Let's clear something up. Harry says in his report that Ricardo Montalban is playing Carla Gugino

It is very cold in space. Harry, you are one lucky duck. smiles everyone, smiles.

What a crock of shit. I thought it'd be Burt Reynolds or somethin'.

THIS IS SETI ALPHA FIIIIIVE!!!!
Nevermind by IamMacGuffin	Nov 6th, 2001 10:42:19 PM
O.k., now I look like an idiot 'cause Harry just fixed his mistake. But maybe I can make it up my revealing something from the script: hmmmmmmm, let's see, well, Ingrid's parent's names are Joe and Helga....Ricardo WILL be in his wheel chair in the movie (of course) but he can transform it into a special device; and when Juni and Carmen are lost, it is GRANDPA that finds them. Don't wory, these are not big spoilers so enjoy them. MacGuffin out.
Ricardo = PERFECTION!! by spiderblood1969	Nov 7th, 2001 12:39:43 AM
He is the coolest,most suave guy ever.He has more style,grace and quiet badass cool than pretty much any actor working today.He is the man!
He's Okay But He's No Herve Villachez.... by Buzz Maverik	Nov 7th, 2001 01:46:38 AM
I hope there's no truth to the rumor that Ricardo would go out of his way to step on Herve each day on the set.
Bill Paxton?! Steve Buscemi?! Mike Judge!?!! by MaxCalifornia.	Nov 7th, 2001 02:14:55 AM
Some cast. I didn't see the first one, but I'll sure check this one out on cable. What's Bill's role I wonder...
You're fucking kidding!!! by Cash Bailey	Nov 7th, 2001 02:30:11 AM
Khan!!!! "De plane! De plane!" And it's good to see you out and about again, Harry.
Bill Paxton? by IamMacGuffin	Nov 7th, 2001 02:58:28 AM
I haven't heard anything about Bill Paxton being cast in this flick, but my guess is that he is playing the President. You can read more about the President's role in the film in my review of the script which Harry posted this past weekend. MacGuffin out
From hell's heart, I stabbeth thee. For hate's sake, I by Kaylob	Nov 7th, 2001 03:06:57 AM
Great line delivered by Khan in the movie from Moby Dick. Ricardo was also hilarious in Naked Gun.
Back problems by zacdilone	Nov 7th, 2001 03:32:56 AM
I had heard that Montalban had such extreme back problems that he would probably never act again. It is so heartwarming to see that report proved false. He is a real class act.
He Tasks me...He tasks me... by bluelou_boyle	Nov 7th, 2001 04:58:58 AM
He's also 80 years old !!!! Khan / Vincent Ludwig is now eighty years old !!! I never new that.
Rico...who? Never heard of him by Magic Milkmaid	Nov 7th, 2001 05:06:13 AM
One hell of an article though. wow.
He may be "The Latin Lover" to you... by BoBaBrain	Nov 7th, 2001 06:15:58 AM
But he's just "Mister Poopy-pants" to me. I guess the really famous people must be the obscure ones...
Truly Harry you are an ..... by Dr.Zeus	Nov 7th, 2001 07:10:48 AM
ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!! Ricardo Montalban!!!!!! He's one of the finest actors still breathing the free air. You are a lucky shit and I salute you.
infomercial by prince kamal	Nov 7th, 2001 07:29:28 AM
I love StarTrek2 and Naked Gun and even that tv movie of wonderwoman- but for me, when I think Montalban, I always think of him in this infomercial I saw where he's flogging these religious necklaces. He says (read in best Montalban voice): 'I...cherish my Christan Cross.. I KNOW you will too.' The way he said it always made me think- That man can be pretty creepy and frankly, a little scary. Good old Richardo. All together: Khaaaaaaan!
Harry cumming himself. by bastardman	Nov 7th, 2001 07:36:44 AM
Why is this site becoming nothing but Harry cumming himself because he met someone or saw something or read something. What happened to the days when this site would actually get scoops?
Who?? by CrapHole	Nov 7th, 2001 07:44:59 AM
Who in the crap is RICARDO MONTALBAN?
The "boom" is a big log pole with a microphone at the end... by Palmer Eldritch	Nov 7th, 2001 07:54:00 AM
...not the microphone itself. Microphones have been small for a LONG time now. The big fuzzy thing you always see is a windguard used for exterior shooting, and the small microphones go inside it - not necessary in a studio. Microphone technology has not been effected at all by the introduction of Hi Def video, on a proper movie shoot (using film or video), the microphone isn't even connected to the camera! And your elbows are between your hands and your shoulders, not at the top of youre legs.

Mr. Chapel & on Harry cumming by AuntieMeat	Nov 7th, 2001 09:03:09 AM
though the two things in the title have nothing to do with each other... About your question, Mr. Chapel. The city of Corinth from which Corinthian leather comes from is in Greece, if I remember correctly from my high school Greek plays and whatnot. As far as why this site has so many article which seem to be Harry "cumming" as one soul so lovingly put it... well, it's because we like it. We love when Harry gets a chance to justafiably geek out. It is a grand thing to witness, if not in person, then at least in writing. Seeing an uber-geek completely freak out is one of the most beautiful things ever. Ask anyone who went to the QT Fest this year... they will tell you of the wonder before their eyes as Quentin himself was going apeshit over the uber-god that this artlicle speaks of, and Quentin going apeshit is a thing of wonder to behold, so much so that you don't want to keep it to yourself. Harry sharing his excitement with the entire world who wants to read is awesome. It's why I came to this site in the first place, and why I still read on to this day. Fantastic job Harry. The fact that you got to meet Ricardo makes you all that much more cooler. Three cripples hanging out on set together, geeking together. What grand fun. ;)
whoops... I meant "Moire" by Palmer Eldritch	Nov 7th, 2001 09:18:39 AM
gee, doesn't that me look smart!
Harry must...now...kill...the queen. by Ambush Bug	Nov 7th, 2001 11:34:45 AM
Cool stuff meeting, Mr Rourke. I liked Spy Kids, but I wasn't blown away with it. I would rather see Rodriguez work on something a little more grittier. The cast seems top notch though for this one. And by the way, the server does indeed suck. Unbelievably sloooooow. Let's get on the ball, big guy. I mean, AICN is one of the best sites out there and legless sloths run faster.
Near perfect casting, may be perfect depending on how the film t by Videographer	Nov 7th, 2001 01:28:06 PM
whether Ricardo Montalban plays Antonio Banderas's character's father or father-in-law it is clearly inspired casting. There will undoubtedly be tension in their relationship where Banderas doesn't seem to be able to measure up to Montalban's standards. Who else could you cast that has past performances that proof the actor can be at least as smooth, suave, intelligent and tough as Banderas? As good as Banderas is, and he is very good, 'Spy Kids' was the first film I've seen him in where he had completely lost that 'pretty boy' quality. I can remember when I was a kid watching Montalban the first time he played Kahn. Without thinking about I just knew the guy was muscular, well over 6 ft tall and powerful. Pro-football big. I didn't learn until years later that the he is actually almost short and not that large a person. The sheer quality of his performance had me knowing he was huge powerful man. Turns out he is powerful hugely talented actor. Ricardo Maltaban in 'Spy Kids 2'? How can you read that without smiling?
Man... its only Ricardo Montalban?!?! by Scaught	Nov 7th, 2001 01:29:16 PM
Shit...I was hoping it was Don Knots!!
To be honest... by Jaka	Nov 7th, 2001 02:27:06 PM
...I thought it was going to be someone that is/or was silly big, by current standards. Arnold Schwarzenegger had corssed my mind. But as a 20 year Trek fan I am jazzed that Ricardo is still working. I also thought it was cool that Harry was eating lunch with Ricardo and Robert. It's not like I can call them up and invite them over for a BBQ.
I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round by Bruce T Shark	Nov 7th, 2001 02:37:50 PM
That was always my favorite line of Ricardos as Khan. He also rocked as the guest villain in an episode of Columbo opposite one of the other few remaining truly great ones - Peter Falk
Holy Purple Beach Balls Batman! by InTheBackRow	Nov 7th, 2001 05:07:31 PM
It always amazes me how easy it is to spot the educated and knowledgable people to ignorant little kiddies playing on their daddies computers. To all of you who shit on Harry's parade I think it's past your bedtimes because I hear your mommies calling you. So as Howard Stern would say if you don't like it or you aren't interested in it TURN THE FUCKING CHANNEL/DIAL/PAGE!!!!!!!!!! Most of us could care less about your uneducated opinions. If you think that nothing good every came from before Britany was shitting in her diapers then shoo like the flies that you are!

Gotta love that line! TOS Space Seed! (duh!)
Mr.Poopy Pants? by Rondo	Nov 7th, 2001 11:56:10 PM
Are you sure BoBrain?I thought Mr.Poopypants was Robert Goulet(who in fact admits he has to wear"undergarments"when onstage),in part,uh 2,or was it 3? Anyway,yes Ricardo has been associated with much cheese in his past BUT-he is one rico suave dude.There are plenty of "celebrities"who haven't done much interesting work,but they're pretty cool just for who they are.
what the hell does 'uber' mean? by TheGinger Twit	Nov 8th, 2001 02:12:56 AM
Seriously, it's one of those words that just pisses me off when it's said like it's common lingo. Harry, you made it up didn't you?
look it's a twit contest by InTheBackRow	Nov 8th, 2001 02:00:21 PM
No Harry didn't coin the term. Does anybody study history anymore? There was this little group of Germans called the Nazis that had some truly fucked up ideas and one of them was the Uber-Mensch, or in literal english Over-Man but more or less meant Over-Lord. Ring a bell! I'm not lying you can look it up in thoses thingies called books, ya know paper all bundled together with words printed on them. It was also used in the German battle cry, "Deutschland Uber Alles!" or Germany Over All. So no that your history and language lesson is over your mommie is ready to read you your bedtime story.
Uber is a real word by Sodomy Redux	Nov 8th, 2001 02:02:57 PM
FYI, Uber is a real word. It's German and, if I recall correctly, it's something like 'the definitive/best'. If I'm wrong, sorry. I fuck asses for a living and vocabulary (beyond the gutteral grunting of my victims) is not my strong point.
Uber is German and means by Kitan	Nov 9th, 2001 05:31:13 AM
"over" as in overestimated or overreacted (clearly the case here, Kahn, oh boy ...). Since the correct first letter is a "U" with two dots above, Internationals, who do not have this letter on their keyboard, should write "Ue" instead.
