Karolina Kurkova..
Her lines were stilted, and it didn't take long to realize, how she must have pulled a "weinstein" to get that role. There were about a million more "cover girls" who could have done better...
Well it sure as hell took quite a while for the master to haul his big a** into the kitchen before stopping the fight..
My mom would have knocked both of them out within 10 seconds after they started - plus made everyone in the monastery clean up the mess the two kids made.. She had damn good ears, plus a good left hook..
Didn't matter about the accelerator suits.. That Korean, still out ran Marlon Wayans without one..
Which makes the suits pretty much useless...
I have to agree with Satyr..
It's about time, people stop pretending off screen. We all know that they HAVE to act when a camera is pointed at them. Whether they are good at it or not, is irrelevant.. Give them a break..
This is also why most people are so resentful, and disillusioned when they get to "chummy" "entitled" with a celeb, and get their feelings hurt. All of a sudden that person, who crossed a boundary - gets on the internet and says what THEY really think.. Not only about that celeb, but start bashing the works that they once idolized.
Folks who believe that celebs, "shouldn't speak their mind" or are supposed to "nice, and cute" at ALL times, are probably the same ones who had a hard time coming to grips when they found out that the "commercial" Santa Claus did not truly exist..
Speaking one's mind does not mean, "lack of class" - It shows an abundance of courage..
Kudos to Channing..
Cory Feldman, did the "greatest Jezus ever uttered in a film". In the movie "Lost Boys".. every one in the audience laughed quite a bit when he looked up in the vampire cave, and saw those guys hanging upside down, asleep..
I do know that rich white males have formed a fraternity of getting vasectomies at an early age. There was apparently a big news article about it..
One of the guys that started this movement was someone who picked up a "hot chick" - who knew he was rich. They had sex. She went into the bathroom, telling him she was going to dispose of the condom, and stayed in there a bit longer than "usual".. He walked in on her, and there she was, on the toilet tipping the "contents" of the condom into her "eternal tunnel" to induce pregnancy.. go figure..
The female body has changed according to how much you're willing to pay for it.. guys. You like them toned/fit, big butts (thanks to the african american female body-type, not the Kardashians, they are just wanna-be black women), nose jobs, bottle-blonde hair, tiny waists (thanks to the waist-cinchers sold on Tele-mundo, and Kim Kardashian)..breast implants, etc..
They know exactly what you want.. and those females who are smart investors will pay the price. You, too, have to "pay a price" if you can afford her... If not, they don't care, they'll just go to the highest bidder.
Don't believe me? Look at Melania Trump.. Once she snagged Donald, her figure is now returned to a more "boxy" look.. Before, she kept up her body, until she hooked him.. She knew the value of plastic surgery (like all of Donald's women, including his own daughter Ivanka), and she used it. Melania went from looking like some flat-chested, wild-eyed big nosed European to some hybrid of a Cat with tits..
I think i dated a guy like him..
It was extremely embarrassing to watch.
I can't blame anyone but the actors for volunteering to work in movies like this.
For some odd reason, directors seem smarter than their uneducated subordinates, and can manipulate them into believing that the sky is blue.
Look at what Quentin Tarantino did to Samuel Jackson. Though Jackson claims, he "conjugates verbs" and believes he's extremely intelligent? His career choices, prove otherwise. He spends less time "cogitating the fact" that his choice of roles = cultural impact. If he can "separate his choices" from his personal integrity - then Tarantino has won over a fool, with pay.
And like the rest of the "fools" in Hollywood? What it all comes down to - "work is work"..
#2 ... Well maybe the husband thought that opening up the condom package would be too noisy??
(just kidding)..
1) As for the pregnancy.. well, i was an EMT, and delivered a few kids.. It's not a quiet procedure at all - especially if you don't have full staff, and a surgery room. The noise of a child emerging from the uterus is quite loud.. A "slippery" noise of a human fetus separating from another human being. I don't know if the director knew this or not. He did have a child with Blunt, so i'm sure he must have dismissed this very critical detail.
2) If he was NOT in the operating room. Maybe he should have done his research.. There's plenty on YouTube..
3) I've been in the medical field for a long time. From EMT to higher levels. There was never a time, in my experience, let alone other physicians, where a woman didn't cry out in pain, or to grunt to push the kid out. Even if a woman has never been pregnant - they can tell you a least a bit what it's like when they have their monthly (cramps). And it's not something you can just "bear in silence" - if they don't have something to alleviate the pain..
4) She had great expressions? But even her moving around in the bathtub would have alerted the alien. Hell, if a walking raccoon on soft ground can get snatched.. then i'm sure a woman writhing around in a bathtub, can definitely get it's attention.
The beginning of the movie - i thought that was strange as hell, if the audience already knew the premise of the content, and the director has this kid zipping around the store, climbing up on shelves, and tipping stuff off accidentally. Well.. it's obvious he's trolling the suspense crap..
Also, when the deaf daughter, leaped down on her knees to catch the item, he tipped off the shelf? Sorry, she's no "banta" weight. Which means, if she pulled a "Gene Kelly" - dropped and slid on her knees to catch whatever he tipped over - that would have been the end of the movie right there..
Well,
all you have to do is read the other posts.. There's no need for the OP to have repeat what people are saying quite frequently.
Their statements are not grand, sweeping, nor broad. They're just summing up what everyone has already posted. There's no need to spoon feed you for "evidence".
I'm getting so sick of the production company's marketers/employees/fanatics/debaters/script writers coming onto these boards.. If you don't like what the OP stated, or what others have stated - just keep scrolling to something that suits your tastes..
(cheap porn, girlie picks and monster trucks are on the other websites)..
All i know was Peter Saasgard had that "southern gentlemen" accent on point..
And Gena Rowlands was outstanding in her role.
Either way,
There were young black kids getting yanked out of their homes to get lynched all the time. No one seemed to say anything about it, until they see two white kids getting the same treatment. Great job for the director to put this in the movie.
Also, whites used to dress up in their Sunday best to watch lynchings. Lynchings were also known as Barbecues if there was to be a torching as well.
Even worse? Before the person/child was lynched, they were sometimes castrated, or had their fingers cut off. If they were burned? The pieces were sold as souvenirs.
I also applaud the director, that for once? The black folks actually win in the end, instead of the other way around.
It was just a way of life down there.
i toured New Orleans every year for about a decade or so. After my first year, that's when it sank in. There are locals who have believed in this for generations.
Doesn't mean they're related. It's a common bond, or instilled in the community.
True..
Especially the earphones and fighting.. Seriously? I've seen guys get tangled up in the earphone cords while lifting weights..
I usually keep the sound down when i'm around people, especially in the gym.. But some folks have been known to walk up on you pretty close - even with the sound down, and it takes one off-guard.. Why? Because though, you might have a sense of "feeling" a person approach? Hearing them, can give one at least a 5 to 6 foot advantage..
Jessica? Is that you?
Get out of here..
She has those crazy eyes.. like scary, crazy eyes..
If i woke up, and saw someone looking at me like she did when she was looking at her "human", i'd head for the hills..
81. James Cromwell always has a falling out with the company that helps him invent his robots in all of his futuristic robot movies.
82. When James Cromwell, or anyone in a movie takes a cyanide pill, the director rushes in for a close-up..
80) James Cromwell invents robots and dies in all of his futuristic robot movies. (I, Robot, Surrogate)..
I like James Cromwell!
He's 6 foot, 7 inches!! Pretty damn tall - and talented!!
Have to agree with OP..
If Greer's decision was based on his screwed up relationship.. that's pretty selfish.
And there was also something else i noticed, that basically would have trashed the movie. Common sense. In order for the director to "build up the suspense" at the end?
He kept the fat guy handcuffed to a pole no more than 2 feet away from the terminals. If the Surrogate has the cuffs, obviously she has the key on her person. All Greer had to do was just un-cuff, or shoot the cuff chains.
I have a tendency to look at movies as "staged, vanity projects" anyway, and had to laugh at how long the director used to "build the suspense" while having the fat guy yelling in the back ground to make it even "more suspenseful".. it took over a minute and a half, for him to keep his finger near the yes button, maybe longer.
Then, the half/half adhesive duct tape.. Out of no-where there's the duct tape. In a high tech world... In a police dept.. The Surrogate manages to find duct tape that goes AAAAAAALLLL the way around the fat guy's head to stop his speech, and it never sticks to his hair...
Anyone ever play with duct tape? Get that crap near your hair, and you might as well have given your self a damn good "Brazilian Wax."
Then we have the Surrogate shooting off a fire arm in a residence, and no one hears or responds. Sorry.. But i lived in a high-end residential area where if kids shot off fire crackers, the cops were there within one minute. Only the head of police was the dirty cop. It was obvious near the end, that the other cops were not even aware of the dirty dealings of VSI. Thus, you can't debate that he suppressed AAAAALLLLL of the dispatchers from sending someone out to her house.
So, the director arbitrarily blasts us with news reports of shots fired and a helicopter crash in the reservation - but nothing about a cop getting killed in her sleep?
