Have you guys seen the trailer for Radio yet? Oh my god, this looks amazing....amazingly horrible! What was anyone involved with this thinking?
http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/radio/
Except for Cuba Gooding Jr., everyone knows what HE was thinking. Make money, make ignorant white folks happy, etc. At first I thought that it at least looked like a step up from Boat Trip...but then he opened his mouth! The teeth! THE TEETH!
I can't wait to see this one bomb.
I saw this trailer...it's beautiful. I laughed until I almost cried. People in the theater just stared.
I don't know if I should have been laughing at Cuba as much as I did.

Wow, I was in tears after the trailer...and not the outpouring of sympathy or joy but an entirely new level of sadness....
....and shit, I know someone already posted about this, but: OMG WTF is UP with those TEETH!?!?!?
FALSE! FALSE!
Oh god. Please make it stop. It's even using that same crazy inspirational theme music.

That's the first thing I thought...how many times has that music been whored out to feel-good movie trailers?
I thought of it as October Sky meets Brian's Song, only the black guy's retarded.
....i am not a cuba fan...HE ALWAYS OVER-ACTS/OVER-PLAYS every role....(think the ultra-chessfest he displyed in Pearl Harbor..and men of honor).........he doesn't seem to take a lot of good roles IMO..unless that stupid boat movie was considered a "good" role..and the ..LOL!!! the ice cream truck role was "good" also.. those are some examples (i am not saying every role he takes is bad).......even in Jerry M...i couldn't believe he won an acad. award for that . :shock: ......he even over-acted on his aceptance speech..........Ghostboy....i know what yopu mean about this film.

oh yeah....chill factor .lol. thants the name of another cuba classic..
If Spike Lee ever reissues Bamboozled for some reason with an updated montage at the end, I'm sure there will be a clip from this in there.
The sad thing is that Cuba is actually talented. It's almost impossible to believe...and he sure as hell didn't deserve that Oscar...but he made an impressive debut a million years ago.

on the old CandC board
Pants, my friend...seriously please kill this reference, as you have been using it too much lately. It's a dead end, and if you wanna make a point, not everyone will understand it. A more cutural diverse, mambo inspired reference is at least something all can understand. Not hatin' just sayin'.
i can't believe i agree with acJJ on this. u don't mention the C&C boards in months and then in one week it's the sudden reference for oppressive regime? um quite the opposite, by the time C&C finished everyone was allowed to be like u and hence there was no point to continuing it. also, who the fuck cares about C&C that died years ago.

OOooooohhh Gad.
What a terrible poster. This is begging for parodies (which is why I have to see it).
Hey Bonanzataz! This could be the best movie of the year!
I think that in the back of Ed Harris I can see two helmet football players making out. Also, it kinda looks like Cuba's swinging from a rope...
At first I thought this thread was gonna talk about the accomplishments of Wesley Willis. It would've made pretty good timing with his recent death...
aw
Guess they couldn't get Beetlejuice?
THIS film i wont miss.
Quote from: AlguienEstolamiPantalones... your love of cubas teeth leads me to think that your fucking funny as shit
Your all-to-sudden embrace of this guy has me seriously worried.
Also, no matter how convincingly Cuba does 'tard, Sean Penn will always be my favorite. He didn't even need the teeth.
Requirements for American Heros:
1) Survive the 9/11 attacks
AND/OR
2) Be retarded
just out of curiousity, did any retard get attacked on 9/11, and if, did any survive. that is just perfect.
in denmark we have this arcecar driver named jason watt which noone gave a shit about until he suddenly crashes his car, gets numb from the waste down and gets divorced. then he was suddenly all over the media all the time in every magazine and he even has his own tv show.
arsecar?

Hmm, that's a lot like this highschool story I have: this punk 11th grader kid had some fairly rich parents, and they bought him a new car. Nothing amazing, but fairly nice anyway. And everyday him and his 2 idiot buddies would peel out of the lot doing 80+ kms (limit is 50). They would wheel by and cut people off, and everyday I said "one day those morons are gonna hit somebody, and maybe crash and die, and it won't be so funny". Well, sure enough, a few weeks later they have to swerve out of the way of another car or pedestrian or something, and end up wrapping around a pole. They all have massive cuts and bruises, one guy breaks his leg, and the other guy almost has permanent spine damage (though it later turned out to not be too bad). Well, I think to myself, that's what you bastards deserved. But no, when they come to school a week later, what happens? Heroes. Apparently, crashing a car and almost killing your friends makes girls really like you. The week after this, his parents buy him a newer, faster car, and he gets dates from a whole bevy of babes. And he continues speeding out of the lot. Lesson learned, I guess.
I swear, everybody wanted to talk about the kid, as if he'd really done something amazing.
Now
that's retarded.
this reminds me of the Andy Richter Controls the Universe episode called "Give Me A C!" in which Andy (see avatar) gains new respect for his asshole boss because he finds out he has cancer. Was anyone else thinking that? No of course not, I was the only person who watched that show
reminds me of episode Radio Bart (s.3)
Homer: That Timmy is a real hero!
Lisa: How do you mean, Dad?
Homer: Well, he fell down a well, and... can't get out.
Lisa: How does that make him a hero?
Homer: Well, it's more than you did!

um nah he and duck sauce are good now. also u change too much emotionally every day to be anyone. u are ebeaman. congratulations.
so if godardian was the new cinephile does that make me Cinephile or what? If you say "No; chopped liver," I won't be upset.
:: walks up to podium, straight'ns tie, begins to speak into microphone.::
..continuing in the same vein as boat rtrip, chill factor, and radio.., Cuba will also be seen in a brilliant mtv produced film The fighting Tempatations, along side beyonce...
::steps down from podium and ponders w/ Ghostboy what happened after boyz in the Hood?::
Some of my friends are so astounded by the awfulness of the Radio trailer, we're seriously contemplating getting loaded and seeing it. If I laugh as hard as I did for that 2 1/2 minutes during that movie-- it's a winner. Love them teeth!
And to paraphrase a favorite quote from Bill Maher that caught him some flack: "When someone has a kid that's retarded 'they're a hero. they're so brave...' No, they're not! It makes no sense to me. I have two dogs and no calls me a hero-- it's essentially the same thing."
I have a friend that's trying to get into movies and he says to me one day, "Oh man, I have got to see Radio!" :-D
he was serious :(
Are you sure he didn't mean to say destroy "Radio," and then he says "destroy!" a couple more times for emphasis, then pulls out his death ray?
Yeah, I'm sure that's what he meant to say.
.... :? ..
has anyone noticed that the tv spots for this film ... one of them making this film like a comedy.
and the other like .a drama?
Everytime I see it I laugh and I know I shouldn't. Why is this movie being made? Is it this necessary to glorify retarded people? How is it uplifting to see this guy be a waterboy who touches lives? I mean seriously, do they ever think about scripts anymore or is it like "We haven't had an uplifting movie about retards in a while, what do you think?" *Writing team nods in zombie-like unison*
Written by Mike Rich, the same guy who wrote Finding Forrester... I think... hmmm...
Anyway, that guy is a huge deal in Portland, at least the mainstream. A onetime morning radio DJ there. He was covered big by The Oregonian when Forrester came out... they also mentioned on-again, off-again Portlander van Sant a little bit, too, though he was not living in Portland at that time.
van Sant (usually) = :)
Rich = :roll:
Hmm, yes, fuck this trailer, and fuck this movie. It appears to be everything I truly hate in the film biz.
The worst part is, my parents will probably be all jazzed to go see this. Too bad they'll never enjoy their son's films...
Quote from: SoNowThenThe worst part is, my parents will probably be all jazzed to go see this. Too bad they'll never enjoy their son's films...
Your parents are the enemy of cinema as well?
arent they all?
My parents aren't. They love Magnolia.
My parents apparently have great taste in comedies. They love Guest's films and a lot of the Coens' films. Come to think of it, my mom is actually a big movie lover, especially film noir, considering that she grew up on it. However, she is still a mom, so she was kinda turned off by all the cursing in Magnolia, but I think she thought it was good otherwise (she did happen to mention first off that Tom Cruise's package had to be fake, this is one of the only things I remember her saying about Magnolia, lol).

Your parents are the enemy of cinema as well?
Well, they're getting better. They do try now. But it's mostly to please me, not so much because they get enjoyment out of it. But they've always liked Magnolia.
The thing is, they don't even like shit movies like this. Yet they rent 3 of them a weekend. Then, every Monday, I talk to my dad and he says "you wouldn't believe the terrible movies we rented", and I always say I do believe, and why won't he take some of my suggestions. And then he always says "we don't like those weird, boring, depressing movies you watch. We only want quick entertainment, and a reason to eat snacks and fall asleep on the couch". Which I know is not the case, because these are fairly intelligent people, and I know that when the time is right they really get into good flicks. So I dunno, society has fed that shit into them that they "only want entertainment" (whatever that means), and they have to see certain movies because the little tv tells them to. But they for sure won't be on board for a good 60% of my films. Which is very depressing at times...
I must be the only person here who saw this. It's not a horrible film. The trailers make it look like everyone will be saying, "You go, retarded boy!" but it wasn't really like that. It embodies a lot of the feel-good film cliches, such as the guy who hates Radio in the beginning is one of his supporters at the end, and there being a villain character, but I thought the film overall was watchable. Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding, Jr's performances were good. Don't expect complexity in this film and you may like it.
does the "villian" fall down in the mud at all? and everyone laughs at him? that'd be awesome.
Quote from: abuck1220does the "villian" fall down in the mud at all? and everyone laughs at him? that'd be awesome.
No, but Radio falls in the mud once.
I don't think it was a really bad movie either. It was okay, but certainly not great. The audience really loved it. Everybody around me was crying, laughing and cheering. Funny, notice that Kill Bill was number 1 the first week and then dropped like a stone when word got out that it was a great movie. Yet Radio keeps going pretty strong at the box office even though it got tons of bad reviews. But what else should I expect from the audience??? :roll:

Gooding Takes NAACP Award for 'Radio'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Receiving the NAACP's Image award for his portrayal of James Robert "Radio'' Kennedy was particularly sweet for Cuba Gooding Jr., who was stung by criticism that his portrayal of the mentally disabled man was too negative.
"I'm proud of the performance because the man's mannerisms were very indicative of the character that I portrayed,'' Gooding said after receiving the best actor in a motion picture award Saturday night.
"A lot of the situations in the movie came from actual events,'' he said. "Sometimes the truth is hard to watch but it's my job to bring the truth to the screen.''
Kennedy became an inspiration first for the football team at T.L. Hanna High School and then the entire community.
uhh.......
