'Lessons'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The movie ends with Dances With Wolves proposing to go to the government and confronting them on how they treat Indians, despite the fact that when he pops his head up he's going to be locked up for desertion. The chief had proposed he just disappear into the tribe, but Dances felt the need to Make A Statement.
I totally remember it the other way! Weird. I think I'll hang on to that.
From tommyrot's link:
28. 'The Hottie and the Nottie' (2008)
Paris Hilton ... acts. And she doesn't even get killed at the end. Do we really need to say more?
What I want to know is, who played the hottie?
20. 'Little Man' (2006)
Marlon Wayans is a tiny thief who passes himself off as a baby. Because that would happen.
I haven't seen this, but I bet it was better when Lon Chaney made it as The Unholy Three.
Man, I know one of the stars of The Hottie and the Nottie (he's the reason I've shared oxygen with Paris Hilton, although I completely overlooked her at the time. Turns out she just looks like some skanky overdone blonde in person. Who knew?). For his sake I'm sad to see the movie there, but note I didn't exactly support him in the theatre. Friendship has limits.
Huh. I didn't think Wicker Man was all that horrible.
Wicker Man was dreadful, but in a must-see so-bad-it's-good kind of way. I mean:
(Okay, it's not toast in the original clip. Still one of the best things on the internet.)
Most of the rest of that list is so-bad-it's-just-really-bad.
How did Wicker Man compare with the original?
How did Wicker Man compare with the original?
Mainly having the island be a matriarchy rather than a patriarchy like the original. So Neil LaBute could let his issues hang out all over the place.
Worst Movies of the 2000s: The 40 Biggest Stinkers of the Decade
I kind of want to see Speed Racer because some people seemed to enjoy it on a Crank-like level.
I don't want to see Avatar, because I know elves when I see them.
The footage you're seeing in trailers isn't fully rendered and has been flattened to accomodate a 2D display. It's not even close to how the finished movie will look in a theatre.
Bob talked to someone who worked on the marketing for Avatar, and he mentioned this as a big problem for them: they were incredibly worried about the advertising, because they couldn't make the movie look good. But he agreed that it looked unbelievable onscreen, even if the rest of it is kind of crap.
I'm guessing they make their money back, especially internationally. It seems like this will go down like Titanic did.
The original has aged badly, but there's an actual good movie in there behind all the "Paganism = nekkid Brit Eckland, yay!" stuff.
The remake is mainly about how Neil LaBute is terrified of women. He demonstrates this by having Nic Cage run around and shout at them. It is hilarious.
