As some of you know we did quite a bit of work on Windtalkers. I posted many times about it, while we were working on it.
It looked good from what I saw (back then). Well last night was the cast and crew screening in SantaMonica (3rd Street)
I foolishly thought it would have been about the Navajo CodeTalkers of WWII. LOL I'm soooo stupid. Here's the movie synopsis: "I'm Nic Cage, look at me!"
Don't get me wrong. I like Nic on a personal level, but dayyuuumm.
Seriously, it should have been called "Joe Enders and the Battle of Saipan"
If I were a Navajo, I'd sue somebody. The movie is called "Windtalkers" and we only see the code in effect MAYBE 4 times.
No joke it was 10 minutes of story surronded by 2 1/2 hours of explosions. I don't know how many more times I could have seen an explosion with stuntmen being launched on air rams, in slow motion, before I lost it in the theatre.
Plus (technically speaking) there is an "important" scene with Nic and Adam where Nic tells "his story" and the whole fuckin' thing was out of focus. I couldn't believe it, with all this fucking money they couldn't have reshot some of that?
I was totally expecting to come on here this morning, and post how proud I was to have been a part of a great tribute to the Navajo Indians, instead, I'm embarrased my name is even in the credits.
I don't blame John Woo.... Ok, wait I guess I do blame John Woo for 1/2 of this piece of shit film, I blame MGM for the other 1/2.
Trust me I could go on, and on, about how lame this film was but... I won't. Imean, I guess I just did, but I won't continue.
John Woo, MGM, Nic Cage, John Smith, Dick "the prick" Stenta... GFY!!!
It's not just my
it's the facts!
