Wanna see Dennis Quaid glare real mean and intense like?
Hey folks, Harry here...
Now, I follow Craig Brewer on Twitter, and just a while ago he posted this, our first frame grab from FOOTLOOSE, his remake of the 80's Kevin Bacon Classic. Now, I've been dying to see a frame from this flick - if only to get a sense of what exactly Brewer is up to with this. Now, Dennis Quaid is playing the John Lithgow character from the first film, and Lithgow was an utter beast for whole sections of that film, but in Lithgow's eyes lie sympathy, forgiveness... It's written upon his face for me. But take a gander at Dennis Quaid here... Look at that face, the emotion in it, the starkness and the unforgiving that's in that face. I'm asking ya, would you like to be on the receiving end of that glare? Yikes! Can't wait to see at least the trailer!

Somebody shat in Dennis Quaid's Corn Flakes!!! Craig Brewer's FOOTLOOSE remake looks intense.
-
I thought this was going to be about THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
-
the first footloose wasnt all that good does it deserve a remake? I hope they improve it.
-
Posting first on your own articles is really pretty obnoxious.
-
It broke the link. I'm not impressed.
-
the first three sentences start with the word "now." And didn't you spooge all over a "frame" of this film already, something about a prom, right?
-
but I'm having nightmares of the cat staring at me!
-
I really wish there were a way to automatically filter out "first" posts. Harry going out of his way to post first in the talkbacks for every article feels forced and awkward to me, especially since his first posts typically repeat a point from the article or feel like quotes from movie advertisements ("I can't wait to see this!" type statements). I'm not exactly criticizing. It's kind of sad to me that he has to do it. The fact that sometimes one or two talkbackers will manage to post before Harry makes it even sadder. Even if it only takes 20 seconds per article to do this, that shit adds up. For his own strength and dignity, I hope Harry has managed to convince himself that posting first gives each article some additional excitement and personal input by him. I don't know. I dislike "first!" posts as much as many of you, and I never have even considered doing a "first post" even when the opportunity has presented itself. It's such a waste of time.
-
Don't really have any interest at all in the movie but it's late and i can't sleep. Are we supposed to find it on that douchey-looking guy's twitter page or something?
-
Harry, I think you forgot to post a link.

click on "Craig Brewer on Twitter" then when you're on that shitty twitter site, the first post has a link to the picture, so it's not on the site itself but a link on the first twit. It's worth seeing for the cat!
-
Seriously, that cat looks adorable!
-
Link goes to twitter and no pics. No other links.
-
Really???
-
That girl leaves Lori Singer in the dust.
-
Cold, clammy, wheezing and kinda moldy. Possibly? I guess the ad revenue isn't what it use to be. Have a piece of KFC on me.
-
I honestly hope your doing all right. Feel free to delete the last post. Cheers
-
Watch this
-
john lithgow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dennis quaid
-
Weird.
-
i you wanna get more badass Quaid. Great movie and yes he can act for sure.
-
Best Quaid line ever.
-
...zero defects.
-
Honestly, what is the point of remaking this movie? New technology wont add anything to it. New music is horrendous (are they going to be dancing to Ke$ha?). New actors will be substandard to the original cast. John Lithgow could still convincingly play the same role so unless the world was dying to see how Dennis Quaid played it, I don't see a reason.
-
The Hollywood Star Whackers must have got it.
-
Currently this guy is death to any new emerging franchise. Hasnt had a non-bomb in years. Shame cos I like the guy, but he's on a losing streak that this film isnt going to end.
-
You sir FAIL.
-
<p>Holy jumping jesus - hollywood sucks.</p> <p> PS..... Dancing is gay</p>
-
I LOVE him and will see him in anything!
-
A picture of Dennis Quaid looking back at us in the background, while a cat looks back at us in the foreground. Classic.
-
Again, I'm not quite sure it is Harry posting those, maybe Yoko. And even doing so will not eliminate "first" posters. Now "first" will just be the person who posted right after Harry. Its always been a lame tradition this first post situation but it won't end so why fight it.
-
Cost $170 mill to make so in Hollywood terms needs to turn $340 mill to be classed as a true money maker. Box office gross came in at $150 million so unless it made another $190 mill on DVD/BD sales it was a bomb.

You want crazy glare...? Shoulda hired RANDY Quaid
by openthepodbaydoorshal
He's doin' crazy full time now. And Dennis has so much good will from his early stuff - Breaking Away, The Long Riders, The Right Mutha-Fn Stuff, Innerspace, The Big Easy..that it hurts to see the crap he's been in lately...Legion, Pandorum,etc. The last thing I liked him in was In Good Company. He had a good chemistry with Topher Grace. Thats what he needs. Someone to play off his good ol boy charm. This is about as needed as the Fame remake...who asked for it?

Quaid is like the non-boring version of Harrison Ford
by Nasty In The Pasty
Back in the 80's, Ford was the A-list star while Quaid scrounged for the B-movie genre scraps Ford turned down, but now, Ford has degenerated into one of the most collosally boring actors on the face of the planet while Quaid's rascally good cheer hasn't ebbed in the slightest. All Quaid needs is some really excellent roles, and he could have a late-career renaissance. Hell, cast Quaid as the next Indiana Jones. It's time to pull a 007 and re-cast that role if Spielberg and Lucas are truly serious about making a fifth movie. Ford was in good shape in the last one...for a SIXTY-FIVE YEAR OLD MAN, but he'll be seventy or even older before Spielberg and Lucas get off their asses and make another film. Not that Quaid is that much younger (he's about fifty-five now, right?), but he still has the physicality the role requires, and more importantly, the CHARM.
-
Now, I liked seeing all the comments on one page and not having to expand each one. Now, I don't think Dennis Quaid looks all that intense in that screen grab. Now, I couldn't give a shit about this remake.

Dennis Quaid always tries to make the most of any role...
by alienindisguise
so this could be alright, at least his performance anyway.
-
Hey now, Pandorum was a decent flick. It's been a while since someone made a good film in the same vein as Event Horizon.
-

gruemanlives - funny you mention Event Horizon,
by openthepodbaydoorshal
because Pandorum was co-produced by Paul WS Anderson. Used to be Anderson would crib from other, better movies like Don't Look Now (in Event Horizon) and Cube (in a couple of Resident Evils). Now he's cribbing from himself. Event Horizon + The Descent = Pandorum.
-
It's a fucking crime that "Innerspace" didn't become a huge franchise...
-
That last subject line was supposed to have read: "This film doesn't deserve Quaid."

Denis Quaid got those close to be a mega-star like Harrison Ford
by AsimovLives
He even married one of the top Hollywood beauties of the time, Meg Ryan (yes, once upon a time she was gorgeaus). So, what happened? Why isn't he bigger then he is? He had it all, he had the looks, the charisma, and talent. He could do it all, he could do light-hearted comedy-adventure, he could do erotic crime thrillers, he could do serious drama. It can't just be alchoolism that prevented him form being big, i mean, Mel Gibson was a notorious non-stopping alchoolic at that same time and it never hurted his career back then. Denis Quaid is a mega-star that never got to be. Strange and a pity.
-
... a proper pissing all over the christian fundie asses that infest the american midwest and which are helping turning USA into the Iran of the western hemisphere. but that would mean that an holywood movie would actually develop a pair of balls and had some social conscience, which in this era of Jar Jar Abrams and Mickey Bay is total anathema.
-
I also think that Denis Quaid would had made a perfect replacement for Harrison ford in the indiana Jones role. Hell, Quaid could be a replacement for any Harrison Ford role, the way i see it. Back in the early 90s, if Ford had given up the role of indy and they kept making those movies, Quaid would had been a perfect replacement. In some paralel universe where CRYSTAL SKULLFUCK never happened and Lucas and Spielberg continued the Indy saga right after LAME CRUSADE, there are some Indy movies made with Denis Quaid in the lead role playing Indy. I'd love to see that. Hell, even today Quaid could play a great older Indy.
-
Do you have any dstories of Denis Quaid's suckcockiness you want to share? Because, like many, i consider he has a very nice and sympathetic screen presence.
-
PANDORUM is thows ekind of movies which has a pretty good and interesting premise, but the movie is brough down by stupid editing (the filmmakers must had though they had to compete with Michael Bay or something) and the usual Paul WC Anderson's second and 3rd act stupidity that infects all his movies. And now, it also infects the movies he just produces. PANDORUM could had been a contender. In fact, to see a PANDORUM-like move done right, you should check out the swiss-german-french SF movie CARGO.

Randy Quaid is a celebrity? I like him as an actor, but he's hardly a celebrity, in my opinion.
