Movie poster roundup: Selma Blair, "Indiana Jones," Mischa Barton and more

WOAHHH that cast!!!!

I didn't know about this one (and the majority of the others above) so thanks scribe!!!!!
Something else to look foward to in 2008  :]

"Think Sideways"

I like that Naomi Watts makes off beat choices. Well, apart from King Kong - a movie so bad that it should've just been left on Skull Island to demolecularized (sorry, there's a Voyager mini marathon on and I'm overly susceptible to the merest of suggestions).

Despite Harrison Ford's cronage, I'll be at the next Indy installment on opening day. The first movie came out when I was 19 and ushered in my lasting interest in archaeology.

I saw that movie on the internet magically, and it was unwatchable.  I was interested because of Chloe, but it was seriously, seriously aweful.   (On a side note: Pleasepleaseplease let Chloe play gay again!)

However, I really want to see Teeth.  Funny Games could be interesting too, though disturbing (I'm probably going to see it because I love me some Naomi.  Micheal Pitt is cool, too).  Winged Creatures could go either way; the cast is good, the plot is...uninspired.

Yeah, that's a bad photoshop job on Diane Keaton. Not to mention Katie's abnormally long looking neck. lol. Yes, I'm aware that I may be the only one looking at her neck. : )

Dude, I CAN NOT WAIT for the Indian Jones movie!

Isn't Harrison Ford just, um, too old? 

NO. He's not. Harrison Ford is the up-and-coming Sean Connery. He's just going to keep going like the energizer bunny, and be totally awesome throughout. I also think that part of the movie is to comment on his age, and his life since saving dear ol' dad ... complete with Shia LaBouf as son of Indy.

I BELIEVE, Harrison, I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - WHY is Diane Keaton in a movie with Katie Holmes?? I'm not even going to comment on the seemingly weird trio with Queen of the Sexual Flip-flop, I just want to know WHAT the Katie Holmes appeal is - SHE TALKS OUT OF THE SIDE OF HER MOUTH. Diane, You're better than that. Mmmmmmkay?

And what’s he then that says I play the villain,
When this advice is free I give, and honest

Sisters - Saw that, wasn't to impressed with it. Despite that Chloe was in it.

Winged Creaters - "A group of strangers form a unique relationship with each other after surviving a random shooting at a Los Angeles diner." Okay that sounds a lot like The Nine, except in The Nine there was a hostage situation and it was a bank, not a diner, but afterwards the people form a bond.

Like we (uh well more America, but my heart belongs there) haven't had enough 'random' shootings lately, we have to see it in a movie as well? This better had a damn good plot in it.

Damn Dakota, Forest and Kate for being in this movie, now I have to see it.

The Way The Cookie Crumbles

I've seen the original version (which I think was a Scandinavian or German film) and if Funny Games is anything like the original, you're all in for a ride. It's a really f'ed up movie. Basically, if you like Saw, then this one will scare the hell out of you and doing it with far less gore.

It's A Clockwork Orange set in reality - it hit's home, literally. I hope that made sense. Anyway, it's quite disturbing but it's quite an experience as well. I don't think anyone could've been cast better than Naomi Watts.

I have a confession to make. I sometimes walk into Gap, pretend to look at couple of things, walk straight to Selma Blair's giant poster that's oh-so-fine (faux-hawk!?), stare my homo stare, and then leave all smilely. I know I'm not the only one! Looks like I'll be seeing Hellboy II :)

///atxxx///

I'm up for Indy and Trek.  I don't think Ford's  age will matter and I do believe his father and son will appear in this one.  The others sound like good fodder for the DVD rental.

That 'Winged Creatures' reminds me of a tv show that didn't make it last season. I think it was called The Nine, about people who survived a bank robbery and got into some kind of weird relationship.  The series ended before we found out what really happened.  I wish when they cancelled shows, they would at least publish 'What Happened at the end' somewhere so you at least know.

I hope there will be some better movies forthcoming!

If I wasn't going to see Hellboy II already, that poster would have made me. They SO do follow you.

Teeth- I like(that sound wrong) the placement of the rose. That is some good old euphemism humor there. Crap quote though.

"Bad jokes are us, ur me."

Wow...the movies that are coming out next year is heavyyy~

Looking forward to Hellboy2.Lol...just for support of Selma Blair.Lol.

No, no, no.

What have they done too The Decameron? Looking at the Virgin Territory poster, would you know it was a tale of love and death in Plague-ridden medieval Venice? I should never have gotten my hopes up once I saw the cast, but this is worse then I could have imagined.

I will defintely be seeing Hellboy II.  I just can't help but be mezmorized by Selma Blair.  I thought the first one was alright but it is one of those movies that if it is on, I just have to watch. 

Indiana Jones, I might actually pass on.  Still on the fence about that.

Mad Money I'll probably see.  I still haven't gotten completely over my Joey Potter crush.

And Stark Trek, haven't missed one yet - won't start now!  :P

But all in all, none of them really make me scream "Ooooh, I can't wait!!"  

I'm okay with the poster. It's just the first teaser poster. Look at the first teaser poster for Star Trek... Yeah, it's a bit recycled, but all the Indy posters are done the same way. So I'm okay with it. I'm just glad they didn't put Shia Leboeuf on it and ruin the pure awesomeness of Indy (though I wouldn't mind a Marion poster).

I'm still struggling with my reaction to Teeth- I seem to change my mind every five minutes. At times, it seemed to be all about empowering women- a metaphor for a woman taking control of her sexuality and not allowing herself to be manipulated by men.

On the other hand, it completely plays into the fear men have of women's sexuality (the review quote on the poster should tell you that much), and the character only takes control AFTER the fact, if that makes any sense (without giving anything away). The film is wall-to-wall sexual assault and castration, plain and simple.  If this film were your only guide by which to judge men, you'd think that every single one of them is a sexual predator.

It's got its darkly humorous moments and its graphic horror elements. Parts of it I loved, but a lot of it sat really wrong with me. I would love to see a film approaching the same subject matter written and directed by a woman.

Jess Weixler, however, has nothing to be ashamed of- she was absolutely brilliant!

Wow, selma blair looks sooo good on that poster, she's hot. The reason I watched hellBoy 1 was only because she was in it! Totally worth it!

Sally: OMG Dick, what if politicians get their hands on this lying-thing?
