I wish Raven will be in this the Justice League movie even though she was rejected by them so it is unlikely. I live in hope, maybe a Titans movie if the Justice League one is successful.

I have no idea what Entourage is, nor do I have any clue about why Bob is so at a loss for words. :/
In regards to the movie, it looks and sounds intriguing enough to a look, but I'm not into the whole "romantic comedy" thing, even if it does blend genres like this.

I was pretty skeptical going in to this movie, but Warm Bodies actually works really well. It helps that I'm always a fan of star-crossed lovers scenarios anyway, but for once they provided a compelling solution to the following problem: 'you have two Hollywood-attractive young people who are both single in a room together for an extended period of time. Why aren't they boning?' Well, what if one of them is both a bumbling nerd and a zombie, and the other one's a scared zombie hunter?
The actors actually have to act, all the principals have multi-faceted personalities and there's some genuine pathos for the zombies even when they go out hunting for human brains. And, frankly, there's some great chemistry between R and Julie (yep, they're serious. For the literate out there, R's best friend is also named 'Marcus'). Really entertaining film with some pretty good zombie gags too. If you're going to get dragged to the movies by your girlfriend for Valentine's day, this is both a great date movie and fun to watch. Plus, you gettin' laid that night.

Completely different universe than the Dark Knight series (last I checked atleast)Sylveria said:
The problem with zombies is that while technically scary in any modern zombie apocalypse there's so many damned guns just laying around that any survivors can easily kill them. This is probably highlighted in Zombieland in that while a more or less serious movie they really made light of the zombie killing part.
So if a movie wants to make zombies scary again maybe they could try a different time period? The more primitive the survivors weapons, the more deadly the shambling hoardes becomes.

Isn't this basically ripping off the premise of Otto, or Up With Dead People, but less pornographic and more cutesy?
On the subject of Entourage, I don't particularly mind the concept of a movie. I found the few episodes of the show that I watched (on an airplane) fairly innocuous and if they're planning it as some sort of conclusion for the series then good for them. They did it that way with a show I actually liked, The Inbetweeners (at least until the sequel was announced half a year ago), and it's not like they're doing a serious adaptation of the Springtime for Hitler broadway show from The Producers (the one from the original script mind you, not the one they turned it into to make a flop out of it).
Captcha: never give up
That's... ominous.

I enjoyed the hell out of Entourage until the last season. The first few seasons were genuinely clever and, outside of Vince who was the most borin person on the planet, had likeable characters. Even Turtle who was genuinely useless had his moments of awesomeness.Lilani said:
Bob probably just dislikes the idea for the same reason he hates the American Pie movies regardless of what its subject matter is. The people in it or the people who enjoy it remind him of the people that picked on him when he was a kid and therefore anyone who likes this type of movie/show and everyone potrayed in that movie/show are obviously dickbag jerkoffs who deserve to burn in the fiery pits of hell.
At least, thats what I assume based off how he trashed on American Reuinion for bein about the people that picked on him in high school.
I had that same "why" reaction to the posters for Smurfs 2.
As for this, the trailer came off why too stockholm syndrome for me.

That picture made me laugh really, really hard, and I don't know why. (Dammit, I just made it worse.)TheSaw said:I'm quite surprised by this, I thought it was gonna be horrible and be the next Twilight.
Girlfriend wants to see it, so I'm not too fussed that I'm getting dragged to the cinema to see it, I might enjoy it with an open mind.
And dat intro.
OT: Wow, you might have convinced me to see the film. I figured it would be Twilight-style badness.
Huh, well that does sound surprisingly good, won't quite get past my overall tiredness of zombies though.
nd I know next to nothing about Entourage... but I am now very afraid.

Pretty sure that's part of the point of the "mosters as love interests" satire. Hell, you could point the exact same finger at Twilight and every bit of media that's ever had human/Vampire romance ever.canadamus_prime said:
The vampires getting memories from drinking blood wasn't invented by Underworld; the Vampire: the Masquerade RPG did it first, which was one of the reasons White Wolf Publishing sued the movie at the time. Although, my memory's hazy, but the memories thing might even go back as far as Anne Rice's books. Whom we can ultimately trace most modern "vampire as sympathetic protagonist" stories back to.
