I'll be seeing this on Sunday.  I thought the lack of advertising hurt Pacific Rim, but at least I heard of that before it came out.  This, nothing.

This thread is a bit inspired by the new Child's Play movie coming out.  It's inspired me to think about Chucky in a Freddy vs Jason style movie.

The Leprechaun: Chucky and the Leprechaun have very similar personalities and senses of humor.  These two would match each other play for play, and it would be fucking awesome to have Warwick Davis vs Brad Dourif.

Puppet Master: This is pretty obvious.  The spell that created Chucky could easily fit into the Puppet Master universe.  The most frightening thing about this is that it would essentially be Chucky versus a ton of lesser versions of himself.  They could start off as allies, creating a really creepy atmosphere and situation, and then turn it into Chucky versus an army.  This would be excellent.

Chucky versus Frankenstein: This would be stupid, and ridiculous, and senseless, and one of the most entertaining things ever to be Direct to DVD.  Monster/slasher comedy at its best, no dick jokes required.  Of course, it would never get made.

Anybody else have ideas?

For me its competition would be Iron Man 3.

I can kind of see what you mean, but not really.  Everything seemed pretty well lit to me when it came to distinguishing details.

Is it just me, or are each of my posts tonight missing an image?  I'm seeing the "Hiroshima" image from this one and I have a feeling if I look at my other post again, the Gamera set will be gone again.

I haven't shared these yet, but I picked them both up earlier this month:

[Cozzilla]

Today this was brought to my attention:

This movie is known as Cozzilla, a cross between Director Luigi Cozzi and Godzilla.  It's a badly Turnerized edit of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, spliced in with actual footage of the Hiroshima bombing (which makes this a real life snuff film, but that's another matter) and other movies of the 1950s.

Considering that I just bought the Japanese and American cuts of this film, the fact that there is a 1977 special (ostensibly terrible) cut of the film that was only released in Italian theatres lights a fire under my ass.  I spent two hours this evening trying to find a way to watch this film and all I found was a dozen rare DVD sites that have never heard of it, two closed sites that hosted streams of it, four links to the American 1956 version, and four Youtube videos that were taken down for copyright reasons.  I know DVD-Rs of this are floating around out there somewhere... if anybody has any idea where to find this, I will pay real DVD price for it.

How about you?  Anybody else have any rare DVDs you're looking for?

So, who else watched this movie?

Don't watch this if you get motion sickness from bad editing.  Sorry De, no zombies for you.

I think they should take a leaf from the DCAU and give us a movie where Vandal Savage is the villain.  It would be a good way to introduce the live action films to fans of animated movies and Young Justice.

I was not a huge fan of the last two.  They seemed to be heading in a "Freddy's Dead" sort of direction.

I dunno... that tells me that Platinum Dunes doesn't have a stake in it, which is always a good sign.

Isn't Dorkus the girl?

Did they really?  I'm kind of glad I missed that.  I know what scene you were talking about, but I tend to miss background details in my first watch-through.  Still, sounds like the kind of thing Zach Snyder would do given that material; even more the type of thing Christopher Nolan would insist on.
