How dare you insult derpy like that, at least she is funny and cute.

Mars Needs Moms, The Sorceror's Apprentice, and Prince of Persiaman I can't believe they lost money on these. National Treasure 3, The Search For Revenue set for release Summer 2013.

I tried to watch Sorceror's. First 15 minutes were too painful to bear. Seemed like some committee's idea of what kids want to watch.

Maybe it was just the version I saw but the very end had JOHN CARTER OF MARS before the credits. (Just 'JOHN CARTER' at the start)

Just got back. This movie was perfectly fine! I will say, however, that the stuff that doesn't work about it largely falls at Stanton's feet: his misbegotten promotion ideas, his inability to find a rhythm (talk talk talk ACTION talk talk ACTION talk), his lack of experience dealing with in-the-flesh actors and occasional tough time simply putting a movie of this scope together (weird framing and mismatched scenes abounded). Bummer we won't get a sequel, because obviously the foundation is there. How did fucking Clash of the Titans get a sequel? Was that a blockbuster? How did Battleship get made at all?
This movie did leave me wanting a six-legged butt-dog of my own, though. And a Lynn Collins.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 19:07 (fourteen years ago)
I have a butt-dog but alas, she only got 4 legs.
― Axolotl with an Atlatl (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 19:36 (fourteen years ago)
his inability to find a rhythm (talk talk talk ACTION talk talk ACTION talk),
i think this is a big problem yeah. i still think any scene where characters are gravely spewing 30 different goofy alien names at you is just dead-on-arrival. i also didnt care for how JC felt like a cardboard Reluctant Modern Movie Hero - right down to the phoned-in hero refusing the call moments. most of the stuff about his backstory was unnecessary, especially all the stuff where he keeps telling people he's done with fighting other peoples wars or whatever - it doesnt resonate, and it drags the movie down. you never believe him as a southern gentleman from virginia either
How did fucking Clash of the Titans get a sequel? Was that a blockbuster?
a big one!
How did Battleship get made at all?
thats kind of a funny story actually. universal was desperate for franchises a few years ago and hasbro had just switched to an aggressive firm looking to make some deals, so universal bought the rights to a bunch of hasbro properties, with penalty clauses if they didnt get projects off the ground within a certain amount of time. so to avoid a 7 figure penalty, they commit to a $200 million Battleship picture because it was the best choice out of a bad lot. i think their deal recently went in the toilet so there probably won't be any more boardgame movies in the near future.

tho that would suck hard
Monopoly could be great. Candy Land also if done similarly to Mr. Show's take on the Kroffts.
