A look at Robin Williams in ONE HOUR PHOTO
Hey folks, Harry here with a bit about that action film from Mark Romanek... They spent $445 million dollars to create the effects required to make Robin enter the world of each of these photos and change everyone's existences. They laugh and sing, and there's popcorn for everyone... JUST KIDDING... Ha ha ha... Gotcha! Actually, best I can tell this is the exact sort of movie we all complained we weren't getting this summer. A film with real characters, real emotions and with a real story. At least that's the theory. There have been a couple of screenings of the film... And I know that some of you have seen it, yet I have not yet heard what you thought! Now who's keeping all the candy to themselves? No, not you Quint, No.... YOU, share please?
Hi Harry.
I first read about a movie called One Hour Photo at your site, and since I
work in a photo lab, I was amazed and exicted! But I wondered if Hollywood
was going to do the usual sloppy job of portraying a photo lab like the few
times I've seen them portrayed in TV, movies, etc.
Well, I guess they're not.
Attached is a pic of Robin Williams at a training facility in southern
California, working on an Agfa MSC 101-D, similar to one one I work on.
Word is he trained for two and a half days, and picked up on things well.
On an interesting side-note, see that pen haging from his shirt? It's one
of those four-color pens that most people haven't seen since 1978. But we
photo-lab people use them every day! We plot the variations of our
chemistry and how it effects the colors of the film; red, green, blue lines
get drawn on a graph.
See-Ya...

Looks like my gay uncle Bruce.

Yes, that is the scariest picture I've seen in a while. Just look in to his eyes! You can see what he's thinking. He's saying 'You think your getting red-eye reduction?? Well you're not!'
-
He needs some sleep..he looks like crap........uggh. The only person who I know who looks that bad has no teeth..and smells like a pickle.
-
Bad version of Attack of the Peroxide Bottle! But still, I like Robin Williams and this movie has sounded interesting since I read the script review. I won't, uh, split hairs over his appearance. Gay Uncle Bruce, huh? Yeah, I can see that.____Bee
-
Whoa...he looks so OLD. And he's just 31 yrs old I think. Beware folks! That's what cocaine will do with YOU, too...so: STOP THE SNORTING! tt out (tt's never been on drugs)
-
you were joking about robin williams being 31, right? i mean that was just to set up the sarcastic cocaine joke, right? 'cause williams is 49...

About 2 years ago, after Flubber and Patch, in an interview Williams expressed an interest in doing some more sophisticated projects. He was afraid of losing his edge. His plan was to take some time off (he has), perhaps try out new material in some comedy clubs (he did), and find a few scripts he really liked. One Hour Photo, Insomnia, and Death to Smoochy are his upcoming films. Could it be that Williams is poised for a significant return to form?
-
That was a big pile of poo. A true ICU Code Brown! Thanks, otis von zipper, for the names of the RW's other upcoming movies. I don't suppose anyone remembers when the article posted that looked at all three? I would like to refresh my memory a bit but have no desire to wade through weeks of SW, LotR, Scooby Poo, and other sundry updates in order to find the one which interests me.____A Bee Hoping For Someone With A Real Good Memory

Look at what happened to Robin.
-
But in all seriousness, this movie sounds monumentally boring. I mean I haven't really read any reviews on it, but just the idea that you have a photo shop as the focal point of your movie sounds rather uninteresting. And to ManOwaR how can you not count Fisher King, which has the best performance I have ever seen from Williams. Unless of course you have not seen it, then I apologize.
-
Bluto's in for some shit now!
-
Apparently, when he was younger, he was seen as being one of the most technically gifted actors around - up there with Clift, Brando, DeNero and Pacino... That was obviously before he did any films! Another one was Richard Pryor. Now sadly stricken with parkinsons I think. I hope he's ok.
-
He looks so cool!! He looks like an older popeye. I can't wait to see this movie, 'cause people who've seen something of it say that Robin is really creepy. But everytime I see a pic of him from OHF the only thing I can do is LOL.

When I was reading the intro paragraph to "One Hour Photo", I was thinking "Man, this guy is lying!" Of course I realize you were kidding about the budget.
This is not a big-budget hollywood movie. The director is a well-respected music video director and photographer (Madonna, Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Fiona Apple to name a couple). This movie is not a big box office hit type of movie, so i doubt Mark Romanek will skimp on details because he is an artist. Artists usually are detailed in their work. You know, i think he wrote it because he does know what goes on in the photo lab. "Write what ya know".
Though I've never seen the screening of the film, I've read the script. Heck, I have a copy of the storyboard script. I must say, it's an unusual story. I think Robin Williams chose to do this as a challenge, and not neccessarily for popularity. This movie is not for kids, i can tell you that. If you're looking for a light-hearted comedy with Robin Williams in it, this is the wrong movie to watch. If you're into independent films, this it the type. -
This is a real good flik. I couldn't picture williams playing some creepy stalker, but he's real good at it. One Hour Photo is a must see, but it's anything but a family film.

Robin Williams -- please do us all a favor and retire. I couldn't see Insominia, despite great reviews and Al Pacino because of you. Now you're desperately trying to gain some credibility by playing against stereotype in Death To Smoochy, Insomnia and 24 Hour Photo. But consider Patch Adams & Millenium Man (big box office failures) Flubber, Hook, and the nauseating Mrs. Doubfire. What am I saying -- all your movies are nauseating. Plaese, please, retire.
