Now I know the U.S. dollar isn't what it use to be but still how do you spend $250 million dollars on a Western ? All thoroughbred horses ? Pearl-handled revolvers with real pearls?

Every movie MUST have werewolves and/or vampires

On Friday, Disney shut down production on a Lone Ranger movie starring Johnny Depp, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Gore Verbinski, because the budget was already estimated at 250 million dollars. But before explaining how that’s possible, let’s quickly mention the Lone Ranger origin story, which is surprisingly bad ass.
Quote:
Six Texas Rangers are ambushed by a band of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish. (Left for dead), a Native American named Tonto stumbles on the scene and recognizes the lone survivor, Dan Reid, as the man who had saved his life some time in the past. He nurses Reid back to health. The two men dig six graves for Reid’s comrades, among them Reid’s brother, and Reid fashions a black mask using material from his brother’s vest to conceal his identity.
After that they go get Cavendish. It’s a classic tale of justice and revenge, but according to Hollywood, if a movie doesn’t have Indian werewolves in it, how good could it really be? And so, according to
Hollywood Elsewhere…
A 3.29.09 draft of (the Lone Ranger) script makes it clear it was going to be at least partly about some kind of Native American wolfbeast tearing victims apart and leaving a bloody mess.
Now that’s more like it. Every movie should have werewolves all the time, everywhere, and all the old movies should have werewolves digitally added. If you’re a movie without a werewolf, fuck you.
Quote:
“It was always going to be a big Bruckheimer CG movie with traditional Bruckheimer elements with an eye toward being a tentpole, totally Pirates-style.”
“It was never going to be a semi-traditional western…it was never going to be Zorro.”
“It was going to be a Tonto show mainly. Tonto as the top dog and more dominant than the Lone Ranger. Tonto and the Indian spirits like Obi Wan Kenobi and the force. The driving engine was going to be Native American occult aspects worked in with werewolves and special effects. But flavored with doses of Native American spirituality in a serious way.”
Yes, serious, I get that. The premise is very respectful. Indians are like Luke Skywalker, and sometimes they transform into wolf beasts and tear people apart. If you asked an Indian high priest to describe his religion, he couldn’t have said it any better.

Is that some sort of time of day discount that use at theatres to bring in more customers? You're pretty cheap.

Google image search tells me she's that dead-faced girl from Adventureland. She should really end up with... well I'll leave that for a time of insobriety

you boyz are so witty :)
As already posted, the 0-day hollywood slop can be had anywhere. i don't see the charm in any tracker that just churns that crap out. Go ddl, or demonoid if that's your thing. As far as KG, it's definitely not for everyone. Personally I like it because it's so specialised. If you're a fan or arthouse/international cinema then it's definitely for you and the chances are very good that if weird, classic, off-beat, indie film-fest oddities turn your crank than you'll find it on KG. Another charming quality is that the films are well-seeded for a decent length of time, which is a quality sorely lacking on many trackers. They do a good job of nuking any mainstream films off the tracker as they should. You want the latest luc besson - go elsewhere.

Not necessarily the first name that comes to mind when I think mainstream (well except I guess for that Transporter 2 and 3 thing). But you can't hate on the creation of Leon, La Femme Nikita, etc.
More recently, I loved his District B13 stuff, those are about the only action movies I seem to have actually enjoyed these days.
