If Lincoln hated blood-suckers, why did he become a politician? I guess to hunt them or something, but just a thought.

Lincoln is my favorite President. This film reinforces that fact.

Thank you, Tim.

I've been meaning to borrow the book from my friend, but nonetheless...

I'm still waiting for George Washington: Ghost Hunter, Teddy Roosevelt: Zombie Exterminator, Dwight Eisenhower: Alien Fighter, Harry Truman: Robot Destroyer, and Thomas Jefferson: Viking Annihilator.

Teddy Roosevelt doesn't need fiction to paint him as an invincible bad ass that you don't want to fuck with. We have history books for that.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaarge!

...anyway, McNulty chops a mean tree I'll grant him that. That isn't Dominic West though is it? It's someone else.

I suppose this sounds as insane as Churchill the Hollywood years, which replaced Churchill as we know him with an American GI, who ends up saving the world with a few thousand bullets!

But this sounds awesome too! A lot more beleivable than any of that Dan Brown rubbish that keeps getting produced! :p

You know... i never thought that there could ever be a movie worse than Ghost Rider... I can always count on Tim Burton though to ruin anything that he can grab from the shitcluster that makes up about 75-90% of his imagination

You know this movie is based on a book right? Just asking cause in the post i cant tell if you are bashing him for fucking up the book (which i have no idea if its true or not) or just because it seems like a horrible premise..


OT: totally psyched and have my story goggles turned off and am looking forward to my 16 president of america laying the smacketh down on some vampires in some over the top goofiness.

And here I was hoping they were actually making a game out of this.

How did he chop a tree up? Ripping a tree like that, it'd be damn near impossible, and even then you'd need some serious grip on the thing and the damn horses of the gods to even get the thing to tear. Cheesey effects I get, but let those effects stay within physics, at least. The last time we tried this crap, we saw gunpowder being drawn across a room by an electromagnet, highlight the marionette corpse of Indiana Jones.
It's a movie about a 19th century U.S. president laying the smackdown on the undead. We have exchanged our forlorn goodbyes with reality and struck on our own to find our fortune.
My willing suspension of disbelief is willing to accept the tasty alt-fantasy mash up gibberish goodness, but physics is physics. Unless their physics are different, in which case why is their world sticking together???, but I doubt such is the case.
Strict adherence to physics makes for boring movies. If throwing a tree into orbit makes for an absurdly awesome fight scene, then throw a tree into orbit we shall.
But...the tensile strength! And the direction of movement was perpendicular to the applied force! It makes no sense!

Oh fine. Have your impossible tree fight scene. I'm gonna get more chips, because this is looking to be a whole cow's worth of cheese.

[small]*Grumble grumble* breaking physics *grumble grumble* material properties *grumble grumble*[/small]
The person chopping clearly has immense strength, so tensile strength can be ignored. The axe blade is a wedge, and thus is pushing the tree both up and down. Since the tree can't move down, the earth is there, the top part of the tree accelerates upwards due to the force of the axe wedging it up. Most of the force will be directed perpendicular to the tree, yes, but some, due to the angle of impact, will be directed upwards. That is how he can chop a tree up.

I have to admit that DOES look cool, and I have a lot of respect for Tim Burton despite the occasional failure.

That said, I can't help but wonder if this is simply trying to follow in the footsteps of the success of the recent, camped-up "Sherlock Holmes" movies.

And another joke about which vampire hunter can kill Edward is added to the list.

Still I admit this look interest and man that scene with Lincoln slashing the tree only to smash it was a total boss!
