>>62964205
Is this Wild Wild West?
My dick
>>62964205
Damn, as nonsensical as it was, it was still bloody cool to see that thing crawl out of that canyon or whatever it was. Can't remember how good the effects were though
Reminder Jon Peters is a dumbass faggot who wanted this spider to be in a Superman movie.

WILD WILD WEST

Be careful son, Ive been in over 500 street fights
>>62964205
do you know anything about spiders, anon? they're the most ferocious beasts in the animal kingdom
>>62966771
Confederate spiders are no match for Union wasps
>mfw I actually really enjoy Wild Wild West and think its a fun movie
How mad are you
>>62967625
i thought the same until i rewatched it and realized how obnoxious will smith is
>>62964399
And polar bears. Maybe a spliced version?
A spider polar bear.
>>62964399
I honestly think Jon Peters was just trying to sabotage Kevin Smith with those conditions.
That actually looks kinda neat
>>62967695
Nah. He's just crazy in general.
Why else did he push the giant spider in "Wild Wild West?"
Kevin Smith wasn't involved.
Only his cousin Will Smith.
>>62966771
NO
They're little angels.

The first two Evenings were genuinely funny. Too bad the rest were sort of meh.
>>62966714
You should know to never mess with someone from the streets who has been in fights where you can just smell the blood.So how much of a pathological liar is this illkterate fuckwit?
>>62968028
How do you accidentally freeze a hamster to death? If she put him in the freezer, that doesn't count as 'accidental'.
>>62968189
He used to cut Barbara Streisand's hair.
You figure it out.
HOL
>>62968067
like everything else kevin smith does... :(
>>62970279
>i watched a youtube video by a fat fuck
Smith is a cunt that deserves to die, he mocks hollywood and ignores that he was on board with all that shit,he is a slut.
>>62964205
Only thing wrong with it was that it didn't have the epic original theme song in its soundtrack...

Otherwise, it's weird ass, steampunk approach was a good fit for the original's bizarre plots, including a big-ass, steam-powered spider.
Underrated, 2bh.
I liked it

Is he really illiterate?

The skull ship was neat.

I watched the documentary about Tim Burton's failed Superman reboot starring Nic Cage on Showtime, actually.
And, yes, Kevin Smith was talking shit, but we got other witnesses to confirm his story, including Jon Peters and Tim Burton.
>>62970456
Is this what you meant by the YouTube video?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_%22Superman_Lives%22:_What_Happened%3F
My cousin did special effects for this, he hated it.
>>62970531
I think everyone hated it while loving the potential.
It broke everyone's respective hearts, including Jon Peters' polar bear/spider street fighter heart.
>>62970566
Should have just made the damn Superman movie.

Not too shabby for it's time.

He was also a producer on Man of Steel.
I genuinely think that's why we got rocket powered penises, a mechanical octopus "World Engine" and superman necksnap at the end.
>>62968028
Do you live in day of the tentacle s universe ?
Not sure if you guys remember the robot named AMEE from Red Planet - starring Val Kilmer?
Well, when Wild Wild West utterly TANKED at the box office, the studios began to look around for someone to blame because they couldn't accept the failure of this film. They settled on the mechanical Spider-Tank in the OP's picture. They blamed the writers for putting a spider tank in the movie, they blamed the CGI guys for putting it in the movie and they immediately started to axe any project in future that had anything remotely like a spider in it.
Now the original design for AMEE was actually a mechanical spider. But when Wild Wild West tanked, they got fucking SCARED because suddenly, Spiders were BOX OFFICE POISON. So even though they'd spent years making AMEE, the studio issued a KILL THE SPIDER order that required the VFX team to redesign AMEE again from scratch at the last moment. All that anyone could talk about was Wild Wild West and that fucking dismal failure of a Mechanical Spider that was blamed for killing the movie.
In the end, nobody could come up with an acceptable head for AMEE. So in a fit of decency, they hired a friend of mine and fellow artist named Ron Cobb (Star Wars, Alien etc) to design JUST the head of the robot. They paid him $500,000.00 just for designing the head. Nice. Didn't make the movie any better although I liked AMEE's design.
>>62964221
Well, it ain't me, if that's what you're implying.
Here you go... (AMEE from Red Planet)

WWW was plenty entertaining. The steampunk spider was a pretty cool end boss too

This sounds too insane not to be true, so I'll believe it

>>62970503
>this is one of only a handful true steampunk movies in existence
why hasn't this aesthetic been more exploited? It's way superior to cyberpunk.
>>62972599
It was a fun movie. Cool concept and setting, it would be interesting to see them implemented with a better script.
Ungoliant ?
>>62970483
You're forgetting Salma Hayek and all those hot chicks they surrounded Kenneth Brannagh with. Those were good too
Also, they did have stings of the original theme song here and there amidst the soundtrack.
>>62964205
> Comfy steampunk cowboys...
Works for me.
>>62972599
Because it's far too easy for Steampunk to look shit. If there were more steampunk films you can bet they'd glue gears to top hats all over the place

He was only listed as an "executive producer" and it is only because he had to be.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/man-steel-how-jon-peters-570675
>When it came time for Man of Steel, a source says Warners initially tried to cut out Peters, claiming the movie would be new and not a remake, but the studio eventually agreed to include him. And because of Peters' previous deals, the financial terms were A-list: seven figures up front plus a slice of backend.
>Peters had additional leverage. Sources say that under his deal, he stood to receive a "produced by" credit, but because Warners didn't want him to take an active role, it engaged in a separate negotiation that resulted in Peters taking an executive producer credit -- and keeping his backend. "We had a number of producers on the movie," explains Warners film chief Jeff Robinov. "Knowing what my expectations were for Jon's services, I asked him to take the role of executive producer, and he agreed."
>A source close to Peters says he was not allowed on the set, which left him "very disappointed," adding, "Ego-wise, it was a blow for him." But Warners disputes the notion that Peters was banned and insists he was invited to the premiere, but he couldn't attend because he was having surgery.
>mfw that random brief shot of polar bears in Man of Steel
Jon can't let it go

I am shocked with how much shit from Superman Lives ended up on Man of Steel. How can it by that there is this infamously troubled production that ended up being cancelled and you just think "Yeah, I should take ideas from THAT and add them to my Superman movie".
What the hell was Hacksnyder thinking?
All I remember about this movie is feeling sick to the point of vomiting during the part where Abraham Lincoln starts using a giant robot spider.
>>62964205
I thought it was fun.

I heared of hollywood doing retarded shit like this before. Like after that Mars needs Moms movie bombed, they figrered any movie with the word "mars" in the title was poison.
Not the fact that it was some shitty gay kids movie, no, because mars was in the title. Thats Why that John Carter on Mars was renamed to John Carter
Why was this movie so hated, or still is? Reminds me of Waterworld or Show Girls. What is it with average movies that can be actually quite entertaining and even do some great things randomly creating a hype and waves of memes with people acting like they're the worst movies ever made?
What was the last movie that did this? The new Terminator?

Kevin Smith tells the story in An Evening With but he wouldn't name the guy... Awesome.

for a second I thought it was some live action of howl's moving castle that I'm just now hearing about.
glad I was wrong.
