moothemagiccow: JoePiscopoJr.: LOL I just saw Ol' Lane Meyer at C2E2. He doesnt mind nerds shelling out 40 bucks for his autograph but he minds them spending 10 bucks to see movies that fufill their nerdly fantasies?? Eff you Cusack, you were better off dead.

literally none of this made sense

I can explain his sentiment. He is angry because he has seen that John Cusack's disdain for the big budget Hollywood crap as expressed in this article hasn't prevented him from cashing in on it in the meantime (see - The Raven) and so, as a fan of the genre he doesn't see why Cusack should denigrate superhero films while simultaneously profiting from them.

He was on Dan Le Batard's show this week, and he specifically mentioned how he's tired of people shouting that at him.

So I hope you get your chance to f*ck with him.

Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed by it. A movie in which a major literary figure has to stop a criminal using their works as inspiration is a fun movie idea. Even Poe's stories lend themselves well if you had to choose a figure. It just looks like they botched the execution of the thing.

Eirik: debug: Walker: HeartBurnKid: Is Mr. Cusack new to Hollywood? Hasn't he realized by now that latching onto a trend and riding it to death is all Hollywood does?

Don't worry, John. Eventually, this generation's Batman and Robin will come along, and then the studios will move on to exploiting something else to death. Probably '80s toys, since that trend seems to be growing.

YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!

That game goes back a lot further then the 80's. The current iteration that most people are familiar with is from the 60's.

Hollywood has always done remakes and reboots. Hell, the "Maltese Falcon" that we all know that starred Bogart was a remake of a ten year old movie of the same name, which itself was made from a book.

"Then there's a middle range film, which I think is important for movies. I'd love to see this space be a little easier."

Simple fact is that very few people go and see movies at the cinema that don't fall into the following categories:-

1) Horror
2) Date movies
3) Action movies

Drama is now a TV genre more than a movie one.

Yeah, I would imagine this sort of thing to be a lower budget mystery with interesting dialogue and a lot of mental treats for those familiar with Poe's work. I don't think that's what we're getting. I think we're getting something that was written for Depp, but he passed on it because it wasn't good enough.

This is true, but not necessarily a good thing. The old line between "TV actors" and "Film Actors" has been essentially erased, with several cable channels even succeeding broadcast in terms of acting chops.

However, sometimes having a story that is shot and done in 90 minutes - two hour range is better than trying to include the same ideas in a season. TV shows going on and on past their creative usefulness is as bad as any other Hollywood trend.

Because clearly the Westerns and War films of the 1930s -1950s were accurate.

Go watch Iron Man. They did a great job with the costume in that, and it's one of the best of the modern superhero films (I'd probably rank it second behind The Dark Knight).

Normally, I think people who harrass celebrities IRL are retards, but if I ever run into him, I'm soooooooo shouting "two dollars!!!" at him repeatedly. By all accounts, the guy is a dick. Apart from being an asshole in general, he screamed at Better Off Director, Steve Holland, for ruining his career when he saw the finished cut. They were still in the middle of shooting One Crazy Summer. He refused to speak to him for the remainder of the shoot.

Also, he's one of those Hollywood assholes that walks into a store, picks out something he wants, and is shocked -shocked- when he gets asked to pay for it.

actually, He and Savage Steve Holland were great buddies, Cusack even helped edit the film with him.

it wasn't till the premier that he flipped out.

they didn't talk for years, I understand that the feud has calmed down in the past few years, but, still when you look at it.. if Cusack was so pissed off at how the movie made him look ( he wanted to be a "serious" actor ) then he only has himself to blame, or, he helped to dig the hole that he stepped in.

either way... a dick

How does Marvel manage to put several of their superheroes in one movie while DC seems determined to never, ever do this? I'm not sure DC could even do it if they wanted to, not without paying thousands of lawyer-hours to unsnarl all the rights.

farkeruk		2012-04-20 03:24:42 PM

Orgasmatron138: Comedies do very well.

I was thinking comedy fell into date movies, but you're probably right.

Comedies actually make serious bucks if they're a hit. People talk about how much Avatar or Titanic make, but in ROI, films like The Full Monty do much better. $3.5m budget with a global box office of $257m. Home Alone cost $18m, but took $476m. Animal House cost $3m but took $141m.

Nem Wan: How does Marvel manage to put several of their superheroes in one movie while DC seems determined to never, ever do this? I'm not sure DC could even do it if they wanted to, not without paying thousands of lawyer-hours to unsnarl all the rights.

Actually, it's Marvel that has all their rights in a snarl; Sony has Spider-Man, Fox has the X-Men, etc. The heroes you see in the Avengers are pretty much the only major ones Marvel has the rights to. For DC, Warner Bros. has pretty much everything. That's the plus side of being part of a megacorporate empire (and before you say Disney, Marvel wasn't part of Disney until very recently, and they have to wait for the deals they made before the founding of Marvel Studios to expire).

As for why they don't, that prospect seems to come up every few years or so, but there's some difference in direction or what have you and it gets shot down.

Exactly. How did he think the movie was going to turn out when he read the screenplay and they shot all of his scenes. Savage Steve always intended it to be absurdist. John knew what he was getting himself into.

Didn't know that about helping edit the movie, which makes him look even worse.

/reMspect, comedians

I think Cusack realizes that, But I don't think he regarded it as such at the time. I think he was more worried that it pigeonholed him into mindless summer comedy schlock when he wanted to be reguarded as a profesional and serious actor and the movie would paint him into a critical corner in puruit of that goal.

as we all know, that isn't always the case, and it's usally up to the actor in what roles he takes and moves forward with..

case in point... Tom Hanks. Hello? Bachelor party anyone? Mermaid showed he had a little bit of depth ( no pun intended ) and then he really went forward with Joe vs. The Volcano. a movie that I watch at least once a month, keep on my phone etc because it helps me to feel alive, and to keep chasing my dreams. and not accept mediocrity in my life.

Cusack could've done that.. hell I still like him as an actor.. and my favorite cusack fims are 1CS and Grosse Pointe Blank. And I still think he can pull off that kind of career move.

however.. that argument that I mentioned earlier was the turning point for Savage Steve Holland.. He stopped directing movies after that Cusack destroyed him for film making. Granted, he has done VERY well for Himself in animation and children's programing since. But we've could've had a lot more films out of that man if it wasn't for Cusack flipping out on him

so lets add a couple more dick points to this.

I agree, but reality is that this is a business. I've seen films like Chloe, Sideways and Far from Heaven and thought they were great but not one of them made me wish that I'd hired a babysitter and spent £20 on tickets instead of £3 for a DVD.

You'd think they would do that. Many directors, actors and others have done it. Hell, early on in film history United Artists was formed by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Douglass Fairbanks. No reason Cusack couldn't join, pool some money, and start making some good films. Maybe guilt George Lucas into fronting some cash in exchange that Lucas finally gets to make those artsy films he claims to want to do.

Jizz Master Zero: Sun Worshiping Dog Launcher: What a sanctimonious, whiny biatch.

You say this like it's a new revelation. Seriously, the guy whines more than...the, um...Napa Valley. I'll work on it. But you get my point. He's the epitome of the "Stop Liking What I Don't Like," picture. He's way too cool for us all and has no problem letting us know it. He makes some kick-ass movies, but in life? What a miserable farker.

I think he's so glum because he spends so much time in the rain

What the fark is with that movie? Why are they making Poe out to be some super hero detective and shiat?

Because the Sherlock Holmes movies made money.

HOLLYWOOD!

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter? Learn more at a cineplex near you!

well, historical precedence... Mr. Poe is often credited with inventing the mystery novel as we know it now
