Oh Look at How Cool I Am, I am first by Martin Bishop	Mar 11th, 1999 04:45:13 AM
I will post absolutely nothing of consequence except to say oh look at how cool I am, because I am the first poster. If I see this stupid sort of thing again... c'mon that is like bragging that you are the first one in line at a stop light. Actually, though I wasn't a particularly huge fan of Austin Powers (yes it was funny, but not the best comedy ever put to film) Austin Powers II sounds shagadelic. Sean Patrick Flannery sounds like an interesting choice. Moriarty? Do you just walk up to the other journalists, and say, hello, I am Moriarty, resident evil genius and write for Aint-It-Cool-News? I am curious as to how that conversation came about. And yes, it is surreal that AICN and other fan sites actually are noticed, but you know, that is how things should be, producers of entertainment should listen to the fans, artists should have their audience in mind.
Seven Chances by maniacalmichael	Mar 11th, 1999 09:25:06 AM
"Seven Chances" is the name of the Buster Keaton silent feature that "The Bachelor" is remaking. It's surprising to me that someone who wasn't more of a physical comedian was chosen for the lead. It's hard to imagine this with spoken dialogue too. "Seven Chances" is available on video from Kino. Check it out!
You are having just too much fun... by lynnbracken	Mar 11th, 1999 09:37:08 AM
And thanks for the wonderful descriptions. I'm loving every second of reading it. Sounds like you're keeping up with everything. And never underestimate the value of napping. Grab one whenever you can. Of course, you may be too excited to sleep. I know I would. Keep 'em coming and thanks again!
oh look I am second... by mckracken	Mar 11th, 1999 09:38:04 AM
AM I THE ONLY PERSON ALIVE THAT HATED AUSTIN POWERS????? I'm NOT looking forward to the sequel AT ALL. I thought the first film was mind numbingly stupid. (and I only RENTED it and got about 30 minutes into it) SHEEESSSHH this is crazy, you want funny slapstick rent Charlie Chaplin but Mike Myers last decent movie was Waynes World (and that was nominal at best) somebody SHOOT ME please.
Austin Powers by Rocqueja	Mar 11th, 1999 09:40:38 AM
You geeks can have your Star Wars and your Eyes Wide Shut and stand in line for hours, I'm going to what should be the funniest film in a long time, Austin Powers. I'll bet I get in quicker and have just as good of a time (mainly 'cause I won't have to deal with annoying fanboys turning to thier equally annoying friends and saying "Didja see that, DIDJA?")
Re: Seven Chances by Dagan	Mar 11th, 1999 10:14:09 AM
Yes, Chris O'Donnel in the Buster Keaton role??? Come on. Seven Chances features some of the most dazzling displays of acrobatics and physical comedy in any of Keaton's films. It's fantastic. As my film professor said when I told him of the remake, "Why don't they get Jackie Chan to play the role? That's the most obvious choice in the world!"
Oh, would you look at that.. by lynnbracken	Mar 11th, 1999 10:37:05 AM
Mr. I'm first, I'm first, somehow is not first now. Thank you, web-fairy godfather. (double hee.)
Freddy VS Jason by WesReviews	Mar 11th, 1999 12:31:57 PM
Whatever happened to the FREDDY VS JASON project? Did New Line make absolutely no mention of it?
you are not alone McCracken by spike lee	Mar 11th, 1999 01:28:49 PM
I watched Austin Powers after all the hype and box office success it recieved. I found the film to be very unfunny, most of the jokes in the film I remember from junior high. Mike Myers was funny on SNL, and I look forward to Sprockets(his funniest skit). As for Freddy vs Jason, it didnt suprise me not to see it mentioned, though it should of been. The Freddy franchise built New Line Cinema after the success of the original Nightmare (1984). Like I said a week or so back, horror gets no respect. The Freddy vs Jason film probably will be New Line's biggest hit right behind Austin Powers. I was happy to see them mention Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia, after Boogie Nights, I am really looking forward to his next film.
Iron Giant by Buddyboy	Mar 11th, 1999 09:01:45 PM
Warners/New Line had BETTER not drop the ball on one of the best recieved yet least promoted projects shown: "Iron Giant." The crowd reaction was AWESOME!
Thanks by Lee Ho	Mar 11th, 1999 09:11:12 PM
Thanks to Moriarty for the in-depth reporting. I would love to get in there and peek around since I'm almost down the street from Bally's. How does one get a press pass? :)
METHOS has been AWOL as of late by METHOS	Mar 11th, 1999 11:56:29 PM
But damn you, Moriarty. Natasha Lyonne rocks! BTW the second draft of Austin Powers floating around on the net is one of the funniest things I have ever read. If Myers and company get even a third of it on screen we're in for a treat. Remember how in the first film Austin was the star, but Dr. Evil was the stroke of genius? I think FAT BASTARD is the same deal.
Get ready for the "Natasha Lyonne Rocks!" post by Wack	Mar 12th, 1999 04:01:09 AM

Thanks. What I meant to say was... by METHOS	Mar 13th, 1999 03:13:36 AM
Natasha Lyonne rocks! Also anyone have any info on the Krzysztof Kieslowski documentary, "I'm So So?" I think it's supposed to street on vhs on March 16th. Anyone know something?
Fat Bastard is the annoying one. by Wolfpack	Jul 12th, 2006 07:44:00 AM
