to me having grizzly man and the devil's rejects in the same group as bad news bears, sin city, and wild parrots is astounding, not that they are in the wrong grade group, but just that they are all equal, it makes no sense to me. two of them are two of my favorite of the year and the other 3 are 3 of the worst I've seen anywhere...
i just realized how out of touch and uninterested i am in the world of sci-fi... hugh jackman AND rachel weisz?!! NO THANKS! I don't care who is directing... the lynch film however looks slightly interesting, as long as it's nothing like mulholland drive.
I can vouch for the ladykillers... it's good, it even stands up as one of the better coen brothers movies, which to my knowledge is just about all of them.
i guess my point is that it's not really a remake if the 'remake' could have been made even if the first one never existed... the way i see it anyway.
it's wierd... I like all these movies... nothing I hate... but aside from 3 or 4 none of them have any place on a top 200 list, well mine anyway... possibly the most I've ever agreed with a top movies list in which none of them even came close to mine
liar, liar as well... although it hasn't shown up on any of my lists I did love it as a kid(yeah i'm that young, when it came out I was 12), and I recently saw some of it on tv and was laughing my ass off once again... I love the part where Carrey says something like "aaw look i've brought them closer together"
the thing is a different interpretation of a novel... I would personally say that qualifies it as an original and not a remake, but thats a matter of opinion, you could technically say the same about any remake just being a re-interpretation of a script, but I think when a novel is involved and the movies are so different, it's another matter.
yeah, george clooney and marlon brando, although they are more like actors who directed themselves, but who's to say the difference.
all i have to say is wait until you get to john... then the illogical comes flowing in.
here here! for the cable guy.
you know whats even funnier... the more bad things I hear about sour grapes the more I want to see it... and let's just say I want to see it very very very very much... specially considering every bad comment I've heard about it coincides with a reason I love larry davids work... ebert-"puckered, deflated and vinegary... a dead zone"
I actually thought it was a good one bertie, in fact I feel bad for not being older, it could have worked well.
As for ebert's taste and jim, that's funny because I'm about the opposite way with him(which is probably the only way to really love and trust his taste)... I love a whole bunch of movies that he finds horrid and gives 1 or 2 stars, but I've yet to see(and i'm sure I will eventually) an ebert recomended film, and read the review, and absolutely hate it. Basically if I'm looking forward to seeing it and he bashes it, I don't give two sh**s, and if I don't give two sh**s to begin with he can give it the title of best ever and I still won't see it, but if i'm looking forward to it and he recomends it, I really get excited and I've yet to be dissapointed(specially if it's a film an old man shouldn't like, like the devil's rejects)
frankly, I'm dissapointed he didn't stick it to the usual suspects a little more... an 'i don't understand' cop out if you ask me... i hate it too.
haha... not sure if this was meant to apply to me as well but i should point out i'm not as old as my name seems to hint... i'm merely 20... but you may be right if we were talking about anyone but Roger Ebert, the man does not discriminate with such trivial things as swearing and offensiveness, reading old reviews and new ones just about every week my respect for the man as a movie lover is really growing, he seems to be the only one that makes a living doing it and isn't full of shit.
haha... funny thing is that OUATIAmerica is what I consider to be the greatest movie ever made... and yes I do like becker, i'm a ted danson fan, and he's playing an asshole, so I had to like it... Yeah peckinpah and leone are my favorite directors, but deadwood is a hacky joke, yeah so the style is there, but it's really corny and a disgrace to all the movies that do that sort of stuff well... in my opinion anyway... and cop shows not starring david hasselhoff or dennis farina are all crap in my book, as funny as that sounds.
