The Redeemer
The first hour was inspirational. A great role model. A testament to the power of the human spirit. Emotionally uplifting.
The second hour was lighter. I had'nt laughed so much in ages. He knows his stuff. A bit naughty maybe but a great character nevertheless. Definitely on form.
Shoot!!! I'd almost forgotten I was intending to turn out something on "xXx". What was that? Oh yeah, the Bond wannabee that'll be taking over where 007 left off... I think not!!!
Actually I turned the tripe off a little more than ten minutes in. After that I caught up on THE HEATHER MILLS STORY -inspirational- and then rounded things off nicely with THE GRAHAME NORTON SHOW -definitely on form-.
A footnote to the losers who produced trash like "xXx"...think cinematography, think art direction, think soundtrack and think involving story. You idiots ain't making an MTV video!!!
The Redeemer rates "xXx" an ALL TIME LOW with comment CONTEMPTIBLE TRASH. Indeed, the next REAL Bond looks brighter already!
yerssot
so, no vin diesel for you?
The Redeemer
Maybe in films like BOILER ROOM but never as 007.
It was'nt so much him - I've no problems with him in stuff like the mediocre THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS - it's just that the whole air of "xXx" stank. A definite smell of condescending to some knowing, idiot mentality in the viewer.
Pathetic is too good a word for it!
yerssot
it's good to know not everyone wants him as 007
Evy_O
Silly movie
I didn't like the girl, nor Vin... He is kinda ugly!
NO way he can beat JB
What were they trying to do
yerssot
getting fans to like him?
Evy_O
they failed miserably then
yerssot
well, I heard some people who said it was good, so at least some like it
Evy_O
someone liked it?
yerssot
no, more than one even
Kes
Vin as Bond?? Where did that came from?
yerssot
out of the air I hope
Evy_O
Not Vin as Bond, Vin as xXx, an agent "equivalent" and a copycat of Bond... riiiiight
yerssot
and a bad one too
Kes
I dont know what is worst.
Discos
ah I will chuck in my 2 cents....
xXx, tbh I did quite like the film but I didn't like the film in a secret agent type thing,
1. He didnt take the job seriously
2. A REAL agent was killed so easily which was a downer
3. How can scum villians like that come up with ideas like THAT!
4. the so called "Q" sucked,
5. The gadgets which were bunged into his carwere never used except about 2 or 3....a waste
6. just......NO
Discos - liked the tattoos, and liked to think they were swinging for a simple action film
yerssot
actually, about 5... that's what I would like in Bond: some gadgets not being used cause you can already guess when and where he will use them in the movie
Discos
lol yeah i know, but did you see how many stuff Zander Kane wanted put into his car......ya right, its not your own private bloody army tank
Zander Kane Vs Ukraine
yerssot
I haven't seen the movie and I hope to keep it like that
Discos
you best, there is a highly amusing part in it with a columbian drug lord
*zander is hanging from the roof tied up and a drug lord is holding a knife to his face*
Drug Lord: I am going chop you up, unless you have something to tell me?
xXx: uh ok.....your short
yerssot
at least something that resambles the bond humor
Discos
lol it was very humerous i tell ya....but doesnt make up for the lack of everything else
yerssot
he has muscles, lots of
Discos
Vin? yeah I know and as i said before his tattoos are quite "awesome"
yerssot
but tattoes aren't bond-like
Discos
I know, scars are his type of thing
Discos - has tattooes
yerssot
especially by mad wifes
Discos
and embarassed tailors
yerssot
and jealous husbands
yerssot
did he bit him?
Discos
no, the shards of glass being thrown from the wine bottles could have....
Discos - that was well funny hwo nik nak ended up in a creel basket
yerssot
those bottles broke so easily!
Discos
no need to tell me i watched it lol, such a waste
quite eaily how he broke the chair as well
yerssot
it couldn't have been good whine I guess
Discos
well in the behind the scenes sense......no
in the scaramanga is a rich assassin....yes
yerssot
I ment the last one
Discos
you make some crazy sense at times ya know
anyways xXx shouldn't of been made to try and copy bond.....tut tut
yerssot
picking on its popularity
Evy_O
pffft, Vin Diesel is zero compared to Pierce
yerssot
vin diesel is also zero compared to bloom
Evy_O
well... I like neither of them but... yeap, I'd say bloom's better
yerssot
and THAT is saying a lot about vin
Discos
lol it sure is, but lets not even go "there" again
yerssot
well, they ARE make a sequal
Discos
ballocks, now that is taking the piss
Discos - jeepers, imagine 21 xXx's?
yerssot
it's what the mainsite says
Discos
ach well this is another time for hype and whatnot, I remember reading the review of xXx when i was in Spain in 2002....god what a crap they spoke
Discos - thats when I found out the girl was a former pornstar
yerssot
crap cause they said it was good or crap that you didn't understand what they said?
JackMode211
well the one good thing i can say about XxX is that they had a good actor.............
...........Samuel L. Jackson ..... they should have used him some more
yerssot
he returns in the second one
Evy_O
I like Samuel L. Jackon too
Discos
yeah hes a great actor, i fairly like his character in Star wars prequels
i told my friends of the second xXx and they asked the name and i said "xXx 2?" and they laughed very hard
yerssot
and it won't be with Vinnie wannabe-Bond Diesel
The Redeemer
Well how about another Vinnie for the job...Vinnie Jones? Very few harder men in football or on the big screen!
They'd have to dub him though!!!
yerssot
than why not take The Rock
The Redeemer
The Rock...what's that? Something out of WWW Wrestling or whatever the shit is called? At least Vinnie Jones IS a human being...
yerssot
WWE I think it is now ... he played in a mummy movie...
both two with muscles but no acting talents
Evy_O
I know a movie Rock with Connery and Cage
yerssot
yeah, but that's not the actor
he did that one movie where he and that guy who played Stiffler in American Pie are in the jungle or something
Discos
"welcome to the jungle" - christopher Walken is in it....
al,so "the rock" is a kick ass film, cant tell ya how much times av seen it
yerssot
better not watch it ... or he wants to play bond too
