Does this movie look supervomity or what?

It's a crime that it was made. To think there are people in film school all over the world, and a studio spends (presumably) big money on this heaping pile. Sick...

.

You can't see the intense chemistry between Fallon and the Queen?!? I heard it was all they could do not to keep there hands off each other between takes. That Fallon sure is a ladies man.... God that movie looks terrible.

I can't think of anything I'd want to see less.

OK - so, I am getting the distinct feeling that this will be a diappointing film (to which I agree). However, I am relatively assured that it will make at least 50 million dollars at the box office.

How people? Movies like 'Taxi' are like fans of Michael Bolton, the guy has sold millions of albums, but I don't a single person that owns one.

I'll be optimistic (for once) and wager that the American public will avoid this like the plague (except for the schoolkid-types that infest the board during the summer, of course) and that it grosses no more than 40 mil.

For the love of god, please!

.

Let's see, we have from the musical 'Chicago' Her Majesty Latifah; A boy that would be ripped apart on Fire Island - Jimmy Fallon; and an international supermodel.

Hmm - only if every gay man in the contentinal US ponied up the green to see 'Taxi' will it make over 40 million bucks. Am I sterotyping? Sure, why not. But I'm right - do I don't give a damn.

ARRGH! NOTHING TO SEE THIS WEEK! AGAIN!

I think there is a showing of Led Zepplin on the big screen or something if you are into that. I'm not really sure of the details, I heard it on the radio while driving home from work half asleep.

Friday Night Lights?

You'll get to experience TX football culture firsthand. Some of those little towns shut down completely on Fridays just to go out to see the game.

Billy Bob is good. I wanna see that one.

There's lots of irellevance in the jungle.

Didn't we get a large enough dose of Texas High School football culture from that other football movie awhile back. The Mtv production one, forget the name. Where the players went to the strip club & saw their teacher, and the backup QB was thrust into the starting spot when the regular starter broke his leg. So the regular starters GF did the naked body whipped cream sunday to try & get the backup-now-starting Qb...etc....etc...and then in the end....They win the big game!

Hooray.
I'll see FNL on DVD eventually probably...maybe.


Buddha Bless You

...seems to have much higher production values, and a better cast.

imdb's summary:

"A straight arrow coach leads his team to the 1988 Texas state semifinals in the west Texas city of Odessa, where high school football is king. Expectations of classmates, coaches, family, and community members exact a toll on the athletes central to the story. Economic and racial undertones pervade this adaptation of H.G. Bissinger's book by the same name."

From the trivia on it:

"Live-action game sequences from the 2003 Permian High School football season are interspersed throughout the film. Director Peter Berg matched the uniforms and on-field jersey numbers for acted sequences so that the live clips would blend. Game sequences were shot on location at Ratliff Stadium in Odessa and the Astrodome in Houston."

This is going to be a much better movie than that last one, mor ealong the lines of "Hoosiers", less like "Porky's"

Now, I haven't read FNL, and I know Varsity Blues was a complete rip on it, and as such, I don't understand why FNL was made into a movie. The trailer looks EXACTLY like VB did. I wouldn't be surprised to hear a sone tell his father "I don't want...your life" in this, either.

Now, I have heard of some plot points that differentiate FNL from VB, but for all intents and purposes, it's the same flick. And I happen to like the VB cast - VanDerBeek at his most watchable, even "good", Scott Caan in a great throwaway role, Ali Larter nailing the "slutty-cheerleader-with-a-heart-of-gold" routine and of course, Jon Voigt hamming it up almost as much as he did in Anaconda. Good times.

That being said, I'm sure I'll watch FNL when it comes on HBO...and I'll enjoy it probably about the same.

.

Can't like it because of one name Paul Walker aka Douche bag. He is my least favorite actor he is terrible, his movies are terrible, and everything about him is terrible..... terrible. But I liked the movie if you took shears and cut out his minor role. I think FNL is supposed to be a little more serious however... we'll see I'm sure.

I too, share your disdain for Paul Walker. He is horrible, and people who compare him to Keanu, are seriously insulting Keanu when doing so.

However, Walker gets injured and sees (not literally) his girlfriend hit on his best friend in the movie. Doesn't that make you feel a little better?

Then again, the fact that he plays "coach" towards the end (and later on, according to the voice-over at the end) is downright laughable...

.

OK - I have yet another reason to loathe this pretty boy douchbag (actually I got handfulls).
So I have the DVD of 'Joyride' (it was a gift - get off my back) - and the damn thing has commentaries from everybody, actors, writers, key grips - I'm not kidding.

Just when I beginning not to completely hate LeeLee Sobieski (Helen Hunt wants her DNA back) - its SO apparent that she has a crush on Paul Douchewalker - particularly in scenes that she's not in. Its both sad and infuriating all at once.

I remember last year when 'Timeline' FINALLY came out, and I was like "Woo Hoo! Alright Chrichton! Hit me - whadya got? Who's in this - AHHHHHHH SHIT! This schmuck's in it? Hmm - Sorry Paramount, you're not gettin' my 5 bucks now."

"ARRGH! NOTHING TO SEE THIS WEEK! AGAIN!"
