Oh that. Yeah... that's definitely a Jewish-stereotype voice.
 
It's like he has no concept that characters and dialogue and situations can be funny, so he puts on the voice, thinking that it's the clearest shortcut to comedy.
 
Man, I'm loving the range of different styles on this score.
 
I'm really loving this world they've created with different nations, different Jaegers and the history they are creating. It reminds me so much of a lot of the Animes i enjoyed (Gundam/Evangelion etc)

I hope this actually becomes a series because it's epic, are there any other extra goodies that tell you more back story on the Kaiju war?

I mean there's the prequel comic that's already out, beyond that I don't know.
 
What is the "bible" Del Toro and Beacham refer to? Is it the art book, Man, Manchines, and Monsters? Or just a data base they have created in their heads?
 
Basically for TV shows and Movies a lot of times the creators will make a "Bible"

Basically the bible consists of descriptions of the different elements of the world, the history, the characters etc. It can be used as a starting point, a pitch, or as a consistent reference for all the various contributors and departments to look back on while they do their work.

As an example, here is the Show Bible that Ron Moore put together for his version of Battlestar Galactica. I don't know if you're familiar with BSG at all but this is very interesting. It again, has descriptions of their goals for the series, a statement of the premise, planned arcs, character backstory and just a lot of world building type stuff, not all of which ever explicitly made it to the screen but informs other elements in various ways.

The Pacific Rim bible is probably everything that will be making up the various "Pacific Rim Wiki"s that are already popping up.

Del Toro originally got involved in this project durring the stage when they were fleshing out what would become the bible for this film, expanding on the script and starting the design process. The way he describes it, he finished his work as was left feeling very envious of whomever was to inherit the project and get to direct it. When it became clear that Mountains wasn't happening, he himself took on Pacific Rim.

That would require having a shred of talent.
 
I get where both Tull and Faraci are coming from, but the film landscape is inexorably tied up with the money involved. With studios putting more of their eggs in fewer baskets, the success of one movie has a major influence on what we see next. Also, one can both enjoy movies in their own right as entertainment and artistic endeavors but I don't think its a bad thing that there's another ongoing conversation about shifts in tastes and marketability.

Also a major part of that is fueled by the studios themselves. They love touting giant opening weekends. Its not just a matter of their profits, it is used as a major selling point, the films presented as a phenomenon and something to get in on while the getting is good.

It can all get a little silly though I agree. Is it really significant that a film holds the "record for a Thursday night release, for a non-sequel, in June" ?

Is it surprising that a movie without a brand and no big names doesn't have massive market awareness weeks before its release?

The problem isn't that these conversations take place, its just the heedless doom mongering that gets out of hand, and not just for this movie.

The "Chocolate Wasted" line is in the Grown Ups 2 trailer? So its actually just rehashing lines from the first movie?

ugh.

At first I thought the same thing , but it's just them using clips of the first film as a flashback for the trailer. That little girl actually creeped me out in that scene. She seems deadly serious.

Women at my White House Down screening were affectionately quoting the "I wanna get chocolate wasted!" line during the Grown-Ups 2 trailer.

Anecdotal evidence shouldn't be taken to heart but I've never seen that happen before.

According to the ladies where I get my hair cut, Grown-Ups 2 is the most anticipated movie of the summer. :dry:

They're all married, live in the suburbs, most have small kids...and, "OMG, that's just us!"

They're all really into Twilight too, so take that as you will. And they're very nice and my hair always looks good when I leave, so I don't bash. I just smile poiltely when they talk movies. :oldrazz:
 
I like Devin and of course the movie actually being good is the important thing but if it bombs you aren't going to be getting anymore Pacific Rim's or any movies like Pacific Rim. In that way you have to care about the box office to some degree. Devin's mostly right but he is just whining about this box office talk because he fears Rim's box office failure after hyping it up to be a cultural phenomenon like Star Wars for at least 6 months. He has been very annoying and pushy about this film and it bothers the hell out of me.

Also anybody who roots for a Sports team has no right to talk about someone who wishes a movie they like success at the box office.

'We don't owe the corporations anything. We're on the side of the artists, of the directors and the actors and the writers and everybody who works on a movie, not the people who fund them. I don't care if Legendary gets rich, I care if Pacific Rim is good.''

Lost all creditability.

One thing this film has going against it in the marketing dept is that this image alone looks like the second act from Hellboy 2, cool for me, not so cool for the people that didn't bat an eye at that flick.

Toss the Perlman element in there and the GA's response is very predictable. I love this movie's concept(I spent hours roaming around their cool little site the other night) but they are selling something here that screams niche. At this point I'm just kinda curious which of the hellboy film numbers it's going to do. Given the big release date it might do more but then again it's got some major competition in that spot. Most likely going to open at number 3 if it's lucky.
