translation: "we made this to suck. on purpose."

What a wierd by kikuchiyoboy	Jan 9th, 2007 07:53:23 AM
wierd wierd thing. $30 is prettty funny though for a box office standpoint.
Fascinating stuff. by Dick Nicely	Jan 9th, 2007 08:08:33 AM
Makes me want to look out for these clandestine screenings. The dude still didn't say what he did with his $20, though.
taint easy to be first by Deus Vult	Jan 9th, 2007 08:18:31 AM
but who would want to? I've got to kick this tainted habit...
What the hell is all this taint business? by Dick Nicely	Jan 9th, 2007 08:24:01 AM
Oh, a preview screen. This is new. And colourful.
I would've finished this article... by Zarles	Jan 9th, 2007 08:29:15 AM
...but there are two flies fucking in the drying paint on my wall, and that looked far more fascinating.
ABC is doing a series called ZYZZYX? by Skippy75	Jan 9th, 2007 08:35:49 AM
"ABC asked us to borrow Katie Heigl to do a photo shoot for their upcoming series ZYZZYX." HUH??!?!?!
Dick Nicely, you kill me... by Deus Vult	Jan 9th, 2007 08:37:07 AM
here's the origin story right here fella: http://tinyurl.com/yhlh2q who knew it would become a force of its own? years and years on this site, trying so hard to get noticed, and to think it took the TAINT to get me somewhere. praise the lord!
another HUH!!! by Skippy75	Jan 9th, 2007 08:40:14 AM
"[EG]: Do you think this story will be hard to get financing for future films?" what does that mean?
Cheers Deus Vult, and congrats! by Dick Nicely	Jan 9th, 2007 08:51:38 AM
So hard to keep on top of these damn catchphrases. I still haven't figured out who the fuck Don Murphy is.
Is this the sequel to the Hulk? by brassai2003	Jan 9th, 2007 08:59:18 AM
What the fuck is the movie about?
You know where that road leads, right? by Doctor_Sin	Jan 9th, 2007 09:12:32 AM
Just sayin'.
I'll wait for the interview that will be worth reading by white owl	Jan 9th, 2007 09:17:35 AM
which will now not be an exclusive, thanks to the lovely fanboys of AICN.

"Tom Sizemore is a terrific actor and has..." by Tom Whitaker	Jan 9th, 2007 10:24:02 AM
"Tom Sizemore is a terrific actor and has a bigger career ahead of him" If by career he means "coke and hookers", he might be right. He IS a good actor though, and I'd like to see this film.

There's nothing more attractive to people... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 9th, 2007 10:57:57 AM
...than a title that no one can fucking pronounce. Right now there are thousands of first year marketing students all around the world ripping their veins open with faux executive ballpoint pens as their screams of frustration soar towards the heavens. Then again, maybe that's a good thing, fuckin' suit wannabe's.
Devin Faraci can go to hell. by LaDracul	Jan 9th, 2007 11:12:14 AM
I used to be on that site, but he made me his punching bag because I liked certain movies he and his friends didn't. Hopefully, he might have matured, but I totally don't count on it.
the term "exclusive"... by droog	Jan 9th, 2007 11:31:55 AM
...does not mean the talent is only talking to one journalist or outlet (because nobody would do that without a substantial paycheck or other motive). It means that the CONTENT of that interview is exclusive to that outlet -- a 1-on-1 interview as opposed to a press junket or roundtable. Nothing is really "exclusive", unless you're talking about something like Tom Cruise giving pictures of his offspring simulation to a single magazine.
Elston you forgot to ask the most important question by Lando Griffin	Jan 9th, 2007 01:17:30 PM
Is Heigl naked in this?
Yes, is Heigl naked in this? by BigTuna	Jan 9th, 2007 01:57:59 PM
This was before her big break in Grey's Anatomy, so maybe she did a nude scene because she needed the $.
It's pronounced... by idahomer	Jan 9th, 2007 02:51:42 PM
Zei-zix
ZYZZYX IS... by WISEBLOOD	Jan 9th, 2007 03:39:32 PM
One of the weirder places Ive ever been. I used to do a LOT of acid and go out to the Salton Sea with my homies and we'd stop by ZYZZYX on the way back...once again...VERY weird place...of course, I was baked out of my gord, so...
it's not "zizziks" road? by white owl	Jan 9th, 2007 03:40:27 PM
oh what now we are required to fill in the comment box? lame!
Isn't this the name of a Rush song? by cromulent	Jan 9th, 2007 05:18:46 PM
Is Geddy Lee in this movie?
CHUD is the worst movie site out there by BadMrWonka	Jan 9th, 2007 05:36:27 PM
it looks like it was designed by a half-blind, half-drunk teenage coke addict.
Movie news must be really fucking slow by Fridge	Jan 9th, 2007 05:40:25 PM
Espeically if we're talking about this bullshit being something "exclusive".
Fridge by BadMrWonka	Jan 9th, 2007 05:40:27 PM
which we're not...jackass.
Don't blame AICN by Bloo	Jan 9th, 2007 05:40:59 PM
for getting this interview before CHUD, first of all they said that he would be doing an interview with CHUD and second hte producer/actor agreed to do the interview (boring and confusing as it was) so it's not AICN's fault if it's not "exclusive" anymore...it's this dude's fault. This is not the same as Variety poaching this story from CHUD or MSN taking the Stallone/Gere story from here
you know what? by BadMrWonka	Jan 9th, 2007 05:42:30 PM
I wish a lot of you fucking pricks would just go to CHUD or somewhere else. why post here jsut to whine? if you think AICN doesn't make the bar for whatever bullshit reason, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, or at least don't post your whiny ramblings. I'm so tired of hearing, "you know, this was on my friend's sister's dentist's blog like 4 hours ago, this isn't news!" please go fuck off, I'm begging you...
Thanks to the goddamn what? by Kirbymanly	Jan 9th, 2007 05:42:45 PM
Please tell me

Come on.... somebody say it... by Laserbrain	Jan 9th, 2007 06:09:18 PM
Grillo's gotta eat.
well apparently dorothy's taint is now dead by Deus Vult	Jan 9th, 2007 06:49:56 PM
Well boys in scanning the most recent posts on the most recent stories it saddens me to say that no one has used any version of taint in hours. Apparently then dorothy's taint is now officially dead as the lastest AICN catchphrase I've been reading this site for six years and never before have I seen a catchphrase set the world on fire so fast, and burn out just as quickly oh my dear dorothy's taint, we hardly knew ye...
If he's smart.... by Kirbymanly	Jan 9th, 2007 07:29:27 PM
he'll re-shoot with a heigl nude shot. Be up there with The Gift as the most re-purchased DVD of all time.
Heigl is TOO SILVER by Kirbymanly	Jan 9th, 2007 07:30:44 PM
now There's a catchphrase!
Agree on Devin by thefutureoffilm	Jan 9th, 2007 07:35:50 PM
I used to look forward to reading what was on Chud but when Nick left it and most of the writing duties fell upon Faraci, that's when the website started going down hill. The first thing that disgusted me about him was his blinding hatred/dislike of anything Robert Rodriguez did or does. I agree with what someone above said about him sitting his fat ass on the story, although a part of me did feel bad for him. Terrible reviewer, terrible opinion in movies, too biased.
this guy seems like a real douche by Holodigm	Jan 9th, 2007 09:54:06 PM
"tom sizemore is a great actor" doesn't help his credibility, and neither does spending half the interview plugging his documentary. ass.
chickychow by BadMrWonka	Jan 9th, 2007 11:54:25 PM
clever...extremely clever...I like the part where you called me a tool, then said shut up...pure gold!
Leo Grillo tells it like it is. by Uncapie	Jan 9th, 2007 11:57:54 PM
You have my respect, Sir. This is the reality of the film biz, kiddies.
Sweet Heigl by Lost in Uranus	Jan 11th, 2007 01:38:08 PM
She was so fucking hot in "My Father the Hero". Ayone who says otherwise is a self-righteous, religious western liar. :P
