I'd add LOTR (man, the 3rd disappointed ... but *sigh*)

IncantatioN said:Isn't Tokyo Drift the 2nd movie in that trilogy??
Oh, it's shit. I was just joking to prove your point: most sequels are complete garbage.Rhombaad said:Haha, I hated the first one so I didn't even bother with the second.
Aazealh said:Nope, there are 5 movies in the series, and Tokyo Drift is the third one.

I can't believe this is the work of Gondry. It looks like every other generic super hero piece of shit. Nothing against the Green Hornet but really? Seth Rogen? And that's the trailer for a Gondry film?
Baffling

Wow, you have outdone yourself. Well, apparently there are lots of lesbians trapped in boy's bodies 'cause I read excited comments all over the web.Griffith said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dzikBZTUy8
I disagree on all counts. Hack Snider's involvement aside, I'm not even sure who these action chick flicks are made for but lesbians trapped in boy's bodies. An actual sucker punch might be more enjoyable.

I guess you are all excited about Expandables.Griffith said:Anyway, that's my rant on movies like Sucker Punch, but I'm just an old dinosaur. My kind of cool action movies are extinct.

Griffith said:after all, it's not like I was into shitty 80's action movies, and Stallone made plenty of those too. =)
I agree. "glamor" type girls trying to be action heroes is a total fail. (Kill Bill is awesome though )Griffith said:I just don't get the appeal. In general, taking 100 pound actresses with no upper body strength, making them act unattractive, and having them pretend to be warrior women in cartoonish CGI situations, ones only a little more absurd than the idea of them as killing machines, is never a good thing. It's like a mixed metaphor meant to appeal to everybody but actually gives you the worst of both worlds; we're going to to take manly action and make it girly, and we're going to take hot girls and make them manly. It's still going to be stupidly violent and objectify women in the ways they hate, but somehow in an unappealing combination for men as well. Welcome to the uncanny valley!

Akira. I'll be crushed if they go ahead, they've been talking about it for a few years now.Truder said:I agree. "glamor" type girls trying to be action heroes is a total fail. (Kill Bill is awesome though )

EDIT: holy crap, they're making Cowboy Bebop
I would feel awful, but they already destroyed Dragon Ball Z for me, so there is nothing left for them to reduce me to
