Ladies and gentlemen, the first must-see film of 2011.

Blyss · « **Reply #1 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 15:34 »

Sidenote: Did Daniel Craig stab that guy in the junk?

That's pretty much what I was thinking...

Could they come up with a worse title?

Inlander · « **Reply #3 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 16:46 »

Naw, I like the title. It's Cowboys vs. Aliens. You tell the people what you're going to give them and then you give it to them. The worst thing a film like this can do is get ideas above its station. As long as it's just ridiculous and flashy and doesn't try to be anything more than an hour and a half of fun everything's going to be fine!

It's high concept. It's essentially Snakes on a Plane for 2010.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #5 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 16:57 »

I will see this movie.

Only it's directed by Jon Favreau, who has a pretty good touch for keeping things light and entertaining.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #7 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 17:10 »

Harrison Ford alone will make this entertaining. From the trailer it sort of looks like he's phoning it in.

Buttfranklin · « **Reply #8 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 18:17 »

I had my fill of aliens and Harrison Ford together w/ the Crystal Skull.

jimbunny · « **Reply #9 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 07:36 »

See, it's Cowboys and Aliens, not Cowboys Vs. Aliens. So, yeah. Actually a bad title.

Not if you realize that they're playing off of "Cowboys and Indians".

Not a fan of Speilburg, hate Ron Howard (with a passion), over produced bullshit of gimmicky titles. Going to skip this one.

JD · « **Reply #24 on:** 20 Nov 2010, 17:14 »

I don't understand how you can dislike Spielberg's films.

Jimor · « **Reply #25 on:** 20 Nov 2010, 17:18 »

It's the only way to maintain Indie Cred.

Jimor · « **Reply #26 on:** 20 Nov 2010, 17:20 »

At the expense of Indy Cred, however.

i will probably not see this movie, mostly based on how stupid the title is.

That's a terrible reason to not see a film.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #31 on:** 25 Nov 2010, 10:39 »

The Empire Strikes Back is a pretty dumb name for a film too, when you think about it.

The Beatles is a fucking horrendous name for a band. Puns? Who the fuck OK'd that piece of shit!?

ummmkay · « **Reply #35 on:** 28 Nov 2010, 18:40 »

okay, okay, i will add to my previous statement that i don't really like movies of that sort anyway and the fact that the title is idiotic just seals the deal for me. also i have never seen die hard. DON'T HATE ME

Jimor · « **Reply #36 on:** 28 Nov 2010, 20:43 »

Well, I'm not going to say you're not allowed to dislike the title, but the movie literally exists because of it, so in the marketing sense, it's the kind of pure genius that strikes once or twice a generation.

[Cowboys and Indians. Cowboys and Indians. Cowboys and Indians. Cowboys and Indians. Cowboys and Indians... Cowboys and Aliens? Cowboys and ALIENS!!! Holy Fuck! I just created a license to print money!]

And reading the Production History, that's exactly what the guy set out to do.

"Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzmann say one of the biggest challenges was convincing Harrison Ford he could wear a hat that wouldn't immediately remind everyone of Indiana Jones."

Lies, damned lies.

first rule of serious filmmaking:

don't call your movie "Cowboys & Aliens"

tHEfOOL · « **Reply #42 on:** 02 Dec 2010, 15:25 »

second rule of film making: if you think there are enough lasers in you science fiction film, add more lasers
