    Please no.

    Eddie is doing anything to make a buck nowadays. It's so sad.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      That passage always makes homesick for NY.
      King Jaffe Joffer: Semmi, you have disgraced yourself, and you must be punished. Confine yourself to our royal suite at the Waldorf-Astoria.
      King Jaffe Joffer: And see that he puts on some decent attire.
      King Jaffe Joffer: And I want you to bathe him thoroughly.
      Semmi: Oh, thank you, Your Majesty.

        Prince Akeem: Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?
        Cleo McDowell: No, I didn't.
        Prince Akeem: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory.

        What a great movie.

            The new Disney live action Beauty and the Beast seems to be getting divided reviews. A rave in The New York Post, a pan in The Wall St. Journal. I haven't read the review on Roger Ebert's website yet (yes they have been keeping it going...), though I see it got three stars.

              I think it shows the lack of creativity at Disney that they are doing this stuff. I mean from all accounts it is almost the exact same movie as the cartoon...whats the point?

              Plus...no Jerry Orbach!

                  I'm curious if that Pete's Dragon remake made them any money. It didn't seem to be a big hit, and while there may be other projects like these two that are filming, not producing stellar profits could (hopefully) kill other re-boot projects that are still in the script/casting phases.

                    Because a lot of people went to see the live-action Jungle book, and so now we're doomed with live-action remakes for the next 10 years.

                        According to the writer of the film ZaK Penn) the new Matrix film will not be a reboot or remake. In fact he said it would be wrong to even think about doing it. The new movie, if it happens, will be in the current Matrix Universe. (Which Revolutions left the door open to)

                          Nerdist had some quote from a person at WB (proposed script writer?) that they were contemplating prequel stories, along the lines of how Morpheus came to be aware of the Matrix and later made captain of his ship, The Ebekenezer (sp?).

                            Hell Or High Water:

                            To save their family's ranch, two brothers decide to rob banks. A crusty TX Ranger pursues them.

                            Excellent movie. The themes, the characters, all top notch. Highly recommend.
