worse , “3 strikes” relies much too heavily on multiple repetitions of gags that aren’t especially funny the first time around . antonio fargas plays a minor character who exists only to periodically — and noisily — break wind while everyone around him reacts to the olfactory assault . when a comedy needs this many fart jokes to get laughs , it’s safe to assume that something is seriously amiss .

despicable me 3 is full of references and the empire strikes back joke is just one of the more interesting ones pointed out by youtube channel flicks and the city . the movie makes other references to everything from raiders of the lost ark to the marx brothers classic duck soup , a film reference that many of the adults in the audience are likely to miss . you might not even notice doctor nefario in that shot as he ' s almost hiding , and while he looks to be frozen in something that looks more like standard ice , the pose is impossible to overlook .

if you saw despicable me 3 this weekend , and based on the box office numbers it would appear you did , you probably noticed several easter eggs and in - jokes throughout the film . however , did you notice this particular star wars reference ? the supporting character of doctor nefario , voiced by russell brand , has appeared in all of the despicable me films , but while the character had a significant part in the fist two installments , his appearance here is fairly quiet . sometime since the last movie nefario has apparently frozen himself in carbonite , in a similar position to han solo at the end of star wars : the empire strikes back . check him out in the upper left corner of the image below .
half the fun of disney’s zootopia — the animation studio’s record - setting highest - grossing film since frozen — is in the rich visual atmospheres surrounding the anthropomorphized action of the film’s crime - solving duo , bunny cop judy hopps ( ginnifer goodwin ) and her sly fox partner , nick wilde ( jason bateman ) .
“3 strikes” is not exactly zippy in its pacing . none of the characters — not even detective jenkins ( david alan grier ) , the primary cop on rob’s trail — appear to be in much of a hurry to get anywhere or do anything . late in the movie , there’s a scene in which rob is pursued by lapd officers , swat marksmen and surly attack dogs while he’s on his way to surrender in full view of tv news cameras . this may be the slowest chase of its kind since the cops dogged o . j . simpson in his bronco .

i first watched this movie after it was released . i thought it was hilarious from the start & well thought out . if you enjoyed friday , next friday or friday after next , you will love this movie . you have to have an open mind to watch this movie , as it is full of coarse language , drug use & sexual innuendos . heaps of good r & b music to add to the overall feel of the movie . brian hooks stars as the hapless ex - con who is trying to make a clean break & avoid going to jail for life if he gets another strike , i . e . 3 strikes . he doesn ' t try too hard to stay out of trouble as it seems to find him at every turn & with the so - called friends he has , they will surely help him back to jail quickly . a few cameo appearances by famous actors such as monique , hilarious as usual , george wallace & antonio fargas . overall the movie is a riot & the out - takes at the end are as funny as the movie . it was made to poke fun at the ' 3 strikes ' ruling , so sit back & enjoy .
this was the banlieue where la haine had been filmed , and i was here with my friend , producer geoff bird , to make a radio 4 programme , twenty years of hate , looking back at what it meant . our starting point was that the film could not have been made without the people around here , many of whom had featured in the film . we wanted to know how they felt about the film , its historic significance , and what , if anything , had changed since then .
disney’s first standalone star wars film , set between revenge of the sith and a new hope , is finally here . rogue one ’s sort - of - prequel status allows it to tie in with other star wars stories , from the core series to spinoffs like rebels , giving eagle - eyed fans plenty to search for throughout the film .
despicable me 3 won the box office last weekend but the film will have a hard time doing that two weeks in a row with sony ' s spider - man : homecoming set for release . the next chapter in the marvel cinematic universe is almost guaranteed to put up huge numbers , however , it ' s the international box office that has made the despicable me franchise what it is , so expect those numbers to keep climbing .
. year - to - date is a little less useful , as 2016 is only 3 days old , but it is 27 % higher than 2015 was after the first weekend . this is even more impressive , as 2015 had an extra day before the weekend .
yeah , universal has despicable me 3 in two weeks , but pixar / disney and illumination have always done well side - by - side . again , the movie will sell loads of merchandise . more valuable for the franchise , and for pixar itself , is the swell of initially relatively positive reviews . much of the consternation over the deluge of pixar sequels , both recent past and near future , is the fear that they will be closer in quality to cars 2 than toy story 3 . while no one is arguing that cars 3 reaches all - time classic levels , its high quality offers hope for the likes of the incredibles 2 and toy story 4 as well as hope that the company that redefined top - tier animated entertainment in a computer - animated age still has the potential to surprise .
that may not be accurate or fair , but what this means is that i would argue that positive reviews are more valuable for cars 3 than big box office . truth be told , cars 3 is probably going to do well here and abroad . the prior two films were popular with kids and frankly , they play fine for those wanting a kid - friendly babysitter or for those who don ' t demand that every pixar film be a scorching dark knight of the every - dying soul - type experience . captain underpants didn ' t really perform to regular dreamworks animation standards , so there is a lull in the animation marketplace since the boss baby ( also dwa ) was 2 . 5 months ago .
’s opening friday . the studio expects the film to earn in the mid - to high - $ 90 million range , which puts it on pace for approximately $ 200 million . if the film doesn’t get to $ 200 million over the weekend , then it will be more front - loaded than we anticipated and more front - loaded than the
franchise . however , they reportedly had to reshoot 70 % of the movie , which lifted the price to $ 250 million . the box office needed to break even during the film’s initial push into the home market rose from about $ 500 million to $ 650 million . and with an initial international debut of $ 65 . 0 million in 54 markets , this film is just not going to get there . the unending talk of behind - the - scenes trouble seems to have hurt the film’s box office chances and even its
’s $ 132 million debut . in spite of these awesome stats , there’s about as much negative press for the film as positive , and some of it not entirely fair .

the cannes international film festival is the most talked - about film festival of the year , where directors from around the world showcase their newest work , from the most challenging art cinema to the big blockbusters . for many years , roger ebert and a team of contributors have covered cannes , and we are continuing that tradition with start - to - finish coverage from around the festival .
disney / pixar’s third cars film ends , as plenty of sequels do , with a thematic passing of the torch , accompanied by the discovery of a promising new role for our protagonist . in the case of lightning mcqueen , the ending of cars 3 finds owen wilson’s aging racer taking up a sudden new position as de facto coach and crew chief for cruz ramirez ( cristela alonzo ) , who comes into her own as a racer and speeds to victory under lightning’s cool guidance in the finale .
, the higher end appears to be more likely than the lower end . previously , $ 200 million was the target for the film’s opening weekend , but now $ 210 million to $ 225 million is within reach . furthermore , it is expected to top that during its opening weekend internationally leaving the film with a slim chance at $ 500 million worldwide . on the downside , the film likely cost that much to make and advertise , so it needs to be a $ 1 billion hit worldwide to break even in a timely fashion . fortunately , no one really thinks that will be a problem . in fact , a lot of people are assuming the film will earn $ 1 billion internationally , while most won ' t be shocked if it reaches $ 2 billion worldwide .
the film isn’t so much a rebuttal to the copious “is pixar doomed ? ” think pieces that have flooded the internet since cars 2 as much as it is a passionate defense of the cars franchise as an artistic enterprise that happens to move a lot of merchandise , as opposed to vice versa . and , without going into details , the film argues that reliable moneymakers like cars 3 allow would - be risks like ratatouille , inside out and up to be less risky . but beyond metaphor and parable , it is a mostly solid character drama , one that lays off the car puns , pop - culture references and frantic action that marred ( in varying degrees ) the first two films .
could help it break records over the weekend . it has already broken some box office records , becoming the first film to reach $ 100 million in advance ticket sales . the other wide releases are
kanchana 2 is the third film in the horror - comedy franchise . raghava has acted in as well as directed all the parts . taapsee pannu and nithya menen play important roles in kanchana 2 .
yep , even the force got to awaken in zootopia , but the slight homage to star wars is decidedly more retro in its callback . “there’s a nod to star wars when judy is trying to get the train car moving , ” moore points out . “she turns on the power , and the car dies , and she gives it a whack à la the millennium falcon , and it comes back to life , à la the empire strikes back . there’s all sorts of film references . we layer it all in . we spent years doing the movie , so we had time to do it ! ”
without going into spoilers , the film walks a very fine line between being empowering and being patronizing . however , with the important note that the movie is written to be appreciated by young children , cars 3 serves as a reminder that all the “you can do anything ! ” cheerleading doesn’t mean a darn thing if the would - be gatekeepers don’t offer opportunities to those disenfranchised demographics . even if the film’s finale tries to have its cake and eat it too , it works as a rebuttal to the standard underdog sports story , just as the end of monsters university worked as a rebuttal to the whole “if you want something badly enough , you can succeed beyond your wildest dreams” tropes so prevalent in kids flicks .
one of the earliest elements of the original script for the empire strikes back was an appearance of darth vader’s lair , known as bast castle . concept artist ralph mcquarrie had illustrated the structure , which was later incorporated into other stories in rebels . a more imposing version of the castle is a minor location in rogue one . director krennic stops by to brag about his work on the death star to vader .
think back to attack of clones where obi wan and anakin chase padme ' s would be assassin to the bar . after obi wan strikes with his light saber a white haired man is shown . this is none other than anthony daniels , that actor who plays c3po . oh my ! ahmed best is in the scene too but best not to mention that too loudly in case the jar jar haters are listening

the image of han solo frozen in carbonite in star wars : the empire strikes back has become so iconic that it ' s a frequent reference for any comedy that ' s looking to make viewers think of star wars . you ' ll find it in a lot of cartoons and a surprising number of video games . you can even buy a refrigerator that has the image of frozen han solo on the front .
this was the first film so there was not a real tendency to cast people in the know by way of self referential cameos . except for one . joe johnston donned a storm trooper costume for a couple of scenes . johnston of course was responsible for designing the tie fighter and other space ships for the film . he went on to become a fairly good director in his own right most notably captain america .

since he started as film critic for the chicago sun - times in 1967 , and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals , roger ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols , artists and unknowns - - some of them even before they became famous . there ' s hardly a major figure in the history of movies , from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st , that he hasn ' t encountered .
the title has nothing to do with baseball , by the way , so don’t expect to see kevin costner or ken griffey jr . among the victims of fargas’ gas attacks . “3 strikes” refers to california’s controversial law that requires a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life for anyone convicted of a third felony . rob douglas ( brian hooks ) is introduced as a two - time loser who’s determined to walk the straight and narrow after he’s released from l . a . county jail . but on the day of his release , rob is picked up by a buddy , j . j . ( de’aundre bonds ) , who’s driving a stolen car , and when j . j . is pulled over by a police cruiser , the car thief responds by firing his gun at the cops .
the road to success has been rocky for cars , but it has , inelegantly , managed to maneuver it . and as a standalone piece of filmmaking , cars 3 makes the best decision it possibly could have : it makes a hasty u - turn from all that spy nonsense , returns to its roots , and drives the series back onto a race track . unlike the first film — which is more a victim of unreal expectations set by members of its family than anything else , and cars 2 , which is indefensibly forgettable — this movie is a joy .
no , don’t take that headline to suggest that the crash you’ve seen in all the trailers is a fatal spoiler that sees lightning mcqueen go the way of the cassette player . but the question of what happens next in the cars franchise — and whether we’ll ever see it — is a fairly good question to ask once you’ve seen cars 3 .
on the way to maz kanata ' s castle on takodana , when the falcon began to malfunction , the mechanically savvy rey , who was sitting in the cockpit to the right of solo , made a modification to the ship by simply bypassing a faulty compressor . later , the falcon crew arrived at takodana and met maz kanata .

the dtox - 32 breakout panel is the ideal extension for digital multichannel interfaces . it includes two sets of d - sub to 4 x xlr male and 4 x xlr female each , replacing common breakout cables d - sub to xlr by a professional , solid , stable rack - mounted system . dtox - 32 is pin - compatible to tascam ( = rme ) and yamaha formats .
the first 20 minutes of d - tox seem like the end to another film . it ' s the climax where the serial killer finally targets the protagonist . after those 20 minutes the film begins to show the aftermath of such events . unfortunately , rather than being an in depth drama , the aftermath is a slasher movie scenario . a group of cops enter a d - tox center , each one has character traits , instantly recognizable to the genre . the mystery is revealed at a steady pace and i didn ' t guess the culprit . i also liked dutton ' s small scenes away from the action . he was like scatman crothers in the shining . stallone gives a very decent performance , handing the high emotion at the beginning and the action and thrills . certainly more enjoyable than it ' s box - office intake would indicate .
the rme dtox - 16 breakout panels are the perfect rack solutions for interconnecting multichannel xlrs with the common d - sub connector format . three different versions are available : dtox - 16 i , dtox - 16 o and dtox - 16 i / o . dtox - 16 connects up to 16 xlr inputs or outputs ( xlr neutrik connectors ) with two d - sub 25 - pin connectors .

to understand how ana - d - tox works , you have to first understand how exactly colouring products damage your hair . similar to a tree that has a bark as an outer covering , the cuticle is the outer covering for our hair shaft . in order for colour to penetrate through the cuticle , it has to be lifted up . all hair colouring products include some chemical or the other that lift up the cuticle to deposit colour into the cortex ( inner layer of a strand of hair ) .

dressed all in black , sylvester stallone looks a youthful 52 . despite his age , the still rugged star scoffs at the idea that he is too old running around and shooting people as he does in the hokey new hollywood thriller d - tox . “you kidding me ? ” he questions laughingly . “do these look old to you ? ” he refers to his muscles which he clearly enjoys flexing . it’s part of the game which stallone loves to play . whether he is promoting a film about which he is passionate or one that he admits isn’t’ perfect , stallone knows how to play the room . he does so with a charming perfection .
different perhaps the mentality that kept stallone at the top of his game for two decades , through the successes of both the rocky and rambo franchises , and the failures of the likes of rhinestone , stop , or my mom will shoot , and even last year’s multi - million dollar fiasco , driven . yet somehow stallone manages to rise through it all and his next film could be another cop land . but on d - tox , stallone knew what he was getting into and was eager to embrace a fresh genre . yet the actor defends the film’s international release , arguing that “americans have a different perception of films , as opposed to europeans and australians , who are a little bit broader based in their tastes . ”

to understand how ana - d - tox works , you have to first understand how exactly colouring products damage your hair . similar to a tree that has a bark as an outer covering , the cuticle is the outer covering for our hair shaft . in order for colour to penetrate through the cuticle , it has to be lifted up . all hair colouring products include some chemical or the other that lift up the cuticle to deposit colour into the cortex ( inner layer of a strand of hair ) . but the problem here , is that is once you’ve disturbed the cuticle , the damage has already begun , because the cuticle is not meant to be lifted up . and the longer the colour is penetrating into your open cuticle and hair shaft , the longer the chemical has to attack and wreak havoc on your open cuticle and hair shaft by weakening and damaging them .
yet even using that argument , a stallone film that takes some 2 years to hit cinemas , is a rarity , and the actor has no real answer . “i think they were just taken aback and didn’t quite know how to perceive it and i think it was done they were just extremely nervous about the whole thing . ” stallone’s jack molloy in d - tox is an fbi agent with a drinking problem , that ensued following the brutal murder of his fiancé at the hands of a deranged serial killer who targets cops , and molloy in particular . now a drunk , he joins nine other troubled law enforcement officers at an isolated detox clinic in the wilds of wyoming . but the therapeutic sanctuary becomes a nightmarish hellhole when a major snowstorm cuts off the clinic from the outside world and enables a killer on the inside to get busy . he may be molloy’s initial nemesis .
put sylvester stallone in a bad friday the 13th rip - off and the result is d - tox , another cynically exploitative return to the well of stalk - and - slash clichés that director jim gillespie previously trawled dry in i know what you did last summer . after failing to catch the vicious serial killer responsible for the death of his girlfriend , homicide detective jake malloy ( stallone ) goes on an alcoholic bender and ends up in a detox programme for cops at a remote , snowbound facility in wyoming . and , surprise , surprise , that ' s where the sadistic assassin is masquerading as one of the betty ford - style boozehounds . derivative , nasty and just plain stupid ( for starters , no one in their right mind would ever agree to be incarcerated in this mini - alcatraz ) , this incompetent and obnoxious dud doesn ' t even have unintentional laughs to keep boredom at bay .

sadly , all the sweetness that was the first block of the film got flushed down to the bottom of the shitter once the narrative hit the remote rehab clinic . first , i’d just like to say : what kind of moronic clinic is this ? it has no security whatsoever ( what if an officer snapped ? ) , it’s in the middle of nowhere , it ' s run by kris kristofferson ( you’re asking for trouble there ! ) and it looks like a depressive left over set from

. is this the kind of environment that will help cheer up suicidal , alcoholic , violent cops ? shite . . . in their shoes , i’d take one step in , absorb my surroundings and immediately proceed to blow my head off on the spot . fuck that noise ! to make matters worse , the events that unravel at the rehab come with heavy doses of plot holes , un - imagination and a very standard finale . but believe it or not , those are the least of this movie’s faults .

synopsis : fbi agent jake malloy ( sylvester stallone ) has the task of tracking down a vicious serial cop killer , who has already killed nine officers . when he next strikes itís jakeís girlfriend , mary ( dina meyer ) , and jake takes it badly , sliding down depression alley on a bottle . finally , his buddy and colleague agent charlie hendricks ( charles s . dutton ) convinces him to try spending some time in a secluded and select de - tox bunker in the wyoming wilderness , specially for cops , run by a former cop , doc ( kris kristofferson ) . but the killing starts again , right inside this snow - bound , blizzard - beaten cop - zone .
it ' s almost becoming a second thing i ' m looking forward to . film that shit and get it on youtube . even cheap video cameras have a macro focus function . and stallone - keep the balloon busting stories of the hollywood phoneys you ' ve worked with coming ! i ' m betting he ' s been wanting to get that shit off his chest for a loooong time . i ' d also love to hear about his relationship with hulk hogan , since he did hogan ' s wrestling hall of fame speech , i ' m guessing they ' ve remained in touch since thunderlips .
. . . that stallone has managed to win the hearts of perhaps the most vindictive , venomous and merciless online subculture on the planet . when i first heard of this little aicn venture i winced while imagining the torrent of bile which would result in the talkbacks . frankly , judging by the hate and ridicule on display in most of the previous rocky balboa talkbacks , the notion wasn ' t far - fetched . that having been said , i ' d love to see stallone - hater cocolopez make a comeback so that we could all enjoy sly beating his ass to a pulp . come on , coco , i know you ' re out there in the wings just waiting for the right venue for your return .
i would agree , except that a ) sly has shown that he does read these talkbacks , b ) sly isn ' t exactly your average hollywood doofus . so moto is just laying is cards out to see if it works . i mean , why not ? not like anything bad can come of it , except a few harsh talkbackers comments ( i get enough of those whenever i bash battlestar galactica in the heroes talkbacks . . . heroes owns bg ! ! ) but anyway , i just graduated film school , i have a few opportunities popping up , but nothing big , and if i had a script that was stallonish , shit , maybe i ' d be pimping myself out on aicn as well . but hey , i ' m working on a low budget horror film in seattle in february . . . sigh . . .
lol . that was going to be my p . s . but i figured i was crossing the line already : ) * * * * * * * * * * * * * regarding the post , i ' ll say this , i ' m sure i ' m not the first to pimp myself to a filmmaker at aicn , and i ' d be thrilled to be the last for their sake , but taking chances like that got me representation after years of struggle , which led to meetings with studios , open doors , and a small development deal with a big company . granted , a hundred other chances never got me anything . but , gotta feed the wife and kid so pride takes a backseat in this biz . hopefully i can get to the stage where i can help others . so to all , believe and take chances when opportunities arise . no shame . okay moto , stop talking .
hey folks , harry here - first - i ' d like to apologize for saturday ' s questions not getting up on saturday . merrick was supposed to do that - but apparently he must ' ve had something that came up that kept him from doing it . i ' m too euphoric from bnat to be mad though . holy shit ! rocky balboa is possibly my favorite film experience of the year . the audience chanting rocky . . . people pumping arms in the air in the theater , sceaming
rocky rocky rocky !
stallone looking like edgar rick burrough ' s mucker or john ford ' s gypo nolan . i love rocky balboa so much . i simply have to see it multiple times to see if that emotion and reaction from the audience works on me again and again . ab king - prepare for both your heads to explode like a testosterone fountain at george cukor ' s mansion back in the day . well - here ' s stallone with both saturday ( yesterday ' s ) and sunday ( today ' s ) drink up !
clearly , hollywood ' s confidence in this film is lower than pee - wee herman ' s oscar chances , and their instincts are right : a boring , formulaic mix of serial killers and stalk ' n ' slash , this will not reinvigorate sly ' s action hero status or loosen his maniacal destruction of the quality control button .
stallone plays homicide cop jake malloy , whose partner and his wife have been offed by a serial killer . hitting the bottle , he is sent to a remote , isolated rehab clinic for cops . the self - pity is going nicely when , suddenly , other patients start dying horribly , leaving our boy sly to find the killer . could it be the same one who wasted his nearest and dearest ? answers on a postcard , please . . .
directed in painfully generic fashion by jim gillespie ( no stranger to the genre , courtesy of teen slasher
i know what you did last summer
) , the first part of the movie sets up a chilling , claustrophobic atmosphere . this is promptly swamped by the
scream
wannabe that proceeds to lay waste to any chances of quality .
plagued with poorly developed , cut - out characters ( the gung - ho maverick , the coward , the twitchy one ) , and a killer sporting a deliriously shallow motivation , you are never inclined to care about any of them . the talented cast are all victims to the surrounding histrionics .
if this had been released two years ago , it would have been an unremarkable copy . now , with its inspirations (
scream
,
se7en
) merely derivatives hugely copied elsewhere , its utterly desperate and pedestrian features cannot be easily hidden .
once upon a time sylvester ‘sly’ stallone , the poor , abused kid from new york’s hell kitchen , was a proud member of hollywood’s elite . but these days , hollywood may have turned his back on the oscar winning creator of rocky balboa .
beyond angelo , opening here in may , stallone hopes to resuscitate his beloved rocky . “it’s true that i’ve written a story for rocky vi , ” sly concedes . “this one will hopefully bring forward rocky’s more spiritual side . i really love this character , he’s a part of me and i’m longing to bring him back . there are guys my age who still box , after all . ” stallone is even prepared to get back to the tough physical regiment required to shoot another rocky . “it’s brutal , very tough , but i’ll do what is necessary to make it real . ” as for the rambo v rumour , stallone wants it known that “rambo is dead and buried . i want it known i’m not going after bin laden or anyone else for that matter . ”
always sly , it’s good to see that michael sylvester enzio stallone , is not taking himself too seriously after all .

you ' re not even taking the weekends off for this . thanks a lot !
i have a pacman frog that i feed about a half dozen crickets to every other day . usually the frog just devours all those stupid aimless bugs within a minute of me dropping them in . but there ' s this one cricket that ' s survived in there for 2 weeks now ! literally six waves of feedings later , it ' s still just him left over in the tank with the frog . i ' ve been calling him rambo cricket . survival instincts . you should see this little guy . he ' ll actually wait for the frog to turn away , then sneak his way to the water , drink , and quick pounce back into the brush . even hopped off the frog ' s head once on the way back to safety , adding insult to injury . the frog can ' t catch him at all ! this cricket is amazing . he is rambo . . . . even dug some trenches as escape paths . i basically have two pets now , the frog and rambo cricket , because they are co - existing in the tank indefinately . i ' ll let you know when he ' s finally caught .
man , i have to say that i have really enjoyed reading stallone ' s interview comments ! he is incredibly witty and the comments are very endearing to me . definitely gives him a lot of personality in my mind that i didn ' t know . not his normal interview stuff you would find in any magazine or celebrity gossip . this is such a great tribute to the star to do this . thanks to stallone and to harry for putting this together .
my sister randomly bought me a bunch of those new rocky figures a while ago . she got me rocky , adrian , paulie , apollo , and that big slab of hanging meat that rocky punches . so the weakest out of that group is either apollo or the hanging meat , right ? ? : p i still need a drago figure though . it ' s not complete without him .
btw . . . this interview sealed the deal for me and i will definitely go see this rocky movie as well as rent the ones that i didn ' t see . i have a great respect for a star that will gives the fans respect like this to answer our questions in this way , and honestly . see you in the theatre !
didn ' t tiny terror danny cannon want to do a director ' s cut of judge dredd ? i remember reading an article about that years ago on aicn .
thank you sly for giving us these amazing insights into the life of a star . i especially liked the bit about sharon stone . . . i didnt like her anyway , not to mention richard gere ! hahaha but what i like the most is that my perception of you has gotten so much better . i allready had seen a documentary on the making of rocky and i remember allready being thoroughly impressed but now i will never forget you are one cool dude ! afterthought : what would movie news be like if everyone was as honest like sly about movie experiences ?
i wasn ' t even that big of a stallone fan , but he ' s so likeable and disarmingly honest . great guy . for those of you in the uk , copland is on at 2255 on bbc1 . . . grab a beer !
has the best open then 15 minutes in just falls apart . i really wanted to love this film but somrthing was off about it . the sets and fx were top for the time . i wonder if danny yelled the
fear me
line on csi lol . my first job was working at a theater that showed rocky all summer so i ' ve seen that film over 100 times . watching rocky that many times showed me that a film could have techical flaws and rough edges but still be loved because the story carried the movie while judge dredd while near perfect from a techical stand point had a story that didn ' t hold up to one viewing . gotta have heart ! thanks for the many hours of enjoyment mr . stallone : )
what with his pretend tap dancing and all . and gibsonusa , don ' t let that cricket die . he ' s proved his worth . he at least deserves to be set free if you don ' t want to keep him .
i thought we might get a review with this too . . . a nice payment since # 9 wasn ' t posted on time . give us great details man !
these q & as have truly been some of the most enjoyable reads ever on aicn . kudos to harry & co . for hooking this up . < p > i ' ve always found sly to be a genuine , straight shooter with an incredibly sharp wit . i remember watching certain
tonight show
appearances and thinking that it would be great if sly would play more characters like himself . the guy just exudes charm and his self - deprecating sense of humor is spot - on . how could ya not like the guy who gave us not only the greatest underdog character of all time but memorable quotes such as this :
my , what a nice day , i think i’ll go outside and beg for food .
? : ) < p > mr . stallone : thanks a ton for doing this q & a . bring on
rocky balboa
. cheers !
i sprinkled some white powder onto rambo cricket to ruin his camoflauge so the frog can see him better . it worked . now the frog sees him clearly , but still can ' t get to him . what the cricket does when he ' s spotted is he clings onto this thin vertical vine , keeping the width of the vine in between him and the frog . wtf ? ? do crickets even have brains ? even when i push the cricket towards the frog with a straw he dodges it .
. . . is possibly the best thing to ever hit aicn . the candor and comedy of these responses is absolutely awe - inspiring . i ' m going to run out and buy an armful of stallone - dvds and hope that mr . stallone uses his next royalty check to buy himself a beer or a gummi bear or something . it ' s on me !
seriously . aicn should take all the questions , have stallone answer them , and then make a book . this is some good stuff . love it .
if he is white , paint another one black , then let them become firm friends , then reintroduce the frog . if i know my straight to video action flicks , frog will kill black cricket , white cricket will scream noooooooooo , and escape with a broken leg . he will then plot revenge and kill the frog . . . we may need a girl cricket as well . . .
this is how you do a q & a . james lipton pay attention and take your tounge out of all those actors arses . with your pseudo acting students , your fake tan , dyed beard , greasy strand of hair cue card mother fucker ! ! ! inside the actors studio . . . more like ' lets do a 1 hour suck up session ! ! ! ' and yeah ive read sharon stone is a massive bitch . who th fuck does she ethink she is . she only got famous for the beaver shot any way ! !
in rockys ii , iii , and iv , there ' s no defense . also , every punch is a haymaker . the hagler / hearns fight was like that , ' cept it only lasted two rounds . that ' s one of the reasons the sequels never approached your oscar winning ' 76 film . apollo / rocky i was a somewhat plausible , slightly exaggerated fight . also , how do you compare the original rocky to scorsese ' s raging bull ? i think the latter movie is a masterpiece .
this is a select group of assholes he is convincing to go to his movie . i guess as fan pr or something it is worth the investment and god bless him , i am enjoying it . i hope rocky balboa is a big fucking hit because i really really want to see rambo iv .
it is solid gold when we get the true and juicy stories , unexpurgated . more more more !
makes the action slow and not rocky - esque enough . a rocky game should play more like mike tyson ' s punch out ! ! series . in fact , a crossover nintendo punch - out ! ! game featuring rocky against all his opponents would be cool .
' cause it ' s giving me nose bleeds . the images he conjures up is simply priceless . ranking paulie ahead of apollo ,
can you get sick of it on someone else ' s film ?
if it gets on my pants you ' re gonna know about it
. . . that ' s just too f ' ing awesome .
the fox nfl pregame show was all over rocky today . they opened with scenes mixed with football , it was all good . i really am looking forward to the movie and hope it does well . i mean damn , mel punked this weekend , when the chips were down . this q / a is awesome and props to harry and sly . . . . . thanks !
and this is the most enjoyable thing you guys have ever done . mr stallone , you ' ve performed a miracle , i ' ve never seen such universal praise from talkbackers before . true class mate , keep em coming .
this just keeps getting better and better - - i ' m actually sad that we ' re over half way through . sly , i have a question for you : is there a reason for working with so many young directors ? did the material ' s worth outweigh reservations about the lack of experience for the director , or were you more interested in stretching yourself out to work with up and coming talent ? and i have to say thanks : tango and cash was the first 15 rated film my dad and i ever went to in a theater , cobra was the first 18 rated home movie i ever saw ( on betamax , no less ) and demolition man was a great experience to go and see with all my friends my first year in college . thanks for many years of fun times and great memories .
and if he does he shouldn ' t avenge the black one because it ' ll turn out that it was all a set up , you see . he and girl cricket and the frog just want rambo cricket to lead them to the money .
i soon lost all hope for future filmmaking with the onset of the 2000s yet the second half of this decade is making me have faith again , making me believe . . . i wonder if this can compare with the untouchable first - half 80s for blockbuster film ?
he was a pit - fighter who surived them all and eventually his owner knew he couldn ' t keep this warrior any more so he set him free . . . man that scene really made me feel heartfelt . do it for rambo circket the barbarian
i meant ' rambo ' not rocky . also throw the demolition man in there as well .
stallone : father of wwe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
hogan in rocky iii . few months later , saavy vince mcmahon makes him wwf champion . gone were the bland days of bob backlund . wrestling became a big ticket item . it needed one more thing , however . - - wrestlemania ! hogan , mr . t , jimmy snuka v . s . whoever in the main event . boxing was no longer pay - per - view king . pro wrasslin ' as we now know it , is a side - effect of the second rocky sequel . after rocky , you campaigned for the lead in superman : the movie . did richard donner talk to you about the role ? during assassins , was there any reminiscing about that time ?
the brutal honesty is terrific . you might say he ' s not pulling any punches . ha ! oh jeez .
personally , i think this is alittle demeaning for him . the brutal honesty is not refreshing . it ' s inappropriate , especially coming from someone of his stature . it sounds petty , and unneccessary . tarnishes him somewhat in my eyes . i ' ll always love rocky , though .
most sub films or films like that are all about miscomunication with a sub or an over the top captian with an ichy trigger finger and how the navy or whoever goes about to stop it with the hero saving the day at the last minute . not what actualy happens when a sub lets it ' s nuke fly and how they deal with the aftermath . i would deffintly see it . although this seems like a wierd place to put what you said and i read with an uncertain feeling that your in a dream world . but how can i know
don ' t read it then . most of us here , even non sly fans are enjoying this and can ' t wait for the next one . god i wish we could edit these things . i always notice my horrible spelling and grammer after i post . you would think 4 years of college and a year of grad school would fix that problem . but noooooo . . . . i just got dumber .
did no one else catch that ? i ' m sure he meant
life long fan
and language barriers facilitated the error , but still . that ' s a hilarious typo / freudian slip .
how can you love rocky and think that talking to fans is beneath stallone . you must be some kind of shallow dick ? ! but that wasn ' t an insult to stallone , that was an insult to all of us . not that it matters , cause you gotta be one immature person . why would you even say something like that ? what was the purpose ? to just be an asshole ?
lol professionalism and good ' ol common sense in the entertainment industry ? hehe . good one yack .
moto , screw the naysayers and do whatever it takes . yeah the industry is rife with assholes but on occasion opportunity does present itself . solicit away , my friend . best of luck .
jesus , don ' t leave us in the dark . keep us updated about rambo cricket ! !
not the worst idea i ' ve ever seen - - didn ' t van damme pretend to kick an exec in the throat during a lunch to get a break ? hell , if you managed to get anyone ' s interest , well done .
will we ever see the uncut version of the film ? the fight between snipes and sly at the end is cut to shreds , as phoenix evidently gets electrocuted at some point and there are a bunch of bad edits . did the budget run dry at the end of the film , because the explosion at the cryoprison is bad sfx . nigel hawthorne made it clear before he died that he took the role because he wanted to prove he could act in front of a camera - - his comments made it sound like he felt he was slumming , did you get that impression during shooting ? and , in a q & a with kevin smith moment , how the hell did you get a young sandra bullock in the movie and not get her to really flash her boobs ? ! ? : - )
good luck moto . p . s . since when has aicn been a cauldron of negativity for the film industry ? that line really made me laugh . . .
there ' s not much to update on rambo cricket . i already gave up on him lol . i ' ve tried to hit him like a golf ball with a straw to the frog . one of the last times i tried to get him eaten i actually hit him right in front of the frog ' s face . his front legs were actually on the frog . see , the thing with pacman frogs is that a lot of their senses seem based on movement . like , they will wait for the bug to start walking right before eating them . so the second rambo frog moved , he was lunch . . . but he didn ' t move ! ! he just posed there leaning on the frog , motionless . i left and came back , and they were still at that standoff . so i went to bed , and in the morning the frog was in a different spot , so i figured it was over finally . the day after that i came back with a new batch of crickets , look into the tank , and there ' s rambo cricket running into cover ! wtf ? ? i give up . he is too strong . he cannot be defeated .
