Yuna_Firerose Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I only started watching because Alan Cumming is in it, but honestly, so far, it's quite funny. Plus, it stars the Pepsi girl. She's quite funny as the 'get-real' teen daughter.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Yeah I am. Nothing else on. Daniels is great.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 Yeah, he is. He's, thus far, owning the screen. "Please call me back!" Lady calls him back. "Thank you!" *hangs up*
Downhome Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I only started watching because Alan Cumming is in it... Gee, ya think?
Guest stardust Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Yuna, nothing against you, but I think I'm kinda scared that someone actually took the time to make that animation of Orlando Bloom kissing Johnny Depp.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 I only started watching because Alan Cumming is in it... Gee, ya think? And he appears 41 minutes in the feature. But, oddly enough, I don't even mind. His prescence only enhances an already great movie. Unlike the lame piece of shit known as Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. That movie was just.........ugh. Alan's dance sequence at the end with Romy and Michele was worth the wait, though.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 Yuna, nothing against you, but I think I'm kinda scared that someone actually took the time to make that animation of Orlando Bloom kissing Johnny Depp. I think it shows dedication and effort
Guest Ghettoman Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 And a frightening obsession with male homosexuality.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 And a frightening obsession with male homosexuality. Not really....just boys kissing. She made a site of .gifs of various fandoms smooching by manips. I don't know this girl [if it is a girl] personally, so I can't defend, or offend, her. Speaking of gay........Jeff Daniels acting all foppish was just hilarious. And Alan acting all 'straight' as the director...just too amusing.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Wow, that was great. Wonderful performances, very fine tv movie.
Downhome Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 You are in denial if you honeslty do not see your frightening obsession with male homosexuality.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I forgot it was on, so I've missed a good deal of its second airing but its on again tomorrow night at 8 and Sunday at 8 and 10:15.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 You are in denial if you honeslty do not see your frightening obsession with male homosexuality. I am obsessed with gay men. Yes, I admit that, and I don't give a fuck. Wow, that was great. Wonderful performances, very fine tv movie. I totally agree. Jeff Daniels really surprised me here; his comedic lines were delivered so greatly. And the young girl was played very well; very realistic and all that....for some reason, I kept thinking of 'Curly Sue'. And, of course, Alan was great But the woman....she really got on my nerves. It seemed like she'd cry at the drop of a hat. It got annoying after a while, to see her cry so much. Basically, once the movie stopped being comedy and cared only for mushy-sappy-romance, it was just boring.
Guest Ghettoman Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I think you really should give a fuck. You might learn a few things about who you really are.....like a gay man.
WrestlingDeacon Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I should probably tell you all that this is a remake of a movie from 1977 based on the original Neil Simon stage play. Richard Dreyfuss starred in the original and became the youngest person at that time to win the Oscar for best lead actor. The popular rumor is that the Academy gave him the award only to piss of Richard Burton.

WrestlingDeacon Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Actually, I would put even money on the fact that Yuna, who started the thread, didn't.
Guest cpac Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Dont forget that the girl quinn cummings or whatever who played lucy in the original movie won the oscar for best supporting actress. This was a good scene for scene remake of the original.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Posted January 18, 2004 I think you really should give a fuck. You might learn a few things about who you really are.....like a gay man. A gay man trapped in a chick's body. Ja, sounds like a soap opera plot. Actually, I would put even money on the fact that Yuna, who started the thread, didn't. Right, so I'm dumb that I didn't know? Please...like I keep up with 70s movies.

WrestlingDeacon Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 There's a big difference between being dumb and simply being unaware. Seeing as how your tastes run toward gay anime and effeminate boys yet to wear out their first razor, I figured you would be the most unaware of this as a followup to an Oscar winning, critically acclaimed film that helped launched the career of Richard Dreyfuss and revitalize that of Neil Simon's. Seems I was right. It was OctoberBlood who figured everyone would already know that so take up your presumed stupidity with him. I am quite aware that you should never over estimate what common knowledge is where pop culture is concerned. There are so many people out there where ten years ago is a brick wall to them they won't go past. Not saying you're one of those people though, just musing on the subject.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 I just figured most people knew that. Not only was it a decently well known film, but in the commericals, TNN showed 1000 times a night, it says something like "from a Neil Diamound Classic~!". Nobody called anyone stupid.

Seeing as how your tastes run toward gay anime and effeminate boys yet to wear out their first razor That was cute. I don't really watch anime, though, and the guys I like are over 30 [Johnny Depp, Alan Cumming]
Nighthawk Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Actually, Alan Cumming is closer to 40, and Johnny's already past that. But the real reason I'm posting is to say that that Neil Diamond comment was pretty damn funny.
