piranesi Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Lebouef is gonna be stuck in that paper bag for a long time, because he sure as hell won't be able to act his way out of it.

Randy Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 KTLA are the call letters for a TV station in Los Angeles.
piranesi Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That was literally a joke on EXTRAS. Jackson was the guest and everything.
jaedmc Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I think the most interesting part of that clip was his criticism of the movie he's promoting: "I'm the only black guy in Robocop that isn't a criminal."

Pfft "I heard about it and didn't know why we were rebooting it. Then I read the script and I still didn't know why they were rebooting it...but I liked Padilla, Keaton and Oldman"

jaedmc Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Man. Lots of talk about spanking in that one. Extroadinary spanking, even. That was more awkward than the Fishburne confusion. Also I like the sound of The Fishburne Confusion. Like a Robert Ludlum title.
Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I didn't see the first one because it just looked like another tired siege movie but thought the concept was cool. Now they put this out. Looks twice as interesting as the first one and it has Michael K. Williams, so I'm gonna have to watch it.
Tabe Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Haven't seen the first one either but the concept is definitely a good one. Lends itself to tons of sequels, too. And this one has the dude from Friday Night Lights so I'll check it out at some point, I'm sure.
Tromatagon Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 First one went too small with the premise. This one looks like it opens things up a bit.
BrianS81177 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 That looks pretty interesting. I still need to see the first one.
Reed Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I think the first one had a really flawed premise. OK, so how does murdering old people and the homeless, who don't work anyway, cut unemployment down to 10%? The idea that no one is going to be violent anymore because they can do whatever they want for one night of the year is also ludicrous. If anything, it would increase the likelyhood of being violent. Of course, the idea might be that the government are being assholes and lying to everyone about the good things that come out of the Purge. So, there's that. 3
Antacular Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I thought The Purge had an awesome concept, but from the reviews it seemed like after the first 20 minutes or so setting up the premise, it turned into your run of the mill horror film. If the sequel actuallt explores the concept in more depth, I'd like to see it.
RIPPA Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 HOLY SHIT! I didn't realize that one of Paul Walker's last films was an English remake of District B13 (and a fairly faithful one it appears) Plus - KURRGAN~! 1

Plus if looting and the like are ok wouldn't the costs of that be in the billions after 12 hours?

Plus if looting and the like are ok wouldn't the costs of that be in the billions after 12 hours? Agreed with all of this. It was an OK enough premise if you didn't try to think past the surface of it, which isn;t easy because it became easy to pick apart while watching previews. There was also the flawed idea that this locked down security system was easily opened by his son pushing one button. No codes, no elaborate security checks, just *boop*, the door is open. I can't say I hated it, but after watching it I just felt underwhelmed, because I WANTED the premise to work. That being said, I like the idea of the sequel, while also just kind of putting the flawed logic of the Purge itself out of my head. Instead of just hiding in a house, having to survive stranded outside for 12 hours could be a fun ride.
Newb82 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 So apparently the IT remake is a go... *sigh*
Curt McGirt Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 ...except the dude that wrote True Detective is writing It. So there's that.
Newb82 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Just looked up what's coming out in the next month or so and holy monkey fuck does it look like a barren wasteland unless you're a devout Christian.
Bustronaut Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 The entire summer looks pretty janky until August (to me) which is really odd. Did something crash and burn that was supposed to open in June/July?
