Joseph Bulock Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oh yeah, sadly I knew about most of that. I don't have any huge hopes of a good movie out of that one, but I really wish it could be. If nothing else, it'll be easy on the eyes, with decent amounts of knives to the face. My blood!

Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Kaftan transcribed a portion of the text I had linked to, and which I find spells a bit of doom to the movie. Still... Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I agree, I enjoyed Portman's perfomance in Closer. And I found the movie to be good too. Come to think of it, that was the first movie me and my girlfriend saw together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Don't judge Portman on the basis of her acting in Star Wars. Even Pacino and Streep wouldn't be able to make George Lucas romantic writing sound good. And let's not forget she was awesome in L "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

LadyCrimson Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Lucas makes everyone a bad actor. The Professional/Leon was awesome, I love that film. “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have my fingers crossed for V for Vendetta.

I don't have faith in the W brothers to write anything amazing, but they have a great sense of visual style. As for existing movies, I'm a huge fan of the original He-man: Masters of the Universe and the Xmen series. Looks like both of them will only get the worst of treatments in their next release though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He Man? Far too camp for it's own good. I mean, what was Skeletor up to?

Oerwinde Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Apparently the only film adaption Moore actually liked of his work was the David Hayter Watchmen script, which Moore apparently said was the closest adaption possible of the comic without making a bad movie. He also added that he wouldn't see it, he prefers sitting in a chair beside the fire reading a book. From what I hear, paramount ditched it and WB got the rights back, and they're scrapping Hayter's script, which has had rave reviews from pretty much everyone who has read it. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
