Scrosese + Sci-Fi + (plus Leo of couse) I don't know by Proman1984	Feb 22nd, 2007 09:47:18 AM
Could be crap. Could be decent.

Sorry.
what happened to the Young Teddy Roosevelt film? by triplefive	Feb 22nd, 2007 10:10:55 AM
after reading The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, I'm jonesing for an epic Teddy movie, and after seein pic of the young and scrappy roosevelt, i can easily see D'Caprio playin the role.
I thought he was going to do Hyperion....... by Jimmy Jazz	Feb 22nd, 2007 10:26:40 AM
I'd rather see that than yet another kiddie fantasy flick.
Logan wrote the hideous Time Machine remake... by blackmantis	Feb 22nd, 2007 10:39:43 AM
...so I don't think Sci-Fi is his thing. He should stick to historical bio-pics(RKO, AVIATOR).
The Departed Sequel by Sly Fox	Feb 22nd, 2007 10:49:11 AM
I thought this had been ruled out now?
Ah, Sorry.... by Sly Fox	Feb 22nd, 2007 10:54:04 AM
I'd misread the quote about The Departed sequel, there could be one but it won't have any elements of the Infernal Affairs sequel and prequel in it.
MARTY'S GOTTA EAT !!! by Se7en	Feb 22nd, 2007 11:12:21 AM
Yes he does.
Y by arghhhhhhhh	Feb 22nd, 2007 11:26:49 AM
I've never had so many dingle berries in my ass at one time before. I'm tempted to eat one
Okay But by CaptDanielRoe	Feb 22nd, 2007 11:40:25 AM
Can the automaton kindly kick somebody's ass by repeatedly slamming a car door on him? It can be Model T, I guess. Oh and it is about time he reteamed with Jodie Foster who we would now meet at the END of a career hooking. In France. With armpit hair. Heck, Harvey Keitel should be in it. He should play the automaton/pimp. He'll run an automat... A hooker automat.
TO YACK_BACKER by K_Darklighter	Feb 22nd, 2007 12:49:18 PM
Yeah, John Logan wrote STAR TREK: NEMESIS and BATS, but he also wrote GLADIATOR, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, THE LAST SAMURAI and THE AVIATOR. He also wrote the script for the new Tim Burton picture SWEENY TODD, the script for the new Brad Bird movie 1906 and the script fot Michael Mann's next movie starring Tom Cruise, THE FEW. So before you go dissing an accomplished writer (or actor (ie Will Smith)) know what the fuck you're talking about!
How to type a Boston accent... by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 22nd, 2007 12:57:10 PM
If you want to say something is retarded in a Boston sounding way, you just replace the 'r' sound with an 'h'... like this... retahded... see because retawded sounds more like New York, so remember it's... retAHded... But be warned, if you start talking that way, people may start to think you are re-TAH-ded.
If he can better Lucas and spielberg by emeraldboy	Feb 22nd, 2007 01:03:39 PM
then i say go, marty, go!
check out the Last Samurai Yack by just pillow talk	Feb 22nd, 2007 01:25:29 PM
It's a great flick and Ken Watanabe is awesome in it.
I just flipped through this book the other day... by illyGraham	Feb 22nd, 2007 02:08:35 PM
at the bookstore and it's really different. It's almost more illustrations than text. He writes it like a movie...at the beginning, the author tells you to visualize the next six or seven pages as a movie opening and then you turn the pages and it's like the camera zooms in...it really seems like a cool book with a great story...this news really makes me want to buy it and read it...
why does everyone insist on pigeonholing marty? by JacksonsPole	Feb 22nd, 2007 02:38:52 PM
he's already proven that he's adept at virtually any film style. yet, all people want him to be is the 'mafia' guy. but, with kundun, he clearly shows that he understands the language of film, and can wield that language in any way he wishes... of course he can handle this type of material. and, it's not really that different from some of the many subjects that mr. scorsese, the world's greatest living filmmaker, has tackled.

The Conabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnage by No Respectable Gentleman	Feb 22nd, 2007 02:51:24 PM
Or wait, is that the title of the new flick from the writer of STRANGER THAN FICTION?
Let Marty make whatever he damn well pleases by skimn	Feb 22nd, 2007 03:15:55 PM
but I seem to recall a great original American director named Robert Altman made Quintet.
really good book by amalthea00	Feb 22nd, 2007 04:41:35 PM
I work in the kids section of a bookstore and read this as soon as it came out. It does read very much like a film, as someone said earlier, and has a very good story. It's definitely worth checking out and doesn't even take long to read since it's so heavily illustrated. I would be very interested to see this turned into a film.
Sure, I'd love to see it! by alienindisguise	Feb 22nd, 2007 06:43:56 PM
Since Spielberg's last forays into sci fi have been less than expected I'd really like to see Scorsese take a stab at the genre. I mean sure we wouldn't get beating after beating or f bombs a plenty but Scorsese directing a robot?..bring it!!!
After Hours and King of Comedy... by DanielKurland	Feb 22nd, 2007 07:03:45 PM
CRIMINALLY underrated Scorsese.
MARTY'S A SAILOR PEG !!!!!! AND HE'S LOST HIS LEEG!!!! by Chief Redcock	Feb 22nd, 2007 07:05:07 PM
CLIMBING UP THE TOP SAIL, HE LOST HIS LEG !!!!!!!! HERE'S HOPING THEY HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO GIVE THE MAN HIS OSCAR THIS TIME.
The Change alone by Black Satin 2	Feb 22nd, 2007 07:05:58 PM
would be good for him. I know he is the best at crime stories and crime fiction but this could be his 'u-turn' like Oliver Stone and that wasn't a bad movie.
"Scrosese" by The Atomic Worm	Feb 22nd, 2007 07:07:18 PM
Scorsese's name if he looked like a giant Scrotum
One reason I want a Departed sequel: by Barry Egan	Feb 22nd, 2007 07:09:44 PM
Nicholson can't be in it. The rumors I heard is they would want to have the sequel involve the Wahlberg character. I don't like that idea. I loved Wahlberg in The Departed but I can't imagine that character for 2 hours. He was great in little bits ("I'm the guy who does his job, who the fuck are you?") but I think he would get tiresome really fast.
Marty and Oscar by Barry Egan	Feb 22nd, 2007 07:12:42 PM
I want Marty to win and then when he gives his acceptance speech it would be great if he criticized the whole stupid Oscar nonsense. Does getting a statue of a golen naked guy make him or his legacy any more validated? Then (to make it a really special moment) I want Marty to hurl his Oscar into the orchestra pit and hit Bill Conti in the head.
period fantasy sucks by Power_Girl	Feb 22nd, 2007 09:32:44 PM
It suxs I tell you...Out of all the fantasy books and movies most of them are period fantasy or Wizard & Dragon fantasy... writing or making those kind of things doesn't mean you have an imagination.

Weren't there rumours at one time... by 'Cholera's Ghost	Feb 22nd, 2007 09:46:34 PM
that Scorsese was going to do a Hyperion movie? If that happens in my lifetime I will cream my pants.
Knew they'd grab this book eventually by Gorrister	Feb 22nd, 2007 11:11:22 PM
I read it and just knew it wouldn't be long before we saw it up on the big screen. Maybe they'll get it out in time to go up against that "Day the Earth Stood Still" remake. LOL
scorsese and a kid's book... by occula	Feb 22nd, 2007 11:49:17 PM
i dunno, not sure it's his thing. yes, he's a master, but imagine this and then imagine 'goodfellas.' his visual language is so focused and aggressive...and when it's NOT aggressive enough, his films come off a bit colorless. he needs room to flex his marty muscles.
Troy Mclure to star in by bender7	Feb 23rd, 2007 12:15:42 AM
The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel. Will the gambit pay off? 20th Century Fox is betting it will.
Will (almost) everyone get shot in the head? by thebearovingian	Feb 23rd, 2007 12:24:20 AM
Pop...huge spray of blood...Pop...huge spray of blood...Marky Mark is the last one standing.
