Craig H Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 It seems like Hollywood goes through times when it tries to make the next big thing, and that period was Kilmer's. Between the Saint, Batman Forever, Ghost and the Darkness and the Dr Moreau, and his role in Heat. I don't think any of them were great hits, and his behavior likely has kept him out of the supporting roles that probably should have been his. . . . At this time, I'd like to HIGHLY recommend listening to the Island of Dr. Moreau episode of How Did This Get Made? because it's one of the funniest episodes of that podcast. Later in the episode they air some audio clips of the producer or director, I forget which, and it's from an interview he did where you get first hand knowledge of just how crazy that movie shoot was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Apparently, Hateful 8 and Revenant screeners have leaked. I post this for informational and entertainment purposes only and do not in any way condone seeking these out. Follow-up brief article here about the FBI investigating how the leak happened. Andrew Kosove, co-CEO of production-finance company Alcon Entertainment, was sent the “screener” copy of Hateful Eight for year-end awards consideration. That copy was signed for by an office assistant and later shared online, where it is now circulating on multiple file-sharing sites. Sources say officials with the FBI, working in conjunction with distributor The Weinstein Co., have been able to pinpoint Kosove's copy of the film as the source of the leak from a watermark on the DVD sent to him. FBI agents are visiting Alcon’s Century City headquarters Tuesday to determine the chain of custody of the DVD and who is responsible for its uploading. Alcon is cooperating fully in the investigation. "I've never seen this DVD," Kosove tells THR in an interview. "It's never touched my hands. We're going to do more than cooperate with the FBI. We're going to conduct our own investigation to find out what happened." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We are also driving an extra hour next week to see H8 in 70mm outside Baltimore than wait a week to see the reg version. So, for the right thing, exceptions are made. White Marsh? Be careful where you park. Last time I was there, somebody hit my parked car and drove merrily away. I always park near Red Brick, never in the back. But its also usually in the morning when there are less people there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I did not know this movie existed until yesterday. I feel for anybody who may have had to sit through it. I've seen Miss Castaway listed on Michael Jackson's IMDB page for years, but always assumed it was some kids film. Holy shit, that's terrible. I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what possible incriminating information someone could have on Jackson to force him to appear in this. Nothing comes to mind.

Curt McGirt Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 My dad's a big fan of The Saint, if that's anything in Kilmer's favor. I have nothing to say about him aside from he's had some good roles but otherwise he's a complete boor and it's fun to see him gain weight. Now on the other hand, you guys reminded me that THIS is something I REALLY REALLY need to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wacky story from the Hughes book: Fairuza Balk got so fed up during filming she, in fact, tried to escape on a plane at one point. But the studios' security guards caught her and forced her to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Since it is Christmas - it means the parade of movies to keep the kids occupied has begun Hotel Translyvania Hotel Translyvania 2 Oof - and they watched 2 TWICE. My family will be responsible for the next Adam Sandler disaster. I guess 2 was "better". I think I chuckled more during it mainly because of the kid. Some how Andy Sanburg was more infuriating over the course of two movies than Sandler. Book of Life God this was so fucking great and y'all suck for not watching it. The voice cast is aces (well I mean Channing Tatum as a Mexican dude is odd but he fucking crushes the role). I hearted the music a bunch too (and I dorked out over Placido Domingo being in it). This will most likely get added to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 You know those films that you think you've seen, and then you rewatch them and realise you'd never actually seen them before? I just watched Conan the Barbarian (1982) and... I'd not seen it before. I must have thought Red Sonja was Conan somehow. James Earl Jones had blue eyes and straight hair. I think his character was supposed to be caucasian, seeing as he was the only black guy in the whole movie. Written by Oliver Stone and John Milius. That must be one of those re-write things where the original writer gets a credit even though his script was thrown out, because I can't see any way those two could collaborate or even agree on anything. Kid Conan's Mother was really good looking, then she got her head cut off. Not sure how you'd develop biceps from pushing a big log round in circles, that's pretty much a quads and pecs/shoulders workout, but Arnie did look like a Frazetta painting come to life. Having said that, the book Conan could beat film Conan's ass six ways to Sunday. There was much less nudity in this movie than I was expecting. Early 80s action movies are usually tit central. This was tit peripheral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 For the folks that watched Concussion: Did they go after the NFL? Simmons said they didn't really go after the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 After planning a big Xmas movie marathon, the wife and I wound up only watching Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever. Saw it last year and picked up the DVD a week ago. Still found it enjoyable, so it'll probably go into the holiday rotation in this household. The movie pokes fun at itself and provides plenty of chuckles along the way. This was after we watched the Mrs Brown's Boys special, but that's a TV show for another thread.

Jiji Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Have any of y'all Concussion viewers seen the Frontline episode covering this (with an initial focus on Dr. Omalu)? I fucking loved the PBS documentary but I could see myself being irritated by the dramatization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It was probably a tad more fair to the NFL than I would have liked, but I hate the NFL with the passion of a thousand suns. I have no idea where Simmons got the idea they didn't go after them, the movie paints a clear picture that everyone from the fans all the way up to the suits are responsible the players' issues. The NFL and especially team doctors are the clear villains. I have not seen the Frontline episode, but my wife picked CONCUSSION as her movie to fall asleep to and ended up enraptured by it, then we had a lengthy discussion afterwards.

League of Denial is pretty good. Anyway, anything other than a straight up depiction of a Goodell beheading is not satisfying Bill Simmons.

Randy Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Goodell didn't come off well, but it wasn't the biggest role in the movie. The medical professionals are painted in the worst light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Ok cool and thank you I will have to give it a watch soon. I loved the PBS documentary. Also, I'm seeing this is at 60% at RT but didn't it receive nominations at the Globes? Looks like this will be a polarizing film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
