lemony snicket by auroraleigh	Oct 2nd, 2002 05:38:42 PM
The movie's called "A Series of Unfortunate Events". Lemony Snicket is the pen name of the author. I'm really excited about the movie, Jim Carrey should make an excellent Count Olaf.
Fuck the Weekly Recaps by Mad Matt	Oct 2nd, 2002 05:41:10 PM
Fuck them because QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE fucking rock the world! Come on...you know it.

...isn't that Snow White story about 2 years old now? And Easy Rider 2? Shall I just kill myself now and get it over with? sk
Renegade Structural Engineer? by whiteboyrage	Oct 2nd, 2002 06:06:52 PM
For some reason the comedian trailer jumps to mind... "In a world where structural engineers all walked the same path..."
What the fuck is going on with Caviezel? by Monkey Lover	Oct 2nd, 2002 06:06:58 PM
Is he Jim or is he James? Does he even know? I'm guessing he'll go for James when he plays Jesus, because it's more serious. Aside from that, I think this PASSION movie sounds pretty fucking good. Imagine a massive epic of Jesus with today's technological and budgetary wonders... sweet Lord alive. It'll be a visual treat, hence the non-stupidity of the Aramaic/Latin/No Subtitles tactic. We all know the story... no need for words! Just pictures, please! Gibbo has done epics before with the movie about the crazy Scotsman. He is good. And despite having a fucked-up penchant for changing his first name, JC will make a good JC. He has the caring, innocent look to his face. No doubt he will ham it up big-style for some Oscar. Good!
Fate of the Blade should be pretty decent... by Terry_1978	Oct 2nd, 2002 06:13:45 PM
I've caught a few of the books, and it's pretty wild. It might be a tad on the Buffy-ish side, with the role being an asian chick as opposed to a white one, but if they stick with the comic's writing and storyline, i'm all for it.
WOO-HOOO!!!! Sidney Lumet is directing again!! by Cash Bailey	Oct 2nd, 2002 06:14:06 PM
Name one living director who has made as many dead-set classics as this man. Sure, GLORIA and NIGHT FALLS ON MANHATTAM weren't too good but the man's filmography speaks for itself. Lumet is the most under-rated director ever. Can you believe Jewison got an honorary Oscar before this guy!?
Where's the recap of Harry folding like an accordian on the by IAmLegolas	Oct 2nd, 2002 06:14:23 PM
Was that this week or last? I forgot.
PASSION by Everett Robert	Oct 2nd, 2002 06:17:35 PM
I'm actually looking forward to this project, sounds very ambitous. Gibsons going on a risk here. Here's hoping he makes a great film and doesnt alinate the mainstream Christians, who'll get behind this kind of movie and make it a hit or rally against it and make into the LAST TEMPTATION 2 (don't get me wrong, I like Last Temptation, but it's forever etched in peoples minds, who have never seen it, as this propaganda of Satan...personally I find Jesus Christ Superstar far more offensive then LT). Does anyone know mor about the sources (other then the Gospels of course) are the "revisonists" or more closer to the gospels

Hollywood has gone straight down the shitter.

Preproduction's going to begin immediately on SUPERMAN? Well, looks like all the protesting went to waste. Any "changes" Abrams might make are only going to be meager concessions at best if they're pushing ahead with this. We're gonna end up stuck with a Krypton that never exploded, a half-@$$ed propehcy about "the One," super kung-fu, and Superman's costume being a living thing. WB would rather have a $200 million bomb than admit to the fans that they screwed up. Screw them. As for the kung-fu SNOW WHITE, nice to know Yuen Woo Ping is beign approached. After all, if you're gonna rip off THE MATRIX, why not have one of the people behind that film make this one? Yecch.
A Superman movie? Wow I haven't heard! by Wydok	Oct 2nd, 2002 08:08:49 PM
They are making a new Superman movie? Wow! First I heard of this! Why wasn't there any news about it? I've heard about the Lemony Snicket and Polar Express movies before. Deja Vu?

Hooray for Hollywood by CASE	Oct 3rd, 2002 02:55:41 AM
It's about damn time they made a sequel to Easy Rider. Finally. Finally! And a sequel to Gladiator. Didn't see that one coming! Yes! Fuck with Superman! More remakes! More sequels! More adaptations of old TV shows! These are all things America wants to see! Keep churning them out Hollywood. I want you fuckers to go bankrupt. Oh, and KingKrypton, I just skip past your posts. They're just too daunting and not funny. I'm sure most of the talkbackers will agree. Try cutting down on the length and improving the content.
Harry is sweeping things under the rug again. by nazismasher	Oct 3rd, 2002 04:48:11 AM
Pretty obvious he doesn't care what people think of him as long as they're paying attention and let's face it, the only reason most of us come back is to witness the freak show AICN has become and to gawk, laugh, and point at the grotesque 'things' on display.
wow. by eau hellz gnaw	Oct 3rd, 2002 05:19:11 AM
soul plane, 30 minutes or less, bewitched, gladiator II, and easy rider, a.d. wow.
KingKrypton, write a book, if we're interested, we'll bu by Rant_Man	Oct 3rd, 2002 05:58:28 AM
Cause that's what your basically doing in talkback. I'm sure we all just scroll past it anyway. And whats with the fucking sequels and remakes? Remake this, sequel to that! Fuck Hollywood. I'm done. I'm only watching independent films by people who can make original stuff. Fuck all those bubble-gum crapfests. And shame on the Coen bros! A remake to Ladykillers?!! You guys are more original than that!!!
