    In reply to Is Clint Eastwood's 2004 Tsunami Picture Too Soon?
    The brilliant "Tsunami: The Aftermath" came out in 2006. It was such a harrowing and thoughtful piece on the disaster and the BBC did a wonderful job not only in not exploiting the tragedy of the whole event, but also showing us humanity.

    It did suffer for it's "too soon" concern, but it was such a good movie that didn't really factor in.
    While this was a hugely significant event in south eastern Asia, I don't think that incorporating a character who experienced the event into a movie that isn't actually about the event is treating the subject with any disrespect. In fact it is almost an attitude of acceptance; a naturalness becoming in our collective conciousness. #clinteastwood

    In reply to War Is Less Hell In The Future Of Sgt. Rock
    I shall make the obligatory post of

    "aw hell naow!"

    in expectation of the subsequent development that, once you start down the slippery-slope of making it more action-y and sci-fi-ish, you inevitably end up with Will Smith in the title role.

    By rights the part belongs to Tom Sizemore. "Saving Private Ryan" was a goddamned 2 hour audition tape for Sgt Rock. #sgtrock

    Why not Sgt Rasczak?

    Otherwise this just sounds like the comic book movie disaster equivalent of Speed Racer.

    In reply to Clueless Director Preps An NYC Based Vampire RomCom
    This surge in vampire movies makes me miss the heady days of my callow youth when the only vampire movie in the theaters was Bram Stoker's Dracula directed by the inimitable Francis Ford Coppola and staring the talents of Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves. Now that was a vampire movie I could sink my teeth into. #vamps

    I route for the facehugger to finally shut this RAP up.I mean you can not rap if you got a facehugger on your mouth.Being the punk rocker I am I vote to have facehuggers put on all RAP Music although I am sure many of you will not agree.

    Can't help it.This is the one form of music you won't ever hear in my home unless I am payed to work on it. #eminem

    What?

    The description doesn't really sound at all like it's actually about the tsunami, only that it's part of one of the character's backstories.

    As for your wondering whether there will be a sentiment of "too soon..."

    No, probably not. At least to most of the folks that would end up seeing this movie wouldn't have been impacted by it.

    If you want a movie that directly dramatized the aftermath of the tsunami, then you can check out the t.v. mini series "Tsunami: The Aftermath"

    [www.imdb.com]

    It was made only 2 years after the event by the BBC and HBO.

    It actually features a pretty solid ensemble cast and wound up winning some BAFTAS, Emmys, and Golden Globes... #clinteastwood

    Glad to see Marshall's at the point in his career where he's diversifying. Nobody can maintain his level of rage for long. He's more than welcome to release Relapse Pt.2, put out 2 sequels of this movie on DVD, and retire until Dre's "Chronic 2020" is released. #eminem

    This sounds disturbingly like the screenplay I just turned in for my screenwriting class, take out the tsunami and re-gender a few characters. I wonder if my teacher has connections to Eastwood? Or what was that comic talked about on this site where people have a machine that steal ideas out of artist's heads? #clinteastwood

    Oh come on people. Large breasts are easily faked (push up, cutlets, padding, CGI). Genuine acting ability is essential. #rachelmcadams

    I like the choice of Romola Garai. She's a great actress. She played adult Briony in Atonement. She's gorgeous too. But Black Cat needs that physicality. Like a Jessica Biel or Jennifer Garner. #rachelmcadams

    as someone that personally survived the event (i was literally on the beach when it happened) i'm ok with it. however, my experience, even among tourists, is likely considerably outside the norm. still, the film sounds like a character driven story anyway, which makes sense because it's a clint eastwood film afterall. it's not like it's 2012, a retrospective.
