That's because no one cares.
The movie needed more ninjas in kitchens.

Thinking about watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes again. Really enjoyed it when it was released, but that was nearly two years ago.

I'm a bit shocked how well EVIL DEAD is doing. I thought for sure JP3D would be winning the box office, but not by a long shot.

For certain 007 movies take a lot of liberties, but oh Lord that clip looks like something out of a poorly written episode of Hawaii 5-0 and not a high budget franchise film.
If you say so. It seemed fine to me. Especially Famke Jenssen. :wink:
Yeah other than the music this seems fine, there a lot more examples in this film of it being terrible. I think Tomorrow Never Dies is far more unwatchable then Goldeneye. Jonathan Pryce is just a total ham in that movie.

My world of s#!!ty but still awesome movies is coming to an end:

Orlando Jones to replace Tyler Perry as Madea

Squawk all you want, but the TP Madea movies aren't really films, but plays on the big screen. They are cliche' to a capital T, but the Madea character is the draw of the movies and without her...well, I'd say meaningless to see.

What really delivers the kick to the stomach is that Perry is giving up the stage shows, which are far better than his films/tv shows.

This stinks.

Hmm...I don't know, I like Orlando Jones. His version of Madea is a little strange to see(the Madea Wikipedia page has already been updated to reflect the change), but I am glad he is receiving the exposure of playing such a well known character. And Perry's films are hit or miss, but maybe with this he can really improve his game. He has been branching out into other projects lately. Let's see what he does with this.

For sure, but Orlando Jones to TP is as Shemp is to Curly. Pop-Tart to Toaster Strudel. MJ to JT (no offense jungle toad).

The thought of not having TP as Madea in a live production is the worst. I'll listen to anyone who says "Tyler Perry shows and movies suck b@lls" and I'm fine with it. Saying his live shows stink will get me in a tizzy.

Not to blow things out of proportion, but this is a bit like when Robin Williams was all "I want to be taken seriously".

I'm bummed that there won't be an A-Team sequel...

On that note, here's a trailer for Elysium, which contains the main reason why A-Team was awesome (Sharlto Copley):

It's still on the table, with the same cast.

Can't promise anything, but the big let down was merchandising and not sub-par BO numbers. Most of that was foreseen because The A*Team isn't GI Joe, but I think we may see another A*Team in 2015/2016.

It's a "sooner is not always better" situation and studios are still eating up reboots.

Saw LES MISERABLES the other day. It was quite amazing and one of the few movies to make me cry. Twice. Anyway, amazing performances all around, blah, blah, blah.
