DLD 12/08/09 - Stallone, Willis & Schwarzenegger! Now with a xkcd comic

I thought this xkcd comic would fit in nicely with the discussion
via imgs.xkcd.com
I had to make a DLD just for this. I was reading totalfilm.com's feature on the 49 films that will define 2010 and I saw this: The Expendables
The Talent: Directed by Sylvester Stallone, and starring every bicep in Hollywood.
The Pitch: Sylvester Stallone directs the ultimate ‘80s action flick 20 years too late: a crew of mean mercenaries head to South America to chew bubblegum, kick ass and overthrow a government.
The Hook: It’s a who’s-who of Hollywood hardmen: Stallone, Statham, Lundgren... Even Schwarzenegger and Willis. Expect muscle, fire, and brainless brilliance.
The film will feature a scene with Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger together in a movie for the first time ever. Now that is all kinds of awesome, too bad Willis and the Governator couldn't have played bigger roles in the film. Also according to wikipedia:
- Jean-Claude Van Damme was personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down
- Steven Segal was asked to play a cameo role, but turned down the offer due to negative experiences with producer Avi Lerner.
- The role of the man who hires the Expendables, Mr. Church, was very difficult to cast. Initially offered to Schwarzenegger, he declined in favor of a smaller cameo due to his political career. The role was then offered to Kurt Russel whose agent replied that he was not interested in "ensemble acting" at the moment.
Man! If they could have convinced those guys to be in it also I think the universe would have exploded. I'm surprised they didn't offer Kevin Costner a role ;-) (speaking of Costner, Russell Crowe is starring in another Robin Hood movie, it is on the list as well.)
Anyways, despite missing some cool 80's action stars the film will feature a bunch of butt kickers. Here are the names I recognized that actually WILL be in the movie.
- Stallone
- Jason Statham
- Jet Li
- Terry Crews (in a non-comedic role! that's a first for me)
- Mickey Rourke
- Willis
- Schwarzenegger
- Dolph Lundgren
- Steve Austin
I'm sure it's going to be cheesy and I liked other 80's action stars more than Stallone but I'm glad he is doing this. Here is the trailer on youtube.com. I guess they are still trying to decide if it is going to be PG-13 or R. I think the cheesiness would be greatly increased if it goes PG-13. They compare the success of Live Free or Die Hard as a PG-13 cut as opposed to Stallone's rated R Rambo.
- Daybreakers (Vampires as they should be, awesome and evil) with William DeFoe, Ethan Hawk, and Sam Neil
- The Book of Eli (Denzel Washington in a post-apocalyptic Western, nuff said)
- Clash of the Titans
- Iron Man 2 (War Machine!!)
- Predators (direct sequel to the 1987 action classic. with Topher Grace & Adrien Brody? odd casting IMO)
- The A-Team
- Toy Story 3 (just so you don't think I only like action movies)
- Salt (a female Bourne Identity with Angelina Jolie)
- Priest (Paul Bettany as a vampire-stomping Priest on a mission of revenge and rescue? Yes, please.)
- Oobermind (Dreamworks animation with Will Ferral and Brad Pitt)
- Tron Legacy
- The Green Hornet (Seth Rogen)
The totalfilm list also has a few other flicks that look promising.

Actually, the film I was most looking forward to in 2010 isn't being made -
to whit, the Will Smith remake of Old Boy. I loved the original feature film, and, yes, a Will Smith version would have been awful, but worth it for various I’m-not-going-to-plot-spoil-this moments, too.
I’ve you’ve not seen it, do it. DO IT.
I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does
the Korean Oldboy movie?
or is there another one? Seems like a Will Smith project, I think he likes that isolated shouty stuff.
Me, I’m looking at the Princess and the Frog website and that hand-drawn animation looks so beautiful. But that’s out this year so perhaps I shouldn’t talk about it.
I believe they were going to do it faithful to the Manga
which was an awesome manga, btw.
But I just dont see Will Smith as the guy. Can’t picture it.
But I think I heard that Smith wanted the role because he himself loved the manga, and wanted to stay true to it.
Don't believe in yourself.
Believe in Me who believes in You.
Randy Couture is in it as well
I’ve never been a Stallone fan at all, but that movie looks awesomely cheesy. And I do love Stratham (Snatch is an all-time favorite).

The A Team
Clash of the Titans,Toy Story 3…great to see Hollywood coming up with some new ideas.
As far as the Expendables it would have been better with Jean Claude and Stevie Segal rather than wrestlers I mean if you’re going for 80’s cheese don’t those two have to be in it?
One prediction the Green Hornet will be a huge bomb.
I'm sad to say that JCVD was the first name that popped into my head when I started reading the post
specifically the phrase “twice the Van Damage”
If you cut out the 4th wall moment in JCVD-
That movie would have been pretty awesome.
Still good though.
Excited for Watson and Salt in a pure popcorn fashion.
dear hollywood, re: coming up with new ideas
it’s fine to repeat the classics. but please have some sense of what they were originally about!

LOL :-)
I’ve never read the books but I have seen the Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before and despite being a little stuffy it was good (My Mom and sister love those british murder mysteries). I haven’t seen the Gene Wilder movie, thought it looks funny. How many freaking movies were Wilder and Madeline Kahn in together? I know of Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein plus this one.
Perhaps the trailer is misleading? Sometimes a trailer is nothing like the complete movie. I read the wikipedia entries on Sherlock Holmes and the movie and it seems that in some ways they are trying to stay close to original interpetation but are emphasizing certain things that haven’t been before. He seems to be a brawler in the film which isn’t that far fetched since apparently he was skilled in boxing, fencing, and knew a little “matial arts”.
Besides, we are talking about a fictional character. Is it really that bad to reinvent him?
Perhaps the plot of a madman destroying Britian is too grandeous (spelling?) for your tastes in Holmes?
Did you ever see Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective?

"Besides, we are talking about a fictional character. Is it really that bad to reinvent him?"
How ’bout inventing your own one?
Hollywood getting their pawns on every successful novel or movie ever made and then changing it to the imaginary one size fits all mold is rather annoying.
But it is also funny, as the patented story developments always remind me of Kurt Vonnegut’s classification of different tales, this one being the Hollywood fave:
And that in turn, reminds me of one of the funniest things I ever read, a chapter or two later:
Now there’s a Franz Kafka story .
A young man is rather unattractive and not very personable. He has disagreeable relatives and has had a lot of jobs with no chance of promotion. He doesn’t get paid enough to take his girl dancing or to go to the beer hall to have a beer with a friend. One morning he wakes up, it’s time to go to work again, and he has turned into a cockroach. It’s a pessimistic story.

I'm about 100 pages from the end
of reading the Complete Sherlock Holmes, which has taken me the better part of 2009 (with lots of other books mixed in for variety, of course). So I have quite a few concerns from the looks of that trailer.
While there are certainly a lot of action scenes sprinkled throughout the stories, Holmes is really not an action hero. The stories are all designed with Holmes remaining totally passive as he unravels the mystery and then springs the trap on his opponent at the last possible second. Maybe part of it is due to the fact that most of the stories are 10-20 pages long, but they are all structured with just one sudden reveal at the end. So there is just a fundamental design difference between a Sherlock Holmes story and a hollywood action movie, that is pretty much required to feature big flashy set pieces at regular intervals.
You could make a similar argument about
most of the Harry Potter books, and they managed to make movies out of them without losing any of the story.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
bingo. thank you. i read the complete when i was like 14 and have always loved the feeling of this guy who can figure everything out without leaving his room, then takes the game afoot but just to catch the fiend. that’s what’s bugging me, that it’s almost a personal memory for me, one of my earliest obsessions, and they’re changing it so that other kids can’t enjoy it the same way (as if they’d ever pick up the book, i know, i know…).
don't care if i ever get back.
This has been going on since at least 1939.
they’re changing it so that other kids can’t enjoy it the same way
Wizard of Oz, Bambi, Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Harriet the Spy, Princess Diaries, Harry Potter, Narnia, Tolkien….
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I'm trying to figure out how I can keep my 17 month old from watching the Potter movies
until he reads the books. I know, it’s years away, but I think about these things. Same with Tolkien and Narnia. Part of the reason for building my library collection is so that my kid can read from it when he’s old enough. Also, I think seeing three full shelves (sets of shelves, not three separate shelves) will help raise the worth of books in his eyes as he grows up.

I think it's too late
The bug-eyed Elijah Wood version of Frodo is now as indelible as the comical Disney drawing of Tigger.
With Harry Potter there’s the added twist that so many of the characters were cast when they weren’t fully grown and they could only guess how they’d turn out after puberty. The most extreme case is Neville Longbottom, who as a teenager looks absolutely nothing like described in the book.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I don't remember how they describe him in the book,
but I also don’t remember thinking that anything was odd in the way he looked in the movie.

"short and plump and blond"
Also, “round-faced”.
When I saw the movie — I forget which one, the first one in which Neville is prominent enough to notice — I thought “that’s Neville??”

After looking this up, I found that supposedly it's never been written in the books,
though that is how Rowling sees him in her head.

Ah. That explains why I don't remember the "blond" part.
I do remember him being short and plump in the books, though. I’d have to read again to find it.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
The Wikia page says that he was called 'fat'
but that it could have been an exaggeration by the character who called him that, since she was a meanie.
Neville was described as round-faced, with a short, plump build and blond hair. He was called “fat” by Pansy Parkinson, but this may have been an exaggeration, as Pansy frequently made disparaging comments about Gryffindor students.

Segal isn't a big loss, but Van Damme is.
I hope they don’t edit it to fit into the PG-13 rating – Die Hard 4.0 was terrible because it was basically a Disney film.

Not really pertinent to the subject…but does anyone have any info if and when there’s gonna be a 2010 fanfest?
If they do it like they did it last year (right before the season started)
we probably won’t hear anything until January. If they were going to do it in January like they have in the past, we’d probably have heard about it by now.

Apparently the Rangers offered Smoak and Feliz to the Marlins for Josh Johnson
The Marlins are in a contending phase (relatively speaking)
It was correct to turn the deal down. Smoak and Feliz would peak at the wrong time for their efforts at putting together a critical mass of good players.
O'Hara: Detective Lassiter is literally on fire.
Spencer: What kind of fire are we talking about-- "Michael Jackson in the Pepsi commercial" fire, or "misusing the word literally" fire?
Still, as a team that's constantly fighting financial restrictions
Turning down two prospects of that caliber who are basically MLB-ready. I would have made that trade in a heartbeat if I was Beinfest.
If you think Billy Beane is a bad GM, I hate you and find you stupid.
They should be doing the opposite
and selling their prospects for short-term upgrades to the MLB roster. They have some good ones— I’d think Mike Stanton and Logan Morrison could fetch some pretty, uh, fetching players in return. They’re one of the few teams, for instance, that could seriously explore the notion of trading for Grady Sizemore.
I think if they went all-in they could probably pick up something like Sizemore and Verlander. That gives them two seasons as the clear favorites in the NL East, after which they strip down and rebuild again.

Did anybody read the news story to the right??
Moneyball is back on! Yeah – Sure – I have heard that story before!!!
It’s starting to look as though the story behind the movie version of Michael Lewis’ book Moneyball could end up being more interesting than the movie itself.
Check it out!
Bennett Miller?
Interesting. Obviously I prefer Soderbergh (who wouldn’t?), but Bennett Miller’s an intriguing choice. Never saw Capote, and although it was an Oscar contender a couple years back, I think I recall most of the praise being heaped on Phillip Seymour Hofmann for his performance, rather than Miller’s direction.

but thats because I hated the character. My father hated that guy too, but he said that he did the character perfectly.

He was a flawed, creepy man, but an enormous talent
“In Cold Blood” and “Music for Chameleons” are particularly masterful, and “Other Voices, Other Rooms” is also haunting. Like Andy Warhol, he dove headlong into a life of frivolous celebrity, becoming a caricature along the way, but by then he had already proven himself to be a genius.

"49 films that will define 2010"
Isn’t there a list of “49 films in 2010 that will actually be good” anywhere?
Have a glove you could spare for a good cause? If so please let me know
You've not been to the cinema lately I take it. Good films nowadays are
few and far between. Put it this way, I saw a re-showing of Gladiator this summer and it’s by far and away the best film I saw at the cinema this year (and I’ve seen a fair few).
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
Oh, you're just not looking hard enough.
There are plenty of good films. Unfortunately, there are even more of these crappy sort, so you have to a little digging to find them out.

Yep.

2007, for example was a banner year. There Will Be Blood would have easily won Best Picture any other year. Unfortunately, it ran into No Country for Old Men.

Movies that I'm looking forward to in 2010
If you like Christopher Nolan (Memento, Dark Knight), he’s got a new movie coming out called Inception which I think he describes as taking place within the architecture of the mind. Weird, but it stars DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Marion Cotillard.
If you like Rian Johnson (Brick, Brothers Bloom), he’s got a movie coming out called Looper. Very little details (I think it’s a contemporary sci-fi), and no one’s attached to it but he’s made some pretty good movies so I’m looking forward to this.
There’s an Arrested Development movie coming out (maybe 2011) and I think the entire cast is on board, so that should be entertaining.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman has signed on to Paul Thomas Andersons’ next movie. I forget what it’s called but its about an academic who invents his own religion in the 1950s. Unofficially, its a satire of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard, but officially it is definitely, definitely not. Though clearly it is.
I’m also looking forward to the American adaptation of “Let the Right One In” though the original was fine and didn’t need to be remade. Even so, I’ll probably watch it. It’s about vampires, which everyone seems to love right now.
I don’t know if it’s ever going to happen but supposedly the Coen Brothers are making “The Yiddish Policemen’s Union” based on the Michael Chabon novel of the same name. It’s a detective story that takes place in an alternate history where the United States gave Jewish refugees of WWII a temporary settlement in Sitka, Alaska and now are reclaiming the land. It was a pretty gripping read, though if you saw A Serious Man (the Coen’s latest) and hated that I can see that you might not like this one either. A lot of the Jewish humor and focus on cultural identity might be lost on those unfamiliar with Jewish culture.
Those are just some of the movies with big names attached that I could think of off the top of my head. There will undoubtedly be a lot of crappy movies made next year, but there is a lot that I, at least, am very excited about.

Much More Interesting List
Than in the original post. Sequels to Predator & Iron Man, a billion vampire movies.
I didn’t particularly like Chabon’s novel, but it could make a very good film, particularly done by the Coen Brothers. The Paul Thomas Anderson film sounds wonderful. So does the Nolan film. Two films coming out in February that I’m really looking forward to: Martin Scorcese’s Shutter Island, and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Oh, been reading some buzz on Avatar. Apparently those who saw the 3D trailer before Disney’s Christmas Carol were blown away. Would love to hear some direct experience of that trailer.
Let the Right One In was superb.
Almost more of a coming of age love story/ drama than vampire/ horror film.
I hope you got a chance to see it on the big screen.
Ah, the fabled Arrested Development movie.

Rich Harden returning to the AL West?
The Texas Rangers are closing in on a deal with right-handed pitcher Rich Harden, sources told ESPN The Magazine’s Buster Olney on Wednesday.
So you're saying this one isn't true?
According to NBCSports.com, Rich Harden has agreed to a one-year contract with right-hander Rich Harden.
