All of these titles you're all suggesting would've been better than just calling it Halloween. I don't know why they would do that. I think it's so stupid. It's like coming right out and saying "We couldn't come up with anything." Simply calling it Halloween is stupid. They claim it's a sequel. It takes place after the first one. Then why call it Halloween? I'm surprised this franchise is even still alive. A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th are dead. I love the movie Halloween. it's one of my all-time favorite horror movies, but enough is enough.
I don't know. Judging by the trailers it seems like the movie is pretty much about him. They even say, "The only thing more extraordinary than their music is his story." I don't know how sanitized the movie is. I don't even know what the movie will be rated. But I do know that Queen's music appeals to everyone. I know a lot of kids and young aspiring artists that love Queen. Maybe they wanted to make a movie everyone could enjoy. I'm curious to see the story, but I'd see the movie for the music alone. I'm looking forward to seeing the Live Aid concert scene. It's probably going to feel like you're actually there.
Cohen wanted to show all the dirt and Queen told him no way. I'm sure the movie won't make Freddie out to be a saint, but Cohen wanted to show all of the dirt and he wanted to focus too much on Freddie's sex life. I don't mind learning about his life story, but I want the movie to focus more on his music career. Freddie Mercury was a rock star. If they made a movie about a fireman, I think it's safe to say the movie would focus on the protagonist putting out fires, right? The movie's main focus wouldn't be what drugs he did or who he slept with. You would think.
I agree. I'd love to see a David Bowie movie.
I can see why James Dean did. I love her accent too. The actress that plays her in the James Dean biopic with Franco looks absolutely nothing like her.
I saw part of San Francisco. I missed the ending with the earthquake. I did catch Naughty Marietta. I got to see when she is singing Sweet Mystery of Life. Check out my post on the message board for The Phantom of the Opera (1943). I mentioned Jeanette on there.
Interesting. Thanks. Stallone did a hell of a job. If you really want to get technical about it, Stallone made Dolph Lundgren.
I noticed they got every detail right with how they made Malek up. Even the way Freddie Mercury's teeth were.
Malek looks like he did a great job. Just from what I've seen on the trailers it looks like he nailed it. Be glad Cohen didn't play Freddie. He was dismissed for a reason. He wanted to make Freddie Mercury look bad. Queen told him no thank you.
It sounds like he's trying to do a NY accent.
Agree 100%.
I think Tom Cruise would've been a good choice for Jonathan.
You know what? I completely agree with everything you said.
I agree completely. Especially on Chris Klein being believable as a tough guy. It's such a joke. This was John McTiernan at his worst. I don't know what he was thinking. I was just watching the original Rollerball recently. For some strange reason they keep showing both versions back to back on TV. I can't believe what a train wreck the movie turned out to be. I have to put most of the blame on McTiernan. If he rejected a better script in favor of the stupid shit we got in the end, it's on him. But Chris Klein would've been my last choice to play Jonathan. Actually no, I wouldn't have even considered him. What made them think he would've been a good choice?
Yeah, I heard McTiernan rejected the original script that was better. I can't believe he directed such a bad movie. This was the same guy that directed Predator and Die Hard? I also agree on the rink design. Everything was stupid. The ending was stupid too. In the original, Jonathan was violent, but he didn't go on a killing spree like he did in the remake. They got so carried away with the ending with the blood and violence. The slow motion in the end was stupid too. Also, they couldn't even give us a good love scene with Rebecca Romijn. It was about two seconds long.
I read that was never the director's intention. Bateman couldn't get caught. If you notice, he keeps getting mistaken for someone else. He's called Marcus at one point, Mr. Smith. His own lawyer in the end doesn't even know him. He calls him Davis and he doesn't know that he's really Patrick Bateman. When he tells him he had dinner with Paul Allen twice in London, it probably wasn't even Paul Allen. I even think Dafoe mentions to Bateman that someone claimed to have seen Paul Allen, but it turned out to be a mistake. Hope this helps.
Well, he certainly had no problem taking a life. He shows emotion in the end when his brother gets shot though. It's like in Face/Off. Castor Troy seems inhuman, but then he gets all emotional when his brother is laying there dead. Evil to the bone? I'd say someone like Patrick Bateman is evil to the bone. Evil through and through. He didn't care about anyone.
I'm sure it was his orders.
He didn't need him anymore.
