Writing on the wall

All the Hopper pieces and dedications were posted weeks ago... Still, it feels strange. What a legacy:

"I'd call that a tie."

WHY is Lundgren billed after Couture? I have nothing against Randy, but that's a disgrace:

Kung Fu Pandas

Just a quickie:

Jean-Claude Van Damme AND Michelle Yeoh have been cast in the Kung Fu Panda sequel, the Kaboom of Doom. That means Jackie Chan, J.C.V.D., and Michelle Yeoh will ALL be in a movie together.

PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE, BABY.

Respectable

Shia on Indiana Jones:

"I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished...If I was going to do it twice [Wall Street], my career was over. So this was fight-or-flight for me."

"You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, who directed]. But the actor's job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn't do it. So that's my fault. Simple."

"I think the audience is pretty intelligent. I think they know when you've made ... . And I think if you don't acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you're promoting a movie...We [Harrison Ford and LaBeouf] had major discussions. He wasn't happy with it either. Look, the movie could have been updated. There was a reason it wasn't universally accepted."

"We need to be able to satiate the appetite...I think we just misinterpreted what we were trying to satiate."

"I'll probably get a call. But he needs to hear this. I love him. I love Steven. I have a relationship with Steven that supersedes our business work. And believe me, I talk to him often enough to know that I'm not out of line. And I would never disrespect the man. I think he's a genius, and he's given me my whole life. He's done so much great work that there's no need for him to feel vulnerable about one film. But when you drop the ball you drop the ball."

"I think I've found a way home"

UPDATED: With better quality.

Christopher Nolan has, at least. Check it:



It's all coming down to this, man. Biggest film of the year. Must not disappoint.

Got my attention

While I've been interested all along, this is the first poster that's got my attention:

Very nice.

Missy Pariah

So, apparently, I found out today Sean Young has a YouTube Channel. There’s only a few videos so far—some great, behind the scenes looks (Dune, Blue Ice, Ace Ventura), and some splices of her personal life. It’s really well put together, and while I’m sure she has help, she’s actually communicating with fans openly—very down to earth but well spoken just the same. I for one am definitely going to follow her progress. I’ve always been a fan…she always had that face of a star, maybe not the greatest actress, but underappreciated nonetheless. And yeah, FUCK SCHNABEL. What a tremendously overrated artsy-fartsy cunt weasel.



Check it out.

"Introducing..."

Two words: DON JOHNSON.



Two more words: STEVEN SEAGAL.

And a special message: "TO ARIZONA."

De Niro looks like a hoot, Lindsay Lohan was BORN to wear that outfit/gun, I LOVE how he heavily incorporated the original fake trailer--the stock music is a great touch too. And I almost made a mess of myself when M-Rod straddled the man himself. HOT DAMN! 2010 is the year of the Rodriguez!
