I read something interesting about this movie... by cornponious	Jan 3rd, 2008 01:47:54 PM
At the end, right before everyone dies by shotgun, Indy comes swinging out of a cave and fires his blaster at the shotgun wielding lunatic, and shoots him first with his whip. But then everybody dies of dysentery anyway.
Am I the only one who remembers the promise of more Q&A with Sta by jack-torrance	Jan 3rd, 2008 01:48:08 PM
At the end of the 20 days of Q&A with Sly for Rocky Balboa, we were told he would do it all over again for RAMBO. Well, RAMBO is released Jan 25. So the 20 days of Q&A would have to start on the 5th or 6th! So where's the word on it? There's been no invitation to send in questions.

Nice use of the National there at the end by Garbageman33	Jan 3rd, 2008 01:50:35 PM
Great band. Better than the trailer deserves.
I dunno. I saw this last year and... by Novaman5000	Jan 3rd, 2008 02:38:42 PM
Eh. It was ok... Kind of boring. Decent performances I guess, the story wasn't particularly compelling or suprising.
American Crime was far more depressing. by Novaman5000	Jan 3rd, 2008 02:39:49 PM
FAR more.
No point... by Tourist	Jan 3rd, 2008 02:50:04 PM
...Putting out for awards consideration. The guy has made two fo the best American films of the last two decades and no one pretty much gave a shit.

Slappy Jones: HRC presidency good for talk radio. by Diagnostic	Jan 3rd, 2008 03:20:16 PM
If their heads exploded, it would be from delight and giddiness for having a HRC and Bill to rail on. The Clintons have been very good for right wingers. OTOH, the Snow Angel trailer is not as good as the first 5 minutes of the Dark Knight.

looks pretty badass and it's got beckinsale... im there
Beautiful film, not so depressing. by Bungion Boy	Jan 3rd, 2008 03:36:01 PM
One of my favorite films from Sundance. Saw it again in Brooklyn last summer. It is a wonderful film. Maybe Green's best so far. It's true that there are some horrible tragedies that take place in the film, and it's very very sad, but I wouldn't say it's depressing. There is a lot of humor in the characters and one of the stories is actually incredibly uplifting in contrast to the main story. I too don't know why this wasn't released in the fall. It would be on my top ten list if it had been.

AICN is no longer the source for news by AlwaysThere	Jan 3rd, 2008 04:33:21 PM
Everyone else on the internet beats them to the punch. It's nothing new.
Is CUBA GOODING JR IN THIS? by skywalkerfamily	Jan 3rd, 2008 04:38:08 PM
Sounds like something he would do.
Kate Beckinsale with Nicky Katt? WTF? by BetaRayBill07	Jan 3rd, 2008 04:45:21 PM
Websters defines "mismatch" as these two together.
Gaggle of morons by Major Hockshtetter	Jan 3rd, 2008 05:02:20 PM
Bless a site like AICN to push David Gordon Green's work. Probably one of our most accomplished filmmakers who is largely ignored. Go queue up a W.S. Anderson or Uwe Boll flick in your BluRay decks and leave the intellegence to those who can handle it. I'm sorry. Did that come off as angry?
Better watch out BetaRayBill07 by Garbageman33	Jan 3rd, 2008 05:08:38 PM
Nicky Katt is here to kick ass and drink beer. And he's almost out of beer. Yes, that was him as Clint Bruno in Dazed and Confused, beating the crap out of Adam Goldberg. Funny that Dazed and Confused had so many young actors in it who would go on to fame and fortune and yet, the star was Jason London. Or was it Jeremy?
HAHA! That "intertubes" thing is never NOT funny by JimCurry	Jan 3rd, 2008 05:23:53 PM
Keep it up!

Hehe my daughter could beat the crap out of Adam Goldberg
Singer Likely Off Superman by kevinwillis.net	Jan 3rd, 2008 05:33:22 PM
Nothing on Routh that I can find, other than he won't be Superman in the JLA flick, whenever that gets made.
Routh by otm shank	Jan 3rd, 2008 05:42:35 PM
They don't say that he's off superman. Just that the next superman on screen will be a younger kid on the Justice League movie.
What are you saying Gus? by Garbageman33	Jan 3rd, 2008 05:44:40 PM
That an Americanized PG-13 version of an Asian horror flick is gonna be less than Oscar-caliber?! You're kidding, right?
I love DGG...BUT.. by jabbayoda	Jan 3rd, 2008 06:08:19 PM
...the footage from Pineapple Express that's online and included with the 2-disc Superbad DVD...is not at all funny. Looks really bad. I'm not sure how DGG got paired up with a Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg script....it could either be great..or it could 2 hours of that painfully bad trailer. We'll see.
Where's your "Best of 2007" lists? by Thrillhouse55	Jan 3rd, 2008 06:43:09 PM
COME ON FELLAS! I'm dying here. I'll be knee-deep in 2008 movies before I get your lists with stuff I've missed from 2007!!!
Amy Sedaris is in this! by BadMrWonka	Jan 3rd, 2008 07:34:35 PM
I'm seeing it no matter what, now...plus, Rockwell playing crazy is pretty enticing...remember the Moonlight movie he did with Turturro a while back?
Can't play the movie..... by closeencounter	Jan 3rd, 2008 08:09:43 PM
The intertubes aren't working.... Maybe they're fuckingly depressed too. Shame.
Another trailer that shows the whole movie by Utamoh	Jan 3rd, 2008 08:12:08 PM
Man, it's like an obsessive compulsion in Hollywood to sum up entire films in 3 minutes.
Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. by Garbageman33	Jan 3rd, 2008 08:48:34 PM
I agree wholeheartedly with whoever said that David Gordon Green was an odd choice for Pineapple Express. I mean, the guy's not exactly known for his comedic chops. And just because he's a good director doesn't mean he's gonna be a good comedy director. Look at Spielberg with Hook and The Terminal. Ridley Scott with A Good Year. Coppola with Peggy Sue Got Married. The list goes on and on.
concur, utamoh... by couP	Jan 3rd, 2008 10:25:43 PM
these trailers are absolutely ridiculous. looks like kid was taken by new man even though ex was made to look violent; an ingenious ploy.
old news but by BrightEyes	Jan 3rd, 2008 10:32:37 PM
I don't mind , its better that people talk about DDGG then not at all. David Green is the best of the new wave of filmmakers

Looks like a good flick... by Bone-In Foray	Jan 4th, 2008 01:15:28 PM
I think perhaps the TB community at large has been inundated in recent weeks with quality film titles - it's always like this in the shadow of the winter solstice sun. But lest we not forget what awaits us in June - loads and loads of crap. Let's enjoy every quality film for what it is or at least entertain the idea of seeing it instead of supplanting promising titles with preconceived notions of what's interesting - i.e. pulp. I loved 'Country' no less than its most avid supporters, but it's based on some pretty lurid source material and might seem "interesting" via trailer regardless of who directed it. Meanwhile, with the exception of DGG's last flick Undertow, he's avoided the overuse of sensationalism and has succeeded every time. Make the time to see this one and you probably won't be disappointed.
David Gordon Green... by Librerarian	Jan 4th, 2008 02:05:56 PM
One of the absolute best directors working right now. All the Real Girls is probably one of my favorite movies ever. This is one of those that I'll see "come hell or high water."
I wanna see it by Detective_Fingerling	Jan 4th, 2008 05:23:29 PM
I do. I've got to check out this Undertow movie too. It's on my Blockbuster Total Access que, but sitting at position 51 right now.
