Yeah, clearly that means the people on here who loved it have an agenda as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I know I'm on a conspiracy to annoy BK007. BTW, who's BK007? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappBrannigan Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't get the hype. It's no better or worse than any B-grade sci-fi movie. Must be because it's an acclaimed Korean director because there is really nothing special about this movie. No offense (you'll probably take offense anyway), but given your opinions on the Transformers movies, I don't think this movie is marketed for you and the movies you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Why would anyone who loves the Transformers franchise fling shit on Snowpiercer? It's not like this movie's going to outperform T4 at the box office, like… obviously! It just needs to have a decent showing for its limited release, and it's already made double it's budget from OS returns. Like, TF4 will beat it at the U.S. B.O. of course. It may not beat it on RT, but whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The release in LA is weird, and just makes no sense. Snowpiercer is not releasing in the Arclight or the Landmark, and is instead in Sundance Sunset and CGV Cinemas. I get why, considering that one is in Koreatown but Arclight or Landmark would have been much better for the general audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The choice of theaters and how many screens pretty much screams that Radius-TWC did not get the choice indie theaters and treatment a TWC release would command. Even in NYC where it does land the Angelica it gets once screen while the TWC released Begin Again gets three.

Lordmandeep Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) The concept of this film is great but what a stupid ending. It was like some emo 16 year kid made it up. Edited June 26, 2014 by Lordmandeep 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappBrannigan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Is there a site that lists what cities this is being released in? I'm curious just how limited this release is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I really loved the third act - it may have been a wee bit predictable, but damn if it wasn't well-executed. And there was some catharsis there, for all the characters. I loved the acting as well. I didn't really see anything "emo" about it, other than finally discovering the reasons behind Curtis' hesitation to lead, his complicated relationship with Edgar and Gilliam…. and his penchant for cannibalism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, it's expanding to Ontario on the 2nd. I usually go to the Edwards in Ontario for IMAX shows. Never been to the AMC Ontario Mills, even though its like right across the street from Edwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The theater it's going to play at in San Rafael is a nice old-timey style non-profit; it's similar to the one I used to go to in Brookline (Coolidge Corner). Didn't realize San Rafael had a theater like that too! Also, YAY SAN RAFAEL'S GETTING IT!! It's so much closer than the Metreon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I want to see this do well partly because its awesome, partly because I have an affinity with Korea and partly because it would be the most awesome thing in Human history if he was to get big enough that Marvel maybe considered giving him the ball for one of their upcoming mid-ranged superheroes. I would sacrifice a thousand virgins to see Bong do a comic book superhero movie (I know Snowpiercer is a comic book movie too but still...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Bong said he was offered scripts for big studio movies after The Host and some were great but he had no interest in directing someone else's main idea and property - that he likes to develop his own and that he's a control freak and he likes it that way. He's also said Snowpiercer will probably be the biggest film in terms of budget he'll ever do. Optimally he's said he wants to make a movie every 2 years for the rest of his life - so that's something to look forward to.

Hanamichi Sakuragi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I really need to get around to watching this. Hopefully I'll have seen it by the end of the coming week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
