User Questions

With all these reboot and remakes happening in Hollywood, don't you think the healthier stance to take is, "Hey, I loved the original, so what?" and just ignore the remake if you want to? A lot of people casually throw around the phrase "destroying my childhood," but it's not like these remakes go back in time and stop the original from being made. Instead of being indignant and giving the remake more buzz/press by railing against it on twitter or in comments, just ignore it and don't spend money on it. Seems less stressful to me.
Rorie - Yes. But a remake can be ignored.
Alex - I look at it this way.
Alex - You know me, I'm somewhat prone to being outraged at things
Alex - im certinally not the most even keel humanbean you have every met
Alex - I agree, but im not the healthiest person.
Alex - So when I get outraged about people remaking a film, like say the wild bunch, like a bunch of god'am fucker.
Alex - I know people are in Hollywood to make money, and if you can do that with an existing property then so be it.
Alex - If something is near and dear to me I find it hard.
Alex - I'm not saying don't re-make beloved films you just have to exspress what you are going to do with the film.

Was wondering if you had a favorite movie speech/monologue. A really cool one that comes to mind is the Superman bit from the end of Kill Bill Vol.2.

Hey guys,
Going off of another user's question last week regarding Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., a friend and I were having an argument the other day about Al Pacino vs. Robert DeNiro and which career will be looked at more favorably by fans and critics when both actors retire. I argued that in their prime, DeNiro was the better actor but that Pacino's career will be viewed more favorably due to him being in "better films" than DeNiro is over the last decade and a half. I was wondering where the both of you stand on this issue?
Alex - thats not 100% true.
Rorie - De Nero will be better remember. De Nero has become almost critic proof
Hello fellows,
In films like The Terminal and Ocean's Eleven (remake), one or two tracks from the original score are used in repeat fashion- it's not that they're bad songs, but its grating to hear them over and over again. This is especially frustrating to me when such pieces of score are playing in scenes that don't need them at all, often accenting every single beat of importance with a musical flourish as opposed to letting these moments impact naturally. It's like a sign to remind a live studio audience when they are supposed to "LAUGH" and "FEEL EMOTION", leading scenes that could've possibly been truly hilarious or touching and intense into piles of cheese and melodrama.
Do either of you have an issue with repetitive score and overuse of said score? Or am I nit-picky and/or insane?
ALSO, a few episodes ago, you two were discussing Paul Rudd's career and a possible dramatic turn for him. When checking out his middle, quiet career, you mentioned Two Days, which is a drama vehicle for Mr. Rudd, and my goodness, it's damn good. Low-fi as all heck, but his performance is BEAUTIFUL. It's on Netflix Instant and I highly recommend checking it out- it proves that the man has tons of range.
Thanks! And good day.
Rorie - really depends. Most reoccurring themes are just musical cues for particular characters
Alex - The delta force

Hey guys, my question is has there ever been a movie where you thought it could have worked better if it were made into a TV series/miniseries instead of a feature film? Or even a movie/movie franchise that could have continued or spun-off into a TV series? My reasoning for this question is because i recently saw Vantage Point for the first time.For the most part I found it was an okay movie. It had a cool concept, but I thought it didn't work well for a movie. In my opinion I thought it could have worked as a TV miniseries where each episode showed a different vantage point instead of squishing it all together into a 90 minute film. Let me know what your thoughts are and keep screening!
Sincerely,
Mike G from New Jersey
Rorie - Its weird. There are plenty of movies that Could work as a tr program
Alex - films with small progressive plot would work
Rorie - Jurassic park would work
Alex - Well it will, Terra Nova
Rorie - They are making the Fugitive into a tv program, even charlies angles. Thats a bad example as they both were.

Are you guys fans of 1950s Giant Monster Movies? If so, any favorites that stick out at you?
Rorie - Going back to watch cheesy movie is not my idea of a great night.
Alex - I only do it with a group of friends

With the re-release of The Lion King this past week, I was wondering if you have recently re-visited films that were a big part of your youth? If so did any of them still stand well on their own being viewed as an adult, or do many of them make you question your childhood?
I recently went back and watched Jumanji not too long ago and I was suprised I still kind of enjoyed it. It aged quite a bit, but it was still entertaining. I was just happy that Indy and Star Wars were some of my most watched as a child...although I don't think I quite understood them as I do now.
Rorie - I don't go back. I did watch raiders and that was fantastic.
Rorie - I'd rather have my memories
Alex I can't go back and watch any of GI Joe or Transformers
