Elston Gunn's WEEKLY RECAP

like i said... by thanner	May 10th, 2005 09:43:46 AM
bad craziness
of all those films... by mansep	May 10th, 2005 09:43:48 AM
Paul Verhoeven's film sounds the most interesting. otherwise, pretty standard hollywood chod.
Do we really need a Rush Hour 3? by BarrelRider	May 10th, 2005 09:44:36 AM
I think not. Linklater's "Fast food Nation" sounds very interesting, although I can't quite imagine him directing a movie like that
Wanda Sykes in "All of Me" and Cedric "The (supposed) Entertaine by HypeEndsHere	May 10th, 2005 10:03:07 AM
seriously. black people: stay home and rent the originals. you may find it interesting to see what society was like when white people made movies and music. teach hollywood to give you some original shit. like "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" or something.
Do we really need BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE 2? by Bart of Darkness	May 10th, 2005 10:15:52 AM
Wouldn't flushing that movie's budget down the toilet be a more creative act?
No... Chris Tucker paid for the Massage by John-Locke	May 10th, 2005 10:45:16 AM
WTF, did you people hear Gavin Arveso (sp?) say that on the Micheal Jackson trial reconstruction. Why the Fuck was Chris Tucker paying for young boys to have massages in Miami??? was Marlon Brando there too?
Fast Food Nation by GenericJokeName	May 10th, 2005 11:01:50 AM
how the hell do you make that book into "a fictionalized thriller"? Someone starts eating mcdonalds, contracts food poisoning and only has a few hours to live, unless they can find Ronald and get the antidote??
Nice to see Richard Stanley and Willaim Dear are back in the fol by Monkey_King	May 10th, 2005 11:04:03 AM
been wondering where they've been hiding. How about a stateside Uncut version of Stanley's DUST DEVIL on DVD, huh?
Boobs won't be big enough for the DOA film...more casting by Monkey_King	May 10th, 2005 11:08:29 AM
Jamie Pressley and James King are also in the Cory Yuen feature. I still think Taye Diggs would make an awesome Zak. The game character looks identical to Diggs. If only they could persuade Hulk Hogan(seriously) to play Bass and possibly Zhang Ziyi to play Lei Feng, then I'd be more impressed with the casting.
Big Momma's House 2!!! Brrrrrrr......I think someone just walked by Big_Bubbaloola	May 10th, 2005 11:12:00 AM
Wrong......oh so very very wrong!!
BONESAW IS READYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! by George Newman	May 10th, 2005 11:23:36 AM

I just don't see a horror cgi working out.. by white owl	May 10th, 2005 12:06:03 PM
Even the 'dark' elements of Final Fantasy: Spirits Within reminded me of some Disney movies.
Dante's Inferno by Ingeld	May 10th, 2005 12:25:04 PM
What I really want is informatin about New Line doing Dante's Inferno. Check out this linkhttp://obversity.blogspot. com/2005/04/its-go-for-inferno .html Come on AICN give us the scoop on what could be an amazing movie.
They should get Usher to star in "House of Usher" by Darth TJ Mackey	May 10th, 2005 12:30:33 PM
It couldn't be any worse than "Big Momma's House 2". Wait, that's IT! BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE OF USHER! Yeah!
Big Momma's House 2!??!?!?!?!? by OBSD	May 10th, 2005 12:43:11 PM
When I saw "Big Momma's House", (don't ask) I was disturbed because I had just watched "Bamboozled" the day before and what Spike Lee was trying to say about black entertainers selling out thier humainity for the sake of a greasy buck was exactly what was going on in this movie . I half expected the entire cast of "Big Momma's House" to just break out in the "I'm a nigga too" (which is still one of the most uncomfratable scenes I've ever seen any movie, let alone a Spike Lee joint) from scene from "Bamboozled".
Ashley Judd = Bad Movie by jimmy_009	May 10th, 2005 01:11:46 PM

Skyport sounds cool by jimmy_009	May 10th, 2005 01:13:11 PM

Fast Food Nation a thriller? by jimmy_009	May 10th, 2005 01:16:17 PM
is that a typo?
Good for Braff by The Heathen	May 10th, 2005 01:42:36 PM
Sounds like he's becoming more popular after Garden State, just hope the movies he's in will be okay. Rachel Bilson? I'm hoping she can do something a little less Ms. Vixeny. Bonesaw sounds interesting. Could be cool if handled well. So Chris Tucker will be in 4 Rush Hour movies in 7 years with nothing else on his resume other than being in that Michael Jackson video? I just don't fucking get this guy
Krullboy is GAY by IndianaSolo	May 10th, 2005 01:50:32 PM
Sorry, I meant to say that I am looking forward to Rush Hour 3, but the tourettes kicked in before I could stop it.
"BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE OF USHER!" by rev_skarekroe	May 10th, 2005 02:11:44 PM
Bravo!
It's not around the world in eighty days... by lex romero	May 10th, 2005 02:16:46 PM
This is to Heathen, you may want to re read what it said, they're making a film of the book around the world in eighty DATES. ;) Which is non-fiction book about a woman going around the world and dating men in different countries.
oops! by The Heathen	May 10th, 2005 02:38:47 PM
Yeah, I noticed that too. Guess it was all the Rush Hour/Tucker/Chan connection. Oh, how the mind wonders. My bad, but that does sound familiar to Vanity Fair which Witherspoon was in.
Another Spike Lee epic. by ExcaliburFfolkes	May 10th, 2005 02:56:57 PM
With any luck Spike will film "Save Us Joe Louis" on the same grand scale with which he tackled "Malcolm X". Any one know who Spike wants to cast as Joe Louis?
Supersize Me was a documentary, I think. by BarrelRider	May 10th, 2005 03:20:14 PM
A good one, at that. Fast Food Nation is a thriller. Does anyone here actually read the recap?
I really like Tucker by The Heathen	May 10th, 2005 03:28:24 PM
I just wish he would be in different movies. Yeah, I know he was in stuff BEFORE Rush Hour, but the only thing SINCE Rush Hour he was in was the Michael Jackson video. And it was reported on Access Hollywood or E! News Live somewhere that Tucker was in talks to do 2 more Rush Hour movies for a combined total of 40 million. That's what the fuck I was talking about.
Oh, and I would be bitchin if he was in a movie every other movi by The Heathen	May 10th, 2005 03:33:21 PM
as long as it was another Rush Hour movie, which after three in a row - he is!
"Show me the money!" by The Heathen	May 10th, 2005 03:42:02 PM
But only say it like Tucker would. Damn straight, I wouldn't mind the cut of his 20 mil a pic deals, but I'd tell him to stay the hell away from Michael. And you too know this
Fast Food Nation is not a thriller by Big Jim	May 10th, 2005 04:02:04 PM
At least not in its current form. But from what I read above, they are fictionalizing the book to make it into a thriller. Hey, it worked for Watergate (All the President's Men).
Big Momma goes Mrs. Doubtfire by Trader Groucho 2	May 10th, 2005 04:09:54 PM
Oy.
seems like the studios are actually enjoying the recent drop in by Trader Groucho 2	May 10th, 2005 04:11:19 PM
I have no other explanation for this recap. Tho Richard Linklater taking a shot at Fast Food Nation does sound intriguing.
Simon Says . . . "Originality". by ProzacMorris	May 10th, 2005 04:38:08 PM
Beautiful teenagers are stalked in picked off one-by-one. Have I seen that before?
jimmy_009 .... Correction: by Itchy	May 10th, 2005 04:59:33 PM
Ashley Judd = Bad Movie ... with topless scene. Huge difference.
MONEY TALKS 2 WOULD BE THE BOMB by VatoLoco	May 10th, 2005 07:56:57 PM
As long as they bring back Damian Chapa as well
Woody Allen turned a sex instruction manual (Everything You Alwa by FrankDrebin	May 10th, 2005 08:19:19 PM
Go for it. Can't be worse than the remakes and video game adaptations we've been getting. Turning Roger Corman's Little Shop Of Horrors into a musical sounded nuts once. And there's a Darwin Awards movie in the works with Joseph Fiennes (the DA's are given posthumously to people who accidently died out of sheer stupidity).
Here's the trailer for Valiant. Disney stealing from DreamWorks by FrankDrebin	May 10th, 2005 10:39:05 PM

I wouldn't mind a Rush Hour 3. by AeroB	May 10th, 2005 11:11:48 PM
The first two were great dumb fun. I enjoyed them as fun popcorn flicks and not much more.
Joe Louis by thevisitor	May 11th, 2005 03:27:58 AM
"With any luck Spike will film "Save Us Joe Louis" on the same grand scale with which he tackled "Malcolm X". Any one know who Spike wants to cast as Joe Louis" It was revealed (probably shouldn't have been) a couple of months back in a Philly newspaper that Terrence Howard was the guy Spike Lee was going to cast in the role.
I've read grocery lists... by grendelson138	May 11th, 2005 09:19:56 AM
that were more exciting than this. At least it gives me an excuse to talk about how good Apt Pupil was. When the old man started stepping, I got goose pimples. I can't gas animals because I have an electric oven.
Chris Tucker might be the smartest man in Hollywood... by BigTuna	May 11th, 2005 12:35:25 PM
He has done only two films in 7 years. Both of which have been Rush Hour movies. The guy barely works, yet is still a big name and makes 20 million a film. If he did more movies, he'd get over-exposed and they might not do as well and he'd never get 20 million again. He's not like Affleck, J-Lo, Scarlett Johannson, etc. This guy knows what he's doing.
Chris Tucker by Itchy	May 11th, 2005 06:28:21 PM
If I was a black man, I don't think I would be able to come up with a single individual of whom, on a racial basis, I would be more ashamed. (disclaimer: I do not consider Michael Jackson black, nor human - so don't even bring that around here)
Elston Gunn - about Into the Mirror ... by Shan	May 11th, 2005 08:43:49 PM
Is that a remake of the Korean movie "Into the Mirror", which is also set in a mall? Certainly sounds like it. That film's definitely worth seeing for the ending.
Yes, INTO THE MIRROR is a remake... by Elston Gunn	May 11th, 2005 08:49:59 PM
...of the Korean film. Thanks for clarifying that. And thanks to everyone for reading.
How on earth are they going to make a thriller out of "Fast Food by Ribbons	May 11th, 2005 11:26:05 PM
"Put down the fries! They're poison!" "Nooooo!!!!" Although anything involving Richard Linklater and Catalina Sandino Moreno is enough to merit curiosity.
GenericJerkName by Ribbons	May 11th, 2005 11:28:10 PM
Oops. This is why people ought to read the TalkBacks before they post on them. Sorry for biting off of your bit, I honestly didn't mean to. But hey, for what it's worth, we both thought the same thing (Although I don't know if that's a comforting thought or a depressing one for you)!
JOKEName by Ribbons	May 11th, 2005 11:29:55 PM
Jaysus. Sorry again.

Richard Stanley is back??? by fabfunk	May 12th, 2005 03:55:14 AM
Time to rent HARDWARE again!!! THISISWHATYOUWANT, THISISWHATYOUGET, THISISWHATYOUWANT, THISISWHATYOUGET. Stanley needs to be signed by Avi Arad to do a DR. STRANGE movie yesterday... oh and SAW 2? Sometimes I feel like the only one that thinks that movie was made for reatrds. Am I wrong?
Thank you Elston Gunn for your prompt reply ... by Shan	May 12th, 2005 04:34:44 AM
... Richard Stanley, one of the numerous people who got scorched by passing too close to Marlon Brando ... Having to make a film with Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer? Why not just shoot yourself? There's something about these talkbacks on this site which seems to screw up people with otherwise good spelling and grammar - as happens to me time and time again. Eg: Note fabfunk has effectively shot himself in the foot by spelling "retards" wrong.
