Point Break: A Beautiful Film

ha that post kinda rules

Had this outta the library for a week. Didn't watch it.

Well, you gave yourself a fair chance to watch it. What else can you do?

Oh wow, I didn't know Concrete Blonde was on the soundtrack.

Still, it's hilariously easy to spot the exact moments where Adam Carolla or somebody would go off on eviscerating how stupid this movie gets.

Sequel?

When Billy Dalton, military special ops and star surfer, is disqualified from the pro-surfing tour, he takes off for the coast of Bali looking for the perfect wave. While there hes recruited by a private security force who are trying to find a gang known as The Bush Administration, surfing outlaws and modern day pirates who work like The Ex-Presidents, a bank robbing crew from Malibu twenty years ago.

I'm guessing this might not be quite such a beautiful film.

Ha, James LeGros is in both versions.

wat why

geez i dont even like the first cheesefest that much except for the gay vibes, but really low to try this

where the fuck are the chili peppers

just tell us which alt-rock singer gets the shit beat out of him xpost

aging out of their youthful unattractiveness

xp

well that trailer showed a bit too much didn't it, we now know how shit its going to be already

the directors name is "Ericson Core"!

and the screenwriter (who also wrote the "Total Recall" remake) looks like this:

surely this will be a masterpiece.

i like the original movie well enough, but jesus christ on a cracker keanu reeves cannot line read.

listen to those lines when you can look at 28yo Keanu? i didnt hear most of em.

this is the original's writer:

need to work on my Ericson Core

Edgar Ramirez is a babe, obviously, but that Johnny Utah is some unknown lame-o

"extreme athletes," KISS MY ASS

so does everyone in PB now look like Gary Busey did then?

Eriscon Core was dp on the Mel Gibson remake of Point BLANK.

Coincidence???

man, it's getting tougher and tougher to remember how amazing Edgar Ramirez was in Carlos

haven't seen him in anything since except the functional role in Zero Dark Bullshit.

He's in a Roberto Duran biopic soon... with deNiro as the trainer.

that pic of the writer of the remake isn't showing up for me so i looked him up and feel it is important to share (again)

Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard in the Duran movie yoo

no Merd, mine is the ORIGINAL bandanna-and-cigar writer

xxpost extreme scripting

for all the exxxtreme-to-the-maxxxx action on display in this trailer i bet there's nothing as exciting as the sequence in the original where keanu chases swayze on foot over fences and thru alleys and houses, which remains fucking amazing

also this luke bracey guy does an amazing job of sucking the life from the screen every time he appears on it

i think my first mobile phone was an ericsson core btw

swayze at one point throws a pit bull at keanu, which almost makes up for zero dark

he does! at 1:53 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=113&v=kmvXdUaUqgA

ha! i forgot about the projectile pit bull.

as i recall that chase just goes on forever and it's great.

watched this tonight, man I forgot how stupid the second half is. it's about on par with a 70s doctor who episode in terms of plot.

that was a first-rate chase

and yes it is deeply stupid, but not pernicious

(unless yer a Buddhist perhaps)

some of the dialogue is kind of pernicious. it's pretty much an exercise in exuberance and style, and everything else is just wasted motion.

scheduled to be released on December 25

this remake looks like shit but 20 y.o. me would have loved spending Christmas watching the original

is going to the cinema on Christmas Day a thing in the US? i think they're maybe closed for the day in the UK

read today that the rock wants to star in a remake of big trouble in little china, confirming my suspicions that hollywood is attempting to fuck with all the movies i loved as a 15-year-old

Christmas is still a massive movie-going day in the US, as is Thanksgiving. A great way to pass a couple hours with family; nobody is allowed to talk.

Release date: 30 years ago today

First movie I ever saw when I was high. Freaked out inside when Utah almost got his head shoved in the lawnmower.

I just googled when it was released on VHS and one of the questions google suggested was, "is Point Break based on a true story?"

I just caught the second half of this last night. Loling at the part where the Ex-Presidents are so radical that when it comes time to make a bonfire, they don't open the container of lighter fluid, but stick a butterfly knife in it. Seems like a terrible bonfire/great way to set yourself on fire.

That's how you know they mean it.

such beautiful, boldly chosen nonsense

Lori Petty's character is as underwritten as any in film tho
