Well, it's in my netflix que now...

Still, I could live without ever watching Gangs of New York, The Departed, or Shutter Island again.

The Aviator is easily one of his better films and one of the best films of last decade.

I only saw shots that would be make for great depth. I didn't see any obvious pop-out moments. I think you're imagining things so you can whinge.

Awful, awful trailer. This doesn't sell the movie to Scorsese cinema buffs or sell it to your mainstream family. This will be a pretty big bomb. Hopefully it's entertaining, but after the disappointment of Shutter Island I have little confidence in Hugo.

This looks like an amazing film that the idiot marketing department are doing their best to sabotage.
Seemed like a Gilliam/Scorsese hybrid, and the lead actor seems very good.
The bits of the film that you could see through the horrible editorialising have me hyped as hell.

I hadn't heard about the film being retitled, so when I saw this thread I had to laugh. This going from 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret' to 'Hugo Cabret' to 'Hugo' is such a tremendous downgrade. As bad as 'John Carter' losing 'of Mars'. This is a movie. It's not iPod or Twitter or Bing. The title doesn't have to be snappy. Telling the audience more is a good thing, especially when the title has a lot of flavour to it.
Really, the marketing department behind this must be enormous fucking tools.

Yeah, the trailer screams that it was put together by a neanderthal

Pretty badly put together trailer but it looks like it got lots of potential. But 30 second to Mars... Really? It's hard to find a more disgusting band than that.

Considering the amount of lame cliches in the movie.... DOUBT it's just the marketing team.

At the very least they seem to be doing their best to mislead about the tone.
Scorsese seems to be going for surreality and a sense of wonder, which aren't prevalent in big family entertainments these days.

july 14th has not been a good day for movie trailers.

Yeah, seriously I know you like to promote your site Plainview (and I also know it has trouble with youtube embeds, as you've explained), but whenever looking for an embed of a just released trailer, I want you to follow these instructions.

1. Youtube.com
2. Search Options: Sort By > Upload Date / Upload Date > Today
3. Link said youtube embed in thread for ease of everybody.

99% of the time it will have just been uploaded an hour prior to most film sites discovering it.

there are so many obvious 3d shots in the there. the gimmick is going to be depth instead of having everything come towards you like the ''you're invited to a 3d adventure'' text thirty seconds in.

The point I'm making is highlighting that you called it a gimmick.

The point, motivation and thing to try to achieve in 3D is depth, as the alternative of things popping out at you is what previously earned the tech its gimmick title.

Its like saying the gimmick of Lawrence of Arabia is epic scope, due to its theatrical widescreen presentation.

You're misusing the word gimmick.

I do that almost every single time, but I refreshed for 20 minutes and nothing came up. In the meantime I make it myself. Someone always eventually posts a YouTube link anyway.

By the way, I have 80+ High-Resolution screencaps coming, this movie looks GORGEOUS. Every goddamn shot.

This looks like something for kids. Where is my Scorsese that has over 400 swear words in it? Where's my Joe Pesci?




EDIT: I might watch it though for Chloe

What I find most troubling is how stiff the physical comedy seems. Like when Cohen slides into the cake. He slides, says "Whoa," and sort of slowly falls into the cake. That's not funny. He needs to flail around or something. Physical comedy has to be physical.

Drinking game: Every time someone reaches toward the camera, drink.

Damn this looks awful, and that was a mess of a trailer.

The story didn't look terribly interesting but i am interested in see Scorsese's style in 3D which is odd since I don't normally care for 3D.

Looks like a great kids movie, but wow, fuck who ever forced that 30 seconds to mars song onto that trailer.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that this is one of those films that's much better than its crummy trailer lets on.

The actual footage looked good, that's what's important.

Absolutely stunning.

Only thing that caught my attention in the trailer though. Why that shit music and bad font?

Ugh, why do people care?

It has NOTHING to do with the actual film and everything to do with Paramount trying to appeal to the broadest audience possible, like every other studio film. The crow dinner will be epic come November 23rd.

Because a trailer is meant to market and generate hype for a film?
