Carla Gugino replaces Kelly Preston in Robert Rodriguez's SPY KIDS
Hey folks, Harry here with the inside skinny on who Rodriguez cast in the last minute replacement of Kelly Preston, who is recovering from just recently giving birth. The role is as the spy kids' Mom and spywife of Antonio Banderas. Her name is Carla Guigino, most likely best known to most of you as being the lady in the midst of all the intrigue in Brian DePalma's SNAKE EYES, a film who's original cut I'd love to see. Robert had to fly up to New York and do a massive audition process, then take the lucky lady back down to Austin for filming... apparently on Monday. Whew... talk about going from unemployed to employed.... Man... That's got to be weird as all hell. Well, I've got to take on off, I've more spy work of my own to commence...

Veers' brief dismissal of the wonderful "Snake Eyes" seems to have missed the entire point of the film. "Snake Eyes" is very much about loyalty, friendship, betrayal and not crossing the line between corruption and evil. It is a smart, fast and vivid morality play that was unfortunately dampened by a last-minute ending. Sorry if Veers was expecting "Armageddon" or some nonsense like that, but DePalma is too smart and insightful for that. It's such a shame DePalma is so often misunderstood, because his films are anything but "emotionless."
-
...Also played Micheal J. Fox's girlfriend on the first season of Spin City, played the young bride who hooked up with the tabloid reporters and the angel in the Travolta stinkbomb Michael, and can currently be seen on every commercial break on every network as she shills for Clarol, "cause she's worth it." Carla's hot and deserves much success. Unfortunately, from what I've heard about this film thus far, it doesn't sound like this is the one that's going to put her in the major leagues.
-
Snake Eyes had a great first half and then got worse and worse as the movie neared a clunking end. I would pay four bucks to see it again, if I could just walk out after Cage's character views the videotape.
-
Since I'm the authority on Brian DePalma, everyone else should shut up. Although, I do admit that DePalma should have replaced CAGE with EDWARD NORTON, who is the BEST actor of his generation. (KEEPING THE FAITH is the new CITIZEN CANE). Also, they should have replaced LUIS GUZMAN with JOHNNY DEPP, my other favourite actor. (Notice how I spelled favorite). Like a true Brit, eh? Anyway, I'm off for some tea and plenty of boiled food, while I watch me best football club on the tele.

...those are my favorite talkback responses by a kilo and a half. My hat's off to you, and keep 'em coming! Oh, and I'm speaking to the real VEERS, not the cheap ripoff with personal issues right above me.

Hey Rebecca from "Son-in-Law" ( arguably Pauly Shores greatest film accomplishment ) being cast in a film is news -
hell we should take over AICN and make it all SON IN LAW all the time.

Was that ILM tidal wave ever even created, and if so, why the hell isn't that ending on the fucking DVD????

VEERS: Where the Hell are the DePalma journal excerpts, man?
by "baddates"monkey
C'mon! Relinquish that which is quite personal and insightful of that most talented "auteur". Give us the goods, man!

I heard on a local Bay Area (S.F. California) radio
station that some major last minute auditioning is going on for
Anikin at the ranch. Appairently,
Ms. Portman/Queen Amidala was there to test
with the last few pickings of the prospective new cast member. This
has nothing to do with what Harry's talking about but I thought some TalkBackers might want to know. --Syd. -
is what snake eyes was. Lame-ass, feel nothing, Nic Cage has a broom up his ass to make his eyes bug that much out stoooopid. Oh yea, when Carla Gugino was on Spin City, she was the girlfriend for the first few months, then go canned. When they re-ran her episodes later that summer, she had been edited out, like Big Brother had come and taken her away...creepy shit man, creepy...
-
I think she needs to get a better agent. She could be a major star, but they booted her off Spin City so Michael J. Fox's character could screw around, she had her biggest part in DePalma's worst movie(not her fault, she was breathtaking), she got a role in Chicago Hope just as it was closing its doors. The girl ain't lucky. She is beautiful and talented, just not lucky. Hopefully this will turn it around.
-
C'mon, you know it's true. It's the worst Hitchcock movie that Hitchcock didn't direct. Everyone knows that DePalma wears his influnces on his sleeve (anyone remember the stairway seen from Battleship Potemkin he ripped off for the Untouchables?) Sure, I love Scarface, but for the most part DePalma is a hack.
-
He acted like such a jackass to the extras. The film had some great camera angles but the story sucked ass.
-
Am I the only one out there who could care less about this project? Rodriguez seems like a decent enough guy, but this movie sounds absolutely dreadful (
and if Kelly Preston, Amy Brenneman, and Lauren Holly all passed, it must be). Come on, Harry, I know Robert's your buddy, but at least try to show some integrity. Then again, maybe I'm wrong-- maybe this movie won't turn out to be "Undercover Blues Part II". -
It's all about the script. They can be fantastic (Scarface, Untouchables, Carrie, and I liked Carlito's way!)or dismal (Raising Caine, a grip of others) or sometimes a fantastic movie with a few dismal parts (Mission Impossible - loved it by why did Phelps shoot his wife?)or a dismal movie with a few fantastic parts(The first 20 minutes of Snake Eyes).

any actress that can convincingly convey affection for pauly shore has got my money. better carla than kelly 'cast me and you might get a cameo from john travolta' preston.

Why would they go with Kelly whats-her-face over Carla whats-her-face or any other shamelessly self-promoting hollywood hussy when they could have... oh hell, i don't know, i just like typing in sords that are hyphen-ated. try it, you'll like it. As for that little tidbit about Natalie Portman at Skywalker Ranch, it is true, I was there to see it as I was... uhm... "paparazzing" the delightful Ms. Portman around the west coast. Have you ever noticed that on those internet sites that have "porno of the stars" on it, the lighting is all wrong? Why would they choose to light their face from one direction and their body from the other? But I digress. The perfect woman for this role, however, is my mother. I mean, my mother is just so kick-ass that no one could deny her commanding screen presence. Our old Super-8 hyphen-ate films of her doing the jitterbug are on par with the finest work that that auteur DePalma has ever done. What, by the way, does auteur mean, anyway? Is it like French-Fries, only smaller? You know what I mean. It's my job to keep punk rock elite.
-
Alright kids, What the hell, does anyone care about this freakin' movie? So it's directed by Rober Rodrigez, WHO CARES?!?! The last good thing he did was From Dusk Till Dawn. And that was FIVE YEARS AGO!!! As far as DePalma, after Snake Eyes and Mission To Mars I've lost all faith in the man. He's VERY over-rated. Like he's the only one who can to long-ass tracking shots! God, I've seen other filmmakers do that and do it MUCH better.
-
This whole concept sounds diabolical, what has happened to the guy who made kick arse films like Desperado and From Dusk till Dawn? The same is true of De Palma Snake Eyes was a bag of Shite! These guys are taking the money and doing a runner, They must be phoning in the directions from their holiday villas these days!

I still think DePalma's got a few great films left in him. You just know he had nothing to do with that lame '90s rock song at the end of "Snake Eyes." Anyone that doesn't get DePalma must read "The Devil's Candy" about the making of "The Bonfire of the Vanities." It's a funny, affectionate, and very moving story about one of the last decades first bombs. I always thought he'd return to more personal filmmaking after the success of "Mission: Impossible." But after "Mission to Mars," who can tell? Maybe his love of cinema is dead? Spielberg said the only way he'd know that his best friend Brian is dead is if he signs on to a "Home Alone" sequel. BTW: Criterion is supposed to release "Sisters" on DVD in the Fall!
-
Just seeing Carla washing her shirt is almost worth the price of admission. She has a very sweet chest. I've been hot for her since "Son-in-Law" and was glad to see her join the cast of "Chicago Hope." "Hope" had the best female cast of any show on TV. It seems like every year they added somebody that I loved; Carla, Christine Lahti (God I love her), Katherine Herrold, Lauren Holly, that chick from "In The Company of Men." It'll be a shame to see that show go off the air. As for "Spy Kids," it sounds like a piece of shit. "Undercover Blues" revisited. Rodriguez is an overrated hack who hasn't really made even one good film. "Faculty" blew. "From Dusk til Dawn" started out okay then ate greasy globs of shit once they arrived at the bar/vampire house. The sooner Hollywood recognizes Rodriguez for the no-talent that he is the better. He can go back to hanging out with Harry and spare us his crappy "films."

Sorry Veers but you are TOO full of yourself! As to how many times I've been laid well let me tell ya son I've banged more quiff,tasted more muff and drank more beer than your sorry,pillow biting.swishy ass will ever do! Where did you get the name Veers anyway. Didn't Darth Vader choke to death one of his lameass generals named Veers or somesuch? Heres wishing one of the Darths (fill in the blank) on this site would choke your sorry ass!

BWAA HAAA HAAA!! My dimwitted, buffoonish opponent,are you gonna cry? Shutup jerkie! The 6 is for how many times I would kick your sorry ass! LOL Talk movies then and NOT Bruce Campbell movies please!! Tag your it dipshit!!
-
...ah Veers,silly,fat little virgin boy. I would think you would know better by now. Shit if you want poeple to notice you try dropping a few pounds. Lay off the twinkies,hot pockets and pizza rolls and try getting your rather large ass from off the shit stained sofa you reside on most of your day. As to my living alone,guess again. I am happily married thank you very much. Yes Veers,you too can maybe get a girl to notice you. Just follow these simple steps that I'm sure even a fat,sorry fuck like yourself can do:1 - Get a job 2 - Move out of your mommy's basement 3- finish High School(or in your case maybe junior high) 4- Get your blubbery ass to a gym(PUT DOWN THAT HO HO!!) 5 - Become a heterosexual(I know it will be hard for you but work with me here) and last but not least 6 - QUIT JACKING OFF TO BRUCE CAMPBELL!!! lol HAHAHAHAHAH.
-
You have a job you say? I thought I saw a male hooker on the corner on the way to work last night. Am I annoying you yet? Your stupid,incoherent rant at the end of your posts suggests yes. Your welcome. My mission is a success. You got one thing right you moron. You are not Hefner. I'll give him your regards the next time the big,bad booty daddy,Wolvie6 is layin the pipe to a playmate. (That is as long as my wife doesn't know. Sorry Jackass,your wrong again. See my previous post about getting your ass some pussy as well.....ah forget it,your hopeless!!) Silly little Veers...you kill me, you really do...better luck next time jerkie.
-
Your fucking Hugh Hefner! Say it isn't so! Hef can't be gay! We all know YOU are though Veers! GOD NO! THERE IS NO GOD!! Veers is porkin Hef!! AHHHHHH!!!!
-
I don't wanna hear about your homoerotic fantasies! ..and for gods sake keep me out of them!!! You are the one in denial man. YOU said you wanted Hef and now you want me. Get the fuck away queenie before I stop a mudhole in your ass and walk it drive. Now shoo fagboy,I got work to do.
-
Quit pushin your crap on me man. If thats what floats your boat,so be it. If you were within reach I would plummel your swishy ass into next week. Listen up jerkie- Your role: Know it Your mouth: Shut it Your mommas anus: Lick it! My armor is impervious to your inane rants! Away with you swishy boy, I got kingdoms to save and women to do!
-
VICTORY!! lol just kidding.
-
Wolvie6,
You're right I am a bit of a homo, but something inside of me, besides your hairy tool, tells me that you want me too. If I hop on a plane and come over to your country, can we settle our differences and see if there's something to build on? Afterall, makeup sex is always the best. I love you! -
Shutup swishy boy!
-
Both of you, honestly, should just shut up.

All my previous posts were in response to VEERS who seems to have gotten himself banned because his posts have been removed.
