I'm not arguing if its annoying or not, thats subjective. It gained traction right after Inception, nobody seemed to copy TF trailers.
Bingo.

Avengers just keeps chugging along

Also, it's important to note that when it gets copied it often isn't a horn. Prometheus is using a deep note on a cello or a bass. A lot of other movies use a sort of electronic buzz.

I agree. The thing to note is a successive acceleration of a repetitive sound effect leading to a calm climax. What the sound is is interchangeable

i would bet most people don't even realize (or care) who is actually responsible for the movie threads. as long as they have a place to shit on whatever is popular, they're good.

I second this.
One guy was suggesting that the movie studio exec should be taken out to the parking lot and be shot as an example to others .. really really awkward and messed up.

Colin Farrell starred in In Bruges, Miami Vice and New World. Some of the most awesome films last decade.
His career may not be successful but some of his films were fucking great. Also he worked with Woody Allen and Peter Weir in not so great films but at least it was them. I think he has a pretty interesting career when he avoids the blockbusters.
If Taylor Kitsch is a decent actor (I haven't seen evidence though and I love FNL and Riggins) he could maybe go the same way picking interesting directors to work with rather than just go the flopped up blockbuster route.
I don't know though, oh well can't wait to buy the John Carter bluray (and cringe in embarrassment due to the cover)
Twice!

LOL you are double posting info for each thread.
Then it started in 79 with the Alien trailer.

I've always felt that Kitsch had a b-movie actor face. When I saw the trailer for John Carter, I actually felt that he made the movie look cheap. I'm not blaming him solely for that disaster, but I'm not surprised that things haven't gone well for him.
If anyone wants to take a leap from TV to movies, I'd think they'd try to follow in the footsteps of DiCaprio. Of course, they'll need to know how to act, but aligning themselves with reputable directors will do wonders -- Cameron, Spielberg, Scorsese for DiCaprio.

Looking back at the Avengers. I'd probably like it more than the Nolan Batman films if:
A) They cut out a good half hour from the movie
B) Got rid of Hawkeye and Scarlett Johannson
C) Coulson's death wasn't important, because he isn't anyways
D) They got a better villain
Otherwise it was pretty damn enjoyable and knew what it was doing.

The only human beings on this planet that want to spend money on Battleship are those in a financial position to throw entire bills out their car window at their leisure.
There aren't too many of those people around right now.

Iron Man (and Iron Man 2) have the worst scores of the Marvel canon. Incredible Hulk's was also forgettable. However, Thor's, CA's, and The Avengers' scores have been pretty good.
There were definetaly a stretch of scenes that should have been cut from the movie (
right before the attack on the Helicarrier

Works for me. Now I feel like watching the movie
Total after 4th foreign weekend:
DH2: $792m
TA: $723m
Total after 3rd domestic weekend
DH2: $319m
TA: $457m
Overall total:
DH2: $1,111m
TA: $1,180m
Deathly Hallows 2 actually extends its foreign lead over The Avengers this weekend (up to $69m from $61m). Japan's still missing for TA, though. EDIT: Reason is DH2 opened in China on its 4th weekend.
Nevertheless, domestic more than made up to it and TA is now worldwide $69m ahead up from $38m from last weekend.

"some of the best members on the team" doesn't sound so impressive when you realize they're dead last in this group in terms of interest. And the pacing of the film crawled so...damn...slowly once they were on screen together. Would have just preferred more Banner and Stark tbh.

Fuck Iron Man 3, they should just make a Stark/Banner buddy comedy. All the Avengers records would be shattered.

Tim Riggins needs to pick better movies or just stick to TV.
