Freddie didn't really get into specifics regarding Kiefer's professionalism. I always thought there was a clear distinction between being difficult and being professional. It could just be a personality clash, but I'm sure Kiefer showed up every day on time and ready to work. But as people mentioned in Kiefer's defense the other day, they keep bringing him back.

And I've heard of actors inflating their heights, but 5'4" seems a bit low. It seems a bit odd that he's short though. His father is listed as 6'4".

Ryan Reynolds is merely sufferable here.

If there is a Tremors reboot; either Michael Gross had better reprise his role as Burt or they should just leave out Burt all together.

Anything else will result in acts of vandalism perpetrated by me against any one associated with the picture.

My problem with Jarhead is the whiny tone Swofford takes when describing how he didn't see any action.

Dude, none of your buddies got killed, fucking deal it with.

You know what I did when I was bored in the Sandbox? Read a box, wrote my sister, played my Gameboy, took a nap, etc.

I think his career is dead at this point. The dude's now considered box office poison.

To briefly go back on to the Kiefer Sutherland thing briefly, by coincidence today I was talking to somebody who did some work for the last season of 24. Apparently he worked with him 3 times, and he was drunk off his face on 2 of those occasions. On a similar vein, apparently one day when they were shooting Kieffer was so obviously drunk that the armourer refused to allow him to do the firing scene that they were about to do, so Kiefer just stormed off set for the rest of the day and refused to do anything .

When I mentioned to him about the Freddie Prinze height thing, he said that it is bizarre that they would make somebody take off their shoes rather than make Kiefer stand on a box or something. By making him take off his shoes, not only does it slow down production as he keeps having to take his shoes on and off, he also said that it is a sure sign of a massive ego on Kiefer's part as it would have been a demand from him rather than anybody on the production team.

If he showed up not ready to work, then that's being unprofessional. If Freddy had just said that, more people would take his side of this. Just mentioning the height thing just makes him look petty.

Has it occurred to anyone that neither Taylor Kitsch or Paul Walker knows or knew how to fight? You want to make an American remake of a drama like The Departed, then go ahead, but if we're just talking about a martial arts flick, which The Raid and to a lesser extent, District B13 are, then I'm going to want to see actors who actually know how to fight. In both cases, Iko Uwais and Cyril Raffaeli were the leads or co-leads AND the fight choreographers. Is there no modern American equivalent to Michael Dudikoff or Chuck Norris? Or at least bring in Jason Statham. (Or not, Jason Statham is 47?!)

A martial arts remake starring martial artists. How novel.

Well, this was predictable:

I'm going to see Guardians of the Galaxy again this weekend so Bay won't get a dime of my hard earned money.

Or any MORE of your hard earned money.

I've already seen Guardians of the Galaxy twice.

Well that didn't take long.

The guy was hardly David O. Selznick, but IMFDB would be a lot smaller without him.

This might be the first time Aquaman would be more intimidating than either Superman or Batman.

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/ja...an-1201221554/

Not to sound racist, but I'd go with a white actor for Aquaman.

And I'm probably the only person on this site who liked Man of Steel.

I don't think there's any reason Aquaman has to be white, and it's not like he has a long live action history like Superman or Batman. Wonder Woman has to be Mediterranean looking, because that's where she's from, but who knows what Atlanteans are supposed to look like. Maybe they'll go all out and cast Hawaiians/Polynesians exclusively to play Atlanteans.

So I saw Expendables 3 and it was boring! I cannot believe that it was boring. They spent too much time trying to developing the new characters but even they got little screen time. In the end nobody got any real meaningful screen time and Jet Li was barely in it. This is by far the worse of the Expendables movies. On the plus note, Antonio Banderas really was into his role, he's got so much energy.

Jet Li was barely in the last one too. Is it just a scheduling thing?

Maybe Stallone's getting too many A-listers and there isn't enough screen time to go around?

I didn't realize until today that Expendables 3 was rated PG-13. If the allure of the franchise was to showcase old action stars, all of whom starred in violent rated R action flicks, what's the point of playing it safe with the PG-13 rating?

Tucked in there is the fact that the Rock's two favorites are Black Adam and Green Lantern. I'd be okay with him as John Stewart.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Rock-...zam-66835.html

I seem to remember that there was official word a while ago that they weren't going for the John Stewart GL. I can also understand why they wouldn't go for the Rock as GL, as he would be physically more imposing than both Superman and Batman which is wrong. Personality wise, I think he would actually make a good Shazam, but he is probably a better look for Black Adam. I don't really mind them messing with the race a bit though, there is nothing about him in particular that lends him to being any particular race. Also, if they were to cast him as Black Adam this would probably be a one and done deal which I think would be a waste for somebody has as big an audience as the Rock does.

Well, they're already going to have an Aquaman (AQUAMAN!) who's going to be more physically intimidating than Superman or Batman, so why not?

Aquaman should be built, he is super strong and tough in his own right. GL relies on a ring for his power and doesn't necessarily have any physical strength of his own (I'm surprised they have never gone for somebody with a physical handicap of some sort as a GL, all they need is will power and these people can definitely have that). Hal Jordan is a pilot, Guy Gardner is a teacher, Kyle Rayner is an artist, and John Stewart is an Architect, so none of them are exactly body builders by trade.

Because "physical handicap" is Oracle's schtick.

At least it was...

They make some good points here, although the domestic/foreign pipeline only seems to flow one way. No one in Red China is thinking, "Transformers is nice, but I wish it starred a Chinese cast who spoke Chinese. Let's remake it!"

I think there's more tank action in this trailer.

I wanted to go to google images and see how John Stewart is depicted in the comics (I don't really read the GL books,) and half of the images that came up involve The Rock. So I guess I'm not the only one who's had the idea.

Another guy who ops up a lot on an image search is Idris Elba, who personally I think is a better match. TBH, he does tend to be drawn as pretty massive in the books (depending on who the artist is), but this is more due to the fact that pretty much every male superhero is drawn with the same body. If you had somebody like The Rock playing him, it would be bizarre seeing a guy that size working his day job as an architect unless they write in that he is a body builder over the weekends.

I always thought Michael Jai White would've made a great John Stewart, but that would've been a waste of his martial arts skills.

So the new Sin City movie is coming out tomorrow. I am interested in it since i am a fan of the first movie.

I've recently got Prototype, and it's an awesome game!

Sin City was the last good comic Frank Miller ever published. Now he just makes dogshit (like All Star Batman and Robin.

Without spoiling anything, Shutter Island depended on a massive twist. I don't know what would be the point of revisiting that universe without it.

Russians are going to be missing out on some good movies, because Russians make great movie villains.

It's been said that there's no such thing as bad publicity, but I'll say it, this is bad publicity.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/27/showbi...html?hpt=hp_c3

Holy crap! When I read that on my phone the first line that appeared was just "'Sons of Guns' reality star Will Hayden arrested", and I fully expected it to be some BATFE related problem, certainly not that! I had no idea that "crime against nature" still existed, but it would seem that raping your 12 year old daughter on a daily basis certainly qualifies. Not considering the circumstances, I am actually glad that this show has been cancelled, as it had had turned to absolute trash, yet I was still compelled to watch it as it was pretty much the only program of its sort on TV.

I wouldn't be surprised if this actually all turned out to be bollocks initiated by his ex-girlfriend (which is his claim), but even if not true this show, him, and probably the company are done for.

Y'all are just now hearing about it? I bet y'all a dollar it's a bunch of bullshit

If it isn't, then I hope his guy gets locked away for life.
