Capone wants to be a SON OF RAMBOW, too!

What Capone really wants is a time machine by Franklin T Marmoset	May 10th, 2008 08:43:53 AM
Come on, buddy, we're interested in Indiana Jones these days. Indiana Jones!

My knee-jerk sarcasm got the best of me.
I just feel sad by telemarketer	May 10th, 2008 08:49:33 AM
When I saw this film I was struck with a painful recollection of myself as a young lad, running about with a camera filming my best friend as he performed many impressive stunts and repeated to the camera the words of his current filmic hero. Just kidding! I am totally unable to relate to this film and have no point of reference with which to draw myslef into the projected reality. Therefore, I think this movie sucks as it is not in the slightest way designed for an idiot like me to enjoy?
I just feel sad, very sad by telemarketer	May 10th, 2008 08:53:55 AM
I can still recall that most artificial of tastes as I licked the little red suction dealie on the end of my pitifully plastic Rambo themed toy bow'n'arrow set. I was too young to even realise that the film was about a mentally scarred war veteran. I just though he, and by extension me, was the coolest, toughest thing in the world. Then I killed that Sheriff and realised that there's a fine line between what's cool in movie land an what's cool on the streets of suburbia. A very fine line indeed.
really good movie by Jarek	May 10th, 2008 10:07:56 AM

I can't wait to see it.
Yeah right - pile of shit by Miguel De Barioz	May 10th, 2008 02:05:45 PM
I just get to see this movie on DVD. kind of shit they shouldn't be allowed to make. I see why they changed the title: Stallone would sue their skinny bristish asses man! I like sequels but if you are going to do a sequel they should at least make it a bit like the previous films. Like I said: shit man!

This movie represents all that you can make when you are obsessed with Wes Anderson films. Its a cute a film, and that is what ultimately saves it, but Jesus, come on....take Wes's dick out of your mouth.
The MPAA must be rolling in it's grave. by bioforge	May 10th, 2008 11:40:56 PM
Looking forward to this flick a lot.
Personally... by Sledge Hammer	May 11th, 2008 05:07:42 AM
...I thought it was an overly saccharin piece of disney-esque paint by numbers mediocrity. Just because it namechecks a great film, that doesn't make it a great film itself, although the filmmakers seemed to think that was the case. I'd say that this one is only going to truly impress those people who hailed Be Kind, Rewind was cinematic brilliance. This isn't a great film, hell, I wouldn't even say it's a good film. No, it's a "nice" film. A safe film. A film that relies heavily on the baggage the viewer brings with them in order to have any real impact whatsoever. If you go see it I doubt many will hate it, the kids are okay and it's way too inoffensive to really irritate, instead it'll simply be one of those films that most people instantly forget as soon as it's over. That was my take anyway.
No, the MPAA is ... by Shan	May 11th, 2008 05:08:17 AM
... like a zombie that keeps coming after you no matter how many times you try to kill it.
I totally loved this movie... by Crimson King	May 11th, 2008 12:00:57 PM
And not because it "namechecks" First Blood. I totally agree with Capone on this one. Sure, it's a sweet little story about two friends and their shared passion for making their movie, but it's really funny and it really captures that love of films and filmmaking that, presumably, we all share. I don't think anyone's hailing this as the ultimate cinematic masterpiece or anything like that. It's just a very fun, very enjoyable feel-good movie that oozes 80's nostalgia and a love for movies.
Yep... you are really fucking dead inside. by LordEnigma	May 11th, 2008 12:40:39 PM
Fuck you, Capone. Mr. Enemy of the GEEK State.
Am I imagining it or... by Sithtastic	May 11th, 2008 10:38:41 PM
Does no one like the idea this shows that the creative process can really be like a bunch of kids competing for club status? That doesn't strike me as overly sentimental, but given the relationship between the characters I suppose this might be lost on far too many viewers.
Go see Son Of Rambow. by jonny_rico	May 12th, 2008 08:19:32 AM
I've never written in here before, but I came across the Son Of Rambo thread & felt compelled to write in with my support of the film which I adored when I saw it a month or so ago. It did remind me of the sense of innocence and adventure that you get with a Stand By Me kind of film, and I did feel pangs of nostalgia throughout of getting together with my friends after watching Evil Dead 2 for the first time & feeling invincible infront of the video camera - so maybe I'm the prime audience, but I thought it was fantastic & would urge anyone in need of checking out a different sort of feel good film. My girlfriend also loved this & she didn't grow up around film cameras & fake squibs.. J.R.
