As promised, been watching Big Trouble today with the commentary on. I do think this is one of my favourite commentaries as Russell and Carpenter spend a lot of time talking about just making movies and the ways things have changed, from both director and actor’s views. It is almost interview like.
Oh, and they do love this movie. Russell laughs a lot at himself, which speaks a lot for the man.

Ergo Proxy is a great anime. Very odd, very dark, and I can’t see how they would make it real action. It also spends a lot of time thinking and wondering, and many people would get bored. They would turn up expecting action and then whine about, like you say, the mysticism.

Bebop is one of the coolest shows I’ve ever seen. Also loved Avatar, saw the last episodes not long back. Thought that ended very well. That could be very funny (loved the play about them) and very grim (Jet came to a dark end).
What annoys me most is the people who get to make these always seem to be the wrong ones. Get some actual fans who want to keep the feel and content and it could work. Could.
Again, back to Russell and Carpenter on new directors – they see shots, not have a vision.

I didn’t know Big Trouble had a dvd comentary ????

Lol, Ergo Proxy,,,
“I see dumb ideas” that’s a classic.

John "Kahless" Taylor says:

Hey 790, what was wrong with “Soldier”? I liked it.

“Big Trouble in Little China” is probably my favorite B-movie.

790 says:

I swear “Soldier” was the inspiration behind Wall-E,,,

Kahless,,, just found it boring, If I remember he dosnt even speak in the film.

John "Kahless" Taylor says:

He speaks but it was robot-ish. He was an engineered soldier after all.

Ergo Proxy says:

Hey, HEY HEY!!!

Don’t trash Wall•E!!! Me and Wall•E got back ages and we’re like THIS (∞) (well not really but I love the movie)

;)

Nah, I love Wall•E… but hey… that’s just me… I love Pixar and Sci Fi… for me it was great!

steven the git says:

Yup, Big Trouble has Carpenter and Russell, just like on the Thing and Escape From New York.
I bought all three dvds early last year I think and listening to those two talk never gets dull. Plenty to say on their films and more, and clearly good friends.

“He speaks but it was robot-ish”

That’s what I’m saying. Wall-E stole that concept. Ok time to sue Pixar for copyrite infinge. ;-)

790 says:

@Git,,,
Curious was that in a collection or special edition dvd ??
I’ve gotta listen to the EFNY commentary one of these days. ;-)

steven the git says:

Oh yes! Special Edition. Not sure if the others are. When they’re talking, they mention movies like Gladiator and Jurassic Park 3, so gives you a sense of when they did it.
I have two commentaries on my EFNY. One Carpenter and Russell, and one with two others who worked on it. Can’t remember who they are, just that a man and a woman, and think the man may have been to do with special effects. Both are good.

jbrrex, I actually really enjoyed the Eragon movie – only two small scenes drove me nuts.

I really hope they make sequels, I hear the newest book is doing really well

Gary says:

Is i true That PauL Newman died today?
I just heard this.

Sadly, yes. Just getting ready to write something up.

790 says:

Hey gang, just posted my first review on the film,
“This Film Is Not Yet Rated,,,”
Really good film!

Hope you check it out… 8-)
