I watched Gremlins II for the first time in forever last weekend. The fire alarm is now my favorite movie quote ever: Enact the age-old drama of self-preservation.

 

Also, I'm 100% sure that every TV network must have their own "End of the World tape", surely dating back to the Cold War.

Nope, Pulp Fiction and True Romance were the only movies they were both in.

Then someone needs to get on this...or would this be like crossing the streams and destroy the universe?

Eugene Levy and Sam Jackson did a movie together and earth remained mostly intact.

The same cannot, sadly, be said for their careers.

That is one film where the only good thing you can say about it is it was in focus. And honestly, you were wishing it was out of focus.

 

Walken and Jackson would never work cause then who would be the cool badass? Even when trying to dork it up, Walken comes off bad ass. It just can't be done unless you call the film "Two bad asses"

Eventually this pairing will have to happen ala Pachino & DeNiro in Heat.

 

 

Also, Fool's Gold = a 2008 low rent redo of Jewel of the Nile & Romancing the Stone

Speaking of De Niro and Pacino, they're starring in another movie together called "Righteous Kill" and who's co-starring? 50 Cent!

 

2008 Oscar for best picture in the making folks!

Cast details for Kevin Smith's Zack And Miri Make A Porno from viewaskew.com:

 

"The Office's" Craig Robinson and former porn star Traci Lords have joined Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks and Jason Mewes in Kevin Smith's "Zack & Miri Make a Porno."

 

Ricky Mabe (ABC Family's "Beautiful People"), Jeff Anderson ("Clerks II") and Katie Morgan (HBO's "Katie Morgan: A Porn Star Revealed") have also joined the film, which is being produced through The Weinstein Co. and Dimension Films. Production is set to begin Wednesday.

 

The story centers around two lifelong friends -- Zack and Miri -- who after finding themselves deep in debt enlist their friends to make a pornographic movie with the goal of earning some quick cash.

 

Michael Cole and Carla Gardini are overseeing the project for TWC and Dimension Films.

 

The film marks the latest collaboration between Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Smith and producer Scott Mosier. Their previous projects include "Clerks," "Clerks II," "Chasing Amy" and "Dogma."

Katie Morgan is interesting. She sucks as a porn star, but is pretty funny when she's just being herself.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw that commercial. And was How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days so good that they had to reunite its stars in an adventure movie?

 

Fun fact: My little brother's friend's student film that he made had appearences in it by the guy who played The Jewel of The Nile and the Principal from Billy Madison

Seeing a trailer for Get Smart that showed BOTH Terry Crews AND David Koechner in it made up for Steve Carell not being Don Adams.

Rick Ross, cult expert and founder of the Rick Ross Institute, is interviewed by Radar Magazine regarding the Cruise video and Scientology

 

Tom Cruise "Is Totally and Completely Indoctrinated"

 

CRUISE, CONTROLLED Tom By now you've undoubtedly seen "The Video" (on the off chance you haven't, Gawker still has it up), in which it is established beyond all reasonable doubt that Tom Cruise, the once-irresistible leading man from such American classics as Top Gun and Risky Business, isn't playing on the same field as the rest of us. But where exactly is he playing? How did this happen? Is there any hope for him? For these answers and more, we chatted with Scientology expert Rick Ross, the founder of the Rick Ross Institute for the Study of Destructive Cults, Controversial Groups and Movements.

 

Radar: So what's the first thing that strikes you about this video?

 

Ross: It reveals the extent to which Tom Cruise views everything in the world through the lens of Scientology. He is totally and completely indoctrinated. He sees himself as the chief visionary of Scientology, and it's obvious that the Church perceives him that way, too. He's essentially become their number-one missionary. What's shocking is how fully the line between "Tom Cruise the person" and "Tom Cruise the Scientologist" has been erased.

 

 

As evidenced by his reliance on all the lingo—KSW, SP, PTS ...

 

Right. All of those acronyms are what I call "thought-terminating cliches." They are typically used by individuals who've been brainwashed, or are otherwise involved in cultlike behavior. Tom is not critically thinking. He is repeating over and over the dogma that has been drilled into him. He's a cheerleader, not a theologian. His single-mindedness is striking.

 

Why is he so giddy? It's totally creepy.

 

You have to remember that this is a recruitment tool that was not supposed to be seen by the general public. He's laughing, having a good time, having fun because he is a movie star and can afford to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to reach OT3 status, which is when you get to learn about the "incident" with Xenu and the intergalactic overlord and all that other nonsense hardcore Scientologists believe. He is trying to entice others to do the same. Remember, he's still Tom Cruise.

 

What was with that bit about him being the only person in the world who could help if you were in a car accident?

 

He's referring explicitly to "Touch Assists," wherein Scientologists believe that they can heal injured individuals simply by putting their hands on people. They even have "Volunteer Ministers" who show up at the sites of major disasters (9/11, the Virginia Tech massacre) wearing bright yellow vests trying to "address trauma." That's why he thinks that he's the only one who can help.

 

Is there any way we can make him normal again? We kind of like the old Tom Cruise!

 

It would be very, very difficult, for one reason: He actually thinks he is normal. Scientology has so consumed his life that he's living in a double cocoon: Not only is he separated from the public at large by his celebrity status and wealth, but by Scientology as well. You look at him and see a crazy person. He looks at you and sees someone who has yet to come around to Scientology. That's why he makes that remark about there one day being a world in which you can only find SPs (suppressive people) "in the newspaper." His goal is for everyone on Earth to attain "Clear" status—the mindset in which you have no unwanted emotions—so that they can then progress to Operating Thetan status. Nothing can deter him from this.

 

Which is why he makes that statement, "I have to do something, because I can't live with myself if I don't."

 

Right. He has cast himself as the number-one agent and face of Scientology in the world. He now lives, breathes, and thinks it to the degree that many would describe him as being "brainwashed."

 

Would you?

 

Yes.

You thrust your pelvis, HUNH! You thrust your pelvis, HUNH! You thrust your pelvis, HUNH!

 

Yeah, I'm excited. What the hell YOU starin' at?

I watched Gangs of New York today for the first time since it came out and Daniel Day Lewis' performance as Bill the Butcher is just as good as it ever was. Just absolutely fucking awesome.

[Black Lushus 0]

I think it was also Leo's coming out party...he stepped out of the teen idol blanket that Titanic wrapped him in and showed that he really is A-list material. The Aviator, Blood Diamond and The Departed all featured awesome performances from him following Gangs. He was also entertaining in Catch Me If You Can, which came out around the same time.

AMC Theatres is running a promotion in limited markets where on February 23rd, you can see all five Best Picture nominees for $30 plus you get a free large popcorn and a free large drink with unlimited refills.

 

 

That's a really good deal and I'd probably go if I hadn't already seen 4 out of 5 of the nominees.

[Nighthawk 0]

I'm going to do that, probably. I've only seen TWBB and NCFOM, and I'd watch them over and over, so this is ideal.

 

Three problems, though. The closest one to me is in Santa Clara, 40 minutes away. I'll have to skip a DUI class and make it up later. There doesn't seem to be much of a break between the movies. You gotta eat sometime.

 

It still sounds like a fun day.

 

Also, saw Rambo today. Badass.

[Hawk 34 0]

They assume you'd just eat at the theater.

[Brett Favre 0]

Man that's a great deal since I haven't seen any of them. I don't know who'd want to go with me though, it's a pretty long movie day.

[Ripper 0]

I am weird. Not that I wanted to share this with you all, but I watched The Ten(pretty good), The Nines(more below, 8mm 2(god aweful, Wild Seven(Pretty crappy despite Rober Loggia's efforts), Six (a documentary about these kids that killed their entire family...pretty...interesting).

 

I am working my way down. I have no idea why I am doing this.

 

Anyway, so I am watching the 9's and I have to ask. When the hell did Ryan Reynolds learn to act well and not make me want to punch him. Between this and Smokin Aces...he is doing some good work now. Weird.

[Black Lushus 0]

I hated Smokin' Aces...way too contrieved, silly and MTV hack job-ish.

Didn't say it was a good movie. It had plot twist just for the sake of having plot twist and was overall a pretty blah action movie. But Ryan Reynolds did a damn good job in it. come to think of it, all of the acting in the movie was pretty good. They did the best they could with what they had. And what they had was a shitty script.

I don't know what they're waiting for (it's an old issue). Other than the Dark Knight, I'm not really looking forward to another super hero movie as much as Deadpool.

[Ripper 0]

I don't see how they could possibly make a good movie out of deadpool.

A cocky goofball assasin who makes quips while killing and is only on the side that most benefits him? Hell man, they have done that about 100 times already, only without a red and black ninja suit.
