The Hangover Part 2 Appreciation (MC: 44, RT: 35%)

[takethistoyourgrave]

Trailer makes it look exactly like the first movie in a new location.

Having said that, totally sold. The first movie was funny as fuck.

Not long after The Hangover Part II began production, rumors surfaced that Mel Gibson would be making a brief appearance in the film as a tattoo artist. The first Hangover had set a precedent for controversial celebrity cameos by working Mike Tyson into the storyline and Gibson’s involvement with the sequel implied that not only were the filmmakers aware of the troubled actor’s reputation – they were probably intending to capitalize on it.

However, as Gibson’s bad press reached a fever pitch, director Todd Phillips ultimately decided to replace him with a more affable star. Liam Neeson agreed to take over the role and was quickly dispatched to the set for a quick one day shoot. Evidently, the infamous tattoo parlor scene in The Hangover Part II has since undergone yet another alteration.

During the editing process, Phillips decided to cut the scene that immediately followed Neeson’s cameo – which meant that certain plot points that were relayed in that scene now had to be divulged in the tattoo parlor instead. Unfortunately, Neeson’s commitment to Wrath of the Titans made him unavailable for any additional shooting.

According to Variety, Phillips asked filmmaker Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook, Gotti: Three Generations) to step in and help reshoot that segment of the movie. In addition to his work behind the camera, Cassavetes has appeared in numerous films and television shows including Face/Off, Entourage, and Quantum Leap.

Of course, Cassavetes isn’t anywhere near as recognizable to a general audience as Neeson – which certainly changes the nature of the cameo. I suppose there’s still a possible appearance by Bill Clinton to look forward to, though.

For me, Tyson’s cameo worked because he was simply playing himself – and that was essentially the entire joke. Dropping other celebrities into The Hangover Part II just for the sake of having them there didn’t seem like it would be as effective. I’m not saying Neeson wouldn’t have been great in the film, but I think the audience is far less likely to be taken out of the story when Cassavetes appears on screen.

In my opinion, the film has more substantial hurdles to overcome – namely that first full-length trailer which strongly suggested that The Hangover Part II will essentially mimic the original film beat for beat. I realize that it’s probably impossible to showcase the majority of the film’s raunchy humor, but I really was hoping for something more creative plot-wise. Still, it seems that most are ready to forgive the blatant cut & paste job as long as the film delivers plenty of laughs.

I loved the original film, so I’m going to force myself to remain optimistic that they’re simply holding back on all of the surprises that The Hangover Part II has in store for us. We’ll find out if that’s the case when the film hits theaters on May 26th.

Wrath of the Titans?


FUCK

Wrath of the Titans?


FUCK

Yep

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrath_of_the_Titans

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.
Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus's godly son, Ares (Édgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus's remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's demigod son, Agenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.[1]

[Nitsuki]

Are you serious? No one has posted here about the movie yet?

That movie was fucking awesome and definitely better than the first.

[Jonny]

What? The first one was way better, this was the first but in Bangkok.

Caught a private midnight showing last night. It was basically a bankok version of the first. Not quite as good as the first but it was still definitely hilarious and had a ton of really great moments...still worth a watch. I'll actually probably see it again.

[zoobernut]

I agree the same exact premise as the first one but still well done and hilarious. I am on the fence on which one I like better, this was definitely a winner specially for a sequel. So many funny moments.

[Kurokikaze]

Bought tickets for Saturday. Cannot wait.

[Blarg]

how badly does the monkey ruin it? Monkeys in comedies ruin everything so I don't like the fact that they added a monkey to this movie

[Thorin]

I thought the monkey was pretty badass and was involved in some lol moments

At the very least this one is probably just as good as the first

I enjoyed Hangover II, but I didn't think it was nearly as good as Hangover I. I didn't have many actual laugh out loud moments, unlike the first movie. The only part I can actually remember laughing out loud was laughing at chang's (chow)'s

Spoiler: show

[malleth]

Not really planning on seeing this unless I'm forced to. I found the first one to be rather meh, so I have no hopes of this one doing any better for me.

[Kyo]

Thanks for that great incite. Going with my bro's tonight, few other friends said they loved it, super excited to see it.

[Cream Soda]

I'll download it when a decent quality version hits.

For this "Era", hangover I was great, but in general, movies have been worse off as compared to their nineties counterparts, imo.
