Curt McGirt Posted January 8 Posted January 8 The new Jericho movie *sigh* Looks like they saved a lot of money on lighting, cause there isn't much 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 8 Posted January 8 COMPANION Starring Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, and Harvey Guillén Premieres January 31. -- It's unfortunate how much they give away in this trailer. 1

I was literally just trying to explain who Uwe Boll is to someone at work last night. If I were making a Mount Rushmore of schlock directors, he would be in consideration for sure.
Curt McGirt Posted January 9 Posted January 9 IN THE LOST LANDS Big Dave Bautista and Milla Jovovich in a George R.R. Martin Joint More CGI than you can handle. From the Facebook page that posted it: "it’s truly difficult to imagine a worse looking movie trailer than this. hilariously awful"
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I have said it before, but D&D being blamed for the final seasons of Game of Thrones, when they did what GRRM told them to do, is a crime. That up there makes my point for me. 1

From the Facebook page that posted it: "it’s truly difficult to imagine a worse looking movie trailer than this. hilariously awful" It sorta reminded me of 300 meets Mad Max, so I didn't have any problems with it. Other than GRRM slacking off again and not finishing his books. 1 1

Curt McGirt Posted January 14 Posted January 14 THE ALTO KNIGHTS Just saw a trailer for this on TV, first I've heard about it. De Niro plays both Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, heavy makeup for both characters. And Debra Messing is in it? Yeah, the trash mob movie fan in me has a diamond-cutter in his pants right now.
RIPPA Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 From last year's thread Quote Ridley Scott next movie will not be the Bee Gees biopic like everyone thought. Instead it will be called The Dog Stars and will star Paul Mescal. Shooting will begin once Mescal finishes up his run in Streetcar Name Desire on Broadway. Turns out the Bee Gees biopic might not happen at all now Per GQ Quote Speaking with GQ Magazine, Scott discussed the matter more openly and explained why he’s decided to move on to other things for the time being. “The deal—the studio changed the goalposts,” Scott explained. “I said, ‘You can’t do that.’ They insisted. I said, ‘Well, I’m going to warn you, I will walk, because I will go on to the next movie.’ They didn’t believe me, and I did.” Scott still hopes the issues will be worked out and that he can film the Bee Gees movie later this year; however, the project has been “set aside” for now. “I was being asked to go too far,” he says. “And I said, ‘No. Next!’ They didn’t like my deal. So I said, I’ll move on. I’m expensive, but I’m f—ing good.” Regarding what the movie will be about, should it get made, Scott said. “I liked the working-class side of the Bee Gees. It’s all about competition with brothers…. And then they lose Andy—Andy OD’d at 30…. It’s more about the gift than the luck, right?… It’s a fantastic story.”
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 15 Posted January 15 There's a new Jason Statham movie called Jason Statham Part 37.... *wait, I'm being told it's called A WORKING MAN. Anyway, instead of showing you the studio's trailer, here's a better version of it: 4
Curt McGirt Posted January 15 Posted January 15 We need to start tallying these up. Has he beat Charles Bronson for "most roles that are exactly the same with different circumstances" yet? 1

Has he beat Charles Bronson for "most roles that are exactly the same with different circumstances" yet? I mean Rock, Kevin Hart, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pratt are all the same person in every movie, if that's what you're going for. We used to call that a lack of acting skill, now it's just "branding." Edited January 15 by Technico Support 1 1
Curt McGirt Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Yeah but those guys have all had comedic roles to break up the monotony. I think the funniest stuff Statham has got is Snatch and probably some lines in the Expendables movies, which are tongue-in-cheek by nature. Bronson NEVER did anything funny.
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Back in the day the common pitch to studios was Die Hard on a boat, Die Hard on an oil rig, Die Hard on a whatever. After that, the talk was, dudes were going in and pitching Will Ferrell. Ice Skating, Will Ferrell. Nascar Driver and getting shit greenlit in an instant. Now it's basically just Statham. Construction worker. Someone kidnapped. Everyone dies. I have to say I'm here for it. I mean, I'm more here for Death of a Unicorn and Companion upcoming but that's neither here nor there. 5
odessasteps Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Speaking of "X on a X", when I was watching one of those fall TV previews, there was a TV movie that was basically Snakes on a Nuclear Submarine. 1
Brian Fowler Posted January 16 Posted January 16 The all-time best "Die Hard on/in X" remains the Anna Nicole Smith Skyscraper which, I swear to God, the VHS cover literally had a blurb that said "It's like Die Hard in a skyscraper." 1 5

This is a major touchstone for my wife and I. We regularly say, “I told you I’d take a year off from flying to have a baby!” It has one of the most gratuitously unnecessary soft core scenes in movie history. She gets a gun off of a dead terrorist and then has a flashback to her boyfriend teaching her how to use one at a homemade target range, then a full sex scene between them, before returning to the closeup of Anna Nicole looking at the gun. 5

Your memory is off. There are roughly 15 different covers for the movie none of which say that. The main US one only has a blurb saying "86 floors of action-packed terror". The Swedish version, on the tape itself, tells you exactly what to expect - "bra busting" and that Anna "gets her kit off". Good lord.

That’s tremendous. Reminds me of Arnold being interviewed for Predator, I think, and being asked why his movies didn’t have sex scenes. He was like, “we’re running through the jungle fighting this creature…are we supposed to stop and have sex?!” They could have just done a flashback! 1 2
Curt McGirt Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Arnold was too busy fucking in real life to fuck onscreen 4
