Final SPY KIDS Trailer Online NOW!!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Last week, a number of sites reported that there was a new SPY KIDS trailer up online. If any of you actually downloaded that trailer, though, you know it was the same trailer as before, and proabably wondered what the deal was. Well, it was a goof. A simple goof. And now the final trailer is actually up, and AICN wants you to check it out!!
http://a1776.g.akamai.net/5/1776/51/cde6171bb2d9f4/1a1a1aaa2198c627970773d80669d84574a8d80d3cb12453c02589f25382f668c9329e0375e81784ed5fc02d8e0635a81891f05bc4289b/spykids_trlr_480.mov>It's right here!!
Special thanks to the little birdie that just dropped this tidbit in my mailbox. I can't wait to see the film. I still say the best thing Rodriguez has done is "Room 309 - The Misbehavers," and that's the vibe I'm getting off the trailers and TV spots for this movie. That's good enough to get me there opening weekend. Until then...
"Moriarty" out.

Okay, is anyone else disturbed by what has appeared between Harry's legs in the current animation? There's beaver shots and then there's peyote surprise.

As a debut Hollywood film, Desperado was boatloads better than most first Hollywood films (eg, Antoine Fuqua and Replacement Killers). That's why he may seem to be evolving slower than other - He was already fucking good to begin with. Having said that, Spy Kids does look like different fare for him. I'm sure kids will find this movie to be cool. Personally, I get nasty "Disney's My Favorite Martian" vibes, but I'm not the target audience. Let's hope that Rodriguez gets to do Predator 3!

The Spykid Girl is cute too when she is wearing that black trenchcoat at the end of the trailer. Very Matrixy.

stay away from those kids!!! You're bad you're bad- you know it- you're bad!

You all had better be right about how good this is supposed to be...

This actually looks wicked!! Looks like one I can drab my little sister too and say "Oh, I'm only going cuz *she* wants to go." :)

Robert Rodriguez is a hackadasical director. Why are people interested in his crap movies?
-
If it wasn't for Banderas or Rodreegrass this movie would be straight to video, and would have half the effects budget. SO THERE. Foon.

I dunno...really liked that The Misbehaver's short as well.
by superninja
But of course a family film would and shouldn't be that dark. If the script is as clever as everyone says, it could be fun. My favorite child performance ever is Francis from Swiss Family Robinson..."come here little fella...I won't hurt you..."

... when the Buzz-signal (a giant middle-finger beamed out by a searchlight) caught my eye through the window. The Buzz-phone rang. It was Elizabeth Rodriguez, wife of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. "Mr. Maverik, is it really you?" "That depends, doll,"I said. "We need your help. I believe Robert is possessed." "Have a cashiers check ready when I get there." I drove the Buzz-mobile over to the Rodriguez comfortable home. After a brief examination, I concured that Robert was indeed possessed by an evil spirit. "Somehow, the demon JoeDante has gotten ahold of Robert," I told his wife. "It has turned him into an indulgent filmmaker who is ready to sacrafice plot, character and reason for repetitive spectacle at a moment's notice. Do you have any idea how this started?" "It was when Robert was doing DESPERADO. He was playing with a Woo-jai board..." "Say no more. I'll start the exorcism."
-
I'm considering going to see this movie. If I do, there better not be people in the theatre taking calls on their wirelss phones.
ROBERT RODRIGUEZ RULES!!!! -

Isn't the premere being screened @ Michael Jackson's crib
by brooklyn bred
At least that's what I heard. But seriously why are grown ass men who do not have kids even discussing this?
-
I have to say. . . this looks really pretty damn cool. Sure, it may be kind of a cheesy kids flick (although there's hope... Rodriguez is no idiot, after all,) but at least we know it going in --as opposed to finding out as we watched it, like Phantom Menace-- plus, I think there's plenty of potential for this to be a genuinely fun movie regardless of your age. Hell, I've always wanted to make a Calvin & Hobbes movie, if it could be done, and just because a kid is the main character doesn't mean the movie HAS to be bad. Looks like this may be the closest thing to seeing my wish granted. . . a family film with tremendous special effects and great humor. I'm sold. Way to go, RR. (Of course, if I don't like it, I want my money back, Robert.) Lightstormer out.

Rodriguez is an exceptionally gifted filmmaker, who unfortunately has worked with sub-par scripts so far. The only exception has been self-penned "The Misbehaviours", which was great stuff in all ways. The trailer rocks. It simply has a sense of all around fun that I haven't seen in some while... Kids are going to love this and Rodriguez will be a major player in Hollywood when the franchise starts rolling. No wonder they are already planning a sequel. If a "childrens action film" like Home Alone makes close to 300 million domestically, then Rodriguez has a huge hit in his hand. According to the trailer this film will be a highly entertaining comedy-actioner with good performances (both kid's rule), awesome action and inventive visuals. If the script is any good at all, I'm definitely going to see it. "It's only a kiddie film", some idiots here seem to cry. Yeah, so are Toy Story 1 & 2, Chicken Run and Phantom Menace as well, not to mention countless of others.

regarding the beaver of course.

Maybe the best spy movie parody since Val Kilmer in Top Secret? I'll see it.

I wanted to say that, also that this film looks interesting and finally a little off topic, but speaking of trailers, can anyone tell me the name of the song and who sings it that is on the BLOW trailer. The lines I remember are:
"Make sure you're connected/writings on the wall/make sure you're connected/catch me if I fall"
ANyone. Please post a response or send an e-mail to Holidaydill@hotmail.com. The email I have attached here is not right. Thank you. -

i didn't say all white people you idiot all i said is that there are a few white people that don't like robert because his name isn't bay or speilberg, they are just mad because mexicans are coming up and we're going to take over. beleive me, if you gave us the budget, the stars, the everything everyone else gets we (hispanics) will make powerful and great movies. robert is trying to do the same thing by bringing us up and make us look good. and what is it with the brad pitt movie "the mexican" what kind of bullshit is that? we don't shoot guns in the air for some occasion. that movie stereotyped us to be dirty and nasty. what the fuck!!!!!!??? people just don't give a shit about anything. that movie should have been called the cursed gun instead of the mexican. there is no such thing as the mexican. i swear some white people make me sick. im going to make movies in hollywood and show you guys who's boss by making a movie called "the honkey" and make you people look like hillbillies and dumbshits. have a nice day

Joe Dante is my favrote director. He's never made a bad movie. Gremlins. Gremlins 2. Innerspace. Small Soldiers. Explorers. The list goes on and on. His movies are FUN, funny, and often contain so many inside jokes even the geekiest of film geeks doesn't pick up on them all. I did not approtoate Buzz's anti-Dante comments. I've always said that Dante is one of the most underrated directors in the business and NEEDS more work. By the way, SPy Kids looks like a "Three Ninjas"-ish kid-vid peice of crap. I don't know how a talented director like Rodriguez could POSSIBLEY think this piece of crap is worthy of his attention and I think its downright WEIRD that so many people are acting like this is a movie that truely deserves attention.
-
I like Joe Dante too. I think I'm the only person who likes THE BURBS. In my opinion, though, when Joe doesn't have a strong script or a strong producer (GREMLINS), he can lapse into indulgence and his movies basically fall apart, i.e. EXPLORERS, MATINEE, GREMLINS 2. Along the same lines, I like Robert Rodriguez but I think he has some of the same problems as Dante. EL MARIACHI was an excellent film because RR was reigned in by budget constraints. DESPERADO had many great moments, along with great humor and acting, but it showed us the same gunfight too many times. FROM DUSK 'TIL DAWN disentegrated when the characters enter the Titty Twister. It was fun at first, but again the vampire battles were repetitive. I'm not a big believer in the auteur theory. This doesn't apply to Dante, but RR would do better with a great script written by someone else, controlled by a creative producer. Dante doesn't write his own material, thank God, but he needs better scripts and a producer who will make him stick to them.
-
Sounds good. Do you have a treatment I can look at?
-
Dude... why's it gotta be that way? Look at your words... "i have full faith in robert. i bet you damn haters are white, i know you are because that's the only haters he has. damn white people." What if I was going on about a director I liked and all of a sudden, you saw: "i have full faith in [so-and-so]. i bet you damn haters are Mexican, i know you are because that's the only haters he has. damn Mexicans." ?? It would suck if I said that. Why? Because it's random; it's from out of nowhere, and it's unsubstantiated. If someone doesn't like Rodriguez, then they just don't like him. (Yes, even if it's only because his name isn't Bay or Spielberg. It's not an intelligent reason, but it's still a reason.) Why should race be an issue? Are you claiming that Rodriguez's critics only dislike his films because these critics are WHITE? That's unfair, dude. Think about it this way: You're talking about two different classifications of people. Number one - people who don't like RR. Number two - white people. Now how in the world do you come to the conclusion that you MUST be the latter to be the former? That's all I'm saying. I hope I've made some kind of sense....

ronquillojetli is a moron, and people seem to be forgetting....
by fat lot of good
Firstly, ronquillojetli is a moron for saying that white people hate Robert Rodriguez because he is Mecxican. Thats like saying we hate Hitchcock because he is British! And for all those dissers of the trailer, are you forgetting Robert Rodriguez's award winning short 'Bedhead'? The one starring his younger sister and brother, which is filled with great action and is also a good story? I feel this Spy Kids trailer heralds back to that. I think the trailer looks awesome and I can't wait to see it. The only sucky thing is that you whingey yanks (by that I mean the ones who say the trailer sucks) get the film this month. Here in Australia we don't even have a release date yet.

You say the Mexican is stereotypical? Dude Ilive in Australia. I have to turn on the tv every week and be confronted with Survivor 2: The Australian Outback! There are not that many croc's in this country, and they are not all living in the swamp right near the Ogakor camp. How about the Croc Dundee movies? They have set the perception of Australia back to about the 1950's. But an Australian wrote it I hear you say. Yes he did. And here in Australia we are able to LAUGH at ourselves. When we have to sit through Ameican show after American show filled with American actors all doing really bad Aussie accents we just laugh. That is what I think you should do when you see Hollywood portraying the Mexican as the sort who shoots his gun in to the air to show his happiness. Learn to laugh at yourself and stop the hate
-
Like i said before i don't hate all white people, it's just that you people can be unfair about a lot of things and that is why we only hang out with our own people. in other news honkey will star matthew mcconaughey as hillbilly bob who looks at the mexican race and wishes he was mexican. so he tries to walk the walk and talk the talk but he cant because he isn't that talented. that is all i have for now, you peeps give me some more ideas and help me out. but the ending must be very good like whites and mexicans finally become friends and respect and accept one another and stop stereotyping one another. i must have harry knowles in a cameo as the white guy who gets baptised by the mexicans because he's cool like that.
-
...Got yer attention? This movie might suck or it might be great...I haven't seen any advance notices and recognize how uneven he's been...However, I strongly suspect it will have at least one popcorn munching filmic image that will make you poo your visionless pants. Listen folks, Rodriguez is a big kid. He draws comics (pretty damn well), and loves hyper-genre pieces. He's really good at directing kids, can create really cool boards, and effectively makes live-action comic books. Spy Kids looks like he had a great time. If you're expecting Requiem for a Dream, Bicycle Thief, or (insert melodramatic bloodfest title)you're not the audience. If you are of the diseased opinion that a movie made for kids cannot/should not be watched by adults...well thank God none of you are making movies then. Remember, you're not cool because you are all grown up...you're just getting old...and God help you at fifty if you've forgotten what made you happy at ten. I really hope he's been able to pull off what looks like a really fun amusement park attraction. For the love of crap, what other studio action film coming out this month looks worth the price of a matinee? I'm gonna see this bastard with a grinning mouth full of Peanut Butter Cups, Popcorn, and extra syrup Mr. Pibb...That will give me just the right number of items to throw at the screen if he completely fucks this up.
-
Put Marisol Nichols and Salma Hayek, in "The Honkey." They can have a lesbian sex scene. I'd pay to see that.
-
The kids even wear junior size MATRIX clothing, for Chrisake! Why can't these directors/writers use Matrix-type effects in a different venue. Like, for instance, they could show a lion (myself) killing a three-legged wildebeest in "bullet-time" - pause just as I soar through the air (without wire-fu), rotate as my claws lay bare his ribs, show my victim trying to "dodge" my wrathful fangs... but alas, he hits the dirt, where a punishing death awaits him.
Let's get some fucking originality here, people! Or my ass is gonna go on a rampage through the streets of Burbank and Hollywood, claws flying, throats being sliced - and NO Matrix-rip-off-making executive shall escape my path of annihilation!!

I didn't think that Matinee fell apart. I found it to be a very fun, breezy, coming of age story set during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The whole finale sequence in the movie theater was terrific, the deadpan parody of 1950s/1960s B-movies and giant monster films was hilarious. I think You are probably talking about the collapsing balcony, but even I thought that made the film interesting. Forgive me O Lord Buzz, but I must disagree with you. Won't happen again. Oh yeah and thanks Sleazy G your info helped me!Thanks man.
-
I might have to look at MATINEE again. I liked the movie a lot, especially the Cuban Missle angle and the kid with the Lenny Bruce albums. Maybe the frenticness of the matineee itself made it seem like the movie was falling apart, but that captured the Herschel Gorden Lewisness of the spectacle. Sometimes I have to make sure I'm not guilty of what I call the Ebert Sin (which I pronounce Ebair because he hates it when I do that): having an opinion on the movie I see and not the movie I wish I was seeing. Because if Dante and his producers would have gotten David Mickey Evans who did THE SANDLOT to do a polish on the MATINEE script, but in the words of Ronald Wilson Regan "there I go again".

I also liked "For the love of crap" as well. :-)

Ebert actually called him "BALD?" That's harsh, man. Them's is fightin' words.

I agree with you that we should all just get along and stop all the hatin'. It's a plain and simple wish, and not unreasonable, in my opinion. Basically, why should someone hate me for being white, when there are so many other and more substantial reasons that I'm such an unlikeable asshole? Another thing you said that registered in my mind is the point that "we [Mexicans] only hang out with our own people." I've kind of noticed that, too. At least, to a certain degree. Like, why is it that so many Mexican girls just don't like white guys? There seems to be this unspoken disapproval they have of us. (Which totally SUCKS, by the way, since Latin women are pretty much the most beautiful women on the face of the earth.) Thank God my girlfriend doesn't feel that way. She is Mexican, and she tends to get strange responses from her friends when she tells them she's dating me, this goofy-ass movie geek gringo. I don't know. Whatever. I just wish people would wake the fuck up and stop pigeonholing entire societies of people just because they're different. We're ALL different, when it comes down to it. Anyway... I should be going now. I think I'm about to hit my limit on posts for a single talkback in one night. STOP ME BEFORE I POST AGAIN! Lightstormer out.
