New Hulk Trailer...

[peewee's lovechild]

Man, am I the only one psyched for this thing? I think the CGI looks way ahead of the last one IMO, and I like the look for the new Abomination. It kind of reminds me of the creepy half human/half alien from Aliens: Resurrection.

And sorry Mrs. M, but when I first heard of this one I went down the cast list and William Hurt was the only one where I didn't think there would be some improvement. Sam Elliott was probably the only good part of the last one.

Sam Elliott was solid in the first movie. And, Bana was pretty damn good.

The acting wasn't the problem, because even Nolte was pretty solid. The problem was with the pacing of the movie.

I agree 100%, though I was never really sold on Bana. He did OK, but he just seemed a little too hunky, leading mannish to play Banner. But yes, the pacing was godawful. They just tried to do too much with it. There's a lot of great underlying themes to the character of Banner/Hulk, and it seemed like they wanted to stuff all of them into the film. Pick one and go with it. The Hulk can be a tragic Frankenstein monster. He can be a metaphor for the inner demons that trauma can create in children. He can be a metaphor for all sorts of statements on the military industrial complex. He's been all of those things in the comics. But you try to make him all of those things in one movie and you end up with a muddled three hour Freudian study about sons and fathers. The fact that they are approaching this new one with the idea of it being a series is something that gives me hope that they can still show the depth and power of the character without boring the out of people.

No problem, I respect your opinion!

[mardigan]

They have to use cgi on the Hulk. He's much too big to have an actor in a suit play him.

[desflood]

What ever happened to Lou Ferrigno, anyway?

I think they did go for the inner demons that trauma can create in children. It would have been good if they stuck with that, but they also threw in the "dangerous in altering genetic content" stuff and the governments willingness to exploit the power of it all.

I agree that they tried to put too much into it.

I don't agree on your hunky statement because it's a little gay. I'm disappointed in you.

bana sucked. the whole movie just kinda sucked. so yes, the pacing did suck but that wasn't why it sucked. it just sucked.

he was charging at least $30 for autographs at an Alamo Drafthouse in Austin when the last movie came out.

GTFO!

Am I remembering wrong, or was that the reasoning they used to cast Topher Grace as Venom in Spidey 3?

[Spurminator]

Liv Tyler? Why?

[Trainwreck2100]

He doesn't fight genetically altered dogs in this one does he?

[peewee's lovechild]

Liv Tyler? Why?

Because she's hot as .

[florige]

Geez please don't bring that up.

[ATRAIN]

Because she's hot as .

So by others theories because you think Liv Tyler is hot, its going to be a good movie?

[desflood]

GTFO!

Dude, he's been doing that for years! My husband hates the guy because when he was something like 12 (which was well over 20 years ago now) he met Lou and asked for an autograph, and the bas wouldn't give him one for less than $25. What kind of asshole won't sign an autograph for a 12-year-old kid because he can't pay him?

He must be really strapped for cash if he charges for autographs, geeeez!! Either that or he thinks his crap doesn't stink.

[Mister Sinister]

Tony Stark better have liquor in hand in his cameo in this. Else, they're doing it wrong.

For those few precious moments she come out, yes.

But, it's going to be a fest anyway.

Don't get me wrong I would bang her like a $2 , but I dont see what the big deal about her is. She has a butter face and her body is just ok.

[Spurminator]

She looks like an alien.

I liked her 10 years ago but ever since LotR she does pretty much nothing for me.




(But I wouldn't say no...)

Sorry. I'll try to make it up to you. How's this?

10 years ago like in the Aerosmith vids?

[ATRAIN]

Now we are talking, I wish she was in this movie. If she were this movie could be saved (by the hotness theory)
