Bad Santa - I'm really looking forward to his. :( I wouldn't worry about John Ritter.

Quote from: ShanghaiOrangeI wouldn't worry about John Ritter.

He's the only thing that sort of hurt my anticipation for this...him and the coens not directing, I still think it'll be cool though, Terry Zwigoff could be cool...I like Ghost World.

I guess I need to see the trailer before I see this one...it'll definitely be a rental if nothing else.

Aw, he's not that bad.  He cracked me up in "SlingBlade," and it's cool to hear him and Billy Bob are teaming up again for "Bad Santa."

And who doesn't love "Ghost World."

"Freedom of speech, baby!"

'Crumb' is one of the best documentaries ever. 'Ghost World' is pretty hype too. And with a Coen brothers script? No way will this film be bad.

Actually, I think it is, "rock and roll, baby, freedom of speech!"  I'm looking forward to this one.

I've had this on my radar for a while too.  The Coen brothers have yet to disappoint me.

This seems pretty cool to me, too.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Stay informed on protecting your freedom of speech and civil rights.

After looking at those caps, my gut tells me this movie's gonna kick solid ASS!!!

As a sidenote, I'm happy to see that Me, Myself and Irene midget again.

i am looking forward to this, but its going to flop hard.  its an R rated movie about santa claus.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

The draft I read of the script was absurdly wonderful.  Thornton tips strippers w/ scratch off lottery tickets, has sex w/ fat women in dept. store dressing rooms, vomits everywhere, and other awfulness occurs.  Yeah, probably not going to make much, but I suspect it will have a following.  Some friends saw an early version and rave about it.  Can't wait.

After seeing Crumb and Ghost World, I can conclude that there's a method to Zwigoff's madness.

Quote from: GloriaI heard that Bill Murray dropped out of the project and was later replaced with Billy Bob Thornton.

Yes, Bill Murray was originally attached, but dropped out for unspecified reasons.
