THIS WAS THE WAR AND PEACE OF AICN STORIES by leobloom	Mar 25th, 2008 01:28:31 AM
Get thee to an editor.
Indy 4 is Spielberg's film ... not Lucas' by heks	Mar 25th, 2008 02:15:09 AM
Music to my ears ... sounds like a John Williams score for anyone wondering.
hold on, by Stevie Grant	Mar 25th, 2008 02:17:20 AM
this movie has been mentioned before, I believe. And it just gets shit on every time in the TB's, if I recall correctly. Hell, any article with "Shia" becomes a TB warzone. Just to preemptively declare sides... that guy bothers me. I can't give any reason for it... but I seem to instinctively dislike him. It's completely irrational; yet, I can't help it. I wish I didn't because Hollywood has sure taken a liking to that guy. Oh well.
So SPielberg is single handedly bankrolling Labeoufs career? by IndustryKiller!	Mar 25th, 2008 02:47:37 AM
Man whatever that kid did right, he better keep doing it.
Quint what's this aspect we don't know about yet? by IndustryKiller!	Mar 25th, 2008 02:51:08 AM
Seriously man you can't drop that and then give us nothing. Cause I gotta say right now it's lookin' a little formulaic and since Spielberg also produced and masterminded the horrible Transformers his name isn't getting it anywhere. Is it the kind of thing that would ruin the movie? Is it a plot twist? You made it sound like it something we might want to know about. So let's hear it.
IndustryKiller! by Quint	Mar 25th, 2008 03:12:06 AM
Sorry to be a cocktease, but this is the kind of thing that will be a great surprise if they can keep it secret until release. I don't know how they built the film around it, but I do know they only let me know this secret because I happened to stumble upon it on my second day visiting. I don't know if they'll be able to keep it secret until release, but I won't be the one to spoil it. It's the kinda thing I wish I didn't know going in, so I won't be the one ruin the surprise.
Fair enough by IndustryKiller!	Mar 25th, 2008 03:17:32 AM
That's all I wanted to know. The way it was worded it seemed as if it may have been something basic to the plot that just hadn't been talked about yet. but if it's a twist of some sort I suppose it probably wouldn't be worth not getting invited back to a Spielberg set again just to reveal it. Suppose I'd rather not know anyway, been too long since a big reveal made me love or hate a movie while I was watching it. Wait, nevermind, I just watched Oldboy for the first time the other night. Holy fuck did that reveal knock me on my ass.
It's kinda obvious... by milla jovovich	Mar 25th, 2008 03:19:33 AM
That Shia's character is either really guilty, or Monohan's is really guilty, or one is kinda really guilty.
SPIELBERG VS LUCAS by THE KNIGHT	Mar 25th, 2008 03:34:08 AM
Who owns our very souls!???
Quint who plays the uber bad guy? by Mezzanine	Mar 25th, 2008 04:27:47 AM
Michael Bay? Harrison Ford? Benjamin Linus? Shane Vandrell? Fuck man, give us something!! This movie sounds cool by the way. Thanks for the report Quint!
Quint you just grossed Rosario Dawson out by DOGSOUP	Mar 25th, 2008 05:27:48 AM
She's Geek. She'll read this story. Then she'll read "Unfortunately my talents weren’t utilized by either Ms. Dawson or Ms. Monaghan.." in reference to yourself as a vibrator. She'll never be your friend now.
DJ Caruso, Spike Jonze and McG by random dude	Mar 25th, 2008 05:29:34 AM
Are they all from the same trashcan?
No Hero in Y: The Last Man? by mediocrates	Mar 25th, 2008 05:32:08 AM
"Well, we're trying to film Hamlet, but I really think we can cut this "Hamlet's Mother" character." Yeah, they'd better rewrite.
by the way	Mar 25th, 2008 07:37:47 AM
random dude! how do you fit Spike Jonze w/ the other two?
Y last man should really be a series... by lex romero	Mar 25th, 2008 08:18:44 AM
..but i'll settle for a trilogy, as long as it's not one film that they have to try and cram it all into. THough i'm not sure if there is really enough natural endings a third into the series, they might have to restructure it a lot. Also, nothing to do with any shia hate, but i don't think he's right for Yorick, i always imagined him to be a little older, mid20s. Shia seems too boyish.
LET THE SHIA HATE BEGIN! BSB I'M WAITING! by messi	Mar 25th, 2008 09:04:43 AM
Either way the kid was great in A Guide to recognizing your saints.
Yorrick always seemed early 20's by messi	Mar 25th, 2008 09:08:23 AM
He was always more Boy than man, I think LeBeouf is pretty good for the role, better than the other choice Topher Grace.
Tid-bits by Pandas-R-Us	Mar 25th, 2008 09:18:29 AM
Americanisms don't bother me as much as they do some Brits, I have no problem with the fact that spellings are different over there, all languages change over time after all. However, there is just something about "Tidbits" (or even "Tid-bits" that just makes me shudder. It's like nails on a blackboard. The word is "TITbit" for fuck's sake. Yeah, yeah, I looked it up and in the US both are apparently acceptable but still... Anyway, I apologise for the outburst. As you were.
Michelle Monaghan = by Christopher3	Mar 25th, 2008 09:19:16 AM
Liv Tyler + Michelle Trachtenberg.
And yeah... by Pandas-R-Us	Mar 25th, 2008 09:20:20 AM
I left out the closing ")". Ummm... that's acceptable in British English. cough
hahaha by zom-bot.com	Mar 25th, 2008 09:23:58 AM
"it’s a quiet moment between Michelle Monaghan and Shia LaBeouf. They were about to get a shot off" hahaha
Shia has a pact with demons from hell............ by Ghost of Nixon	Mar 25th, 2008 10:09:13 AM
He sacrifices a virgin lamb before every casting session, that or he gives good dirty sanchez'es and BJ's, because Spielburger sure likes the buggery little twat HA!
A coversation with the Beef by Ghost of Nixon	Mar 25th, 2008 10:18:38 AM
Satan: BEEF, have you done thine bidding? BEEF: Yes, master. Satan: You harassed ALL the Walgreens employees at store 5598? BEEF: Yes. They all know now how pathetic and pitiful their putrid lives are. I have yelled at them obscene language and said I make more jacking off than they will in their lifetime. Minimum wage FTW. BOTH LAUGH Satan: Good. Destroying souls is what Michael Bay wants. Bay, Spielberg, and Luca$ feed off of the souls of the poor and needing, those poor bastards. But Bay runs "the machine", the device that harvests this soul juice. Walgreen employees make the finest of soul juice....muwahahahahahahaha!!! 1111eleven ONE3 BEEF: Tell Bay he'll get his souls. I'm going to kick over disabled Grandmas now, that will give them some juice. Rubs hands together while mumbling "...suffering, SWEET suffering" then drools
hahaha ghost by SpazmoCalrissian	Mar 25th, 2008 11:13:19 AM
i like shia though...don't really understand the hate for him
Long live The Beef by Rocklover79	Mar 25th, 2008 11:13:22 AM
I honestly don't get all of the venom being spewed at him. Seems like a decent kid to me.
Overexposed Photos Think This Guy is Overexposed by Aquatarkusman	Mar 25th, 2008 11:58:56 AM

All the nerdbags on here secretly just want to make out with you.
Set Vist = Good Review on AICN by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 25th, 2008 12:55:01 PM
Who wants to put money on it that this film gets a shit load of good press on AICN thanks to this little set visit? That seems to be the way it goes around here. Sure Quint might say he doesnt feel right doing a write-up, so he will hand it over to Big Red to do the dirty deed. I swear-- that bastard Moriarty is the only decent one on here now. He needs his own site.
LeBEEF as Yorick? by Shigeru	Mar 25th, 2008 01:53:38 PM
Why don't you just light my mom on fire
Shigeru by Quin the Eskimo	Mar 25th, 2008 02:12:24 PM
that made me laugh!
I like Lebeof but.... by drewlicious	Mar 25th, 2008 04:32:00 PM
I'd still rather see someone else play Yorrick. I don't care what anyone else says but Topher Grace would be terrific in my book. Also if he wasn't already playing a similar character I think Zachary Levi would have been pretty good too. But then again Lebeouf would be able to mature and age pretty well over the course of three movies and the whole story takes over five years. Can't imagine the ending will be the same, has an epilogue ever worked? Has age makeup ever worked that well on an actor in his 20's? I have bad memories of Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands.
I signed up for an account... by chawkie	Mar 25th, 2008 05:30:49 PM
Just so I could say how fucking shitty this is that this hack is going to direct Y The Last Man. As soon as I heard it I knew that him and his boyfriend Shia would be ruining what is one of the greatest graphic novels of the past few years. I wish they would cram it in to one movie so that I wouldn't have to keep being reminded for three years of how assfucked we all got by this douchebag...
If FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS doesn't make it ... by rightarm4Rosario	Mar 25th, 2008 06:21:21 PM
and if the "BEEF" somehow falls through, how about Zach Gilford (aka "Matt Saracen") for Yorick. I thought of a few others - Adam Brody, Taylor Kitsch ("Riggins" from FNL), Joseph Gordon-Levitt, hell - even Joshua Jackson might have an interesting take ... but if it were me I think I'd give Gilford a shot. I guess for any major film (especially one with a good chunk of SFX) to be greenlit there has to be an actor with a proven track-record (read: box office track record) on board. I imagine casting most of the guys I mentioned would be much cheaper, allowing them to use the extra $$$ on other casting choices, etc. Then again, who knows - Maybe Shia and DJ will bring "Journeyman"-level quality to the big screen. Kevin Mckidd, where are you now?
dear god please not shia... by loquaciousmuse	Mar 25th, 2008 08:22:07 PM
...as yorick. if anyone is listening up there, just cast anyone OTHER than shia. shia is just wrong for it. zach levi would be perfect or even someone completely unknown in a starmaking turn. PLEASE AT LEAST HAVE AUDITIONS AHH. and i like shia just fine. for the record. but for y: the last man? noooo
Chawkie . . . by swordsmasteryen	Mar 25th, 2008 08:37:59 PM
I too have been inspired to sign up just to say I couldn't agree more. It never ceases to amaze me when they let these jackasses butcher great comics . . . it's like letting Zack Snyder make 'Watchmen' on the basis of '300.' If some guy directed a profitable adaptation of some John Clancy bullshit would they let him direct Shakespeare on that basis, after all, they're both books and all. They might as well let Ratner or Wiseman handle it . . . we live in a sad era when these retards pass as autuers. Let Roland Emmerich do a 'Preacher' movie for chrissakes.
Never forget! Shia has spoken ill of us Talkbackers! by thebearovingian	Mar 25th, 2008 09:31:26 PM
How does he still walk? Why can he still speak? How can he still find work?
Yorick by Han Ol' Buddy	Mar 25th, 2008 11:17:26 PM
I think the dude that's playing Chekov in the new Star Trek would make a good Yorick. I recently watched DIsturbia and, other than a pale remake of Rear WIndow, Shia was only so-so in it. ALthough he seems like he has the "quipiness" that Yorick has. Oh well, we'll see.
In respect to Ms. Wuliger by Arghh	Mar 26th, 2008 07:13:53 AM
In response to Deb Wuliger's comments on the new Indiana Jones movie, I was kind of upset at them, because some of her words were innappropriate and misinformed, she said "It is Spielberg's film and not Mr. Lucas'" Ms. Wuliger... I don't know if she is aware, but George Lucas came up with the idea of Indiana Jones, and he's written the story for each one of the four installments, including the one that's going to be released in May, as a matter of fact he came up with the idea for the fourth one. Can't they hire people who know more about the films of the people they are representing (steam coming out of my ears)? sorry, but reading that made me upset... maybe because I've been a Lucas fanboy for so long.
Hey Arghh by heks	Mar 26th, 2008 10:45:21 AM
While it's true that Lucas came up with the character of Indy and with the story idea for each film, including this one, he has not written the scripts for any of them, or directed any of them. If I recall correctly, he only spent 9 days on the set of this film. Overall, his influence on the dialog, performances and look of the film will be significantly less than it was on the prequel trilogy, for example, and I think that's all that anybody really cares about. I think Lucas has always been a good idea person, but his sense of natural dialog and his ability to get performances out of his actors that are less wooden than a log cabin ... well ... I think the prequels showed those areas are not his forte. At least not anymore. Lucas is now constantly going around trying to dull down anticipation for the movie, saying "It's just a movie", and saying the fans will never be happy, no matter what you give them. I'm sorry, but that's a load of crap. He's saying that based on fan reaction to the prequels. What he can't seem to get through his head is that if they had been even close to as well done as the originals, fans would have eaten them up. Episode III had moments that lived up to the originals (or came close), which is why I actually like it, or most of it. But Episodes I & II were utter crap. They felt like filler to get to Episode III. I think the prequels should have taken us beyond the events of Episode III ... or at least handled those events a bit differently.
And another catchphrase is born by palimpsest	Mar 26th, 2008 02:13:43 PM
"It was around this time that I grabbed some hot chocolate at craft service and bumped right into yet another familiar face" - hell, I'm a hot chocolate buying motherfucker and that never happens to me. By the way, the secret of Shia's success is that he's holding Spielberg's good kidney hostage. Fact.
Shia is no Yorick! by Zardoz	Apr 4th, 2008 08:42:33 PM
He's all wrong for the part. This will totally suck. I can't imagine it being any good as a two hour movie or even a trilogy. It needs to be a mini-series or an ongoing series, maybe on F/X or HBO or Showtime. Who's going to be 355? Gabrielle Union? Sorry, but it's going to suck...
