LeStew : @FilmBuzz Live action Jetsons? ouch...

FilmBuzz : Did you see the earlier note I sent out, btw, about a *live action* Jetsons movie that they're working on? I expect it'll be abyssmal.

FilmBuzz : @nichelady Dunno, don't really want to go see Death Race myself. You see it, and tell us all about it!

FilmBuzz : Surprisingly, the film that isn't in the top 15 for domestic grosses is Harry Potter

nichelady : @FilmBuzz I know it's cheesy, but I wanna see "Death Race"

ricewenchie : @filmbuzz passion of christ

timboe : @FilmBuzz I'm guessing Passion of the Christ.

FilmBuzz : Which is NOT a top 15 grosser @ the box office: ET, Spiderman, Finding Nemo, Passion of the Christ, Harry Potter 1, or Spiderman 2?

FilmBuzz : aaannnnndddd... the film that shouldn't have shown up in the top grossers list was: Harry Potter! (I'll retweet the question in a sec)

FilmBuzz : Now that Harry Potter's been delayed until mid-2009, know what's taken its slot late November? "Twilight". I bet you already know the story

FilmBuzz : Variety didn't like "Mirrors", says "softcore horror at best, failed allegory at worst". "violent variant of Night @ Museum". Weird.

FilmBuzz : I'm guessing only hard core comic fans will recognize "Cryptozoo Crew" title. News: it's just been optioned by Alcon Entertainment.

FilmBuzz : "Edge of Darkness": Veteran cop (Gibson)'s grown up child (Bojana Novakovic) murdered, discovers corp coverup. Director Martin Campbell...

roblef : @FilmBuzz Passion?

searchguru : @FilmBuzz Finding Nemo?

FilmBuzz : Which is NOT a top 15 grosser @ the box office: ET, Spiderman, Finding Nemo, Passion of the Christ, Harry Potter 1, or Spiderman 2??

FilmBuzz : Brands paying to appear in 007's "Quantum of Solace": Ford, Heineken, Smirnoff, Omega, Virgin Atlantic and Sony Ericsson.

FilmBuzz : @ricewenchie no, no, Hollywood is a metaphor. :-) Then again, so is rain. :-)

FilmBuzz : Love it: "All agencies will come under control of FEMA, the secret government" (first X Files movie)

ricewenchie : @FilmBuzz It's raining in HOLLYWOOD?!?!?!

FilmBuzz : Getting sucked into the first X Files movie on A&E. <sigh> Not a bad way to spend a rainy day, though.

imrananwar : @FilmBuzz ref Baldwin Streep wow far cry from being with Basinger. LOL

FilmBuzz : Don't know if I can get into this: Alec Baldwin is joining Meryl Streep for untitled romantic comedy scripted by Nancy Meyers.

FilmBuzz : Rumor from @darthseeder is that Harry Potter VI is delayed to re-edit and get a PG-13 rather than R rating. Any corroboration??

FilmBuzz : Steve Carell and Tina Fey to co-star, Shawn Levy to direct "Date Night", comedy coming soon from 20th Century Fox.

FilmBuzz : Sean Flynn, only son of Errol Flynn, vanished in Cambodian jungle in 1970. Now Mythic Pictures working on biopic about him.

darthseeder : @FilmBuzz I heard it got a R rating so they are going to recut it to get a better rating

FilmBuzz : Hollywood writers strike contributes to delay of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to July 2009. That's a 10 month delay. Ouch.

hughdickson : @FilmBuzz Nope, you're not the only one, I also thought that The Shadow was good and that Alec Baldwin played that role fairly well :)

FilmBuzz : @conniegreen haven't checked our pobox, will do so tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

FilmBuzz : Gotta admit it, Rita Hayworth is extraordinarily gorgeous (watching "You'll Never Get Rich" (1941), co-stars Fred Astaire). Va va voom!

NextInstinct : @FilmBuzz THE SHADOW (8-21-38) W/Orson Welles. KNUS, 710 am, Denver, Colorado. Saturday Night/Sunday Morning..12 Mid. to 5 AM Denver Time

conniegreen : @filmbuzz - should have been 'Judge Dead' - worthless - did your package arrive at the P.O.?

ThomasFrey : @FilmBuzz Judge Dredd was a terrible movie

FilmBuzz : Speaking of bad comic book adaptations, I thought Judge Dredd was pretty ghastly with Stallone in the lead role. Did anyone like it??

FilmBuzz : @sugigrl The Phantom != The Shadow. Jeez, now I feel like an idiot talking about all these comic book superheroes! :-)

FilmBuzz : @searchguru Wonder if we saw the same film: I didn't think Baldwin's Shadow was a bad guy. Troubled / tortured, yes, but not evil. Hmmm...

FilmBuzz : @Im_X1 yay! one, ONE, person who clearly has wasted at least one late night in the theater watching Rocky Horror. :-)

FilmBuzz : Possible - not official - that George Miller's involved with Happy Feet 2, Babe 3, Mad Max 4 and... Justice League of America. Busy!!

sugigrl : @FilmBuzz I'm ashamed to say I loved billy zane as the phantom. not the same? :)

searchguru : @FilmBuzz They totally loused up the story of the Shadow by making him into a bad guy. Hated it!


FilmBuzz : and, jeez, I can't believe I had a Rocky Horror joke and no-one got it. Scroll back, tell me what the joke was (IF you've seen the movie)

FilmBuzz : Speaking of the Green Lantern, am I the only one who liked Alec Baldwin in "The Shadow"? Total sleeper, but I thought they did a good job.

FilmBuzz : New trailer for Ridley Scott's upcoming "Body of Lies" is out and at Yahoo Movies: http://snurl.com/3g4je

FilmBuzz : "The Green Lantern" (pre-production, w/ Hal Jordan in the title role) script makes its way into blogger hands. More: http://snurl.com/3g4iq

nichelady : @FilmBuzz the film def. Had an effect on me. I can't support a pg-13 rating - 2 many of those scenes had me wincing (like the 'magic trick')

FilmBuzz : @nichelady no, I agree with you. When I was looking at the *kids* in the audience and watching the intense, sadistic violence on screen...

FilmBuzz : Remember that MTV remake of "Rocky Horror Picture Show"? Just landed co-financing from BSkyB Movies. A toast to the financiers!

nichelady : @FilmBuzz Still cannot believe they gave The Dark Knight a PG-13 - should have been an R rating IMO, but maybe I'm just outdated?
