I'll be curious to see what "Tarsem" (yeah, that bugs me, too) does with his own script, and not someone else's that even he admits was shitty (The Cell). He definitely makes pretty pictures, even if they are "borrowed." The plot description for this sounds like a more optimistic Pan's Labyrinth type of thing, which I would definitely like. And is it me, or is Lee Pace trying to play every type of role under the sun (the jaded crippled stuntman in this, the hearthrob in Miss Pettigrew lives for a day, the crazy/evil brother in Possession, and of course, the shy, introverted romantic in Pushing Daisies). Plus, wasn't he nominated for a Golden Globe for playing a transsexual woman a couple of years ago? This guy may be going places very quickly.

this movie looks beautiful. I will watch it if I have the time. By the way, I actually watched The Cell in theater... I was a teenager looking to kill a few hours. In a way, it was a pretty film, but still very disturbing and stupid all at once.

Thinking about it, I don't think what I said made much sense. I'm sure Apocalypse Now or Star Wars went over schedule. In the case of this film the fact that it has been around for over a year makes me think it isn't bad enough to put straight to dvd, and not good/appealing enough to release properly yet.

Tarsem is ingrained into peoples minds because he's the guy that created that dog turd called The Cell.

Screw tarsem and the white horse he rode in on passed the burning tree and the fella with a turban..!

I didn't know House of 1000 Corpses and Once Upon a Time in Mexico were delayed, guess I have some reading to do. You know sometimes reading about how a trouble production became troubled is more entertaining than the film itself, Alien 3 for instance. "Why the hell do we have sets but no script?!!"

by Han Cholo
Mar 29th, 2008
04:47:51 PM
He was absolutely the best thing in that movie. The way he played that demon guy was one of the best performances I'd seen and made me a big fan of his. I could have done without J-Lo, as she added nothing to the film and quite frankly was miscast in role that should have been given to someone who could carry the film in that role. Vince Vaughn was just there collecting a paycheck too. Yeah the film is really flawed but Tarsem is a visual master. Maybe not from a story standpoint but definitely has talent when it comes to awesome shots and cinematography. Hopefully this film will be a better effort.

In my opinion, David Fincher is in the elusive top 10 directors in the world, so I don't think he'd support this movie if it was anything remotely like CELL. The same goes for Spike Jonze. Great poster, by the way.

Is this move whizzing over the heads of the moviegoing public.

Not my cuppa, but it's because the trailer looked like an absinthe soaked fever dream sprinkled with heroin withdrawal hallucinations.

Oh, and guys wearing military jackets with no shirts is kind of fruity, and a throwback to the 80s. So, this flick won't do great business in theaters. Ebert blowing his load over this isn't shocking. Where's the Augusta Sun Gazette's movie reporter's quote...I bet it reads like this: "What? Wha...Oh...I get it...it's like Neverending Story...Ok..Whew. No one's gonna go see this...and if I tell people to, they better have open minds or I'm out of a fucking job."

Pass. I'll pass until DVD. Just like Southland Tales and Cremaster IV. Interesting stuff, but what the fuck, man? Guys with a single named moniker are annoying.

And before you guys start beating me about the head and neck with your fucking semantics, this is my 'net handle, not my fucking name that appears on my checks, credit card, and fucking w-2's ya shitcracker. Love and kisses,

Tepi d, mephitic 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'? That's what no-talent critic Ebert has over me? I've written a novel, am currently co-creating a unique IP with a guy who works with WETA, and, I was a DJ for five years.

No simple basement dwelling gramma's boy am I! Five years, ironically, was the same amount of time Old Ebert couldn't see his weiner for when he was a fat load. But I'm a guy who says that Ebert isn't the world's greatest judge of popular cinema. Without Siskel, he's a puffed up dude who's admittedly got a hot ass wife. I'm just saying that Ebert liking a thing, and Joe Sixpack guys like myself liking a thing like 'The Fall' are often DIFFERENT.

You don't have to take my opinion, but it's clear you paid attention to it, and for narcissistic douchebags like myself, that's all I ask. Thank you Sequitir!

Co-creating a unique IP? Is that what you tell the Baristas at Starbucks? You and your fellow loser are trying to write a sitcom and have about as much chance of getting anyone to care (let alone allow you to pitch it) as Harry does of ever seeing his nutsack again without a mirror.

No critique can say they added anything to cinema. Ebert is no different, especially with Valley of the Dolls on his resume. I quote Ego: "The average piece of junk has more merit than [the] criticism designating it so."

However Ebert has shown some legit geek cred in some of the movies he's given positive reviews to (and therefore elevated into the public eye). Plus, I like him.

Some terrible directors have made great movies. However! (You knew that was coming, though, right?) It makes me a little bit nervous that David Fincher and Spike Jonze occupy that eye catching spot at the top.

Sequiter's disrespectful comment is precisely the result your opinion of The Cell's "fans" provokes...and it illustrates exactly why that eview is jarringly inappropriate for this site.

That review would fit right in (and I shudder as I type this, because it pains me greatly to say it) on Michael Medved's website. And I know damn well that Mori is about as far from Medved as a critic can get. But there it is.

This post shows signs that maybe Mori has re-thought the broad moral posturing of the misguided earlier review. Lets hope so, because one bull-headed statement deserves another...and that's why we have Sequiter ladies and gentlemen...

MC Escher like scene in the trailer? Hopefully Price Tarsem doesn't hide the fact that his wants to film crazy visuals and makes this all a lame story being told. Just like how all the cool stuff in the cell didn't take place it was just in the killers mind. Price Tarsem just fucking take us to your messed up place and make a story there. If there is the back and forth all the time like in The Cell its going to suck. Also come up with better names for your movies for real. THE cell, THE fall, and your next flick THE unforgettable. Seriously thats the name of his next film. After that he is just going to make THE _____.

Also if you cannot think of a good story besides (Its in someones mind) to use your crazy kick ass visual style. Why not team up with some other director who can? Image Spike Jones or Michel Gondry working with Price Tarsem? That are why don't you just go beg Charlie Kaufman for his next script. I hope this is good.
