Awesome! by 24200124	Sep 23rd, 2007 10:14:44 PM
Loved Hitchhiker's... will probably love Rambow as well.
Can you imagine... by MonkeyBytes	Sep 23rd, 2007 10:18:30 PM
..."First Blood" being your first encounter with cinema?! At 10 years old? You would think all movies were about damaged Vietnam vets unleashing themselves on small towns. What a truly twisting experience.
Sounds cool! by Lornsorrow	Sep 23rd, 2007 10:19:54 PM
Love to see it.
Studio exec: Supes and Indy got sons, so why not Rambo? by Mullah Omar	Sep 23rd, 2007 10:22:29 PM
No matter what this film is really about, five bucks says that paraphrases the session at which this film got greenlit.
2008: The year of Rambo? by The Dum Guy	Sep 23rd, 2007 10:24:14 PM
I want a war, and hope, they give me a war. So, Harry, when's you gonna get Sly back here for another Q and A? And what is the deal with the Willis one?

Sometimes - you just need to sit one out on the schedule - in this case - I so loved SON OF RAMBOW - that I wanted to write about it fresh and with the thoughts in my mind. Sometimes you owe it to the movies you're watching to process and give your mind a break, before continuing on. Then other times - it's an orgy, like BNAT - just keep swallowing till it comes out over your bottom lip and stains your shirt!

I think I just threw up at the thought of Harry at an orgy swallowing till it comes out over his bottom lip and stains his shirt....
hell yeah! by Chewbaccalypse Now	Sep 23rd, 2007 11:31:31 PM
Please Harry, try and get Sly back for a Q&A again! That was awesome! Totally changed my perception of the guy.
great flick by gredenko	Sep 24th, 2007 02:44:39 AM
i was anxiously waiting for son of rambow and it was fantastic. this is my first time at this festival but as i waited in line for this i imagined that we'd walk in to see a pre-show reel of rambo cartoons and as soon as they let us in--that's exactly what we got. i love that attention to detail!
Comparisons between this and Clowes script by Brendon	Sep 24th, 2007 03:57:26 AM
I don't know why Harry seems to be unfavourably comparing this to Daniel Clowes 'Raiders remake' script. Son of Rambow has the better screenplay, hands down, and I doubt very much that the Raiders film will be the better movie. Very, very much.
Fuck Son Of Rambo by phoenixmagi	Sep 24th, 2007 06:30:00 AM
and bring on daddy himself. can't wait for John Rambo and the return of Sly to AICN. This time we all get to win!
Not really getting the love for this by Garbageman33	Sep 24th, 2007 06:44:19 AM
I saw it in Toronto and was considerably less impressed than Harry. I know that puts me in the minority, but to me, Son of Rambow quickly degenerated from a fun, whimsical look at one kid's childhood to a cliched ABC After School Special about the power of friendship. By the end, it didn't matter that the kid was from a pious religious sect or that it was set in England or that John Rambo was prominently involved. It just felt really generic to me.
I second that, phoenixmagi!!! by Daddylonghead	Sep 24th, 2007 06:47:58 AM
JOHN RAMBO JOHN RAMBO JOHN RAMBO JOHN RAMBO JOHN RAMBO I don't even really care about a Q&A (although the first one was unbeatably amazing), I want info on the MOVIE!!!
Yeah, Clowes is an awful screenwriter to be honest. by Daddylonghead	Sep 24th, 2007 06:51:58 AM
As someone who suffered through the entirely unpalatable "Art School Confidential," I can never be excited about anything scripted by Dan Clowes ever again. Oh well, at least I have my old Lloyd Llewellyn comics, those still hold up. Shoulda stuck to the funnies, Dan...
Yo by BDT	Sep 24th, 2007 07:14:00 AM
Harry...think you might've gotten the names mixed up a bit. Joshua is the Brethren elder, William is the little boy Brethren and the imp with the camera was Lee (at least that's what it sounded like). Anyhoo, cute movie.
art school confidential is an insult.... by LORDRANDO	Sep 24th, 2007 02:49:20 PM
to all the shitty art churned out from an art school....and im sitting in one right now...ps a friend of mine died recently and we used to play rambo and fire rpgs at the "viet cong" played by our hositle neighbor's dogs! Fuckin classic.....one of us would hold the weapon and the other would throw a tennis ball....
Looking forward to Son of Rambow... by Forsakyn	Sep 24th, 2007 03:14:08 PM
And John Rambo, for that matter.
Art School Confidential was a clear example... by DallasGoodbar	Sep 24th, 2007 10:17:30 PM
that art college programs are a total scam! The instructors and administrators are out of touch, yet the alumni program asks for more money. Clowes went to Pratt Institute, the same wretched hive of scum and villainy I graduated from.
whateva by Orionsangels	Sep 25th, 2007 12:45:59 AM
ahhh carlito! i heard a u man. you used to run smack for rolando. '''lil bit lil bit''' lil bit? I heard you guys were fuckin kings!
where can I find the Clowes script? by pavemental	Sep 25th, 2007 03:16:51 PM
It must be circulating out there.. me wants to read. Ghost World is one of the best films of the decade.
I'm reminded to watch LeVar Burton on READING RAMBOW! by MrMysteryGuest	Sep 25th, 2007 10:22:48 PM
I like that show! ;P
MrMysteryGuest by gotilk	Sep 26th, 2007 01:53:29 AM
I agree. But don't take my word for it. Bah-dumm-dumm!

Try 'Son of Lame-O' by Nate Champion	Sep 30th, 2007 04:14:13 PM
This movie sucks... every joke is either some half-baked 80s nostalgia trip or someone falling on their face and/or getting hit in the head with some kind of object. Typical that Harry would praise this kind of ape-cage bullshit and then rave about There Will Be Blood... what's the point of having taste, anyways?

Son of Rambow cast hiccups by writerwriter2	Feb 18th, 2008 11:31:04 AM
Seems like poor Harry is really fest-fatigued! Neil Dudgeon ('Joshua') is an adult British actor, not a child actor. The main child part, 'Will Proudfoot' is played by Bill Milner. 'Will' is 'Joshua's' son. The second main child part, 'Lee Carter', is played by Will Poulter. Even IMBD get these two mixed up on their photo captions. Someone at Paramount Vantage publicity ain't too swift.
