I'm in....... "In Time"
I like how delicately JT says "I wanna take them for everything they've got."
Would Gary be coming too? That would be one car-load, with everyone except me in north Portland. I could get a Zipcar and come pick people up. Hit the theater in the 'Couv and stop to get a Fiji water after the film.
GOD DAMNIT
text him!
I vote for 9:25pm. I can come pick up the Urban Honking North Portland Film Appreciation Society. (Oh, I wonder if @UncleBoatShoes2011 will join us!?)
I leave myself only the escape clause of class being shitty and me needing to not see humans later. Hopefully that won't happen!!!!!!!!
Are you really picking everyone up? It's so luxurious!
But thank you for the invite and HAVE FUN!
anybody?
Bye and Bye?
seriously, no takers??
Beers and brussels? WHY WOULDN'T YOU
I was interested in the opportunity of this film when I saw the creation of this thread. I hadn't heard of the film, so I watched the trailer. I was left cold. I thought, "I like all those people so much but this movie doesn't look good. I would watch this at a cheap theater." Then I asked my sci-fi expert Ms. Universe her thoughts on the prospect of this film. She was not excited. Then I was presented with a free comedy opportunity.
I would love to hear the group's thoughts on this film.
When you are making a film, do you think there is a point at which you know it's going to be bad, but you are in too deep, and just have to keep going?
I have reviewed it on I Saw That if anyone is interested in deeper slams.
After doing some very cursory research, I do think that we can't blame the director, who is clearly a smart thoughtful dude who knows how to make a movie. I think this is one of those times where a bevy of dipshit producers ruined the film by trying to make it less and less ambiguous and have more and more boobs and car chases until all that was left of the original idea was just this sketchy unrealized skeleton on which crazy fist-fights and awful expository dialogue was layered.
So, yeah, I think there was probably a point where THAT DUDE realized the movie was going to suck, but when it comes to shit like this, a relatively-no-name director doesn't stand a chance against the Money Men. If they want to hire 20 random guys to come rewrite your script, they're gonna do it.
"Give me one hour"
"Ok here you go" [whoosh whoosh whoosh]
(looks at arm; we see the one hour on there)
"Ok I'll see you later"
"Ok"
(looks at arm again, we see the one hour on there)
[whoosh...whoosh.....] omg the hour turned into 59 minutes!!!!!!!
This feature also made the already-confusing film-world even weirder, where like, the mom has 2 hours on her arm and then takes off running and then in the next scene she's still running and looks at her arm and only 8 seconds are left. WAIT, REALLY?
I am kind of sick of seeing this dear man as the villain in Hollywood block busters, even though I also love it.
He is definitely not sand-colored. He is a veritable shining rainbow of colors and emotions. I love him.
He's not the bad guy in 28 Days Later...are there any others where he's not the bad guy?
Good call about his accent, I always even forget that he's British.
Also good call re: Seyfried being real-life anime. It was awesome how she found time to spend an hour on her eye makeup each day even though they were being chased by gangsters, police, and raging millionaire fathers. Also STRIP POKER, that scene had some of the best dialogue! "Why do I play strip poker with you." "I don't know."
YES
