Stop picking on this movie. It's awesome.
no
We will stop picking on this movie as long as it goes away for ever...
I could go for an old fashioned cliche' like Vin Diesel Ate My Balls right about now.
I use to defend this movie. Not anymore. The ridiculousness of most actions scenes is just too much. Though I still admire the honesty of what the film is when it doesn't try to give any sort of story that has any mention of the word "drama".
Rent "The Bourne Identity" instead.

are you the one on the other board that got pissed at me for always using it as an example for bad cinema?
Once in a laboratory, someone glued a whole bunch of horse-shit together, then using Lightning and Hollywood pixie dust, brought it to life.
That steaming, walking pile of horse shit is Vin Diesel, who gained my respect as the voice of the Iron Giant, then lost it all when I saw him actually speak.
I like this movie. It keeps a lot of stupid people off the streets for a couple hours.
me not included
OK, I had to do it. Spank me later...

no way no how. spank your own damn self
Ok, but come on, anything and I stand by it, anything with Asia Argento in it can't be all that bad cause you know you gonna see some hot lickin T and A BOO YA! And she's a cute/great/wonderful actress to boot. And her daddy's Dario mutha fuckin Argento. BOO YAs
I watched XXX this past weekend. I figured it wouldn't be good, but I thought the action scenes would be respectable. They weren't.
This movie is horrible, worse than I even imagined.
Ohhh! now I miss the old yoda ate my balls site...."eat them i will."
COME ON GUYS! You're not saying this is a movie you'd watch with your friends to make fun of at the really bad lines (ie "the things i'm gonna do for my country"), a movie that you'd watch to look at some hot titties, a movie that you just watch the action sequences and say, "damn, that's cool when shit gets blown up!"? It's a stupid movie, it wasn't meant to be anything more than a stupid movie, it serves it's purpose. It's a good example of fun, cheese-ball, leave your brain at the door action movie - not a good example for the worst movie ever made, because it's not.
Taz has a point about the titties.
Maybe I'll watch it after all...
I don't recall Titties. Isn't it rated PG13?
Quote from: SHAFTRI don't recall Titties.
Vin Diesel is a boob, does that count?

now that's a good movie (THE IRON GIANT). let's talk about that instead of XXX
Reported on IMDB:
Up-and-coming action hero Vin Diesel ordered a waitress to open a bottle of juice in front of him - in case someone poisoned it. The XXX star was drinking in Miami's Sabor bar when the waitress put a carafe of cranberry juice on his table to mix with his vodka. But the safety-conscious Hollywood actor took offence and demanded she fetch another. A clubber told website Page Six, "The waitress had to go and get an unopened, sealed bottle of Tropicana cranberry juice and open it in front of him - like it was Cristal."
Xixax, have you been slipping things into Diesel's drinks to make him poo funny?
IMDB's reports have really slid even further down hill from what they once were. Now their stories are either "_____ blasts _____ for ______" or "The steamy (INSERT MOVIE TITLE) actress was recently spotted dancing it up into the late of night at New York's _______"
Quote from: bonanzatazXixax, have you been slipping things into Diesel's drinks to make him poo funny?
Oh, man. I would totally pay money to see Vin Diesel get the shits.
I wouldn't want him to get hurt or anything, I just think it'd be hilarious to see mr. self-consumed macho man carrying around a load of fecal matter in his tighty whiteys.
Vin Diesel Starring in NY Giant
Taking on his first romantic comedy role, Vin Diesel will star in and produce Revolution Studios' NY Giant, to be written by The Wedding Planner scribes Michael Ellis and Pamela Falk, says The Hollywood Reporter.
"Giant," a tentative title, is about a hotheaded football player who is forced to deal with an uptight female etiquette expert or risk losing his lucrative endorsement contract. In the process, the unlikely pair fall in love.
Diesel is readying production on Universal Pictures' Riddick, part of "The Chronicles of Riddick," which continues the adventures of Diesel's intergalactic character first introduced in Pitch Black.
Quote from: Revolution StudiosIn the process, the unlikely pair fall in love.
i think i saw this one before...it's called "Every Romantic Comedy Ever Made"
You guys ever wonder if "high-octane thrill ride" is secret critic talk for "Do not see this shit" ?
xXx was in my local cinemas, Punch Drunk Love wasn't. Why allow this and other travesties like it to recoocur by boosting its rental sales?
Quote from: The Gold Trumpet
Rent "The Bourne Identity" instead.
Exactly.
Yuck. Bourne Identity was a piece of doggy doo doo.
Bourne Identity Scribe is Back for Sequel
Universal Pictures has rehired The Bourne Identity scribe Tony Gilroy to adapt Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Supremacy.
In "Supremacy" a Chinese vice-premier has been slain by the legendary assassin Jason Bourne. Of course, there is no Jason Bourne. The identity is simply a cover for the CIA's David Webb. But with someone else assuming the Bourne identity, the U.S. must find a way to avert a international diplomatic scandal that imperils Sino-American peace.
Cool, now I don't have to see the Bourne Identity.
Sweet! theyre going to make the bourne supremacy next then!! woot! :D
Ice Cube Replaces Vin Diesel in XXX Sequel
Source: Variety
Ice Cube will replace Vin Diesel in the Revolution sequel to its action franchise XXX, to be directed by Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day).
Originally envisioned as a franchise to star Diesel, Cube will step in to play a new character who is recruited by the National Security Agency to become a XXX agent. The XXX name refers to a three-strikes rule the NSA employs to give criminals the option of joining the crime-fighting force or going to prison.
Tamahori will direct the new adventure, which will be largely set in Washington D.C. and emphasize thriller elements over the first's extreme sports action. He will helm from a script by Simon Kinberg (Mr. and Mrs. Smith). Revolution plans to begin shooting next summer for a 2005 release.
Vin Diesel next stars in The Chronicles of Riddick, Universal's followup to Pitch Black, and did not want to film two sequels back-to-back.
Diesel will instead star in Hannibal for Revolution. Written by Gladiator screenwriter David Franzoni, the film follows the exploits of the 3rd century B.C. Carthaginian general who rode an elephant across the Alps to attack Rome.
I'm pretty suprised. Cube is the new 'xXx' huh? Cool. Quite a strange move on the studios behalf. Tamahori directing it? Nooooo. He directed the stunning 'Once Were Warriors' but fucked up the last Bond installment. But then the original 'xXx' was a dissapointment, it should've been so freakin cool, so I guess the only way is up.
Hopefully Cube will bring on the 'coolness' with this one. It could end up being a nifty series if a new star is brought in each time.
There's no point in saying 'I wonder if it'll work without Diesel?', the 'Fast & Furious' sequel did. Ya never know.
Vin Diesel gets many cool points for this.
Ice Cube as the action star in the new xXx? I like Cube with Friday and all, but this may not be too good. Hey, I guess anything different for xXx can't be too bad........sorry Taz.
Since xXx was supposed to be the new Bond........I wonder how it will go over. Anyone remember Will Smith in the Wild Wild West? I didn't even waste my time on that one.
I guess no Asia Argento in this sequal, eh?
Quote from: coffeebeetleAsia Argento
I'd eat her up like Sargento Asiago Shredded cheese......she made the movie worth watching a few more times.
