Movie Trailers that make you go "Oh GodsDammit!"

Actually, in JP it was the quantum weather butterfly, was it not? I'm sure that Ian Malcolm would agree that with the same start the venture could have gone off without a hitch (actually he probably wouldn't, but he'd be wrong not to).

The weather butterfly effect is found in chaos theory, not quantum mechanics. Despite being unpredictable, quantum mechanics is actually very predictable.

I disagree:
The driving force behind JP was not that science is bad. It used outlandish science as a premise to get a bunch of people running away from dinosaurs, which was actually the point of the movie. It was Conan Doyle's The Lost World retold for the 20th century.

Godsend takes a procedure that is very nearly comonplace now, and says out right that a clone is the exact same organism as the mother cell, and that there are direct metaphysical consequences.

That much is true. I'm extrapolating Jurassic Park's agenda based on the sequels. Godsend, if anything, is far more blatant about its agenda than Jurassic Park.

The difference between the movies as far as I'm concerned, is that JP doesn't appeal to a supernatural entity, (except in the opinions of the characters) whereas Godsend does.

Again, I didn't get that from the movies at all.

"This is what happens when you play God," pretty much solidified it for me.

King Arthur in what is clearly a 1st century Roman legionary outfit ... ok .... Guinevere (played by the emaciated, feed me PLEASE Keira Knightley) as some sort of warrior queen ... what the fuck? What were they THINKING?

!!!

Why, why, why, why, why, why whywhywhywhywhywhy can't anyone in Holywood EVER READ A FUCKING HISTORY BOOK?

Not my phrase. Blame Pterry

Fair enough. I guess we just interpeted the movies differently.

PS I relaised after posting that that The Lost World was in fact 20th century. you got my point.

I'll likely get dragged by a horde of friends who worship the Arthurian legends.

But I dunno worst...but it's ranking unless it's a bad parody.

Maybe it'll have a lot of rock music in the soundtrack like that movie with Heath Ledger. , or Guinevere will be doing a lot of Xena style martial arts. Why not? If Richard Gere's "Lancelot" can do martial arts why can't warrior Guinevere?

Hell, why not...it'll make it more entertaining

Just take some night vision goggles, some ear plugs and read Camelot 3000 while waiting for the movie to end.

There's an idea.

I was just going to count popcorn bits.

I just saw a trailer for the King Arthur movie. Between that and Ridley Scott's "Revisionist History Part Deuce: Crusader Edition"...

Someone kill me now.

Worst. Trailer. Ever. The Phantom. Anybody remember that movie?
Anyway, a (seemingly) five-minute long trailer, chock full of generic, forgettable action from a generic, forgettable action movie, presented in such a way as to blow wide open every single action sequence and most (if not all) of the plot, yet still boring the audience stupid. In its way, probably the most honest trailer ever made.
Oh, look, it's Billy Zane looking like a mad bastard! That's a switch. Some guy jumping into the air! Catherine Zeta Jones is fit! And now some people crossing a rope bridge and IT BREAKS!!! AND THEY NEARLY DIE BUT... THEN THEY DON'T! Drama! And here's some shitty GCI from what looks suspiciously like the end of the movie, but then who cares, eh?

If you're a fan of Hellblazer, you might one to check out the trailer for Constantine for a bad trailer.

There's a link in Fantasy.
