Last Michael Keaton movie I watched was White Noise. Did that movie strangle his career for a while or was it something else? edit: Wow, Michael did White Noise in 2005 and then in 2006 all he got was a bit part in Cars and some independent film, and then nothing until 2009. And chalk me up as one of those guys who doesn't like most Will Ferrell comedy. I've seen him in Zoolander and while I disliked most of that movie, I liked his part there. I've also liked his shorts that I've seen on the internet. Just something about long-form Will Ferrell makes me unhappy. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jun 20, 2013 |

Michael Keaton is awesome but Bill Murray was spot-on casting in Groundhog Day. One fairly recent Michael Keaton movie is the Merry Gentleman, which he also directed. It's been a long while since I saw it but I remember it being really enjoyable. Kelly Macdonald is in it, too.

Honestly Keaton is the only guy who could have probably pulled off Groundhog Day aside from Murray. If you think about it, it's the kind of role that someone would have written for Chevy Chase but Chase would have been too hammy to pull off. That's how Murray fits into it so well. You can see the frustration on his face. You can see the exhaustion. Keaton could have pulled it off but wouldn't have had the magic that's Bill Murray.Lotish posted:Last Michael Keaton movie I watched was White Noise. Did that movie strangle his career for a while or was it something else? He did nothing special between 1997 and 2010 after Jackie Brown (except Live from Baghdad, which I'd say is one of the better HBO films behind RKO 281). Jack Frost is specifically terrible but Keaton still manages to be enjoyable at times. He was originally cast as Jack in Lost (Jackie Brown, Jack Frost, Jack in Lost, I swear it's coincidence) but didn't like the fact it was a long term role. Maybe he just took it easy? Or as I like to believe, he was just grossly mishandled.

The original plan was for them to hype Michael Keaton as the star all summer, commercials, interviews, previews, the whole nine yards, and then kill him off 10 minutes into the show. Remember when the guy got sucked into the engine? That was supposed to be him.

The story I head was that he was originally going to be Jack and since he didn't want to commit to a series his character would die at the end of the pilot and Kate would become the 'leader' of the group. They changed it up when he didn't take the role and Matthew Fox was cast instead.

What I've always heard is he was supposed to die on the plane, where Greg Grunberg does. They created the pilot character when they changed the plans for Jack.

Robert Denby posted:Everybody forgets "The Other Guys". Ferrel gets some good moments in, especially his backstory that he was a pimp during college, plus the action is surprisingly well done, Micheal Keaton is hysterical, and the bits with Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson are basically worth the price of admission alone. The little bit of light on his neck makes Affleck look like a priest at first glance.

Wow. That's from the Amores Peros/21 Grams/Babel guy? On one hand I'd love for a departure from his style, on the other I'd take a dour intersecting narrative involving a Birdman.

I never found Andie MacDowell all that good looking even, she has the presence of a shower rod but also the build of one. I've never seen her in anything where her performance wasn't completely forgettable.

DNS posted:You know what I was imagining the other day? Michael Keaton in Die Hard. It works perfectly. Just picture him going "fists with your toes..." A complaint I've heard leveled at the Die Hard series is Bruce Willis is pretty much the definition of a bad-rear end now, when the original Die Hard was built on the premise of taking a guy who wasn't bad rear end and having them take that bull by the horns. Bruce was originally known for, what, romantic comedies before Die Hard? Keaton could probably do a pretty good Die Hard, is what I'm saying.

The first poster much better suits the review tagline of "A grand, doomed love story". Mind you, I have no idea how accurate it is, but it sounds enticing as hell.

As I said, everyone I talked to at Sundance that saw it said it was really dull. I have no idea what that means though. I'm still gonna keep my eye on it though. Here's the description from the Sundance site:Sundance posted:Bob Muldoon and Ruth Guthrie, an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration. So, it does sound like it could be good. "Boring" is one of the least useful things I can hear about a movie, even if that person ends up being right. Edit: Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6FhsOYXRAY Speaking of Sundance have a poster for a movie I did see. The movie sucked but I like the poster )even if it's kind of minimalist and I know all you hate that).

Yeah, that's a poster that does minimalism right, in that you get across what the film is about (a horror movie set in the woods I'm assuming) in a way that's visually somewhat interesting.

Have there been many movie posters meant to be seen on a computer? I know there was that Wolverine poster that had animated rain, but it seems like there is a lot of fun things that could be done using a device display as a medium, like the above poster that works for scrolling.

The problem with most minimalist posters is that they're too complicated, not too simple.

The Riddle of Feel posted:The problem with most minimalist posters is that they're too complicated, not too simple. Exactly. The minute you add a paper texture or a gradient to your minimalist poster, it stops being minimalist. People spend too much time making it look like it's something somebody crinkled up and threw away and not enough time coming up with meaningful symbolic representations of the film.
