just to let anyone who has seen the avengers know, agent coulsen is not dead. how do i know this, well, the actor who plays him (clark gregg) has signed for six films and only done four.
huddz red

(0)

Iron Man 1 & 2, Thor and Avengers. So i'd guess he'd pop up in Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 then?

(0)
(0)

They dont have too use him..

Jigglypoof

(0)
(0)

Didnt he appear in hulk as well??
KiwiRed

(0)
(0)

Jigglypoof, if they don't have to use him then why pay him to do six if they only want him in four films. marvel have a plan till 2016 (avengers 2) of which films are coming out and when, they are not going to spend money silly are they mate.
huddz red

(0)
(0)

I never said he wouldnt be in anymore Marvel films, but Marvel decide when and how hes used. He may of signed for 6 films, but I doubt they have paid him in advance? That would be spending silly money. Mark Ruffallo has signed on to be in 6 movies, do you honestly think he will be in 6 Marvel movies?

Jigglypoof

(0)
(0)

Can't remember him in Hulk. If its the Ed Norton version, i remember Stan Lee and Tony Stark's cameos.

(0)
(0)

Yes i do jigglypoof. why spend the money on getting the contract drawn up for that amount of films and then also say sign for six films but only do 3. deosn't make sense.
hudz red

(0)
(0)

Ask Terrence Howard? Im under the impression he was signed up for Ironman 2..........Did you see him in the movie? No. Marvel put these actors on 6 film contracts so if the films are hits, the actors cant renegotiate for a bigger slice of the money pie. And if you could tell me what 6 films Mark Ruffalo will be in I will be forever thankful..

Jigglypoof

(0)
(0)

No mate terrence howard did not sign for iron man 2, he asked for a hell of a lot more money than they could afford or want to give him so they got don chealde instead who was better anyway.
huddz red

(0)
(0)

As for the ruffalo films i am assuming 2 new hulk films, avengers 2 and 3 and maybe bit parts in captain america(super soldier serum), or iron man or maybe an unnamed marvel movie like antman or something.
huddz red

(0)
(0)

Terrence Howard was asked to take a pay cut, he didnt ask for more money. He was the highest paid actor in the first film and was entitled to the same sum of money in any sequels. As he had an ironclad contract Marvel gave him the boot.....Oh and Favreau thought he was a dick.

Jigglypoof

(0)
(0)

He may be In the beginning of Iron man 3, because he left with Stark at the end of The Avengers. I cant see him being in Captain America because that film supposedly will involve SHIELD, as Cap needs a new starting off point. If he gets a Hulk movie theirs no way of knowing if it will be successful enough to warrant a sequel and isnt Edgar Wright directing Ant man? I doubt he would involve the Hulk in an origin story....

Jigglypoof

(0)
(0)

Maybe he is dead, and any apearances are in the form of flashbacks?
Maybe he appears as his own twin brother?
Maybe a clone?
Maybe, if Agent Coulsen is dead, they'll stick a fake wig and tash on Clark, and have him as henchman no.3, in order to fulfill his contract?
Maybe Patrick Duffy wakes up and realises it's all a dream and Colsen wasn't killed after all?

Redjinal

(0)

Jigglypoof if howard had an ironclad contract then he would have have to been in iron man2 then wouldn't he and favereau thought r.d.j was a dick not howard, which is why he aint directing iron man 3 as r.d.j thought they could improv the whole movie again like the first and was arguing with favereau over this and the fact iron man2 was just a massive advertisement for the avengers.
huddz red

(0)
(0)

And anyway coulsen is a shield agent so he could be in cap america 2. for all know coulsen might be dead an im wrong but he could also just as easily be the glue that ties all these movies(apart from the avengers film obviously) to keep the marvel universe together

went to go see the avengers last night, got to say it was EPIC!!! Hulk owned the film and every character was played brilliantly especially loki. its great to see a villian be a proper b**tard and not one that doesn't hurt anyone. can't wait for avengers 2 and can't wait to see what they do with(SPOILERS) Thanos from the mid credit scene.
huddz red
p.s agent Coulsen rocks. the man is awesome {Ed001's Note - I loved it too, and my daughter did. Without a doubt the best super hero movie ever.}

(0)
(0)

Spoilers again!! so ed do you think coulsen is really dead, i don't. and what did you think was the best bit for you. for me it was either hulk punching thor in train station or hulk smashing loki about then sayin "puny god".that made me lol
huddz red {Ed001's Note - or the running gag about the Captain America trading cards? Between those 3 I think.}

(0)
(0)

Hat was funny, but the missus didn't get why i was laughing at half the stuff, mind you she isn't a comic book nerd like me. anyways glad you liked it ed cant wait for amazing spiderman and dark knight rises now.
huddz red {Ed001's Note - Dark Knight Rises looks good, I just hope Spiderman follows in the Avengers footsteps.}

(0)
(0)

I heard they filmed an extra scene after the Premiere? involving Stark and Banner...I would like to think those two could bring back Coulson....Maybe try and transfer his brain patterns into a robot/automaton, and create Ultron or Vision.

Hey ed have you seen the second end of credit scene with all the avengers eating shwarma if not i will give you a link to pic of them round a table munching. you will have to scroll down the page to the comments page as somehas it on there, it might even be on yuotube now.www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=58959. it is quite a funny pic.
huddz red {Ed001's Note - I didn't see that and we were one of the last to leave!}

(0)
(0)

Its an extra scene added for the American audience because they had to wait two weeks longer for its release....It supposedly has no dialogue.

Jigglypoof {Ed001's Note - how come they get extras for having to wait? Everyone else usually has to wait and gets nothing for doing so!}

(0)
(0)

Oh Ed001 chin up! It doesnt add anything to the plot.. But on a more serious note, you really should change your Ed number to 209... {Ed001's Note - just pointing out how spoilt the American audience is! Why 209?}

Robocop 2 ed.
huddz red {Ed001's Note - oh right, that was a terrible film sorry.}

(0)
(0)

Did you know they're rebooting robocop ed?
huddz red {Ed001's Note - the first one is a classic, as was Silver Bullet's 20 Seconds To Comply. So, if it is anything like that, I will look forward to seeing it, but no I didn't know about that. Any idea who is in it?}

(0)
(0)

Strike Entertainment partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing, Josh Zetumer penned the script and Sony will distribute the MGM film.
Joel Kinnaman, who will play Murphy/Robocop in the upcoming reboot, revealed a few details to MTV that may upset some fans. It won't be just "jaw action" this time around, Robocop's peepers will be on display..
Fans of Paul Verhoeven's original have been wondering exactly how director José Padilha would go about rebooting the movie, and the character. I think many assumed the new Robocop wouldn't look too different from the big chrome headed lug we all remember. But according to actor Joel Kinnaman, who will take over the role from Peter Weller, we may be in for a suprise (shock?) there..
this is all i could find so far ed, hope this helps.
huddz red {Ed001's Note - fingers crossed they get it right, shame the message behind the original was lost on most people!}

Iw as great right? Storyline, superb! Make sure to stay after the credits, theres a little bit at the end you have to see. Most of the people in the theatre when i was there left when the credits started but dont! Wait and watch the next bit, very interesting. What a great film though, unbelievably hiarious at times too! You and your daughter will love it ed, have a great time.

I went and saw the hunger games and i honestly didnt enjoy it as much as everyone else was making out. Too much hype for me, it was good but the story lacked a little substance. Anyway soooooooo looking forward to the Avengers!
KiwiRed {Ed001's Note - a friend of mine went to see it, said she would write a review of it for the site but found it so boring she couldn't be bothered to write about it. Hunger Games I mean, not Avengers, which does look damn good!}

Im not suprised ed, it was very boring. It didnt go into depth at any part of the movie, i read the plot and it said she used the boys affections for her in order to get more sponorship but all she did was kiss him once! I was expecting them to profess their love or at least have more than on instance. It was just a bit dull for me.

Kevin Spacey in Horrible Bosses
Christian Bale in American Psycho
Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds
Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
Tobin Bell in Saw {Ed001's Note - I have to say, much as I was shocked because I was expecting it to be awful, Horrible Bosses was a decent watch.}

(0)
(0)

Watched it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've always liked Kevin Spacey's acting. Jennifer Aniston looked amazing. {Ed001's Note - it was one of those films I didn't want to watch but thought I would give it a try because someone was talking about it on here. Fair play I am glad I did.}

(0)
(0)

I watched it on similar circumstances, the missus wanted to see it. i agreed, if she agreed to watch what about bob or dirty rotten scoundrels, but i'm glad i watched it. {Ed001's Note - oh damn, I hope you didn't tell her you enjoyed it? You will never hear the end of it now!}

(0)
(0)

Yeah i've had the i told you so's all day, but she's going to enjoy What About Bob tomorrow night, she probably won't admit it though. {Ed001's Note - you will get it every time she wants to watch anything you don't mate, you will be getting crowbarred into every chick flick for the next 20 years with that leverage.}

(0)
(0)

She's not really into chick flicks, but i've had to sit through some awful horror flicks in the past. {Ed001's Note - I am not a fan of horror flicks personally, so you have my sympathies.}

Yea forgot about him in Horribly Bosses...seen it with the lads n everyone crossed their legs with jennifer anniston...she was delish, I actualy thought colin farrel was alrite in it aswel

Who has seen and liked die hard with a vengeance? I came across the alternative ending the other night and thought it woulda been a whole lot better if the decided to go along with it, woulda made die hard 4 a whole lot better...story line wise. {Ed001's Note - I haven't seen that, the original film was terrible I thought. What was the alternative ending?}

(0)
(0)

It's on YouTube ed...it's alot darker and that's why it wasn't used {Ed001's Note - ah ok, cheers I will check it out later. I will need something to do to keep my mind off the pain after the dentist butchers me!}

(0)
(0)

Well it's only 6mins long...u had better crack open the vodka aswell! {Ed001's Note - I don't drink mate, got Captain America in 3D to watch as well, so am going to settle down now and watch them both.}

(0)
(0)

Will look that up didn't know there was one, does he end up killing Jackson? Seems to die in everything else.

Ed Captain America is a decent enough film, typical Marvel suspend your disbelief but some good action bits. I still prefer Thor and Iron Man though.

(0)
(0)

Ed did you see Captain America ? {Ed001's Note - yes mate, it was a great trailer for the forthcoming Avengers movie and really got me in the mood to see that. But, as a stand alone film in its own right, it was not one of the best, distinctly average I would say. Though the woman in it was very watchable it must be said!}

(0)
(0)

Like i said the other night Ed, its a decent enough film, alright to watch with a mate or 2, some beers and pizza/ takeaway. Not as good as Iron Man 1 or Thor but better than a lot of dross out there. {Ed001's Note - I agree completely, though I have to say I would recommend not bothering with the 3d version. It was just pointless having 3d on it at all really.}

(0)
(0)

Yeah the ending was great in Captain America, simply because it showed how he ends up in the Avengers. But the rest was cheesy and supremely average. You should watch Thor ed, that was brilliant i thought. Plus who else is really looking forward to wrath of the titans?
KiwiRed {Ed001's Note - I have Thor, decent film, but I prefer the Iron Man films myself, they are the best of the current comic book hero crop for me, or the latest Batmans. It depends on the mood I am in, Iron Man are fun, Batman is better for a serious mood. As for Wrath of the Titans, I am not looking forward to it after Clash of, that was a dreadful film. Still it couldn't be any worse than that!}

(0)
(0)

Huh, interesting. See i enjoyed clash of, but I know people who didnt like it at all so i know where your coming from ed mate. But the Avengers for me, will be film of the year. Going to see it on the 25th or 26th when it comes out over here in nz.

has anyone ever noticed in american tv and films anything set in new york always has a blue tint to it.

Lol what?

(0)
(0)

No honestly it does, New York in various tv/ film, the exterior has a very blue wash to the film.

Like Heroes, CSI, Payback etc etc. I know on Heroes they cam eout with some reason why they did it, can't remember now but you could always tell which segments were meant to be in NY as they were very blue compared to lA and the rest of the US.

Watched Payback last night and noticed it again, the outside scenes were very blue.

Watched Woman in Black the other day and have to say it is a very typical Hammer film. Very atmospheric, great cinematography, brilliant score, and most importanty extremely wooden acting. Harry Potter was out acted by a 6 year old boy in the first scene and never convinced me beyond that as if he had any emotional connection to the role.
If you are of a nervous disposition then this film will be a good watch. If the only suspense thriller you enjoy is halloween then leave this one alone.

Radcliffe is a poor actor, anyone who's watched all 8 Potter's will attest to that. In all them he only has one expression that "o what you mean me" sort of range of fake surprise.

He was regularly outshone by Rupert Grint and Emma Watson his co stars and also by guy who played Draco malfoy (Tom Felton?) and the guy who was Neville Longbottom (sorry don't know his name) despite those 2 very often being nothing more than supporting actors at best and cameo parts in the main.

You would think that working with practically the who's who of British acting including the likes of Alan Rickman, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Gambon, Gary Oldman and so on that he would have picked a few tips up.

Yes you are correct, in the potter films he was very akward and wooden

I always liked the soundtrack for Conan the Barbarian... Oh and Willow! Have know idea why though...

What about the stand by me sound track?

Willow is a good shout, and i always have a fondness for Starship Troopers especially the music in Rico's first big battle when they invade the Bugs planet only to get battered. Sends shivers up the spine it does.

Need to listen to Conan more.

Quad goes without saying good shout. {Ed001's Note - it depends on the music you like really, anything with a score done by Quincy Jones tends to be very good, if it is your kind of music.}

I recognise the name Ed, whats he done film wise?

Basil Polidouris is quite good too. {Ed001's Note - Started off with a film called 'The Pawnbroker', and he has fully written the film scores for 33 major films. He also does a lot of the film score arrangements, as they call it, where he chooses the songs rather than just writes them. The man is a legend, worked with everyone from Frank Sinatra onwards. You would be surprised how many films and TV series he has worked on.}

Wondering if anyone liked the films Push and Jumper? i loved both of these but there doesn't seem to be any sequel plans. Jumper the book was completely different from the film and it had a sequel Reflex which is also good.

I thought Jumper was alright, not as bad as people made out.

I enjoyed both of these movies but unsure if any sequel is to be done. However, there's a new film out which you may enjoy if you liked these. Its called chronicle. Not exactly the same but does look good, this and I am number 4, haven't seen either yet but they look interesting so gonna give them a go over the weekend, unless they're not as good as they look? anyone??

WelshScouse {Ed001's Note - I have seen I am Number Four. It was a bit of a kids film, I thought. For teens I mean, rather than a really good film. It was so memorable I had to look it up on IMDB to remind myself just which film it was! It isn't a bad film, but not one I would recommend either.}

Not seen either, saw the trailer for Chronicle, its a maybe, don't go to the cinema as much these day i'm afraid :(

Have seen Chronicle and it was a good film, although I could have waited to see it on the telly but missus wanted to go to cinema and forced me and that was only thing that took my fancy. Other choices were the war horse/iron-lady.
Bit s**tty in places but the lead actor reminds me of a young Dicaprio, Basketball Diaries style.

Just seen the trailer for hunger games and it looks remarkably like battle royal. If you haven't seen it it is a quality Asian film with the same concept of hunger games except the kids aren't trained and the are all from one class. Well worth a viewing.

Er Paso not sure how to break this to you, but it looks as if the Hollywood version is actually back on....

Just looked it up, and found there's a page for it on imdb.com with a release date of 2015 for it.

Honestly the last time i looked it had been canned.

imdb.com/title/tt0814023/

Seriously not looking forward to it. It is a great film and you just know it'll be a load of 90210 cast offs and Jocks.

Fingers crossed that Hunger games is too successful and the studio that owns the remake rights realise they are battling against a hollywood institution so decide to can it. Agree if it goes ahead i will unfortunately watch it as i love the original so much, but there is no way they are getting a single penny out of me for it - 1channel all the way!

Hi Eds just wondering ever since you took away the links from the top of the pages and hidden them the talk forums seem to have gone really quiet recently with little crack going on. just wondering if anything can get done about this to get the crack flowing again? {Ed001's Note - I will get the links put back I think, you are right I have noticed it too.}

Agree with Bond, too much average stuff.

I did think i wouldn't enjoy hangover 1 and 2 but they were alright. {Ed001's Note - but they didn't exactly make you laugh till you were ribs hurt though, which is the problem these days. Comedies are too busy with a story to actually concentrate on just making you laugh!}

I do like Python, but i think its a sad state of affairs whereby modern comedy has got so poor that a bunch of guys in their 70's have to come out of retirement.

Where is the new Python? Even when they packed in you had the Not the Nine O Clock News team, Only Fools, Blackadder. Ok all on Tv and the last 2 were sitcoms but where are the good sitcoms?

Anyone says Outnumbered you want beating like a gong!

Ah now theres a question and one hell of a movie marathon, you'd need plenty of stims for that, bacon sarnies on an iv or something.

For me LOTR is a great read and a good film series, but there's something about Star Wars that gripped culture more. There not even that good as films, people do tend to over hype them because its there childhood, but who as a kid wanted to be aragorn, we all wanted to be Luke, snd i think thats because Star Wars appeals to the inner child wheres LOTR is more adult at least as a book.

has any1 else seen bank job with jason statham in it just seen it amd thouht i wood say it was a worldey {Ed001's Note - excellent film I thought, also enjoyed Killer Elite with him in it. That was a good film, from a book by a guy that since become more known for walking to the poles than his release of national secrets! I mean Ranulph Fiennes, in case you didn't realise.}

(1)

Yes seen Bank Job several times, good film. would love to read the secret files.

If you both like Jason Statham then i recommend you both watch the mechanic as that has got to be his best outing since transporter..........MovieBuff

Mechanic was good, and for once it wasn't entirely predictable as well. Transporter is a good shout as well.

Whats the one where he plays a detective looking for a cop killer? That was quite a good film as well. {Ed001's Note - I was trying to think what that was called myself, I like that film too, if you mean the same one as I do!}

Easily pleased i like it.

I'd say The Rite with Anthony Hopkins, that was a spooky little affair bit like the exorcist. Last one i saw recently.

The Invasion with Dan Craig and Nicole Kidman not really horror per se but a good take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I'm told the remake of the Omen was pretty good not seen it myself.

Cheers
{Ed008's Note - Very good film.

(0)

Its terrible...... {Ed001's Note - I would say it is not very good or terrible but somewhere inbetween. It is a bit boring at times, only gets going for about 20 seconds, then it is over. Big disappointment for me.}

(0)
(1)

I thought Will did a good job, carried the film quite well the time he was on his own just with the dog.

I must i was pretty cut up at a certain point in the film, which if you've seen it you know what i mean.

I thought the end was a bit rushed though, like they were just going in circles and had to find some way to end it, but over all i'd say 3 and half stars out of 5.

I would get the blu ray if you have a player m8 as i thought the alternate ending was much better than the original ending and that is an extra on the disc. i agree with people that the film wasnt the best but like i say the other ending somehow made the film better ...........MovieBuff

(0)
(0)

Film has some amazing scenes just the acting and story were a little 'rushed' for use of a better word. The original, although dated (1960s?), is still in my opinion a much better film - 'the last man on earth'. There was also a 2nd remake in the 70s called the omega man, with i am legend being the 3rd film adaptation of the book.

As poster above states you should try and get a copy with the altenate ending as a little better in my opinion.

Paso

(0)
(0)

I'll think on that, i only own 3 blu rays: the dark knight, kingdom of the crystal skull and the colour of magic.

(0)
(0)

By the way there are a couple of reasons i only own 3 blu rays, 1 is price and the other is i have 100's of standard def, but i'm currently going through them all and discarding some to make space for new (blu ray) purchases and a also need to upgrade some films to blu ray. {Ed001's Note - as soon as you build up a decent blu ray collection you can guarantee a better format will be out.}

(0)
(0)

Yes Ed agreed thats another reason why i've been holding off, but the main reason has been price. Think i'll go and bag a few essentials for as cheap as possible. {Ed001's Note - always worth going through a site such as topcashback before you buy them, can sometimes get decent money back that way.}

(0)
(0)

Hows that work? Will have a look ed cheers.

Need a way of flogging off the ones i'm chucking out cant be done with ebay too much faffing. {Ed001's Note - you register with them, then go through their site's links to buy what you want to. They often give you a percentage of your money back when you buy films etc.}

I know we usually talk about the best films we've seen but i was wondering what peoples worst movie experiences were?

I'll put forward:

blair witch 2 (5 us in a cinema, couldn't decide, last time that person got to pick)

wanted (the steaming pile of cack about assassins with angelina jolie, truly awful)

love actually (now yeah bear with me, i thought it was too convoluted, there were just too many couples to try and keep track of, and who was doing what to whom, it was lik they got every british actor who hadn;t done harry potter and just shoved them in a film, if it had been about 4-5 couples rather than the 9-10 i was or maybe it was more it would have been better)

Avatar utter crap.......DH {Ed001's Note - which one? The Cameron 'epic', which was just about special effects, like all his films, or the Last Airbender one, which my daughter had been looking forward to for months only for it to turn out to be dire (and that is being kind!).}

(0)
(0)

I liked James Cameron' avatar... {Ed001's Note - would have been better if the story had been the main focus, instead of just a bunch of not that impressive special effects.}

The Cameron one was the one I'm on about saw it in 3d nearly fell asleep brain numbing nonsense........DH

(0)

I must be the only person around not to have seen avatar, got sick of seeing the trialer and all the hype so didn;t eatch it on principle.

saw the airbender trailer in the cinema and it looked decent, then the name came up at the end of the trailer and half the audience burst out laughing. {Ed001's Note - I used to watch the cartoon on Nickelodean with my daughter, she absolutely loved it (as did I to be fair), but the film was awful.}

(0)
(0)

The worst for me was paranormal activity 2. I expected alot more after the first 1 but turned out to be as bad as blair witch project

(1)
(0)

Ed it looked a fairly strange sort of film to be honest. Better missed i think. {Ed001's Note - much better missed, the original cartoon is well worth a watch though.}

(0)
(0)

I don't get turning cartoons into films, ok i know us 80's kids are the ones with all the cash and are an easily targetable demographic hence a decade of marvel comics as movies, the star wars prequals and even transformers and action force films, as well all go to see what they have done to our childhood, but it shows how creativity has fallen.

The worst i've seen is the old version of 'I Spit On Your Grave' it has to be seen to believe - check out prob the worst acting anyones ever seen!! Gumbo

Eraserhead {Ed001's Note - I had forgotten about that, it was truly dreadful and made no sense at all! I have to add Holy Rollers to the rubbish list, I tried watching it yesterday and realised I was watching the timer count up more than the film. I kept saying to myself that I would give it five more minutes to get interesting, but after 16 min, I realised I was sat watching the clock go up waiting for 20min so I could switch it off! I gave up at that point.}

If you enjoyed the remake but haven't seen the swedish version i believe you should stop watching hollywood and watch the original.
I have seen both and the girl in american version - rooney mara is a terrible actress, she cannot give the depth of charater to the role that Noomi Rapace can. She successfully gives of the awe of an independent woman but doesn't portray the insecurities she holds.
I can see the american sequels being total garbage as the Blomqvist character becomes a supporting character in the originals but as it is daniel craig i can see other rewrites being put in (there were many rewrites of the story in the 2011 version, although mainly minor).
You may think i am a purist and dont appreciate remakes, and to an extent i am. However if this was a stand alone film i would think it was amazing, yet it does have the originals to be compared to and the revised version falls short.

Also if you watch the originals do not use dubbing as the voices in a dubbed version i had, then quickly deleted, were almost emotionless - subtitles are very good and very close to original script (i am the proud 'owner' of a swedish girlfriend)
