Windtalkers... Don't waste your money
 

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.


:ak47: John Woo, MGM, Nic Cage, John Smith, Dick "the prick" Stenta... GFY!!! :321GFY

It's not just my :2 cents: it's the facts!

Sorry but I wasnt going to see it anyway, it looked like a waste of time from the beginning. :winkwink:

But thanks for the warning!

hehehe, I actually like ole Nick Cage too, i love his part in Fast Times At Ridgemont High hahaha

:thumbsup

Well, i wouldnt go see a 2 hour movie about indians yapping to each other, but i would go see 2 hours of stuff blowing up. But, im a simple minded person.

I'm almost debating weather or not I should give the movie away, spoil it, just so no one sees it anyway!.
Yes, that's how overly dramatic I can be.

I spent well over a year and a half on the film fighting mostly with Kevin... and for this film to be as bad as it is. There is no payoff for the work, and that's dissapointing.

OK, what did you expect from John Woo? Citizen Fucking Kane? I wanna know how the action was.

Two best war movies ever made: Saving private ryan, and "we were soldiers"

damn fine movies.

I'm fond of "Full Metal Jacket"

I just saw it.
And I saw something real fucking cool in the credits that was worth the price of the ticket.

It said:

Effects Director: Red Shoe of the Boneprone Family

I cheered and felt as if I were a kid again at the theatre hearing the into music to Return of the Jedi.

It was Great! It was worth the Price of the ticket.
My Dad was wondering what the fuck I was doing watching all the credits. It was great!

What do you expect from John Woo? Story? :1orglaugh

Chow Yun-Fat with a gun in each hand.

Anything more than that is just a bonus.

Yeah, John Woo akimbo style :winkwink:

it will be okay shoey. it's sad the way a good idea gets turned into pablum for the masses. but take heart, at least you can change your home page now.


ps: donnie darko. rent it mutherfucker!

I've banne asking all day here at the shop, (2 other guys) and no one (2 other guys) have any idea what Donnie Brasco is.

everyone knows donnie brasco is your lover. you're not fooling anyone fx boy :winkwink:

Fugedaboudit.

"Dasss a fugaayzee"
"You know what a fugayzee is?"

As far as best and authentic war/action movies, I'd have to add "BAND OF BROTHERS" mini-series to the list!

Nic Cage can eat me!

"Fugedaboudit.

"Dasss a fugaayzee"
"You know what a fugayzee is?"
