Re: Total Recall
What the what? How many action advernture movies follow a coward into hiding?
Why didn't Trey just hitch a ride out of the hood?
Why didn't that principal in "Lean On Me" just quit?
McClane could have been like, "fuck this, Holly has life insurance".
No offense, dude. But you sound like a coward and a rat.

Re: Total Recall
I saw Sharon Stone walking around in NYC about a year ago and she looked amazing. Wasn't wearing that much makeup either.

Re: Total Recall
17 minutes was cut out of it? Why? Seems like Wiseman has a home there w/ Sony. Thought they'd let him do whatever w/ it...guess not.
So for those of you that saw it and didn't dig it...could 17 mins help it out or are the flaws you saw just inherent to the film itself?

Re: Total Recall
When Sharon was in his early to mid 30's (circa Basic Instinct) She was indeed a vibrant and sexy woman. Even now at 54 she's still a very attractive woman. Honestly, IMO it's hard to compare her with Kate and Jessica. It's 2 different eras. IMO a 38 year old Kate Beckinsale is just as hot and maybe even a little sexier than a 32 year old Stone from 1990.

Possibly, but it's hard to say. The Rated R version of Die Hard 4 is marginally better than the PG-13 theatrical, because of the added blood and curse words. I dug the director's cut of the first Underworld film even though a lot of folks say that version way too long.
I think if that Ethan Hawke scene was restored, in context, it could be a slight improvement. Not to mention the geography and name of the actual colonies that were changed at the last minute due to Asian companies having invested in the film. I think one of the territories was called "New Asia" or something before they dubbed or deleted the reference.
Cinema Blend did an article on all of this that I'm quoting, so I'll see if I can get the link to the article.

Here you go - too large to copy and paste, so I'll link it. The movie was mediocre, but all of this is very interesting.

Re: Total Recall
What are you, fucking 14-years-old?? Blood and cuss words do not make a good film a great film. That movie was a failure because of the wretched story, script, and overall direction involved in it's inherent making.

Re: Total Recall
That's all I cared about in a Die Hard movie. Not one of those films ever went back to the greatness that was the original, so don't get all butt hurt about it.

Re: Total Recall
Just can back from this. I liked the trailers and the cast but the reviews were harsh enough to curb my enthusiasm. So expectations weren't high going in but I enjoyed it. All action, moved quickly and told a pretty decent story. Kate Beckinsale is stunning.

Re: Total Recall
Agreed. LFODH was a decent action flick but a sub-par Die Hard flick. Putting the edited stuff out made it a little better...if for no other reason than not being super distracting to see it poorly removed.
