Thoughts?
Are you as ridiculously hyped as I am?
>>63366238
Your mom said to me last night that your birth and life was a series of unfortunate events.
yeah read the books as kid
though unlike something like LOTR or harry potter I doubt it would really have the same effect on me as it did then
Hugh Laurie or Jeremy Irons as Olaf pls
>>63366238
It's fake you idiot.
>>63366238
Only if Violet gets DSLs again.

Disgusting
I remember this trite little book series. Other kids would read them while I was working my way through the Western Canon. I was reading Gogol and Proust when the other brats were just starting to pick these books up.
>>63366238
Emily already perfected the role of Violet. The show can't work itself out of that rut unfortunately.
>>63366589
Actually its real.
>>63366238
Neat
Know what the format of this is gonna be? Like, 1 episode per book so it's over in one season? The movie crammed three books into one movie so it won't be too bad for time I think.
>>63367097
right that's why violet's name is misspelt
>>63367161
http://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/news/a36264/a-series-of-unfortunate-events-is-coming-to-netflix-and-you-could-play-violet/
Its real.
>>63367201
oh shit i'm sorry. hope it'll be good
>>63367161
>misspelt
You're either the worst troll or an absolute moron. Which is it?
>>63367294
>american education
Kill yourself.
>>63367234
It's okay
>>63366253
sick burn bruv
The girl who is cast as Violet is going to have pics of her shitposted so much
>>63367525
She'll be unfairly compared to the other Violet because of her lips.
I hope they raceswap some characters if Im being honest
So that teaser was the real deal, right?
How and why would anyone be able to scrape together a professional looking teaser for the series only a week or two after Netflix announced it?
I think denying it's real was just a typical Snicket misdirection
>>63368131
To be fair, it was announced long before the teaser. The timing was fine for it to be fan made, but even better for it to be real.
only just heard about it from this thread. i remember enjoying the books as a kid so i'll probably check this out when it's released

>>63366238
They're going to have a tough time find a cunny that was hotter than Emily Browning was in the movie, she was the one that turned me!
>>63366238
I don't intend to watch anything that has some sleazy streaming service logo accompanied by "A [...] original" line to go along with it. If you watch Netflix you're pleb tier normie cancer.
>>63369555
Casting director had a fine pedophile eye.
>>63366238
Did netflix ever made anything good beside " House of cards" ?
All the rest have been memetier series.
>>63366847
You're a big guy.
>>63367334
Good one! Can you tell a joke about airplane food next?

Trailer for people who haven't seen it.
>>63377893
Neat. Seems like a very fitting tone, I hope they run with that. I know the books are for kids but do we know what demographic they're going to be going for with this series? seems like maybe a bit older crowd
>>63371780
She was like 14 in the fucking movie, that's not cunny.
>>63378671
The book series hasn't been relivent to children in years. I get the feeling the demographic is 18-20something year olds who grew up with the series.
Even if they are targeting the CURRENT fans of the books though (there isn't many) the books did such a great job of treating their child auidence as adults so I'm not too worried about it being made specifically for kids
>>63366253
>>63377893
the announcement is real but this trailer was confirmed as fake
>>63367234
>oh shit, i'm sorry
>>63378907
No offense but I get the feeling you didn't read the books much as a kid. This is just the sort of Lemony Snicket type of shenanigans I would expect from a Netflix announcement.
At first I thought it was fake too, because it was released long after I thought the project was scrapped, but now that they are making it public again that the project is real, the trailer seems all the more believable.
Are they bringing Jim Carrey back?
>>63378961
I didn't read the books as a kid, not an American, only saw the movie. Why would they do this? Seems convoluted.
Is it in production already? Who is cast?
>>63366238
>>63366238
>>63366238
WHERES TEH NEW SEASON OF NARCO YOU CUNT??????
GIMME GIMME GIMME
>>63379317
The entire point is that its convoluted. The books were convoluted. Always trying to trick the reader and had some very strange twists. Its a good marketing tactic on top of that. The hype for the trailer lasted days longer than it would have because of pure speculation.
They are casting into January. I would assume the bulk of the scripts are already written.
>>63366847
Whoa... There's your impressed response, bro.
Just kidding. No one came here to read your blog.
>>63366847
Yet you ended up shitposting on /tv/, while your ASOUE-reading classmates are scientists, astronauts and politicians.
>>63367201
Yeah, but that poster is fake.
It's using cut-outs from the books' art, and Violet's name is spelled incorrectly.
So far there's no legitimate promotional material for the show.
I don't remember much about these books, I need to read them again. Something something fires, something something VFD, something something sugar bowl? Klaus climbing up a chimney on a mountain or some shit? Something to do with eggplants? I don't fucking know.
>>63366238
What retarded faggot would make a fake poster and put the fucking Netflix logo on it. For what purpose besmirch your own """art""" like that?
So what's going to be the rating to this since Olaf had a thing for Violett?
Haven't seen the movie for a while, is it worth watching again? Is it at all comfy?
>>63380365
Its alright on its own.
>>63379954
He didn't. He tried to marry her to get money in one part of the book, but thats the only thing he does like that
The only thing that bothers me, if the trailer is real, is that they've got the eye wrong again. That isn't the 'eye symbol'. This is.
Its important to the plot in the later books.
I liked the movie as a kid but not that much when older.
As for this shit, first I've heard of it and don't really care. Actually I might just read the books if there aren't over ten.
>>63381074
I think there are 13, but honestly the plot is great, if only for the tone.
>>63380365
Pretty comfy.
Plot is retarded because they shoved 3 books into one movie and changed the ending, but considering everything, its pretty nice
I read literally all of these books when I was like 12, all I remember is bits and pieces, mostly them at the end on some tropical island drinking coconut shit called coloquial or some shit.
jailbait emily browning was a perfect violet
im really upset that movie didnt quite work out
>>63381869
Yeah, they end up washed up on an island at the end, I thinkcount olaf drowns?
There was also something about a fungus that grows in your throat if you breathe in the spores and the only cure was wasabi or horseradish
>>63381934
Doesn't Olaf get stabbed with a harpoon or spear or some shit?
>>63381978
Just looked it up
He gets put next to the sea to drown by the islanders, but escapes with a glass full of the fungus with the spores in, and when he plans a killing spree, one of the islanders shoots him with a harpoon, releasing the spores and impaling him in the process. He begins to die from the fungus, then has a horseradish apple thing, that heals him, but the harpoon injury was fatal.
Christ, these books were crazy, I love it
>no jailbait with DSL
>no jim carrey
It's going to fail 100%
>>63377893
>yfw that song is about cunny
>>63382140
the series always had some slight pedo undertones so its fitting
>>63366847
Comparing Gogol to Proust is fucking insulting. Do you trash talk McDonalds by saying that you were brought up eating Sphagettios and Filet Mignon?
>>63376528
Daredevil and Bojack were both good.
>>63382292
>daredevil was good
when will this meme die?
Are these kids books or would an adult like it too?
>>63382350
Kids are the target audience but I can easily see an adult reading them. I was actually considering going back and reading them again soon.
I am now.
>>63382350
They have a lot of adult-y stuff in them.
Its like, there is enough subtlety that an adult would gain enjoyment from reading them, but you'll still be able to tell they're for kids.
I'm reading a pdf of the first book now and I forgot how great the tone of it was
>>63382350
they are aimed at kids and teenagers but arent exactly "kids books" if you get my meaning
its definitely possible to enjoy them as an adult if you go in with the right mindset
>>63369555
> tfw Emily Browning will never look this good again.
>>63382350
There's a kind of enjoyment you can only get from reading it as an adult, I think. Like as a kid, it was just this story with a jokingly depressing setting, but now it seems like a sort of parody
>>63382477
>those dsl
>>63381056
IIRC, the first book had a picture of Olaf with an ankle tattoo of an actual eye instead of that logo. Always bothered me once the series introduced VFD.
>>63372867
>not watching a show just because it's on netflix
>implying i won't just pirate it
>>63366847
I can google high-brow authors, too.
>>63382552
Yeah, I remember that. Bugged me too.
I hope they fix it in the book. No idea how they'll have the whole 'what does it stand for' thing if they have nothing to actually see the letters in
>>63382477
GOAT tier
>>63382693
>tfw you will never cum on her lips
>>63382350
Read the Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen trilogy. Much better than this series. I stopped midway through when I was a preteen cause they were the same shit.
>>63366238
Never read the books, but thought the movie was comfy as hell. Could be cool.
> film discussion thread
> turns really fast into cunnyfu thread
Never change /tv/
>>63382723
I got into it with this faggot "Lemony Snicket" on Ain't It Cool news. I said that his nom de plume was fucking retarded, the book was shit and a clear attempt to rip off Harry Potter. He's a Jew after Rowlings gold and I don't know why they're under the delusion that yet ANOTHER adaptation of this fucking shit will work when the original movie was fucking trash!!!FACT!!!
>>63382792
The books go into comfier detail. Especially the second one where they meet comfy uncle
>>63382477
>those lips
>on a teenager
oh no
>>63379840
same reason people put a nintendo logo at the end of their fake smash character reveal trailers, einstein
>>63383636
>Emily Browning was 13 years old during the filming of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
>>63383713
old enough for kisses
>>63382552
I don't think he had planned out any of the VFD bullshit until book 5 at the earliest. That's why the symbol doesn't look like "VFD" until much later.
>>63366238
What would everyone's thoughts be on Damon Lindelof helming this? They barely explain anything about VFD's mysteries in the books (where did Captain Widdershins and Phil go? What was in the sugarbowl?) so he'd be perfect imo
>>63383713
NNNNGGHHHH
>>63383892
why was this allowed
>>63383838
>hiring lindelof after the trainwreck that was tomorrowland
yah nah
What happened to that fan trailer that all of the spergs kept arguing was real despite every force on the planet earth directly saying that it's fake?
>>63383930
The Leftovers Season 2 is pretty good though
>>63366847
Pretty good bait, 7/10
>>63383940
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xer4VCa5-tg
was already posted
its fanmade but it might as well be real, its perfect
This series is basically Lost for kids. Halfway through they both diverge and get off into some whacky stuff.
I never realized that his eye tattoo was suppose to be the VFD logo. Probably due to the illustrations always being completely different. Makes sense now.
>>63366847
>mfw this series is what first taught me the word "trite"
Can someone explain to my the the fuck this isn't animated?
It's thirteen different stories in literally every crazy location possible
The film was great, fuck anyone who says it wasn't
>>63384042
Actually, yeah, the amount this would cost to make must be insane. It takes place on a huge coast, in olaf's massive mansion, in an orphanage, in a hotel, in a circus/freakshow, on the side of a massive icy mountain, on a desert island, and god knows how many other places
>>63384042
It really is surprising, especially since Netflix has proven themselves pretty competent with their first foray into animation (BoJack).
And on top of the locations shit, there's some really cartoony violence later on. As I recall, Sunny gets into a swordfight with her teeth.
>“You’re a pretty one,” he said, taking her
face in his rough hands. “If I were you I
would try not to anger Count Olaf, or he
might wreck that pretty little face of yours.”
Violet shuddered, and the bald man gave a
high-pitched giggle and left the room.
This is an actual quote. I wonder if they'll leave it in
>>63384138
Shit. I fucked up the greentext there. But you get the point
>>63383892
she gave me funny feelings in my dick when I saw this movie as a kidshe still does
>if you like movies about reasonably attractive orphans [...] you can stay
first lines of the movie
>>63384290
This is actually in the book, iirc
Let me see if I can find the quote
>>63384290
>>63384313
"Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were intelligent children, and they were charming, and resourceful, and had pleasant facial features"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoBnHYKcCRU
Best thing about the movie was the end credits animation
>>63378961
No, as slick as it looks it was confirmed as a fake. From what I understood, a video editor made it and sent it viral while discussions with netflix were still in the works to drum up publicity and ensure it would be greenlit. He did the same thing with another show.
>>63384524
uh no the best thing about the film was the music and the excellent cinematography
>>63382252
In every public appearance I've seen with Daniel Handler he quotes Lolita to packs of children under 15
>>63384658
I wish they'd make the series as much like the trailer as possible. Its so perfect
>>63384524
>>63384524
>>63384789
NO, the best thing about the movie was that girl and her full ass lips.
I've never cared more about a bitches lips than when I saw her on screen.
>>63376528
What about that Pablo Escobar one everyone lost their minds over?
>>63376528
No, but to be fair, they've only really been doing original programming for a couple of years now.
>>63383892
>>63384237
She was the only reason I wanted them to continue making the series.she's the only reason I enjoyed Sucker Punch
>>63384036
Marrying a loli, its legal because he is her legal guardian and signs approval. Pottery.
>>63385621
She was 14, so its not super loli, but loli enough to be weird that it got into a kids movie
I don't get why the movie was never made into a franchise. It did well enough critically and financially...
>>63385839
They sort of fucked themselves over in terms of the plot. If it was made into a franchise they'd have to change a lot of stuff. Also Jim Carrey was probably in other things
>>63380365
Honestly I thought Jim Carrey was great as Olaf.
>>63385899
>>63385839
Nevermind, apparently they were planning it, but the issue was with the actors all aging too much. Like by the last book, they'd have to look AT MOST 2 years older than at the start
>>63386237
His performance was great but it wasn't Olaf. Not even a little.
>>63378917
Tell me about your mother.
What does she say?
>>63386568
This is another reason the new show should be animated.
>>63388053
It was totally olaf, apart from how he makes jokes.
Olaf in the books was outright scary and threatening and pretty much told the kids that he wanted them to die horribly
>>63388449
>Olaf in the books was outright scary and threatening and pretty much told the kids that he wanted them to die horribly
Yea and there was none of this in the movie. It was all camp humor and mugging with none of Olaf's psychopath menace or FML depression.
PEDOS LEAVE
>>63381934
Thats the only thing i remember too, every time i eat Wasabi i get reminded of this.
