Cool by Pr_Frink	Jun 27th, 2000 02:59:41 AM
That Thalia is one gorgeous woman. I hope she has acting skill to back up her looks, though. I guess I'll wait and see. And the JP3 stuff is kinda interesting. Hopefully that thing about not imitating or copying what Spielberg has done before comes true. Oh yeah, one more thing. I'M FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!
JP3 (and first? probably not...) by Acid_Rain327	Jun 27th, 2000 03:06:47 AM
Cool; Neill and Attenborough? Sounding better than The Lost World already. I certainly hope this one is more intelligently developed than TLW; the original was so much better, because it had at least some intelligence behind dinos ripping everything to shreds... I really want to see more connection to the first film too. Remember the scene in which Nedry is killed? His dropping that shaving cream can/make-shift incubator and it being covered in mud was to prominant to not have any significance at all.
The Other Conquest... by fathergeek	Jun 27th, 2000 03:07:32 AM
WOW!!! I just watched that trailer LOBO posted on my surround sound set up... Too Coooool! I want to see LA OTRA CONQUISTA right now! If you didn't check it out go back into LOBO's coverage and click on it right away you won't be sorry.
Spielberg writing JP3 by crimsonrage	Jun 27th, 2000 04:33:18 AM
Now I as a film-lover adore the works of Spielberg(most of them anyway), but him helping in the writing of JP3 doesn't sound too appealing to me. "Why?" You ask. Because he tends to get over-emotional, and we will probably be subjected to some animal rights message throughout the film, until we break into girations caused by the epilectic siezures from all of this P.C crap shoved down our throats! This crap ruined "The Lost World", a film that could have been a cool "Aliens"-style film about hunting down dinos, but instead turned into a multi-million dollar "hunting is bad" public service announcement with cool visual effects. The T-rexes should have been shot, they ate people!!!! According to the film's evolutionary message though, "they were just following their instincts", well, according to evolution isn't it man's instinct to hunt whether he eats the kill or not? Why should we feel sorry for the poor locked-up dinosaur, but be angry at the man? If I want to learn about politics, I definitely won't go to a monster movie to become informed!!!! Stop it Hollywood, please stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, maybe I got a little too angry. Bye.

First draft of JP3 was written by... by Mammy	Jun 27th, 2000 07:32:38 AM
...a screenwriter named PETER BUCHMAN. You will see his name a lot more VERY soon.
The Dancer Upstairs by Smilin'Jack Ruby	Jun 27th, 2000 08:35:29 AM
As everybody in the chat knows, I've been a silly little cheerleader for this film ever since I read the absolutely incredibly cool script. This movie is going to simply rock. The plotting of the story is so subtle and insidious that when the violence really starts, it'll broadside you. I cannot wait for this to actually hit a screen - it may be one of the best movies of the year (well, next year).
thalia..amor a la mexicana by nelson	Jun 27th, 2000 01:51:20 PM
FYI,Thalia is one hot babe that had her first pop hit "Amor A La Mexicana." Her current hubby is Mr, Tommy Motola (Mariah Carey's ex).
JURASSIC PARK 3 news is cool, but... by indio2	Jun 27th, 2000 03:13:02 PM
Please don't let this column change into just an otra pop news item list. As a young Mexican National living and going to school in the states my hope is that this page will help keep me in touch with Mexico film and stars as well as otra Latino news stories. I guess you need to cover such pop stuff to call attention to this part of AICN and that is good, I guess, just don't loose the south of the border focus. There are a bunch of us that need that and that makes the site really different and especial.
Bill "Hypocrite" Goldman... by Zardoz	Jun 27th, 2000 03:34:13 PM
Time for a reality check on Bill Goldman. Bill, you can't write a book complaining about every thing that's wrong with Hollywood today and then write a piece of crap like "MI:2". That movie was a blatant rip-off of "Notorious", "Darkman", and Michael Mann's "Last of the Mohicans", to name but a few. Whole scenes and even dialogue was stolen from "Notorious." (The race track scene is the most blatant evidence of this.) The evil henchman disguised as the hero being killed by the villain? "Darkman". The hero leaving the girl in the hands of the bad guys after he tells her to "Stay alive" and jumps from a building/ waterfall? "Last of the Mohicans." The film even stole from its predecessor, M:I, with the derivation on the guywire/trapeze infiltration bit. (Which was stolen from "Topkapi".) Let's face it, the only thing that saved "face" for M:I 2, was John Woo. (Hmmm, come to think of it, he did make "Face Off", didn't he?) Maybe Goldman will write an original story for JP3, instead of stealing so much of his ideas from other writers...

yeah Harry's grown exponentially by Maagic	Jun 27th, 2000 03:42:19 PM
both phyically AND in popularity.. too bad he still can't post a damn picture without it covering the very article he is associating the picture with. Tsk. Don't be afraid to learn a little HTML Harry... And to that fag who said "oh by the way I'M FIRST!!!" NO YOU'RE NOT YOU LOSER! I pick my nose in your general direction!
Crimsonrage - you are an idiot by BTWR	Jun 27th, 2000 03:51:08 PM
Sorry, but you are. What animal rights activists are gonna have a problem with a film whose main animals are CGI??????? Duh!
BTWR- I don't think you know what your'e talking about. by crimsonrage	Jun 27th, 2000 09:06:31 PM
I did not say animal rights activists would have a problem with JP3, I said Spielberg puts p.c. crap like this in alot of his movies, even when don't call for it. Maybe you should read closer before blatantly calling someone an idiot. Now bye dammit!
Get a clue Zardoz by RolandKL	Jun 28th, 2000 02:19:12 AM
Bill Goldman didn't write MI:2--that was Robert Towne! And yes, Towne stole much of it and wound up with something that didn't quite work, but at least blame the right guy. No one else caught this? No one else reading?
D'oh! by Zardoz	Jun 28th, 2000 04:49:29 AM
Sorry, Mr. Goldman, I had a Brain Fart! (I knew it was Towne all along, really...) I was just confusing two formally great screenwriters. For that matter, has anyone seen "Absolute Power"?
