Too Bad Spike Jonze Was Busy by Anton_Sirius	Jun 9th, 1999 06:57:54 PM
Oh those bitchy ex-video directors. Meeee-ow! I agree that Bay does get a far worse rap than he really deserves, although Armageddon is an awful lot of bad film karma to lug around. The Rock, well, y'know... aw jeez, you're gonna make me say it, aren't you? Fine (sigh)- The Rock rocked. Even Bad Boys amused the hell out of me; it's the only movie Martin Lawrence has been in where I didn't want to rip his windpipe out of his throat with my teeth. That has to count for something, right? Plus it captured Will Smith at a time when he was capable of parodying his image, rather than being enslaved to it. So, really, Bay is two for three. If he sticks to action films and avoids the big effects-heavy spectaculars he's fine. But man, did Armageddon suck.

HANNIBAL Deserves To Be Condemned (Hell, So Does Bay!) by mrbeaks	Jun 9th, 1999 07:26:15 PM
I'm halfway through it, and I simply refuse to believe that this is the work of the same Thomas Harris who wrote RED DRAGON and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (not to mention the nifty BLACK SUNDAY.) This is perhaps the most depressing tome I've waded through since Hardy's JUDE THE OBSCURE. I never expected Harris to pull a Crichton, but life is often full of such depressing surprises. I've kept myself ignorant of all reviews, but Moriarty's remark in the above "article" has me thinking that I'm not the only one so letdown by this hack job of a sequel. Does Harris even enjoy writing anymore?
Hasty judgments by Cthulu	Jun 9th, 1999 09:44:01 PM
You guys are throwing darts at the wrong board. The guy who really deserves all the credit/blame for Bad Boys, The Rock and Armageddon is Jerry Bruckheimer.
Ok...let's throw darts at Bruckheimer... by Dead Kid	Jun 9th, 1999 10:12:26 PM
...and then throw one big-ass meteor at Bay.

It Was A JOKE!!! by Moriarty	Jun 10th, 1999 12:39:57 AM
Hey, guys... Why is it that people seem to never understand sarcasm or a joke when it's written in print? Michael Bay is in MYSTERY MEN. You think Kinka put him in because he hates the guy? When he said that about Bay, he had a big smile on his face. Joke. Humor. J. O. K. E., 'kay? Maybe once you see MYSTERY MEN and how damn funny it is, you'll realize that this guy's got a sense of humor. Believe me... this wasn't the opening salvo of a war, so don't turn the TALK BACK into one. "Moriarty" out.
Just Plain Cool by drevil	Jun 10th, 1999 03:08:18 AM
When I saw the preview for "Mystery Men" at "Star War" a few weeks ago it, well the preview just looked cool, but do they have any preview showings anywhere? Just curious. This may sound stupid but I seemed to really enjoy the cinematography in that brief few minutes. Well take care now, I have a world to hold at ransom here ya know.
Hey Moriarty: Scripts! by Irish Dave	Jun 10th, 1999 04:16:35 AM
You said in this post that you can get a draft of any script in town. Can you please tell me if I can get a copy of th X-Men movie script off the web? Any sites with other possible future scripts? Cheers, D.
It's always war... by Uncle Cracky	Jun 10th, 1999 06:13:36 AM
...down here at the Talkback! You can't start what you didn't begin... or something. Every carbon-based lifeform for his/her/itself! Anyone found bipedal in five wears his ass for a hat! Yeeeeeehaaaaa!!!
Aw man! by GodBear	Jun 10th, 1999 08:09:56 AM
This was totally not what I had in mind when I saw the title "Mystery Men Scoring Session." Heh heh.
Cast of the Year by Dathcha	Jun 10th, 1999 10:09:05 AM
Firstly, Mindy Marin should be president of the universe. Such taste, such variety... Secondly, Jeanane Garafolo should be CFO fo the Leigon of Humor. I'm certain she will unfold like the wonderful flower she is in this role. Thirdly, Kel Mitchell is a simply GENIUS casting decision. Hello kiddies, line up 1-2-3!!! Lastly, lets all join hands and pray that Universal does not fuck this up like so many other things (although they are on a roll, lets hope they can keep it up). Sooner release date = sooner I can see this puppy, so thanks. I kind of like that Smashmouth song... video whets my thirst... Off to see Austin Powers.
Moriarty, the only reason you get all these scripts and screenin by paragonian	Jun 10th, 1999 03:40:40 PM
So don't think they're doing this out of the kindness of their hearts or cause they want to make a production deal, they only see you as a big dollar sign. Just be careful and don't let your ego or greed destroy your credibility cause it's a slippery slope to losing your soul and becoming Bruckheimer's bitch, just ask Michael.
Yea for Michael Bay!!!! by Fred4sure	Jun 10th, 1999 06:11:45 PM
He's never tried to make art movies. Michael Bay makes comic book movies--and damn fine ones. All style and no substance. Sometimes that's all we want. Don't curse him for being something he's not trying to be.
