John Campea 16 Comments

Hey there folks. Sorry for the lack of podcast the last 2 weeks, but as you’ll hear in the podcast, I’ve been down in Los Angeles so we’re doing one today instead. We’ll be back to our regular Monday schedule next week… although we’ll probably do another podcast this Friday too.

At any rate, thanks take some time to download or stream this installment of Uncut as Doug and I discuss:

1) TMB moving to Los Angeles

2) The 10 Worst Films of the Year

3) The 2007 Movie Blog Awards being named

4) Peter Jackson is on as a Producer for The Hobbit

5) Actors just taking the pay cheque

6) The Rite

All this and a few things more.

    mkfreak2 you are so right. zodiac is a fucking great great film.

    john…i can’t remember what thread we were talking about golden compass on but i remember that we were and i claimed they were selling it as the new lord of the rings and you said that they weren’t…..

    now i just saw the trailer again last night and as the captions talk about the fact new line took us to middle earth they have on screen, literally, a gold ring literally into a golden compass….

    do you seriously not see that as selling this as the new lord of the rings? that goes beyond “from the people who brought you lotr”

    again….they have a ring literally turn into a compass. it doesn’t get much more clear that that….i mean they were also the studio that distributed dungeons and dragons…why not mention that..hell they released the house party series and austin powers..why not tout those too?

    they sold it as the new rings. plain and simple.

    Hey guys. Great podcast.
    Just so you know, Saoirse Ronan’s name is pronounced SEER-sha. Very Irish.

    Zodiac is hands down the best film of the year. Expecting Se7en or Silence of the Lambs were you? Zodiac is a different kind of thriller. It’s a movie that sits back and just tells a story from multiple perspectives and manages to thoroughly entertain and keep attention. It doesn’t actually focus on the Zodiac killer himself, but on the people effected. It’s a look at obsession and it’s consequences on our lives. It’s a very deep character study. For a 2 hour 40 minute movie, it felt to me like only 90 minutes. It was THAT good.

    But I’m glad to hear you guys giving so much praise to Gone Baby Gone and Eastern Promises, my second and third best films of the year.

    As for your worst of list, I quite enjoyed Number 23. Why the hell wasn’t Epic Movie on the list of worsts?

    I’m wondering why Hot Fuzz, Shoot ‘Em Up, The Simpson’s Movie, and Planet Terror weren’t even mentioned in the “Best Of” segment. In terms of pure enjoyment, these were at the top of the list for me.

    Disagree about your comments on Zodiac. Brilliant movie. Riveting from start to finish.

    Just listened to the podcast. That was my John Turturro / Transformers crack, I’m glad it left an impression.
    Good to have you guys podcasting again.

    Also I think REDACTED should have been on the Worst List. As a left leaning anti-war kinda guy, I thought that this film was proof positive that most festivals don’t know a damn thing.
