Not that I'm all that interested in the film to begin with, but that is one revolting poster.

From the director of The day after tomorrow...
That movie sucked, why would someone try to use it as prestige.
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
I didn't think it was that revolting. And I still kinda want to see it.

So you were the one in the focus group who voted for the "moist mammoth lips" poster! Posted by GForce (Member # 9584) on :
I don't get it. What's so revolting? It's a mammoth. And a caveman. You don't like hair?
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
I didn't say it was great. I just didn't think it was revolting. Mind you, my revolt-o-metre is permanently broken and it takes a heck of a lot more than mammoth lips to gross me out.

I'm particularly impressed with the level of technology required to make that spear - I didn't realize they had it in 10000 BC.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
How is that at all revolting? It's... a mammoth... seen from below... that's all.
Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :
At first, I forgot the spear was so... ornate. But now, looking at it again, I seem to think that maybe, archealogically, such things weren't in existence 10,000 B.C.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
Well, really. That's either some very nicely carved rock or a grayish metal. The latter is a foolish delusion (unless you count the Goa'uld...). The rock idea... well, you decide.
That website, BTW, is also seriously delusional. Honestly, because people in the Stone Age had spoons, they also had table manners? Um, no. Silly people. Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
If I'd seen that poster on its own, it never even would have occurred to me that someone might find it disgusting. Silly, with the spear and the director's two stink-bomb claims to fame? Yes. Disgusting? No.
Posted by Orincoro (Member # 8854) on :
Well the irony is that the two stinkbombs that probably made the director a ton of money have not made his name famous enough to plaster onto a big budget poster instead of "The director of."
That's almost like saying: "the creators of," because someone from a famous project is attached as an executive producer to your crappy movie.
Gotta love that tagline though: "It takes a hero to change the world." Sounds like another inane Dick Fontaine invention: just put the words hero, world, and change in a sentence and make it sound important.

I'm looking forward to the movie. I think it sounds like fun.

I hope you've contracted all the actors for at least two sequels, 'cause I smell a hit.
Personally, I'm still waiting for Roland Emmerich, Michael Bay, and Jerry Bruckheimer to team up on a movie. It'll be the biggest, stupidest, explodingest summer blockbuster ever.

Hardly a caveman flick when the hero is "on his quest to lead an army...as he unearths a lost civilization and attempts to rescue the woman he loves...from an evil warlord."
Closer to adventures in Hyperborea after the fall of Atlantis.

I would tend to agree.
I mean, toddlers can use spoons. They can use them to throw their food at you if they don't like it.
(Besides which the spoons were more likely used for cooking than eating. Like in the middle ages.)

:-) And I'd disagree. While I don't suppose that their table manners would be anything we would recognize as table manners, I think they probably did have behaviors that would be appropriate while eating and other behaviors that would be inappropriate.
Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :
... of course, since they aren't our manners, they obviously don't count, and are simply horrid abberations, hasn't that been the rule for millenia?
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
It's a rather large leap of faith to make - the presence of spoons means, most literally, that someone was using a piece of rock with a flattened and broadened end for some purpose. It really doesn't mean that people were eating off them or using them for cooking - those are what we assume happened based on analogy (and tradition).
For all we know, those "spoons" were really a way of communicating with the aliens... or for warding off zombies.

The spoons were necessary for their ancient science magic of alchemy. That's how he got such an ornate spear. And they made a typo, the main character's not fighting an evil warlord, but an evil warlock.

But...But...I enjoyed Independence Day Posted by bluenessuno (Member # 5535) on :
It's the intimidation p.o.v. "We're so small, how can we win?" Example: Lucas's opening seen in Star Wars: A New Hope that Emmerich used in Independence Day.

Those are awfully similar. Maybe they borrowed?
