How to Read Movie News Pages 1 2 3 4 NEXT | |
Movie studios keep using these words, but they do not mean what you think they mean. | |
"Starring Vin Diesel." "Jason Statham said no." That is my favorite. I'm still laughing. Also, please review Press Start 2 Continue. | |
Sorry Bob... but was that meant to be funny? I didn't find it so, I'm afraid. Perhaps it's because I don't often read film press releases (or know who Joss Whedon is), so just didn't get it. Also, it struck me as overly cynical. | |
That was pretty funny. Hurrah for cynical humour! I wonder what Vin Diesel would think of it... | |
Really like the "From the people who brought you..." line It's crazy how they link movie together with that little phrase. | |
That was probably my favorite one. I still go into Hot Topic on occasion just to see what they've decided to cash-in on recently, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that all Twilight-related merchandise was on mega-super clearance (i.e., more than 70% off).
Get out of my internet. | |
Get out of my internet.[/quote] OK, now I know I should have heard of this guy before. I wonder why I haven't. | |
Brilliant. That's all I can say. | |
You are probably young, didn't see Dr. Horrible, and/or watch TV in the late 90s/early 2000s. | |
oh man quite an informative reference! | |
There is one inaccuracy in this article: Jason Statham has NEVER said "No" to a movie role. (it's a shame, because he's actually a very good actor) | |
Oh Bob, You forgot one. "Visually Stunning" | |
"The years first big summer movie" "We don't have the balls to go head to head with actual big summer movies" | |
I fuckin' lol'd. This made my uneventful Friday afternoon. Thank you Bob! | |
So what exactly is hot topic? | |
A "trendy" store for goth teens and their precieved counter-culture. | |
The king of this is Ron Pearlman though. Jason Statham can't hold a candle to the silly stuff he has put out, and yet he is a really good classicaly trained actor. My theory is he is just having fun. | |
"Screenplay by Joss Whedon!" :D hahahah! Moviebob is quickly becoming one of the three things I check out regularly on this site along with ZP and Critical Miss. (And yes, this was the most perfect fan-response I could make, just because I want to show how much I appreciate what you write :p) | |
I'm waiting for all the Joss Whedon fans to get angry despite what Movie Bob was saying is true lol (although I really do like Joss Whedon's stuff, his t.v shows are underappreciated and underrated) | |
Ah... Have you ever seen anything by Joss Whedon? I'll grant the "beating up guys twice their size" thing, but that last bit is sheer nonsense. | |
This was hilarious, and very informative! | |
I guess I'm not very cynical, but almost every single one of those things were said about "The Last Airbender" and it ended up exactly like you said. | |
Are you implying that Weren't Buffy's target audience? | |
Oh god, Bobbo, that was hilarious. Good one. The Tim Burton One really stuck out to me though. | |
So how's that white guilt working out for you Bob? | |
While I'm not normally a huge fan, this was comedy gold. | |
Joss Whedon and a lot of his projects enjoy a 'cult status', especially amongst us internet folk. Reasons why we're shocked you haven't heard of him, because we're nerds and this is just stuff we know:
Angel Firefly/Serenity Dollhouse (admittedly not his best work) Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Oh yes, he's also the co-writer of the new Captain America film and he's the co-writer and director of the upcoming The Avengers film. Also he writes comic books. | |
"hey guys, people lie in press releases! FUNNEH!" Yeah. Yeah they do. That's why nobody fucking reads movie news and actually believes anything they say there. | |
I lol'ed HARD. At work. Thanks Bob :( Also, the last couple on the first page are unbolded. | |
How bout lets start learning how to read the real news. Or is that beyond everyone. | |
Ah. That explains it. The only one of those I've watched was Dr. Horrible, and that was in 8-bit form. | |
Cynical humour that hits the nail on its head. I Do not expect any less from Movie Bob. I would think its more funny if it was not for the fact everything Movie Bob said was true. | |
The Joss Whedon and Tim Burton ones were HILARIOUS | |
Yeah, but that one is mostly used about videogames these days. | |
To quote him from an interview (thank you TVTropes): | |
