Movie: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Anyone? LV?

I recall seeing the cover of the book and thinking it was funny. This isn't what I expected. I thought it would be a black comedy in the Austen formula not whatever that was.

Feels like they went the route of "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter" with this.

why won't LV comment on this?

[McParadigm]

Isn't there like a series of these out there? I remember an Android Kerenina, which legitimately made me laugh, but the joke concepts (as with Abraham Lincoln Vanpire Hunter) seem basically single-picture-meme funny.

The book is just Pride and Prejudice with about one sentence per page that adds zombies. Somehow these few lines still manage to be so horribly written that I was mostly only interested in the Pride and Prejudice parts.

The book was just ok. A movie? Its arriving 4 years late or more.

So am I. Trailer is way beyond what I expected. I'm sold.

Jesus Christ, what a smug, moronic video.

First of all, the initial reaser trailer that played in the US was more along the lines of that British one. Do they actually think a one-minute teaser is the only trailer Britain got? I guarantee there were more.

Secondly, the full trailer is about a bajillion times more interesting than the jokey teaser, and actually clarifies some or the levels of satire if you're paying attention.

And finally, they sure seem to be confident about what this movie's true tone and intention are despite the fact that they haven't fucking seen it yet. And they make all kinds of smug judgments sight unseen from the trailer.

God I hate shit like this. Fuck those people. Garbage like this is why film culture sucks right now.

mostly I just thought it was funny how different the trailers are and also how shitty they are, and also how boring these joke movies always turn out to be.

Everyone sees the same trailers these days anyway.

is it safe to say you thought Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was boring then?

[LoathedVermin72]

They even reduced an accomplished character actor like Charles Dance to just some guy from Game of Thrones. That's just solipsistic ignorance. Ugh. They have no idea what they're talking about, but they sure are confident that they know it all.

Thanks a lot for ruining my morning, Burt.

And Snakes on a Plane.

They're like Onion articles: The joke's in the headline. You don't need to read the article.

If by "thought it was boring," you mean "saw it and weren't 14 at the time," then yes.

Hey Ruddo, I'm about to watch this
