Johnny Depp could play a wooden pole that the Angels use to hit
by dirtfish
Drew Barrymore is a fox!
-
The best part of this trailer was the closeup slow-mo shots of all the angels. I nearly jizzed my pants. But as soon as they showed Mr. Murray as Bosley and the Angels started doing their kicks to the explosive background, I knew exactly where this project was headed. Right next to The Avengers and The Mod Squad on the rental shelf. This movie is going to be stupid beyond belief unless they can poke fun at themselves while making us laugh. Is this action or comedy?
-
Awesome, I always thought one of the Angels should've had a speech impediment. Can anyone name the last movie of hers that made a profit? I think that one where she dies in the first 5 minutes. I'm not even sure what her big comeback was, Poison Ivy? Has any movie of hers besides Batman Forever (as much hers as Scream was) made money? I don't think money's everything, I think the artistic merit of Bad Girls stands on its own. I just wonder: Don't you have to start on top to cruise on momentum?
-
Only kidding!To be quite honest I think it's going to be a crock of shit and will most probably suck like many other Tv series that have been turned into movie.
ie.The Avengers
I rest my case! -
I have never been compelled to post in Talkback until I saw this "teaser". I don't care how sexy Cameron is. I don't care how exotic Lucy looks or how cute Drew is (ummm... does anyone doubt this was a vanity project because she loved watching it while growing up so now a studio decided to indulge her to the tune of several MILLION dollars?) That anyone in modern Hollywood would imagine these three GIRLS have an ounce of the flair and sophistication of the original "Angels" cast (who came across as sexy young WOMEN, not girls) and then pour money into the toilet to produce this piece of cornball cheese just boggles the mind. What other "made-for-tv" series will get adapted next because Hollywood is so creatively bankrupt, "The Beverly Hillbillies"? (oops... forgot some other knucklehead already made that steaming pile of crap...)
-
Where was this sexy cast when they made the big screen Car 54: Where Are You?
-
Listen to yourselves. Man it never ceases to amaze me - the sheer level of sloped-forehead stupidity at this site is fucking mind-boggling. "This movie is going to be stupid beyond belief" "A crock of shit" "Will suck"....on the basis of a fucking 60 second promo which contains NO SCENES FROM THE FILM??? What are you fucking red-necks on?? You make me fucking sick. Oh, and to the imbecile who reckons the original three Charlies Angels are sexier than these three....ermmmm....no they're not my friend. Still not convinced? Hmmm, let me try another approach. Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore are slinking towards you, naked and covered in baby oil - their mouths are open in expectation and they're softly whispering your name - now, quickly replace them with the original three. You're telling me you're going to be happy? You fuck-wit. Charlie's Angels has become the latest in a LONG line of films that's FASHIONABLE to bash. You know NOTHING ABOUT IT YOU FUCKING MORONS!! Oh, BTW, I'm not a huge fan of the idea, but I'll give the film a chance - I just detest the slack-jawed, lemming-like need to jump on a bad buzz bandwagon months before anyone sees a fucking frame. You are mindless imbeciles. Splinter out.
-
...and make the one all guys everywhere wanna see..I Dream of Jeannie!! Lets here some suggestions on who should play Jeannie. Should she be blonde like Barbara Eden or brunette? Redhead? Ahh the possibilities are endless! Personally I see Jenna Elfman as one possible Jeannie. I'm sure I'm overlooking hundreds more. Lets here it people! Who else wants Jeannie? I'm sure hundreds of guys wanted thier own personal Barbara Eden at least once. I know I did! hehhehheh
-
Nikki Cox for a readheaded Jeannie and for a blonde,there is this one on Pacific Blue,she is goddamn beautiful! I can't remember her name thou. A little help here guys.

Talking of t.v adaptions, whatever happened to doctor who?
by jon l. ander
was the 10 dollar budget too much? I was really hoping to see
the good doc running round a quarry again. P.S the original angels have got nothing on Diaz and Liu, but Barrymore....well she ain't no oil painting. -
Regarding a choice between the original Angels slithering to me in my bed and these wannabes... give me Farrah, Jaclynn and Kate from the 70's any day. The "Avengers" trailer looked great, and we all saw what a piece of shit that was (made worse by the fact Sean Connery had committed to it for an easy pacheck)... let's look at what we have here... not even a decent trailer, but three girls jumping around making kung-fu faces as if they think they're the next best thing to Bruce Lee... I think the other poster who said this was going to be collecting dust with with the "Mod Squad" and "The Avengers" after it winks in and out of theaters in three weeks was correct. P.S. Splinter: No need to get all pissy, we can all agree to disagree.

Blondes: Charlize Theron,Dennise Richards,Reese Witherspoon,Drew Barrymore. Brunettes: Shannon Elizabeth,Milla Jovovich,Liv Tyler,Katie Holmes,Tiffani Amber Thiesen.

The thing that gets me 'all pissy', my dear Nitestar, is the tendancy to write films off, months before they appear. Do you love films? Or do you love to hate films? I can't fucking stand naysayers - I respect the work that goes into each and every film that gets made - I make up my mind AFTER I HAVE SEEN THE FUCKING THING. Milla Jovovich put it perfectly - after the 5th Element took a drubbing in the critical stakes - she said to a critic "I spent two years of my life pouring my heart and soul into this film - and you write it off after 2 hours?" I agree with you - the trailer was pants, but it didn't contain a single frame from the film. You, and the others above you, have absolutely NO idea what this film is going to be like. You PRESUME it is going to suck - as though you actually have some authority, or, better still, can see the future. It is insufferably arrogant to judge a film before you see it. Imagine doing that with music? Writing off albums before you even hear them? Would you do that? I didn't think so. This is a perfect example of the lowest common denominator mentality that plagues these Talkbacks. Some fucking moron comes along, happens to read a couple of posts from equally moronic individuals who say incredibly intelligent things like "This film will SUCK monkey balls!" and believe it. And thus begins the poisonous buzz - a bandwagon that grows and grows as more and more yokels, dragging their knuckles and grunting about their sisters, jump on board. Give the film a fucking chance, for crying out loud. I admit I DOUBT this will be Oscar standard, but I will reserve my opinion UNTIL I SEE THE FUCKING THING!! What part of that do you not understand? And finally, I don't mean to insult you personally here Nitestar, but Farrah, Jaclynn and Kate over Liu, Diaz and Barrymore? Thats just plain weird my friend. Splinter out.

Drew, Lucy and Cameron are dogs next to Farrah, Jaclyn and Kate
by cereal killer
I'll go see this movie but I don't hold out a lot of hope for it being that good. Since Drew decided that the girls won't be using guns I don't know how they're supposed to fight crime. Oh well, Bill Murray as Bosley is worth the price of admission alone. But to the guy who said he'd rather see Drew/Lucy/Cameron naked over Farrah/Jaclyn/Kate, are you crazed?? If you're comparing Farrah/Jaclyn/Kate at the height of "Charlie's Angels" there's no sexier trio around (although I'd trade Kate Jackson for Cheryl Ladd) Hell, in '76 I had the Farrah poster on my wall and dreamed about those nipples. Now I've seen them in Playboy and I admit they're a little scary. Jaclyn Smith is even now, in her 50's, the most gorgeous chick alive. God I wish they could convince her to pose for Playboy. As for Drew/Cameron/Lucy. They're the kind of chicks who look okay onscreen but I bet they look like hags without make-up. Drew with her Jay Leno chin and Betty Boop lips and tattoos. Yuck. Lucy Liu just gives me the creeps. Cameron Diaz looks good sometimes and bad sometimes. Her face is kinda funny looking. Without a make-up man and good lighting if these three came crawling up to your bed I bet you'd run screaming. You'd swear you were being attacked by the three blind witches from "Clash of the Titans."
-
How can they make a film with those starts look so very crap? I thought i was watching a Pantene shampoo ad. Poor Bill Murray.
-
I totally agree with Splinter that there's nothing more annoying than the "It's going to suck" remarks when you don't know shit about the project... "Charlie's Angels" is certainly not the film I can't wait to see... but I will certainly give it a chance, just for the fun of it. Although I have to admit this teaser/trailer is one of the worst I have ever seen... How Columbie did not notice that it looks really stupid (not in a fun way, REALLY silly)... I mean what's with the kung-fu things ?? What's with this model type of walking ??... Hope they come up with something better soon... BTW Eboe, you like "Dr Who"... be happy (or sad, it depends), a movie is on the way...
-
Splinter: Yes, I am prepared to write the film off after viewing the trailer. I thought the trailer for "Eyes Wide Shut" was pretentious and lame too... guess what? The movie certainly lived up to the trailer in my eyes once I caught it on pay-per-view this month (I was practically howling with laughter during the "orgy" scene). Crap crap crap, even worse so because itwas lauded as a "masterpiece" by virtue of it's director (sorry, Kubrick was overindulged like a spoiled baby by Warner Brothers, there's NO reason that movie should have taken 4+ years to make). My point is this... these TV programs had an endearing identity of their own, 70's cheese or not, and are constantly being bastardized by talentless hack producers who can't come up with any new or original ideas. To get swarms of paying audience members into seats they will take the name of something once popular and tack it onto whatever new crap they are putting out. "The Avengers". "The Mod Squad". "Lost in Space". "The Beverly Hillbillies". Can you imagine casting new actors to bring other original characters to life, say Kirk or Spock? The only logical reason to make some of these film adaptations is to continue stories with the original characters like the "Trek" series did. Very rarely do these grave-robbing films adapted from TV shows work ("The Fugitive" comes to mind as one that did) and sometimes only if it's an entirely new twist on the material (take "The Brady Bunch Movie"). Sorry if I sound cynical, I don't like being a naysayer before a film comes out based on the trailer (hey, "Phantom Menace" had us ALL fooled) but know what? I work in the industry and it makes me crazy to see so much money spent on crap films when there are so many wonderful, brand new stories to tell that won't get looked at unless you have attachments or first monies in place (try getting it together as an indy and you'll understand what I mean). Sorry if this has drifted off topic, to put it back on track, yes, I'd rather take Farrah, Jaclyn and Kate in their 70's heyday (toss Cheryl Ladd into the mix for me too) rather than these new Angels. I defy anyone to claim they weren't hotter than these pale replacements, their bodies covered in oil or not.
-
Dr Who movie, why? The recent pilot with "I" was lame and if thats the way the movie is heading then forget about it. The only glimmer of hope was when Eric Idle was attached, but then again he's not been in a film of any note since, well since Python. There must be more naff old American TV shows to basterdise rather than The Who. Whilst were at it, keep that Simon West away from The Prisoner and if you go near Saphire and Steel, well vengence will be mine.
-
Its refreshing to have a debate with someone who comes across as intelligent and articulate - if I had a penny for the amount of times my rants have been met with retorts such as..."Oh Yeah? Well....well FUCK YOU! You DICKHEAD!" It seems we actually agree in a lot of ways - perhaps Charlie's Angels is a somewhat 'dodgy' film to base my film-philosophy on, but I make no excuses. I agree with you completely about the vaccuous hellhole of re-treads and cash-cows that Hollywood has become. However, I stand my ground. Apparently meritless and unimaginative as Charlie's Angels sounds, I will still reserve my opinion until I see it. I have been wonderfully surprised in the past - films which had AWFUL buzz in the run-up turned out to be little gems. The levels of stupidity these Talkbacks plummet to 90% of the time REALLY gets up my arse. I detest people who can't make up their own fucking mind. 'Bad Buzz' as they call, is started in places just like this. As for our 'disagreement' about the relative sexiness/fuckability of the past/present angels....I guess its just a matter of personal taste. I'm not a big fan of what we in Dublin call '70's bods'...women, whether its biological or due to the absurd clothes they'd truss themselves up in, just DIDN'T look as attractive as women do today. With the exception of Daisy Duke and that bird from The Fall Guy. In my humblest opinion.
-
....farrah fawcett with a stolen cock. But cheryl ladd whups drew barrymore.
-
I'm not going to make any Judgements just yet based on the promo because it was no better or worse some of the other trailers out there. I don't see how the closeups prove anything though, yeah you're beautiful but you probably couldn't fight if your lives depended on it. I say they should've gone out and found some real Charlie's Angel's like Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock & Anita Mui, girls who really know what they're doing when it comes to kicking butt and not fucking around. I guarantee you that Drew, Lucy & Cameron would barely get their fists up before beaten half to death by Michelle, Cynthia & Anita, in fact, I think Michelle could probably take them on her own, same with Cynthia.
Kudos must go to Yuen-Woo-Ping for making them look so good onscreen, a first rate craftsman, who can make anybody look good and I guess it shows when you look at Lucy, Drew & Cameron attempting to look tough. Give me Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeoh anyday. -
Heh. Just kidding ;-) I understand your wish not to pre-judge films by their trailers, to wrap it up as you requested I will admit I am jaded. I have seen too many great trailers and poor films, and to me poor trailers indicate cheesy films, but truth be told it is all subjective. I enjoyed our debate as well.
Regards,
Nitestar -
I guess my attraction to the original Angels has to do with watching them during the seventies too at the peak of my hormonal development. I'd take Daisy Duke too ;-)
Nitestar -
Where's the little cartoon showing how the chemicals in the shampoo work? Crosseyed Asian women don't impress me, no matter how sweaty. They didn't look like they could kick ass, they looked like actors trying to look like people who can kick ass. Yawn.
-
o.k I just whatched the teaser (well twice because demm ladies are hot and much sexier than the orginal three) and errrr yes it looks complete crap! but it isnt the actual movie youre seeing so ill wait for the trailer thank you. OH yeh and WOLVIE6 scince when was Denise Richards blonde?
-
When they were doing those lame-ass kung-fu moves, all I could think of was "Fox Force Five" Who knows how the movie will turn out, but this trailer doesn't impress me. However, I would gladly douse each of the young starlets with a full complement of banana juice, should they ask.
-
the most soulless piece of unpromising fluff I've seen in years. The flash teaser for Hannibal was 95 percent text, and still managed to be more intriguing than this. Granted; as several have commented upon, the teaser does not have a single frame of finished film in it. But if the sleek tv-commercial aesthetics displayed here are indicative of what will be seen in the finished film, I'll be very surprised if this will be any good. The Avengers seemed more promising than this, and we all know what happened there...

Teaser trailer actually kind of cool but the movie will probably
by brendan3
...in interviews the cast has admitted that they've been shooting without a finished script. In fact, they started filming scenes before the story outline was finished, hoping to work the scenes they came up with into the final story. Yikes! The teaser trailer is just that... a teaser. It's meant to look over the top kitshy and succeeds in doing that while incorporating and updating the familiar Charlies Angels logo. There are reasons to think this movie will suck, but a promo teaser is not one of them.
-
...I needed a good laugh this morning, and this teaser did it.
Plus, I often judge movies on the teasers and trailers. Not so much if they are going to be good or bad, but to my taste. That is what trailers are for, isn't it? I don't deem something a bad movie just because I have no interest in it. -
There's nothing more amusing than models/actress doing little karate kicks. This is going to have stiff competition from Pamela Lee's V.I.P.: The Movie.
-
If they're waiting to see how this piece on inspid trash is going to do before deciding on making a Danger Girl movie, give me the shovel - I'll go bury it myself...
*sigh*
I wonder who got blown to agree to bankroll this crap?
-
Apart from the luminous beauty of Jacqueline Smith, I can't think of any good reason to remember anything from this damn show. So to hell with this . . . when am I gonna see a Dukes Of Hazzard remake? Maybe Bo, Luke and the General Lee can do a scene-stealing cameo, or even have the General Lee mowing the Angels down in a hit-and-run. Then we can have Boss Hawg raised from the dead, bringing the Angels with him, and we all have a fine thigh-slappin' good time down at the Boars Nest, and I get to stare at Daisy's legs one more time . . . **sniff** . . . god, I LOVE that show . . . . Jes the Good Ole Boys . . . never meanin' no harm . . .
-
for good reason, but Ol' painless, that last post made me piss in my pants.
Had to watch that show for years, and hated it. Now when I'm alone, if it's on the TNN network (don't know if you get that in NZ) I watch it. I need a shrink.
Just a good ol' boys....never meaning no harm....been in trouble with the law since the day they were born.....
not that's American (redneck) music at it's best! -

This film will have at least three things going for it...
by hero for hire
[1] Beautiful women -- I'm not going to compare them to the original Angels, because I was born out of that age group, sothe 70's fashions seem a bit absurd. But Diaz/Barrymore/Liu are hot. How hot exactly remains to be seen. [2] Kung-fu -- No guns means lots of unarmed combat. I have a good feeling about pretty gils kicking ass. [3] BILL MURRAY -- The man brings class to every role he's in. Look at him strut and pose in the trailer, he's at least as hot as Lucy Liu. Let's be clear. I am not expecting a magnificent work of art from this movie. I expect fun, a clever script and a few spy twists. If the movie lacks those, then maybe I'll feel disappointed.
-
Man, what's with all the Drew bashing???? She's a honey and no mistake - check out the Wedding Singer. I pity the fool who ignores the beauty of Miss B.
-
I certainly would. I'd write off new albums before hearing them by: Hanson, Kid Rock, Stryper, Britney Spears, the asshole who wrote "The Curley Shuffle", Jennifer Love Hewitt, the asshole who wrote "Pac Man Fever", etc... If I see a movie trailer, and it looks like shit, it usually is.
-
The series was Aaron Spelling JIGGLEVISION. It was the Baywatch of it's time, using the beautiful women to cover up for poor writing, repetitive plots and lame action. The only thing "classic" about the show was the look on teenage boys faces when their parents walked in on them "polishing the bishop" while watching an episode. This movie will probably be an improvemment over the series IN EVERY WAY: a better cast, better script, more lavish production, and better fight scenes. *******************************
PS Splinter is absolutely right. A teaser trailer is just that: something that gives you just the smallest glimpse of a film without giving any details away. Judging a movie based on THAT is like judging a novel based on randomly selected words from Chapter 14. Have a little hope. Peace. -
Lucy Liu SQUINTS! She SQUINTS! Am I the only one who can see that? Am I in the Twilight Zone? Lucy Liu shouldn't be in Charlie's Angels, she should be in "The Adventures of Squinty Girl", because her eyes are so close to each other you could actually swear she's a cyclops! When you look at a normal person's eyes, you see, in that order: white - color- white - white - color - white. With Squinty Liu, it's more something like white - black - white. If you want to share your thoughts on that important topic, JOIN our "Lucy Squints" Club. Satisfaction guaranteed!
-
. . . you're telling me. Gorged in my formative years on a steady diet of US TV (my little country too poor to turn out enough of its own), I thought Hazzard County WAS America for a while, all car chases, stunts, and shootin'. Luckily, The A-Team came out, and set me straight . . . Until I started watching the evening news, and found out I'd been right all along! :) Charlie's Angels was too early for me - I was too busy killing toy soldiers with bits of dirt in my Mum's garden to be caught using the services of Mrs Palmer and her Five Daughters on Mr John Thomas in front of the TV . . .
-
Maryland Public Television is finally showing the Tom Baker episodes of Dr. Who (which I believe were exclusive to NJ public TV in the US until recently) and I get to see the second Romana every Saturday night at midnight. JOY! The second Romana is one of my top five all-time hottest sci-fi babes. As for CA, you must remember, this is a Bill Murray movie. Bill Murray does not make unfunny movies. Also, Drew, Cameron & Lucy are comedians. My hope is that this movie is more of a live action Power Puff Girls. Silly stunts and silly jokes. Giggling girlies and big explosions. None of that pseudo-feminism of the TV show. Finally, Drew Barrymore pictures make money. Ever After didn't break $100 mil, but it cost about $5 dollars to make and nearly every woman I know owns a copy of the video (mostly because of the shoes). The Wedding Singer was saved from being another Adam Sandler movie by the charm of Ms. Barrymore. Bad Girls, Boys on the Side, etc. make money (net profit) because people like Drew. Not huge money, but a couple of million is nothing to sneeze at.
-
...to see a "Greatest American Hero" movie...get Brian Dennehy to play Bill, spice up the soundtrack with a Will Smith remix of that "Believe it or Not" song and BOOM! - instant quality entertainment.
-
F.Y.I. Drew Barrymore's last few films have been quite profitable.
Scream: 100 million plus
Wedding Singer: 60 million plus
Ever After: 50 million plus
Never Been Kissed: 50 million plus
That's in the U.S. alone, and not counting video, cable, ancillary etc. I'm not the biggest fan, but could the moron who doesn't check his facts take a visit to IMDB. -
OMG!! This is a comedy right? Or are they seriously going to try to pish this as a Drama/Sction flic. Reminds me of the scene on Letterman where Crispen Glover went nuts "I can kick, i can punch". Heh i can think of a few other things i can spend my 8$ on.
-
Oh yeah, another thing...didn't the original silhouette feature one of the Angels holding a gun? I'm no gun nut, but are you telling me this movie has been PCed out to the point where guns can't be shown in the trailer? Let me guess, all conflicts in this movie will be solved via witty dialog (sprinkled with several pop - culture references), sexual manipulation of the supporting villans (look for this to be used A LOT), and choreographed hand - to - hand fighting? I can't wait...
-
This is going to reek big time! Murray might save it with his comedic timing, but overall it looks like a heap of shit! Aaron Spelling can go to hell while choking on his money.
-
Splinter is right in that a lot of people in AICN talkbacks seem to bash on films before seeing them just because it's fashionable. A bit of negative buzz comes out, and suddenly a lot of "knowing" people pipe in. Like a piling on effect. What, are there a bunch of lemmings who come to this site? HOWEVER, in the case of "Charlies Angels", while I will certainly reserve final judgement until the movie comes out, there are certainly signs of what to expect. They've had something like 30 re-writes on the script -- many of those AFTER production started, I understand. The production has been described as a shoot in search of an ending. Hollywood's history of doing films based on old TV shows is pretty bad. Hollywood's history of doing big budget films without a solid script and well-thought-out concept of what the film will be is pretty bad. Put them both together, and you've got the recipe for what could be a bad film. Oh yes, the concept: The TV series focused on three Private Investigators who tackled local crimes. The movie focuses on three women who fight "international terrorism" and whatever else they said. Probably should've kept it local. What next, a "Rockford Files" motion picture where Jim Rockford fights Nazis? When you take something out of its natural element... Well, like I said, I'll reserve judgement until it comes out. (And did I mention the lack of guns? Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh the Angels are not!)
-
Chickasaw county was where the real action was! Remember that badass sherriff with the mirrored aviator shades? One look at him, and ol' Roscoe P. Coltrane would wet his govt. issues! Although, I'll give Hazzard props for the Boar's Nest. That looked like the kind of place you could get blind drunk and laid in with little or no effort. Plus, Daisy Duke's cutoffs were instant splooge-makers. Many a set of ESB sheets were destroyed in those days thanks to that little minky.
-
When people say such things as "I'll wait to reserve judgement until I see it", automatically you place your support in an ABOMINATION that should never have been made. You must be able to make some kind of pre-judgement on these kinds of things, otherwise you perpetuate the cycle of bad filmmaking. Naysayers are the only ones SAVING this damnable industry. I swear you really CAN tell the quality by the trailer. Although some stuff can fool you, i.e. TPM. Just open your eyes to this, man! This is not something you want to see! I have no sound on my computer here at work. Poor Bill, slicking back his hair like that just makes him look like a big ass hole. He deserves better. It is a silly, worthless jaunt back into the way overused nostalgia of 70's fluff. It does no good to "wait and see". Stop supporting these non-movies, for the money they spend promoting this SHIT gets in the way of other fare worthy of our $9. And there's no way these actresses could camp it up like Kate, Jaclyn, Farrah, Cheryl, even Tanya Roberts. Sure, Drew & Co. are all worthy actresses and good to look at, but they're not Charlie's Angels, and they look like idiots in trying to be them. If you really cannot tell that this movie should have been stopped long ago, then we might as well bend over and let the studios fuck us with all their hardened pooplogs they want. You are the johns of the prostituting studios. F you.
-
If this movie isn't made as a goof, if they actually take themselves seriously, then they missed the boat. I just watched this thing here at work where I don't have a sound card, and I thought the thing was hilarious. By the by, the Brady ting that's coming on NBC is a Behind the scenes, Tell all, Here's what really went on, Sex Drugs and Bullcrap movie of the week. Not a new series (thank the maker)

BWAHAHAHAHA!!.. Was I the only one laughing my ass off at this a
by dash101
Er hum..
BWaaahahahahah! The obvious 'James Bond' spoof was cute, but what made me not want to see this film in any way at all was the absolutly LAME glamour shots of the 3 girls looking all swave with their names whooshing about the screen. And then the ending? With all that explosive fire.. WHAT THE HELL WAS WHAT??
What a fucking joke!! -
I'm a work-a-day stiff, and I sit in front of a computer all day long. The last thing I want to do when I get home is sit in front of another one, so I rarely read Talk Backs
-
Jamie was dead right. This DOES look like a shampoo add. I'm sure Ibsen is turning in his grave, that he never wrote anything with as much depth and character subtlety as this trailer. What about when that ball of flame rushed towards us, engulfing Cameron, Drew and Lucy? They carried on high-kicking! Are they flameproof?
-
If you get a chance to see Charlie's Angels re-runs on TV, you'll notice that the silhouettes of Kate, Jacyln and Farrah in their "kata" are surrounded by fire in the opening credits before each show.
I suppose the trailer is paying homage to this. This is similar to trailers for Mission Impossible that show an animated fuse burning intercut with scenes from the movie. You'll recall that MI's opening credits for the TV show featured the fuse intercut with scenes from the evening's episode.
Furthermore, MI's trailer then went into the dossier scene using a computer search in lieu of TV's 8 x 10 glamour shots of Peter Graves and cast.
It's an attempt to catch the flavor of the original TV show. No wonder Batman with Michael Keaton sucked! No da-da-da-da-da Batman and nice animated BIFF and POWs in the opening credits! Just kidding.
What really would've been sweet at the end of Batman Forever is a scene where Robin laments about the Riddler blowing up the car. Batman says he always keeps a spare around.
Batman pushes a button then the rotating platform rises with the George Barris Batmobile on it except no red bat thingies on it. Batman and Robin jump into the vehicle and like on the TV show flames start to blow from the exhaust.
Cut to scene inside car where Robin is about to sing da-da-da-da-da. Batman says don't even think about it. Then they rush off on another adventure. Roll end credits.
Now that would've been cool if the movie was as good as Superman II. It wasn't, so it may have been a wasted gesture. -
I'm working on this movie as an extra and let me tell you- this film will rock your world!!! Drew, Cameron and Lucy are working really hard on their martial arts and they can kick your ass. There is a lot of hardcore violence, sexy outfits, and some funny jokes .

OK, don't mean to beat a dead horse, but you sure did vent some frustrations on some things that I said, like "this movie looks stupid beyond belief". Since when was an opinion on a teaser/trailer considered impolite? Hello! Harry & Co. posted this trailer here for a reason. For us, the talkbackers, to plainly express our opinions on what we just downloaded! I would never wish ill-will on the stars, producers, or anyone involved in the show. But I can damn sure form an opinion on what they just gave me. As I said before, I STILL think this movie's gonna suck. I can easily form an opinion based on previous experiences of watching movies or trailers. There's nothing wrong with that at all! If the movie ends up being better than I expected, or word of mouth gets out that I may have been premature in my judgment, then who gets rewarded? Me! And you, and the audience. Case in point: The Fifth Element. You quoted Milla Jovovich about how she poured her heart and soul into the movie and some asshole dismissed it. When that movie came out, I was in the same boat as most of my friends in saying that it didn't look that special. I never went so far as to say it would suck, but that's beside the point (Luc Besson being an admired director of mine). Anyway, I waited for it to come out on video, expecting some decent sci-fi fare. Lo and behold, I thought it was a great movie. My final point is this: if you want me to plunk down $8.25 to go see a movie, you've gotta make me want to SEE the movie. So yes, I'm grading this teaser as PURE SHIT, and making dumbass judgments on the movie itself without seeing a single clip...and I'll do it again so long as there's a talkback to go to. If I eventually see this movie when it comes to TV or video, and it's good, oh well, slap me in the face. My opinions aren't correct 100% of the time. I can change my mind, I am capable of admitting I'm wrong. That moment hasn't been reached yet for Charlie's Angels.
-
People keep mentioning them here, but I have no idea who they are. Am I out of touch?****PS - This is a TEASER, not a TRAILER, as some people are calling it. There's a big difference.
-
...they must have been afraid of all the flak they've been hearing since they released the trailer, because now it's gone now from their site...
-
I don't see any trailer, just a couple of broken links. Fix the URLs or put up some mirrors, please.
-
A reunion movie will be airing at the end of next week on CBS. It'll suck ass just like the last one did, but I'm watching it anyway.
-
Not only does this movie boost a horrible cast, but it just looks really stupid, and plus Drew Barrymore looks really ugly, and fat, and stupid with red hair. They should of gotten some one much hotter, and thinner. I have no suggestions, but someone better. Although John August might be the only saving grace this POS has to offer.
-
Where did the teaser go, the link doesn't work. Help, Please, HELP!!!
-
Yeah, it should be cool, but Daisy Duke is more like Daisy Puke these days. Big, chewed-bubble-gum ass hanging out of those shorts. Pendulous gut under that bippy top. Ponderous, man, ponderous. On topic: Repeated viewings have led me to the conclusion that this is the crummiest trailer ever made.
-
Duke Ray, Sr. always taught his son to defend the ladies, so here goes: Yes, this movie is a comedy ... or comedy/adventure to be more specific. Sam Rockwell (Galaxy Quest) plays a villain in it, Bill Murray plays Bosley... get the picture? Don't knock the Angels so quickly, hombres. Now, it might not be funny, but leave the ladies be and go dance with yourself for now, got me?
Duke Ray out. -
i don't get it i thought the show sucked!!!so how is this going to be any good?
-
That it's funny. They post this shit (cock)teaser that looks so stupid that they suddenly think: "Oh, shit. What did we just do?" and pull the thing. With all the creative minds in Hollywood, you'd think they could've looked at this before allowing AICN talkback lob their grenades at this no-future-havin' poonfest. This site's become a total buzz-sensor for movies. If the talkback's lookin' bad, yer movie's bound to tank. That's what I think. Love the work, Harry. Now whadup with the official word on Hayden?
-
Jeez. At least we should take it as a comedy even if it isn't intended that way. I mean HOW COOL WAS BILL MURRAY! God I love that guy. He alone made the trailer worth watching. Yes it has a high potentiality to be cheesy, but it could also be funny. This seems to be a role MADE for Bill Murray. I have been a huge fan of his and have been eager to see him really sink his teeth into something with as much potential as this.
-
Harry, your links are slipping...
Anyway, there is only one reason for watching this film- BILL MURRAY! The guy is a comedic genius. I will watch anything he is in, so I don't really care if this film is good or not. I cannot repay this guy enough for his sterling work in films like 'Ghostbusters'. ('So where are you from...originally?' How many years later and it still cracks me up!)Diaz was good in The Mask, she's glamorous enough. Lui just freaks me out, she's creepy in some strangely indefinable way. I would have gone with Tia Carrera. As for Drew...if she hadn't done a wholelot of hellrasing we all would have forgotten her after E.T. Sorry to all Drew's fan-boys out there! -

She's perfect. Go ahead... tell us we're wrong. She rocks! The Undead have spoken.

It looked awful until Bill Murray's name came up. I think the funniest part of the film is going to be the three women pulling off all their insane karate in what they think is a serious and cool way. We'll have to wait and see how strong the studio heads are in getting any of the girls naked in a desperate attempt to sell a few more tickets. Not only will this movie probably fail, despite Murray, but it will most likely give a few of the late-nite TV hosts something to joke about.
-
This is tongue in cheek, idiots. God damn! Get a life. There is supposed to be a comedic aspect to this movie. Quit taking everything so seriously. It's a movie! Does the phrase, "Suspension of Disbelief" mean anything to any of you? P.S. Do any of you work. Fuck! I'm out!
-
Whoa, that was...uhh, pretty freakin lame!! 100+ million for this!!!!??? I DO NOT see this film as a serious threat to any action film being released from now until the end of the year (groan, even Battlefield Earth looks like it would be more fun to sit through). To think people on this site are worried abut X-Men being bad! I would not want to be the peon who has to take the blame, and explain why the film almost made a negative amount of money on its opening weekend because people wanted the studio to pay them to see this movie!! The second trailer would have to be so mind-numbingly good, for me to change my opinion of this film as being even more of a guaranteed flop than Battlefield Earth. Every year ha s a small handfull of heavily-hyped blockbusters that turns out to be a money-pit of ishtar like proportions. These films are written off by the studios around tax time, and explained to the public as an aberration, a bad film that someone tried to save by throwing cash at it, and it looks like we have one of the winners with Charlies Angels!! Why oh why!! does Hollywood refuse to abandon a sinking ship, and what is up with the constant and time proven losing strategy of throw a few million more at a film, and assuming everything will be just fine! If this film is not proof that half the people who finance films in Hollywood have had lobotomies, and cannot think for themselves...than I do not know what is!! They say you cannot smell crap in cyberspace...but I could see the steam rising from this trailer that is basically a pile of doo.

by superninja
I hope as hell they're going comedy all the way with this -- maybe even the Brady Bunch "we're making fun of ourselves" bit. I like Drew and Cammie, but their "moves" looked rather non-lethal. Gotta agree with everyone here -- Bill Murray saves it, but when doesn't he? International espionage? When? And I'm female, and even I'm asking -- WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE SKIN? I would also like to see a Dukes of Hazzard remake, if not for the sheer white-trash fun of it all. God bless Boss Hogg.
-
There is no need to make I Dream of Jeannie into a film. Duke of Hazzard? Now you're talkin'!

Uh, I would take the original trio anyday. And you're right --
by superninja
If I had the recast choice, it would be Catherine Zeta Jones (not because she's fanboy favorite, but because she's sexy and looks like a grown woman), Charlize Theron (with the 90s Farrah do) and if you want to get ethnic, Gina Torres (from t.v.'s Hercules and Cleo 2525). I wish someone would give Gina her big break already!
-
This is going to be very bad. Hopefully it will be sooo bad that it will be good in a cheesey kinda way. But then again, it's probably just going to suck....
-
You need to relax ... Are you really gonna spend cold hard cash on this thing?
-
Sheesh Splinter, if everyone who posted in talkback saw the film, then there would not be much activity on this site. The point of talkback is to talk about the reviews and info posted on AICL, not just for people who saw the film whose reviews were not a part of the main body of the text people are commenting on. And another thing, if people did not write about movies that they have not seen on talkback than you could not go off on your baby oil to jerk off rant!! So shut the fuck up, we are doing you a favor by letting you be a spaz and whine about everyone else on this talkback board.
-
Don't tell me this wouldn't be good if done right. Especially if done with the right chick! Its every guys fantasy! With all the crap TV flicks made or being made they have to try to redeem themselves. This is beggin for a remake!

I wasn't even considering this film until I found out Bill Murray was in it. Preparing to kiss $13 goodbye now just to watch him smirk.

What's wrong with you people? Charlie's Angels was campy then...
by titoj
...and it makes sense it's campy now! What the hell?!?! We're talking about frail model-chicks beating up the big bad guys; not exactly the epitome of seriousness.
-
That is one of the crappiest trailer I've seen in my life(3rd from a spiceworld commercial and another movie trailer starring polie shore).Like i wrote in the title,it seems that hollywood is actually supporting and endorsing the usage of drugs by showing that everyone who contributed in this piece of sh*t wasn't able to think soberly or not under the influence.
-
Bewitched, you twits.
Meg Ryan = Samantha,
Jim Carrey = Darrin,
Dabney Coleman = Larry Tate,
Ray Romano and Christine Baranski = the Kravitzes,
and jeez - Dr. Bombay is STILL among the living! Hurry, damn your eyes!
-
Remember kids, this film is comedic in nature. And what's great about that is that in theory the filmmakers know this. Unlike a Jean Claude Van "Damm this film sucks" flick or a Steven Segal picture, they are not trying to make a serious action film that inadvertantly gets laughs because it sucks so bad. They've intentionally made a comedic film here with a super ridiculos plot line because the plot is secondary to the "fun" of the film. You'll want to see this movie because it's light and will make you laugh, and those chicks are just plain HOT.
-
Honestly...do you jackasses want to sit through two hours of these girls taking themselves seriously? As for myself, I want to see lots of those big, big titties! And in between, why shouldn't Bill Murray make me laugh a little?
