Well, I will probably not watch another John Woo movie.
Not because I have all these attachments to the source and all that, but because he is an inept storyteller, or amateurish, perhaps.
Seriously, can the fucking doves for one goddamn movie, you stupid clown.
Also: Crack-cocaine-addled crash called, it wants it slow-motion back.
There was a scene with heart in it, perhaps, even, depth of emotion, or at least interest but I think that it was perhaps less a result of any intentional effort by Woo and Co., but rather perhaps a slip-up by editing.
Also: the word Yakima was featured.

Ironically Matt Damon was approached first for the movie too. I guess every director likes to have some sort of tradmark. I want to see this too, I haven't even had the chance to see ROTK yet either.

Yep, then again, I dont look for much heart in a scifi action flick.
The one thing movies need LESS of these days is soft, pussified action heros. Hell, Ben Afflec was a little too soft for me. I remember the late 80's/early 90's where it was pefectly acceptable to have a 100% baddass blow a bunch of shit up and kill a few mexicans/germans/martians and have it be good movie making.
Action movies today are way too P.C., completely devoid of any hillarious sterotypes, and have pussified fagish action heros. I hope to god Die Hard 4 doesnt add some fucking lesson learned in the end.

I suppose in this context, "fagish" can be defined as "action hero whose sole lines are 'yippie-cayee mother fucker' and/or speaks with an Austrian and/or French accent (in case of latter, last name must sound similar to popular four-letter swears)."

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the lowest common denominator in the flesh. He's not too bright, but what he lacks in intellectual prowess he more than makes up for in brute strength and dogged determination, and he'll fuck you up real bad if you piss him off, so play nice.

I dunno. Over here the word "gay" is now quite common slang amoungst teenagers and twenty-somethings, and all it pretty much means is "shit, in a sucky sort of way". The whole *counts* two gay people I am mates with both use it.
But you are the country that changed the spelling of "snigger" in case you offended anyone, so I shrug my shoulders at you.
