Doomsday
 
Does this seem like a big shitburger to anyone else?

It looks like apocalypse is a virus that takes ahold of people and turns them into PUNK ROCKERS AND METALHEADS which causes all the indie music fans to retreat to a safe haven where they can listen to their music in peace.

Honestly; if they're trying to establish credibility don't make the entire cast look like KISS groupies of the 20th century.

I think it looks more like they're trying to re-make Mad Max with a hot chick in place of Mel Gibson. And more explosions, less plot. And maybe some ham-fisted political commentary. Probably not worth seeing, in my opinion.

Buh?

I think my favorite part of the trailer is where they show the army or whatever amassing a convoy of tanks and helicopters, smashcut to head-Juggalo screaming about taking them all on, smashcut to a guy with a bat and another one with a chainsaw. I'm just going to pretend the movie is a three minute affair that ends with all the 'rebels' being gunned down and run over.

This is the part where I'd quote you saying Meet the Spartans was an ok movie, but I'm lazy right now.

Hey, according to Wikipedia, it has Malcolm McDowell as a mixture between King Lear and Kurtz from Heart of Darkness. Could be worth it for that alone.

Hey everyone has offdays. I don't even really remember what it is that I was trying to like about it, but I do remember Kat wanting to go see it and both of us not really laughing throughout the movie. I think I was just trying to make the best of a lousy date.

The movie seriously seems like Punk Rockers and Metalheads get exiled from Good and Nice Civilization for everyone's own protection. It's just flat out strange. I felt like making it Indie Vs Punk would be funny.

Right.

So the trailer came on while me and my roomate were watching TV, and I said something along the lines of how Kate Beckinsale was getting typecast into these waify action roles, until he started to argue that it wasn't Beckinsale but some unnamed lookalike. After checking Wikipedia, I found that it's actually Rhona Mitra, who's signed on to do the next Underworld movie. Am I allowed to claim any amount of rightness in my statement?

I got the exact same vibe. Kinda "Let's remake a Mad Max movie, only cross it with something like Aeon Flux! That will be awesome!"

And then the whole world suffers from thier sin.

Well the "Milia Jovovich fighting against multicolored backgrounds" genre of movie I hear is doing really badly so they gotta spruce it up somehow. Kate Beckinsale was her stand-in for a while and hey now we got this Rhona Mitra. She's even got a crazy-ass name! It all makes sense.

Well I could have picked Classical Listeners or something but it doesn't roll off the tongue, and I wanted to squeeze a bit more out of the Metalhead Army joke. No need to get all butthurt cause it's your genre or anything.
