The warriors was nice because it is in the era before assault weapons and crack, now it would not be break dancers who fight with fists, it would be like training day with only the gang side of it. This idea is just to different from the original, I would call it something else, and not try to re-imagine it.
Shia has got to have the best agent in the world.
Is anybody else sick of hearing about star wars and people being in love with it, then writing into a script. Whether a tv shows like family guy, spaced, Simpsons, robot chicken that 70s show or fucking half the shows on television then also on film with most of Kevin Smith collection, fanboys, and I'm sure many other films that have some sort parody in them. I understand it is a common experience with most of the people living today, but when does parody become laziness. The parodies, I've like few of them, the Kevin Smith movies I liked a lot, but sick of it. Look, this film looks like it is going to be great and it doesn't seem like it is more than a bunch stars wars jokes strung together, but I had enough of with star wars parodies/jokes.
Remember lock stock and two smoking barrels, slow mo was used in that when the sleeping woman gets up and fires the machine gun. Guy Richie and the Wachoskis were slowing down scenes way before Zack Snyder was.
Spike is quick, witty and kind of fluid to his character. Sure, Keanu does martial arts but he didn't three months before the matrix, and may look like him to, but he is not the actor for it because he does not have the essence of spike.
Eric Bana is a movie star, hardly. I never seen one of his movies that have been recieved well by both critics and fans, if he has fans. If I were to ask ten people on the street who Eric Bana was, maybe one or two would know. He is an actor, not a movie star. Dupilcity looked like oceans 14, with no one else besides Julia Roberts playing a one dimentionally bitch for hour and 30 minutes with Clive Owen thrown in as one dimentionally subservate man that is so common in movies today; because female impowerment means that a male character can't have any balls. The movie seems to be nothing new. The way the preview is setup you know that they will get away it in the end, but who really gives a shit. This has been done, and it has been done better.
It just seems like ego trip. Like there going to add depth to the three stooges or something. The stooges don't need depth, or some rehash of the stooge's material. If I want to see the three stooges, I would buy the dvd from the 3 dollar bin at walmart, not 9 dollars for movie ticket from two actors that have communist ties and one that has to keep proving he is a great actor. And Farrelly Bros., if you want to do drama then do drama, don't half ass it and give the people a heart felt comedy.
The Watchmen movie is a lot to take in, and while the running time may seem long, it still has some distance to go before reaching the scope and depth of the graphic novel. It is a lot of characters to explain in a two and half hours, and these characters are each unique and immersive the audience really has to get to know them. I think The Watchman as a movie this is the best an audience is going to get, but it may be a short time before it gets translated again into a miniseries. The miniseries medium needs to be rethought. Maybe someday a studio will instead of a 100 million dollar 2 to 3 hour movie, make a 12 to 20 hour miniseries that has the necessary scope and depth to tell the story to its fullest extent and giving each character the necessary screen time they deserve.
Well then it should have been made into a miniseries. Look to Band of Brothers, I see that as a true translation of a novel format. It is able to tell many different types of stories, while having a well maintained overall story arc. When compared to its counterpart of Saving Private Ryan, people general say that Band of Brothers is better of the two. This is because it is able to give the audience more time to live with the characters through battles and through the downtime.
Where's Jesse Ventura in all this. I mean, why not, what he doing. It will be great if they could get Bruce Willis and then have the south american dictator be Predator and the love interest be three breasted fat lady from Total Recall, it will be 80's action movie Explotion! Wolveines!
