Jan Reno turned down The Matrix to do this one, which has to be one of the worst decisions ever made

Hugo Weaving said thanks, though

Speaking of Weaving.

Cloud Atlas seemed so interesting.

Resident Evil: Extinction

I gotta say, as shite as this movie was, those 2000s horror films had some insanely good trailer editing. It definitely made the films look more suspenseful and scarier than they actually were.

Didn’t Will Smith also turn down the Matrix to do Wild Wild West?

Cloud Atlas was very interesting once you understood what was going on. A second viewing is really good.

It was jarring how it felt like it was two separate movies. Before the shrinking and afterwards.

Once he meets Kristoff Walz's character it takes a hard turn.

When I first saw it - I didn’t get the ending. Now I do.

1998 Godzilla. It was almost like they made separate teasers and trailers that were not in the movie.

this is a pretty good one. trailer made it look like another indpendence day type disaster film. what we got was Ferris Bueller with raptors.

Watchmen is one of my favorite superhero films of all time, and the trailer was even better IMHO. Jesus, seeing those panels from the comic beautifully brought to life, fricking amazing.

painfully underrated. i think the main problem is that people who were unfamliar with the source material came into it expecting something different. this was during the Tobey Maguire Spiderman and the Hugh Jackman Wolverine / X-Men era, and i guess peopel expected that, instead of a more cerebral, dark look at the genre.

it's so fricking good though.
