wow i just came out of work, and i saw the Teaser for M:I:3, and i think for an action movie... that is one goddamn good trailer. The score completely motivated me as a filmmaker... but jeez, it has done everything i have always wanted to do in a trailer, it totally catches you by suprise
CHECK IT OUT AND LEAVE YOUR COMMENT

Yeah, within the first few seconds of the theme music I knew what it was for (and was groaning in dismay, but that's a different story.)

I would, personally, have left it with just the music and no titles at all. People know the theme so well. It was a good trailer, very good indeed. I have low hopes for the movie though.

lol. groaning in dismay. I agree TD.

i guess i'll see M:I:3. I didnt hate M:I:1 or M:I:2. I remember thinking 2 was a little bit stupid because they used wrestling moves. I think that was the one anyway. I haven't seen it since it came out in the theatre.

i'll probably see it.

I didn't like M:I:1 much. It seemed corny and unrealistic, and didn't have good writing. I loved the scene where he came down from the air vent on ropes, but other than that... mmh. I'll have to see M:I:2 and see what I think.

It's best you just forget Mission Impossible 2 ever existed, especially if you thought MI1 was unrealistic. John Woo sucks. This one doesn't look as bad though.

John Woo isn't a bad director when he stays in China. Once John Woo came to America, we got tons of bad bad bad movies. I dig A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, and Hard Boiled though.

yea john woo kinda is struggling here.

haha this random thought hit my head, if you were a producer and had to choose between john woo and michael bay who would you choose lol

Good to see Philip Seymour Hoffman broadening his horizons. He's been in too many good movies anyway.

Oh yeah, and before you say John Woo sucks, see Hard-Boiled. One of the best action films ever. And it's not about Chow Yun Fat in a hard-boiled-egg-eating contest, as the title suggests.

yeah. his overseas stuff is really really good. I love the Killer and Bullet in the Head. If you haven't seen Bullet in the Head, do. it's absolutely great dramatic filmmaking.

It looks interesting but I just can't stop hearing Cruise saying "Your Glib." None of his movies will ever be the same for me.

Thoug that does sound like an awesome premise for a mockumentary.

Thought Hard boiled sucked. Desperado was a much better action flick.

I'm afraid it's not a matter of opinion this time, Fash. You're just wrong.

Desperado sucks, and Hard-Boiled is awesome. Ask God; he'll verify.

And anyway (if we take a rational approach to this), how many hospital shoot-outs are there in Desperado? How many times does Antonio Bang- a-rang swing down on a cable with a shotgun AND a machine gun AND grenades and kill an ENTIRE WAREHOUSE FULL OF GUN RUNNERS?

Although, I will grant that the body double for Salma Hayek's nude scene is hotter than any chick in Hard-Boiled.

I love how Antonio runs around w/ two handguns slaughtering people movin like a flamenco dude, reloading every chance he gets. The bar gun fights were incredibly done. The machine gun/rocket launcher guitar cases. The knife throwing indian guy. That's just great stuff, Harris. A guntoting mariachi player is classic.

There's just so many great stylized action scenes that blow my balls off in Desperado, and even now no other movie compares to the coolness of Desperado. Remember the scene where Antonio and his girl are on the rooftop, Antonio throws a couple grenades to the alley below to slaughter some dudes, he throws his guitar case to the next roof, turns around and jumps off the roof BACKWARDS while shooting????

Salma Hayek also gets naked. No body double, my main man.

Go watch it again now that you're older and more wise.

I thought the action in Hard Boiled was done sloppily and cheezy. I mean if we're talking about high body counts and lots of guns then surely Arnold's movies outdo John Woo's.

I'm sorry were you saying something, about action, or style? Something, like that...*mumbles*

I don't think that's her, man. The nude double's neck is arched back most of the time so we can't see her face. But hell, it might be her - I haven't seen it in a while. If it IS her, this will be the first time EVER that I've been wrong.

Suddenly the stakes are raised. You had to say it, Harris, man!

Now we care a lot more about the outcome of this debate. Will you be wrong for the first time ever??

It is her. On the commentary Rodriguez talks about how Salma was crying the whole time in her first nude scene. Plus I recognize the nipples(she was naked in Frida). I could post pictures but you guys probably don't want that.

Here's a quote from some interview

"MA: I just watched Desperado again and was struck with the suspicion that you used a body double in your love scene with Antonio Banderas.

SH: I would have preferred to have had a body double. It was very hard to film that scene because I was either crying or trying to cover myself. Playing a stripper in From Dusk Till Dawn was easier because I was not with a man, only a snake, so I felt a lot safer."

YOU'RE WRONG FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

ohHO!

NEVAH!

OK, I concede. Salma Hayek is pretty hot, then. And I haven't seen Frida.

Crying?
