Sons of Bitches by Samson_K	Mar 23rd, 2007 08:50:34 AM
In UK they released the single disc and then the double disc within the space of about three fecking weeks!! Whore bastards! I hate that
Great interview, Quint! by beastie	Mar 23rd, 2007 08:50:47 AM
Cuaron may be the best director out there, right now.
Uh... by jimmy rabbitte	Mar 23rd, 2007 08:52:27 AM
What's up with the site today? Why did my post go up THREE damn times? Michael Bay will pay for this!
tenth, bitches! by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:02:54 AM
this guy is a fucking genius, old Alfonso Cuaron. him and guelmo del toro, i cant remember how to spell his name, but the pan's labyrinth geezer. they're both passionate about their films. i snuck into a Q&A and guelmo swears likes a fucker, but he loves what he does. and Alfonso Cuaron was very technically minded. apparently that long shot where we follow old clive owen near the tanks and all that was done in ONE take. ONE! the only extra thing they added was the blood that comes on the screen. maybe he said that on this thread above- i aint read it yet, my batteries about to run out.
i want to know when they filmed that scene on fleet st: by newc0253	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:11:23 AM
i was walking down fleet street the other day, imagining the big giant video screens on the buildings. one of the best things about that scene is how well the futuristic stuff blends with the present (as opposed to say the cheesy futuristic LA in 'the island', where they just stick a bunch of crap on the library tower, etc). i also want to know which property they used for the bomb in the coffee shop.
Damn, this flick deserved a commentary track... by ODM	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:26:58 AM
Same with The Prestige. I won't buy either until said films get the special features they deserve...
Good interview until the dirty joke nonsense by Rupee88	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:27:10 AM
I wish you would just abandon this question...it never really works or is of much interest. But cool film and cool director and sounds like a cool DVD.
Damn you, Children of Michael Bay. by MCMLXXVl	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:27:22 AM
Daaaayumn!
The Dirty Joke question is like a fart in Sunday School by Pound Sand	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:30:27 AM
It's uncomfortable for everybody. Oh, and BSB, it should be CHILDREN OF FUCKING MEN ON DVD !!! !! 11111
Is this not out on DVD in the States yet? by Tubbs Tattsyrup	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:31:10 AM
Cos it came out here (NZ) last week. Good DVD, shame about no commentary but it's still fascinating. The baby doco, man.

Extras by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:45:43 AM
I have to say thta I would have preferred a really nice version of this DVD considerign this is my second favorite film of all time but the documentary sounds great. I would rather watch that then some lame ass making of crap that I can't stand. And commentary are the most annoying things ever made. Except for the one on the Goonies DVD. That was hilarious.
QUINT HAS A BEER AND CHEETS AT POKER by Zarles	Mar 23rd, 2007 09:59:53 AM
It's true. I've seen him do it. Anyway, definitely picking this up. Viva la Cuaron!
Why are DVD covers so often lame? by jimmy_009	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:04:27 AM
It's the same thing that curses movie posters. Big stars head. This one's at least OK, but think about good it could have been.
great movie by just pillow talk	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:04:55 AM
I'll be interested to see the 'making of' scenes. Finally saw Babel, and COM blows it away. No comparison.

of the decade
too right mate by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:27:29 AM
it deserved best pic and best director nominates at least. i lapped this shit up when it was out in the UK. was great to see a director who knew what the fuck he was doing for a change.
second favorite of all time? by kilik777	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:27:50 AM
You must not get to see many movies i guess. The movie was very good but still falls short of being great. Not enough character development and I personally thought Clive Owen was just ok in the role. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do

Rubiks Doob by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 10:52:27 AM
very good post, mate, but you just shot yourself in the foot, fella. as you said it was in development hell with these two writers bashing away at it like a blinds woodsman on crack and whiskey, then alfonso comes along. he rewrites it, sorts out any narrative problems it had and bang! its greenlit! so yes, he DESERVES to take the credit. no disrespect to the two writers but they obviously could take this vehicle only so far. thats why they are what they are, and alfonso is who he is. he can turn a train wreck into a soaring concorde of majestic beauty. your writer buddies should maybe try writing for eastenders or something?

Damn, what genius desgined that cover??? by Nice Marmot	Mar 23rd, 2007 11:56:34 AM
And if you agree that it disappoints, brace yourselves for the absolutely terrible cover for The Fountain DVD. There's an online petition to change it. Why they didn't just use the poster art, I have no idea.
Cock Size by Mr_X	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:03:24 PM
quint, why dont you ask them how big is thier cock as opposed to the dirty joke question. I've had enough of the dirty joke question, and so has everyone else. yet you stubbornly refuse to let it go. you're like john fucking locke. anyways god damm children of men, fricking superb movie. really top notch, one of my favourites of last year, and should have had a hell of a lot more publicity
Rubiks Doob by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:16:08 PM
Yeah i hear what your saying mate. not putting the two writers down or nothin' just saying alfonso is such a narrative genius that he DESERVED to get a large screenwriter credit for turning the sinking ship around......its like having the parts of a ferrari. what the hell use is that? i cant drive that to the dole office in that shit. hell i cant even scratch my ass with it let alone my mums. but alfonso comes along and puts the ferrari together and hey presto! you got something you can use! i can drive to the dole office at 130mph. great analogy, eh? now you understand where i'm coming from, fella.
Fountain DVD art by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:19:19 PM
Damn. That is really atrocious. They're obviously trying to boost rental and sales revenues by pushing the romance angle to mainstream audiences since the movie did so poorly in theaters. Still...an online petition?? If peopel put that much energy int othhings that actually matter wouldn't be in the fucking Iraq quagmire still.
to Nice Marmot by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:20:24 PM
the fountain deserves a shit cover. its a shit film. i hated it. what the hell is rachel weiz playing at? she's fit, but not so fit as to star in horseshit. i think the fountain should be banned in london. i really do, fella. one of the most shittest & confusing films i've seen and bothered stealing in a long time.
dont talk to me about iraq, PwnedByStallone by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:22:58 PM
i'd bring all our boys back and send out jude law and dicraprio. let them put a jihad on those two cunts. sorry for the strong language, fella.

so true mate. that shit made me laugh!.....to THE KNIGHT, i already said how it was done in an earlier post, fella. her it is....."i snuck into a Q&A and guelmo swears likes a fucker, but he loves what he does. and Alfonso Cuaron was very technically minded. apparently that long shot where we follow old clive owen near the tanks and all that was done in ONE take.

the island was floppier than my mamas titties. in the hands of a better director it could've been a great great film. if they'd push the sci fi clone idea more and less bullshit bay generic chase shit it could've really worked. u shouldnt have walked out of the film tho fella. fucking disgrace.
you need to see C of M tho, BringingSexyBack by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:56:39 PM
you wont be disappointed, fella. its as good as people say it is.

BSB: It has a woman has three women in it, one of whom bares her breasts so take heart. Flip63Hole: You're obviously a genius but just so you know if you walked out after the birth than you missed one of the best made cinmatic climaxes in film history. Fucking moron.
dunno about best film of the decade... by duanejones	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:12:33 PM
...but best in the '06? OH yeah. clive owen, and pretty much everybody (including michael caine in possibly the finest performance last year as well), conveyed the somber mood of a world in police-state turmoil while in danger of disappearing. much as i dug _the departed_, _c.o.m._ should have at least gotten nominated for something other than fucking SOUND! but no -- dark, depressive visions of our time transplanted into the near future never cut it in ho'wood these days, if they ever did. j. hoberman in the village voice compared the listless marketing campaign by universal as similar to the way they dumped _12 moneys_ on a never-suspecting movie audience and it withered on the vine at the box office. we recognize its classic status now -- and yes, probably then, too. plus, the inclusion of "court of the crimson king" makes it the finest cinematic use yet of king crimson's music in film, just edging out christina ricci tapdancing to "moonchild" in _buffalo '66_...
This was one of the best movies I've seen. by Daddylonghead	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:21:46 PM
Seriously. I rank CofM above Blade Runner, Brazil, and many similar cream-of-the-genre favorites (not that there aren't some important differences). I wish this was still in theaters, I want to see it on the big screen again.

God I love this movie... by Strabo	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:25:23 PM
...it's too bad that Cuaron doesn't like Commentary tracks. A movie as rich and nuanced as this one could definitely benefit from a strong voice pointing out the themes and ideas they were trying to communicate, and why they made those choices. I am glad that we are, at least, getting a documentary on how some of the photography/cinematography was accomplished.
la_sith. you sick bastard by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:26:42 PM
That's my word from the council estates
duanejones by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:27:14 PM
I hear you but I just wanted to point out that COM was also nominated for Best Cinematography but was, IMHO, robbed by Pan's Labyrith. Yes, Pans' was good too but COM was just amazing.
Strabo by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:28:17 PM
thats why i'm glad i gate crashed the Q&A he did. learned loads from the maestro. he certainly knows his stuff. if u ever get an opportunity to meet him you should.
and as regards Iraq by Daddylonghead	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:30:40 PM
having seen 300, I am now very angry at the US Congress. Obviously if congress would just have denied Bush war authorization, then our president would have gathered his elite cabinet-- Cheney, Rove, Condi, Gonzalez et. al-- and the entire administration would have flown over to Iraq in person to stand in the gap and battle Saddam's slave hordes. Damn you, congress, for preventing this scenario!!!

whats to understand, fella? the film was all over the place. one minute its set in the past, then the present, then the future with no connection at all. wierd and shit as hell. its simply a bad movie. not being controversial or any wierd shit like that, i'm just giving you geezas my opinion.
Flip63Hole by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:47:03 PM
I know you're a sociopath and all and I might as well be talkign to a door but the boat scene was not what i was talking baout. I'm talking about the 30 minutes of cinematic genius that happens after the childbirth and before the boat. And I'm sure the people who haven't see nthe fil mreally appreciated you saying "no spoilers" and the nactually going on to spoil it. God you fucking half wit. Jump off a fucking building and do the world a favor. Seriously. Kill yourself. We'll be betetr off and so will your embarassed family.
Daddylonghead by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:49:54 PM
i was saying over on the one-sheet 28 weeks later board that i lost a cousin out in iraq. he was in the fucking army. the whole family was gutted. so i fucking hate bush too and his deformed retarded puppet blair.
oi Flip63Hole! WTF! by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 01:57:53 PM
Are you fucking stupid or something! You DO NOT under ANY circumstances give away endings to films. you numpty. you fucking disfiguired abortion of humpty numpty! fuck! and you had the gall to put 'no spoilers' on there too! are you senile? you must be. no one is that stupid. you must 87 years old and lonely and in a nursing home dribbling on yourself while a nurse feeds you pureed cabbage in your arsehole or something. your crazy mate. you disrepect evryone who comes on here. you should fucking apologize or at least do a retraction or some shit
Council Estate Scumbag by Daddylonghead	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:13:45 PM
Sorry to hear it. America is hopelessly retarded and dangerous, but I don't understand why England has allowed Blair to remain in power in spite of the Iraq war. I really thought it would bring him down for sure. It seemed like all of England was up in arms about Iraq and yet Blair hasn't suffered any consequences for it??
Daddylonghead by PwnedByStallone	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:19:15 PM
Ummm. The same reason the US "elected" Bush "again." the government is corrupt and people are dumb.
guys guys by Halfbreedqueen	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:29:48 PM
stop giving this flip guy any attention, if you read his posts it's clear he hasn't even seen the movie (he admits this) and more importantly doesn't even have an opinion on it. he's just trying to piss people off. it's like going into a LOTR talkback and going, WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FLY THE EAGLE!!!! WORST MOVIE EVER LOL!
hd dvd and dvd combo by Halfbreedqueen	Mar 23rd, 2007 02:30:48 PM
anybody know if the combo is any good? do they give you two disks? how does it work, I'm considering it since it is only 10 dollars more, but I'm not sure.

Fountain of Men by Staldo	Mar 23rd, 2007 03:47:19 PM
I just saw the artwork for the fountain, yeah, that's awful, least-common denominator tripe. It seems to be saying: "It's romantic, ladies, and, look guys, it's gots guys with swords too so you don't have to feel all gay while watching it!" Children of Men was an amazing movie, except for the silly metaphorical ending and the CGI baby, who if you watched her too long, started to look like Gollum or one of those monkeys from Jumanji. Flip63Hole, you missed the fucking point, you weren't supposed to give a shit about her, the character herself was admittedly a giant slut with little self respect. You were supposed to care that she and her baby were the last hope for humanity and therefore not give a shit if you liked individual characters. I thought the movie did that very well. Also, her willingness to be inseminated by any random bloke that came along saved humanity in the film. Hooray for sluts.
WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FLY THE EAGLE!!!! = by Daddylonghead	Mar 23rd, 2007 04:01:08 PM
Why did this movie's characters not employ the transportational services of a giant eagle to achieve their in-film objectives? [note: 'giant eagle' in this context does not refer to the grocery store chain] Used as in, "The Third Man was STUPID lol fatty runs and gets stuck in a sewerpipe like he's mario WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FLY THE EAGLE!!!! "

also, Children of Men was the second best movie of 2006, a bit behind the fountain.
Did the genius marketing department... by Psyklop	Mar 23rd, 2007 08:10:52 PM
really believe this DVD cover would appeal to a broader audience, ie non sci-fi fans? Because it just plain sucks ass and has no appeal to ANY demo. The captions are as bad as Concorde Films circa 1990.

"the fat lady with dreads" by newc0253	Mar 24th, 2007 08:15:03 AM
was the most irritating character in the film, but then she was meant to be. the point was that the resistance were mostly the kind of hippy flakes and wankers that clive owen's character (and any other right-thinking person) would run a mile from under normal circumstances. but post-apocalyptic UK obviously ain't normal circumstances. the fat lady with dreads is an exercise in empathy - empathy with the kind of annoying person you wouldn't normally want to hang around with. this is shown in her penultimate scene in the abandoned nursery, when you find out her backstory and actually feel sympathy for her character and presumably why she's such a massive flake. it's all part of the brilliance of cuaron's film, innit?
Book VS Movie... by beckuary	Mar 24th, 2007 08:31:16 AM
I don't know how many of you have read the book CoM is "based" on, but it's by far and away the strongest example for me personally of a movie being better than the book (with Fight Club holding the title previously). The book is, as is briefly mentioned in the interview, nothing at all like the movie aside from the names and the infertility concept, and the screenplany just runs with the concept and improves it so much. From a semi-rambling book where the characters' actions don't make much sense and you don't care about anyone, you get a genuinely tense and thoughful movie. (Not to say I don't love you, PD James, but this book is not your best."
Cuaron battling Yoshimi by thefoggiest	Mar 24th, 2007 11:42:57 AM

I know you'll never read this cos apparently you're "never coming back to this talkback" like the little bitch that you are. what the fuck is your problem, fella? you simply dont like the way i talk. pathetic. Grow the fuck up you ignorant little shit. ......(in feminine accent) "oh, my name's SK229 and i dont like people from Croydon so i'm going to insult them and run away". didnt your crackwhore of a mother raise you better than that? you judge people on WHAT they have to say & the content of their character, not where the fuck they are from. are you from 1950's america or something you hick twat. i know more about film than your tiny deep south redneck mind will EVER fathom. and thats what i come on here to talk about, pal. if you dont like it, fuck the hell off. seriously. i dispise people like you. you make me physically sick. that rough imitation of one of my posts was a fucking joke. i dont write like that at all and you know it. now piss off you little disgusting hitler wannabe. go watch american history x and jack off to your idol Derek Vinyard. i'm here to talk about films and share my views with others that have a passion for films, mate. i know who the fuck i am and where i come from. do you?

well i'm glad it did, fella. now all you lot stop hating on me cos i'm working class. its getting boring. i didnt realize this was an etonian talkback that occasionally discussed films- last time i looked it was called AICN, a place where i can talk about films to others that enjoy films too, mate. i'm off to watch england kick israel's arse on the pitch. i'll be back in 2 hours. behave yourselves.

...it is being pumped out on the losing format in addition to the DVD release. At least I did get to see it in the theatre. Speaking of appearing in the theatres for like 2 minutes...what the hell happened to Smokin' Aces?
Smokin Aces will be HD-DVD only as well. by polyh3dron	Mar 25th, 2007 08:16:21 PM
Universal only does HD-DVD and they are the only major studio that is exclusive to them. If they were to smarten up and release Blu Ray movies this stupid format war would be over. I actually bought the Xbox 360 HD-DVD addon mainly for this movie, The Thing and a few other Universal must-haves.
SK229 is a troll. i've just found out by council estate scumbag	Mar 26th, 2007 12:37:05 PM

Commentary tracks should be mandatory for DVD releases. by FuzzyWhisper	Mar 30th, 2007 01:56:29 AM
I certainly can't speak for anyone else, but for me a good commentary tremendously enhances the longevity of most films. I'm disappointed to hear the Children of Men DVD doesn't feature one, just as I am when any film I enjoyed in the theater ends up lacking the same. A masterpiece like Children of Men would still be a release day purchase if it had no bonus features whatsoever--there's no doubt there, naturally--but I can't help but wonder how difficult it would have been to enlist willing members of the crew to talk about their experiences on-set, or a qualified intellectual to analyze the cinematography or thematic elements, or even just a moderately well-spoken critic to yammer on about his friendship with the director, who he ate lunch with before the premiere, and how the film restored his faith in humanity. It could be that I'm expecting too much. It's just that, well, a documentary is a documentary: unless it's a truly remarkable piece, I can't see myself revisiting it after an initial viewing, you know? Commentaries don't get old nearly as quickly.
The Fountain DVD art isn't THAT bad... by SilentP	Apr 1st, 2007 01:09:42 AM
I mean, it's certainly not good, and considering the sheer amount of awesome imagery in the film they had to work with, it's pretty disappointing... but really, it's not nearly as bad as the Children of Men DVD art. Clive Owen standing beside a wall. What does that have to do with ANYTHING? Arrgh. At least the Fountain DVD art tells you it's a love story (or a... story about love, at any rate), and hints that it involves different time periods, lol. The back of the CoM DVD looks nice, though.

The birth of the kid: Best CGI I've ever seen by Ultron ver 2.0	May 24th, 2007 01:49:10 PM
I thought they really had a newborn, then I watched the bonus features. Amazing! Great movie, even though it's every unsettling.
Leave it to Cuaron to make a ho mankind's savior. by detinue	Jun 5th, 2007 06:19:24 AM
Then everyone wonders why the film never found an audience beyond the usual cretins.

You see the truth! Amen brother!
The book is as looney as the movie. by detinue	Jun 6th, 2007 02:20:55 PM
The pregnant woman is a bimbo there, too. And the author clearly has absolutely no understanding of male psychology. My apologies to Mr. Cuaron. In retrospect this isn't his mess and I was wrong to blame him.
