Robin Hood (2010). Starring Russell Crowe
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/
I'm not sure why he's listed as playing both Robin and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Apparently the idea was actually abandoned quite a while back and now he's just Robin Hood.

Depending on what direction this takes.. my posts on this movie might transfer over to the dread thread.

I actually found the movie because I was looking at Ridley Scott's imdb stats. 
Here's a movie I would like to look forward to but I'm hesitant to do so.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075/
Seeing Jake as the prince.. God damn. lol
Kingsley, Alfred Molina and the minor cast are pretty good choices. Give or take.
At least Jordan Mechner is on the writing team, that's promising. Actually the entire writing team is pretty good.

Realistically, yes.
Wishfully, no.
I want to give it a chance before we flush it down the toilet.
But, if it's already in the toilet and it resembles shit, why am I going to let it sit around smelling up my bathroom? I'd rather just flush it and move on with my life than wait for the shit to sprout arms and legs and swim about, raising itself up from the toilet water to make something of itself. I'm a busy man.Ramen4ever said:

AHHH!!! My Eyes!!!!
You know.. I think that chest hair is glued on. I seem to recall that he was hairless in Jarhead.
Anyway, Flush it. Flush it now!
P.S
Watch the footage.

I think they borrowed the costumes at around 1:30 from 300.
Ugh, what the fuck. I'm waiting for the punchline cause this has GOT to be a joke.
I am really looking forward to the new STAR TREK movie. Don't know if it'll be good but I recently became a fan of TOS (saw it back in 2006 and has rewatched it once since then) and it is easily one of my favorite Sci-fi shows ever, the other being Farscape (though they are nothing alike.) Like Griffith said, it's a real science fiction show. I could never get into any of the other incarnations and though I used to watch the movies (mainly the Wrath of Kahn, Search for Spock and Voyage Home "trilogy") I found the original series to be far superior. (The first movie is pretty much recycled material from two earlier TOS episodes, and The Wrath of Kahn is a "sequel" to a really good TOS episode called "Space Seed".)
I decided to watch TOS because I wanted to watch the origin of "Kahn", downloaded "Space Seed" and found it really enjoyable to watch. After I heard LOST creator J.J Abrams was a big fan of TOS and that LOST was influenced by STAR TREK (the idea to include an Iraqi main character was inspired by Roddenberry's inclusion of black/asian cast members on the bridge of The Enterprise which are all first for US TV series) and heard so many pop-culture references from TOS in great shows like LOST and Farscape that I simply had to watch it "once" to get all the references. But I had no idea I would become such a fan of it.
My first impression was that it really doesn't seem outdated. Of course it bears the marks of its age - the special effects are of course not great by today's standards, although they were probably very good for the 1960s; the monsters that appear in some episodes look cheesy, as they were guys in suits (fortunately not many episodes feature monsters, especially not with a lot of screentime.) The most outdated thing about the show is things like the lack of important female roles etc. Still, it has to be said that the show was in some ways ahead of its time in that department, having a black female regular character in the main crew.
Similair to 'The Prisoner' cult show that I just recently discovered, it's age does not get in the way of it feeling like a quality show. With some exceptions, the stories are very good (some were written by acclaimed Sci-Fi writers such as Richard Mattheson, Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison etc.); the science behind them can be rather questionable, but if what you're looking for in Sci-Fi is a combination of philosophical and ethical issues, character interaction, action and good drama, then you'll certainly like it. The characters are strong (Spock may be one of the most interesting TV characters ever), the acting of the main cast and some of the guest stars is very good - particularly Nimoy and Kelley, but Shatner was actually quite good in his role, too, and didn't overact nearly as much as people say he did. Although, there was some really bad overacting by some of the guest stars (I couldn't stand the actor who played Harry Mudd and I skip those two episodes from now on.)
I actually think it feels less dated than The Next Generation. From what I saw and hear TNG tried to be sophisticated but often felt too naive and preachy instead, I felt like I was watching an "educational" show for children, heavy on political correctness, while TOS feels more natural and grownup. Not that TOS never had its preachy moments, but it wasn't as on the nose and pervasive as what I saw in TNG. Though I hear TNG was a good show in its later seasons.

That actually looks really good.
In fact my second viewing of it makes me that much more excited for this movie!

All praise Grail
What?? I knew it was Arcade Fire right away. Just a weird version of the song "wake up". I loved it! but maybe a bit more because I'm a fan of the arcade fire and was familiar with it.
The trailer was amazing and I'm glad Jonze used that song. The whole album plays like a soundtrack, perfect choice, imo!
"You better look out below"!!!

Looks like the monster is computer generated. But hey, Gandolfini in a custome like that would be nice.
