Our First Review Of Rob Marshall's NINE Comes Slinking In!

Fergie was kinda hot in Grindhouse by iamnicksaicnsn	Nov 16th, 2009 12:19:51 PM

Compared to the zombies? by MetalMickey	Nov 16th, 2009 12:22:03 PM

I'm pretty hyped for this film to be honest... by TheWaqman	Nov 16th, 2009 12:22:11 PM
and it's nice to hear that DDL can sing as well. I had no doubts about his performance other than his singing, but I guess he can do that too!!
Fergie's got a hot bod...she's the perfect butterface by TheWaqman	Nov 16th, 2009 12:22:44 PM

I'm not gay and I am genuinely excited for this. by scudd	Nov 16th, 2009 12:24:59 PM
Daniel Day-Lewis will get my ass in the seat anyway, but this just looks amazing.
And and Fellini turnsslowly in his grave, by cookylamoo	Nov 16th, 2009 12:25:43 PM

I'll see it for DDL by starmand	Nov 16th, 2009 12:26:03 PM
There's no other actor who will consistently get my ass in a seat for every film he makes.
All I'm saying is that Make-Up can calm even the most by iamnicksaicnsn	Nov 16th, 2009 12:27:08 PM
savaged beast.
Day-Lewis can make anything watchable... by HarryCalder	Nov 16th, 2009 12:27:36 PM
...so I guess I'll have to see this. The Broadway production was kind of forgettable, but whatever...
PLANT!!!! by brassai2003	Nov 16th, 2009 12:27:40 PM
ha. if only this post were that exciting! zzzzzzzzzz......
IMHO Daniel Day Lewis is better than Brando by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Nov 16th, 2009 12:33:47 PM
I mean, I love my Stanley but DDL in TWBB was more unhinged than DDL in GONY!!!!
Damn I feel dirty now, who knew abbreviations made one ill??? by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Nov 16th, 2009 12:36:39 PM
IMHO AICN DDL is an ET.
yeah exactly, brassai by CherryValance	Nov 16th, 2009 12:38:50 PM
I'll go see it but I'm not hopeful. Hated Chicago. And since that review is suspect (too glowy sorry) it does nothing for me. btw, what the hell is MASKHEAD? I'm all over the oscar race websites and I've never heard of it.
"Maskhead"? by The Reluctant Austinite	Nov 16th, 2009 12:39:01 PM
Methinks Beaks pulled a funny.
Any other songs from the play cut? by Bungion Boy	Nov 16th, 2009 12:48:51 PM
I'm such a fan of this play. Seeing the revival in New York a few years ago blew me away. One of my biggest fears when I heard about the film adaptation and the notion of new songs being added, was the fear that some of the already excellent songs would be cut. I really hope this film works.
Pirates of the Carribbean 4: by AnUsulDarkley	Nov 16th, 2009 01:19:10 PM
The Quest for more Pocket Booty.
Leona Lewis sings Avatar's end credit song... by kwisatzhaderach	Nov 16th, 2009 01:20:02 PM

Seriously. Just watch Fellini's "8 1/2" by fiester	Nov 16th, 2009 01:39:08 PM
See the best, not the tepid remake/homage.
Fergie pee pants or by bobbofatz	Nov 16th, 2009 01:45:21 PM
the Brit royal?
The Weinsteins definitely have my money this Oscar season. by flickchick85	Nov 16th, 2009 01:52:00 PM
Especially after Shutter Island got pushed back, this and the Road are the only two movies of the season that I'm REALLY excited about. Sorry Avatar. Invictus will probably be good, but Clint's movies never really excite me even though I can appreciate that they're well-made. And it's hard to look forward to Precious knowing how gut-wrenching it will be to watch, even if it is a great film.
I f-ing hate it when by MisterManReturns	Nov 16th, 2009 01:54:04 PM
People refer to all actors by their first names. Are you buds with "Daniel" and "Judi"??? So damn white trashy.
Rob Marshall is a crap director. by HelveticaConspiracy	Nov 16th, 2009 01:56:11 PM
He ruined Chicago and Geisha. And, the last sort of musical I want to watch is one about an arrogant, tortured Italian filmmaker and his many dumb women. Count me out.
"Be Italian," "Cinema Italiano," and "Take it All" are online: by flickchick85	Nov 16th, 2009 01:57:34 PM
Audio only, that is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =s39UmA56kpo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =IMIt8dhh4pg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =3Scm2dlDg-g I love "Be Italian" and "Take It All" but "Cinema Italiano" sounds like it's from a completely different musical. Hudson sings it well, though.
Daniel Day-Lewis is easily the best actor living today! by Orionsangels	Nov 16th, 2009 02:14:10 PM

kwisatzhaderach nooooooo by CharyouTree	Nov 16th, 2009 02:26:11 PM
I had to check to see for sure then. Fucking hell, thats a bit shit.
Didn't "Nine" come out months ago? by HB_Dad	Nov 16th, 2009 02:26:29 PM
It was a Tim Burton movie, no?
HB_Dad by Thrillhouse77	Nov 16th, 2009 02:31:00 PM
No. It was a Shane Acker movie.
GAY TEST by animas	Nov 16th, 2009 02:41:39 PM
if you even watch this movie regardless of its quality, you are gay.
Nicole Kidman's last card for her career revival? by ominus	Nov 16th, 2009 02:43:01 PM
maybe.i am sorry for her,that she managed to destroy her career so quickly because of her vanity.
So in the year 2009 by Jack_Mort	Nov 16th, 2009 02:50:13 PM
We are given 9, Nine, and District nine. Okay.
HOW MANY NINE MOVIES DO WE NEED? by lockesbrokenleg	Nov 16th, 2009 02:59:26 PM
Kidman's career died out a long time ago.
Yeah what the fuck is MASKHEAD? by Series7	Nov 16th, 2009 03:03:51 PM
Sounds like some torture porn movie.
So, for all those who have watched Fellini's 8 1/2... by AsimovLives	Nov 16th, 2009 03:11:18 PM
... there's nothing to see here, right?
8 1/2 was great.... by TheWaqman	Nov 16th, 2009 03:36:06 PM
but I'm not really against this film at all.
This review made no mention... by MooseMalloy	Nov 16th, 2009 04:08:26 PM
... of the Fellini movie it is based on. Shame on a Broadway douchebag! Shame! Also, does Barbara Steele's character make an appearance?
shogun_gunslinger by DennisMM	Nov 16th, 2009 04:16:11 PM
Either you can't read or you're making teh funny. If the latter, you've failed. Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, not wassername from Black Eyed Peas.
MaskHead is shit by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 04:27:20 PM
didn't we learn this is Moriarty's buddy(or some shit)? This is suspect.
shogun_gunslinger: APOLOGIES TO YOU by DennisMM	Nov 16th, 2009 04:30:33 PM
The review says Sarah Ferguson, the IMDB says Stacy Ferguson. The latter made sense, but I was hoping for the former.
the review makes as much sense as the horrible trailer by HaterofCrap	Nov 16th, 2009 04:34:45 PM
this looks like another fuckin pretentious froofy actor showcase. and the women are past their prime. stop the sexy act I don't buy it.
Maskhead IS torture porn by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 04:41:13 PM
if i remember correctly the plot is: A porn casting couch turns snuff film. Sounds "great".
Movie title abbreviations in TalkBack by Skraggo	Nov 16th, 2009 04:48:04 PM
Seriously. If you're too lazy to type out the name of a movie, just save whatever thought you think you have until such time as you can muster the energy to actually express yourself in real words. You know what I DON'T have time for? I don't have time to read your post if I'm going to be required to play Boggle in the middle of it or cross reference IMDb just to decode what the fuck you're talking about. "TTO:ASO sure is a great SK movie. Also, I think I want to watch SS's CMIYC again after reading the book. I watched LTROI again the other night and was blown away all over again." Fuck! Terrible.
I love 8 1/2, but this stage musical was also fantastic. by flickchick85	Nov 16th, 2009 05:05:30 PM
There's definitely still "something to see here."
Save for a few exceptions, i can't stand musicals by AsimovLives	Nov 16th, 2009 05:15:37 PM
But i loved Cabaret.
past their prime? by TheWaqman	Nov 16th, 2009 05:23:50 PM
Ummm I would still bone the likes of Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz any day.
Thank you Skraggo by Ronald Raygun	Nov 16th, 2009 05:24:44 PM
Glad to know there are others on the internet that aren't lazy, semi-literate, text message pseudo-typing shitheads. Although, I do believe you meant to say "...or cross reference Internet Movie Database just to decode what the fuck you're talking about."
HA! Touché, Ronald Raygun! by Skraggo	Nov 16th, 2009 05:29:02 PM
Well played, sir.

be damn awkward by Spaz_Monkey	Nov 16th, 2009 06:56:39 PM
taking your kid to see a sci-fi animated film, and getting this instead.
81/2 and All That Jazz by swanstep	Nov 16th, 2009 07:03:48 PM
This may be worth seeing, but the stage-show was so-so, and the odds that the film Nine's better than either 81/2 or All That Jazz are pretty slender. Btw, a pure plant wouldn't have slammed Kidman like that... so I trust this review at least to some extent.
Day Lewis may be a great actor, but . . . by gruntybear	Nov 16th, 2009 07:09:23 PM
. . . his talents were wasted in "There Will Be Blood" on a rudderless script that lacked a convincing conclusion. Yes, I said it. Let the gnashings of geek-teeth and the rending of geek-garments commence.
gruntybear by Skraggo	Nov 16th, 2009 07:15:18 PM
My geek-garments remain unrent, and my geek-teeth ungnashed. I'm with you. That particular emperor has no clothes.
Does wanting to see all these hot chicks sing and dance by cylon_conspiracy	Nov 16th, 2009 07:53:45 PM
make me gay? I want to see this too, but I don't want anyone to think that. Are you still gay if you like music?
9 or Nine by Pixeldriver	Nov 16th, 2009 08:38:47 PM
Can't wait for some dumb parent to get the wrong DVD for their kid!
gruntybear by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 08:56:35 PM
Lewis barely held that snoozefest together. I don't care how many times people tell me Anderson is good. I'm not drinking that kool-aid.
and the score was distracting as fuck by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 09:09:24 PM
I don't care if it's Radiohead! I don't like that flavor of kool-aid either. Pretentious director and bad.
Rob Marshall is doing Pirates? by lockesbrokenleg	Nov 16th, 2009 09:23:40 PM
Shit.
What flavor do I like by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 09:24:45 PM
Josh Brolin/Jimmy Hayward/Mastadon. Yup Jonah Hex. Haven't even tasted that flavor yet and I know it will be better than There will be Watered down Lemon-Lime. I imagine it will taste like Rock-a-Dile Red or Megan Fox's pussy juice. One of the two. Kool-Aid, Ijust gave you a new flavor so put that check in the mail.
Unnecessary correction by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 09:27:05 PM
Pretentious director and BAND not BAD. Although both work.
AsimovLives, what about Little Shop of Horrors? by MurderMostFowl	Nov 16th, 2009 09:45:12 PM
Little shop is my all-time favorite. Jesus Christ Super Star, and Fiddler on the Roof are good as well. Sound of Music, Music Man, and The King , I adore as well, but mostly for the nostalgia I suppose. Damn I bet a lot of these would look freaking amazing in BluRay. Sound of Music was shot on 65mm even.
i dont care aout 9 by 1st and only	Nov 16th, 2009 10:02:38 PM
i always get confused between rob and neil marshall. At first i thought, 'wow, the director of the descent is doing POTC?!' sweet! But alas no, its the other one again.
Wow, "Sarah" Ferguson will be really surprised... by AnnoyYou	Nov 16th, 2009 10:58:27 PM
...that she's playing a prostitute in this film, considering she used to be British royalty and all. Try STACY Ferguson, guy. I guess complimenting all the women in a skeevy manner is much more important than getting Ferguson's and Loren's names right.
However, TWBB was still > NCfOM by criticalbliss	Nov 16th, 2009 11:13:23 PM
There, I said it.
WTF is it with the number 9 this year? by REVENGE_of_FETT	Nov 16th, 2009 11:30:32 PM
I mean seriously, 3 films all with the number 9 in the title? What are the odds of that shit?
REVENGE_of_FETT by lockesbrokenleg	Nov 16th, 2009 11:32:50 PM
999.999 to 9.
Pirates by MacReady452	Nov 16th, 2009 11:50:36 PM
No Gore = none of my money
"tongue-and-cheek"? You illiterate c-bag by YackBacker	Nov 17th, 2009 12:25:01 AM
Seriously, how can one read this review by such a fucking amateur? I give little credence to a person's opinion that cannot get such a basic phrase down for the purposes of a basic review. Go back to film school.. go back to ANY school that provides your illiterate ass some education in evaluating any work of art. Fuck... so little brains thrown at a movie, no less. I'm doing the dutch, I'm done...
I love DDL, but please don't compare him to Brando by WWBD	Nov 17th, 2009 02:59:46 AM
Brando was and always will be the king. He was the greatest actor ever captured on film, and maybe ever (Eleanor Duse was supposedly superb).
Not that I like the word "Plant"... by PacManatee	Nov 17th, 2009 03:52:48 AM
Is this how it's done now? Glowing review of everything with a small caveat thrown in at the end (Kidman is a 'disappointment') to make it sound authentic? Chicago was a bunch of up-it's-own-ass buffoonery, and Nine looks to follow in the same footsteps. Oscar Winner's anonymous smugly floating around the screen in a vain attempt to add some more awards to the mantle. It worked for Chicago, but fool me twice...
The greatest musical of all time is.... by Chakraborty	Nov 17th, 2009 05:34:06 AM
This is Spinal Tap.
What Chakraborty said. by CreasyBear	Nov 17th, 2009 06:22:05 AM

Is this the same as that animated thing or that Ryan Reynolds mo by Knobules	Nov 17th, 2009 10:18:52 AM

NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks by TedKordLives	Nov 17th, 2009 01:07:36 PM
Fuck Yes! Thank you for bringing up Hudson Hawk in the unlikeliest of places! Same to you, MurderMostFowl, for bringing Little Shop of Horrors into the discussion. Two of my favorite musicals, to be sure. If only they'd kept the original downer ending to Little Shop, it'd be one of my favorite movies period.
So where do the CGI dolls come in? by Crooooooow	Nov 17th, 2009 05:14:24 PM

the 2000 reworking of andrew lord webbers.. by emeraldboy	Nov 17th, 2009 05:45:45 PM
jesus christ superstar was the best show I ever saw. and rory bremners reworking of the song as his tribute to campbell and blair was utter sublime. the opening hook of that show made the hairs stand up on the back of neck.
you know i have to agree with the two posters.. by emeraldboy	Nov 17th, 2009 06:00:33 PM
on there will be blood. i was bludgoened over the head by the hype that said day lewis gave a masterclass and to me nothing could have been further from truth. it was a long winded movie, with central performance that sucked the entire life out of the movie. there was noting remotely likeable about plainview at all. day lewis was in over mode in that movie. contrasts this with easily the best performance daly lewis ever gave. Gangs of new york. the scene where he is sitting in the rocking chair with the blood flag draped around him was masterclass performance. day lewis in that film was a masterclass. there is no contest as to who is a better actor in that movie really none at all. Plainview was a horrible human being from the off. if he had been redeemed in the end, that would have been different.
"master class" is the most overused term in describing acting by WWBD	Nov 17th, 2009 06:58:28 PM
Emeraldboy - go back and watch there will be blood again. don't let the funny voice and the "villainy" of Plainview distract you - the real accomplishment in Day-Lewis's performance is the complexity that lies beneath the surface. Watch as his real feelings come out when he talks about how he abandoned his boy. There's real emotion, real depth there.
EmeraldBoy - one other thing by WWBD	Nov 17th, 2009 06:59:20 PM
you say that "if plainview had been redeemed in the end, that would have been different" - blame the screenwriter, not the actor. it's not the actor's role to make somebody likeable. complex and human? you betcha, and plainview is both those things.
Kidman's awful in most everything these days. by Rev. Slappy	Nov 17th, 2009 07:59:21 PM
I had to turn off Australia because she was so bad in it. And they've Botoxed her face to such a degree that it no longer conveys any emotion.
rev.slappy by emeraldboy	Nov 18th, 2009 01:29:45 AM
its why i call her Ice cold kidmnan
the year there will be blood.. by emeraldboy	Nov 18th, 2009 01:34:42 AM
came out, was also the year no country came out. they were very serious films. so maybe, by the time I saw blood, I had had my fill.
lockesbrokenleg by CherryValance	Nov 18th, 2009 10:54:39 AM
We need 9 movies with 9 in the title. And then the planets will align and puppies and kittens will live forever.
Fergie by Lou C.	Nov 18th, 2009 01:19:06 PM
She has a hideous face, but is it weird the peeing thing gets me kind of excited?
Amazing by redgray	Nov 18th, 2009 06:08:38 PM
Still blows me away how mean people can be on the net. And most of the time it's ignorance yelling at ignorance. You can check a song list on Wikipedia. The musical itself is great--and the original prodn beat Dreamgirls for a Tony. I'm most interested that they cut a few songs that make the piece make sense. I imagine he gave it a Chicago feel, but that's him. Still great, and a tribute to Fellini that people are still interested in his stories. Great, great musical, aside from whatever the film will be. Have to agree--that Cinema Italiano seems needless.
