JJ Abrams is going to direct the new Star Wars movie.

Is it childish to be a little pumped about Movie 43?

I'm very intrigued by it. It's too high profile a cast for a parody type movie. I don't really know what to make of it, but I feel like I need to see it.

Well, Freddy Got Fingered is in my top 10 movies of all time, so I'll see Movie 43 A.S.A.P!

Zero Dark Thirty was huge disappointment. It really isn't a good movie, at all.

It's way too long, it drags on terribly, and there's no character development whatsoever. I'm not sure why Jessica Chastain has received so much praise for her role, an extremely one dimensional character. All the characters in the movie are one-dimensional, actually. It's pathetic. The last half-hour of the movie when they actually kill Bin Laden is suspenseful and worth watching, but the long 2 hour lead up to that is...boring. Like, really boring. Zero Dark Thirty is a boring movie and I wasted my time.

I guess if you want to watch it to actually see the behind-the-scenes of how they got Bin Laden, then it's ok. It's ok for its historical significance. Just don't expect an overly entertaining flick.

It depends what you view as interesting or entertaining. Maybe its more an issue of your expectations not jiving with what the movie presented.

As I said, it was an interesting movie from a historical perspective but just not an overly entertaining/riveting movie. I have to admit my expectations were pretty high considering the Oscar buzz the movie has gotten but I felt it was boring through parts. Argo, from a pure entertainment perspective, was much better.

I watched Animal House a couple days ago. It holds up.

Stir Crazy is on the tube right now. I haven't seen it in many, many years. I had forgotten how hilarious it is.

 

[maplesyrup]

Is there an actual storyline that follows Solo prior to us meeting him in the canteen? Yeah, we all know the history with Jaba and Lando, etc. But is there any real literature? That could be kind of fun.

Yeah, he's an Imperial cadet who ends up rescuing Chewie. It's a little hammy and I really don't like the idea of any of the original main Star Wars characters being played by someone else. I mean, they kind of made it work with Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he wasn't really a main character in the original trilogy.

Well, I'm getting my wish but I hope to God they don't Eff 'em up.

So, the two most obvious spin offs? Makes sense.

What about the Cantina band story?  :-*

I'd leave that to Behind the Music.

Like when they were a big stadium band and then it all went bad and how they wound up doing the Empire lounge scene?

Yea... how the manager screwed them over, the drug problems, the Yoko Ono who tore them apart, the reunion tour 20 years later including the Cantina .. how Jimmy got fat ... etc...

If anyone as thinking of seeing Movie 43...don't. It was unequivocally the worst movie I have ever seen. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star even called it the "worst film ever" while NOW Magazine (or was it The Grid?) said something along the lines of "it looks and sounds atrocious from start to finish." These are no exaggerations...this movie is pure filth. It's disgusting, obscene, reaches new levels of vulgarity, and is downright offensive. Not offensive to me, but offensive to the Hollywood film industry as a whole for merely existing. The boatloads of big-name stars that made appearances including Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Dennis Quaid, Hugh Jackman, Uma Thurman, Anna Faris, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, Leiv Schreiber, and Gerard Butler should all be embarrassed for attaching their names to this debauchery. How did this piece of crap even get into theaters?

I'm a strange fella, your post made me want to see it.

According to IMDB, the movie cost 6 million to make. It's already grossed 7.7 million domestically. Add in after-theatre sales and foreign gross(where movies with big stars do disproportionately well) and it'll probably be pretty profitable when all is said and done.

 

[TML fan]

Anything to make a buck. Next thing you know they'll be doing a remake of Steel Vaginas.

The only reason I saw it was because a friend told me how bad it was. I was intrigued, expecting to laugh at the pure horror on the screen. But to quote Peter Howell once again:

"It?s not a 'good bad' movie, the kind where you laugh at the incompetence on display. It?s simply a terrible movie, the kind that makes you feel lousy for having spent money to see it."
