Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:20:35 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/06/15/robert-rodriguez-to-start-machete-in-five-weeks/#IDComment24364390 http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/06/11/kristen-stewarts-joan-jett-look-for-the-runaways/#IDComment23997597 I'm not completely sold on the casting for this movie, so I'm reserving judgement for the time being. I honestly don't see Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and nothing she's done has made me believe she'll transform, she pretty much plays the same character in every movie. I think Dakota is a better actress, but we'll see how well she portrays Currie. I am glad she's taking on some different type roles now that she's getting older; you can only play the kidnapped kid so many times.

Miyazaki is by far my favorite animated director/storyteller his movies are truly fantastic. I recommend his films to everyone whenever the subject comes up or I bring it up. The kid and I have had his movies on rotation over the last month.

As it is when I got married a couple of years ago I opted for a dessert bar, which was a hell of a lot less than a wedding cake that almost no one eats anyway.

Not that having McG direct was that much better, but Rob Cohen is definitely a step down.

She also says some pretty crazy things in interviews the girl does not come off as very bright. I would rather not see a Commando remake, but it'll be made regardless. Dwayne Johnson in the role would be fine by me, but he hasn't seemed interested in becoming an action star looking at his recent movies.

I think he tried with The Island, got bored and decided to turn it into one of his popcorn action movies.

Over the last week everything that has popped up as been awful.

This one looks to be even worse. I'll wait till DVD and have a laugh with my brother.

However, making a movie based H.R. PufnStuf is an awful, awful idea. I still crack up watching those old episodes, but I don't think it's something that can be recreated. I wish they would leave it alone.

Growing up the family would watch Kung Fu every week during its run; it was a family favorite. I loved his performance in Kill Bill and whenever David Carridine popped up in a movie it was a treat. My thoughts go out to his family.

I would much rather see this series continue in stop motion than live action. In fact, they should have gone that route in the first place. Not that I didn't enjoy the live action movie it had its merits, but it wasn't a very good adaptation of the first three books.

I'm not a huge fan of modernized Shakespeare and Hardwicke directing? I don't know the material might be a little too deep for the director. My knee jerk reaction on this news says, "Fuck this project."

So, yes, I can say I'm looking forward to seeing how this movie turns out even if Tracy Morgan has part, the man has never been funny to me.

Though the way Jacob explodes into the wolf is cool, but then yeah, let down....I hope they can improve on that effect - he needs to look more real and intimidating.

It's hard to believe a 45 second clip could make me cringe so much. Fuck, Stephen Sommers ...I wish he'd have taken on some other movie to make crappy and left GI Joe alone.
