Mark Romanek leaves WOLF MAN! Updated! Who might come in to direct and what's this about INVISIBLE WOMAN?

Bring in Alex Proyas. by Kid Idioteque	Jan 30th, 2008 01:00:45 AM
That would probably work well.
Well, this sucks. by a goonie	Jan 30th, 2008 01:09:08 AM
I too thought Romanek was an interesting choice for directing this flick and have been really excited about this movie because of the cast and his involvement. This reminds me (and I'm sure many others) of Matthew Vaughn's infamous X-Men 3 quitting, where he was of course hastily replaced by Brett Ratner. Now I don't expect Universal to go and grab Ratner, but this still freaks me out. An intriguing up-and-coming director taking a stab at a BIG genre movie who leaves shortly before production begins. I'm afraid this might end badly. At the very least, I'm hoping we get to see this brought to the screen in some capacity.
Here comes Brett "Sloppy Seconds" Ratner by LHombreSiniestro	Jan 30th, 2008 01:14:12 AM
....you just know it.
Speed by Quint	Jan 30th, 2008 01:15:04 AM
There could be a lot of movies included if you consider every creature movie Universal has done as a "Universal Monster Movie." If Jaws would be included, then of course I'd pick that, but Universal Monsters are usually Mummy, Wolf Man, Creature, Frankenstein and The Invisible Man. Just sayin'.
Alex Proyas is turning into a flash in the pan by Series7	Jan 30th, 2008 01:18:25 AM
Though these The Work music directors are earning there keep. Spike Jones in some aspects surpassing the Duke of music video directors (David Fincher). I FEEL like its time for Chris Cunningham to earn his keep. I think he has proven to be more suited to the role of directing this movie. Just keep going down the line. THOUGH i don't think Michel Gondry is the kind of director to be making a "faithful" Wolf man movie, an interesting one but maybe a little off base.
Also the Nip/Tuck guy by Series7	Jan 30th, 2008 01:21:04 AM
Wouldn't be a bad choice. I am probably just saying that because in this N/T episode is dealing with biting. Never caught Running with Alec Baldwins... which according to my mom sucks, and she likes horrible movies.
FUCK! What's going to happen? by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Jan 30th, 2008 01:21:42 AM

Who cares Quint by Series7	Jan 30th, 2008 01:22:26 AM
We all know Len Wiseman will come in and save the day!
Is Jonathan Glazer doing anything? by hktelemacher	Jan 30th, 2008 01:22:42 AM
I mean - he's already in the UK, right? I think he just sprang to mind because he and Romanek both had those Work Of ... discs from Palm come out at the same time. Glazer debuted strong (which is more than I'll say for Romanek) and went nowhere. I did dig Birth but never really gave it a second thought.
Fucking STUDIO fork over the money pussy ass bitches... by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Jan 30th, 2008 01:26:30 AM
Entering a Recession and fucking MONEY plays a factor? FUCK YOU! It's time for ART to win a battle! Romanek, make your own cut even if it's not legal, if it's the right thing both del Toro and Baker wil supposrt you! Otherwise they are corporate ass fucking whores that open their assholes to big fuckin wads of cash. If they do so I hope they die from anal bleeding.
I said die from anal bleeding by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Jan 30th, 2008 01:27:02 AM
cause this news sucks
Ratner is to movies... by IAmJack'sUserID	Jan 30th, 2008 01:35:30 AM
what Hitler was to Jews. The only "work" I want to see Ratface doing is toasting buns at the local Mickey Dees.
HOW ABOUT! by Series7	Jan 30th, 2008 01:35:56 AM
Mikael Håfström and Oliver Hirschbiegel double team this movie to the end's of there careers. Did no one learn from Fritz Lang?
And so goes the movie I was most anticpating... by Vanderhorst	Jan 30th, 2008 01:36:23 AM
...This just sounded crazy awesome. It could still be good, but it just won't be the same, to have one director swoop in and attempt to work off another's preproduction work. I think it would be good to get a great music video director to do the movie just because they would be familiar with his work after years of competing with him for projects - the aforementioned Chris Cunningham would be awesome, as would Sam Bayer (already prepping horror with that Near Dark remake) or Jonathan Glazer (who has already graduated to film with the supremely badass Sexy Beast)
Neil Marshall, welcome to America! by Ditch Brodie	Jan 30th, 2008 01:44:02 AM
That would be interesting.
That's a shame. by Psyclops	Jan 30th, 2008 01:55:12 AM
I was really looking forward to seeing what Romanek could do with this story. It seemed like everything was in perfect alignment with a great set of actors cast and Romanek out to prove what he could do. I really hope this movie doesn't fall apart because of this.
Yay Fantastic Four spin-off movie! by Spifftacular Squirrel Girl	Jan 30th, 2008 02:07:06 AM
...no wait that would be horrible. I'm guessing this might have more to do with H.G. Wells right?
Oh no......not the Cloverfield guys. by godhatesyou	Jan 30th, 2008 02:10:17 AM
Those two dicks are all websites and no action.
Felicity! by caruso_stalker217	Jan 30th, 2008 02:12:58 AM
Cast her as the love interest.
I was just thinking - by buffywrestling	Jan 30th, 2008 02:14:40 AM
and I know I was thinking because I smell smoke - why is it I dislike reimagining the horror icons I grew up with (Freddie, Jason, Leatherface, Micheal) but I do not mind remakes with Universal monsters (Frankenstien, Dracula, Wolfman, Invisible Man)? They are all icons , albit from different generations, and I'm thinking this might be a little hypocritical on my part. Frankenstien and Dracula had literature to play with which makes them open to interpratation but what of the newer icons? Has thier mystic been so solidified into pop culture presentation that it makes it extremely difficult to process a different version?
One of the biggest missed opportunities in cinema history? by Scapulawings	Jan 30th, 2008 02:20:30 AM
Um... ok. That's pretty over the top, don't you think?
wolf-man directors by The Real MiraJeff	Jan 30th, 2008 02:23:14 AM
first of all, matt reeves is definitely not going to direct wolf-man. second, i can't imagine there's any way in hell that Universe gives this movie to Breck Eisner after the Sahara debacle. Third, while I know I'm going to get killed for saying this, I do not think Brett Ratner would be a bad fit for this project. Fourth, if it weren't for The Hobbit's progress this week, I think Wolf Man could've been the Spider-Man movie that Raimi always wanted to make. There's some interesting parallels between the characters. Just sayin'. I thought One Hour Photo was great and I loved the idea of Romanek directing this so it's sad to see him go. I'd love to see what Tim Burton would do with it. Could you imagine Ridley Scott's Wolf Man, or on the other end of the spectrum, Gus van Sant's? What about waiting a year for Paul Greengrass who's making an Iraq movie for the studio? Either way, as long as Benicio and Hopkins stick around, and they don't change Andrew Kevin Walker's script, this project is bound to deliver regardless of who the director is, even if it did turn out to be Breck Eisner.
Brett Ratner not a bad fit? by caruso_stalker217	Jan 30th, 2008 02:27:54 AM
He can't really be a GOOD fit, though. Right?
I hope this works out. by red_weed	Jan 30th, 2008 02:28:00 AM
I just finished watching fur, where robert downey jr. is covered in hair. maybe they could get the guy that did that to direct it. didnt he do secretary too? and also.. CLOVERFIELD 2!!!! waaaaaa
Lets just hope Ratner by Mezzanine	Jan 30th, 2008 02:33:53 AM
doesn't show up. Dear God, keep that motherfucker away from this.
Not thrilled with either choice. by Psyclops	Jan 30th, 2008 02:34:26 AM
Matt Reeves? Breck Eisner? Is there no one else who can tackle this fucking thing? Maybe Brett Ratner isn't the worst possible choice after all.
to be clear by Quint	Jan 30th, 2008 02:36:25 AM
Those are two names being seriously talked about. My source didn't say they were the ONLY two names.
Ratner by Fineus Fog	Jan 30th, 2008 02:36:54 AM
could cast himself as the wolf man - I just saw an episode of Entourage - he's a hairy little fucker. Kind of looks like Ron Jeremy too I could'nt give two fucks about this flick unless Emily Blunt gets nekki
I'll suggest who I always suggest... by acorvey25	Jan 30th, 2008 02:37:04 AM
David Fincher. It'll never happen though. Fuck. Romanek would've been perfect. Paul Thomas Anderson? Sigh... I should prepare for the worst: Paul W.S. Anderson.
HERE COMES BRETT RATNER... by Redfive!	Jan 30th, 2008 02:37:41 AM
The Rat I bet is slobbering for this job,Im sure in his mind he can make the new exorcist and scare audiences crazy.HELL WHY NOT BRING ON THE RAT..THERE REMAKING ELM STREET WHY NOT FUC* THIS UP TOO.
Jonathan Glazer by Fineus Fog	Jan 30th, 2008 02:38:49 AM
no way - anyone seen "Birth". What a heap of wannabe Kubrick bullshit - funnily enough he aint done shit since
There's an idea... by acorvey25	Jan 30th, 2008 02:39:14 AM
Get Shane Black to direct the motherfucker.
Mirajeff - you're a fucking retard if you think Brett Ratner is by HEADGEEK	Jan 30th, 2008 02:39:39 AM
THE WOLFMAN - and what Romanek and Benicio and Rick Baker were making was a film about atmosphere, character and true horror. Ratner is absolutely in no way shape or form - capable of directing this type of film. He wouldn't know subtle if it walked by him winking. -- Breck Eisner has been developing CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON for quite some time with Universal - and that is a project of the same size, scale and scope of what Romanek was crafting at Universal. I could very much see them going with him. Personally - I would prefer UNIVERSAL to go after an ACTOR's director. Someone that can do atmosphere and horror. I'd go after David Cronenberg instantly.
What's worse than RATner? by KurtLockwood	Jan 30th, 2008 02:40:59 AM
A: McG
Please keep Van Sant and Greengrass away.. by Redfive!	Jan 30th, 2008 02:41:17 AM
If Van Sant makes this all I can imagine is Ang Lee's HULK via The Wolfman and with Greengrass you probally wont see any of The Wolfmans attacks,just a brown blurrr..I say David Lynch.
Howzabout by Fineus Fog	Jan 30th, 2008 02:41:33 AM
Gavin Hood - after he finishes Wolvy movie - he'll be well up on the play re: Hairy fellas
Directors. by Psyclops	Jan 30th, 2008 02:45:52 AM
I'd like to see what Tim Burton or even Ang Lee could do with this material. Someone mentioned Alex Proyas before and I think that could even be an interesting choice if the script held up (the draft I read a few months back was pretty strong). I was really looking forward to this movie, especially when everything seemed to be headed in the right direction, and I'd hate to see a great opportunity wasted when it had all this momentum going for it.
They're supposed to be filming this near me, so local papers say by HarryBlackPotter	Jan 30th, 2008 02:48:25 AM
Lacock in Wiltshire is used to wizards (Harry Potter) and Jane Austin (Pride & Prejudice), but I was looking forward to seeing some werewolves loping around in my neck of the woods.
Joel Schumacher by hamslime	Jan 30th, 2008 02:54:43 AM
Let this guy ruin another Andrew Kevin Walker script. This is bad news indeed. Maybe get Shane Carruth, he hasn't done anything since Primer and it would be neat to see what he could do with real actors.
Hmmm by DonnieDorko	Jan 30th, 2008 03:40:03 AM
Brett Ratner would not be a first choice but he might be able to pull it off, Red Dragon didn't hit the mark but it's a young director and he's seems to be developing his skills. David Fincher and PTA would be perfect but won't happen.. Maybe give William Friedkin a shot? He had it once..
Cloverfield 2? by magnius	Jan 30th, 2008 03:53:56 AM

Cloverfield 2? by magnius	Jan 30th, 2008 03:55:45 AM
Thanks goes to my cat for posting the previous blank entry Anyway...Please no sequel to Cloverfield!! Not seen it yet, but it looks to me like a film that needs no sequel...Can you smell the stench of Blair Witch 2?
Jonathan Glazer!! by thefrood	Jan 30th, 2008 04:08:39 AM
Now I'd like to see that. I've not seen Birth, but Sexy Beast is one of my all time favourites, not least for the interesting combination of the surreal and very real. He also gets emotional sympathy out of the most unlikely of characters in that movie. I could go on about how it's one of the best Love Stories committed to film... but I won't Lynch would be cool but unfortunately that ain't never going to happen. Ooh that was a bit of a long post wasn't it. Sorry...
I'm going to get pounced for this but... by Kirbymanly	Jan 30th, 2008 04:09:59 AM
Give Carpenter a shot. He's due for a major comeback.
Won't say anything about the first guy... by Tourist	Jan 30th, 2008 04:15:00 AM
...But Matt Reeves replacing Romanek. It's officially a case of who-gives-a-shit-itis. From inspired to a non trouble making, boring and pedestrian hack. Yay. Still, if he walked, he walked. No way you would waste money bringing on another fickle or tempermental choice. Still sucks.
francis lawrence or jonathan demme by red ezra	Jan 30th, 2008 04:36:27 AM
would that be the shit? - forget i am legend think constantine and all his fx experience kicking into gear on this one - if demme would consider it I can only imagine the dark world he would create around a character like the wolfman
What? No JUMPER talkback yet!! by rightarm4Rosario	Jan 30th, 2008 04:57:25 AM
I demand Justice!! Let there be JUMPER verbs and nouns aplenty! Rachel Bilson's Bilsoney-ness deserves nothing less. She's a wonder ...
As for Wolf-Man by rightarm4Rosario	Jan 30th, 2008 04:58:18 AM
There can be only one choice for the next Wolf-Man director. Gentleman, I give you: Tim Story!!
Too bad. by TattooedBillionaire	Jan 30th, 2008 05:01:57 AM
I was looking forward to Romanek's vision. I've heard the most amazing things about the script, plus Benicio del Toro is brilliant casting. Oh, and we all love Rick Baker, don't we? I'll have to think for awhile about who would be a good replacement for Romanek, but you people are scaring the shit out of me with all this Ratner talk!
OK. Let's look at some cool left-field choices by rightarm4Rosario	Jan 30th, 2008 05:07:15 AM
Hmm. Not the Cloverfield guy. Not Abrams for that matter. Who would I like to see do it, who probably would never consider it? Well, there's a few choices that stand out in my mind: Jason Reitman : would be nice to see what he'd do with something a bit more fantasy/creature/horror oriented James Cameron: A bit of a reach, realistically, but I think most visitors to AICN would see it Clint Eastwood: Despite some of his solid work, his version would probably suck. Still, we'd get a killer Jazz Soundtrack out of it. Hmm. Hey. How about - Robert Rodriguez: It just might work. ...
whoa by The Real MiraJeff	Jan 30th, 2008 05:13:06 AM
Q, I didn't mean to attack your reporting or anything. I'm sure your source was correct and he would know much better than I. I just know Reeves has been working on something and I doubt he'd just cast it aside to be somebody's second choice just because he's hot at the moment. And Harry, I would love for Cronenberg to step up and do something as big as Wolf Man but I can't seem him doing it. Like some of the other posters above, I could see the studio offering it to a guy like Ratner or Stephen Sommers, who obviously can't do it because he's directing G.I. Joe. I know how trendy it is to give Ratner shit around these parts and while I haven't seen Rush Hour 3, I've seen everything else he's done and while he hasn't done a great movie, he hasn't done a bad one in my opinion either. I wouldn't have a problem if he decided to challenge himself with this material and go a little bit darker and work out of his comfort zone. Maybe he's not an Actor's director but I think the guy makes entertaining movies and if I'm the studio, I know he's a guy whose films make money. Also, it seems like the visual look of the film, creature f/x, that sort of stuff, has been in motion for a while, and maybe Ratner would bring his own vision to it and give it a complete overhaul, or maybe if he worked off Romanek's blueprint it could turn out cool. I dunno, just don't like the bum rap the Rat gets sometimes. And besides, I didn't say he'd be a good fit, Harry, I said he wouldn't be a bad one. They could do a lot worse and Uwe know who I'm talking about. Those other names I mentioned were just goofs. Damn, you say one good thing about the Rat and you're branded a fucking retard for life. Now I know how Scott Foundas feels.
others by The Real MiraJeff	Jan 30th, 2008 05:19:11 AM
I love Proyas but he's doing Knowing. Glazer would be cool but this is kinda big for him. Obviously Fincher would rock but he's got Ben Button to worry about. I'd like to see what someone like Kathryn Bigelow would do with it, or the guy who directed I Am Legend. Just throwin suggestions out there, seeing where people go with 'em. Obviously Wolf Man isn't as sacred to me as it is to you guys so I'm gonna shut up and go back to SportsCenter.
last two by The Real MiraJeff	Jan 30th, 2008 05:21:35 AM
HK, you should convince Guillermo to do it. Now that'd be a cool movie. If not him, what about Timur. He's joining the big boys with Wanted, so why not?
According to Matt Reeves... by Darth Kong	Jan 30th, 2008 05:23:33 AM
Coming Soon: Can you tell us a little bit about your next project, "The Invisible Woman", and what audiences can expect from it? Reeves: Sure! She's not invisible, it's not a genre film in that sense. It is a kind of Hitchcockian thriller of sorts. It's basically about a woman who's incredibly desperate and she feels like she is invisible. It takes place on Long Island in New York. She's a housewife and a mother and she's got herself in a terribly desperate situation. I've read a lot of cases like this that are real, it's a strange phenomenon of people getting so desperate that they turn to robbing banks. This woman watches the neighborhood kids and goes out and nobody knows that she's robbing banks. I read about one family that robbed banks together, like the two daughters went in and the mother was driving the getaway car. They're people just like you and me, they've just mismanaged their personal situation so badly that they get terribly desperate. So this woman feels very alone and if she tells her husband the situation she's gotten them into financially she's going to lose her family, so it turns into this Hitchcockian thing where someone finds out what they're doing."

Not that bad of an idea by ricarleite	Jan 30th, 2008 05:34:08 AM
I want it to be directed by Frank Oz, though.
Oliver Hirschbiegel! by DerLanghaarige	Jan 30th, 2008 05:53:55 AM
But I guess he won't return to the USA to make amovie, after he got fcuked big time with The Invasion.
INVISIBLE WOMAN TB needed! screw this wolf-man shit by couP	Jan 30th, 2008 06:04:05 AM
sounds good enough to me from the Coming Soon description. also semi sounds like that british series where 4 women robbed a bank and then eventually got fuxord. And mirajeff, you go girl!
except it's not invisible womEn by couP	Jan 30th, 2008 06:05:47 AM
that's the sequel thought of though.
MiraJeff by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 30th, 2008 06:23:22 AM
How can you say anything good about The Rat? The guy is a cinematic antichrist. Just watch Manhunter and Red Dragon back to back to see what I mean.

The "monsters" in "I am legend" looked less realistic than the characters in "Who framed Roger Rabbit" ffs. The tagline would be: Every full moon, Benicio becomes an evil cartoon.

Give him the fucking money Goddammit! (& Tykwer) by half vader	Jan 30th, 2008 06:31:16 AM
This pisses me off so much as it's my most anticipated movie. And I'm a big Romanek fan. Hopefully it's just politics and Romanek is just pulling a wobbly (he is known for a temper after all) 'cause he wants things to be the best quality possible as usual. Man, perfect director, star, writer & makeup genius for this was obviously too good to be true. I hope everybody else sticks up for MR on this one. Everyone's striking these days anyway. If I had to vote for a replacement it would be for Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume). He could do the job I reckon. Wasn't AKW going to direct something himself? What was that? Quint?
I bet they hire Ron Howard. by DerLanghaarige	Jan 30th, 2008 06:34:12 AM

I am Legend pisses me off more by half vader	Jan 30th, 2008 06:39:49 AM
the more I think about it. At least Big Willie had the guts to (SPOILER) do what he did for the character for once, but aside from everything leading up to the head baddie's trap being great, it bloody sucked (no pun intended). Especially the way they perverted the meaning of the title which doesn't even make sense in the context of the character. Will anyone ever have the guts to do the book right? There's a reason it's a fucking classic you morons.
This is why Mirajeff should have his by Lost Jarv	Jan 30th, 2008 06:42:52 AM
blackbox priveleges removed: " I know how trendy it is to give Ratner shit around these parts and while I haven't seen Rush Hour 3, I've seen everything else he's done and while he hasn't done a great movie, he hasn't done a bad one" Twat, are your eyes, ears and sense of taste defective. Ratener hasn't made a GOOD movie. Maybe you took one too many in the head when you got your ass handed to you by Uwe Boll?
Terry Gilliam anyone? by Piltdown Joey	Jan 30th, 2008 06:44:36 AM

Harry's right, all about atmosphere!!!!!! by wilsonfisk89	Jan 30th, 2008 06:47:27 AM
This is a huge loss to a film I was very much looking forward to. Romanek is so gifted, one need only netflix his Directors Series DVD to get inspired. He build whole worlds within three mintutes of space. I have the dentist in five mins.. So Yeah, He would have made th fucking sky creepy, the houses, air, night, everyone on screen, and ... OF course it would have been the creepiest WOLFMAN since the 30's/40's-- Oh yea, why where there promo stills like a yr ago for this??
wilsonfisk89 by DonnieDorko	Jan 30th, 2008 07:03:54 AM

Maybe he can add a hammer fight sequence.
I suggest David Lynch by EvilGeek1	Jan 30th, 2008 07:15:23 AM
And change Emily Blunt's character to a backwards talking horse. Get some dancing pork chops in as well.
Dracula was the best monster, dullest movie by Drath	Jan 30th, 2008 07:15:59 AM
Seriously, Dracula's the top heavy. Abbot and Costello and Monster Squad were right to make him the lead villain in monster team ups, it's insane that he wasn't in the House of Dracula and House of Frankenstein movies. Alas, his first Universal movie was also the most boring and least resonant of the monster movies and that's WITH Bela Lugosi! Hell, the Mummy was almost an exact remake, but it was slightly better and didn't feel so much like a play (and big surprise, the Lugosi starring Dracula was based on the play rather than the book).

Every project he's attached to either falls apart or he walks away. He hasn't directed anything (other than videos, that is) since, what, 2002? Come on, Mark.
I think the last good werewolf movie was by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 30th, 2008 07:37:58 AM
Silver Bullet. I'd say The Howling, but I think that came out first. By the way, all Howling sequels sucked. The one with Nicholson and Pfeiffer was okay, but not great. Am I forgetting any good werewolf movie (don't say Underworld) or does everyone out there think Silver Bullet sucked.
Is DANNY BOYLE available!? by DerLanghaarige	Jan 30th, 2008 07:39:07 AM
I hope so!
Cloverfield 2 by batjac	Jan 30th, 2008 07:43:00 AM
The next Cloverfield is shot entirely from the monster's perspective. We see what really happened and why it was so pissed off. It turns out that miners had been destroying its eggs thinking they were just silicon modules. The creature was just defending itself and it's babies. So in an amazing crossover and lead in for the second Star Trek film- Spock mind melds with the Cloverfield monster. It was all a misunderstanding. In a final tear jerking moment--the monster places the head back on the statue of liberty.

It's really a shame. Romanek was perfect, but any of these guys could pull it off if the script is as good as Quint says it is. (Anderw Kevin Walker is the shit) Alex Proyas, Neil Blokamp, D.J. Caruso, David Slade,

"Fuck the Hobbit!" was a sentence I never thought I would see, except maybe from someone quoting a drunk Ian McKellen.

Walker should pull the Fincher card... by genro	Jan 30th, 2008 08:32:13 AM
Cronenberg is actually possible.
Too Bad by Samuel Fulmer	Jan 30th, 2008 08:32:30 AM
Romanek was the only interesting thing about this film.

He would kill this movie.
Cronenberg or Lynch by -888	Jan 30th, 2008 08:46:46 AM
or Fincher. But pay Lynch whatever he wants or whatever it takes to do this.

I am tired of Guillermo and Gilliam by brianroberts101	Jan 30th, 2008 09:00:47 AM
Jesus Christ! Can't we go through ONE talkback or article without a session of bashing ratner and sucking on Guillermo Del Toro or Terry Gilliam. Look, I love Hellboy, liked parts of Pan's Labyrinth, and eagerly anticipate At the Mountains of Madness, but come on! Labyrinth, which seems to get the most praise, wa shalf-baked..it DID NOT WORK as a movie overall...there was too much nothing in it and it felt hollow. As for Gilliam--the WORST Python...at times painfully unfunny...and take a look at his recent efforts...Jesus! What a terrible load of shit. As for Ratner, yeah, his movies aren't art and he's not right for the re-telling of the Wolf Man mythos, but give the fucker a break. Harry loves all these pedestrian blockbusters (see ANY review this summer), directed by what seem like commercial directors, and then bashed Ratner for directing the same shit. Again...come ON!
I thought they were filming this shit by Mysterious Yobo	Jan 30th, 2008 09:05:25 AM

Grammaton Cleric Binks by Lost Jarv	Jan 30th, 2008 09:29:59 AM
Ginger Snaps & Dog Soldiers are both excellent werewolf movies.
gilliam!!! by idrinkyourmilkshake	Jan 30th, 2008 10:36:51 AM
Gilliam could easily pull it off.Sides, he's GREAT at taking over projects that were already started before before he comes on board.Glazer could be good, I think Sexy beast is amazing, and the wolfman movie would be a GREAT change of pace for him(which he seems to like). If not-go spend some $$, and convince Chris Cunningham to finally make something(although I think somethnig sleek and sc-fi-y would be better suited for him). When all else fails,Peter Berg is ALWAYS AVAILABLE!!
"if it weren't for The Hobbit's progress this week, by DocPazuzu	Jan 30th, 2008 10:58:05 AM
...I think Wolf Man could've been the Spider-Man movie that Raimi always wanted to make. There's some interesting parallels between the characters. Just sayin'." What the fuck does that even MEAN? MiraWhiff, you are a writer of dreadful, obnoxious and semi-intelligible things. Please stop, for the love of all things cinematic and good.
Lost Jarv, I didn't know Ginger Snaps by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 30th, 2008 11:05:03 AM
was a werewolf flick, and I forgot all about Dog Soldiers. I haven't seen it, but I know the premise, and it sounds cool. That's on my to watch list. Thanks for the reminder.
It's about time Terence Fisher made a comeback! by hktelemacher	Jan 30th, 2008 11:12:18 AM
But if he's unavailabe I'd say roll the dice and throw it to Lucky McKee. That fella can't catch a break and he proved with The Woods he can make an awful, almost non-script play better than it should and at least look pretty good for next to no money. Now give him a good script, a budget and some freedom ... It might not produce the 100 % traditional foggy London town atmosphere people want to associate with the wolf man, but I think it would be a bold move.
The ONLY choice for getting the ATMOSPHERE right is... by Timothy E RAW	Jan 30th, 2008 11:14:44 AM
Seriously fellas, some of these choices are batshit insane! You really think the director of NIGHTWATCH wouldn't turn this all into Matrix-lite flashy gimmickry? Alex Proyas is almost "too genre" for my taste. No the first word in atmosphere, who deserves a shot and comes with a much cheaper price tag - BRAD ANDERSON. Any of you ever see a little film called SESSION 9? Probably the most atmospheric chiller since the likes of THE CHANGELING, THE EXORCIST and VILLAGE OF THE DAMMED. The guy has also directed two of the most amazing romantic comedies of all time in NEXT STOP WONDERLAND and HAPPY ACCIDENTS and the reason I mention these is due to the real life humamn element he brings to otherwise "only in a movie" situations. If you want a lynchian feel as many of you are suggesting, Anderson's THE MACHINST (though a lesser film than the 3 perfect ones before it) goes some of the way towards that. Cannot wait for his new effoet with Emily Mortimer, will be immense! Give this guy a shot! On another note ONE HOUR PHOTO is one of my favorite films of the 00's, so seriously bummed about Mark's departure. So far the only suggestion i think is in anyway suitable for the material is TOM TWYKER, better than even Fincher I'd say. The last time he was operating at the level needed for this story was 1995. There, I said it.
KRISTEN BELL FOR INVISIBLE WOMAN! by Pennsy	Jan 30th, 2008 11:30:20 AM
A guy can dream, can't he?
Mirajeff by Kloipy	Jan 30th, 2008 11:30:31 AM
dude, are you serious? Brett Ratner? Do you realize how many retarded wolfman movies are out there? There are only a couple good ones. Why should we settle for just a "good" movie? I don't want corny-ass wolf jokes, I want a serious take on the story. If you like Ratner, i guess good for you, but for the rest of us who want a great movie, don't even bring up his name.
What else Mark Romanek has done by Vanderhorst	Jan 30th, 2008 11:56:17 AM
This guy is well known for his music videos. Like many directors, the actual music videos he did were way better than anything Fincher ever pulled out- the guy was a trailblazer, but he still did most of his work for Paula Abdul. Anyway, here's what Romanek did: Johnny Cash - Hurt Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug; Closer Jay Z - 99 Problems Beck - Devil's Haircut Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way Fiona Apple - Criminal Mick Jagger - God Gave Me Everything [wolfman scenes using this technique would be terrifyingly awesome) No Doubt - Hella Good Audioslave - Cochise Linkin Park - Faint Google those and see the opportunity that has been missed. PS - Amen to stopping with the constant wanks for Gilliam (clearly busy with the most delicate salvage job of all time) or Guillermo del Toro, the most overrated director of modern times. 'Pan's Labyrinth' was a shameless nerdifying of all Spanish anti-fascist cinema, such as 'Cria Cuervos'.
Bad news by moviemaniac-7	Jan 30th, 2008 12:02:10 PM
Romanek could have brought this to great heights. One of the movies I was looking forward to. Too bad.
Xiphos, why don't we just have them make Cursed 2? by Kloipy	Jan 30th, 2008 12:14:02 PM

This is gonna go to by Series7	Jan 30th, 2008 01:24:03 PM
Mark Steven Johnson. SWEET! I am surprised I have not seen Mitchell Lichtenstein, the David Bruckner Dan Bush Jacob Gentry team, or David Slade. I think those are the directors you should be looking to. They have all had much better first films then One Hour Photo (though Hard Candy felt very similar) and Birth sucked. I'd put my money on David Slade, 30 days was an awesome scary movie. I say a long shot for directors Jeremy Saulnier or Brad Anderson, Anderson does mood (Sessions 9 not the only bad Christian Bale movie (not Bales fault though)), not sure if Saulnier can handle big FX yet. So stop fucking saying Ratner/ Fincher/Guillermo/Gilliam, they obviously want a new guy not a name director. Which I think is good because it shows they want to make this something cool. I love werewolf movies, even the one with Jack Nicholson in it. Also Benicio Del Toro kind of looks like ole Jack, and I am glad Mark Romanek is off this film. He made it I feel like it would have been too Wolf like.
Harry's right, this should be a Cronenberg movie by bswise	Jan 30th, 2008 01:30:37 PM
It's got all the hallmarks, weird biological transformations, disassociative identity disorder, disturbing sex scenes, all-too-pleasing violence.... He's not even doing anything right now, is he? I don't really see this as Fincher's kind of thing. Besides, he's going to do Rendezvous with Fricken Rama!!! And, by-888, there's now way in the Black Lodge that Lynch will ever ever in a million years accept another director-for-hire assignments. Made that mistake with Dune, and he'll never go back. What would be the point, anyway?
breck eisner sucks by Gungan Slayer	Jan 30th, 2008 01:49:40 PM
just throwing that out. And I'm not thrilled with this remake, or any for that matter.
Chris Cunningham by AnimalStructure	Jan 30th, 2008 01:51:56 PM
Glad Romanek is off the project. He is so fucking 1990's, in the worst way possible. Why doesn't Cunningham get a shot to do movies?
David Fincher.. obvious, I know... by JimCurry	Jan 30th, 2008 02:33:54 PM
but I sure would blow a load if it were announced.
Hows about... by theyetiiswaiting	Jan 30th, 2008 02:41:54 PM
...someone like Mary Harron or Michael Apted? If he wasn't still busy with the Guerrilla/Argentine flicks then Soderbergh would be good too, I think. I'd love to see Cronenberg tackle this, though if the studio wanted a director of his caliber then surely they'd have gone after him to begin with?
My suggestion.... by godhatesyou	Jan 30th, 2008 03:14:17 PM
Ed Wood.
Cronenberg said.... by maceodkat	Jan 30th, 2008 03:38:22 PM
that he was done with horror movies. it sucks cause i'm sure what we would get something awesome
I'm with Quentin by Steve Trevor	Jan 30th, 2008 04:02:47 PM
or Eli Roth. Either could do justice to the concept/franchise.
Ratner's THE WOLF MAN by FatherMcGruderKicksAssForTheLord	Jan 30th, 2008 04:37:29 PM
= tranny hooker in furry suit. So much Cronenberg love around here, and I just don't get it ... I like some of Cronenberg's stuff, but the guy knows subtelty like I know genomics. Xistenz (or whatever the godawful title was)? How 'bout Eastern Promises? For all of the fawning, many overlook the fact that he continually overplayed his hand on that flick. Also, he'd no doubt want to recast Benicio w/ Viggo. He's got a Viggo fetish lately. And gods help us if he EVER gets in front of a camera again.
Whedon fans unite! Come on HERC. by brainstormchaser	Jan 30th, 2008 05:50:53 PM
Joss Whedon would be a fantastic choice to step in and direct this film. Even if it gets pushed back a little bit. It's but fun having him direct the occasional episode of "The Office" but since "Wonder Woman" fell through and there's been no news on "Goners" or a sequal to "Serenity"(both Universal properties) he needs to get out there do something big so that more people will realize he's got the stuff far more than JJ Abrams does. While shooting in England Joss can even scout for "Ripper" locations and probably bring the brilliant Anthony Stewart Head aboard in some capacity.
TOP 5 by idrinkyourmilkshake	Jan 30th, 2008 05:56:16 PM
1) Chris Cunningham(its a gamble i'd like to watch) 2)Twyker( perfume was awesome! amazing texture to the movie-might not be too interested in repeating himself ...) 3)Alfonso Cuaron ( just cuz..) 4)Michael Bay-although this is probsbly too "under budget" a film and cpncept for him-he's a pretty slick director-and WOULD BE interesting to see him make something for fantasy oriented. 5) lastly..Stanley Kubrick(just take his DNA from a fossilized amber egg..and stuff)\ Now, Really best would be Del Torro,or even Alejandro AMenebar -people who arent typically known for making makeup monster films. alright this turkey is cooked-next talkback!!
INVISIBLE WOMAN could be fun by Orionsangels	Jan 30th, 2008 06:30:37 PM
From a special effects point of view anyway. Women wear so much more clothes and accesories than men. The CGI artist can have a field day. Makeup, jewelry, Bras, Lingerie, strappy shoes, wigs, tampons

Nah, Bodet... by DocPazuzu	Jan 30th, 2008 07:07:07 PM
...it's not really the Ratner suggestion that bothers me. It's the yap!yap!yap! and the boner-induced gibberish we're subjected to. I mean, could YOU figure out what he was trying to say there? On a side note, some dude posted a homemade DVD of the entire (8-episode) Quark series online. I figured since we're only a year apart and you like the 70s shit as much as I do, you'd appreciate that.

"Actor's director"? Been there, done that... by anchorite	Jan 30th, 2008 08:39:45 PM
Mike Nichols is an actor's director... and look what he managed to do with the werewolf genre: WOLF. It wasn't a bad movie, but it sure as hell isn't the kick-ass werewolf movie that Benecio and Romanek would have probably given us. Who knows, maybe a different director with the same amount of passion for the subject matter will be able to make a fantastic genre film. But Ratner sure as hell isn't the guy. Eisner probably isn't either, although I actually liked Sahara okay. It wasn't a disaster as a film. It WAS a disaster as a money-making film, though. But Eisner surely isn't alone in that category. Stephen Sommers needs to stop making movies forever after the disastrous Van Helsing. That was a disaster as a film AND as a money-maker.
Let Rick Baker and Benicio both Direct by FILMFUNK	Jan 30th, 2008 08:42:58 PM

It's another one of these metaphor movie titles by Orionsangels	Jan 31st, 2008 01:01:35 AM
The ink has settled on Reeves’s other project, The Invisible Woman, described as a “Hitchcock-style thriller that probes the mind of a former beauty queen who turns to a life of crime to protect her family.” See, she's not really Invisible. She's just living her life hidden from the rest of the world. Like Invisible.
Reeves own words by Orionsangels	Jan 31st, 2008 01:02:58 AM
Reeves: Sure! She's not invisible, it's not a genre film in that sense. It is a kind of Hitchcockian thriller of sorts. It's basically about a woman who's incredibly desperate and she feels like she is invisible. It takes place on Long Island in New York. She's a housewife and a mother and she's got herself in a terribly desperate situation. I've read a lot of cases like this that are real, it's a strange phenomenon of people getting so desperate that they turn to robbing banks. This woman watches the neighborhood kids and goes out and nobody knows that she's robbing banks. I read about one family that robbed banks together, like the two daughters went in and the mother was driving the getaway car. They're people just like you and me, they've just mismanaged their personal situation so badly that they get terribly desperate. So this woman feels very alone and if she tells her husband the situation she's gotten them into financially she's going to lose her family, so it turns into this Hitchcockian thing where someone finds out what they're doing.
Wolfman by Cronenfly	Jan 31st, 2008 01:46:47 AM
Its a fucking shame this is happening. Mark Romanek would sure as shit deliver the bleak atmosphere thats intended to be shown. He is a very visionary filmmaker and is perfectly capable of handling material like this. Now that he has left due to some more studio rape, the film will most likely fall into the hands of some young hotshot director. IF Universal has any fucking brains whatsoever they will give the man what he wants so he can make a fucking picture. As far as Cronenberg, i think that would be a very interesting choice for this material. I just don't think he will want anything to due with a big film like this. He did say that he would return to horror if the project was right. I mean he remade the fly, and it was fantastic, just imagine what he could do with Wolfman. But that is not what i truly want to see, i want to see Mark Romanek's Wolfman!

Oh Jesus...
This reminds me... by DocPazuzu	Jan 31st, 2008 05:02:45 AM
...of one of the funniest things I ever read in talkback four or five years ago. Fettastic was, as usual, getting his ass kicked by multiple talkbackers. At one point he singled an opponent out and said something to the effect of "yeah, you talk the talk here, but what if I showed up on your doorstep in the middle of the night with a bike chain wrapped around my fist? What would you do then, tough guy?" The talkbacker, whose name I've regrettably forgotten, promptly listed EXACTLY what he would do to fettastic if he showed up on his doorstep with a bike chain wrapped around his fist. In essence, it was a long and excruciatingly detailed list of how he would break every bone and rupture every organ in fettastic's body and which implements would be used to achieve this. It was an hysterical essay of focused rage so powerful that even fettastic seemingly blanched at the prospect.

werewolves of london by Napoleon Park	Jan 31st, 2008 05:55:37 AM
I agree, Tarantino, Shyamalon, John Waters and Gerard Damiano should all make werewolf movies. But I just read this to find out if they were going with Jessica Alba for the Invisible Woman or starting a different continuity ala Batman/Justie League. Then it turns out it's just a metaphor, like Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man book. One of Marvel's most iconic and oldest characters and they can't protect the copyright on the name. Shit, let's see someone make a movie called X-Men or Superman or Wonder Woman and claim it's just a fucking metaphor.

Another guy... by DocPazuzu	Jan 31st, 2008 07:04:10 AM
...who likes to physically threaten talkbackers is that left-wing extremist tool, Whananahara7. In addition to talking about how people will be "put to the sword" after the revolution, he enjoys calling talkbackers out and challenging them to physical combat. I always picture him as one of those frothing-at-the-mouth wrestlers who rips his own shirt to shreds while issuing a threat.

How About John Landis? by KingKirby	Jan 31st, 2008 09:55:07 AM
Is he busy with anything these days? He and Rick Baker worked their magic pretty well in "An American Werewolf in London".
I DON'T JUGGFUCKLIN' BELIEVE IT! by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jan 31st, 2008 10:03:53 AM
Did MiraJeff actually call out Lost Jarv?! Class move!
yeah, but it's bollocks by Lost Jarv	Jan 31st, 2008 10:15:47 AM
I'm on the other side of the Atlantic. He should call out someone American.
It's funny Xi by Lost Jarv	Jan 31st, 2008 10:57:07 AM
I don't think I said the rudest thing to him. Anchorite has been much ruder.

MiraJeff picking fights... by buffywrestling	Jan 31st, 2008 11:56:34 AM
is funny to be sure. But is it THE funniest "Black Box Incident" (BBI)? I think Mori writing, "Guys, I am telling you that is NOT Bruce Willis!" in Vern's Live Free or Die "h*rd" TB, then four posts later a picture of WalterB shows up on ichat, had me fucking rolling.p
very true buffy... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:01:01 PM
From time to time I still go in there for a laugh.
fuck it, I'm even gonna challenge 2for2true by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:07:29 PM
I've got a muthafucking red bic pen with your name on it! Bring it!

Dude, are you in CT? I challenge you to become a whole vader, none of this half ass shit.
Hey Mirajeff by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:15:46 PM
what are you planning to do to Jarv? Fall down on purpose in the first round and then roll around in your own vomit?
why don't you just fight all of us Jeffy? by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:17:05 PM
make sure you have a big sloppy joe beforehand
that's a good idea Kloipy.... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:17:56 PM
You can come to CT first, then stop in PA for Kloipy.
I'll even pick you up at the airport... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:18:44 PM
fly into Hartford.
you know what was great? by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:18:48 PM
was that time that Uwe Boll beat the shit out of you in one round and you puked on yourself.
Mirajeff, you west coast bitch by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:20:03 PM
you can't handle the Nor'eastern tag team of terror. When Pillow and I finish with you, you'll look like 2for2true's victims only covered in cream corn puke
I've seen you fight, i know your moves by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:20:36 PM
jab jab, fall down, vomit, cry
You think you are a big tough guy huh? by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:22:35 PM
Call out one of us? Then hide like a little girl. you are done. Nobody will ever want to hear from you again. You are a joke.
just what I thought by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:25:53 PM
MiraJeff gives up before he even starts. Typical Mirajeff
You can't even beat your meat, so how can you beat us? by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:28:03 PM

I like that....jab, jab, fall down, vomit, cry by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:31:03 PM
and repeat.
giving little girls a bad name... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:31:49 PM
C'mon...be like 2for2true and grow a set.
in all seriousness... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:33:45 PM
how could you possible have a black box, first of all, and how can you still retain it? When talkbackers come out and attack Vern, Mori, they don't resort to physically challenging a talkbacker. How fucking childish is that, and clearly you are a little pussy bitch. So why do it? Please tell me you were joking.
if you really want to fight us, set it up by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:36:37 PM
But you wouldn't because you don't want to have your ass handed to you...again
Was MiraJeff the dude who pucked while fighting.... by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 12:36:57 PM
the BOLL?They showed that pucking scene on every German network!......funny!But at least he tried.

Germans love watching you puke
You are famous Jeffy by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:39:39 PM
Uwe Boll's best movie is the one where he beat you up and you puked on yourself
I don't even care if I get banned for this, because it's bullshi by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:40:07 PM
that you call one of us out.
you do understand that we will never forget this right? by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:42:30 PM
every time you post, expect something along the lines of; Hey Mirabarf, you wanna fight me? Wanna puke? Are you ready for that Jeff, that's what's in store for you
attention all TB'ers by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:43:36 PM
if you feel that this is bullshit on Jeffy's part, please come in here and let him know how you feel
it's pathetic more than anything else by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:50:35 PM
I think I'm gonna challenge everyone to a fight at work. MiraJeff has inspired me. Especially that 80 year old lady working in HR...she always looks at me funny. I'm gonna take her out.
I'm gonna fight my newspaper guy too... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:51:39 PM
there are times when he doesn't put the paper in the fucking newspaper box. His shit is over.
Mailman...ass whooping headed his way by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:52:46 PM
I want my fucking mail at my doorstep...hand delivered. I want him waiting for me until I get home from work and hand me my mail. The dirty whore.
Violence is not an option! by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 12:52:54 PM

MiraJeff's Heroic tale by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:54:17 PM
Halfway into Round 2 and I’d been knocked down twice, but like Rocky Balboablumstein, I was back on my feet, at least for a little while. After my rib cage got knocked in a size, I realized I had nothing left to prove, I had given him my best, and I was going down. That’s right, it was a phantom punch, folks. He swung, and I was going down whether he hit or missed. I told my guy to throw in the white towel and he did faster than M.L. Carr. I got out of the ring, stumbled down some stairs, sat down in an empty seat next to two classy older ladies. I was freaking out because I thought I had a concussion, no one was helping me take off the gloves taped to my hands, and I couldn’t breathe with the face protector on. It was like a fuckin’ Saw contraption, I swear to God. The women said something like “why didn’t you hit him. That fight sucked.” I melodramatically huffed out “I’m a writer, not a boxer,” sucking wind between each word. I made it about 30 yards toward the locker room and puked all over the sidewalk. I was dizzy, my ribs felt broken, my legs were like jelly rolls, I could barely breathe, and no one was around. I barfed for about 15 minutes before some paramedics came over and offered me an oxygen mask. There was no ambulance, there never was, that was misreported. I had seen a camera crew videotaping me puking but I never saw a Wired photographer or anything, so I was surprised to see that picture, in a national magazine no less. I went back to the hotel that night and iced my ribs for a couple hours.
I'm going after my electric company too... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:54:27 PM
Tired of these fucking rate hikes. You started the revolution MiraJeff!

Pillow I can't believe you called 2for2true out by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 12:56:25 PM
dude be careful
pillow,when 2for2true stabs your eyes out.... by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 12:59:22 PM

I'm feeling sort of invincible.... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 12:59:42 PM
all thanks to MiraJeff.
travis, 2true doesn't stab eyes by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:00:32 PM
he only stabs mouths. but i did hear that he once killed and entire scout troop with their own merit badges
Jeffy didn't even fight fair, he threw a fight he accepted! by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:01:59 PM
show some fuckin' balls. How dare you challenge us to fight when you couldn't even fight fair?
I'm so fired up right now.... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:02:07 PM
I just took out an auditor who was asking about inventory. I screamed "SHITHEEL"...and then stabbed the auditor 72 times with my yellow highlighter, all the while yelling "you sarbanes oxley whore".
not entirely true Kloipy... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:03:16 PM
he killed the entire troop with ONE badge.
LOL by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:04:17 PM
SHITHEEL! If we do end up fight Jeffy, that's what we have to yell when knock him out
back up to 9th place by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:05:40 PM

Shitheel is the new wolverine... by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:06:34 PM
if they remade Red Dawn...they would be shouting SHITHEEEEEEL.
I'd make him write 'I am a Shitheel' in his vomit by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:07:44 PM
after we beat him
I just photocopied my bosses bloody face by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:08:32 PM
after I beat the shit out of him to just prove a point. I wrote the words "Don't be a Shitheel", and threw it up on the corporate website.
I think MiraJeff started trainig after he was..... by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 01:09:23 PM

I was in the wrong Wolf-Man TB by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 31st, 2008 01:19:47 PM
I was loitering in the Universal TB. Thanks for paging me, Kloips. During my lateral transfer, I was challenged by mirajeff. But I didn't have to do anything, because he suddenly regurgitated on himself and fell over.
Kloipy, no, he'd swallow it by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 31st, 2008 01:22:47 PM
he should go home and pour ketchup on his chin, then glue a broken-off pencil to his jaw, because that's what it's going to look like for the rest of his time on earth.
no prob Abom by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:22:58 PM
just glad you could make it. We do this for Jarv!
mirajeff would really show some balls if he came in here by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:24:46 PM
but he's probably throwing up right now

Why did Mira called Jarv out?The shit was flying... by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 01:27:08 PM

he gives windylickers a bad name by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:29:41 PM
That gives me another idea. I'm gonna fuck up some retarded kid after work. And then I'll write about it on the web.
I once saw mirajeff by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 31st, 2008 01:34:49 PM
challenge a bunch of third-graders walking home from school one day. Within two minutes he was on the ground getting teabag by the lot of them. Funny part about it was, he was smiling.
MiraJeff should take that shit back! by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 01:35:02 PM
Really!
I very much doubt he will travis by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:41:38 PM
Cause that's not the way he rolls...it's more like flailing.
Looks like he`s been hated before..... by travis-dane	Jan 31st, 2008 01:44:55 PM
and now delivered the final blow to himself.
I want a full page apology by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 01:46:20 PM

I'll speak with his mother about it tonight by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 31st, 2008 01:53:12 PM
I'm sure she'll be disappointed in him when I relay the goings-on. And then I'll take her from behind, the way she likes it, the way her son takes children.
shit, guess I'll send her over your house then Abom by just pillow talk	Jan 31st, 2008 01:56:30 PM
She's going to be a bit sore due to the multiple donkey punches.
his mom will make him clean up the vomit by Kloipy	Jan 31st, 2008 02:03:55 PM

LOL pillow, right! by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 31st, 2008 02:05:16 PM

I'm a hooligan, and I don't know his mother any more than I know him. So I should not 'go there.' At least not until I've performed the bear technique.
