Cesare doesn't slumber through VERTICAL LIMIT

Sorry But I cannot help but think of Cliffhanger when I see the by GEEKBASHER 3.0	Nov 10th, 2000 12:20:19 AM
But I do admit, it is one kick ass trailer....also one that shows too much! Lots of avalanches and Robin Tunney looking retarded as always...I say let the bitch freeze and die and I hope Chris dies in this movie, He bugs! He needs to DO GAY PORN! He would be a better actor I think in that genre!
Ski season coming up, oh why not... by dan-E	Nov 10th, 2000 12:22:16 AM
Besides, not only is Marty Cambell a great action director, he actually managed to wring out a believable performace out of Katherine Zeta Jones, which was her only only decent role (other than her cameo in "High Fidelity").
sounds exciting by pogo on my own	Nov 10th, 2000 12:24:00 AM
I wasnt looking forward to this movie much becuase Chris Odonnel makes my skin crawl almost as much as Rosie (that beast), but it sounds exciting. What was wrong with Cliffhanger, I thought that was the last decent movie that Stalone did. Oh well
All you can think of is Cliffhanger???? by The Founder	Nov 10th, 2000 02:10:10 AM
What the F$%# Cliffhanger was good well at least to me.
hit the monkey and you'll win $20! by Cthulu	Nov 10th, 2000 03:49:22 AM
If Chris O'Donnell doesn't make it at the end of this one, I'll go see it. Otherwise- YAAAWWWN!
Chris O'donnel is reason enough to not see any movie. by ThereIsNoSpoon	Nov 10th, 2000 12:07:52 PM
After "Three Musketeers" and "Batman Forever" I can't watch anything with him in it. Much like DiCaprio, he's have to be in a James Cameron movie for me to see it. (I went agaisnt this better judgement once to see "Man in the Iron Mask" figuring the large ensemble cast and directing by the guy who wrote Braveheart would make up for Leo's presence. Last time I make that mistake.) I avoided "Scent of a Woman" because of him. I actually went and found the original foriegn film it was based on and watched that instead.
Robin Tunney is hot! by Jarek	Nov 10th, 2000 12:39:27 PM
What the hell is wrong with Robin Tunney? And what the hell was wrong with CLIFFHANGER? It had John Lithgow in one of his coolest villian roles (next to Richochet) and Michael Rooker. It was pretty damn good. I agree about Chris O'Donnell though. Yeegawd!
Please, by Michael Cheritto	Nov 10th, 2000 01:48:31 PM
Does Rubin Tunney get her face jammed into the pillow? He Harry way do you have that dancing monkey as one of your advertisers? Oh that's right you love money. But who does'nt. Get something new, unless you like double clicking on that moeny tree endlessly.
C.O. is KO (Jarek, I hope you jest) by LiquidNitrate	Nov 10th, 2000 05:02:56 PM
At his career zenith, Chris O'Donnell was little more than a Corey Haim with dramatic chops. A Midwestern pretty-boy beloved by preteen girls. But what he did with Joel and Akiva (and Batnipples) doomed his future, and a year later Matt Damon basically replaced O'Donnell's former casting niche. Chris desperately wanted to star in Vertical Limit to resuscitate his career, but considering that he hasn't done a decent movie in over 5 years, it's a little too late. Nice guy, nice try. But I'll see Vertical Limit b/c Martin Campbell rocks. As for John Lithgow in Cliffhanger and Ricochet, those performances were awful (shamlessly aping both Alan Rickman and Anthony Hopkins). Lithgow's best roles were in Buckaroo Banzai, Twilight Zone, World According to Garp, and his SNL guest-host stints. If Jarek actually thinks Ricochet ranks higher, he probably also thought Terence Stamp's best performance was in 1993's Real McCoy.
I do jest by Jarek	Nov 10th, 2000 06:55:21 PM
Lithgow's best villian performance was in BLOW OUT actually... he barely talked, but he was creepy... CLIFFHANGER was higher than Richocet as well.... and I liked Terence Stamp in THE LIMEY
"CHRIS o'donnell? oh, i thought you were talking about ROSIE o'd by tommy5tone	Nov 10th, 2000 07:27:00 PM
that's the only way i can explain the venom directed at chris o'donnell on AICN and in these talkbacks. yes, he sucked big time in 'the three musketeers' but didn't everyone? and would you rather have had leonardo di caprio or christian slater as robin? fuck no! he was pretty damn good in 'batman forever' IMHO, and the only reason he was less than successful in 'batman & robin' was because akiva goldsman wrote the script using a pen jammed in his asshole and joel schumacher was so distracted by the sight of it that he forgot the basic principles of how to direct a movie. sorry. anyway, o'donnell's been OK in other stuff and he looks like the right stuff in the 'vertical limit' trailers - a white-bread kinda guy forced into heroism above and beyond the call of duty. come on, there are more than enough legitimately crap actors cluttering up our screens to kick the shit out of! (paging matthew lillard.) there's no reason to pick on o'donnell.
Freddy Philippe Jr. Vs. AICN TalkBackers by LiquidNitrate	Nov 10th, 2000 11:48:44 PM
Actually we were just being facetious in the acidic comments above, and love Chris O'Donnell as much as our aunts and uncles cherished Alan Alda when he was alive. As for Matthew Lillard and the legacy he is departing into acting history, don't knock him just yet --- the textbooks of the future's college-drama workshops will remember him as the Laurence Olivier of Top 40 teenybopper Shakespeare remakes. Just as the latest AFI thesis study is contemplating the contrasting performance methods used in the characterizations of Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore in "Like Father Like Son."
Hey Al Wait up by DropKickMurphy	Nov 11th, 2000 02:37:25 AM
Hey You know what? A tear is trickling down my cheek in joy due to the fact that AICN'ers have finally agreed upon one point. That Chris O'Donnell is a big deep smelly buh-ho (butthole). Everyone on this talk back is in agreement. This solidarity is making me weepy. Dropkick splittin' like pants.
Hey you want free tix to the Hollywood Premiere of Vertical Limi by mramsey	Nov 21st, 2000 09:58:27 AM
If you have a bitch about Chris O'Donnell, take it up with him in person at the Hollywood premiere of Vertical Limit - just you and a friend and Robin Tunney :-) Just check out http://www.moviejuice.com/2000 /verticalpremiere.htm for all the gory (and easy) details. The movie's very good, by the way. MRR
