[Howls] Shite has The Wolfman been pushed back again?! Thats ridiculous, it was originally meant to come out in 2007!! Than Feb 2009 became the release date which was changed to Nov 2009 and now it's Feb 2010? Bastages!




"Now you sure you don't want a shave?"

"Wanna eat fist? "

Yeah I saw A Perfect Getaway too, great twist about one hour in which I didn't see coming but I didn't like the film much, and more than one reviewer thought it cheated, maybe it did a little. Lovely Hawaiian scenery though and gorgeous Milla Jovovich was good in a different type of role, those eyes, wow!



The most notorious porn star turned "legit" actress was probably Traci Lords who I last saw in... ahem Zack & Miri make a Porno, but she also appeared as a vampire in Blade and alongside Johnny Depp in Cry Baby. Lords nearly wiped out the US porn industry 20 years ago when they discovered she lied about her age and was appearing in porn movies at just aged 15... those early banned films are sought after collectors items for perverts and deviants the world over.

“You cannot blame porn. When I was young, I used to masturbate to Gilligan's Island.”
Aah the legend that is Ron Jeremy. 





And you girls love tv cartoons right? Not Disney cartoons, tv cartoons. The last few lines in my GI Joe review were actually aimed at you two. Hey come on Michael Reuben, our fussy Indie cinema loving moderator confessed to enjoying Transformers 2 over in Movies area, so I'm not completely bonkers.



Hmmm I want to see this one. I heard the time traveller randomly hops around in time when he least expects it. Fascinating.

Wow, that's pretty amazing and unusual, talented girl and she's not bad looking either.



Ooh looks like Walter has already picked his film of the year and we still have 4 months to go.

Well Inglarias Bastardos is definitely on my to see list. My favourite QT film is still Pulp Fiction I would say, I love that screenplay. I think Russell mentioned Kill Bill was his favourite.


But you didn't describe it Walt, what does she do that left such a lasting image on you? Is it a spoiler, would we know it when we see it?

Looking forward to your review, lets see if you like it as much as Walter did, and look out for that shot of Laurent he mentioned. I did read that Tarantino messes about with history a bit in this film, something to do with der Fuehrer? [salutes] And one of of my favourite David Bowie songs features on the soundtrack "Shoshanna's moment of revelation arrives to the tune of Bowies "Putting out Fire" and the anachronism is exultant".. I'll probably see it next week.

Yep Scorsese's new film looks really good and creepy, unfortunately the release has been postponed until Feb next year, baasterds! [bites knee]

Wow epic review there Russ, you really are a passionate fan eh. You should post that in the review thread keeping in the testy names just to confuse people.

The critics have generally been enthusiastic about IB, it's got 88% at Rotten Tomatoes with one critic saying - "Inglourious Basterds is sprawling, flawed and hugely self-indulgent. It's also hugely enjoyable" with another stating - "His latest is too long, too talkative and a touch too self-indulgent. But it's a heck of a lot better than anything he's done since Pulp Fiction." ooh I gotta see it.

I liked Lycans, in fact I enjoyed all three Underworld films, love the look.

I still haven't seen Lesbian Vampire Killers, but did see Blood the Last Vampire which was alright but nothing special.

First draft eh should be interesting, thanks Parker. I didn't know it was just Gene Wilder who wrote it. aah you don't get spoof comedies of that calibre anymore, I mean look at the crap we get now, Meet the Spartans, Superhero Movie, Dance Flick etc

Ah sheet well I'm not surprised, sequels rarely work as well as the original and this was a sequel to a remake for chrissakes!  Did John Carpenter's Halloween need re-inventing? No it didn't. Like you said in your last post Russ, Hollywood is too damned lazy!


Totally in agreement here Russ.

Btw I was trapped in the quote box after I edited it, I've seen others complain about this phenomenon and now its happened to me. I went back quoted Russ post again and was trapped inside again, I couldn't type anything outside the quote box. Blast. I'm surprised this new forum software hasn't self-destructed so far. I think I know the trick though, after quoting someones post hit your mouse pointer outside the box at least once before you edit the quote, than hopefully things will be ok, damn!

Russ, there was a lengthy interview with Terry Gilliam in Total Film mag, they asked him what he thought of Zack Snyder's Watchmen, which he was to direct at one time -

TG - Visually, it was really fantastic. He got it. And Rorschach was absolutely spot on. But it was too reverential to the book. He was trying so hard, I just thought someone needs to kick this thing in the ass.

TF - Do you think you could have done a better job?

TG - When me and Charles McKeown wrote the script we had to sacrifice so much that I was almost glad we didn't do it. It's a tough one. But it also suffers from The Incredibles, which basically stole the whole premise. And the Incredibles was much better! I thought "you guys are outrageous!" They just stole Watchmen and they made it into a very enjoyable thing.

TF - Would you like to do an animated film?

TG - Well at the premiere of Wall-E, which I thought was a work of genius, I said to the director "remember me, I may need a job in a few years! I'd love to come and work at Pixar."

TF - Which modern directors do you like?

TG - Guillermo and Peter Jackson together with The Hobbit is going to be extraordinary. They are really intelligent guys who really understand fantasy and aren't afraid of the darkness. They get it deep down. Look at the stuff James Cameron's doing, I've seen some of Avatar. It looks fantastic. And so it should for $300m!

TF - Do you think 3-D is the future of cinema?

TG - There's one problem with 3-D. Because you're wearing dark glasses, you won't get the whites. You're just getting the browny-grey of the glass, so it flattens it. In regular film, you've got a range from pure, brilliant white to almost complete black. The next stage of 3-D has to be a system where you can do it well without dark glasses.

Yep it looks like Terry Gilliams Watchmen would have been a lot different to the comic, which really would have pissed off the purists. I have a feeling Dr. Manhattan would have been out of the picture just to make it more workable, so I'm glad Snyder got a crack at it, better to be reverential than make up your own simplified version of a famous comic. Still, I'm interested in seeing Gilliams new film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, what a title eh? The late Heath Ledger's last movie. Poor Gilliam has always had problems making his films, production difficulties, money running out and now the star dying during filming. So unlucky.
