If you like my article, you'll have go directly to churchofnomaam.com every Tuesday.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 The Phone Booth DVD is interesting. Watched it last Friday.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 The Phone Booth DVD is interesting. Watched it last Friday. Do you mean the DVD or the movie itself, because the DVD doesn't look very good or interesting.
SpikeFayeJettEdBebop Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I thought Phone Booth was an alright movie and I might pick it up on DVD. Prob not though because theres not many extras and the movie isnt perfect.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Phone Booth is such a short movie they'd have to pack the DVD with extras. And that's just lazy giving a tiny list of what's out. When I did the DVD list gimmick...*rambles on about the olden days*
Guest mach7 Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Saw Phone Booth in the theatres... it was nothing special. I don't see anything special about Colin Farrell, to be honest. Yay, so he's an Irish guy who can do a good "American" accent, and he has to shave his unibrow.. whoopdiedoo... I will, however, be picking up Manhunter!
Guest Downhome Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I've already got Phone Booth on order for free from FreeDVD4Me.com just like I got Gangs of New York last week. I forget, what all is on the PB disc again? I loved the film, one of my favorites in a long time.
Guest Downhome Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Nevermind, here is review from DVDTalk.com (only the "Extras" and "Final Thoughts" are here, go to the site if you want the entire review)... EXTRAS: Commentary: Director Joel Schumacher provides an audio commentary for the film. This is an okay commentary, but I was hoping for something more. The director does touch on the topic of trying to shoot a movie in about 10 days, but I was hoping for more details about the planning that has to go into a production like that. The director instead spends much of the time discussing casting, acting and character issues. Although he does add a touch of humor and presents these topics in an interesting manner, I was hoping for something more technical in this case. Also: Trailers for Fox's "Garage Days" and "Phone Booth". Final Thoughts: A tense and effective thriller, "Phone Booth" is fast-paced, involving and offers a strong lead performance from Farrell. Fox's DVD doesn't present much in the way of supplements (a documentary about how the film was able to be shot in 10 days would have been nice), but does present the film with very good audio/video quality. Recommended. ...at least it's not TOTALLY bare bones.
Guest El Gigante Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I will probably pick up Phone Booth, if only for Kiefer Sutherland's role in it.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 And that's just lazy giving a tiny list of what's out. When I did the DVD list gimmick...*rambles on about the olden days* It's not lazy, since I really do have the complete list at the link i gave. It's just a shameless plug trying to get more people to check out my articles and hopefully the church of no ma'am site and forum.
LaParkaYourCar Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I'll pick up Basic cause I really liked that movie, but I never saw Phone Booth.
Guest NoCalMike Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Colin Farrel reminds me of a new Brad Pitt, just with a lot less acting ability.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 You know...people mainly guys once thought Brad Pitt was just another pretty face with little acting ability as well.
Guest wwF1587 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 i already picked up phone booth... i love that movie for some reason.. even though it does have its fault (not knowin alot about the sniper was the main thing) and being way too short..
Gert T Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I have a question since I must have been living in a cave when PB was released in theaters. Was Kiefer Sutherland advertised or was he supposed to be a "surprise"? I know the voice obviously gives it away quickly, but it kind of sucks if the DVD people whored him out and put his face on the cover of Phone Booth.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I was gonna get Phone Booth, but decided not to because its about as barebones as it can get. I was shocked to hear that originally Jim Carrey was in talks for Colin Farrell's part...I don't think that would have worked.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I think Jason Lee was in talks for that too wasn't he? Weren't they talking about it on the Dogma commentary? The script for this movie has been passed around for a long long time.
Guest Eagan469 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I was shocked to hear that originally Jim Carrey was in talks for Colin Farrell's part...I don't think that would have worked. The part was written for Jim Carrey, and *I* was shocked to hear that Colin Farrell got the role.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 Wasn't Jim Carrey at one point signed on to do the movie and backed out for some reason?
Guest Downhome Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Jim Carey has the skill to play such a role.
Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Watching Basic tonight and Phone Booth this weekend. Can't wait to see Basic.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Can't wait to see Basic. why... Even before I heard how awful it was I didn't think it looked very interesting. It's just another typical military thriller...yawn.
Guest Retro Rob Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 I'm in a tough spot with this Phone Booth DVD. Personally I LOVED the movie and have been looking forward to it for months now. Although considering the lack of extras, odds are a special edition will be released down the line. Decisions, Decisions.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 who the hell do you think you are...and why do you have this silly belief that you have the right to be here
Guest El Satanico Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 If you can live without owning it, you should wait.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 I seriously doubt that Phone Booth is going to get a Special Edition.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Unless it does horribly on DVD sales I don't see why not. Army of Darkness has like three Special Editions and it's audience isn't very big.
Guest evenflowDDT Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Regarding Manhunter, what's a Divimax edition? Also, in regards to multiple editions of Army of Darkness, I'd argue that it's the most popular (or at least most accessible) film in the Evil Dead series. Also, let's not forget that Anchor Bay are vampires who double and triple dip their "big titles" all the time. Bastards.

Also, let's not forget that Anchor Bay are vampires who double and triple dip their "big titles" all the time. Bastards. DiViMax -- a High Definition (HD) film transfer process that provides state-of-the-art picture quality It mainly just means it's been remastered, but it also has better extras than the single disc edition it's replacing. Oh yeah there's no doubts about the popularity of Army of Darkness. I was saying that overall Army of Darkness has a small audience compared to "major releases". Unless Phone Booth has awful DVD sales it should sell more than Army of Darkness would, so it has just as much chance as any movie to get a SE.
