Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.
is STILL MARRIED TO THE SAME WOMAN AFTER MORE THAN 20 YEARS
Yeah but he's so ugly I can't imagine he had any offers in the last 20 years. t /T-i-C
I've heard from a number of people that pretty much the whole cast of Wings were very nice, hard-working people, who were genuinely enjoying themselves while making that show.
Did they enjoy carrots, by any chance?
They LOVED carrots!
A lot of people whom I've only thought moderately funny since killed me in Diner.
HMOG yes. Reiser & Guttenberg without a doubt (though I love hating Reiser in Aliens). I've liked Kevin Bacon and Ellen Barkin as much since. I've liked Daniel Stern, but he's never been as funny. I've liked Mickey Rourke occasionally, but I don't remember him ever being funny on purpose since.
The scene in the strip club with Daly and Guttenberg, when Daly starts playing the piano and Guttenberg jumps up to dance with the stripper is one of my all time favorite scenes.
I'm sure Weber is a very nice guy, and I'd have no problem at all with him if he'd stay off my TV instead of chewing the scenery in a craptastic Stephen King adaptation every three months.
Well, if Studio 60 lasts, he won't have much time for Stephen King adaptations. Unless his character is only recurring, not regular.
Expressing displeasure over the fact that the theme of martial arts movies is "always revenge," Jet Li has told the Los Angeles Times that he will no longer make such films. Li made his remarks on the eve of the opening of his latest film, Fearless, about a Chinese martial arts master who died in 1910. "In this movie and in my past three movies, I continue to say that violence is not any solution," Li told the Times.He said that he had become concerned that the spirit of martial arts, wushu, had become lost in movies, especially when young people confronted him. "On the street, I see a lot of young teenagers saying, 'Hey, Jet Lit. Beat up somebody! Fight! Fight!" The true meaning of wushu, he said, is "stop fighting."
Hmm. Well, revenge is a good reason for people who don't bo battle all the time to do battle. And those are more sympathetic people than the constant fighters. So the revenge thing makes sense.
Seems like he's either giving up the genre as being irredeemably tainted, or conceding that he can't or doesn't want to fix it. Shame.
But he hasn't been in any great English language movies...and I'm behind on his Chinese/HK ones of late.
I'd wondered about those "Jet Li's LAST martial arts movie!" promos. And googled to see if he died in August while I was getting almost no exposure to news.
