Here's a Poster Featuring Downey As SHERLOCK HOLMES...
Merrick here...
Latino Review has posted an image of Robert Downey Jr. as SHERLOCK HOLMES - from a poster which is evidently on display at ShoWest at this time.

Like the poster!
-
If Guy Ritchie weren't involved, I'd be excited.
-
(at least until I hit the refresh button)
-
welcome to earff
-
He fights the evil flying moriarties with his sword cane and kung-fu moves! Script by Guy Ritchie and Grandmadonna, based on Grandmadonna's beloved mystic book of Kabblablablah.
-
Anyone else thinks he looks like the Invisible Man from League of
Extraordinary Gentlemen? -
You stole my thunder. That looks like the recycled wardrobe from Van Helsing.
-
That also kind of reminds me of Van Helsing.
By the way, how common were dark sunglasses in Victorian England? -
I knew it looked familiar!
-
I really like that this production is trying to go beyond the accepted Hollywood image of Holmes. He's got the pipe, but it's not a calabash. And there's no deerstalker. But RDJ still projects a Sherlockian quality. I'm very encouraged!
-
I completely agree. I don't mind Ritchie so much nowadays, but he has a certain shtick he does well, and anything NOT in that vein he does not-so-well. On the plus side, if he IS successful, I'll be more likely to be pleasantly surprised.
-
Looks like it came out of one of those label makers. Are they paying graphic designers anymore, or is this all just done by someone's son that "knows photoshop real good".
-
he reminds me of Bob Odenkirk in the 3X1-1 sketches on Mr. Show.
-
Saw this yesterday
-
Really looking forwrd to this one
-
People with sensitive eyes sometimes wore tinted or smoked glass spectacles, but they weren't common. And they are out-of-character for Holmes. But this is a reimagining, right? Let's get all "From Hell" on Holmes!
-
Holmes brawling in a bit of fisticuffs. Downey looked as fit, if not more, than he did in Iron Man.Its sad that I had to catch a behind the scenes peek of this on such a entertain-whats going on with The Hills-ment program.
-
Jude Law as Watson? That turd-lung ruins most everything he's in.
Christs crotch! Fucking Keanu can nearly emote with more sincerity.
Even still, I trust RDJ and Guy R. to turn in a competent film/performance. -
According to wikipedia (I know, I know) they were becoming widespread by the 1900s, which definitely overlaps with Holmes' era.
-
"The Future Begins" wtf? PHAIL!
-
A sophisticated Victorian drug addict would be drinking laudanum, though those who had travelled in Asia might've tried smoking hashish or opium. Though, in the books, Holmes did cocaine and morphine, legal and easily available at the time.
-
Thanks DennisMM.
Yeah, I think I have just ODed on dark Victorian sunglasses from DRACULA, VAN HELSING, LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, etc. From all the movies you'd think Ray Ban was a medieval monk who designed the eyewear we see today. -
He is gonna turn your ass out!
-
Let RDJ be RDJ. I'm very looking forward to this movie though.
-
... again.
-
I'm excited about this movie, but this poster makes it look like a fucking biopic on a dead rapper.
Proof: http://tiny.cc/UdKHB -
That is all.
-
They didn't have polarized lenses. Certain colors were believed to correct particular vision problems or light sensitivity. These had been around since the mid 1700's, though utilizing colored lenses for various purposes goes back much further.
-
...I weep for the current state of movie poster art. Obviously they're trying to sell Sherlock as some hip, cool crime fighter that looks like Tony Stark as opposed to the true character.
-
of tinted spectacles.
-
Gay hat.
-
Poorly composed and poorly cobbled together. Who's doing all this "designing" these days? I have to agree with whoever above me said Photoshop hack job.
-
anything with Jude Law I'm a little doubtful about these days. He hasn't been good since Closer. And Clive Owen ripped him a new asshole in that.
-
Never thought I'd see Sherlock Holmes looking so hip. I'm very interested in seeing Downey's take on the super-sleuth. I've always been a Holmes fan and am glad to see his return. Looking forward to Decembe!
-
Jude Law is a complete waste of space. he has an even gayer voice than Pierce Brosnan and can act about as well as my left arse cheek. this could have been a good concept for a film, ruined by one very bad casting decision.
-
Can see the meeting with some extremely gay producers and production designers now. Ohhhhh let's update this make it more now, ohhhhhh Let's dress him up like Prince!! Ohhhh your soooo naughty yeah screw the Victorian age. Ohhhhhh let's give him a soul patch. Ohhhhh hints of purple definately hints of purple!!! British Plaid oh God no

by emperor_was_a_jerk
Of all the sites that link to other sites for news, Aint It Cool is my favorite!
-
needs bling
-
Oh, no, wait - That's the 90's version of Downey Jr. That must be just pot.
-
This is the first thing I've seen thats making me really hesitant about seeing this. I was excited to see Robert Downey and Jude Law in this, but now it looks like its Wild Wild West or something. Hoping something else will come along and put me to ease, and soon.
-
Good poster. Let's hope the film doesn't suck.
-
It was all a dream, I used to read Collier's Magazine.
=P -
What's with those faggy glasses?
-
Can't wait for Holmes to take on Moriarty's giant steampunk spider.
-
thank you holywood for fuckin another one classic book character
-
That font and style is all wrong. It should an be old english font.... Slightly concerned
-
But this is still my number 1 most anticipated movie of 2009.
-
Slapped together by some creatively braindead designer. And is it too much to ask for a Star Trek poster to show, I dunno, stars in outer space?
-
Wow. Not looking good.
-
... I'd be very afraid. They can have a stupid ass poster, a crappy trailer, and I'd STILL go see this opening day because the Moriarty interviews made it sound amazing.
-
But Sherlock Holmes DS9 sucked and SHerlock Holmes Voyager sucked. Don't you see? They need to reinvent the franchise for modern movie-goers. Oh wait, wrong franchise. I don't know what the hell they're doing here.
-
I wasn't expecting a deerstalker cap and Inverness coat(Holmes wouldn't wear such outdoorsy kit in the city,) but this is a little too far in the opposite direction. Unless he's in some sort of disguise -- and a series of teaser posters showing RDJ in various Holmesian "disguises" might be cool -- this is nobody's idea of Sherlock Holmes. A frock suit, overcoat, and top hat would have been just fine, together with a clean-shaven chin. At this point, the only hope I have for this previously much-anticipated project stems directly from Moriarty's interviews.
-
this is going to be so rubbish.
-
Why the hell would they make him look like this or think we would think it cool? If they're going to give him this extreme a makeover, they better explain it (ie, disguise) or just forget about the original character and do their own thing.
-
I am a HUGE Sherlock fan, read all the Conan Doyle stories and many, many of the pastiches. I think this could be spectacular and I'm so glad they're not going with the trite deerstalker cap. I know what I'm doing on Christmas.
-
Xmas day release?fuck that's a long wait
-
How did he NOT get tapped for Watson?
-
hannah montana poster!:)
-
Downey Jr would be great in an audio version...bad casting for the film. he isn't the type. Stunt.
-
But other stuff I've seen for this still has me interested. There have been a few awesome movies that had shitty posters so I'm not gonna hold this against it.
-
What was with Downey on talk shows promoting Iron Man and saying the reason he had a mustache was because he was shooting this movie?
-

What? No link to buy this on Amazon Merrick?
by nobody_touches_buddy_revell
-
To me Brett is and always will be Sherlock Holmes until the day I die. As for this version, I think I'll wait for it to come on Netflix. Downy looks more like Oscar Wilde rather than Sherlock Holmes.
-
Looks like a terrible VHS cover.
-
The only word to describe Sherlock Holmes as (as others have quite rightly pointed out) a frikkin pimp! Now all I need to hear is some publicity hack describe the film as 'Edgier' to know it will be an abomination.
-
this is a big stretch. Basil Rathbone for me is the one and only Sherlock Holmes.
-
I really like RDJ alot....but....I just can't get over the feeling that he really doesn't fit this role at all. He's not Sherlock Holmes, man.
And yet the movie intrigues me
nonetheless.
-
would be better casting. Except Downey's not British.
-
Now there's your flippin' Sherlock Holmes, you wankers.
-
Viggo would be a perfect Holmes.
I do think RDJ and JL will have excellent chemistry, and that counts for a lot. -
That robertdowney jr can understand it
-
That robertdowney jr can understand it
-
is considered definitive, it makes sense to have him look unique. And, the aquiline nose described in the book probably would've looked fake as a prosthetic. No sense casting based on looks.
-
RDJ can make any role fun. He's incredibly charismatic and I'm all for a reimagining of older material.
-
RDJ may turn in an Oscar-award winning performance, but this guy looks nothing like Sherlock Holmes. Imagine if they made Iron Man look like the Tin Man, but had the same quality performances... it's the same thing. If he doesn't LOOK like the character in any way, you're losing half of your audience.I'm just not buying into this whole "Victorian hipster" thing they're going for and it certainly doesn't make me believe this is the Sherlock Holmes of print and screen we've all come to know and love. So far, this is completely SHINO and far too close to Van Helsing in look for my comfort. :(
-
..."LISA YOU A TEARING ME APART!"
-
No one will ever beat Basil Rathbone. He is Sherlock Holmes.
-
Not a very cool poster.

~sherlock homeboy -
Coulda used some iconic imagery if you ask me.
-
Sunglasses were first invented in China around the 15th century, and were made of polished gem stones. In the 18th century, westerners began tinting lenses. So, it's quite possible for Holmes to have sunglasses.
-
this take on Holmes. I dont trust Ritchie at all (Revolver, Swept Away), and the script is quite generic. I love RDJ though and i think he's a ballsy choice. But others I really hate Jude Law, the other British Keanu Reeves. Geez..why did nt they just cast Orlando Bloom if they wanted a plank of wood as Holme's partner?
-
My family bites, that's why I usually watch a movie with my girl. Aviator, AVP: Requiem. Last year while I was waiting for Requiem I snuck into I robot real quick to see The Dark Knight trailer; I had already seen the 6 minute IMAX intro. Now this year I get to see the all around best young actress today (looks, beauty, intelligence, talent, and box-office appeal) Rachel McAdams. I hope there's a solo poster with her and an article too. I've never seen her look hotter like I have on the State of Play poster; and all they have of her is her pretty head.
-
it looks too much like robert downy jr. (really, it's distracting), and he's wearing sunglasses. WTF?
-
smack a ho!....lmes.
-
I eat my words. Months ago I posted that this was a waste of a movie. WHO could possibly want to see it? And just now my 8-yr old son peered over my shoulder at the poster and was like "Wow! I can't wait to see that. I LOVE Sherlock Holmes." Hey, an audience. Oh wait. This will probably be PG-13. Damn.
-
It's a LION!!!
-
oh please... with which typeface are you tools having an issue?
please tell me it ain't the Clarendon. After all... it's obvious that this isn't going to be your stereotypical Holmes... with the typebars and all. -

Sherlock Holmes stories are dull as hell anyway
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
I won't be losing sleep over any attempts to make Holmes more interesting. He's more an interesting character in theory than practice.
-
Yup he looks like a pimp!!!!
-
Jesus, the one iconic visual, and Downey's hat looks more like a fedora. If the hat is wrong, the movie's a joke.
-
That's exactly right, he looks like a 70s street pimp. More Rudy Ray Moore than Sherlock Holmes.
-
Pimps up!!! Hoes down.
-
Man, people are gonna laugh at that poser - I mean, poster.
-
...not good.
-
Next!
-
As a certain Ontario license plate I once saw cheekily demanded, "OMGWTF"?
-
The poster is just a teaser poster
not the one they are going to use.
and I can't wait to see the Jude Law poster as Dr.Watson I think they are going to have great chemistry. -
there is a 70s pimp vibe to it lol. I think its a good idea to do Holmes in a completely different way. THE old image of the character isnt too hot with kids or young adults for the most part, so I understand an attempt to make this a Holmes for a new generation.
-
I hope you are right about the chemistry, though i think it will come mostly from RDJ, Law is a lot like Bloom for me. And he's the kiss of death to movies looking to make bank (sky captain, cold mountain etc...). Also i really dont trust ritchie with this. Personally I wish Ridly Scott was doing this. Who do you guys think would be a better choice director for Holmes, or a better Watson?

NO DEERSTALKER = NO SQUID = FLAMES ON OPTIMUS
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
rounds out to be about the square root of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION, I don't care that deerstalker's are actually a product of the original drawings and old movies and not the actual stories, since a deerstalker would only be worn out in the country and not the city, I want complete adherance to my nostalgic childhood I can never again have back
-
Ive got the script too, dont bother reading it. Its really not very good or interesting. I had to check that i was nt reading Shanghai Knights 2.1
-
Holmes is so great - just do it the way it's written. Don't fucking stylize and actionize it.
-
to you my friend, but if you read the script, thats exact;y what they have done. Actionize Holmes while dumbung down the mystery/case he has to solve so that you can see it coming a mile off. You are actually ahead of Holmes in figuring out the case, and the villains plot (becos its so fucking cliche) throughout the script....
-
I thought WB hated smoking and didn't want any of that in the movie so why is it "ok" for the poster to show Holmes smoking a pipe? I would LOVE it if they changed their minds, but I highly doubt that they actually included his smoking habits in the movie. So what's up with this??
-
'Cause, y'know, it looks crap.
-
I hated the script too...but hopefully Downey Jr had enough creative input so at least the dialogue won't suck. He's an improv genius.
-
he is the thing that makes me most intetested in this movie. Jude law is a wooden plank, Guy ritchie may or may not rise to the challenge of this, he does nt seem to be able to do anything other than quirky,tarantino style crime movies. Ok so you read the script dude, just how bad is the villain? Completely one dimensional, basically a saterday morning cartoon. Though the idea of him basically being alaister crowly is cool, just too bad bad they give him no character or motivation. And what did you think of his plan? I thought it was literally the same damn thing we saw in Shanghai Knights..
-
That upon looking at this teaser poster I know EVERYTHING about this production which won't be hitting theatres until Xmas '09.
My brilliance and extreme knowledgetude about films due largly in part to my devotion to cartoons has enabled my far seeing omniscience and authority to proclaim "laaaaaame" on this movie.
In fact I already have torrented the memory of watching the movie onto my cranial flash drive for rewatching at my displeasure.
So my review: Movie suuuuuucks! -
Completely agree with you about the villain. I haven't seen Shanghai Knights, but I agree the villain's plan in this Sherlock movie is waaaaay overdone. It's ridiculous!
-
thing about this movie dude, but when you read the script of a movie (you know..possibly the most important thing) and you have seen the directors previous work. You can get a fair idea of what something may be in terms of tone, asthetics etc...this movie has also been very open about its production with many set visits, interviews etc...Does that mean the movie will be bad? of course not, but ritchie does nt have a great track record, and for many his tarantino type style dies nt fit with Holmes. Also, have you seen Jude Law in movies before? The guy is almost always the kiss of death and he is never the reason a movie is good. But I still think that with RDJ, the attempt to do Holme sreally different, and the possibility that Ritchie may just suprise us all, that this movie could be good. Its just that with all the available info (which is actually quite a lot for a movie this far out)im on the fence with this movie.
-
was so blatantly a rip off of Batman begins lol
-
I'm not very familiar with Jude Law's movies. The only one that I can think of that I've seen is Gattaca and it was a solid movie and he played his part well, but other than that, I don't really have much of an opinion on his acting. I'm somewhat on the fence with this Sherlock movie, but I still have a bad feeling about this one. I know that the script probably changed A LOT so hopefully they made the plot more challenging and entertaining. I'm a big fan of RDJ's acting so I have high hopes for his portrayal of Holmes. I know he really respects the source material so I predict that he will do it justice...but I'm still skeptical about the movie in general.
-
Holmes fanatics actually prefer Jeremy to Basil.
-
Just for FYI Jude Law has just as
many Oscar nom as RDJ, So to say that he is not a good actor is just wrong on all level. You may not like Jude Law, But give the man his props he has range and talent as an actor. Besides in that Rachel MacAdam interview all she talks about is Watson, when they as here about the Holmes movie. -
Were used by Emperor Nero, did you know that? I read it in Ripleys Believe it or Not!
-
I had to throw his name in - I am the only one here who saw him, I know that for certain. And he was actually the top Holmes, closer to the caustic and "informally intellectual" Holmes of the stories than Brett and Rathbone were. Too bad Gates didn't manage to distribute his series widely.
Oh, as for this... yes, here comes "Van Sherlock the Iron Man versus Vampiric Victorian Villains" - although in this case, it would have been sufficient to say "Prevolver". -
I'm just not happy about it.
-
still he's doing himself any favours by being in a Guy Ritchie film
-
With the glasses thing? And they still want us to like this? God they better not trample on a legend or Guy Ritchie better think about moving to the Costa del Crime with all his beloved 'gangsters' - i.e. murderers.
-
-to be in the background holding up the Tower of London- Actually I think this could be good. I like the cast.
-
well fair enough if you like him, i dont is all. To me he is like orlando bloom, sorry i dont see the range you speak of. And he certainly was nt convincing as an action hero in sky captain. Nor was he convincing as Southerner in cold mountain, and im not even American but i could tell his accent was bad. And since when did oscar noms make someone a good actor. The oscars are so political do they reallymean anything? And so what if RMCA talks alot about Law? Making of docs for promotional purposes are always full of back slapping and he's so great, he's so wonderful etc...
-
one getting upset im not negative about this movie. I am a Holmes fan. I am a RDJ fan, im hoping this movie is good, all im saying like many is that there are several things that are worrying...
-
both becos of his age (as the trend is to reboot everything young now), becos he does not physically resemble the publics perception of Holmes, and mostly becos he is American (I can see sooo many brits getting really pissed off about that one lol)And I think they are doing the right thing by going for something completely new and different, even if Holmes does look like a pimp in that poster (though I actually likethe poster, sooo much better than that godawful star trek one)
-
He's the dude PLAYIN' the dude that LOOKS LIKE the other dude!
-
Stop. using. all. caps
-
He will kick Moriarty ass
-
last night for the first time. Damn funny, and RDJ was fucking awsome..what do you mean "you people?"...lol

Jude Law has been terrible in everything but Gattaca
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Granted he was very good in that. And he does look pretty badass as Watson. But I'll never forgive him for his whimpering bitch of a performance in The Holiday. I'll also never forgive myself for watching it.
-
Is that he didn't star as Veidt in Watchmen. He LOOKS fucking perfect for that role, and has the slightly up his own ass 'posh' voice for it. It'd easily be his defining role.
-

Jude Law = AI, Mr Ripley, Gattaca, Cold Mountain, Perdition
by col. tigh-fighter
Plus loads others. The guy can act! So we have 2 acting heabyweights slugging it out in a new Holmes film from Guy Richie "Are you not entertained?"
-
I have never heard of this character. Is he from one a them comics?More films should be made about this Sherlock Holmes fellow so I can fully appreciate whatever it is that is good about him.You know another character they should make more films about? Robin Hood. I've never heard of this Robin Hood, who seems to have been woefully under-represented in terms of films and television series. They should get some sort of hit-and-miss director/actor partnership to make a film about this Robin Hood.
-
Jude Law is best at playing cunts. Gattaca, The Talented Mr Ripley, I Heart Huckabees, Road To Perdition.Cunts are this guy's bread and butter, in more ways than one.

-
Nay sayer check your hate at the door.
-
I find it uncomfortable to watch her do acting, since she appears to be so malnourished that I spend the whole film worrying that she is about to pass out.Scenes with stairs are especially troubling to watch. Watch your step, Rachel McAdams! Your blood sugar is dangerously low!

I've just got some work and am reading about Jacqui Smith's wank addicted husband.

Apparently, there have been over 200 Holmes films
by franklin t marmoset
That's even more than Wong Fei Hung, and yet Wong Fei Hung is much, much cooler.What's the big deal about this Sherlock Holmes, anyway? He's just a shit rip-off of Columbo, or possibly that old bird off Murder She Wrote.
-
"All rise."
Judge: "Okay whaddayagot for me this morning. Mr Prosecutor ?"
CPS Stooge: "Number one on your list, Sir. Mr Timney"
Timney ? You mean the wanker.
The, ah, wanker, Sir, thats correct.
This is the guy married to someone famous ?
The, ah, home seckatry,Sir.
Youre shitting me ? Right?
No, Sir, sorry Sir, the very same…..
The UK home seckatry, used to cook in the school up the road ??? The lardball??
Ms Schmidt, Sir.
Fuck me, hes married to the home fucking seckatry. And it says here that this porn, these was five pounds a go shit, not one pound fifty like I, I mean as other people pay. Five pounds? What was this shit ? Gorillas ? I seen some a that Gorilla porn, Jeez, they must need some handling, some feeding, too. Can understand how thatd cost a fiver. So there you was, wanking over that Gorilla shit, not very nice, and the Court takes a dim view, and what happens, the Old Bill arrive?
No, Sir, it wasnt like that. The accused was trying to claim the cost of the Gorilla filth, through his wifes parliamentary expenses, he was actually wanting the home office to buy him his porn. He was wanking, really, your worship, in our faces; yours and mine.
He was fucking well what? He was having a Jay Arthur all over you and me? The dirty fucking bastard. Hes going away, the fucking degenerate bastard. I never heard shit like this. Twenty years on this Bench and I never heard a no bastard getting his rocks off over interspecies porn and dumping his load in the taxpayer kisser. Hes a beardy nonce, isnt he. He looks the type. Hes pleading guilty, I take it?
Well, Sir, he was caught with his trousers down round his ankles, so theres not much else he can do.
You, Timney, you fucking arsehole. Anything to say before you go to jail.
Yes, your worship, if I can just read to the Court from this letter I write to the Redditch Advertiser every week……….Frau Schmidt is an excellent constituency MP and me and our children have never met her, she lives in a broom cupboard in London, working hard for the people of Redditch, the stupid fucking bastards. I would ask you to have some mercy on me because I am a serial offender and the taxpayer will pay back all the money which me and Frau Schmidt have stolen from him over the years. Will I get SkyFilth Movies in prison ?
-
an acting heavyweight? Ala pacino, de nero, Bale, Norton etc...Oh well to each their own I guess. Im sorry but Law is no acting heavyweight. He seems to be only good at playing smarmy cunts. In that role he excels. He was good in Gattaca, road to perdition and AI, but neither of those movies depended on him. Where a movie has depended on him ala cold mountain, sky captain etc.. he has had all the charisma of a deflating balloon. He seems to only work as a character actor, in roles where the whole movie does not hinge on his charisma or acting ability. So maybe he will be fine as Watson then since Holmes is always the focus anyway.
-
As a concerned tax payer, I demand to know what films this guy is trying to get me to pay for. There's a sequel to that Pirates porno out, maybe it was that one. If so, that's just not right. I haven't even seen that yet.
-
But thats the problem with Hollywood, they are almost completely unwilling to take chances on new and fresh ideas. Its either reboot long existing franchises, remake old movies, or do the 800th adaptation of something like robin hood (seriously Ridly? do we really need another??) or Holmes (im a fan but there has just been so many movies and tv shows...)
-
qual, remake, reboot, or adaptation...where is the next matrix, tron, aliens, terminator etc...Something we have nt seen before?

southafricanguy your horn are showing you should check your hat
by bigmoney
Also Sean Penn just called and said that he is comming over to give you a good talking to.
-
"Would I do the same?"And I have to admit that, yes, I would totally claim for porn under my wife's expenses if that was an available option. I would also submit claims for booze and fags, and maybe even hookers. That last one might be stretching things a bit, but it's possibly worth a go. Free hookers? Who's going to turn down free hookers?I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of that tax-funded prostitution. I bet that's the good stuff right there.
-
I dont get what you are saying about me, are you saying im evil/or a hater becos I dont see the appeal of Jude Law? Lighten up dude, its nothing personal, its just that for me he is one of many actors that for me has no screen presence (orlando bloom et al) is only works as a character actor, but have become leading men becos of their looks. And in that sense I agree with you he should do fine in Holmes as the movie will depend more on RDJ, so no problems there. And theres Rachel Mc Adams who is useally always good too...
-
One was certainly "Raw Meat 3" which means I suspect, that he's also exied Raw Meats 1 and 2- because you would, let's face it. Raw Meat is Gay porn, which makes the whole thing funnier.
-
It is funny that my first post was about the poster that most the people on this board said it dose not look like Holmes. I just said that they are not going to use that poster and that it is just a teaser poster there will be others and I was looking forward to the one with Jude Law on it. I guess the last sentence hit a nerve,because you then proceed to go on and on about how much you don't like Jude Law. and anyone who had any thing postive to say about Jude Law. Only enrage you.
Now my reply to you is: You need to lighten up. its nothing personal I'm not trying to convince anyone to like Jude Law nor am I trying to bash other actors in this movie to make my favorite actor look more superior. -
I wouldn't be surprised, Politicians are like Rock Stars - to them it isn't gay, it's just thinking outside the box.
-
Marlon Brando and John Goodman are acting heavyweights. Jude Law's the guy who didn't play Veidt.
-
Really, you have to view the Raw Meat trilogy in the correct order, or else you'd have no clue what the hell was going on.On a marginally connected note, I had a pizza last night and was slightly uncomfortable while ordering it. "I'll have the 9 inch Meaty One, please" is what I said.It was pretty damn tasty, that 9 inch meaty one.
-
God, everytime I hear her name/see her I start thinking of Al Murry's 'God, you'd have to be drunk wouldn't you.' See those big clown lips coming at you.... FUCK, there's taking one for the team and then there's being a fucking Saint.
-
Never a good idea to start in the middle.
-
(despite being 5' 7" and a Light Heavy at best)Does that make him an acting heavyweight?
-
did you know that they put over £87m quid on expenses last year. Motherfuckers. Frank- just as well you didn't order from Domino's or that would have been 9 inch MIGHTY meaty.
-
jude law based on what you said about the poster, i did nt even read your post. My remarks came out of my discussion with other talkbackers who have read the script, and what we do and dont like about the movie. I think you seem to be under the mistaken impression that i was attacking you or any other talkbacker. Anything i said was purely debate, you may have noticed i did not attack yo personally. So please dont use words like "enraged", nothing could be further from the truth dude, If you like jude law, more power to u. Sorry, but i was not responding to you when i started voiceing my opinion of Jude Law, and you certainly did not hit any nerve as i was nt responding to you initially...ok?
-
(he was in Rocky V)Is he the one true acting heavyweight?
-
I must get around to doing that Rocky box set I paid over the odds for and then just left to gather dust.Stupid impulse buying!
-
I'm saving up for the worst day of all time, then buying some whisky and watching the Rocky films back to back till I pass out from awesome.
-
Is making me want another pizza.I don't think we have a Domino's around our way, or I would totally go for some of that mighty meaty action.
-
my posts that were respones to other talkbackers. Please dont try to start a fight when there really is nt one...
-
YOU GONNA TRASH OUR TALKBACK.
-
All 6 Rockys in one day would be a prefect combination of stupid and awesome.But, let's be honest with each other here, you'll never do it. You are the inventor of the magnificently dumb 500 films in a year challenge, and you were the first one to give up! Me and Jarv are into triple figures. How many have you seen? 12?Lightweight!
-
That sounds like a challenge.
-
That'd be pushing 11 hours of drinking whisky. I'd have to pace myself.
-
I'm missing Rocky Balboa, sadly. But I reckon I can the first five flicks in one day, with whisky.
-
Fucking interesting guy. Look it up.
-
And possibly more in danger of brain damage than Rocky himself after he fought Ivan Drago.
-
I'd just buy a 35cl bottle of whisky, some lemonade, have a blast. Then post the audio highlights.
-
Got fucking hammered by Ray Mercer. Look that up.
-
I'd be done by 4am.
-
My maths sucks.
-
Even without the whiskey, 6 films in a row is much more than I can handle.Add whiskey into the equation and I would mostly likely be in a very sorry state by Rocky III.It would make a decent drinking game, though - take a drink every time Rocky hits the canvas.
-
The trick is to pace yourself. So a mixer for each half of each film. Then it's just ten mixers.
-
When you consider Dr. Watson is his bitch! Read Hound of the Baskervilles and you'll know what I mean.

I think Danny's done all 6 Star Wars back to back
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
If that can be done, then the Rocky saga can be done. And c'mon. A normal sized bottle (700ml) of Wild Turkey would fit perfectly into an 11 hour marathon. There's 20 odd standard drinks in one of those bad boys. That's only 3 or 4 per Rocky. Order yourself a mighty meaty after Rocky 1 and then again after Rocky 4 and you're set. Might try this some time.
-
if watched in narrative order would require too much Alcohol to make it through to the good ones and then Jedi would be a blur.

I've done 2 back-to-back triple features this year
by franklin t marmoset
And in both of them - Evil-Dead-A-Thon and Mad-Max-A-Thon - I found myself getting pretty fidgety and bored during the third film. I was just kind of tired of sitting there watching the same characters and wanted to piss off and do something else.So, you will have my respect if you can do all 6 (or even 5) in one go. That would be an impressive feat of stunt film-watching.
-
That is impressive.I have absolutely no desire to ever see the prequels again, and I'm not even sure I can be bothered with the original trilogy these days.Hats off to you, Danny.
-
Is dating Jennifer Love Hewitt? Sometimes it makes you wonder why you even try? I mean I don't hate the guy, but he's pretty much useless.
-
...when doing the Office Space/Big Lebowski double feature the other week. Really, I was fucking hammered, and I paid for it mightily the next day. So I assumed that if I got THAT drunk while watching 2 films, there is a very good chance I would die while drinking and watching 6.
-
Is some actor who decided he was getting too famous too quickly back in like 94 so he didn't take as many roles. I guess he was in Batman Begins, yeah so famous I've never heard of him. Ummm this guy sounds like a douche just trying to get publicity for himself.
-
see you tomorrow
-
Balls, why am I not off now?I wish I was off now.

What's with you bastards and your early knock offs?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
More importantly, where's MY bloody early knock offs!? Cunts.
-
Rocky Balboa is missing. So I can only do the first five.
-
But four of the seven suck.
-
holmes a gangsta? this is fake i call fake coz its beyond trash and i will never go see a movie with a poster like that.
-
that hat is from the 40s or whatever, back then in 1800s he wore that London pretentious hat thing that is not stylish at all.
-
It's an official poster. You can say it's awful, but it can't be fake because it's an OFFICIAL FUCKING POSTER. A fake would be a photoshop done by someone not officially tasked to do it, then posited as the real thing.
-
What's that?
-
It's strange.Now, if Sherlock Holmes actually was gangsta, that is a version of the character I could get behind. Snoop Dogg, clearly, would be the man to cast in that."This investigizzle is testing my nizzle, fo shizzle!""Elementary, my dear nigga."And so on.
-
I think its A Nightmare on Elm Street. Didn't you just watch those Zedd?
-
A Nightmare On Elm Street.It's true, 1, 3 and 7 are the only ones worth watching. The other 4 are pretty shitty.I've done 8 in one weekend - all the Alien/Predator/Alien Vs Predator films - but I didn't do them back to back. Breaks to go and do other things were very necessary there, especially once I got down to those AvP monstrosities. Also, I got quite drunk to help me get through AvP: Requiem, and it was still shit.
-
I'm hoping the Jeremy Brett version doesn't overshadow my expectations. The '84 - '94 series is now entirely on YouTube for those interested. Amazing performances there.
-
Good for you, droid.
-
And Flavor Flav as Watson. Holmes: "Elementary my dizzle Wizzle." Watson: "YEAH BOY!"
-
...The 13 Days Of Friday The 13th.I am still sad I didn't get to do that one.Maybe they'll do a sequel to the remake and release that on Friday 13th. That would give me a second chance to do it, plus there would actually be 13 films to watch.Wow. It is possible I am the only person keeping his fingers crossed for a sequel to the F13 remake.
-
I doubt Snoop and Flav would actually get much investigating done, what with their weed-induced short attention spans, but it would be a funny film.
-
Mar 31, 2009 10:02:59 AM CDT
Everything Snoop Holmes says...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Flavor Watson replies "YEAH BOY!" And Flavor Watson could wear a huge one of those old-timey pocket watches around his neck.
-
Someone get me Renny Harlin's phone number. Snoop Holmes & Flavor Watson should be his next project after Astro Lesbians Vs Werewolves On The Moon.
-
Mar 31, 2009 10:09:35 AM CDT
Renny needs us in charge of his career
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
He'd be bigger than Spielberg and Cameron combined.
-
i know, this poster is suppost to be stylish and "cool" and stuff and of course "m-m-m-mystical" and D-A-A-A-R-K, but... folks, it looks so cramped, i don´t know who ever will let himself fool by that stuff. and downey is a brilliant actor, but he is not holmes, nope sir! there was only one true holmes: Jeremy Brett. maybe i would like to see hugh laurie as holmes, but downey - mistake.
-
Voila!
-
And I bet Dr. Watson will be "re-imagined" as a mortician, just to expand on the angsty gloomy vibe.
Seriously, I'd find Downey more believable as a Hardy Boy. -
Rides around London searching for that biatch Moriary in a lowriding carriage with silver wheels with a guy in the back beating on a big ass drum.
-
lame...movie should be good tho
-
The operative word being WAS...where is CGI Jeremy Brett when we need him?
-
Has anybody else seen this movie? I hadn't even heard of it until last night, but it ended up being pretty funny.
-
Get Lil Wayne to play Moriarty. old school versus new school
-
God, you guys really DO want to see me go insane in audio/video form. I'll see if I can do that.
-
Oh right..."Directed by Guy Ritchie".
-
I can't wait for the Snoop Dog/Flava-Flav version. Please tell me Coolio gets to be Moriarty.
-
That'd be as funny as my idea of casting an unfunny white comedian with Snoop Dogg in a racial cop buddy film.
-
That was LOL!
-
I like some of Richie's stuff but only parts and certain shots. Though this does really look cool for a typical Hollywood poster.
-
Werll - I'll see this 'cos I can't not see any sherlcok flick - and re-tooling it is not inherantly a bad idea. But - Jude Law. Something about him makes me always want to punch him in the face. I'm sure he's a perfectly decent bloke and all - and I know its irrational but I can't help it. Watson is one of the all time best creations and having JL playing him really puts a downer on the whole project for me
-
worst poster ever?
-
that role just belongs to Basil Rathbone...
-
i'd never see the prequels ever again. they are something to be drowned up by alcohol. But over 10 years ago i bought the VHS set of these and popped in SW in the afternoon then afterward i had nothing else to do so i said fuck it i'll watch Empire, then i figured 2 down with that cliffhanger might as well go for Jedi. When it was all over i was in awe and wonderment of this epic i just viewed.
-
Dumb. Really dumb.
-
Not to say that Rathbone was a great Holmes in his early work, but when the studios took him out of the Victorian period and put him in WW II England to fight Nazis and their spies, he lost a major amount of credibility IMO. I know it was done to help boost the moral of the English people in their dire times but still... Brett and the people at Granada kept and portrayed the full flavor and essence of the Holmes character and Conan Doyle's stories. To a new generation of Holmes fans, Jeremy Brett is and always will be Sherlock Holmes.
-
Much disagreement with me in the TB But I stand by my top actor claim as I thought the acting chops he showed in AI, Ripley, and Perdition were second to none. Thought he was fine in Cold Mountain, and I saw he first film years ago called Shopping and loved it. I reckon he could chose better stuff sometimes, but this looks right up my street. But Im someone who thinks Revolver is a criminally much maligned masterpeice lol, so I accept my opinions will be mute to some on here ;)
-
Could be good or it could end up just sucking horribly. I like RDJ and Jude Law, though, I haven't seen Jude in anything I've liked recently. Hopefully it isn't over stylized hollywood shit.
-
for you then he does. Im afraid that for many he just has that punch him in the face quality, a sort of smugness. I agree with you he was actually good in the 3 movies you mention. All casaes where he was a supporting actor. But he was very unconvincing as an action hero in sky captain, I did not buy him in cold mountain, and he was simply annoying in closer,alfie, and the holiday. And since you liked revolver, what are your thoughts on Swept Away then?
-
and isn't he American?
-
Man I've been wanting to see Color Me Kubrick for like ever. I thought it was about Kubrick so I didn't think it was going to be that good. But now that you've explained it to me, because I am too lazy to read a plot synopsis off of IMDbizzle now I really want to see it. He has another movie out right now called the Great Buck Howard that i really want to give the ole looky loo as well. NEW BANGO TANGO tomorrow. The ending of issue 2 made me say, praise Allah for Fu forcing me to read it. Have you picked up Air yet?
-
But those great performances will not vanish from the earth when this new take arrives. Will I like it? We'll see.
-
I told you that second issue gets a lot better. That last page was hilariously brutal.Color Me Kubrick was actually much better than I thought it would be. I have a lot more respect for Malkovich for actually acting now than I do most all other actors working today. He's nuts in that movie. I'm a little turned off by the Great Buck Howard, just because it has Tom Hanks son or something (I think) but I will probably see it if it ever winds up in front of me.Did you read the latest Daredevil yet? Bru's always been writing that book pretty well, but I think he finally has hit his stride with this one.I just picked up a bunch of issues I had on hold today. Cap, Secret Warriors, Agents of Atlas, Herc, Guardians of the Galaxy, and a really shitty latest issue of Fantastic Four. I am debating whether or not to drop that book. I sort of want to see where the next arc goes, but at the same time, I'm kind of thinking, "Shit this is not worth three bucks." Can you tell yet why I'm so poor at the end of every month?And if you're not reading Iron Fist, shame on you. I have yet to read a bad issue of that book, which is miraculous considering Bru dropped out, and the latest issue wasn't even part of the actual storyline. It's just top notch every month.
-
He's great. AND he kicked Errol Flynn's ass.
-
How is Air?
I just looked it up and realized I used to know the author! -
I'll ask the shop guy tomorrow. I'm going back anyway to pick up some more back issues of the original Howard the Duck comic. That shit is amazing.
-
I heard that it was a bad issue. I myself have put that comic on hold, I am still buying them. Just because I missed issue #558 SOOO i'm a little behind. I did however put issue #161 as my #10 comic of last year based on the Variant cover only. I should just say fuck it and read on, but I heard that issue 558 was the best. Secret Warriors I can't wait to read I got it, I am a huge Hickman fan. Yes I picked up the last 2 Daredevil, haven't read them though. Haven't been reading Iron Fist either, I was already going and I know its good I am going to pick up the trades. Have you picked up Air? Like the first trade just came out and its only $9 and I think its the first 5 issues, and the last one was only $1. I think you would like, its like Bango Tango just not as violent more fantasy. Though I haven't read the last two issues because the last issue ended with something pretty lame, if you read it you'll see. I need to check out and see if that lame ending was just my dislike of what I thought was about to happen or what. Seriously check it out.
-
How old is the series? I guess he had a miniseries during Marvel Zombies and I ended up picking up issue 1 variant in a $1 box. Have you read any of the Zombie series? I've got Zombies 3 just because I dug the covers so much but I haven't read them. I haven't read Samurai either, did you see that?
-
sorry if that came across as name-drop-style....been a shit day, sooo any reason to get excited sounds pretty good. sort of pointless to post though!
-
I got the first Marvel Zombies series on harback trade, and also got a book with all the Zombie covers that artist ever made. If you really like the covers, it's worth hunting down. It's like the coolest coffee table book I own.The last TWO issues of Daredevil. Those would be great back to back. Kingpin is some kind of muse for Brubaker, I swear.I just finished the second issue of Secret Warriors. It's great. Agents of Atlas is cool too, but has more of a retro feel to it, which I actually kinda dig more.It says on the issue, I think Howard the Duck came out in 76? Anyway, my shop has like numerous copies of the whole series up to issue 16 or something, so I plan to eventually grab a copy of the whole thing. I have only read the first page of the first issue so far, but it has Howard contemplating suicide. So I'm pretty sure I already like this book.I have the whole Samurai. It was expensive, but had some of the most beautiful art I have seen in a comic in awhile. Story was so-so though.
-
I was looking through all of them at the shop. It's basically just a lot of 70s surreal satire, but it has cameos with some of the big Marvel guys (like Spidey). The single issues, if in okay condition, only cost around five dollars each, so if any of that sounded remotely interesting, it wouldn't be a huge investment.
-
Yeah that fucking thing was expensive. At least the trade was the same price as buying the comics. I haven't read it buy I really dig the are. Did you read that Wolverine by that same French Marvel group? I've skimmed through Agents of Atlas and haven't liked what I saw, though I read a preview and thought it was ok, but my comic load right now is pretty big. Like I think there are 10-20 comics coming out tomorrow that I have no money to buy.
-
I am gonna try to pick up all the old Micronaughts and Spawn issues eventually. Thats like my comic life goal.
-
Did you read my short story over on Marva's site?
-
Trouble is, I like em all, so I can't figure out what to drop! any suggestions?I haven't read your short story yet, but I promise I will. I'm back in school now so I'm busy reading 90 pages about Shakespeare. I have been wanting to read that though.
-
a comics column on one (both?) of the sites. What do you think? My work load is pretty heavy, but if I could find time, I would totally do that.
-
Just watch the Kenneth Branagh movie. Yeah I know what you mean about dropping anything. I keep trying to tell meself JUST WAIT FOR THE TRADE JUST WAIT FOR THE TRADE, but it never works. As for any suggestions I'd say anything DC, just becacuse I'm not reading any of there stuff except Vigilante and The Mighty. Though I did pick up that Commissioner Gordon one shot, not realizing that it really isn't a one shot that its part of this Battle For the Cowl. Man i don't know how anyone can keep up with both Universes, I find myself levitating more towards independent stuff, and miniseries.
-
I would like to write about comics, but being so new to it I feel lost sometimes. Also I don't know where Echo and all them get all this time to write, I mean I only have a part time job as well and I can't keep up with them. Maybe me and you could do a small weekly comic thing on Marva's?
-
I like them a lot but I feel that they skip over a lot of comics.
-
I'm already pretty burned out on all the Dark Reign bull shit. I actually find Dark Avengers to be hilarious, but Thunderbolts is pretty boring. And I like Daredevil because it's actually funny, but the quality needs to go up, and he's getting a lot of exposure for a character a little one dimensional. The only other Marvel books I read are all on the fringe of the universe. The last Herc has Osborn, so I'm dropping it too. That motherfucker is in everything now, and it's pissing me off.For DC I had Batman for awhile (now dropped), but mostly all I read is Vertigo stuff. I'm kind of Vertigos bitch at the moment, seeing as how like four of their books are my must-haves every week.
-
Let's just keep in touch. You tell me what you want to review and I'll do the same (dibs on Bang Tango and Bad Dog) and we can just go from there. Also, I think we should try to do them the day they are released, if not maybe a little later. It would be a little tough, but I think it's an admirable goal.
-
Also seeing that we won't be getting any advance things. I'll shot you a message on Zhura with my e-mail. Wanna see if we can get something together tomorrow?
-
Let's do it! I'll check everything getting released, and let you know what I PLAN on getting. What I BUY may differ though, depending on what gets released. Bang Tango for sure though, hopefully.
-
Gotta watch it with the lady, so I'll be gone for a bit. But beware when I come back I may be a little nutty, Marley and Me has been known to cause loopyness.
-
Are you capable of posting on the site? I know I can't.
-
Will be the flagship launch.
-
Do we need to double team it?
-
If you send me yours, I will email you the ones I plan to review.
-
Kung and Series...if you email me through z-dive, I'll throw your stuff up on there. I'm gonna be up most of the night working on stuff.
-
thanks. I will probably do that at some point tomorrow, so them expect them some time early afternoon. I will do them one at a time, so feel free to post them as they come. Then, maybe later, we can combine them into a feature. I have no idea how any of that shit works, but I'm sure you'll know what's best?
-
you can put it up as you want. I've just started a 30 days, 30 films, 30 years of horror thing over there. Each day a different obscure horror from each of the 30 years since 1979. I'm writing the first as we speak.
-
I emailed you back on your hotmail account. Hopefully everything is clear. Damn, I already feel like I need to get paid again looking at all the books getting released.
-
It's as funny as it was the first time I saw it. It has this sort of vintage 70s style in the scenes with Danny Glover. The whole cast besides the leads were the people that lived in the city where they filmed, and it's a pretty brilliant idea. The whole city has a lot more character because of the supporting cast locals.
-
A Great Director.
-
is that the attitude about the extinction of tapes because of DVDs is the same way I feel about the jump to BluRay vs. continuing to buy DVDs. And in the end, it ends up just being a message to people to make their own movies. All the creative ways they recreate the moments from stuff like Ghostbusters, especially if you consider the ludicrous things they do, like printing out pictures of their faces to film with negative light. Jack Black should star as Jackie Chan in the next Rush Hour movie.
-
I want that to be my next screen name.
-
that looks like it lasts for about five mintues of screen time, which is pretty amazing. Just thinking about how he did that and all the camera tricks he used is so interesting. You just have to see it.
-
Did you read all that stuff about Gondry and his Neighborhood themed movies idea? That Phillippe Petit reminds me of Gondry, just that Gondry is more relevant and not just some over hype documentary.
-
Fucking god awful movie. I don't know who this was meant for. You are an idiot if you fall for it, it has the most undeserved ending ever in movie history. My lady friend gave it to middle fingers up. It WAS so bad, if they just put have the effort in the rest of the film that they did in the last 5-10 minutes it may have been something. They mention some stories about how Marley sat beside while a kid was sick, and I am thinking???? why wasn't that in the movie I bet its in the book. Just a terrible hateful fill. The whole time I was watching it I couldn't get it out of my head how this dickhole has made MILLIONS upon MILLIONS for just being a douchebag who was too lazy to train his dog. I watched the whole movie with my dog laying on my chest as well. I mean that LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST montage was just so stupid. I hate the fact that they put all this time and effort to make the set pieces progress through the age and time period, but they didn't bother aging the humans. Also they didn't let us know anything about the dogs age, by the end of the movie I wasn't sure if the dog was 10 or 30? Which is a huge difference. Just an awful film. I can't believe how much money the whole thing made. All this film made me want to do is not own a big dog. Go watch My Dog Skip or CJ7, yeah that movie had an undeserved ending as well but at least its a damn good movie with a real message. All Marley and Me said was that people are too wrapped up in themselves to give a shit about anyone else. No wonder America is so full of assholes. I'm going to bed.
-
gonna watch Wolverine?
-
You can just tell from the movie. All those kids weren't actors, and the movie was shot on location. I'm pretty sure it was Gondry's idea to do that, and it's what really makes the movie work.
-
Yeah fuck Harry for writing about that movie. I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna ignore that rant he wrote on here and never see that movie.
-
I still need to see that. I suppose I could check the library.
-
No after the movie, I think maybe he wrote a book. They had an article about on here a while back, it pretty much tells you have to a make a community involved movie. I guess Be Kind Rewind was going to be something else but the whole community got involved and that is what plays out on screen. Like Gondry said that if people said they were serious about making a film in the fashion he set out then he would let them borrow a nice ass camera. Here this is the book I am talking about http://tinyurl.com/c9ra8v
-
You could say I'm a little biased seeing that I have a Jack Russell. But then again I saw that movie like 4-5 years before I owned a Jack, and I don't even remember it. I just remember that it was damn good and a real movie not that scat video I saw tonight.
-
I just noticed it in the movie and was commenting about it. Guess it really was intentional with him. I think that was just his way of showing that it IS possible for an entire town to get together and make a movie. I think it was his way of encouraging others to get out there and make their own movies .
-
if if I were up for that sort of thing, I'm not interested. Besides, a film like that needs the theater experience and the finsihed fx, etc to even halfway work. Why shoot it in the foot now. Besides, it's pretty uncool to start this precedent. I think we can just wait it out over here. I'm seriously gonna most likely wait for dvd for Wolvie, unless my wife pulls me to it. I know she is interested.
-
at the end when skip is old and wiating for him on his bed when he dies.
...like a bitch. -
I'm up for reviewing crappy old ones that I find in charity shops.
-
I put the first review for the horror a day thing up. Check it out when you get a chance.
-
Excellent review.
-
I wanted to see what all this hubbub with subtitles about. They don't really bothers me, but I remember some of the parts in the film had a lot more impact thanks to the subtitle's subtle translations. I will probably return (or sell back) this version for the one with the original subtitles once it comes out, but if I end up only owning this version, it wouldn't necessarily bother me.
-
how goes it? abiding?
-
122 after last nights efforts. Rumblefish, when I got home. When A Stranger Calls (because it was on television) and then Screamers because it was also on and Mrs. Jarv had gone to bed (and I've got insomnia).
-
Had a fun talk about Twitch meet-ups last night with... I want to say Kungfu over FB chat.
-
all 3 of those movies are utter shit. But at least Screamers is entertaining. I was psyched to see Rumblefish (seminal American classic, yada yada yada) and then sat through a ridiculously annoying, staggeringly dull art wankfest. Jarv does not recommend. When A Stranger Calls is possiby the worst idea I have ever seen. The only way to explain what it's like is this: Remember the first 30 minutes of the original Scream? Remember how exciting that was back in 1996? Now, imagine if some doofus decided to extend that to feature length, add a ripped off idea from halloween, remove all violence to make it safely 13, and add an implausible and uninteresting boyfriend sub-plot. Just wretched.
-
Aye, sounds crap-tastic Jarv.
-
That would be a cool idea.
-
But with an increasing number of hangovers these days.Things are so shitty here at work, alcoholism is starting to look like a pretty attractive proposition.
-
Is that the original or the remake? I saw the remake on telly last year and had the exact same reaction you did. I think I spent the whole film shouting "Why don't you just phone your Dad to come and pick you up!" at the screen.Stupid film.
-
Jarv, go over to Mavra..I posted a review for a schlocky horror
-part of a countdown of 30 yrs of horror films.
I mention it because there's a great video link if you can get at it. -
I apologise in advance, but in one of my upcoming audio reviews I shout-out out to you with 'and there's Frank, who constantly mocks me for coming up with the 500 films a year thing, and then watching what... 12?'
-
I've seen nowt this week and am still at 120 for the year.
-
I'll have to check your fancy newfangled reviews out at some point, Mr Z, but we can't access that kind of thing work.I always enjoy references to me, though, on account of narcissism.
-
I should probably do some written reviews. There's a film called Pieces that needs prose to describe it.
-
Jarv busted out three in a night!
-
...but I do not recommend to anyone that you get the half pound bacon and cheese burger from Jimbo's Jumbo's (sic) at midnight on a Tuesday. That is a surefire path to sleeping badly and feeling like a greasy sack of crap the next day.
-
Burgers while drunk are the most rancid shite imaginable. Half of them look like they're made of Rancor skin.
-
I haven't even broken a hundred yet! Damn. I'll just have to watch more. Maybe'll I just work down my collection from A to Z, and then just start watching other stuff. That would knock out a whole big block of movies.

It's a good excuse to re-watch old favourites, kungfu
by franklin t marmoset
Die Hard, Robocop, The Road Warrior, Evil Dead II, Alien, Aliens, Predator, Blade Runner - they're all films I've re-watched and re-appreciated this year, and it's all down to the 500 film challenge.
-
I've also done Robocop 3, AvP (1 & 2), Blues Brothers 2000, In The Name Of The King, and a bunch of other crap I might not have watched if I wasn't trying to inflate my numbers.
-
Except it dawned on me I own none of the Alien movies. I at least need to have the first two I suppose. Oh, and I have Commando, but not Predator, which I love.By the way, I finally got Evil Dead part 1 from the library today. I plan to have an Evil Dead triathalon Friday, and I'm getting excited.
-
That's well worth doing. I'd recommend doing all 3 Evil Deads to all CoC types. All in all, I reckon that's probably the most enjoyable marathon I've done this year.Didn't even need any booze to make that fun.
-
We don't want you to review copies of Wolverine you obtain illegally... but it's okay for us to get copies of films illegally, then review them ourselves. Like we did with one of the prequels.
-
I recorded Red Heat the other week, and I was considering doing a little run of some of Arnold's 2nd tier films. Red Heat, Commando, Raw Deal, and maybe Red Sonja except I remember that one being boring as hell.
-
Only guy making films that joyously dumb nowadays is John Cena.
-
That's the wrestler, isn't it?Hasn't he done something recently with Dumbhouse maestro Renny Harlin?If so, that could be right up my alley.
-
Never dared watch Swept Away lol, but I did read that Richie only made this as a low budget little film for $5 and didnt expect the full reviewing that it got. It was treated like it was a studio big bucks production, but was never meant to be judged like that. Of course it still had to be good regardless of how much it cost, but wonder if its got more bad press than it deserves. I'll check it out one day. PS. I love South Africa. Spent a lovely month in 2005 backpacking the Cape and the Garden Route down to George and Knysner. Great trip :)
-
The trailers make it look really old-school.
-
so will shoot ahead. The only reason for watching 3 last night were that I wanted rid of Rumblefish (and I was home by 4) and the other 2 were on telly.
-
Not because I have taken a moral stance against piracy, but because it seems like too much trouble to go to for Wolverine. Even if I were to somehow find that a copy of Wolverine had been placed in my DVD player for me to watch, actually switching on the player to watch it seems like a little too much effort for Wolverine.Not that I've seen it. Maybe it's mint, I don't know. But it's probably not. It's probably really not.
-
I could really do with two weeks off. I know I only just had two weeks off, but another two weeks would be great right about now.
-
VOldefim has put me right off superhero films for a while. And all the X-men films were shit.
-
fuckhead. Anyway, the flipside is that I have to pay full whack for airfares and shit because of airlines putting up prices when family cunts want to fly.

Before Supernatural, I might have watched Wolverine
by franklin t marmoset
On account of it has my former man-crush Ryan Reynolds in it. But I have recently replaced him with Dean out of Supernatural (not Dean out of Gilmore Girls), so there's no real reason to bother.
-
Fuckhead? Jesus.Now, if you had said lazy fucker, I could easily have agreed with that.
-
He is so hot right now.
-
2 weeks off? Jesus tittyfucking christ. What I would give for two weeks off right now. Even a day where I knocked off early! Cunts.
-
and is being overwhelmed by the fuckhead slacker army.
-
They've got him chained to that bank like Conan was chained to that wheel thingy.To honour his brave and noble sacrifice, I reckon I might knock off early today.
-
and go to the pub at 1.45 for lunch before leaving work at 4 to go back to the pub. It's a nice day, and I feel this will be sacrifice enough.
-
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK RAGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
My geek rage overtook me for a second.
-
this is obvious. And I didn't know that the stupid BBC were doing the wire every night so missed part 2 last night for Screamers. How irritating,
-
I must admit, I am sorely tempted.Trouble is, I don't know that I'm man enough to handle the piss-taking I'd get when any visitors noticed I had such an impressive collection of girly television. I might have to buy them and hide them somewhere. Gilmore Girls DVDs would be my secret shame.
-
Fuck, that is awesome. :)
-
Gilmore Girls is one of the best TV shows of all time. Call me a faggot, an idiot, a prick, a moron, a toss-pot... I don't fucking care. The show rocks.
-
Play.com rocks. £9.99.
-
Since the end of season 7, nothing has quite filled the gap of addictive girly niceness that Gilmore Girls provided. Either I can wait for season 1 to come around again on E4, or I can invest in those stupidly cheap DVDs.What to do?
-
jesus, I wish I was a doctor so I could write you two prescriptions for a pair of testicles each.
-
more gilmore girls talk?

the bitch should just fucking resign. Theiving cunt.

Question: How do you know if you're gay?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Answer: "Gilmore Girls is one of the best TV shows of all time."
-
I am going to spend the time I'm in the office after I get back from lunch dummying up some more of those fake posters. So far I've done Subway, and Dawson v Squid.

It's going slow here at work. How's yerself?

I started them, but lost interest. I'm really bored so will do some more though.
I'll send them to Mavra. -
nice review by the way There. I'm now looking forward to seeing Out of the Blue.
Whats new with you There? -
That was quick! Cheers, Jonah.Nothing new. SSDD.
-
Either rewatch the show, or become a miserable sod like Jarv/hater like Droid. Do I have to throw in the 'don't take this entry seriously' disclaimer?
-
You guys do seem to be overcompensating in the Gilmore Girls hate to one hilariously 'oh, really?' degree.
-
Harry throwing up an animal... then eating it... is this weeks avatar? Fuck, that's just pathetic.
-
from the work PC for some reason. It's a ballsack sacking sack of balls this PC.

Can I place an order for the Dawson Vs Squid poster?
by franklin t marmoset
Shit film, but that's bound to be a mint poster.
-
Those avatars make me want to punch a bunny-rabbit. Fucking God-motherfucking-damn you Harry for making me want to punch a rabbit.
-
Part of the fun of watching that show (for me) is rambling about it here and then getting inundated with posts accusing me of being gay/a girl/a eunuch/insane.That's some funny stuff.
-
It's just so over the top ridiculous. Makes me want to do an 'I wuv GG' article for MyMavra.
-
is taking the poster and then sticking a quote on it when we come up with a particularly apropros one- Dawson V squid is "Too Much Dawson, Not Enough Squid"
-
it isn't that it's a talky hokey bag of shit, well it is but that's not the point. It's that it's populated by absolute cunts (you even said that yourself frank) and all the dialogue is that horrible ubercool pop-reference shit. Not to mention the navel gazing over nothing of importance and the fact that the voices in it are like nails on a blackboard.If you like that, then fine. Me: I hate it.And I'm not misreable. It's sunny and I'm going to the pub in a minute
-
Eye Of The Beast is a shit title. If you could take that (actually pretty cool) original poster and change the title to DAWSON VS SQUID
-
Eye Of The Beast is a shit title. If you could take that (actually pretty cool) original poster and change the title to DAWSON VS SQUID, then add that little review snippet, I think that would look pretty damn nice.
-
Once a blue moon. And then you guys do this idiotic 'hehehehehehe - it's gay/girly/insane' crap. Which is hilarious, but not in the way you intend it. Especially as both me and Frank STOPPED discussing it when asked. Then you started bashing it out of the blue.
-
I choose to blame this computer. Not me.
-
And that STUPID FUCKING AVATAR that makes me wish I was a hacker and could delete it's sorry-ass existence.
-
never blames his tool.
-
The GG stuff I'm not a fan of, but can live with... that avatar sums up this fucking site. A shitty waste of time with sporadically entertaining talkbacks. Fuck this site, fuck their idiotic Wolverine stance and FUCK their shitty fucking avatars and lazy as FUCK approach to writing.
-
The only reason I ever started going on about Gilmore Girls was because I thought it was funny to reference a show that no one here would ever watch. It was the iconoclast in me that did it. I have no problem with people taking the piss about it, because that was kind of the idea in the first place.And I didn't stop talking about it because people asked me to (I don't think anyone ever did that), I stopped because I had finished watching it.I will, however, promise not to talk about it too much now I'm going to start watching it again. Probably. Maybe.
-
It should be pretty clear by now that I have no clue what I'm on about half the time (maybe more).
-
You, sir, are in need of a visit to Stars Hollow to mellow you out.
-
I just think that avatar is God-awful. Like, insultingly so. As long as I don't look at it, I'm cool.

I've never seen a single episode of Gilmore Girls
by hawaiian organ donor
All I know is I've never wanted a mother-daughter combo so much in my life.I don't plan on downloading Wolverine but after having been subjected to The Day The Earth Stood Still, I think Fox deserves to never have another movie succeed again.How's everyone doing by the way?Two weeks off would be nice. I can knock off early from time to time but actual time off is a real luxury.
-
Currently scrawling down a nonsenical set of notes for Uni work on Comic-books. You?
-
Is it supposed to be a Poltergeist reference? Was it Poltergeist where the guy vomits up a little beastie? Or Poltergeist 2, maybe?
-
This site is officially toilet. The only thing that keeps me coming back is you. And a few other folks.Ain't It Hypocrisy News is more appropriate these days.
-
It's a beautiful spring day here in Bristol, I had a delcious chicken baguette for lunch, and I have once again opened myself up to accusations of homosexuality (or possibly a total lack of testicles).You know, can't complain.
-
Some prick called me a faggot for an hour in a TB, and didn't seem to understand my 'yeah... if I was gay, how would that be an insult? It's only an insult if I think being gay is wrong, and I don't' replies.
-
I know old Red Beard thinks they're cute and seeing himself on the homepage of his own website is probably stroke-a-riffic, but seeing the same animation for weeks on end becomes a deterrent.
-
Honestly, I don't think it's hypocrisy on their part anymore. This site sold its outsider credentials at the first chance it had in a desperate attempt to suck up to various movie types. Which is fine with me, I suppose. It's Harry's site and he can pretty much do as he pleases with it.It's been said before, but I'll say it again - the one and only reason this place is worth anything anymore is the talkbacks.
-
I've taken flak all my life because I'm a sucker for a good romcom. All I need to mention is my undying love for most Hugh Grant movies and it's like waving a red flag at this group.I had no idea you Brits were as finicky and short-sighted as us Yanks. Last year Obama was treated like a the shiznit when he visited Europe. Two months into his presidency and people are protesting.
-

My favourite thing about the Church of the Subgenius
by franklin t marmoset
Is their slogan: "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke." I'm not a member, but it's a good credo to live by.And I haven't seen the news yet, but I thought they were generally protesting about the financial crisis and whatnot rather than President Obi. I reckon we should leave it at least another six months before we start protesting him.
-
I love your sauce, mate.
-
was really quite awful, wasn't it? I figured they would botch it,but I didn't expect it to be that bad. If there is ever need of proof Massa is out of touch in his taste, it's the fact that he actually claimed that this new movie improved on the old one. BLAARRRKKK!!
-
I really couldn't care a less if you guys want to talk about Gilmore Girls. I've never seen it so I can't really comment. I've watched (and secretly enjoyed) some dire shit in my time. Shit, I used to wake up every saturday morning, gloriously hungover and stumble to the couch where I would tune in to E4 and revel in the almighty suckitude of One Tree Hill. And I loved it. THE perfect hangover tv. And Hugh Grant ain't so bad. About A Boy was great and he was the only good thing about the Bridget Jones flicks. And Four Weddings etc was enjoyable as well. Notting Hill I hated (except for Spike) but I loathe and detest Julia Roberts. He's much better when he plays the lothario though.
-
Pure dumbhouse TV. They named the coach Whitey, for fuck sake. How can you hate that? It's awesomely bad.
-
Even the writers know its bad, so they randomly have teachers and student sleep together and play porn music in the background.
-
What are we about here if not taking the piss?Taking the piss is our bread and butter.
-
Nine Months was shit, but the rest are pretty good.
-
There is a fistfight in every second episode. Fact. It's like the "writers" keep failing to resolve a conflict, so they just stick in a fistfight.
-
There was this classic promo for it. One of the kids Dads was evil, so they throw a basketball at his head. The Dad dodges, shoots them a 'I'M GONNA EAT YO FACE' look of pure awesome confusion.
-
This Evil Dad was only missing a neon sign saying 'Evil Cunt' above his head.

There's been some ridiculous shit on that show
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Murders, attempted murders, psycho stalkers, car crashes, overdoses... the list goes on. Pure unadulterated trash tv. Mightily entertaining.
-
If you can't be good, be trash. Fine motto to live by. And didn't they pull a 'five years later' plot-twist?
-
which I had in a splendid beer garden. Luckily I've only got 40 mins of work left.
-
I'll send about 5 to Mavra as soon as I get more insulting tag lines.
-
it's set on a FUCKING LAKE. Ordinarily this would be awesomely stupid to be hunting a giant squid on a lake, but in this case, it's shit.
-
Jarv, you should add Prophecy(the 79 one) to your Lovefilm queue. It's about a giant mutant bear in Maine.
Also, what movie was Zed talking bout where a group of girl prisoners have to fend off a werewolf? I'm pretty sure thats just something we made up on here right? Is it really a movie? -
The ugliest monster alive... is tasked with taking down a squid.

One thing I've never understood in movies is when people act tough or irresponsibly brainless in the face of something that could kill them.Aside from a lot of other stupid nonsense, my big beef with Transformers was John Turturro's character. Who talks back to a 60 foot robot? And more importantly, who captures one knowing his friends, also 60 foot robots with weaponry beyond our own, will come to his rescue? Who the hell is that stupid?And that was repeated in Earth Stood Still. Who is stupid enough to hold an alien against their will and interrogate them when their spaceship is being guarded by an indestructible 60 foot robot who can shut down your defense systems? And then the military fires some missles into the spaceship? So our leadership is a bunch of cowboys intentionally looking to start a war with an advanced species who can obliterate the Earth? George Bush aside, the reckless nature of government and military portrayed in the movie was insulting and embarrassing.

I would send you some booze from England, but I doubt it would survive the trip.Us English types will have to figure out some other way to repay you for your generous supplying of films.

us English types always reach for Alcohol to repay something, and as you can't get anything that I would call Scotch across the pond for a decent price, that was my idea.

to go and stand in the queue in the fucking neo-stalinst nightmare that we call The Post Office.

I always knew it was coming, but it was safe before because it was only an abstract concept, like knowing that I will die one day but not really understanding what that means. But now it is actually on the horizon. I can almost hear its blurry, lumpen, retarded, giant metal footsteps in the distance.Am considering burying head in sand.
-
surely no-one would be stupid enough to make a film based on a toy line. Let alone a sequel. Certainly not one with Shithead lepoof in it. Surely?
-
And I'll be drunk, most likely. Also considering getting wrecked and going to Fast & Furious over easter since I don't have any plans.
-
HOD I don't know if I can ever believe a word that comes out of your mouth again. You said that this movie would be remotely enjoyable. That sir is a complete lie. There is no fun to be had in this hateful hateful film.

I saw it with my mom and between her cancer and her dog of 12 years being on it's last legs, she was in tears for half the movie. And that was very affecting to me.And having lived with the same person for 10 years now, I will say that they go the dialogue of the couple arguing DEAD. BALLS. ON. So I was able to relate to that.It's a movie I'll never watch again and I'm glad I downloaded it rather than give Fox a penny.
-
Somehow I missed that boat. Hey all!
-
--The opening credits but in live-action. I know they won't. But that would be a BADASS, stylish way to open the film (and every sequel thereafter). And it'd be quite a welcome surprise.
-
You didn't agree with a lot of my favorites from the past year (i.e. QoS, Defiance) so why should Marley & Me be any different? And by now everyone knows I have absolute crap tastes in movies so why would you take a word I say as something to go on?
-
Hop scotch to all.

I bought a USB mic. Should finally make my voice audible.

Wow. I had no idea they had an alternate, anime style opening for the show. I think it rocks. And its got a ridiculous Japanese-rock-n-roll theme song with subtitles half in English, half in Japanese. Though honestly, the only English words they translate are the battle cry "SHOCK!!" and the very strange final words "Cry for the moon!!!" Check it out. http://tinyurl.com/d9m7cj

That shot is on the posters and on all the online ads. I'm surprised you guys haven't seen it. The kid pukes up Ecotplasm during a seance, which has apparently been reported before? At least, that's what I'm guessing its referencing. Though Poltergeist 2 is a good guess.

Its not your fault. I know that depending on your station in life that movie may or may not be for you. Just for me being a deadly serious dog trainer, just pissed me off that this lazy bastard made fist over fist of money for being lazy. Kind of makes you not want to try, and for a couple made of JOURNALIST they are the least inquizative people ever. Like Ex Mrs. Pitt while less irritating in this film, her typical style of acting made more sense for this part. Like when shit happened they never fucking questioned it. Like when the neighbor got stabbed they were like...OK that sucks whats for dinner. Or when she got the miscarriage they didn't fucking say a thing. You think they would ask at least one question seeing that they are JOURNALIST not columnist like 75% of this movie was about.
-
AAAAAAAhahahaha hilarious and so true.

Where exactly do you live again? My girlfriend and I are planning a road trip this summer, and if you would have me, I would come, and while I couldn't bring you booze exactly, I could certainly front the dough for some good beer. And I'm pretty sure I would be packing whiskey on the trip like it was my only canteen and I was stranded in the desert.
-
Don't worry about using your hard earned cash on postage for us. At least, don't do it for me. If you gave me your address, I would send you cash to reimburse you, and provide the funds for more sets. Would $20 cover it? I'm totally serious here.
-
Just a "Thanks dude! The package arrived!" (those guilty know who they are) and a good discussion about the movies after you watch them.And I live on the opposite coast so I doubt very much a roadtrip would be feasible. One of these days in the very near future when I get this screenplay sold, I'll host a get together for all of us. Until then, if anyone's in the area, my door is open.

Here's footage of Fogler as Sam Kinison. While I agree that I don't think we'll get someone who can do this better, I think Fogler is missing the presence Kinison had that made him at every moment look so tightly wound and angry, like he would explode any second. http://tinyurl.com/cx5qwm

Damn. That's no joke. On imdb.

I read imdb COMPLETELY wrong. I wish this TB had an edit function.

That's probably because Dan Folger isn't funny. He is also slated to be Hitchcock in an upcoming movie? You know even though he is probably too much of a pussy to do the hard R needed to be a Sam movie, I think Frank Caliendo could possibly do it. I hate his show, I hate Mad TV, but Allah damn if that chubby little ball of stupid peoples money does not make me laugh my ass off when I see him on late shows. Seriously his late night appearances are the best. Anyone catch Letterman grilling O'Riely last night?

How am I always on the opposite schedule that the rest of you are on?

The shop fucked up big time and like half of my pull box titles weren't there. I can still write a few reviews, but probably not ALL of the ones I said I could. I'll let you know.

I don't want any of your Wolverine reviews.
-
I'm gonna slip TGTBATW to the guy who works at my shop and tell him to watch it or else.
-
I just mean he's missing that glare, that grimace that makes him look like he could bite your head off. Even when Kinison smiled, it still looked like he'd kill you for looking at him.

I haven't read a fucking thing with Wolverine since Whedon left Astonishing X men. The closest I have gotten in awhile was that shitty Fantastic Four story where he came from the future.I do want to eventually read Old Man Logan though.
-
Robert Downey Jr. running around a secret pyramid in London fighting off murderous Egyptian cultists
-
Yeah I know Frank could do the glare. As for Wolverine it is Wolverine month over at Marvel.
-
It officially becomes that character's "month" at Marvel. Case in point, the Hulk extravaganza last year and the Iron Man craze. A few years back it was Venom and the return of Black Spider-Man.
-
I'm back - what a night.
-
I saw Beaks' challenge and I dood it. Guess what we have 2 reviews of over at www.mymavra.com? (Hint...today's letter is the letter "X") If anyone else wants to write a review of it, we'll post that too. ;P
-
Mos Definitely made the show interesting finally. Its been a little we-whom for a while. Obviously them Casa boys been watching dat dar Le Scaphandre et le papillon because that's what that episode essentially was. Well I guess we got's Lost tonight and a farewell to one of the greatest American Shows in the past couple of years.
-
For having the balls to post the Wolverine reviews.
-
farewell to what?
-
Does Dirk know about that?
-
As the inimitable Fred himself would say: Hee hee
-
That would explain a lot.
-
Jeez menstrual_blitz where have you been the past year? This is like the television event of the night.
-
about Life on Mars.....I have dumb, knee-jerk reactions against all tv shows though, without taking the time to watch them. Then I jump on the bandwagon late in the game (i.e. Lost--waited til season 3, BSG--same).
Is it sci fi? Is it a sitcom? What makes it great? -
cartoons are generally exempt from my knee-jerk rule...not sure why that is.
-
I saw Death Sentence tonight w/Mr. Kevin(gets a lifetime pass because of Tremors) Bacon himself.
Bloody good bloody flick!
When action gets going, it is very enjoyable and bloody. Nice unexpected twist in it as well with the family. -
Or did you decide food was more important?
-
Death Sentence was ok, the scene in the car park was pretty amazing though. As for Conan found out that its playing all week, and I get paid tomorrow and will go tomorrow night.
-
I'll miss the soundtrack. LOST had some awesome moments tonight. But next week looks EPIC.
-
I've got another 2 hours 'til I can watch Lost.
-
There's a part with Hurley where they are basically just addressing the majority of the stupid people that watch the show, and they just explain all the weird little things with time, and all the little misunderstandings people have been having. It's actually pretty hilarious.
-
is fuckin weird.

To the new twitch Jai HO!
