the second trailer, I think Marvin is a great character to bounce off of Bugs or Daffy in a 6 minute short. Without them in a feature-length film, with shitty child actors, I'm not hopeful. Â But to directly answer Axel's question, because these live action cartoon character movies bank serious cash, especially overseas, which is a bigger market than the US, which was not the case 20 years ago.

Iambaytor Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) I was with the Hong Kong Phooey trailer until they spend 3 minutes making a joke about how dogs drink out of toilets. They're making the same mistake that Underdog did, DONT DRAW ATTENTION TO THE FACT HE'S A DOG. I know that may not make sense because he is a dog interacting with people but that's part of its bizarre charm.

Reverend Jax Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah, it would be the toilet scene in the movie would be forgivable, if it was among the only dog jokes, but I'm not to hopeful on that front. But to be clear, both of those (HKP and Marvin) were test footage, not trailers cut from footage meant for the final movie, so, hope spring eternal. I also hope he interacts with humans and no one acts like it's weird. I hope he's still a janitor at the police station. That was a perfect cover for knowing when crime was going down. Â I'm glad they went with a real cat for Spot instead of a CGI cat. That was the right call. I hope they maintain spot's role of constantly working behind the scene to correct for HKP's ineptitude. Also, considering that Scatman Crothers is long dead, they could have done much worse of the voice casting, but I can't help but feel that they might have been able to do better.

Iambaytor Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah, if Spot does all the work and HKP just flails around like a jackass and drives his goofy looking car. And none of the humans in the movie can notice he's a dog, if they do then it just ruins it. Eddie Murphy's voice is a pretty good non-union Mexican equivalent of Scatman Crothers, just be glad it's not Martin Laurence and move on.
