Anthony Hopkins' bizarre SLIPSTREAM gets a distributor and a release date!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now, I saw this sucker at Sundance and boy is it a weird one. Click here to read my review... or what's left of it. I don't know what happened to that last paragraph... but you'll get a good idea what this movie experience is like.
It's not surprising to me in the least that it took so long to find distribution and that it'll ultimately end up with a small limited release. This is an experimental film first and foremost.
Directed by Sir Anthony Hopkins and starring Hopkins, Christian Slater, John Turturro and Michael Clarke Duncan. Strand Releasing is handling the theatrical distribution (limited late in October) while Sony has dibs on the DVD.

Am so ashamed of myself now.

...and if his directing is like his acting in "Magic" then this should be very bizarre
-
Existential screwball hilarity ensues!
-
...wasn't this a very bad late 1980's film starring Bill Paxton and Mark Hammill set in some pseudo Mad-Max type world ?

Microsoft paid him $50 bucks and bought him a gin-and-tonic at the bar last night.
-
Yeah the 'other' Eighties Sci-Fi that Luke Skywalker did. Of course SLIPSTREAM pales beside the true classic of the decade - SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE. Now 'thats' a movie!

Kneel before the Overdog, and prepare to be ravished by the Piranha women. That movie put me off Molly Ringwold for life.

Spacehunter was cool(almost) in 3-d.
Ahhh,Jaws 3d,Jason 3d,Amityville 3d,Spacehunter,.......
Why they never released with glasses on DVD,Ill never know.
I like 3d.....but they all suck story wise.
Best scene from them all.....Jaws,when the guy's bitten arm floated off screen...
Sweet sweet 80's cheese -
...his first time out?
-
Then again I don't get the "genius" of David Lynch or Crispin Glover's fucked up spectacles on film. Not every story told on film has to be straight forward with the a happy ending, but for someone to film a mish mash of shit that no one really understandss except the writer/director does not make them a genius.
-
I agree in principle, but I think Lynch deserves a little more credit than you give him, at least for some of his earlier work, like THE ELEPHANT MAN, BLUE VELVET and WILD AT HEART - basically, the movies with narratives. Lynch didn't really start sucking until LOST HIGHWAY. He got it back for a split-second with THE STRAIGHT STORY, but then fell back into the shit with the shockingly overrated MULHOLLAND DRIVE. I have INLAND EMPIRE at home right now, and I'm kind of dreading watching it because it sounds like the most self-indulgent one yet, on a theme that he's already mined in three of his last four movies. And I'm horrified that he's renouncing film in favor of digital video. To me, that means it isn't even going to look like a Lynch movie, but I guess we'll see what we'll see.

Although, I admit I only had it 1/2 - 2/3 figured out at the end. All right, a few hours after the end. And then I went to Salon.com which had a detailed analysis of the movie, and I figured out the rest. I like a film you can figure out if you think about it.
-
I want to see it.
-
I have tried and tried to find something, anything online about the behind the scenes / making of Jaws 3-D but alas I have come up empty. It was a classic of 3-D !
-
That one in the '80s was sooooo bad ...
How bad was it?
I figure the only reason they made it was so the director could write his hobby (ultralight aircraft) off on his taxes as a "business expense."
Shoot, Mark Hammil as the airborne terminatling. I'd buy that for a nickle ... but not a penny more.
