Red Tails- Movie

[Babalonian]

or it reairs 6PM EST on Comedy Central tonight.

That is my plan, but I often get stuck at work late.

Yeah, the website usually has it up the next day.  http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/mon-january-9-2012-george-lucas

It was a interesting interview,  Lucas was making some bold statements.

[Saxman]

Yeah, he says he's written a prequel and a sequel already and been trying to get Red Tails made for the past 20 years but couldn't get the funding.

You can see it on comedy central's website or here commercial free (2 popups to close) http://www.tubeplus.me/player/1970376/The_Daily_Show/season_17/episode_4/George_Lucas/

Take anything on the Daily Show with a hefty load of salt, but the part about him trying to get it going for 20 years is true and not a bit of self-referencial humor. A 1993 issue of Starlog (#191) shows Lucas began the project as early as 1988.

Did you watch the episode?  Lucas discusses the prequel and sequel a bit, basically saying he was going to see how this movie did.

Well "Dam Busters" is on Netflix so I guess I'll screen that tonight. There isnt much of a stream of WW2 flight movies coming down the pipe and thats the main reason I'll sit thru RedTails once at least.

I said it before, but how the biggest WW2 aircraft nerds on the planet (that would be everyone posting in this thread) can say they aren't going to see this movie for something lame like "they had rap music in the trailer", is completely retarded.  If after the movie comes out, and there's no rap music in it, you still won't see it?  I'd have to use the other R word to describe you.

Its Kinda hard to picture LucasFilm LTD bombing on CGI in 2011. http://www.redtails2012.com/airfieldbase.html?dogfight=true#/trailers

Its very hard guaging on TV , or monitor, how a movie is going to look on big screen. Todays digital theatres deliver an immersion that cant be replicated outside of them. And Loud? They are so LOUD nowdays.

This trailer makes me want to see it more than the trailer I saw on TV. On TV the CGI looked terrible, in this trailer it looks really well done.

Well?
Will this movie be EPIC?
Like SPR, The Pacific, Band of Brothers, Wild Geese, Cross of Iron, Platoon, Untergang, etc??
With great plot, tremendous acting that stands on its own, and great realistic battle scenes..

Or pathetic, silly cheerleader kid stuff?
Like Pearl Harbor, GIJoe, Iron man, Transformers, blah blah..
No believable plot, acting from grammer school quanza pageant, and cheezy CGI battle scenes?

You see, geeks to make Cheezy CG, cost less than good actors..
And lame CG is less embarrassing to the film makers, than bad actors, lol!
And besides, there aren't many good actors around anymore..

Sounds like Blacksploitation again, like the ghetto avenger B/flicks from the 70's.
A military themed, "Imma gonna git you sucka".. Just in time for THC's "black history month" too, lol..
Go figure?

So which will it be,
Any bets??

[EskimoJoe]

So which will it be,
Any bets??

I think that'll be a nice PNG.

[PAKFRONT]

I think that'll be a nice PNG.

What??? This is a hollywood production right?
Just being real? That IS the game in hollywood ya know!
It's all about money, not quality.. This is an exploitation film..
WORTHY FILMS on this, have already been done..

Late to this thread, but Red Tails has been in the can since 2009 if I remember correctly. They must have put one hell of a CGI job on it to take this long. I doubt the story will be anything close to historically accurate beyond a few facts. What I have seen is a mishmosh of ACM credited to the Red Tails that didn't necessarily happen.

But, it is a movie.

[Raptor]

Why do I feel like it is just this:


but with CGI?

From this post I'd say you're an advertisers dream............ kool-aid and all.
