LOCKOUT : Aka This Movie Should Have Had Kurt Russell



So in lieu of Kurt Russell being pretty much retired, somebody in Hollywood thought to himself:
"Hey, seeing that we can't come up with anything original, why don't we just copy the plot from the 'Escape From New York and LA' movies, and set it in space?'

This flick is going to star Guy Pearce as 'Snow,' (*cough Snake Plisken cough*) a wrongly convicted prisoner who gets offered his freedom if he can save the Presidents daughter from an outerspace prison overrun by criminals. I'm not sure what to think of this flick, with its generic premise, plastic CG and groan inducing one liners. We'll see what people think of it in April, but we're not expecting much.

Kanye West Rips Off Enter The Void

Yesterday, Kanye West put out a music video for another single off of his Dark Twisted Fantasy album he released last year. If you're like me, you've got no real interest in Kanye West, but you might be interested to know that for his new video, Kanye did happen to rip off one of the best movies of last year.

Here's the original title sequence from Enter The Void:



Now here's Kanye's new video(The sequence in question starts at 0:58):



Not only is the title sequence ripped verbatim, but most of the other shots in the video closely mimic the style Enter The Void was shot in. For shame Kanye.
