Lionsgate are so bad at marketing films it's unbelievable.


Maybe no one wants to see Arnie in anything other than a Terminator film.

At his age? There'd have to be some daft reason for why a robot would look old. I'd much rather see him play really old Conan. So Terry Pratchett's Cohen basically
You may quote me on that.

He'll be in the next Terminator.

He's not just a robot though, is he?

Robot frame covered in flesh, it just usually gets destroyed before it has the chance to age.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be terrible, just there's no reason he couldn't have been lying around for 30 years, unused and the flesh has aged around him.

Heh. I love that clip.

A new write up about the film, saying why I think it is a good adaptation. You, fellow fans, will possibly have other reasons that I don't mention - I could easily have said more but I think the previous one lacked focus.

I think Arnold is still a bit more liked then that though. Did you see the final poster? It was absolute crap and really lazy. What I saw of their promotion on the facebook page was almost identical to Dredd's. They just use a cut and paste tactic that really doesn't seem to be working that well.

I am pretty stumped about why Texas Chainsaw, Saw and Hunger Games did well as they all looked as bad as they were. (Haven't actually seen Texas Chainsaw but looking at reviews it sounds like I don't want to)

Horror and Jennnifer Lawrence always sells.

Or maybe no one wants to see Johnny Knoxville, period.

I watched Dredd for the first time today. I got it on DVD. I liked it. Sure, the uniform was too bulky, the helmet too wide and the 'lawmaster' a bit poopy, but...
... so what?

Bring on the sequel.
Just a little rough and tumble, Judge man.

million on the back of the dvd cover. Could someone tell me why as its driving me nuts lol  :thumbsup:

COMMANDO FORCES
