Frodo Owns JOO!

Murphy Is a hack by Cincy Vigilante	Dec 6th, 2001 10:29:19 AM
All murphy does any more is remakes of old movied and TV shows and sequels. Hes all most made him self out to be a kiddie actor. He needs to do something with an edge. Something original.
you guys are pathetic... by Soul Suckin Jerk	Dec 6th, 2001 10:41:14 AM
the fat jokes are really tired. give it up. It's so obvious that the talkbackers making them are little awkward rejects (and sundown, just because you're so emaciated and pale and your exact skeletal structure can be seen protruding through your skin...does not mean you have "shiznet" abs). it's so pointless. it's not even remotely funny. you fucks need to leave the basement and join the real world for a day or two.
Huh? by Brooklyn Bred	Dec 6th, 2001 10:54:31 AM
I thought I spy was that old 60's show with Cosby and a white guy who name escapes me as spys. Why is Eddie who I naturally figured would be reprising Cosby's role, boxing?
don't worry harry, easy mistake to make... by thegoldencalf	Dec 6th, 2001 11:04:38 AM
...but i'd really appeciate it if you got rid of those damn pop-ups. every time i go back to the main page, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh. i'll click as many banners as you need me to but please, no more pop-ups, they get closed b4 they've even loaded anyway.
to soul suckin jerk by calvin hobbes	Dec 6th, 2001 11:35:39 AM
So you're pretty fat, huh? I love how guys like you like to accuse everyone else of being pimple-faced single losers that never see the light of day. Yet you voice your opinion on a web forum. Are there any mirrors in your house?
Yes, Abs! by tbrosz	Dec 6th, 2001 11:37:10 AM
Do not mock the X-Ray Vision powers of Harry Knowles! He knows what is illustrated on your boxer shorts!
hey soul sucker... by sundown	Dec 6th, 2001 11:50:54 AM
I'm 6' - 200 pounds and a tan sicilian(although a lot of the tan from my last trip to Cancun has worn off...God, I miss La Boom...) Once again, the ignorance of some talkbackers who like to stereotype. FOR THE RECORD I didn't make a comment about Harrys weight...none of my bidness really, just pointed out that he may have made a mistake or posted the wrong pic. AND my abs ARE the shiznet... but you need to up the zoloft intake my friend....or lay off the caffeine. I mean, sheeesh, the things you kiddies will fight over.

ABS? YOU CAN"T SEE HIS ABS!!!! by BigTuna	Dec 6th, 2001 12:25:10 PM
What are you talking about?
He has himself a bollum head too. by durhay	Dec 6th, 2001 12:39:10 PM
Lotsa people I know got bollum heads.
soul suckin jerk by calvin hobbes	Dec 6th, 2001 12:56:06 PM
Judging from your own lame-ass attempts at humor, you really shouldn't be telling other people what's funny or isn't funny. Now if only your stomach was as flat as your jokes.
my point Soul Sucker by sundown	Dec 6th, 2001 12:58:14 PM
was simply that you were wrong in your assumptions. But just the same the ladies can feel free to email me at...eh, I'm taken and too stupid to get away with cheating, so never mind. It was a joke, is all... my high strung friend. At least you didn't call me fuckass or something, right? Thats a start. You are on your way to playing well with others... We do agree on one thing though, Kitfisto be wacky I tells ya!
HEY! by coytuck	Dec 6th, 2001 01:37:50 PM
Don't make me turn this car around! Crimminy! Can't take you kids anywhere!
Eddie's career must be in SERIOUS trouble. . . by Hardyboy	Dec 6th, 2001 01:48:18 PM
. . .since he's now copying his former SNL mate Joe Piscopo in getting all pumped up. But, uh, seriously folks, isn't it possible that Eddie's build is really computer-generated? Isn't this supposed to be a promotional poster seen IN the film? This doesn't mean that Eddie is actually ripped and pumped.
one thing indeed by Soul Suckin Jerk	Dec 6th, 2001 02:12:08 PM
i've never read anything that bizarre and random. i wish he'd post again. i feel like this guy could end up famous. peace
You are correct , Hardyboy, by TimBenzedrine	Dec 6th, 2001 02:12:54 PM
It is quite common for studios to use body doubles for posters as it very expensive or just incovenient to bring a famous star in for a photoshoot. Sometimes the model is posed and lit to match a preexisting headshot and then the whole thing is put together by a photo retoucher (although nowadays almost anybody could do it with photoshop) Anyway, it sure fooled Harry, didn't it?
Boxing? WHAAAA!?!? by enigmainyourhead	Dec 6th, 2001 03:01:25 PM
The whole point of I Spy is that everyone around the world thought that Kelly Robinson was a wimp taht just played tennis and picked up chicks, when he was really a kick-ass, marital artist and super spy. Making him a boxer? LAME. I hope they don't try to make Owen Wilson mumble, "I'll get a job in the morning, ma", in his sleep.
Lundengren/Stallone by AggregateScore	Dec 6th, 2001 03:10:22 PM
Is Rocky IV really the bench -mark for boxing fight scenes now? I mean honestly, it was great fun in a Mighty Ducks-kind of way, but technically it was appalling. Or have I missed the genius of the film?
Abs, pecs, body double, whatever... by Huneybee	Dec 6th, 2001 03:50:27 PM
It's still better than the Colin Farrel pics.____And, Sundown, why don't you give me a call sometime, sweetie... ;)____Bee
Plot? by scot_free	Dec 6th, 2001 04:39:28 PM
Anyone hear about the plot of this? I hope there is not an extended portion of the movie showing how the two main characters meet. I hate that they always try and show this crap (Wild Wild West, the Avengers). Just start the movie out with them already being friends.
I Spy Primer by Illinois_Boy	Dec 6th, 2001 05:36:10 PM
A refresher course in 'I Spy' (the TV show that is). Robert Culp was the white guy, Kelly Robinson, who was a tennis star/bum. Bill Cosby was his trainer. Yes it was a drama, but also quite funny. And it was a quality show, winning Emmys, including at least one for Bill Cosby, which I believe was the first for and African American in a drama series. It was doen in a 'realistic' tone, inthat there were not personal jetpacks or Bond like supervillians with undersea hideouts. It was Cold War tension kind of stuff, and doesn't seem very spoofable. One key concern I will mention, not knowing anything about the movie except what I saw here just now, but the idea of being a boxer as a cover doesn't seem so good. The reason tennis player worked out was you got travel around the globe for tournaments, exhibitions, and maybe more importantly to give lessons to rich and important people. A tennis player staying as a guest of various rich jet setting types makes a little more sense than a boxer. But I still think Eddie is funny, and I know Owen is, so we'll see.
now Huney don't taunt me you're a married woman...BUT by sundown	Dec 6th, 2001 06:24:53 PM
I will take one of those X rated barbie dolls. I'll paypal ya. Also with the addition of Shoob Sloob? this is now the CRAZIEST talkback ever... I would pay currency to see him in a room with antifisto!
Sorry, Sundown... by Huneybee	Dec 6th, 2001 07:04:22 PM
Your buddy Sleazy just bought up the entire warehouse full! Perhaps he'll give you one for Christmas and be sure to ask for one with the "pleasure stinger".____Where do dweebs like kitfisto and Shoob come from? Are they contagious? Should we be wearing an air filtering mask while reading their words or washing our hands afterwards?____A Concerned Bee
dog star by Estevez_Rex	Dec 6th, 2001 07:23:38 PM
dogstar is the name of keanu reeves' band. soul sucker, you must be one fat mutha fuckah!! hey, that's cool, man, i don't care. i'm... not attractive.
for dogstar by Soul Suckin Jerk	Dec 6th, 2001 09:17:27 PM
look dude, i meant nothing by asking if you liked keanu reeves. i just noticed your name "dogstar" also happens to be the name of his floundering "alternative neo grunge" band. and all that stuff you said about matt damon...well, different strokes for different folks i guess. i like girls. and finally, when i said was fat...i was totally kidding. i'm 5'11, 150 pounds...not that this really matters. just for the sake of representing myself accurately...
I have a ? by SmartAss	Dec 7th, 2001 02:44:43 AM
What kind of stupid TB name is Soul Sucking Jerk? More like, Cock Sucking Jerk!
I didn't realize we were sharing our stats by St Buggering	Dec 7th, 2001 02:52:59 AM
Okay, I'm 5'11, 190 lbs, I have black hair. My turns-ons include off-the-shoulder dresses (on women, not on me), and my turn-offs are smokers and ignorance. Call me, just 60 cents a minute.
Harry's a fatass... by Jackass	Dec 7th, 2001 02:55:04 AM
...and I'm not joking.
Southern Crane's lame-ass excuse for wasting your time. by southerncrane	Dec 7th, 2001 10:31:31 AM
This post here is mostly taken directly from another post I put up yesterday on the previous article put up about I SPY. Since that article is probably forgotten by now, I wanted to put this up to clear up some major ugliness and confusion I caused. My apologies to everyone. Here's how it goes:... I just spent about an hour talking about this with a friend who is working on this project, and he asked me what the f**k I was thinking after he read [the previous] article. I will say very little, but much was explained to me about what's going on in this scene I described ( poorly )to Harry. I got more things wrong than right. If I could sum up the conversation in really vague terms, "this will be its own movie." Remember what everyone thought Charlie's Angels was going to be like before we actually got to see it? And this won't be Charlie's Angels,either! And hey, I'd even apologize to Mr. Murphy after knowing a bit about what he was trying to do in this one scene. There are reasons for his actions-which I totally misinterpreted. And i totally left out what was going on previous days... there were some surprises, to say the least. Another thing to note is how several others involved more in this project have been impressed with it enough to defend it so much. I will say this ( although it's a piss-poor excuse): that I will never get drunk after a day at a shoot again. No one has made me come up and say this but me. Make up your own mind when you get to see I SPY in theaters....( I now retreat with tail between legs). Consider my "Spy report" null and void.
Southerncranes post in which he rags on his own report by sundown	Dec 7th, 2001 11:13:16 AM
now makes this OFFICIALLY the weirdest talkback ever. Just one question? Why didn't you explain the purpose behind Murphys actions that you elude too? If there are real reasons how come you don't act like a spy and spill the beans? You had the chance to redeem yourself and tell all in more detail now that you're sober and dropped the ball...bad crane! To the back of the spy list you go!
by sundancekeed	Dec 7th, 2001 04:09:39 PM

whoops... by sundancekeed	Dec 7th, 2001 04:12:24 PM
Hit the wrong button, I guess. Weird. Anyhow, I had to say that reading the guy's post about Grandma Klump damned near doubled me over laughing. Somebody please tell me if that guy has posted anything else and if so, where? I'm printing this one out and showing it to some buds.
Why Spy? by Josh Randall	Dec 7th, 2001 08:40:02 PM
I'm still scratching my head as to why the producers decided to reverse the races of spies "Kelly Robinson" and "Alexander Scott" for this remake. For those who have never seen the 1965-68 series. Robert Culp starred as "Robinson" and Bill Cosby as "Scott". Eddie Murphy as "Robinson" and Owen Wilson as "Scott," and instead of a tennis player, now "Robinson" is a boxer?. Smells like Hollywood stinking up another classic 60's action show - anyone remember "Wild Wild West?" Think I'll save my eight bucks and buy another "I Spy" DVD.
sundancekeed by Patrick/Bateman	Dec 10th, 2001 07:38:53 PM
I agree, kitfisto's post was god damn hilarious. I am looking for more from that madman.
