The Movie Man

Might be in as just watched 500, and I know all of the above movies that are going in round 2! Also, here is a listed of some actors you should use to pick some movies - if you want, I could also do an older list, as this one is mostly from the 50s to the 70s.... Who are the Best Movie Stars Listed Here of Yesterday? [*]Clint Eastwood [*]Morgan Freeman [*]Charles Laughton [*]Robert DeNiro [*]Al Pacino [*]Jack Nicholson [*]Marlon Brando [*]Paul Newman [*]Dustin Hoffman [*]Peter Sellers [*]Gene Hackman [*]Robert DuVall [*]John Wayne [*]Anthony Quinn [*]Michael Caine [*]Sean Connery [*]Peter O'Toole [*]Harrison Ford [*]Robert Redford [*]Steve McQueen

To me, he has been likable for 10 years, or at least from The Italian Job, as Handsome Rob.

From IMDB > Well trained in Mixed Martial Arts and is an expert in Kickboxing.Personally, I don't think you get too high up in these professions without doing alot of fighting, at some levels. I mean, he sure didn't kickbox against himself. LOL!

Glad someone other than me of course brought up Coulture and Crews. Instead of just Dolph, especially consideing Dolphins was a loser and a traitor in the first movie.

I agree that the new stars added a definite fun factor....and most here agreed that they like #2.... A(9 votes [52.94%] - View) Percentage of vote: 52.94% [*]B(5 votes [29.41%] - View) Percentage of vote: 29.41% [*]C(3 votes [17.65%] - View) Percentage of vote: 17.65% [*]D (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00% [*]F (0 votes [0.00%])

Just watched the frist movie, and truthfully I am wondering if alot of you even remember it!* Statham > Jet LI - as a matter of fact, Statham was the star of tthe first movie.* To the ones who complained about Jet LI and Dolph getting shortchanged, what about Randy Corture and Crews? As Randy easily over Dolph, as he kicked the shit out of Steve Austin, that Stallone wasn't even doing....and Crews had the Chuck Norris part in the first movie...saving the day unexpectedly with the big gun.* And on Dolph, he had 1 average fight scene in the first movie, so I don't know why he would he this great fighter in #2.* And Dolph was really a jerk in 1 - being a jerk in the beginning, where he tried to hang the pirate, and then a traitor in the middle, who luckily didn't get a bullet in the head....And since he was such a head case, they never should have taken him back on the team. Especially since, if Stallone didn't stop him he would have killed Jet Li twice, in the beginning and the middle.* Lastly, thinking about the new stars in #2, the only way that they would have come on, if they were promised some good time and shots, so if the others got these extras you guys wanted them to get....then they should have just continued with the same team from 1...and not bring in any others...which wouldn't have been right. IMO.PS. Just notice, how much the plot of this came from the Magnificent Seven, at least or maybe others before it. (The Seven Samurai?)

Also the 3 people who voted when it was only 1 pick should cancel their first vote and vote again.

Bummer, Can't set a number so changed it to, who on the list do you consider worthy of being on this list of 20

Watching Clint at the Convention, I started wondering....about some of the older actors...so for fun, pick 10 of the 20 choices, to get a good idea of who are the favorites of this group of 20. Edit - can't set a number of 20, so vote for who you think is worthy of being on this list of the greatest of yesterday! Comments OK Also if you want.... Who are the Best Movie Stars Listed Here of Yesterday? (10 out of 20 to get a good listing) [*]Clint Eastwood [*]Morgan Freeman [*]Charles Laughton [*]Robert DeNiro [*]Al Pacino [*]Jack Nicholson [*]Marlon Brando [*]Paul Newman [*]Dustin Hoffman [*]Peter Sellers [*]Gene Hackman [*]Robert DuVall [*]John Wayne [*]Anthony Quinn [*]Michael Caine [*]Sean Connery [*]Peter O'Toole [*]Harrison Ford [*]Robert Redford [*]Steve McQueen

I have to watch the first one again, but I agree with you on the second; they did a good job. You just had to enjoy what was on screen.

Taking someone points/comments and commenting on them is called a discussion or a debate. If you don't want that to happen, then you should take away the quote bar. Or are we all suppose to just say good things, when we quote other people. But that seems not very mature. IMO.

Baumer, why don't you lose the attitude! Where did I imply you were idiots? Why cause I said LOL/Whatever. Which is pretty mild in my opinion! Compared to some punk, who called me a retard in another thread! And your a MOD? So I think you should do a comparision.Anyway, I was just giving my opinion, and that guy said, he would have been OK, if another did that did that. So again, I stand by Whatever. ( Let me know if I am not allowed to say that!, on this site)and for your review,.....see just giving my opinion!LOL/WHATEVER! As you would be fine if one character did it, but lame that another character did it.And again, all the extended new roles, needed some others cut - Maggie, Willis, Arnold, Norris.And Dolph, played to his character, like Crews, he wasn't needed for more!

Wasn't the pilot's death, only to give River a bigger part, if there was a sequel. But the Preacher's death was interesting.PS. Talking about the Preacher, he must have had an interesting back-story - thinking of all his great scenes and comments from the tv series.

Ok, I got alittle annoyed with him, as sometimes he was so stupid, but I will go with you. For example, he could have save himself from the first meeting, either by saying I am a cop, taking the envelope...or just arrestin gthe car, and locking in him his car, where he could take the envelope.That said, I hated the stupid point of the movie - no brakes, no stopping, just drive through NYC mid-town traffic.

? I thought Statham had plenty to do! ? Norris bailing them out was a running joke, and not lame - or do you think all action has to be lifelike - like Stallone could really drive the plane into the cave, and not have it blow up. Anyway, I thought the first scene where Norris took out like 50 guys and a tank was funny! ? On Arnold, same as above - he was basically making an appearance, with his built in jokes. ? On Jet Li - sorry but they gave him a great fight, and then either he or they decided to only have him make an appearance - so others could do more in the move. ? Dolph did enough in the movie - he didn't need to do anymore - or did you want him doing something extra, that you would be calling lame now?

Really Bain had the machine and Bruce Wayne was bankrupt, so there was no way that Bain or Miranda were scared of Bruce/Batman! or they would have taken him earlier and not waited for him to come to them! They could have just walked up to the mansion!And then they could have gotten his finger-prints themselves!Etc, etc, etc.....

Bain knew that Bruce was Batman, from almost the first hour of the movie, from Jim Gordon's letter and Bain had nothing to worrying about from when he bankrupted Bruce and got the machine. After that Bruce was meaningless to them...and again Bain could have just shown up and taken Bruce from the mansion. Miranda had nothing to do/offer from that minute on. And you are incorrect, he didn't show her the fusion reactor until after he was bankrupt.

No big deal, I was just pointing it out, as once it is missed, no one thinks about it.Anyway, I don't mind reminding you, if it is missing, as I usually see 1 Friday night movie.
