I don't really like Luc, but Liam is the man, so I can't turn it down.
about this by Gungan Slayer	Feb 17th, 2008 05:47:35 PM
I'm going to watch this, just because I love everyone who is involved with this project, and I enjoy what all of them put out...still...I felt that the trailer was a bit lame...but afterall it is just a trailer...

Has this movie been picked up for a US release? by FreeKill	Feb 17th, 2008 05:58:20 PM
Has this movie been picked up for a North American Release? I did some quick searching and there didn't seem to be any indication of anything outside a French Release later this month...
"Sleeting a young girl's throat..." by Bobo_Vision	Feb 17th, 2008 06:09:26 PM
"...is like sleeting warm buh-ter" Commando is one of the funniest movies ever made.

Thanks for the review. It looks interesting.
Great review! by theBigE	Feb 17th, 2008 06:16:23 PM
That's written in better English than most American HS kids could ever write! Trailer looked awesome.
Commando comparison by RetroActive	Feb 17th, 2008 06:35:19 PM
I'll only buy it if someone says, "Fahk Yew!" like Ah-nold did when he was captured in the beginning. That was classic Schwarzy in his hey-day! Who else could screw up Fuck You like our boy, Ah-nold?!

God, that was cheesy. I can't imagine there will be much similarity between Taken and Commando. But good review, Chandlyr
Bobo_Vision, I have some words for you.... by classyfredblassy	Feb 17th, 2008 07:39:30 PM

Shu up talking about Arnie movies you pricks. by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 08:56:35 PM
THIS IS SERIOUS YOU WANKERS!! THIS IS ABOUT KIDNAPPING!!! Something that needs to be treated with a bit more realism than 'oh well this is an EASY problem to solve, 'cos we got this non everyday unrealistic indestructible killing machine to save the day' so the real life ongoing tragedy that is kidnapping/slave trading that is happening right now to people who we love - is not gonna be a problem that you'd pay that much more attention to. I can do better Arnie impressions that you crappy losers anyway. So there!

FUXAKE PEOPLE, SHUT UP ABOUT ARNIE LINES!!! by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 10:17:06 PM
Talk about the movie here - OR GET OUT!!!!! haven't you got better things to say in the Taken thread - like the film Taken, itself? Bunch of boring geeky spotty wankers. I mean, don't you wanna discuss that even though Neeson is like so indestructible in this film, he rescues his daughter but only to sacrifice to himself as he dies later on from a an artery wound later on? I mean, don't you think that it raises questions about the form of vigalantisms and letting authority seek justice instead? What is the right thing to do? To think that the people who I know who worked on the film (graphic designers) were telling me about how the story had so many of the producers arguing about it's ethics, and that you mindless prats can only talk about Arnie lines instead, well it just SICKENS ME!!!!!! IT FUCKEN SICKENS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cpt Kirks 2pay by Philo	Feb 17th, 2008 10:30:47 PM
Jeez dude, lighten the fuck up. Ethical arguments? Get a life. I can only say that if someone hurt/kidnapped/messed with my family then they would be fucking with their heartbeat and that goes for pretty much every red blooded father out there... Unfortunately there is a huge gap between what the authorities can do and what is required (at times). Get out into the real world (the one I live in anyway) and you might just see that. Sometimes the only "ethical" solution is to do the right thing regardless of the concequences.
Philo by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 10:35:21 PM
So, you'd kill? Is that what you're saying? What if the consequences of that action outweigh the rewards of that action itself? I mean, here we are talking about stuff like Commando which is all about a form of vigalantisms and cold blooded murder by Arnie and here you guys are all cheering for it with your quotes, ignoring Taken's similarities of the same kind of action and thinkings, but when you do pay attention to it, you seem to be 'applauding' Neeson's take on it. I wonder about the minds in this thread. You lot need to go into a corner sometimes and rethink your life.
"You've killed people?" by Bobo_Vision	Feb 17th, 2008 10:38:54 PM
"Yeah, but they were all bad."
Bobo_Vision by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 10:42:20 PM
Excuse me, Moronperson. Read my above post. Dick.

File a grievance with Harry. Tell him that the talkbackers are off topic and you're having a hissy fit.
Bobo Vision by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 10:51:18 PM
No thanks. I fight my own battles, not run off to an Admin like a girly coward, like many others that I know. For the record, I wanna know what a mindless pratperson like yourself thinks about vigilantisms and the consequences of embracing violence, seeing as you so childishly mocked me with your Arnie line, which wasn't even good. If you really say that you'd kill people and that them being bad is an excuse for it, well put your money where your mouth is, and tell me why this is so? See? You can't? 'Cos you're a stupidperson.
As are everyone else in this thread. by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 10:52:31 PM
Stupid persons all of you. 'Get a life'. Don't tell me to get a life - you guys should get a life. Talking about taking one like it's no big deal. STUPID PERSONS!!!!!!!!!
Okay, Cpt Kirks 2pay by Bobo_Vision	Feb 17th, 2008 10:55:14 PM
I'm gonna stop posting now, but not because you asked me to, but because you're really creeping me out, and I can tell you're not right in the head.
Liam Neeson, doing "Commando"? by Theta	Feb 17th, 2008 11:01:04 PM
I think I just came.
Bobo Vision by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 11:01:30 PM
Well if you don't wanna post here, why not click at the top of the AICN page where it says 'Zone' where you can take all your mindless drivel and then start posting in THE ZONE FORUM instead where all the other stupid persons like yourself are, and you can join them, and let some intelligence come into this place as a result. In fact, all you boring stupid people who can't discuss film or serious issues seriously, why don't you ALL log into the Zone? There you can talk shit about shit as long as you want! Then I can have an intelligent conversation with people here at last! STUPID PERSONS!!!!!
Theta by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Feb 17th, 2008 11:03:04 PM
And you, you stupid person, you can go back to the Zone too. Take some of these nincompoops with you while you're their. How dare you? How dare you mock my intelligent conversations? How dare you?

There is something strange about you. I realize this talk back has strayed a little from the movie, but the Arnie one liners have me in stitches. I'm excited to see the movie too. Liam Neeson was great in Seraphim Falls. The Western he did last year with Pearce Brosnan. Good work.

Arnie by Samson_K	Feb 18th, 2008 10:27:58 AM
My friend and I used to try to work out what would be the best film for Arnie to remake - and by best I mean worst! Third place 'The Court Jester' - it would be a work of unparalleled horror seeing Arnie bringing his own take to the 'Flagon with the Dragon' sequence! 'Some Like it Hot' with Stallone and Madonna - 'I am nawt a laydeeee' But we came to the conclusion that - Arnold Shwarzenegger and Rob Schneider would be irresistable as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Throat Rip - the Legend of the Baskerville Hound'. The trailer would end with a shot of Hallmess punching the dog and saying 'I'll give you paws for thought' Happy days! He'd be shit in that too!

Just wanted to say thanks for the laugh. I was cracking up at your posts. The "got alot of nerve showing your face around here" line started it and the Total Recall lines kept it going. And to Capt Kirk: If you wanted kidnapping to be taken seriously, then you probably shouldn't be on a talkback where the movie in question was directed by the guy that did DISTRICT B13!

Any British/ European TB'ers by Lost Jarv	Feb 19th, 2008 03:10:14 AM
If you hate (as you should) AvP:R then this is important: That useless fucking shitrag Empire has viciously slandered us. Some cunt called Chris Hewitt has written: "Directors The Brothers Strause – Colin and Greg – apparently got the gig, their first, because they’re such huge Alien and Predator fanboys. AVP:R would indicate that they’re fanboys of the Ain't It Cool talkback variety, guileless goons crowbarring in lame references (the hero is called Dallas; someone actually says ‘Get to the chopper!’) while emphasising splatter and swearing over the suspenseful slow burn."For the full review go to http://tinyurl.com/2gg66d but I'd rather you didn't give the cunts the hits. If anyone remembers the recent AvP:R wars and the slaughtering we gave the foilage that turned out for it then please air your displeasure at the useless no-quality-control cockmonkeys via email. In fact, fuck it, anybody who thinks this is wrong- do it, let them know. But be certain to check the AICN history of AvP:R from Mori's initial slaughter of the script to vern's review and our eventual savaging of the plant life. Lying, dirty cocksuckers.
