Hardcore Mel Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 What a pile of balls! Went to see Number 23 last night only to be told there was a 'technical difficulty.' The bint first offered us Norbit instead and was almost vommed on at the prospect so decided on Ghost Rider. I wasn't expecting much but Christ on a cross, it was just awful. Guess they spent their script budget on making the CGI really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they spent their script budget on making the CGI really cool.It is actually vying for the title of worst film i've ever seen along with Alien Vs Predator.I know Cage is a Ghost Rider fan but he must've owed someone something to agree to do that. The only passable parts of the film were Eva Mendes pert boobs which thankfully distracted me from her god awful acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cage is one of those actors where the question of "why do people keep employing him?" comes up again, and again, and again, and again.

Brilliant in Raising Arizona, Wild At Heart & Leaving Las Vegas, absolutely festering minge in everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'll concede that Wild at Heart is good. Still, one nugget of gold in a steaming pile of shit, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being Francis Ford Coppolla's nephew has a lot to do with his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonza.I thought it was so shit that it became entertaining through it's shitness. Didn't relate too much to the comic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The RockCon AirFace/OffThese may be big, dumb action movies, but damn are they entertaining, especially Con Air. And Face/Off was directed by John Woo. JOHN WOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonza.Eva Mendes - watched her in some pot-boiler the other night that had Denzel Washington in it. She's gorgeous, but I doubt Streep, Dench, Mirren, Blanchett et al have got very much to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Indeed, but I know who I'd rather have sexy time with Me too. Cate Blanchett - a woman ethereal in her beauty and elegence.Eva Medes is lovely, but I think post-coitius, she's be one of those cheerleader types who never finshes a sentence "Like I was just so...*giggle*" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I can't believe you're all slating the Cage! His big-action roles are a bit generic but how much real acting can you do in a film that's all about the special effects? He totally shines through on the indy stuff like The Weatherman, Matchstick Men, Adaptation, Lord Of War... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreskin Ninja Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Badly written with good special effects but who gives a fuck about effects when every big film made these days has good special effects. I don't like Cage although he has been a part of some decent films, his role as Ghost Rider couldn't have been more ill-suited; cool bike though.
