Moriarty Chats His Way Out Of Reviewing THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM!

so when are we going to see that speed racer review mori? by ampersand110	Apr 18th, 2008 04:09:58 AM
thought i read that you were going to see it sometime this week.
and have you seen kung fu panda ?? by ampersand110	Apr 18th, 2008 04:12:36 AM
or is all that just from what you've heard from various people
Kung Fu Panda looks awesome by Rindain	Apr 18th, 2008 04:14:41 AM
Best Dreamworks yet, by far.
Is that the sky high kid? by red_weed	Apr 18th, 2008 04:33:52 AM
Sky high was great, but not really because of that kid. In fact i watched snow angels just the other day, and loved it, but i don't even remember that kid being in it at all... hmm. Anyway YAY KUNG FU PANDA and YAY SPEED RACER and, zombie strippers? I saw the trailer... uhhhh...
Enjoyed that... by Boba Fat	Apr 18th, 2008 04:51:11 AM
it was like eavesdropping. Now if we can get some secret webcams set up my AICN Voyeur experience will be complete...and maybe if you both wore fishnet tights?
I don't know if Moriarty is arrogant or charming... by Womb2dooM	Apr 18th, 2008 05:14:44 AM
But he's cable of passing a grin across my chin so I think I'll let him continue to write for this site. It will please me.
It's got Monkeys and Racecars--of COURSE Speed Racer's gonna be by TomBodet	Apr 18th, 2008 05:19:40 AM
That's what This Jackie Chan flick prob. needed, too-
"-FUN-" by TomBodet	Apr 18th, 2008 05:20:38 AM
missed that word.
Fuck Jackie Chan!! by MaxTheSilent	Apr 18th, 2008 05:50:32 AM
I grew up watching him in his prime. Even met him a few times. But if he can't discern utter shit like this, RUSH SHOUR 3 and THE TUXEDO then I have no use for him. To redeem himself he needs to do either DRUNKEN MASTER 3, or SHANGHAI DAWN.

Nice chat, but is it good or not? by DerLanghaarige	Apr 18th, 2008 06:27:17 AM
Seriously.
With Quint on Kung Fu Panda. by Kurutteru Yatsu	Apr 18th, 2008 06:29:17 AM
Everything I've seen-- posters, trailers, images-- does nothing for me. It looks like another CGI movie with talking animals. At best it'll be a download when I'm bored.
Best. Review. Ever. by Zarles	Apr 18th, 2008 07:22:15 AM
This should be a monthly feature, only next time, Mori and Quint should start cybersexing with each other at the end. Awesome.
Man by Series7	Apr 18th, 2008 07:24:39 AM
It must be hard out here for a writer. I always forget which overseaers have jobs and which ones are writers.
Oh and by Series7	Apr 18th, 2008 07:25:51 AM
Kung Fu Panda looks like crap. And no one can answer which came first. The Kung Fu Panda of the Kung Fu Skunk?
Also by Series7	Apr 18th, 2008 07:28:02 AM
I love reading a post where its dropped that someones seen another more anticipated movie. And then that review never materializes.
More self indulgent crap from Mori by Lenny8	Apr 18th, 2008 07:39:13 AM
Next week: what McWeeny ordered at that diner at 4 am, and here's why.
BTW, this is also how he and Swan write scripts by Lenny8	Apr 18th, 2008 07:43:10 AM
Just sayin.
Kung Fu Panda? by gengrievous82	Apr 18th, 2008 08:02:12 AM
I know a trailer shouldn't speak for a movie. I realized that after seeing Pearl Harbor. However, I can't ignore certain exceptions. The very first Wall-E teaser was charming. The character's appeal really came through just in that tiny teaser. Then the trailers came out and I fell in love with the character. I saw the Forbidden Kingdom trailer. While it didn't knock me out of my socks, it looked interesting. When I went to see Spiderwick Chronicles in the IMAX, they showed the trailer for Kung Fu Panda. After throwing up in my mouth when I saw all the blatant voice casting advertising I realized that this was supposed to be a comedy. The only funny thing about the trailer was that no one in the theater was laughing. Every single joke fell flat and none of the characters were appealing. At least the Forbidden Kingdom trailer made me smirk.
With Mori on Kung Fu Panda ... Will Be HUGE by cowboyone	Apr 18th, 2008 08:08:23 AM
... and how can Quint have NOT seen the trailer yet?! WTF?
Alternate Colors on Quint and Mori by cowboyone	Apr 18th, 2008 08:10:21 AM
It would help flow and legibility. AICN would REALLY benefit from some simple design help (and spell check).
What the fuck was that? by Robots In Das Guys	Apr 18th, 2008 08:21:41 AM
Mori, instead of posting that ''One thing I jerk off to today'' shite, how about we get to see some REAL reviews? An IM converation? Tell us why this movie sucks. On another note, since this is an IM article after all: Where's the part where you and Quint masturbate on cam?
BTW, FUCK YOU PANDA looks like shite by Robots In Das Guys	Apr 18th, 2008 08:24:38 AM
Wich means I will probably have to see it, and will like it. yawn
"THIS FILM FAILS! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!" -- We may have our newest m by JasonPratt	Apr 18th, 2008 08:35:16 AM
Best non-review I've ever read, btw! {g} Sincerely, good job Mor.
by the way	Apr 18th, 2008 09:10:59 AM
instead of wasting your "insider" powers on this shit, why doesn't the Justice League of Movie Geeks infiltrate warner bros or legendary pictures & convince those evil lords to release JONZE'S "Where the Wild Things Are"
Stop mentioning Kung Fu Panda while discussing Forbidden Kingdom by GibsonUSA	Apr 18th, 2008 09:43:26 AM
WTF, its not even out yet and uts a CG cartoon. That convo was highly "punchable"
Heh, this was fun by waggy	Apr 18th, 2008 09:53:40 AM
"I want to punch him. WIth my car. Not literally. But literally." Looks like Mori's got a little Neil Cumpston in him afterall.
Moriarty's review...er chat. by Sithtastic	Apr 18th, 2008 10:00:21 AM
What a disappointment. I was looking forward to The Forbidden Kingdom, but given this exchange I realize I can save my money.
Mori hated a movie?!! NO WAY!! by Mike_D	Apr 18th, 2008 10:02:32 AM
ends sarcasm
So how much by Series7	Apr 18th, 2008 10:08:15 AM
Money is dreamworks giving AICN to play up Kung Fu Panda? Even though Wall-e is going to be so much better? Brought to you by Carls Jr.
There's no way Kung Fu Panda > Wall-E by GibsonUSA	Apr 18th, 2008 10:29:47 AM
And "Mori" sounded like an assclown in that chat/review. And assclowns I do not trust.
"HIPSTERS WILL HATE IT" by ABking	Apr 18th, 2008 10:31:28 AM
Like AB has always said, this film will be the BOMB of May! I hope the brothers will make a better film next and ditch JOEL SILVER! Drew, not only the hipsters, but 95% of people who see it!
aww, fuck by Trik_Ster	Apr 18th, 2008 11:09:13 AM
I'm still hoping for a good movie. The characters and stories are just about as old as mankind, I was hoping they made a good transition to the screen
Mori, I think you've also seen him in a little movie... by Lenny Nero	Apr 18th, 2008 11:13:04 AM
...by the name of "Almost Famous."
And "Lords of Dogtown." by Lenny Nero	Apr 18th, 2008 11:15:06 AM
Just saying.
Kung Fu Panda by Toonol	Apr 18th, 2008 12:08:35 PM
I'm dreading it. I'll have to see it (kids) but it looks terrible. Forbidden Kingdom looks like it might be dumb fun. I'm not sure. The first trailer made it look terrible, the second looked much more promising. I mainly just want to see the assassin chick that uses her long silver hair as a weapon.
Mori will always have at least ONE fan... by Borgnine JR	Apr 18th, 2008 12:16:15 PM
....himself. Lately he's been reminding me of Richard Roeper, at least in tone.
You left out the part... by Felix_Happer	Apr 18th, 2008 01:07:37 PM
where you ask each other "so what are you wearing?.
For Mori's next review by Trik_Ster	Apr 18th, 2008 01:23:23 PM
he'll post a pic of his belly button lint
Glad someone else wants to punch that guy in the face! by captboulder	Apr 18th, 2008 01:49:48 PM
Having a token white kid for Forbidden Kingdom was not needed and really takes me out of wanting to see it!
captboulder by Trik_Ster	Apr 18th, 2008 03:30:35 PM
yah, these aren't anglo myths and we really have no place there fuck fuck fuck Please let this not suck
Hipsters??? by BartholomewNeff	Apr 18th, 2008 06:35:33 PM
What the heck is a hipster? Splain pleeeezzzz!
This movie=EPIC FAIL by Rocklover79	Apr 19th, 2008 12:47:13 AM
You have two lengendary martial artists in the same film, and build the film around some token white kid that the audience doesn't know or even mildly like. You give the audience a muddled, boring, and utterly predictable storyline. You provide the viewers with some decent action, but nothing that they haven't seen before in any other movie involving martial arts wirework. Sounds like an epic fail to me. Epic fucking fail.
Seriously by Rocklover79	Apr 19th, 2008 12:51:42 AM
We screened this thing for free at my school on Wednesday(NC STATE GO WOLFPACK!), and I have never seen that many Asian kids in our movie theater before. Place was packed, and when THEY leave the theater pissed off, grumbling about how some whitey bogarted the movie away from what they came to see, you've got a problem.
Thanks for info, Rocklover79! by captboulder	Apr 19th, 2008 05:55:45 PM
Nuff said!
It failed all the way to #1 at the BO by zillabeast	Apr 20th, 2008 10:22:45 PM
A travesty. Only in America, I tell you.
