The workprint is same as the finished version. Click.

No pineapples spotted anywhere.

Yes, I read that earlier today.

This is like stealing a piece of cake, eating it, and then telling the person who baked it you didn't like it and won't pay for the slice you stole. And then getting mad at the baker for making a cake you didn't like.

PS: Why did Peter get banned?

 

[Deaths Head II]

There is no broken glass, just different taste buds. Either way, you still stole the cake.

The cake has to have some imperfections. It just depends on whether you not you enjoy it's rich chocolately goodness enough to ignore them.

Check the reviews thread.

he consistently striked out violently against all the negativity...kind of like batman...

 

[Jick]

The poll is unfair.
I'll see it in theaters, but it's not like I don't mind Fox and the quality/respect to the material. I do.

 

[night0205]

I agree, I said they should close the poll...if they wanted to vote on who would see it bring back the old one...

You have no idea how much this made me laugh...

 

[chaseter]

Yeah that was a great post

Your way of thinking is a bit off. Studios protect their movies whether they are good or bad. It is only a bad movie by your standards anyhow.

Someone stole the film and put it online. Fox and everyone involved were in damage control mode and were encouraging people not to watch it online. You would do the same if you were in their position.

That's not entirely accurate. Movies with blockbuster potential get special full length screenings each year. Bay did this with Transformers 5 months before the film was released in 2007. Paramount had a special screening event of Star Trek a feel weeks ago. Paramount intentionally leaked versions for both of these films to an audience because they were convinced the films would do great.







I'm very happy about this news.

Star Trek is already outselling Wolverine through some advanced ticket sales. There's no way Wolverine holds on to that #1 spot after the second weekend. I predict it will have large dropoff just like X3 and Fantastic four 2.



The news on Wolverine outpacing Iron Man 3 to 1 in ticket sales doesn't bother me. Iron Man made over a hundred 100million during it's first weekend. I'm not sure how these ticket sale trends are calculated but, there's no way in hell Wolverine makes 300million during it's first weekend. The Dark knight made a little over half that amount. Wolverine will most likely make 60 to 80million during it's opening weekend. It will get destroyed by Star Trek and end up making in between what X1 and X2 made.

I'll be seeing it in theaters. A friend had a bootleg copy and showed it to me and I for one enjoyed it. Granted I'm not a comic die-hard when it comes to wolverine so that may be part of the reason, but I'll still see the final cut in theaters when its out.

 

[Theweepeople]

No its not.

I'm pretty sure its the 200 million (possibly even more) project named "Avatar" helmed by James Cameron.

Rumor has it that Avatar will cost over 300million when it is released. You would think that Fox is on good terms with James due to the lack of budget restraints but, I don't think the relationship will last as a result of a business decision Fox made recently.

This doesn't make much sense because most of the effects in Avatar were made for 3D viewership. I doubt that Cameron is happy about this news.

 

[Deaths Head II]

Fox sure has a good relationship with it's theaters.

If you ordered the cake and didn't like the taste ,would you get a refund?

 

[chaseter]

Fox is like a restaurant that once made delicious food and we all loved it. Then, they started serving crappy food and some left while some others keep going back hoping that their next meal will be good again.

But yeah, if the cake was nasty then I would ask for a refund and tell the baker that it was a nasty piece of cake.

If you're one of the few that didn't watch the leak and is going to choose to pass on the final film, I can respect that.

If you watched the leak, bashed it for a month here and are now choosing to skip the final film ---> YOU ARE A THIEF.

I've already said more than a few times in the Wolverine threads that I won't watch a bootleg or leaked film.

In my previous post I already stated that I will see this in the theatre, mainly because I'm a sucker for seeing action movies on the big screen. I just will most likely be paying for another film's ticket.

You know what, although I think that sucks for the theatres as well as for the viewers who were looking forward to seeing the new Ice Age in 3-D it almost brings a smile to my face.

Now this is just my guessing and speculation but between Fox cheaping out on providing 3-D glasses and also cheaping out with their films to rent on DVD not allowing the rental of 2-disc films with all the extras...I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of the money they are losing on a lot of these flops they keep having.

Hopefully if they keep producing more flops than hits they'll either eventually finally learn or may just die out in the future.

This is just wishfull thanking on my part. t:

 

[Deaths Head II]

I kinda feel the same way. If 2009 is another bad year for Fox then it's going to start a trend and if they are too thick to notice the trend and change their policies then they deserve to fail.

 

[chaseter]

They already deserve to fail

To me (in regards to the X-Men movies) it's more like a restaurant that slightly changed some of the ingredients in it's dishes (Singer's films, to Ratner / Hood), so the dish comes out with a different taste, but overall the food is about just as good as it originally was.

 

[chaseter]

You can have my table!

 

[EnDz0n3]

Rothman didn't lie because he was an ass. He lied to protect the movie. If some ******* didn't leak the film Rothman wouldn't have needed to lie at all.

I can sort of understand making excuses for Fox but this is just too out there.

Don't mean to be rude but people like you are the reason why undeserving people get into public office.

That was the plot of Ratatouille, except it was about Disney, and the rat represented Pixar.
