Uncapie Says THE ASTRONAUT FARMER Has the "Right Stuff"!!

Not first, but the first to call this a plant? by HorseApples	Nov 1st, 2006 11:23:41 PM
One of the worst reviews I've ever read on this or any other sight.
it's in the muuuusic by BadMrWonka	Nov 1st, 2006 11:23:43 PM
turn it up, let it knock, let it bang on the block til the neighbors call the cops. the cops gon come, but they ain't gonna do shit, they don't want no problems, what are ya'll stupid?
Why not just film Vernor Vinge's "Red Thunder" ? by mookiedood	Nov 1st, 2006 11:36:04 PM
Not a bad book, similar topic, cooler destination (Mars).
Honestly, I don't think this is a plant... by Negator76	Nov 1st, 2006 11:53:04 PM
... I think someone at AICN just cut and pasted the press release for this movie and called it a 'review'. Slow news day?
Would have made a great Gilliam project. by scrivener	Nov 2nd, 2006 12:09:05 AM
But I'm not really a fan of Polish. Northfork, and Twin Falls were pretty slow, uninteresting (if odd) movies.. . but... I don't know. He's like half a Coen brother. His movies are too sleepy while not being dreamy enough. God, I just don't know how better to put it.
Sounds like an absolute rip off... by LeiaDown&FuckHer	Nov 2nd, 2006 01:07:14 AM
...of the British series Rocket Man that had Robson Green in it from last year, only he was a proper everyman who only dreamed of being an actual astronaut, he was never actually in the running to go "way up there" before fate got in the way, like Thornton. Apart from that though sounds very damn similar indeed.
Salvage 1 by reni	Nov 2nd, 2006 01:49:18 AM
I do remember it. A long time ago. God, I'm getting old...
Plane plant by random dude	Nov 2nd, 2006 01:52:21 AM
Vedgetable.
I hate the plant accusations...but by TheMackenzie	Nov 2nd, 2006 02:32:41 AM
this time I have to agree. That wasn't a review, it sounded more like a (space) mission statement. Come AICN, you can do better than this...
Uncapie is a plant? by AndyGinner	Nov 2nd, 2006 03:30:28 AM
All this plant bollocks is hilarious. Uncapie's been a contributor for longer than I can remember. It might just be a good fucking movie...
PLANT! by Ray Gamma	Nov 2nd, 2006 04:01:41 AM
it reeks of plants in here. if you're gonna write a plant review, put more effort into making it sound like a jaded teenager, like the rest of the readers. you know, say something in the film sucks shit, and maybe mention the lead actresses' tits for real plausibility.
Sentence fragments by theBigE	Nov 2nd, 2006 05:19:44 AM
It would be nice to get a review with real sentences in it, not just sentence fragements! At least Bruce and Billy Bob made this, and not Bandits II!
Salvage One rocked. by Uncle Stan	Nov 2nd, 2006 05:22:44 AM
I still have the poster-book based on the show.
Actually, why not film Heinlein's "Rocketship Galileo"? by human2	Nov 2nd, 2006 05:50:58 AM
We need some Heinlein on screen. And done right for once.
nice Roots quote, BadMrWonka by Lance Rock	Nov 2nd, 2006 07:54:43 AM
I really love their new album. That song, and "Long Time" especially.
my penis actually started to become a vagina... by Bill Brasky	Nov 2nd, 2006 08:16:14 AM
when I tried to contemplate this sappy pap (thanks Barry J) "The underlying theme of this movie isn't about space travel or having the "Right Stuff" but, its having faith in what you believe in when no one else believes in you." Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! !!!! My poppie and mamma beat my privates when I was a youngling' and now I have to try to find faith in what I believe when NO ONE believes in me!!!!!!" Oh Gawd, where's Oprah!?!?!?!
Uncapie ain't a plant. by Nordling	Nov 2nd, 2006 08:23:55 AM
He's been posting here longer than some of you were little scales on your daddy's underwear. Good show, Uncapie. And a shout out to reni.... see you at BNAT!
this sounds like... by havocSchultz	Nov 2nd, 2006 08:44:26 AM
Field of Dreams of an October Sky... I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo there...
Not a plant. by ArtemisClydefrog	Nov 2nd, 2006 09:24:45 AM
I have no trouble believing that this will be great. The Polish brothers are phenomenal. I love that 'Twin Fall Idaho' and 'Northfork' are starting get proper respect from the indie outlets- these are the sorts of movies that make people go "Whoa, how did I miss when that came out?".
Plant Much? Jeez.... by The Ender	Nov 2nd, 2006 09:48:33 AM
Yeah, you're not a plant....cough
Sounds like a grown up Explorers! by jimmy_009	Nov 2nd, 2006 10:26:39 AM
Hopefully Billy Bob doesn't run into annoying aliens that watch too much TV. This sounds like a cool one.
Plant or not, I'm looking very forward to this by mr sniffles	Nov 2nd, 2006 10:45:08 AM
I loved Jackpot, and thought Northfork was the best movie of '03. These guy have yet to let me down.
Polish Bros! by samuraisix	Nov 2nd, 2006 11:23:24 AM
I dig them. I'm glad they're still doing their own thing.
BringingSexyBack by Bill Brasky	Nov 2nd, 2006 11:53:05 AM
I know, I know, I am fucking myself. Thank god for small favours, your arsehole was getting a bit worn. You really should think about getting that extra stitch put in the next time you go in for a 'refit.'
mattw... by havocSchultz	Nov 2nd, 2006 01:57:35 PM
re: "Rudy Builds A Rocket". I once saw a movie like that...well - almost like that...It was called "Rudy's Rocket Goes Off in his Face..." It was something of a heartwarmer...
So maybe this isn't a plant... by ImJustSaying	Nov 2nd, 2006 03:02:32 PM
But it ain't a fuckin' review either. This actor plays this, this person does this, this is the plot and the themes. This is a script treatment. Lame! Also sounds like "If you loved Phenomenon you'll love The Astronaut Farmer!" Anyways...
If this is as mind-numbingly boring as NORTHFORK... by Flim_	Nov 2nd, 2006 11:43:09 PM
...I'll eat my hat. Nothing could be that boring ever again. I watched that movie going, "FOR CHRISSAKES, SOMETHING HAPPEN! SOMEONE DO A THING!" Terrible.
Flim_ by Flickerhead	Nov 3rd, 2006 01:18:56 PM
I sorta liked NORTHFORK, but I can see how some might find it boring. However, you are incorrect that anything else could be that boring. Last night I watched Catherine Breillat's "A Real Young Girl," and about midway through I started hoping someone would break into my apartment and shoot me in the face.
mookiedood "Red Thunder" ? by Wyrdy the Gerbil	Nov 3rd, 2006 01:56:20 PM
you got the title right but John Varley wrote "Red Thunder" ? not Vinge
