Yeah, Optimus Prime, or is it Fire Convoy, hahaha! (http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=6474&mode=flat)
I haven't seen this here, so I'd make sre it was.
-
Doesn't Lego call those "Bionicle"?
-
Note to self: When you get the chance, knock Michael Bay clean the fuck out.
-
I've been wanting to do that since he stole my $8 for a movie called "Pearl Harbor" that had barely anything to do with Pearl Harbor.
So, now he's coming out with "Tranformers" and I doubt it'll have anything do to with Transformers, moreso focusing on the crappy adventures of Shia LeBeauf and the new Camaro, that will spend more time talking crap than it fight as a poorly designed robot. I'll see the movie alright, but needless to say, I'll be buying a ticket for another movie and walking into it.
-
I sadly OWN Pearl Harbor. Lucky for me however, It was gift from a misguided soul. I didn't actually pay for it. Same person that got me a Green Lantern T-shirt when I don't think I've ever read a single issue of Green Lantern.
-
And I thought the XBox thread was bad.
-
Is that pic where OP has redneck flames painted on?
-
Is that pic where OP has redneck flames painted on?
Yes. But in better detail.
-
It's actually the least cringe inducing of all the desgins I've seen, which isn't saying much. Megatron on the other hand.
-
I'm more appauled by Bumblebee's face.
-
Yeah...he always looks afraid. Which I'm sure is the way most Transformer fans look right now.
-

Yes. But in better detail.
I need to see that in better detail like I need to see my poops in better detail.
-

They've said numerous times that the faces will be updated with CGI, so that's just his underface.

That's just Bay's "blah-blah-blah". You and I both know that the only CGI they're going to do is making his eyes glow. Have you seen the other faces? They're just as terrible. Starscream looks like Waspinator, for Christ's sake.
-
I am filled with bad anger inside. I must hurt someone.
Bay's taking "TF's = ALIENS" thing way too freakin' far.
-
Fuck Bay and fuck this movie. And fuck the suckass Wicker Man remake while we're at it. I'll be damned if I'm going back to the movies for shit like this.
-
Hollywood as a whole has had some trouble making anything of quality in the last decade. When I compare movies I loved from 1980-1989 (Hell I can name five from 89 alone; Batman, Field of Dreams, Lethal Weapon 2, The Abyss, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen) to ones I loved from 1996-2006, It's far less. I'd say 1/10 the amount of movies.
-
this sucks. I'm gonna go see this but I think I'll make it a double feature like zero.

You're the billionth person to mistake his cheeks for eyes
And about the Bumblebee pic: I like how the Autobot symbol plastered on his forehead looks more human than he does. :rolleyes:
-
Yeah shouldn’t they have changed that into some twisted monster too since it was originally based on Prowl's face?

Why do people like Field of Dreams???? I thought it was kinda boring
-
Well I'm a Baseball guy. Some people think that's boring too, but I enjoy it.

I'm getting tired of crappy remakes. I know remakes have been around forever, but they just seem especially bad. I have NO problem with people taking other ideas and doing something "based on" or "inspired by" or whatever. But why take something, call it "Cheaper by the Dozen", and make the changes that they did? Why do that to anything? Just make a different movie about 12 kids or whatever. Don't slap on the same title and call it a remake. Why the hell do you have to call your movie "Get Carter"? It's not the same thing. It's not as if brand name even counts in most of these cases. They could've made their own film on giant transforming robots. Hell, it'd probably be considered really good on its own with its own characters and mythology.
-
I'm really surprised no one has tried to remake the Wizard of Oz yet. (The Wiz doesn't count.) You know if they did it right it might be good, but that's a awful big "IF" and I'd rather them not chance it.
-
The Wizard of Oz would just be called "OZ" and everyone would be redesigned to be FUCKING XXXXXX-TREME. The Scarecrow, the evil witch, the wizard, munchkins, and the lion would look all scary. The flying monkeys would breathe fire. The good witch and Dorothy would be all hot. Dorothy would be from modern day California and an earthquake would swallow her into the magic land of Oz. The tin man would be talking giant tank. The setting would be very Tim Burtonish, with lots of r&b music, some rap for action scenes and a song piece or two, and the X-tina Aguilera take to "Over the Rainbow" to play when credits end. OTR would be performed in a hip-hop style. There would fight scenes with lots of wirework coordinated by that Asian duder from the Matrix movies. Lots of shooting from the tin man tank, who's ruthless because he has no heart. And the promotional campaign would be made of dark, ominous posters that read "GUESS WHAT'S OVER THE RAINBOW, SUMMER 2009" and have some scary pic of one of the major characters (collect all four).

Hmmmmmmm.....
:: Writes all of this down. ::
....because he has no heart you say.
-
Remakes suck!
Except Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory....and that's only cause of Johnny Depp of course
-
No, that still sucked.
-
Johnny Depp couldn't save that sinking ship of chocolate, CGI and rushed cinematography.
-
Hmmmmmmm.....
:: Writes all of this down. ::
....because he has no heart you say.
Exactly. He's all "Welcome to Ozzzzz, Muthafucka!" *BLAM BLAM BLAM!!*
And the Scarecrow is completely nuts because he doesn't have a brain. He even gets a revamped themesong:
Scarecrow iz crazy
Cuz he got no brain
Scarecrow! INSANE
Scarecrow! INSANE!!!!
Muthafucking Scarecrow
Don't leave me behind
Coz muthafucking Scarecrow
Lost his muthafuckin' mind
Fucking Scarecrow!
*jazz hands*
And I think Toto's a robot. An adorable robot. This is so he can better be packaged in a Happy Meal.
Even though the lion's creepy-looking, he's still a pussy. This is why he carries a gun.
The Wizard shoots lightning and wears Fubu.

You start working on the script...I'll get on the phone to 50 Cent's agent. He would be PERFECT for the Tin Man, and god knows he deserves another film.
-
fuck 50 cent, his time in the spotlight is over. I dont know if you watched the last VMAs, it was full with those distasteful punk bands, you know, the ones were they all dress in black, have weird (and long) band names and the music is painful to the ears> yep.
The only there worth it is Jared Leto, and only because he is, of course, Jared Leto. (Did I tell you I saw him a year ago in Benetton? love at first sight)
-
Actually I still am excited for the TF movie...
-
I don't see a problem with this Prime, or anything else I've seen besides Megatron. I'll still be seeing it.

You mean Panic at the Mars Boy Rejects?

Would it be a stretch to want Sam Jackson as the Wizard? It wouldn't be a large role, and he can be all "You don't NEED courage, Lion! You had fucking courage all along!"
-
I can see it now. ..
"Who disturbs the great and bad ass mother fucking Oz!"
We are going to make millions. $_$
-
"Tin Man! Roll out!"
-
"Tin Man! Roll out!"
And it'll probally be a better design than TF:TM.
-
It's been done (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0783233493/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/103-0274133-9555040?ie=UTF8)
And now you have have it for only $6.99! :D
-
But Rama said not to count the Wiz. Besides, it needs to be made for the NOW. Kids today are completely incapable of understanding anything made further than five years ago. False and biased market research has proven this as a fact. Sure it has a famous pedophile in it, but I'm sure we could find another. R. Kelly as the Scarecrow. They'll call him Scares for short and he'll pee on Dorothy AND Toto. Bitchin'. "OZ" can still happen, people!
-
And who needs hagardly Diana Ross when you can get Beyonce in a red wig?
-
We need to add some Asians and Hispanics in here. We've cast all African American and I want to show how PC I am, by having people of all races except whites (cause it's a fact they are the route of all evil) in this flick.
And now I'm going to break my own rule and try to get Grace Jones for the Wicked Witch of the West.
-
Forget Dorothy, Scare could defeat the witch by peeeing on her.
-
Grace Jones!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!! YEAH! That's one evil witch. Hell, I think I'd kinda like to see her as the good witch myself. We can make some Asian the evil witch, complete with kung-fu and a math degree. Have I casted the Lion yet? He can be a Puerto Riccan. They're always angrrrrry.
-
I'd suggest Margaret Cho for the evil witch, but I know you kinda like her. She could be more condescending then evil really.
-
But Rama said not to count the Wiz.
By gum, he did. I need to quit staying up for Pee-Wee. -_-
It needs an evil, psychotic-looking lion, kinda like Danny Elfman's Satan in Forbidden Zone.
-
It's not whether I like her or not, but it's not suppose to be an intentional comedy. I was thinking Brigitte Lin or an older Lucy Liu.
-
Lucy Liu crossed my mind...but I discounted her. I just didn't think she'd be good for the part.
-
We need her old, haggardly: Past her prime, with Charlie's Angels 12 the only job for miles in sight.
-
Hmmmm I could agree to that, a saggy nasty Liu is not as cliche as young hot Liu.
And speaking of Charlie's Angels, if we could work in Bill Murray that would be awesome.
-
He'll be there, feeding tube and all!
-
Damn....talking about remakes made me realize that we have an entire generation of kids who think that Godzilla is a Matthew Broderick movie.
-
Argh, I didn't even think about that.
-
He'll be there, feeding tube and all!
Me: It’s an honor working with you Mister Murray. I grew up watching your movies.
Bill Murray: Uh nama…*Gasp*…uma da ugh.
Me: Yes Mister Murray, I do think you are still a box office draw.
Bill Murray: Eeep…uga namma namma doodie
Me: No Mister Murray, I will not empty your colostomy bag. That’s my assistant’s job.
Damn....talking about remakes made me realize that we have an entire generation of kids who think that Godzilla is a Matthew Broderick movie.
You know in Japan this isn't even considered Godzilla. It seems Toho set out a bunch of guidelines for the making of this film to "Capture the spirit of Godzilla" when they signed the contracts, but almost all of those where ignored when the movie actually got made. So in Japan they renamed the creature in this film to Jira, and produced another movie ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399102/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399102/) ) where the real Godzilla beats the shit out of him.
Kenpachiro Satsuma one of the many men to wear the Godzilla suit over the years actually walked out of the advance screening of the film.

Ha! I love the Japanese.
So that guy walked out of the screening of Godzilla or out of the screening of Jira getting his ass handed to him?
-
As a treat to die-hard Godzilla fans, the namesake title monster from the much-maligned Hollywood box-office fiasco, Godzilla (1998) (directed by Roland Emmerich), makes an appearance in this film as Zilla (or Jira, short for Gojira), an assassin monster engineered by the aliens from Planet X to kill Godzilla. When director Ryuhei Kitamura announced this at a press conference in late August, he said that he named the Hollywood version Zilla for his film, because he felt that the 1998 film "has taken the 'God' out of Godzilla." The fight between Godzilla and Zilla takes place in Sydney, Australia, and is computer-generated, just like in the Hollywood movie.
Crush the shell-house! Crush ittttttttttt!!
-
I actually liked the Matthew Broderick Godzilla, althought the blonde girl is annoying.
New York is getting bad karma(or already got it) from aaall of these movies setting their catastrophes in poor New York.
-
The wiki article for Godzilla: Final Wars really blows the proverbial cock of Japanese Godzilla films and the Final Wars film... but I saw a screenshot of "Zilla" (on wiki, I think) and it looks like typical shitty Japanese CGI.
-

The Broderick one.

I'd like to see a clip of that fight....

When will it be over, Prime?

I'd like to see a clip of that fight....

I think that was on purpose. They wanted to show that rubber suits were better than CGI but they cheated by making the CGI as lame as possible.
