The man was in Schindler’s List and played Ghandi. I don’t think taking a paycheck for something like Bloodrayne (I’ve never seen it) can be compared to government propaganda garbage that denies genocide.

Exactly, Kingsley played Ghandi & starred in Schindler’s List. His decision to star in the Turkish movie escapes me, besides the obvious lust of money. Germany helped the Ottoman Empire, and took notes what the empire did to the Armenians. Hitler even said in one of his speeches, “Who after all, remembers the Armenians”.

Here are some other movies regarding the subject:

  1. 40 Days of Musa Dagh (1980) - haven’t seen it yet, it is based on the 1933 book.
  2. The Cut (2014) - have not seen it yet.
  3. Ararat (2002) - directed by Armenian Canadian director Atom Egoyan. It’s a movie about a filmmaker making a movie about the Armenian Genocide. It feels like Egoyan’s other movies, because it always deals with families and their struggles.

They even had some groups buy out the entire Theater, then ask for a refund, to ensure the seats cannot be purchased again.

Wow, sure that stops people from seeing the film but it certainly gives the box office a boost haha!

Not if they ask for a refund, so the movie doesn’t make the actual money, and doesn’t get reported to the Box Office.

Gosh, I didn’t read that properly!

I thought the same thing when I first heard what they did. Then I found out the people were getting refunds.

Spider Baby (1967) - Solid black horror/comedy. Nice writing, interesting characters, fun movie all around.

Hmmm, sounds interesting, might have to check it out.

No Country for Old Men (2007) - Loved the lack of dialog and thought the scenes between Brolin and Bardem were incredible but I’m not sure if the film landed thematically. It seemed like they were going for a Wild Bunch esque “too old for this; life is passing me by” sort of deal but it never really clicked with me. Regardless the cat and mouse game was riveting.

Yeah, it was great movie, especially the cat and mouse game between Brolin & Bardem. Bardem was a clever, philosophical killer.

…what Lucas would consider a rough cut of his films.

That’s funny. What he considers as rough cuts, I call finished movies. What he calls finished movies (the Prequels), I consider as rough cuts.

Up is down, black is white, and short is long. Everything Lucas knows is wrong.

Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

James Cameron is a douche who only gets away with it because most of his movies turn out decent. Good luck on people caring about the 5 million Avatar sequels.

I loved Avatar…sue me.

I liked Avatar, it was a fun movie. But, making 4 sequels… sheesh!

In all fairness, Hollywood set a terrible precedent when a Transformers Cinematic Universe was announced.

I wish the original Transformers trilogy was handled a lot better. Too much human scenes, not enough Transformers. They also royally screwed the designs of the Transformers. Devastator was not well executed at all. If they followed the source material a little closer, while tweaking somethings, it could’ve been a much better Trilogy. That could’ve ended the story, with no need for making more movies.

The Promise (2016)

When I saw this poster art, I couldn’t help but be reminded of 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Both posters use somewhat similar colour schemes too.

After checking the poster, it’s true, they do have similar colours.
It’s possible “1492: Conquest of Paradise” poster’s use of colours denotes nautical themes.
However, the colours used on “The Promise” poster represent the Armenian flag.
