Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....two or three interesting posts and et all I see as I glance down the board is bullshit about STAR WARS or Spidey. Cannot we progress forward? Ok, well to excite you all, here is a neat back n forth between me and Fred "Robocop 3" Dekker;
brodiebruce405: Mr. Dekker?
brodiebruce405: Where'd you go yesterday? Me and Glen thought we'd pissed you off--or that you hated Always or something
FCDekker: It was a fine film! Any motion picture that includes dancing with cats is okay in my book.
brodiebruce405: hee
brodiebruce405: I thought it mighty funny
brodiebruce405: glen's written Always 2 (Bad idea I said) but it's quite funny. elabourate comes to mind
FCDekker: Although I thought you were Brits. The actor seemed as American as apple pie.
brodiebruce405: all I know is that James (the boy's name) can do what was SUPPOSED to be a BAD american accent, and he did this good one. I put on an American accent for the Always audio commentery (40 secs long, ask Glen about it-not worth the download)
FCDekker: Jesus, a commentary track for a film that barely starts before it's over?
FCDekker: You guys have too much time on your hands.
brodiebruce405: yup. That was the joke
brodiebruce405: too much time? Only 40 secs long....
brodiebruce405: Did you see 'Chasing Amy'?
FCDekker: Sadly, yes.
brodiebruce405: You didn't like? I can understand you not liking the stupidity of Rats but Amy is a fine intelligent piece of ass....er, work.
FCDekker: The acting still blows.
brodiebruce405: really?
brodiebruce405: I though Jason Lee was hysterical and Affeck is excellant.
FCDekker: Jason was better than in Mall Rats... but it's not a real movie. The emotions are fake.
FCDekker: It's juvenile.
brodiebruce405: Fair point
brodiebruce405: Clerks?
FCDekker: The least pretentious, most successful Kevin film, in my opinion.
brodiebruce405: You liked it, or didn't dislike it as much?
FCDekker: I liked it.
brodiebruce405: cool. I assume you didn't like Dogma or Strike Back.
FCDekker: It didn't exceed its scope.
brodiebruce405: which one?
brodiebruce405 wants to directly connect.
FCDekker's software does not support sending and receiving IM images.
FCDekker: I actually liked Jay & Silent Bob... but only as a Hollywood fanboy.
brodiebruce405: ah
FCDekker: Didn't see Dogma.
brodiebruce405: Dogma is good in a clerks kinda way. it's less 'deep' than Amy.
FCDekker: He still feels like an amateur to me, although I like his values and his comic writing.
brodiebruce405: His comics are good-Green Arrow especially.
brodiebruce405: I just found out Toxie was in Clerks.
FCDekker: Troma's Toxie?
brodiebruce405: Yup
FCDekker: NERD FANBOY!
brodiebruce405: The guy who played him in Toxic Avenger 1, but didn't do the voice, is the guy leaning against the wall in Clerks-when Dante shouts 'Try not to suck any dick on your way through the parking lot", Mitch Cohen (toxie) runs after Veronica and Dante says "Get back here!" Yes I ama nerd fanboy-I wrote a movie called Nerdz: The Musical
FCDekker: Nerd unite!
brodiebruce405: yup
brodiebruce405: It was an actual musical, but it sucked. I was so proud I wrote lyrics for it.
brodiebruce405: did you see Chud?
FCDekker: My father-in-law produced it.
FCDekker: But I haven't seen it.
brodiebruce405: really? Cool. It's excellent. Just don't watch the terrible, unfortunatly titled CHUD 2: Bud the CHUD
FCDekker: My father-in-law says the actors took over Part One.
brodiebruce405: yeah, the odd thing of pt.1 is that it's a monster movie, but the real issue is what CHUD stands for and how they were made.
FCDekker: Don't tell me... government conspiracy?
brodiebruce405: haha
brodiebruce405: Close
brodiebruce405: CHUD stands early on for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, which was what it said on the poster. Later on we find out it means Containment Hazard Urban Disposal.
brodiebruce405: Chuds have been on Simpsons twice
FCDekker: What a cheat!
brodiebruce405: yup
brodiebruce405: Did you see Donnie Darko? That's the best horror movie in years
FCDekker: Almost rented it today.
FCDekker: But I had to watch another movie for an actor who's reading my script.
brodiebruce405: Worth getting the DVD on rental-the commentary will explain it in detail, as no one gets it first time. To show it's 1980s roots, two characters go see Evil Dead
brodiebruce405: Did you ever see any Troma movies?
FCDekker: Nope.
brodiebruce405: well, they're funny but the worst are unbearable. I recommend Toxic Avenger or Class og Nuke 'em high if you ever plan on getting drunk and watching a movie.
brodiebruce405: They're movies have excellant staire
brodiebruce405: satire
FCDekker: You seem easily entertained.
brodiebruce405: no way
brodiebruce405: I hate alot of movies
brodiebruce405: ones other say were great
brodiebruce405: I liked Matrix, but all it was was Akira and manga made real life and worse
FCDekker: The Matrix rocked, come on.
brodiebruce405: and I hated Independance Day. Matrix was live action manga-always a bad idea. It was good, but not THAT good.
brodiebruce405: did you see Cannibal the Musical?
FCDekker: Granted, we'd seen it already in Tsui Hark films, etc.
brodiebruce405: yup
FCDekker: The South Park guys. No.
brodiebruce405: I am no South Park fan, but their live action movies are good. Trey Parker writes well.
FCDekker: You didn't like SP:The Movie?
brodiebruce405: Oh the movie was great. But the show is a jaded gimmick.
brodiebruce405: Orgazmo was funny and clever. Cannibal is catchy and memorable and their performances in BASEketball were good.
FCDekker: The original Christmas short was the greatest, where Jesus battled Santa.
brodiebruce405: yes, funny
brodiebruce405: but the show's ready to die
FCDekker: You're probably right.
brodiebruce405: well, I usually am ;-)
brodiebruce405: sorry
brodiebruce405: But Cannibal is amazing. Worth a rental, if you can put up with fake beards and cheapness and appreciate the funny writing
brodiebruce405: sorry, did you say you liked Romero?
FCDekker: I think he's brilliant.
brodiebruce405: me too. Have you seen Bruiser, his latest movie yet? I wanna see it. I mention Romero as James "Scooby Doo & Tromeo and Juliet" gunn is rewriting Dawn.
FCDekker: Yeah, Bruiser was a little mannered for me. But I loved seeing Tom Atkins back in his detective mode!
brodiebruce405: yeah! he always when Isee him acting is in that role. But he's so good at it. His role in Creeps was well written on your part.
FCDekker: I thought he acted it superbly.
FCDekker: One of my two favorite performances in my films.
brodiebruce405: yes Had my laughing when he said 'Screaming like banshees" or "spanky & Alfalfa"
brodiebruce405: What's the other one?
FCDekker: "Thrill me."
brodiebruce405: hee
brodiebruce405: What was the other favourite performance? Was it Scary German Guy or Ryan Lambert's Rudy?
FCDekker: John Castle in RoboCop 3.
FCDekker: The bad guy.
brodiebruce405: srry, is that the leader of the relocation squad?
brodiebruce405: ah I see.
FCDekker: The Brit, you twit.
brodiebruce405: Rip Torn was good in his small role.
FCDekker: heh heh
FCDekker: Yeah, he was fun.
brodiebruce405: and I thought you got CCH Pounder and Rip Torn in the same movie, which just makes for a good resume. Why did orion hold Robo 3 for 2 years?
FCDekker: You forgot Jill Hennessy and Brad Whitford, both big TV stars now in the US.
FCDekker: Orion went bankrupt.
brodiebruce405: I don't know who those two are. I remember about Orion now. That's why ROTLD took so long to be rereleased.
brodiebruce405: After Terminator came out, Orion went bankrupt. After T2, Carloco went bankrupt. Bad mojo.
FCDekker: Brad is on The West Wing and Jill is the lead in another series, the name of which escapes me.
brodiebruce405: Who is Brad in robo 3? a Rebel?
FCDekker: He's the yuppie guy who kisses Rip's ass.
brodiebruce405: ah. hee hee
brodiebruce405: Would you say Kevin Smith is racist (Dogma aside)?
FCDekker: Crossing Jordan is Jill's show.
brodiebruce405: ah
brodiebruce405: I have seen niether
FCDekker: West Wing's the best show on US TV.
FCDekker: Crossing Jordan... not so much.
brodiebruce405: I watch it occasionally-WW that is. It's good. I only really watch old Simpsons and ER.
FCDekker: I never thought of Kevin as a racist.
brodiebruce405: good. There's this whole web board fiasco where this dick want attention by calling Kevin racist,
FCDekker: I don't think of him much at alll, frankly. No offense.
brodiebruce405: that's fine. opinons opinions. My favourite directors are Raimi, you, Lloyd Kaufman, O' Bannon and Jackson.
brodiebruce405: No Smith there.
FCDekker: I'm flattered. Too bad Dan hasn't made more films.
brodiebruce405: Yes, it's perhaps because of his second movie, the Lovecrap one.
brodiebruce405: Which was interferred with.
FCDekker: What was it called?
brodiebruce405: I'm sorry. Hold on.
brodiebruce405: The resurrected
brodiebruce405: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0105242
brodiebruce405: I liked Re-Animator and that is the only direct Lovecrap movie I like
brodiebruce405: and In the Mouth Of Madness was a good 'homage' to him
brodiebruce405: Gotta go, see you later 'praps.
FCDekker: I have some friends who LOVE Lovecraft.
brodiebruce405: many do
brodiebruce405: TTFN
