Re: Cool Trailers
Hollywood, why are you only just now filming all my dreams from when I was 15?
Also, where is Farah Fawcett? She should be in there.

Re: Cool Trailers
I think it'll be pretty goddamn awesome, but I am hoping some of the stuff in there isn't final renders, cause while some of it looks great (especially most of the robot shots), the cg destruction and most of the creature shots look pretty fake in spots. As soon as my eye catches that a big destruction scene is all cg, I get totally pulled out of the action scene, so that last money shot does nothing for me. Del Toro is usually great about avoiding this problem (except for 3 shots in Blade 2, and 2 of those are so badass they're worth it) though, so I'm not very worried.

I'm starting this meme. I think it's got potential.

Re: Cool Trailers
I do love the shit out of that line, surprised no-one's used it before in a movie.
If Schwarzeneggar's End of Days had been the goofy Arnie vs Satan action movie it should've been, instead of a shitty way-too-serious piece of crap, that would've been a perfect one-liner for the ending.

Re: Cool Trailers
I was kinda iffy on it to, until I got home and watched it full-screen 1080p. The vfx look waaay better when you see them on a proper screen, it's the Avatar/LOTR effect, there's so many tiny details that help sell the effect that you don't notice if you're just watching it in a small window.

I hope, so fucking hard, that GLaDOS saves us. For science.
Re: Cool Trailers
When does tit say 2 people per robot? I saw 2 pilots and 2 robots. Maybe they're next to eachother because they're not actually IN the mechs.

As long as the movie ends like this, that's all I care about.

This is what I gathered from it as well.

I don't think tit did say such a thing, so it's good. Tit's reputation is intact. 
I had heard it is two people per robot too, actually 
Re: Cool Trailers
There was actually a functional reason for this. I can't remember the reason given, but each mech has two pilots ho operate separate aspects of the machine.

del Toro stated that the two pilots are neurally linked so they move in sync. One controls the right side of the robot, one controls the left. I assume that because the robots are so massive, it's safer to split the control between two people.
EDIT: This one. He also calls the trailer "Howard's End" compared to what the movie actually is.

That doesn't make any sense.

Ah yes... the best plan for doing something that our brains do pretty well on their own (namely control 4 limbs at one time) is too make 2 people have to do it all together!! That'll work! And as we all know... 2 pairs of eyes are better than 1, especially when they are both in the same room with access to the exact same information as each other.
Now if you had a pair of eyes outside the frickin thing maybe that arguement could hold some weight... but what on earth could 2 pilots do that 1 pilot couldn't??
I'm losing faith in this movie fast.

Re: Cool Trailers
While I would prefer that they'd gone with a Star Trek type mission crew piloting the thing, I think the neural link think will be fine if this has the kind of tone that I think it will.
If this were tonally trying to be a hard sci-fi film like Prometheus I would agree with you it's a stupid choice, but I think this movie is going to be way more playful and less serious, much more of an anime vibe. I mean the whole thing is inherently ridiculous, if you want to go down that route I'd say in what universe is the most practical way to fight giant monsters the manufacturing of ginormous bi-pedal robots, instead of you know, nuking them, or coming up with one of a million more efficient ways to accomplish the task.

Re: Cool Trailers
I'm okay with the two-pilot thing. You don't get a single person to captain a ship, or fly a rocket.

Re: Cool Trailers
It does seem like a live action anime, but without the teen angst or half naked teen girls (there was one show where the mech got more powerful as the two teens inside got aroused).
I write stories! With words!

There are co-pilots but it's not like one controls the left wing and one controls the right wing.
When Armstrong again looked outside, he saw that the computer's landing target was in a boulder-strewn area just north and east of a 300 metres (980 ft) diameter crater (later determined to be "West crater", named for its location in the western part of the originally planned landing ellipse). Armstrong took semi-automatic control[18] and, with Aldrin calling out altitude and velocity data, landed at 20:17 UTC on July 20 with about 25 seconds of fuel left.[19]
One controls the heavy thing and the other one reads stuff out so the pilot can focus on not killing everyone on board. If the mechs operate in a similar way, where one guy controls the movement and the other gets all radar/sensor data and controls the weapons then I'm cool with it.

Steampunk 2077. Game coming from the makers of The Witcher.
Great trailer, great choice of music.
The track is "Bullet" by Archive, from the album "Controlling Crowds". You should check them out.

Re: Cool Trailers
Ricky Elliot got me hooked on the concept, so I made a trailer for "Looper", only in Black and White. The film lends itself perfectly to the style, wouldn't you agree?
