Did any film play tricks to you, i.e. you thought some character was good then he shows true colors & vice versa?

I can usually tell if a person is going to turn heel, but the ending of The Sixth Sense surprised the heck out of me the first time I saw it. 

[RangeRoverA1]

Well? Any vice versa example? When you think smb.'s bad but in fact they're good?

Not really that I can think of.

Fun question time - if you were told to play baddie, who would it be?

Well. If this question offended you, I'll change it. Is there any movie in which you recognized the locations? Maryland/ Baltimore?

I think playing The Joker would be fun.   

There are several movies I've seen that were filmed in Baltimore, or Maryland - Red Dragon, Major League II, Pecker, The Replacements, Serial Mom, Cry Baby, etc.

Remember Diner? It was filed in Baltimore and featured very youthful Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Daniel Stern, and others who later made it big.
Balto was director Barry Levinson's hometown.

I'm not sure how I left off Diner, as it's a great movie, and it is very much loved in Baltimore, especially by fans of the Baltimore Colts.

2KDS: You said way back you read "Meg", will see film. Is there book you read you really wish is adapted to big screen? Either fiction or about music band etc.

I read a really good book called 12 Days of Terror about the 1916 shark attacks off the coast of NJ.    Those attacks apparently inspired Peter Benchley to write Jaws. 

!2 Days of Terror was made into a movie, which was pretty decent, but it was made with a tiny budget, and I think it went straight to video.   I wouldn't mind seeing another attempt with a bigger budget, as long as it's not CGI heavy.

Would you like to see animated series being shifted to films with real people? F.ex. "Merrie Melodies" stars animals, in films it will star humans.

I'm really not a fan of the live action movies based on cartoons.   I just don't think it translates, and once you get past the novelty of seeing John Goodman as Fred Flintstone, you realize that you're watching a pretty lackluster version of a great show.  

The only one that I think could work if done right is King of the Hill, but unlike most animated shows, King of the Hill was pretty grounded in reality (except for the fact that Bobby never aged)

Who is to you the best movie duet? F.ex. Chich & Chong (sp?), Laurel & Hardy. List few examples.

Wait you mean like the Looney Tunes characters as humans? Cause I can see Danny Devito playing Tweety

[RangeRoverA1]

2KDS - which actors who didn't cross paths you think could be good duet, you wish them be movie team?

2ChewBecca - disagree about De Vito as Tweety. Doesn't look like that bird. To me, humans must fit who they play. F.ex. Taz would fit Robert Mitchum. Etc.

Watched three Twilight movies today while supervising girls in cottages in residential treatment center where I teach. Meh. Can't understand how not one, or two, but three young men were so enamored of "Bella," with two willing to sacrifice their lives for her. Nothing particularly compelling about her, neither physically nor in terms of her personality.  But I recall seeing an interview with John Cowsill's brother, Paul, who said that he had the job of obtaining, moving, bracing, hiding evidence thereof of the trees in the outdoor forest scenes. It seems that it was too difficult to move filming equipment in and out, find clear areas to shoot scenes, etc., so this was what was done. Paul said that he helped the nervous not-yet-stars to learn their lines and that they had to stay out of the sun in order to look pale.

Interesting film!

I would love to see Will Ferrell and Bill Murray do a movie together.

Ha! You're easily scared.


2KDS - sure, 2 comedians playing in comedy. Any random "2 different actors playing as team in movie" picks?

How about Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis starring in a movie together?   

[RangeRoverA1]

Yes, they'd be good "2 boring actors" team.

Which song you hear & instantly think about specific movie? Any songs like that?

The one that springs to mind is The Cars "Moving in Stereo."   It's impossible for me to hear that song without thinking of Pheobe Cates in her red bikini coming out of the swimming pool in Fast Times. 

[RangeRoverA1]

Speaking of bikini - did you see David Hasselhof/ BBs-related series "Baywatch"? Is it good?
