Astro Boy Teaser Lands

Moviefone has dropped the teaser trailer for the October 23, 2009 film adaptation of the anime classic Astro Boy. The film stars the voices of Nicholas Cage and some other rubes.
This is sure to be as big a disappointment and bastardization of many people's childhoods as Speed Racer was, though it's saving grace may be that it's not helmed by the Douchekowski Brothers. Sorry, siblings.
My guess, it'll be some smoothly animated CGI kids/family flick that is devoid of artistic linework, flaw, innocence, humor, and good story telling and will instead be a bunch of shiny, bobbleheaded CGI children drafted into some ridiculous plot with a lot of forced jokes that fail.
Oh, and it's in 3-D. Another shitty film trend replacing the far superior traditional animation.
See ya opening night.

Con Air 2: Escape From The Rock or "Assault On Amos & Andrew"

Secret agent guinea pigs and Ghost Rider 2 got ya hatin' on The Cage? Kick-Ass and Astro Boy not enough to whet your appetite? Well try this on for size:



Oh yeah. A movie so extreme, they turned the actors name into a pun for the tagline. Now that's star power. /film has revealed this poster for the upcoming John Carpenter project Riot starring Nicholas "You Can't" Cage "Me." The plot involves "a troubled youth who is sent to the Scared Straight crime-prevention program. But when a riot breaks out and the prisoners take him hostage, a lifer (played by Nicolas Cage) is forced to help the young man out."

Do I even need to continue. No.
