Does the "BUILD THE PERFECT SANDWICH" Hellmann's banner ad count?

Posted by: the new transported man at August 11, 2011 11:35 AM

New Year's Eve...but only so I could bar all the doors from the outside and set the theater on fire.

Posted by: PissBoy at August 11, 2011 11:41 AM

None of the Above

Posted by: Abraxas at August 11, 2011 11:43 AM

Probably MI4. I liked the other three movies. Elysium does look interesting though and has a good cast, but first time I've ever heard of it. Harol and Kumar I may rent on DVD. The Tom Hanks one looks like it's going to be a tear jerker, but it has a pretty good cast so may see that one. Battleship sounds like Transformers, so probably won't see that. New Year's Eve, hell no! Won't see that piece of trash. Hunger Games looks somewhat interesting.

Posted by: ToddA at August 11, 2011 11:44 AM

I would say 'none of them' except I know what scene that is in the Hunger Games and I'm honestly looking forward to seeing Cinna on the big screen.

10 points to mr. transported man.

Posted by: twig at August 11, 2011 11:45 AM

I think I've already seen that scene out of "New Years Eve", and it was EVERY F*@#KING MINUTE OF EVERYDAY SINCE GLEE TOOK OVER THE POP CULTURE PUNIVERSE!

Otherwise, prolly "MI:IV" and/or "Harold and Kumar and Doogie", because damn.
Also the "Battleship" woman can see right through to my soul, I think.

Posted by: Trey Shacksit at August 11, 2011 11:45 AM

Even though I'm not too impressed with the casting there for Gale.

Posted by: twig at August 11, 2011 11:47 AM

This is a trick one, right? Like, with the last one we were supposed to get horribly excited about all of them, and we didn't, and you got mad, so with this one, the correct answer actually is "None of the above," right?

Erm ... noneoftheabove.

Posted by: Samantha at August 11, 2011 11:48 AM

I'm glad we have more to go on than just pictures, because out of those I'd say Battleship. I guess I'm just a sucker for chain guns.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at August 11, 2011 11:51 AM

THE NEW TRANSPORTED MAN WINS!

No one is topping that. Well done sir.

Posted by: logan at August 11, 2011 11:52 AM

Tom Hanks looks like Tom Arnold in that pic.

Knowing the truth, I still don't want to see the movie.

Posted by: Pete at August 11, 2011 12:05 PM

Harold and Kumar, only because that particularly shot indicates that NPH will be singing and dancing, which is ALWAYS FUN.

Posted by: Siege at August 11, 2011 12:18 PM

Jesus ... none.

And that fucking Hellman's ad is annoying.

Posted by: Slash at August 11, 2011 12:26 PM

1. MAN WALKS AWAY FROM FIRE. That equals cheesy awesomeness. I'm in.

2. Um...no. What?

3. Not interested in any of it. NPH, I love ya, but...yeah.

4. Tom Hanks in cheesy, family-man mode? Maybe. I'll wait to see a trailer.

5. FUCK NO. Is...is that Rhianna? WHY? Piece of shit movie.

6. This is mediocrity and sadness and pre-packaged pop in a photograph. NIVEA HATS. I mean...holy shit, are they serious with this?

7. No. But I've never read the books, otherwise I'm sure I'd be into it. But just from the image, no.

Posted by: figgy at August 11, 2011 12:32 PM

Is that Terence Howard?

Posted by: Jay at August 11, 2011 12:33 PM

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Posted by: superasente at August 11, 2011 12:50 PM

Definitely Harold and Kumar.
I'm a sucker for a white christmas/castle.

Posted by: Larold at August 11, 2011 12:52 PM

I'd say Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close but I don't know how in the hell they could possibly replicate the beauty and unique style of the book, so I'm very, very hesitant about seeing it.

I'll just say Hunger Games. Yep. Hunger Games. That sounds right.

Posted by: beckster at August 11, 2011 12:57 PM

Dear Tom Cruise:

I played Prototype. If you're going to try to look like Alex Mercer, you had better starting throwing commandos into helicopters, elbow dropping tanks from the tops of skyscrapers, and turn yourself into emo-Carnage.

Also, why does everyone in Hunger Games dress like it's Sunday worship time at the local Mormon church?

Posted by: D-Day at August 11, 2011 12:59 PM

Gah, that Rhianna one keeps making me angry. Girl, if you're going to get cast in a terrible movie because everyone's too chickenshit to say no to you, then at least make an effort to not have the "Wait, I'm in this movie?" face on all the damn time.

Posted by: figgy at August 11, 2011 1:00 PM

well, the one with Rihanna and a gatling gun of coz!

Bcoz dats how you make sure Sigourney Weaver's legacy will not be tarnished.

Fucking Hollywood execs and agents.

If she's not wafer thin (i.e. SALT, Colombiana), she's a singer (i.e. Ashanti in Resident Evil. facepalm).

Also, Rodriguez can only shoulder the burden so much. Will someone, new, who isn't ridiculous, step up for the lady action hero job already?

Posted by: haplo at August 11, 2011 1:16 PM

I absolutely refuse to see anything with Rianna in it (I don't care if I spelled her name wrong). She's a rumplefugbeast with no talent and the entertainment industry needs to stop shoving her STD-infected ass down our collective throats. The only shame is that Chris Brown didn't beat her mute.

To answer the question, MI4. I know he's crazy, but Tom Cruise is typically awesome in those movies.

Posted by: Kris at August 11, 2011 1:21 PM

"rumplefugbeast" is my new band

Posted by: krix at August 11, 2011 1:31 PM

Wow, Kris. Too much coffee today? Did Rihanna just break up with you?

But 400 Pajibas for "rumplefugbeast."

Posted by: John G. at August 11, 2011 1:51 PM

Elysium, easily.

Posted by: Joseph Finn at August 11, 2011 1:52 PM

Battleship, the shittiest movie never made for the SyFylus channel.

Battleship, the shittiest movie never premiered on the SyFylus channel.

Battleship, the shittiest movie ever made as a joke.

Battleship, are you fucking kidding me, did you SEE the trailer?

Posted by: lubeg at August 11, 2011 1:56 PM

Can someone explain to me what the hell is happening in the Elysium pic? I can't make it out, but it looks like a blurry, bald, deformed Matt Damon is running out of some bushes?

To answer Dustin's question, based on these images alone, I don't want to see any of them. But based on content alone, I cannot wait to see the Hunger Games.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at August 11, 2011 1:58 PM

None of the above. Which doesn't mean I wouldn't see any of them eventually, but based on the pictures above, a resounding "meh" and a hearty "bleah".

Posted by: MM at August 11, 2011 2:09 PM

None of them.

Posted by: FyreHaar at August 11, 2011 2:54 PM

I don't know anything about most of these movies, so I had to run off to IMDB.

That picture of Rihanna is ridiculous and in no way makes me want to see the film. Then I found out that Alexander Skarsgard is in it. In light of this new evidence, it will make it on to my Netflix Queue.

New Year's Eve has fucking Lea Michele in it. Fuck her. I've had her version of "Let Me Entertain You" (from that tablet commercial) in my head for TWO days now. I'm ready to light that little fucking ingenue on fire.

Posted by: Kala at August 11, 2011 2:59 PM

You didn't have to show a picture of Rihanna for me to know or/and decide that I'll never see Battleship, knowing that that ugly untalented whore will be in it is enough for me!

Posted by: Nancy at August 11, 2011 3:16 PM

Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close, only because the book was stunning and I'm curious.

Posted by: Alwyn at August 11, 2011 3:21 PM

Hmm...I might Netflix "Battleship" when it comes out...otherwise nothing's really roxxing my soxx.

Stuff like this reminds me why I don't go to the movies that much anymore.

Posted by: NateS1973 at August 11, 2011 3:29 PM

Tom Cruise IS the Unibomber.

Summer 2012.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 11, 2011 3:29 PM

Tom Cruise looks like a London hooligan after he's just firebombed the Tesco down the street. Not sure if that's true super-spy behavior

Posted by: ASterisk at August 11, 2011 3:51 PM

I choose "None of the Above," Dustin.

Posted by: The Wanderer at August 11, 2011 4:38 PM

The Tom Cruise poster would be more impressive if I didn't know it was actual size.

Posted by: Craig at August 11, 2011 5:15 PM

That's Tom Hanks?! Jeez, I thought it was Jack Nicholson.

Posted by: Salieri2 at August 11, 2011 7:41 PM

Wow with the Rihanna hate. Maybe it's just me, but I've seen nothing in her public persona that warrants such hate of her. Hate of her clothes, yes. Hate of the person, not so much.

Ahem.

Anyway.

I'll be seeing Battleship, thankyewverahmuch. Because of the SKAAAAAARSSGAAAARRRDDD.

Posted by: stardust at August 11, 2011 7:48 PM

Oh, not directed at you figgy. But you know that.

Posted by: stardust at August 11, 2011 7:49 PM

Based on many of the answers above, I'm really afraid that Dustin is going to yell at us again. I'm afraid.

/shivers

Posted by: Uriah Creep at August 11, 2011 10:11 PM

I know! But I don't hate her, I just hate the fact that she's in the movie. It just bugs me so much when musicians get into movies.

Posted by: figgy at August 11, 2011 11:15 PM

I thought that was Tom Arnold.

I'll reserve judgment on Rihanna. Will she fake masturbation on deck?

Posted by: Protoguy at August 12, 2011 1:48 AM

Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close. Not because of the picture though, but because I loved the book. Based on the pictures, I would't be likely to see any of those movies.

Posted by: Matthijs at August 12, 2011 4:26 AM

That New Year's Eve photo makes me NOT want to see the movie.

Posted by: snapnhiss at August 12, 2011 8:43 AM

Elysium

Posted by: asdff at August 12, 2011 9:50 AM

Ugh......I dont want to see ANYTHING that has Rihanna in it. These all look terrible except for Elysium and I can't wait to see Hunger Games for Cinna and Haymitch.

Posted by: appey25 at August 12, 2011 10:21 AM

I guess I was too distracted by the gun to consider the whole Rihanna angle. A bit hypocritical on my part considering my reaction to the MI:IV poster was "Tom Cruise action movie? No, thanks."

With that in mind...Harold and Kumar I guess? There's always a small chance NPH can save anything. I mean there's nothing in the Elysium picture to turn me off, but I'm not exactly sure what's happening there.

Also I guess even if you put it in the title, no one's going to be able to judge based on the pictures alone. How else to explain comments about the trailers and source material?

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at August 12, 2011 10:52 AM

Speaking of Cinna and musicians in movies, Lenny Kravitz! An even worse casting choice than Thor's bro.
