Focus groups are going to be the death knell of movies/TV... Just because a group of fucking hockey moms want Tatum to run a train on them we get this kind of nonsense.

Troy Stiffler

That's really close to the release date. Has this happend before? Other than a handful of movies back around 9/11?

Defiant1

His male stripper movie Magic Mike comes out at the end of June, the same time GIJ2 was to come out.

I've seen it happen this close where something would get bumped to a few weeks earlier or a few weeks later...but never a movie this "big" that got bumped to a whole new year. I remember when Shutter Island got bumped...but that was bascially from a October release to a February one...and even then I think the studio announced it a few months in advance.

Solid Snake

RocShemp

xage run out of multiple BD releases to hoard?

Why So Blu?

Just noticed the new entertainment weekly cover with Tatum promoting that bio-pic of his.

Solid Snake

Why So Blu?

Yeah the other one I could think of close to release would be Phone Booth which got delayed a few months due to the sniper. V for Vendetta too, due to the tube bombing. Those were about four months though.

Paramount and Hasbro can fuck themselves silly. Fuck you Paramount. Fuck you Hasbro. Fuck you all to hell, you fucking assfucks. Fucks, fucks, fucks! Bastard motherfucking companies can suck their shit out of their asses, spit it out, and shove that shit back into their mouths, those fucking fucks!

I hope this movie makes 20 million opening weekend whenever it opens. Piece of shit scumbags.

Boba Fett

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince getting delayed from Nov. 2008 to July 2009 is the most notable example I remember, but that was a decision by Warner to ensure a profitable 2009 blockbuster in light of The Dark Knight's massive success that year.

My Other Self

To be onest I've never liked Tatum. He has always bothered me.

That changed when I saw 21 Jump Street. He can do comedy very well -- he needs to stick to that. He's not a draw for me but he's good out of his normal element of love interest/action hero. Dude has some comedic chops but the last thing I want is more of him in this.

Anyone want to buy my GI Joe comic collection? I don't want to keep this bullshit in my house. PM me with a fair price between 1 dollar and 100 dollars and it's yours. Most of the comic books are in NM to excellent condition. I don't know how to price this shit - I just want it out of my face all thanks to Paramount/Hasbro spoiling my year. I can't believe I was looking forward to this film more than The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers.

When nobody PMs you, are you going to throw them in the trash, tears streaming down your face, like any proper, petulant 8-year-old child would do?

Also, what GI Joe fan doesn't have "Silent Interlude?"

I'm doing you one better, I'm so angry, I'm throwing out this DVD:



Damn you Robert Mitchum!!!

I liked the first movie, and looked forward to the original cast returning. Not just Tatum - all of them. I was disappointed to hear that the second movie didn't feature the same cast. If they are being worked back in, I'll be happy. Building up storylines including the Baroness, and then tossing them made no sense. I'll be the only one pleased, it seems, but we'll have to see what happens in the end.

RocShemp

*slams down a crumpled $1 bill on the table* I'll take it!

I'd like that change, actually. Keep them sidelined (Team Alpha had their moment in the first film) but keep them active elsewhere. Kind of like when Luther showed up at the end of Mission: impossible - Ghost Protocol. The character wasn't part of the main story but it was acknowledged that he was still around.

Honestly, I always felt each film in the series should focus on a different team. The only carryovers should be Snake Eyes, Duke, and, to a lesser extent, General Hawk.

Ash Ketchum

Universal's THE LOOTERS (1992), starring Ice T and Ice Cube, was pushed back from July to December and its title changed to TRESPASS after the April 1992 Rodney King riots in L.A.

Troy Stiffler

Yea. And I don't think anyone was really psyched to see those movies. Maybe V for Vendetta ... a little.
