OPTIMUS PRIME ON DEMAND? 06.22.07 By Micah Robinson Contributing sources: Uberpulse.com, Nelson http://chud.com/nextraimages/trschud.jpgIf you’ve been reading the front page, you know that Hollywood has been considering a variety of options to firm up box office revenue and thwart the looming threat of piracy. One of the most controversial is the “premiere” day-and-date release which would see major blockbusters available for cable PPV purchase prices in the $30-$50 range on the same day they come out in theaters. With so many eschewing the increasingly shit theatrical experience for a night at home with the fam and the 50-inch HDTV/surround sound system they just dropped a few grand for, studios are desperate to get their hooks back into this most lucrative of moviegoers. And since a lot of having a pimp home theater is about showing it off to friends and acquaintances, what could be more “hip” than getting a must-see title at home where you don’t have to consider going all Hostel on the group of snotty punks two rows ahead who can’t stop texting for 90 minutes? The only question is which title is going to kick off this experiment, and the answer isn’t that surprising. It appears that Michael Bay’s Transformers will claim the mantle. According to techie site Uberpulse.com, the film will debut on July 3 on cable PPV for the upper-range price of $49. The story’s short on details beyond that, so I can’t tell you for sure that it will only be “cable” PPV, as opposed to PPV across cable and satellite systems. Still, either scenario would be a groundbreaker, and studios will be watching the returns and response very closely. Also watching will be theater execs, who are appropriately scared at being dealt another blow to their shrinking revenue. But even if there are snafus (and the one I’m rooting for is a simple labeling mistake to result in Transformers: The Movie being shown instead for the first several thousand orders or so. I believe Justin’s money is on TransAmerica.), this idea will continue to move forward. All these gatekeepers are more panicked by the loss of control than any short-term revenue hits. They’ve been spoiled by nearly a century of being able to dictate how the consumer can buy content, for what price, and how they will be allowed to enjoy their content. Now with the Internet as the great equalizer, that horse is long gone, and it’s going to be a long, messy negotiation between consumers and movie and music studios as to how things are going to be from here. There’s no magical silver bullet that will turn back the clock, and as the music industry is learning the hard way right now, you either get down or lay down.

The Hard Way - Thirsty Merc

Storm - Lifehouse

I don't even think it should be in the top 100 the movie was good but it was not great, but that is just me.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull May 22nd, 2008 Director: Steven Spielberg Writer: David Koepp, Jeff Nathanson Cast: Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent Early Summary: Steven Spielberg says that the film will feature all of Jones' former babes in various cameo roles. Karen Allen is expected to be back for one soundbite, and other Indy girls who had smaller roles will be coming back. It is still up in the air whether or not Kate Capshaw, Spielberg's wife, will make an appearance. Sean Connery as Indy's father will be back for a few scenes, and the film is set in the early '50s.

Well cyclops died early because he was too busy doing Superman Returns

Not a big fan of the cowl. It looks too small around the neck and makes his head look too big. The rest is fine but nothing really special. It's just a rubber suit. Actually there are way too many grooves on the suit. I'm getting a tron suit painted black feel. His suit in the comics has worked for over sixty years with minor alterations, but whatever. I think most directors try to stay away from the comics when it comes to following the story and uniforms. I think its there way of saying I did this and didn't just copy it from somewhere. Yeah, but when you take that route you get rubber nipples There is a difference between the word vision and changing something for no reason. I never read the Lord of the Rings but I would assume that they took the source material seriously and they made some great movies. The same approach worked for Sin City and 300. I know for a fact that V for Vendetta was changed quite a bit to suit the current political climate (and I think it turned out well). Let's face it, when movies like X-Men 3, Superman Returns, Ghost Rider, Elektra, and so on don't follow the source material they turn out crappy. Uhh...Superman with a kid. I liked Superman Returns and X-Men 3 The other two were yawners They just rush them too fast, they want them out so fast so they can make the money greedy hollywood Honestly it was not just the rubber nipples that made the old Batman's redonkulous, it was the cheesy acting/actor choices. I never liked those moves, I love Tim Burton but I thought he approached it all wrong. I didn't even like Jack Nicholson as the Joker I thought he did not fit the part at all.
