Nolan Bautista, you're my hero for today by SpencerTrilby	Mar 24th, 2008 10:22:18 AM
"firsts" are so 1999.
And by "1999", I mean by SpencerTrilby	Mar 24th, 2008 10:27:14 AM
"gay", but calling someone "gay" is so Kevin Smith... And by Kevin Smith, I mean "former comedian turned over-the-hill, self-important douche". Anyway, great interview as (almost) always, Capone. Schwimmer seems to be nice, and I've heard many good things about his flick. Where I live the movie tanked but Pegg ain't exactly a star, and the posters and trailers were off the mark. Too bad how lousy marketing can kill a film; I'm gonna check it tomorrow night anyways.
Because then it would be Run, Deadboy, Run... by tonagan	Mar 24th, 2008 10:38:33 AM

Schwimmer and Pegg by phillipisking	Mar 24th, 2008 10:44:48 AM
I rented 'The Big Nothing' last week. Did they meet on that film? Anyways, the first half of it was great.

Please tell me you don't really need tonagan's post explained to you.

Wow I saw it like a year ago.... It's fun.

Amazing!
why is america getting this so late? by misnomer	Mar 24th, 2008 11:39:48 AM
I saw this months and months ago- surprisingly good.
nor is it a sequel by tough_times	Mar 24th, 2008 11:40:15 AM
What were they thinking?
ironic_name by slone13	Mar 24th, 2008 11:41:48 AM
I'm too tired. On an entirely related note, I just opened my mailbox and along with my Time Warner cable bill was a screener copy of Run, Fatboy, Run. Suddenly, my evening has a a greater purpose. Though JAWS is playing at the Ziegfeld tonight, too. Decisions, decisions...
I've heard the black and white version is better... by tonagan	Mar 24th, 2008 11:48:10 AM
That's right, I'm a dink.
Run Fatboy Run by MacTard420	Mar 24th, 2008 11:48:45 AM
I saw it already. It is a pretty cute little rom-com. Pegg is wonderful...guys and girls will both enjoy it I think. Nice interview! Schwimmer seems like a nice guy.
The Big Nothing Had Amazing Potential... by The Chalk Outline	Mar 24th, 2008 12:02:44 PM
...for like the first 15 minutes. I was hoping the film would have been more about Simon and David working in the call centre (the title was applicable, after all) and the few scenes they did there were hilarious. I've worked in various call centres for the past 4 years now and they really need to do a film about life there. As for the rest of The Big Nothing, it was ok, but got incredibly weird as fuck near the end. Good chemistry between David and Simon though.
This movie was a real disappointment by Rocklover79	Mar 24th, 2008 12:02:47 PM
I went into this expecting to love it simply due to Pegg's great track record, and while it isn't a total turd, it was a disappointing film. Incredibly predictable and formulaic, and on top of that, Pegg's Dennis isn't particularly likable. It's hard for me to root for a guy who ran like a little bitch from his pregnant fiancee on their wedding day, is a pretty shit father to his kid, and only decides to win his ex back AFTER he sees her with someone else. Yawn.
Also, If Anyone Knows Of A Good Call Centre Film... by The Chalk Outline	Mar 24th, 2008 12:04:12 PM
...let me know. I've seen bits and pieces of stuff in films before, but I'd love to see an entire film, or at least the majority of a film, based in or around one.
Schwimmer by Embeedeuce	Mar 24th, 2008 12:50:51 PM
I always thought Schwimmer was the most all-around talent to come out of Friends. 20 years from now, he'll be the only one w/ a career (not that it matters with the $ they made). He's the one that engineered the $1 million / per ep deal. And he took the opportunity to become a director; always smart. His film Duane Hopwood was surprisingly good and well executed. And when you see him in interviews, he's the only one that doesn't seem like their Friends character; like he might have actually "acted."
This is not worth paying for by Aloy	Mar 24th, 2008 01:08:44 PM
A great cast is wasted on a cliched ,been there, done it storyline with Pegg as a not very sympathetic loser. Blame the script (and Schwimmer for not trying harder when he really should have known better). Anyone who says this is really funny or cute is a plant.
Pegg's Zone by JohnSpartan	Mar 24th, 2008 01:11:37 PM
Needless sarcasm ahead: Simon Pegg's first movie without Edgar Wright and Nick Frost? Oh, right. I forgot how Wright directed Mission: Impossible 3, which of course featured the inspired casting of Nick Frost as a completely reimagined Ethan Hunt. Come to think of it, that might have been a better movie.... end needless snarkcasm
the chalk outline by Philo	Mar 24th, 2008 01:15:42 PM
A good call centre film is the boiler room. Not 100% about call centres but more about shady share dealing from - you guessed it - tele sales outfits. Giovanni Ribisi was fantastic in it as were (surprisingly) Vin Diesel and Ben Afleck! Yup, shocked the crap out of me too!
The Boiler Room by The Chalk Outline	Mar 24th, 2008 01:46:15 PM
Oh yeah, I watched that film years ago. I had totally forgot about it and can't remember much aside from Ribisi. I'll have to re-watch it.
this film is sooooooooooooo old... by billyhitchcock	Mar 24th, 2008 01:48:27 PM
...and is just ok, not great.
Embeedeuce by The Chalk Outline	Mar 24th, 2008 01:51:32 PM
LeBlanc and Kudrow don't appear anything like their Friends characters in interviews or other projects either. Aniston and Cox do though. They're by far the worst. Perry obviously does as well, but that guy is just too damn awesome to hate anyway. He can just play himself in anything and it's great, well, his "performance" at least. Chandler was by far the best Friend and the most "real" character.
JAWS! by ironic_name	Mar 24th, 2008 02:48:29 PM

Yeah, I'm going with JAWS by slone13	Mar 24th, 2008 02:51:55 PM

Damn this movies been on torrent for almost two months by Orionsangels	Mar 24th, 2008 03:03:06 PM
Feels weird to see it released in American theaters
I have seen this film by Chopper3	Mar 24th, 2008 03:08:52 PM
and believe it to be of poor quality.
Sorry, but.... by BetaRayBill07	Mar 24th, 2008 03:09:01 PM

With this cast... by StarskyandHushky	Mar 24th, 2008 03:51:17 PM
..this movie should have been a lot funnier. Overall, it is disticntly 'meh'. It's also available in every supermarket on DVD over here.
Did Schwimmer's dad by skimn	Mar 24th, 2008 04:01:22 PM
finally add more cashews to the raisins???
this film is cack by Cedar_Room	Mar 24th, 2008 04:54:30 PM
some funny moments, mostly thanks to Pegg, but gets dull and predictable towards the end.
Schwimmer... by Ender's Jeesh	Mar 24th, 2008 05:19:05 PM
... was a total prick on the movie I worked on in AC a few years ago, AD's telling everyone, "Please don't talk to Mr. Schwimmer, please don't ask for Mr. Schwimmer's autograph, please do not look at Mr. Schwimmer." Yeah, because EVERY name actor I've ever worked with I just slobber over. Just ask Stallone.
SCHWIMMER DONNA!!!!! by BilboRing	Mar 24th, 2008 05:24:38 PM
EVERYBODY JUST SCHWIMMER!!!!!
JohnSpartan by MovieWhore	Mar 24th, 2008 05:40:38 PM
actually if you read the fucking article it says this is the first movie without Nick Frost and Edgar Wrigth in which he had a STARRING ROLE .. as in not a bit part ... I get tired of douches who come on here just to talk shit .. which is about 90%
"How did the screening go?" by Napoleon Park	Mar 24th, 2008 06:36:12 PM
"The theater was gorgeous." LOL That sounds encouraging.
Best movie with a friends cast member by Napoleon Park	Mar 24th, 2008 06:46:29 PM
"The Opposite Of Sex" with Lisa Kudrow. No joke, it's a great movie and she's great in it. In a key supporting role, so it's not just a star vehicle like all those "Let's just put the Greek girl with the big nose in a rom-com movie that winds up on Oxygen" movies. Admitted Kudrow wasn't the shows big breakout star and her own sit-com vehicle based on the high concept "former TV star tries for comeback" was a bit too clever for her own good. But "The Opposite of Sex" was wicked awesome. By the way, considering that the name of the show was "Friends", did you ever get the impression that Phoebe never really liked any of them?
Best movie with a friends cast member by The Chalk Outline	Mar 24th, 2008 07:10:27 PM
I'll do best movie for each of them... Aniston = Office Space Cox = Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Kudrow = Wonderland Schwimmer = Big Nothing Perry = The Whole Nine Yards LeBlanc = Charlie's Angels Strangely enough, Aniston, the worst of the bunch, was clearly in the best movie.
THIOS MOVIE SUCKED AND IT CAME OUT LAST YEAR by blakes7	Mar 24th, 2008 08:06:55 PM
Why is AICN covering this movie? Because Simon Pegg is in it? Let me ruin the movie for you. Simon Pegg is a "fatass" who decides to compete in a marathon against his ex-fiancee's new fiancee in order to try and win back his old fiancee who he left at the altar (pregnant). Simon Pegg goes from not being able to walk down the street to being able to walk 26 miles on a busted ankle with NO training. He literally wakes up the day of the race, late of course, and rolls out of bed and tries to run 26 miles, busts his ankle and walks the rest of the race. Sure, there is the obligatory "let's get in shape montage" but that is short lived as Pegg's character gives up early on. The End.
Run Pegg Run!!! by IAmMrMonkey!	Mar 24th, 2008 08:19:15 PM
Run away from movies that make you go "Meh". Like this one.
This movie was dreadfully mediocre by topaz4206	Mar 24th, 2008 08:35:46 PM
I love Pegg, but this film will REALLY make you appreciate the talent of his cohort, Mr. Edgar Wright. You, Mr. Schwimmer, are no Edgar Wright. Thandie Newton has got to be one of the most unattractive "leading ladies" in all of Hollywood. Fortunately, I was introduced to India De Beaufort, a walking goddess. That is all.
Schwimmer is brilliant by schwimfan85	Mar 24th, 2008 09:37:07 PM
I love his work on "The Friends." With UPRISING he showed that not only is he a Jewish man, but also a strong Jewish man and he did a fine job of sending those Nazi bastards to hell. I thought he was brilliant in DWAYNE HOPWOOD. He showed his versatility as an actor, using every explosive exhale to its full extent. I plan on seeing RUN, FATASS as soon as it hits my theater. I am certain that Schwimmer has brought out Mr. Edgar Wright's best performance to date as the titular character, Fatass. I wish them well in whatever future endeavors they embark on together. Also, I thought they were a fine duo in BIG NOTHING. I think they played a gay couple in Oregon, except it was obviously shot in British Colombia. As a lifelong Oregon resident, I was very angry. So fuck that movie. Continue to dazzle me with your directing prowess, Schwimmer. And please give us DWAYNE HOPWOOD 2. I want to see if he will relapse.
First by First.	Mar 24th, 2008 10:44:27 PM
Am I first? Dang looks like I just missed it. That was brilliant. Looking forward to more.

By the way, Nolan Bautista by thebearovingian	Mar 24th, 2008 11:17:00 PM
The trend has/had been started long ago but we appreciate your membership in the club. You still typed the word "first" in the first post so I'd say you still kinda "FIRST" posted. You need to leave out any reference to that practice and leave a story-related comment. Don't get me wrong, I like where your head's at!

That wasn't my mother. That was one of my whores. And according to her, that was your first time. From her lips to my fuckin' ears. So, if you start experiencing a cloudy discharge, I recommend you go see the town doc.
Chalk Outline by Embeedeuce	Mar 24th, 2008 11:20:39 PM
All good points. I know I'm really splitting hairs about the six Friends. Perry was great on his West Wing stint. Courtney Cox might have the longest resume of any of them. LeBlanc sadly morphed into a caricature which may be more the writing than his acting. Kudrow is great, but she came out of Groundlings (I think) and was always doing sketch/ character work. Schwimmer is the one I really think is now doing something different and daring with his position and career.
LeBlanc needs to play an alcoholic by caruso_stalker217	Mar 24th, 2008 11:26:53 PM
And not the glamorous Hollywood alcoholic. I'm talking the blackout drunk who goes home and beats his wife, then passes out in the gutter and shits his pants. He wakes up in the morning to find a dog pissing in his face. He shrugs it off and says, "Wednesdays." The Oscar is calling for Mr. LeBlanc.

Azaria by heyscot	Mar 24th, 2008 11:30:58 PM
It just feels like Azaria always plays the people you root against, which is weird because Azaria is a good guy. He's not typecast as the guy you root against. I wish I could see him in a good dramatic role where he wasn't playing some nudge-nudge wink wink asshole. I like him as an actor but I haven't seen a good role for him yet. Help me out here. . .anyone see Azaria in a decent role that wasn't a complete cariacature? Not slamming him at all, I just would love to see him in a role that allowed him to stretch, because the guy's obviously great.
AL SWEARGEN by BringingSexyBack	Mar 24th, 2008 11:33:03 PM
Did you just F5 this fuckin' talkback for 12 hours and 1 minute just for me? I say this with seriousness and no irony: GET A FUCKIN LIFE.
Thandie Newton by heyscot	Mar 24th, 2008 11:33:13 PM
I fucking HATED Crash. I feel like the only person on the fucking planet who hated the contrived piece of shit that was "Crash." And I watched "Mission: Impossible: 2" and laughed my ass off at the Americanized melodrama that is John Woo and Tom Cruise. Thandie Newton is hot, but what a lame movie. I'll watch this movie (if it gets decent reviews) on DVD.
heyscot, you should check out Azaria in UPRISING by caruso_stalker217	Mar 24th, 2008 11:33:26 PM
It's a good dramatic role and he gets to shoot Nazis.
Hot Fuzz by heyscot	Mar 24th, 2008 11:33:50 PM
Jesus God, the editing in that movie was painful. I must be the only person on the planet to find that movie pretty unfunny.
Caruson_stalker217: by heyscot	Mar 24th, 2008 11:34:28 PM
Thanks a lot, I will DEFINITELY check it out! I feel like the guy is hugely talented but hasn't really been given a shot in a good role yet.
And you ain't the only one who hated CRASH by caruso_stalker217	Mar 24th, 2008 11:34:44 PM
Fuck that fucking piece of SHIT.

You know who fucks fat whores? Fat virgin cocksuckers.
OKAY AL ... by BringingSexyBack	Mar 24th, 2008 11:41:51 PM
I think you've been humored enough. Sad enough you refreshed this talkback for 12 hours straight just to say some lame shit to me, as I must've hurt your feelings sometime in 2006 because I don't even know you ... I don't think I wanna get too mixed up with you loonboy. Therefore ... Fat whore fucking virgin cocksucker ... out!
Ah Bringing by Al Swearengen	Mar 25th, 2008 12:03:58 AM
And you think your lame fuckin' mother joke was a worthy reply to my flame bait? How many times have you been knocked on your ass for that kind of limp noodle rejoinder? Just let me know when you want to fuck another one of my whores. The one that plucked your cherry is on the house. But the next time will fuckin' cost ya.
AL SWEARENGEN by Stevie Grant	Mar 25th, 2008 12:51:11 AM
I briefly considered going for your moniker, then realized that's a hair's breadth from blasphemy. Given your given name, sir, you have to be Billy Badass personified, and are required to use "cocksucker" at least 5 times a TB. I am but a lowly man, and am not up the the task... but wish you the best.
Thandie Newton by Rocklover79	Mar 25th, 2008 07:26:00 AM

I fucking hate rom com's by rants-raves-and-reviews.blogspot .com	Mar 25th, 2008 08:55:21 AM
but this one was surprisingly good. There are some genuinely funny moments. The fat ass Indian was good and his hot ass daughter needed a bigger role though.
moviewhore by JohnSpartan	Mar 25th, 2008 11:27:30 AM
Mea culpa, dude. You're absolutely right. I thought I was being all clever, but I screwed it up. Oh well. But damn, man, calm down. It's just a frickin' talkback. Seriously. It's not worth getting worked up about. Take care.
