Richard Kelly now has old one-eye in his BOX!!!

Likely to be Kelly's best by Brendon	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:03:51 AM
because it actually has a good story to start with
Nah.... by Doc_Hudson	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:10:33 AM
I give him a few more films to equal Darko.I'm still unsure whether I can stomach the Rock in Southland,....but who knows....at least he has some original ideas,which is sorely lacking today in Hollywood.
He's gotta get over Southland Tales somehow... by MatDGZ	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:25:34 AM
This sounds like a good Kelly flick. Let's forget that downtime with Stifler and get on with FILMMAKING!
this was a new twilight zone episode by palewook	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:35:08 AM
in the mid 80s, called Button, Button. from IMDB: Season 1, Episode 20: Profile in Silver/Button, Button Original Air Date: 7 March 1986
yeah i just saw that episode by callan_rowe	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:40:50 AM
i remember watching it and thinking. That would make a cool movie, too bad its already been done. a really annoying women gets the box. says if she presses the button she will get $200000 and someone she" doesnt know"will die. she presses it gets her 200g. Then the dude takes the box back and goes. i am going to give it to someone you dont even know. What a cheeky bastard that kelly is. exact same premis. still it could be cool. just wierd that that is like the only ep i have seen, and i watched it and thought cool. Now kellys doing it. Like something out of THE TWILIGHT ZONE. na ne na na na ne na na.
There's a Pushing Daisies spin-off already?????? by couP	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:49:13 AM
God these people don't waste any time. Hmm, in semi-seriousness, this sounds retarted.
Bet this is gonna be solid. by Knuckleduster	Nov 2nd, 2007 07:04:28 AM
I like the simplicity of the premise. Kelly tends to complicate his storylines way too much, so this is a very welcome change. Not the biggest Marsden fan, though.
Should we expect in 10 years time? by Shady Drifter	Nov 2nd, 2007 07:16:15 AM
The count-down starts now. Don;t hold your breath.
When I saw it was ol "one eye"... by Bert Fischer	Nov 2nd, 2007 07:36:16 AM
...I thought it was another Timberlake SNL box sketch.
This will be a great film. by haggardatbest	Nov 2nd, 2007 07:41:37 AM
Only thing that will make it better is if 'Clops does his "Hairspray" dance in every scene.
-sigh- by Anna Valerious	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:10:54 AM
His name is Jimmy, he only changed it to James to be taken more seriously. And it's not working. Hell, I loved "Sugar and Spice", cheered when he got killed in X3, and am looking forward to "Enchanted" to see this guy get beaten up. :)
YES YES YES by Be_a_zed	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:23:14 AM
I bet this will be awesome, I soooo can't wait
Sounds Interesting by RobFromBackEast	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:34:57 AM
Cool cast, great concept, brilliant director. I'm there
RIchard Kelly is not a 'brilliant director'. by 69DUDE	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:54:28 AM
He's made one great film - Darko. And nothing else, even Southland Tales looks suspect. If we were to claim everyone who ever made one great film a 'brilliant director', then we'd all be saying that about Jan De Bont, wouldn't we? But we are most definitely not.
Old Japs-Eye by FILMFUNK	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:26:30 AM
Sounds triguing! If it was always twats that died when you pushed the button or murderers or politians then i'd be pressin it like I was playing Track and field!
Matheson by Irresolute	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:36:20 AM
I read through parts of "Hunted Past Reason" since i couldn't find "I Am Legend" in my library, and I sincerely hope that "Legend" is better than that. Because that book was shit.
What's In.... by Reel American Hero	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:36:47 AM
The Boxxxx....?
Irresolute... by raw_bean	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:43:37 AM
...I've never read 'Hunted Past Reason, but for what it's worth I think I Am Legend is a great book.
Cyclops? I thought it was gonna be..... by SanityKaos	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:30:33 PM
Colonial Tigh!
What happened to that other Kelly movie by Jor-El23	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:21:27 PM
About the time capsule with the children's drawings depicting the future? It sounded a little bit like Donnie Darko but still interesting.
weak cast and premise by SpawnofAchilles	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:26:48 PM
I like Kelly and the premise has promise (heh) but I agree about not seeing it stretched into a feature, and I can't stand Marsden(always a d-bag in movies, must be one in real life) or Diaz (way past prime) and what has she done that's good anyway. I like Darko like everyone else but am skeptical of this and Southland, here's hoping they turn out though
Irresolute by SpawnofAchilles	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:28:56 PM
In my opinion the I Am Legend book/story is phenomenal, I highly recommend it, and while I'm at it, I just read No Country for Old Men and that was one of the best books I've ever read, The Road was great too
Not really a big fan of this premise... by chaplinatemyshoe	Nov 2nd, 2007 03:19:16 PM
But then good writing's good writing. My brother calls Richard Kelly too clever for his own good. At this point, I might have to agree...
Kelly's not too clever for his own good. by Knuckleduster	Nov 2nd, 2007 03:50:20 PM
He just thinks he is.
Re: Knuckleduster by JAGUART	Nov 2nd, 2007 03:59:58 PM
You just don't get it. I bet you're over thirteen years old.
If the premise is simple it should serve Kelly well by the beef	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:14:05 PM
I think he can be a fine director but I'm not so sure that Kelly is able to accurately write what he's thinking. He may be clever, but it isn't translated well in his scripts. SOUTHLAND TALES I think is just waaaaaaaay too ambitious of a project that Kelly couldn't make it coherent, at all. I think part of why Darko worked was that the story was subjected on just Donnie. I think if Kelly can fixate himself on just one or two main characters he'll be fine. He's got a good sense of making things look pretty. Even though I didn't at all like SOUTHLAND TALES it did look nice.
Dick in the Box movie? by JoeSixPack	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:59:33 PM
Starring Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg
I'd like to put my one-eye in Cameron's box by Osmosis Jones	Nov 3rd, 2007 07:02:28 AM
