The FFINO ZONE

[Krystal]

That was deep.

Thanks butt Im ashamed I ms.spelled the movie title--I meant Fantastic "FORE"--as in "get out of are whey Hollywould were coming threw with our blockbuster movie!"

 

[Saitou Hajime]

I'm pissed that the epic Richards/Doom rivalry is going to get marginalized for a third film. Professor X/Magneto can be done justice for 5 films, but God forbid you get the former done right for just ONE film.

 

[Krystal]

That's what they never understood. If we got it right the classic way just once, then after that we might excuse making a bunch of changes. Fox wanted to change the claasic version before giving the fans ONE faithful rendition.

I am still trying to comprehend what is happening in the beginning of TV spot 21... Reed: I am building something.. (grabs a helium balloon) IN MY GARAGE!
Even the editing in the tv spots is terrible...

"hey guys do we have any funny scenes for the marketing"
"not really... I mean we have this... its not that great..."
"we'll beat it to death and put it in every TV spot!"

I adjusted my office chair yesterday and laughed out loud thinking about FFINO. That and the "White guys are so lame!" missed fist bump are comedy gold.

I guess the seating in Denny's really does suck. :0

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The chair scene and Kate Mara smirking have been beat into my head so much that I can't stand it.

This graphic is begging for someone with some talent to add something to it.

Somebody needs to put Joe Biden behind MBJ in that GIF:

Oh good lord.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I'm wondering why Fox would allow them to paste the Denny's logo over their climactic moment like that?

Would George Lucas allow a Denny's logo plastered over the Death Star?

It seems that Fox has realized this film is a complete joke and they're not even making an attempt to maintain an illusion of seriousness any more.

Maybe this will be Batman and Robin.

 

[Orba]

I've said it before but I'm sure that the people doing the marketing are Arrested Development fans that are just messing around. I really have a hard time believing that they did all this stuff with a straight face. "Thing Sauce", "Rock Hard Adventures", "Flaming Adventure" to name just a few of their memorable choices.

Oh man oh man oh man.

It's so freaking bad. This is what passes for comedy in this movie.

Fox Executive 1: Okay, let's consider our options for people who want to partner with us for promotion on this.

Fox Executive 2: Well there's Denny's.

Fox Executive 1: Do we really want our film associated with cheap food and explosive diarrhea? Well, maybe I should be open minded. What do they want to do?

Fox Executive 2: They want to feature our characters in goofy commercials, slap their logo over our best images and create a menu using our characters and sexually suggestive food.

Fox Executive 1: You're kidding. That sounds awful. Let's take a look at other options. Who's next?

Fox Executive 2: Nobody.

Fox Executive 1: Okay. Denny's it is, and give them whatever they want.

 

[Quasar]

It's so freaking bad. This is what passes for comedy in this movie.

And yet it will likely be the most unintentionally hilarious movie since The Happening.

And we also need a shot of the Thing in the diner facepalming because that's what the kids like these days right? The facepalm....lulz.

One can only hope.

Because that version of the shot is no longer in the movie.

I know we've seen these Kinberg quotes before. These are from a new story from Gamesradar. But the raw arrogance and stupidity should not be forgotten:

“The previous movies had treated fantastic as a synonym for excellent or awesome. And we wanted to treat it more like when the word fantastic means fantastical, which is more science fiction, more horror to some extent. "

"instead of treating it like it’s a gift, like they suddenly have superpowers that they can go and utilise, it’s a curse."

"And the FF’s transformation, for him, was a literalisation of that coming of age. To make them older, in their thirties or forties, would have taken away from what he wanted to do dramatically.”

"For Sue we wanted someone who was a little more mature than the other characters. It was important for us to cast someone who felt like she was legitimately a brilliant physicist and potentially even smarter than Reed."

“The initial instinct was to cast a big, burly guy, as it’s been depicted in the past. We met with a bunch of those actors. And then Jamie Bell’s name came up and suddenly it became more interesting to cast against type and start with someone who’s not massive in size but who becomes massive, so the transformation’s even more dramatic in his life."

"We wanted to use Doom because he’s the classic nemesis and also because we liked the idea of starting the movie with a bunch of characters who were friends. They could almost have been the Fantastic Five if circumstances had gone differently."

"And Fantastic Four is also, I believe a fundamentally difficult comic to adapt to a modern tone and a modern world. "

"It’s almost like if this is a coming of age story for these characters, the next movie is about what it is to be a grown-up in the world…”

 

[RAE072]

Wow. Wow.

That is just the worst.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

"And the FF’s transformation, for him, was a literalisation of that coming of age. To make them older, in their thirties or forties, would have taken away from what he wanted to do dramatically.”

This just confirms what I said yesterday.

Body Horror, Transformation = Puberty

Military = Parents and teachers holding back kids

This has gone from me having some hope that this film would have redeeming elements to being convinced this is going to be truly awful.

It would be hard for me to hate this any more than I do at this moment.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

"It’s almost like if this is a coming of age story for these characters, the next movie is about what it is to be a grown-up in the world…”

That sounds like a fascinating topic for a superhero film.

So we're basically being told not only does this film sound like the most pathetic pile of crap imaginable, but the sequel is going to suck also.

Absolutely unbelievable how dumb Kinberg sounds and how bad this film seems.
