<blockquote>I read that they also tried to get C. Thomas Howell and that apparently he rehearsed for 2 weeks before they decided to go with Eric Stoltz.</blockquote>
That proves that Zemeckis is an idiot.
C. Thomas Howell would've been the perfect second choice for Marty, he has all his qualities. He had much more of an everyman persona like MJF, while Stoltz was more of an intellectual, grounded type.
<blockquote>The point is that no matter what Zemeckis asked of Stoltz, he could not have come close to what Fox did.</blockquote>
Of course, MJF is the only Marty. I'm saying that Zemeckis & Gale don't need to pretend that Stoltz was giving the wrong performance. If that was the case they would've told him to change it. They don't need to lie. They thought he wasn't good enough and that's it, and they likely strung him along waiting for MJF, which wasn't fair on him. It would've been humiliating for Stoltz.
Pryor just wasn't a good actor. It's like he's almost semi comatose when he says his lines.
Christopher Reeve told everyone when it came out that he was nothing but problematic on set.
That's understandable. This film was tailor made for a female audience and it was in theatres for a year in some places.
some guy in my junior high class went to see it 4 times. For a guy to see it four fucking times (that's 13 hours worth of di crapio's shitty acting stinking out the joint), that's just disturbing behaviour. He didn't have a father though, raised by his single ma, so he was basically a woman anyway.
Same thing happening right now in Sweden, who took in more 3rd world trash per capita than anyone else. There's 'No go' areas everywhere full of gang violence, local swedish girls being harassed and groped on public transit and on the streets. Just the kind of multicultural utopia that wokesters dream of.
It's a woke remake of A New Hope. Nothing more.
That's because many films nowadays are being written by feminists or non whites, both of whom write with an agenda. If not, then it's some soy white guy writing from a woke checklist because he think it'll sell to a woke audience.
The reason why films were so legendary in the 60s-80s is because those kinds of hacks were kept well away from movies.
I welcome them making their own movies, it should be encouraged a lot more.
Every race should make their own cinema, thus we'd get to watch a decent film that won't be spoiled by tokens being shoehorned in because producers are scared that the woke police will get them for not being diverse.
But that won't happen, because white men make the best films, and non-whites always have to be in them or else they'll call them 'racist'.
<blockquote>When liberal Angela Merkel opened the door to one million (1,000,000) Muslims Germany was forever changed</blockquote>
Fitting that this is the 10th anniversary of merkel sending germany to hell by bringing in all that human garbage into the country.
Not surprising considering that Angela Merkel is an East German communist. What did the krauts think would happen if they put someone like her in charge of their country? The bitch couldn't even speak English fluently, she was worthless.
It's just Spielberg's overtly cheesy way of inserting a forced character arc for a crappily written character ie "oh look, the guy who was a pathetic wuss throughout the movie has finally plucked up some courage at the end and come full circle.... which somehow excuses leaving his comrade to be stabbed to death... er..."
Love this post haha.
This is why I've never liked SPR. The characters are 2D, they don't feel genuine like in Platoon. They're all caricatures and Corporal Upham was the original Jar Jar Binks. He ruins this film.
<blockquote>Directors can ask but they can't change an actor's skill</blockquote>
Stoltz obviously feels that Zemeckis was using an excuse to get rid of him. They didn't want him, he was a second choice they were stuck with, and instead of telling him face to face that he wasn't good enough and that MJF was better, they pretended to him that he was just giving the wrong performance.
Stoltz could easily have played the part with more comedy, and Zemeckis could've guided him in that direction, but he had no intention of ever working Stoltz through his performance.
<blockquote> the number of directors who properly directed him in the '80s could be counted on one hand.
</blockquote>
Sounds like he's trying to pass the blame a bit. Despite Stoltz's considerable talent he still picked some duds along with auditioning for big films like Philadelphia but not getting it, and that can't really be blamed on directors.
True.
If she's associated with Weinstein then that means she screwed him and got a career in return.
I think he's funnier than Will Ferrell and makes better films than him as well.
Of course they cried. Their homeland went from a paradise under apartheid to a crime-ridden shithole when it ended.
You can find pictures of the aftermath of south african farm murders. They don't just murder them, they make them and their families suffer. That's exactly why apartheid existed.
Being called a racist means nothing in this day and age. It's a natural response to what's happening to every country in the west.
Your grandkids will be wondering why more white people weren't racist when they grow up in a society surrounded by people that hate them.
<blockquote>What's the difference between this and other comedies that came before it like Police Academy, Animal House, Anchorman, Old School, The Hangover, Dodgeball, the Jackass movies, Napoleon Dynamite, Borat, Superbad, Road Trip, The Big Lebowski, Office Space?</blockquote>
With the exception of Animal House & Police Academy, those are all 90s and 00s movies, which is when cinema started to go into decline.
Yes. Watch Major League instead.
