You are cool enough for the Exclusive The Hero, The Question, Zev & C.F. Kane thread

who's hating on it?

 

[C.F. Kane]

Parody is the sincerest form of ... flattery?

Wait, I got that saying wrong, um...

 

[Elijya]

yeah, as far as I know, everybody and their mother thinks 300 looks like the baddest ass thing since Nick Fury busted into a hydra base on a jet powered motorcyle with two laser guns while shirtless and smoking a cigar. Nobody is hating on it.

 

[C. Lee]

Even my wife wants to go see it...........

 

[C.F. Kane]

Even my wife wants to go see it...........

Probably because of Gerard Butler and his Torso of a Thousand Sit-Ups

These are a lot funnier than they have any right to be.

Elijya's and the Nightmare Before Christmas one are pure genius. Perhaps I might dust off the old ytmnd-o-matic.......

 

[Zev]

Liberals. No joke, I caught a negative review talking about how it's all just propaganda for the war in Iraq. Never mind, of course, that the comic the movie was based on was written before Bush was even president...

Oh, and Don't Piss Off Jack Bauer.

 

[Elijya]

actually, looks like the comparisons are going both ways

I liked the good ol days where movies were just movies.

 

[Zev]

The whole thing is pretty stupid. Is it somehow not obvious that the thought process behind the movie is "300 Spartans kicking Persian ass is pretty cool, let's make a movie about it"?

people will read politics into anything

I'm surprised you lot aren't talking about 'Hot Fuzz' much. Its the new action film that has spawned from the brains of the people behind 'shaun of the dead'.

The Trailer

(Ive seen it twice, its reeeally good; the trailer doesnt do it justice)

I saw a poster on another board ranting on and on about how Chris Nolan used Batman Begins as a propaganda piece. That Gotham represented America, corrupt and beyond saving, and that's why Nolan used a mostly UK cast.

 

[C.F. Kane]

True.

I once read an article saying that Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers was Communist propoganda.

 

[bored]

Don't forget how "Happy Feet" is animal-rights propoganda!

What? But the whole theme of the film is that Gotham ISN'T beyond saving! That's the biggest twist on Bat-canon the movie offers!

I think I'm in love with Flexo.
