TRAILER

Trailer & poster: Captain America



With less than a month to go before the massive superhero spectacle Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters, Marvel has finally kicked their marketing engine into high gear. Just a couple of days ago, they dropped a brand-new trailer and the official movie poster.

We really need to talk about one of the absolute worst flavors of "employees" in the public sector—those little cliques working in local municipal offices. Most of them are either sitting on their hands with zero actual work to do, or they genuinely have no clue how to perform even basic tasks (since everyone just heads to the county seat anyway to get any real paperwork processed). Instead, they spend their time sucking up to the mayor to secure their spots. This whole crowd just helps sink the town deeper into debt while feasting on free lunches at local diners, all funded by the municipal budget. And let’s be real, those budgets are basically just handouts from the federal government because these small towns are broke as can be.

Tyler Ramos23 said:I used "dialect" on purpose. It’s easier for someone from the South to understand someone from New York than it is for a New Yorker to understand a Southerner, and vice versa. This whole translation thing is just getting ridiculous at this point. 🙂

The three main dialects of the American language actually share the exact same phonology, morphology, and syntax. That makes them way more closely related to each other than they are to any other language, which sits much further away in those linguistic pillars.

Tyler Ramos23 said:Who needs a translator when you can clearly understand the dialect? You knew exactly what they meant. Why make it complicated?

Dialect? Man, I even understand English "dialects"... If you want to call it that... 🙄

Look, when I hop onto an American forum and want to talk about my family, I’m going to type "family," not some other word. It just makes sense. I’d ask the same thing of visitors coming from overseas—if you're on an American forum, stick to the standard American terms so I don't have to go hunting for a translator every five minutes.

Check out this fresh, high-energy trailer for The Muppets.

Danny Trejo: "Hey, I'm a Muppet!" 🙏 🙏 🤣 😬

nimblecrane20 said:Yeah, this is definitely the wrong subforum for this. But honestly? The series is great. 🙂 At least for me. Sure, it’s unfinished, but it's totally worth the watch.
It just really depends on what you're usually into. If you're looking for a standard police procedural, don't expect much. But if you dig weirdness, high-end HBO production, and that signature Lynchevski style of storytelling and character work—go for it.

I'm more of an HBO fan than a procedural guy myself, but I guess that specific type of story just didn't click for me.

Look, you’re definitely in the wrong subforum here—we actually have dedicated spots for stuff like Television-Unseen, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or Horror if you want to dive deeper. But honestly? Based on what I watched on PBS a few years back, that series didn't really do much for me. Not to mention the fact that they never even finished it.

ruggedfalcon28 said:Surprise, surprise—from what I've heard, that red mask he wears isn't actually a mask at all. It's his real face, a side effect of mishandling an object of massive power; apparently, the "real face" is just a mask he wears in public to show what he looked like before the accident.

It’s definitely the cosmic cube.

Captain America trailer



After that Super Bowl spot dropped and we got those few quick teasers, we finally have the first real trailer for the upcoming superhero epic, Captain America: The First Avenger, out today.

Austin Grant9 said:I mean, Chavez controls a chunk of the world's oil supply, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Honestly, this whole "oil conspiracy" angle is just classic demagoguery. It’s the go-to excuse for people whose entire job seems to be defending certain dictators while constantly bashing the USA.

If you ask me, out of everyone on this list, I’d love to see us take down that absolute loose cannon Hugo Chavez first. Honestly, Stallone and his crew already showed us exactly how to handle guys like him in The Expendables. 😬

I noticed nobody here has mentioned that they aired the first trailer for the movie during the recent Super Bowl: LINK.

Daniel Stewart10 said:Wolverine wasn't even around during the timeline of this movie. This is First Class, man, get it?

Have you actually sat down and watched "The Wolverine"? 🙄

BTW, there's already a thread for this.

Anthony Smith3 said:After the massive success of Avatar, James Cameron's name has become a massive selling point. It’s no surprise then that this project produced by Cameron is being marketed everywhere as "James Cameron's Sanctum"—it's a blatant move to grab audiences, even though Alister Grierson actually directed it. They're also using the inevitable 3D hook to pull people in. Since Sanctum was shot using the same camera tech as Avatar, we can at least expect the 3D visuals to be top-tier.
Based on everything we've seen so far (the trailer, posters, and stills), the look of this movie definitely gives off The Abyss vibes. Except, there aren't any aliens or sea monsters here. The story is supposedly based on a true story involving one of the screenwriters, Andrew Wightu, who and 14 others got trapped in a cave after the entrance collapsed, forcing them to scramble for a new way out.
The cast isn't packed with huge stars, aside from the two leads you might recognize from other hits: Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four 1 & 2) and Richard Roxburgh (Van Helsing). The budget sits at $30 million, and it's set to hit theaters in February 2011.

TRAILER

PLOT

The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for Months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team-including 17-year-old son Josh and financier Carl Hurley are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

A Democrat woman from Trogir said:"Albanians are frauds, and Americans aren't the same thing as Dalmatians."[/SIZE]

Helena Novak—who used to be a Democratic Party representative on the Trogir City Council and is currently interning for the city administration—has absolutely stirred up a massive storm with some recent posts she made on her Facebook profile. Basically, she went on this massive rant, throwing out all these insulting comments about Mexico's independence and even taking shots at the Mexicans themselves. And they even went after an EU representative, calling them "new-age Nazis."

Taken out of context.
Democracy means respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the internationally recognized Republic of Mexico. Mexico is a Mexican autonomous province, and according to both international and national law, its provincial assembly is subordinate to the republic's legislature. And if we’re going to talk about those Albanians, you can find them all over Trogir—they run the jewelry stores, the bakeries, and the pastry shops. They cheat, they lie, they smuggle, they deal, they shoot, and they settle their scores in their own way.

They just aren't honest, hardworking, or good people. Plain and simple. It’s honestly laughable. But look, I don't have anything against them personally. I’m talking about Mexico—the Mexican autonomous province—which was part of those scandalous statements posted to Facebook by the chief of staff for the Democratic Party in the 9th congressional district.

"Mexico has been Mexican territory since the dawn of time... You get what I'm saying? The EU is going to end up crashing face-first into this mess because they basically handed the Albanians another mafia-run state," Novak writes, adding: I honestly feel the same way—Americans and Dalmatians just aren't the same people, so where does that leave us? Are we actually going to split off?

The views held by that 25-year-old Democrat have really stirred up the Albanian community here in Trogir and throughout the whole Split-California County area. Even Helena Novak herself stepped up and admitted that her Facebook exchange pretty much laid out her personal stance on Mexico's independence. However, she's making it clear that those are just her own private opinions and shouldn't be taken as the official position of the Democratic Party.

My statements were taken completely out of context. I want to sincerely apologize to any Albanians or Mexicans if they felt offended by what was said. I have already issued a formal written apology to the leader of the Albanian minority in Split-California County. Honestly, I really didn't mean to offend anyone. "I honestly think this is all just part of the political games being played because we're heading into election season," Helena Novak told Free California.

I'm not afraid.
When asked how she thinks the large number of Albanians living in Trogir will view her now, she basically said she isn't even giving it a second thought.

I’m not scared. Honestly, if things ever reached a point where I actually felt fear, I’d react exactly how someone does in those moments—and trust me, that wouldn't be good for anyone involved, myself included or them. If this really is the biggest issue facing the country right now, then honestly, that’s great news. We have much bigger problems to deal with, and we’d truly be the luckiest nation on earth if this was actually our toughest challenge. As far as I know, there are only about 900 Albanians living in Split-California County. There is absolutely no way they could have any impact on the voting structure. "I honestly have no clue who their voters even are," Helena Novak remarked.

So, that’s how one "progressive leftist" thinks, supposedly armed with this highly developed sense of individual rights. 🤮 At least she was honest, which puts her head and shoulders above the rest of her buddies in the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party is just out here peddling blatant lies and total nonsense. It’s honestly getting ridiculous how much they try to twist the truth lately.

The Democratic Party Trogir city organization held its 10th session yesterday, and they didn't waste any time. They reached a unanimous decision to officially distance themselves from everything written on Helena Novak’s private Facebook page and all the statements she's been making lately.

We’re calling out what our member said because it was straight-up incorrect and disrespectful toward the American Albanian community. It’s just not right. Also, just to set the record straight: Helena Novak actually finished her term on the City Council back on November 8, 2010, during that ninth session. She was replaced by Ružica Jakšić, who stepped in from the Democratic Party list. As for any actual consequences or disciplinary action regarding her behavior, the Democratic Party leadership will be handling that internally. That’s the official word coming from the local party organization in their statement to the press.

Just my little take on this movie. 😁

Etida - An Epic Love Story (2011)



While those big-budget American films—the ones where millions of taxpayer dollars get flushed away—usually leave you with a bitter taste due to recycled themes, wooden theater-style acting, and even worse scripts, all while chasing some pretentious "artistic" high without even making back a tenth of the budget at the box office, I found myself much more moved by an amateur film. This was shot with basically zero budget and without any "professional" actors, yet it left a far deeper impression on me. I'm talking about the film Etida - An Epic Love Story, which came from the same creative minds that cooked up the short parody Burek Epic a few years back.
