Plain Old Tele Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Kris Tapley at HitFix has an awesome retrospective on SPEED. He tracked down most of the lesser-known, supporting cast -- the people on the bus -- and interviewed them about their experiences making the movie. http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/speed-20th-anniversary-meet-the-passengers-of-bus-2525/1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Joss Whedon Was Left 'Pretty Devastated' After Losing 'Speed' Writing Credit http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/10/joss-whedon-speed_n_5473795.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 "In my whole career, I’ve never had to talk about it. I’ve never signed a copy of it, I’ve never sort of been a part of it. And I was proud of it, I worked hard on it, I had a really great time and I worked with really cool people. I thought it was good stuff. Graham has been very generous, but I did not get a credit on it. The studio gave me one, but then the Writers Guild of America took it away, and I was pretty devastated. I have the only poster with my credit on it." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Somehow I think Joss will get over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ever since I heard he was an uncredited writer for Speed, I just knew he was responsible for the best line in the movie. "Yeah, well I'm taller." Pure Whedon brilliance. One of my favorite action movies ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The 90s movies that I've discovered Whedon worked on make me go "Oh, yeah, that makes sense". Buffy(obviously) Speed Toy Story Waterworld Twister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 does anyone else think Reeves was actually pretty good in this film? He is bland in other movies but here he actually seemed lively and charismatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It's really weird seeing a bunch of people coming out on twitter today and saying it's "okay" and "passable."This is a completely preposterous movie that hits all the right beats and was impossibly tense. Yes, I can see all the bad angles and poor continuity and every mistake because I've seen it so many times. Who cares?? It's a blast and I'm going to go home and watch it tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I didn't get, and still don't, in the movie was - what is the lady doing with a pram full of soda cans? I like that it adds tension and makes the audience think the movie killed a baby, but do people walk around like that, or used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prams, or shopping carts, or whatever they can get their hands on to fill up with recyclables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 does anyone else think Reeves was actually pretty good in this film? He is bland in other movies but here he actually seemed lively and charismatic Nah, when he finds the hidden hole under the bin and tells Sandra bullock to freeze, he gives one of the most cringe inducing speeches ive ever heard. The guy is probably the most likeable guy in Hollywood but man does he suck lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
