OTB v3 - Revenge of the Banter Thread

I love the whole comic book genre but id be the same the films have been hit and miss! never liked any of the spider mans either! i loved the first Thor dont know why, I know there nothing special about it but i just did haha Ya i dont know about the new X-Men one either, in the comic Gambit is a pretty central character to the story line and he isnt in the trailer or does his name show in the cast on IMDB so they have already changed the story line a huge deal! also he was my favorite as a kid so Im taking my ball and going home hahaha

The latest Marvel run are fantastic films in my eye (amazing how many films they're getting out of it mind), enjoyed X-Men First Class and am looking forward to the sequel too

Marty McFly

I think the worst one of recent times has to be the Green Lantern I actually like Ryan Reynolds it was just a terrible film.

I was dying for the new X-Men then the trailer left me a bit cold but we shall see. How many films can they center on Wolverine plus I really liked the old school vibe in first class it was a breath of fresh air in the comic book films so I'm hoping to much of it isn't centered on the present.

gregers85

Yeh the green lantern was pretty bad haha

anyone seen the trailer for new robocop? what ye reckon?

Marty McFly

Yeh seen that earlier first trailer I saw and everything I read I though god no, but looks a bit better in the second trailer imo.

Most people are going mad about it but nothing will ever live up to our own nostalgia for films .I'll try watch it with an open mind I think it will go either way terrible or brilliant same director of the two Elite Squad films which I loved.

What you think of it?

gregers85

Im the same im two minds about it but will try keep an open mind for it same as yourself! hard not to judge a re-make to the original though! good supporting cast in it, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and samuel L jackson so yu never know!

It's a long long time since I saw any of the Robocop films and I was very young so my memory is very fuzzy but the original is lighter in tone, isn't it? Well as light as such a movie can be. Like I said it's a long long time since I've seen the originals but I don't feel like it's need to remade. I could be wrong though, the supporting cast does have me interested.

I am curious as if this one will keep the whole Jesus metaphor going or not.

Your memory is playing tricks on yea the original was extremely violent and pretty dark especially Murphy's murder. Unlike today when most films are 12's to draw in more money. It did have a lot of satire though on American culture.

The cast and director have me interested time will tell I guess. Don't know if it's a sign were getting old that there re making a lot of films we grew up loving or if Hollywood is just making poinltess and needless remakes I'll go with option B :pac:

I know it was violent but I dunno...I feel like the tone was different somehow. I'll have to rewatch.

From what I've read the amount people spend on making films now means a lot of studios are losing out or just about breaking even. Remakes and sequels are guaranteed to bring people in. Same with adaptions from comic books, books etc.

Looking forward to the new Godzilla. And the new 300 film
301 Dalmatians looks good

This is true with the amount of money being invested in films theyare a huge massive gamble that sometimes doesn't pay off like John Carter which I actually enjoyed but took a massive loss at the box office recognized names regardless of how bad they are are guaranteed to put bums on seats.

I love my blockbusters but I also love Asian cinema because they are far more willing to take risks and put out something different.

The new Godzilla film looks amazing in the trailer . The 300 sequel should be fun to, the first one was one of the most quotable films ever .

It'll prolong your healing, and because your immune system is lower, you could be more prone to picking up some sort of infection in it. I'd postpone it, but if it's not really an option, then look after yourself and the tattoo as much as possible.

And be sure to let your tattooist know beforehand, as they may not want you there under their needle if you're not well, as they could catch it off you!!!

I rang them and they said it'd be grand, I can still come in, so it's going ahead!

Currently stuffing my face before I leave

In two minds over that tbh, on the one hand having regulation is good (and might hopefully cut down on the Georges St Arcade studios of the world), on the other hand the HSE aren't exactly immune to not fcuking up any industry they touch

What I was thinking as well. Also apparently similar regulation has done very little in England with closed down studios opening up again after a few days.

The cynic in me sees this turning into a situation where studios end up having to pay for a license that effectively will only be good for looking nice in a frame on the wall
