Wtf?

Why? Films these days are fvcked up... Tarnishing the image of a great historic person like that.

Also noticed alot of movies these days are giving a false aspect of the military. Ie, Marvel, Battleship, Red Tails etc...

It's coming across as propaganda.

Brutal!

When I first saw the ad I was in shock. How low can movie makers go? Have some respect for (arguably) one on the finest presidents ever.

Can't the Lincoln estate or his Presidential Library or Federal Historic Archives issue a cease and dissist letter? Or does it fall within free speech?

i believe it was a book first... you should be angry at an author, not a director.

*EDIT*

yep!. be mad at Seth Grahame-Smith for writing the book, not Tim Burton for producing. (i said director earlier, but come on, Burton is the reason this is getting made)

Nice work. A great American Icon is turned into a comic book character.

Nice work. You guys who got mad about a certain picture I posted should be enraged by this.

I mean, I have no idea what it is about (other than the title, and some commercials I ignored) but is it really that big a deal? I hate the whole vampire thing, and think its abosolutely retarded, but its just another movie...

When i heard about this movie and then saw the trailer, what came to mind was.....what is this - a 1970s Exploitation film?

Pretty freaking ridiculous. Hollywood is out of ideas...and now they're just throwing the craziest and laziest **** against the wall.

Well Abe was the first dick sucking president, maybe he was the first vampire hunter too... Maybe even witch hunter.

That's fuken right! My imagination tends to run wild when it comes to books by Stephen King and I thought the Movie did it justice.

I like how you come off as this guy who wants so desperately to be respected on here with your supposed well thought out reviews on books, movies and hockey. Meanwhile, the only people on here who might find you enlightening are the 18 year old, pimple faced wimps who know **** about anything.

Stick to drinking Lager and smelling like cat piss, ya four eyed loser fuk!
