Personally, I liked this movie idea that apparently got scrapped: Batman vs. Superman. I remember Conan O'Brien talking about it and saying something to the effect of "That would be the most lopsided fight ever. It would be a two-second movie. I mean, Superman is super-strong, super-fast, flies, x-ray vision, super EVERYTHING... and Batman works out a lot (claps)." If it did come out, I think I would've noticed.
Wolfgang Petersen was going to direct, but Warners decided to go reboot both the Batman and Superman franchises on their own before going with a VS. movie and Petersen went off to make Troy instead.
8 Mile is no way on par with idiotic **** like Crossroads, it is actually decent and at least watchable.
8 Mile is the rap version of Flashdance. It's kind of like certain rap songs where you just take another famous song's music and then rap over it. 8 Mile just takes another movie's plot and changes the details.
I liked 8 miles. But yes ideas do get recycled, 8 mile is like rap version of Flashdance, the Passion is Brave Heart with greater emphasis on the torture scene, Bowline for Columbine is the liberal version of propaganda/documentry videos of the 40's and fifties, and is there any major difference between sleepless in seattle, you got mail, and the affair to remember in which the first later two were based? Btw, most stupid movie idea. A movie about a ship that everyone knows will sink. But hey it's the number 1 selling movie of all time.
8 Mile was stupid for no other reason than it's song. "You only get one shot" unless you're Eminem's character in the movie who got more than one shot.
strange. . . . another Wayans Movie. . . but the worse is: WHITE CHICKS and Soul Plane looks stupid as well Rocket River
Could it be worse than the THE LAST DON bye Percy????? I mean I read the main character's name . .. . NINO CORLEON Rocket River
That's the first thing I thought of when I read the thread title. Who better to go undercover as white women than black men?
Imagine the uproar if some white comedians made a movie in which they appear as african american women and call it "Black Chicks" and use every stereotype associated with the african american race.
there was a rumor on movie sites back in the mid to late 90's that said Spike Lee was planning on bringing Clutch City to the silver screen...about the 95 Rockets...Travolta as Tomjanovich...Damon Wayans as Drexler. that's all i remember...said lee really wanted to do a cool team sports story and thought the 95 rockets were amazing. apparently there was a script ready to go. obviously didn't happen.
Guys... Stupid movie IDEAS, not stupid movies. Most stupid movie ideas are usually found in sequels, which is why my vote goes to "The Whole Ten Yards." Why was this sequel needed? The Hungarian mob, a dentist, and a hit man? No thanks. I'd say the original "The Whole Nine Yards" was the dumbest idea I've ever heard, but then they went out and actually made a sequel, which obviously claims the prize. "From Justin to Kelly" also comes to mind. First off, the happy-go-lucky singing movie genre is dead. Second off, using American Idol contestants, whom have never acted before AND can't sing all that well, is just ridiculous.
I heard about this slapstick comedy in production about a minor league hockey gm that becomes a NBA gm and tries to make a trade to get rid of one of the top scorers in the league. Oh wait, there is a real life idiot like that.
