Kermode Uncut: Looking Forward

[LucasW180]

Prometheus is my must see

[robotpanda77]

What does circumcision have to do with movie reviews?

[CraigSips]

Drive is a better silent movie than the artist

[ThatIzzyGirl]

I'm also really looking forward to The Hunger Games in March and Skyfall in November.

[romanvanpersie]

See that Mr Potato Head on his mantelpiece? It's full of shower gel.. My mum got one for christmas. I can tell by the tag hanging from his hat.

[lordtufty]

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will definitely rock my socks off

[Joeyjoejoe1708]

I am totally excited of watching 50/50 with Joseph-Gordon Lewitt.

[bootscrapersean]

Am looking forward to Walter Salles's On The Road. Huge Kerouac fan, but I think it's in safe hands.

[ladsrus]

2012 looks insanely good for films. Cannot wait to see Tom Hardy's bane (i.e. Charles Bronson with a 150 iq and on steroids)

[TheSamuraiGoomba]

John Carter of Mars? ARGH! Drat you, Hollywood! Stop remaking my childhood memories! I know it's going to be horrible, the same way Clash of the Titans had that awful remake.

[foook111]

You forget Promethus, Ridley Scott going back to the Alien universe SHOULD turn out great.

[Regenmacher175]

@foook111 what if it turns out to be bad?

[foook111]

@Regenmacher175 Then i'll just carry on living my life.

[gibbi8]

You forgot Prometheus!

[MsBkirk]

Acts of Godfrey sounds as if it was inspired by Dr. Seuss stories!

[clockworkwar]

Mark on Ab Fab!



[GCmediacourse]

Did anybody watch absolutely fabulous last night because Mark was on it

[prigg88]

Is it me or does Thatcher in that clip of the Iron Lady remind anyone else of Dolores Umbridge especially Imelda Staunton's performance of her?

[BassDementia]

Excuse me, Mr Kermode, I think you forgot about Prometheus.

[Regenmacher175]

@BassDementia maybe he's not looking forward to it because all Alien spin-off movies have been bad so far.

[Chopofiev]

I missed the Limitless review!!

[SuperMylo64]

Finally, something not shit in my most watched feed.

[Foebane72]

I forgive you, Mark - welcome back to the 3D-hating fold. Oh, hang on, you never left it...

[MrBoBoTom]

I think Mark Kermode doesn't like 3d.

[MrBronzefonz]

Dont forget Skyfall the Sam Mendes directed James Bond 

[crunchytoastpro]

"It was a joke. I still think 3D sucks." Haha. That was great.

[TheySuggestedOranges]

Looking forward to Residue On The Upper Lip.

[themenaceanish]

Dark Knight Rises will be the most awesome movie of 2012!

[TheDensley7]

@themenaceanish It's all about Prometheus motherfucker!

[themenaceanish]

@TheDensley7 Fuck that shitty movie, Dark Knight Rises is going to humiliate prometheus at the box office, trust me.

[TheDensley7]

@themenaceanish You haven't even seen it yet! Prometheus and DKR are BOTH gonna be fucking awesome. 2 great British directors.

[themenaceanish]

@TheDensley7 Christopher Nolan is half American. In fact I'd say he's mostly American. He has an American passport, born to an American mother. Nearly all of his movies have been American. The only Brit movie he has done is his first. He live Britain to live in America permantly LMFAO!

Also all of Ridley Scott's movies have been finaced by Hollywood. There's very little 'Britsh' about these two people so HAHA!

[TheDensley7]

@themenaceanish Haha! I only said that because I knew it would set you off on some pathetic, infantile nationalist diatribe with echoes of homophobia. Speaking of homo, I'd suck your balls and make your asshole bleed. I sure like bad boys!

[themenaceanish]

@TheDensley7 Would you? I'd put a bullet in your head before u even got close to me XD

[MrnoWun0]

@themenaceanish< noo nah noo nahh noo nah noo naa noo noo nah noo

[whythisway]

@themenaceanish TURKEY FUCKER!!

[TheDensley7]

@themenaceanish I wouldn't trust you to wipe your own nose hillbilly.

[imcaspa1995]

@TheDensley7 just thought i'd tell you i found out my cousin lives near this joker, and when we tried to get a fight on the go he's suddenly ignored everything, yet he's gonna put a 'bullet in your head' awkward

[TheDensley7]

@imcaspa1995 Typical pussy. I can't stand the prick.

[dunnededunnedunne]

@themenaceanish What do you mean when you say that?

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

I hope the show gets to interview Fassbender again for a movie or two. I enjoy his Irish accent and the way he says "sort of" a lot.

[KzapProductions]

Are those comic books on the shelf behind Mark? They look the right hight to be trade paperback, I can't quite tell.

Also super excited for Rian Johnson's Looper next year.

[RoathRipper]

lol did my poor eyes deceive me or was that the English policeman from ''Allo 'Allo'' in Hugo?

[FormerHuman]

Mark! Mark! Mark! What about Prometheus? There's a lot of stuff coming out this year to get excited about, but for me Prometheus is top of the list, personally.

[ChrisDanLarsson]

Where the hell is Prometheus?

[DerrenBrown100]

why the 3D hate?

[MrBronzefonz]

Is Prometheus still going to be given two ratings? The original idea was to make the Alien version of On the origin of the species . Now it seems to be a traditional gore fest which I have no problem with but there is a fantastic back story if you chose just to focus on that

[jedivisconti]

I always love your point of view Dear Doctor, but, about the "things" to come, none of the Marvels interesting me, Hobbit, Definelly, and you forgot Ridley Scott's Prometheus, well, I'm antecipating much more than Nolan's Batman, indeed, your point of View about the No use of 3D in the Nolan's Movie were very perspective, and I agree with you, welcome IMAX, welcome future... Oh, and yes, happy new year Mark, from Brazil.

[TheNuclearSaturday]

Seriously,...no Prometheus Reference?

[evesapple]

im really looking forward to spiderman with andrew garfield and also the avengers- mainly because of joss whedon

[ttandc]

I pray that 3D will die soon as I can not stand the headaches I get from watching them. To Blur an entire picture just to make one object in a scene appear as though it is closer to you than the rest of the scene is beyond stupid in my opinion. Happy new year Kermode :)

[mm091540]

what's the song played to the clip of "John Carter"? it sounds like blixa bargeld covering moby

[mm091540]

@mm091540 oh, it's peter gabriel covering arcade fire, isn't it?

[owenthepenguin]

Spying potato head.

[MrBronzefonz]

Iron Sky 

[chrismclaren25]

Damn you John Williams, everytime I even hear the advert for War Horse I get weepy. You magnificent bastard!

[DevilMaskMedia]

The Woman in Black? Prometheus? Django Unchained?

[ActionMirror]

Harry Enfield doing acting!? exciting!

[Storage1129]

The Hobbit, by far.

[grabush77]

who cares about John Carter

[themenaceanish]

fuck the avengers, it's all about The Dark Knight Rises

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish The Avengers looks like a joke.

[themenaceanish]

@KajiCarson Oh shut up, you're so boring. Look at you trying to agree with me and be all chummy XD

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish Well, I just thought since I've befriended your mom so thoroughly these last few days I should extend the favor to her son. She sometimes talks about you when we're done.

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish Also, you've been bashing the same people, movies and nationalities on the internet for ages now and you call ME boring. Such panache, sir!

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish And how am I "trying" to agree with you? I AM agreeing with you. The Avengers looks freaking awful.

[themenaceanish]

@KajiCarson Good for you

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish That's what she said. Your mom that is. ;)

[RuhBuhJuh1]

Avengers? Amazing Spiderman?

[cklambo]

no avengers?

[grassyfgdshgjklsghlk]

"The Artist is about to come the first film to win the best picture oscar since the advent of sound" Really?

[babbleintooblivion]

I repeat PT Anderson's "The Master"?!

Kermode noted "There Will Be Blood" as one of the best films of the decade....

[Chfez6000]

i just watched the first five seconds of the batman trailer like 10 times. that just amazing.

[2505994]

PROMETHEUS?

Paul Thomas Anderon's THE MASTER?

Tarantinos's western DJANGO UNCHAINED?

Wachoski's CLOUD ATLAS?

...

[SittingOvations]

@2505994 You don't know Kermode.

[MrBronzefonz]

War Horse brought to you by your friends at Mane n Tail

[ttandc]

@MrBronzefonz I look forward to the sequel to this movie. I think it's called " glue factory "

[MsBkirk]

@MrBronzefonz War Horse seemed to me to be Black Beauty - the Next Generation!

[MrBronzefonz]

@MsBkirk I think more interest comes from it being a Spielberg film than the story itself I am going to see it for that reason. If it was not done by a director of note then i could wait for the DVD

[the1mightygod]

what about the avengers ?

[JoyandAnger]

the artist will not win best picture.

MAYBE nominated, but I think there'll be quite an uproar if it wins. I just don't think people are ready for the change.

[ChristopherDone]

I can't believe they have Martin Freeman for Bilbo in The Hobbit. That's genius, he's perfect! Looking forward to it.

[simonh505]

Can't wait for Prometheus but I think it says a lot that in a preview of 2012 the film that gets the most attention from Mark is TDKR. Who would have thought after Batman & Robin that the Batman series would be brought back in such a way that fans & critics alike are desperate for just a trailer of the new film to come out? I can't wait!

[NativeAlternative]

I'm excited out of my mind for 'John Dies At The End'. From what we've seen so far Bubba Ho-Tep and Phantasm director Don Coscarelli has nailed the visual oddity of the original novel, to the point where even the trailer is freaking out people I show it to. I like that is has new talent in the lead roles, and hopefully it'll be a film that won't A. Suck and B. If it doesn't suck get swept under the rug.

[SamColson4]

Every time I see that DKR trailer I get goosebumps.

[Harrysound]

3D is indeed very sucky

[AEF091]

I cannot wait for the dark knight rises

[RedlegsBluelegs]

Just got home from a hard days work to get some kermode uncut. Life is good.

[KajiCarson]

I'm looking very much forward to seeing Shame - Steve McQueen is a visionary director.

[vrooomuk]

C'mon - Prometheus?

[drplbiftin]

Prometheus. That is all.

[frogtastic1000]

saw harold and kumar christmas 3D recently....the film wasn't good and neither was the 3D

[MrBronzefonz]

Going for two villains again for the Dark Knight could be a mistake . 

[kikkakieran]

@MrBronzefonz maybe, but catwoman is some where inbetween, and the relationship between them creates more issues for the bat, so i still have my hopes up...

[MrBronzefonz]

@kikkakieran My issue with the catwoman is she has a made to fit uniform , Whereas the other "Villains" had uniforms which reflected either their psychopathic minds or a injury. I just find the catwoman a bit too much post Burton Batman franchise

[kikkakieran]

@MrBronzefonz i agree her uniform looks a bit crap, and there is a chance that this film ruins the trilogy, but i'm a bit of a batman fanboy and i have faith in nolan, so i'm preying your wrong.

[MrBronzefonz]

@kikkakieran I don't think the uniform is crap but Nolan's Batman film have that battered rough around the edges look and it comes over as a bit clean.Its only uniform I know but with all Nolan s films everything fits and to see something which does not fit is a bit worrying. Of course Christopher Nolan will at some point will drop the ball and I think this is the one.

[themenaceanish]

@MrBronzefonz There's only one Batman movie for me and that's Dark Knight. The other movie he directed Begins was mediocre at best. Dark Knight and hopefully Dark Knight Rises will go down as the most awesome comic book movies of all time.

[ChristopherDone]

@themenaceanish I have low expectations of Dark Knight Rises. Dark Knight was almost perfectly done. It'll be hard to equal.

[themenaceanish]

@ChristopherDone As long as its better than that first mediocre movie Batman Begins I'll be happy. I have similiar doubts too about Dark Knight Rises not being able to match the awesomness of Dark Knight.

[ChristopherDone]

@themenaceanish Agreed.

[TheDensley7]

@MrBronzefonz You might be right.

[TheHappydead]

PROMETHEUS 

[MrBronzefonz]

The Danny Boyle directed Olympic Opening Ceremony

[KajiCarson]

@MrBronzefonz Kermode is a film critic, not an Olympic Opening critic. xD

[MrBronzefonz]

@KajiCarson But he is a fan of Danny Boyle

[KajiCarson]

@MrBronzefonz I say it again. He's. A. Film. Critic. His vlog is about cinema, not parades.

[MrBronzefonz]

@KajiCarson Its not just about the films its about the people who make and star in the films . Last weeks broadcast had Michel Sheen talking about playing Hamlet in the theater So there is reasons why Mark could mention the Olympic opening as this may influence Danny in his next directorial choices

[XiaranUK]

and no mention of Prometheus

[Regenmacher175]

@XiaranUK well, there were sooooo many Alien movies and Scott's recent films have not been his best work that it may be better to go in with caution. Just because a director managed to do something right once, does not mean he can get the same thing right a second time (look at Star wars the originals vs the Prequels: they're made by the same guy 30 years after the success of the originals).

[RedlegsBluelegs]

@Regenmacher175 Except that the original star wars movie was saved by its editors and the subsequent sequels were both written and directed by other people. George Lucas wrote the story and had a hand in the screenplay as well as producing credits. Ridley Scott has a great track record and while some of his films go awry he still comes back with great stuff. His last great film was American Gangster (though I didn't see Body of Lies)

[liaminpreston]

Twenty-twelve, Mark, not two-thousand-and-twelve. 

[kikkakieran]

@liaminpreston ... a rose by any other name...

[mayer8356]

Drive for Best Picture (at least a nomination).

[mightlife]

3D skit - it was obviously a joke, just not particularly good.

I've never seen a 3D film and don't have particular desire to do so, but why be so actively against it? Being so 'anti-3D' is a waste of your time and energy IMO, it will die out as did all the other 'fads' (d'ya see what I did there?)

Seriously though, worthwhile films (those without cgi & explosions etc) will contiue to be released in regular format, while popcorn action films will occasionally enjoy an 'extra dimension', big deal!

[KajiCarson]

Apparantly Kermode has some kind of book about The Matrix behind him. Looks like a hardcover too. Interesting...

[KajiCarson]

Prometheus is gonna rock my ass and balls for sure.

[Regenmacher175]

@KajiCarson it could also be a kick in the balls if you expect too much.

[KajiCarson]

@Regenmacher175 I'm used to getting my nads stomped into the ground after all those awful Alien sequels and spin-offs. With Scotty as captain, the film will at worst be a gentle pat on the scrotum, which I have no objections to.

[TheDensley7]

@KajiCarson I can't wait for it man. Can't.Fucking.Wait.For.It.

[themenaceanish]

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES 2012

All movies will suck compared to TDKR

[TheInceptionLover]

@themenaceanish I completely agree with you :D

[TVTim86]

You didn't mention Prometheus. I'm more excited about that than anything else.

[ExtremeBogom]

@TVTim86

Man, I am literally aching at the bit to see that movie :D.

Would I be right in guessing you're a proud owner of the Alien quad Blu ray set?

[MrBronzefonz]

A year without the Transformers or Pirates Franchise . Bliss was it in that year to be alive

[themenaceanish]

commode is a faggot

Dark Knight Rises is going to own all other movies

nuff said

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish You speak lies. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is gonna own everything in the world until it blows up.

[themenaceanish]

@KajiCarson Pfft whatever XD

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish Hey man, I'm a Nolan fanboy as much as you, but Yemen has Amr Waked fishing for salmon - nothing beats that. FISHING FOR SALMON 2012.

[themenaceanish]

@KajiCarson fishing for salmon? WTF is that? LOOOL! That sounds like the gayest movie ever XD

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish Didn't you see the video?

[themenaceanish]

@KajiCarson What video?

[KajiCarson]

@themenaceanish The one above your head.

[Regenmacher175]

@themenaceanish that's what he seemed to imply by mentioning it at the end. the best stuff always comes at the end :).

[KajiCarson]

@Regenmacher175 @themenaceanish I guess he's not familiar with the phrase "saving the best for last."

[FunkSoulBrotherUK]

*cough* Prometheus

[CountFenrir]

No mention of Prometheus? Could shape up to be the biggest film of the year.

[chuckyboy12001]

Prometheus??????

[MrBronzefonz]

There is also the little matter of the Ridley Scott film 

[DrHasslein]

Haha I loved the swipe at George Lucas.

[MrBronzefonz]

Star Wars the musical.. Featuring the hit singles "Han did not shot first" "Now we know it was incest should the re-released Empire Strikes Back been given at least a 15 certificate"

[chuckyd9]

You forgot 'The Hunger Games'. I am disappoint.

[GCmediacourse]

I know the next Spielberg Film project after War Horse. Its Called 'Lincoln' its about the last few months before Abraham Lincoln was shot

[masterofgnargnar]

yay
