Joaquin Phoenix Retires

[GroovePuppy]

No no no, Leonardo DiCraprio songs silly!

Ha ha, you spelled his name wrong.... no wait.... oh I get it.

 

[DeathBrewer]

i'd be really surprised if that guy can carry a tune.

he is a "lady's man" after all

I fixed it for you.

 

[ChshreCat]

he turned Johnny Cash into a worthless druggie *****.

Hate to say it, but he wasn't the one that turned Johnny Cash into a druggie. That'd be Johnny Cash.

 

[GroovePuppy]

I think the emphasis was on "worthless". (Or maybe on the *****.) So far I've refused to watch the movie 'cos I like Cash.

no, they took a very small portion of cash's life and centered the movie around it. and johnny cash definitely wasn't a whiney little pussie...he would kick some ass!

good choice, my friend. i thought he was gonna bust out crying the whole movie. ruined johnny cash for me, really

I think "Walk Hard" did a better representation.

 

[DeathBrewer]

i haven't seen that. i'm not a big John C. Reilly fan.

i think i'm kind of a snob when it comes to actors.

and beer.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

I'm with DeathBrewer. I didn't like anything he was in, including Gladiator. Russell Crowe is awesome, but Juaquin wrecks that flick. Good riddance.

 

[MSatt]

I liked walk the line....over acting with the fight within one's self maybe, but they did leave out the best song Johnny ever sang....thank god.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuQKYOxV_h0]YouTube - Johnny Cash - Sunday Morning Coming Down[/ame]

Greatest song quote ever in the first couple of lines...."the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had another for dessert."

 

[MikeFlynn74]

Jonny Cash did have a bad drug problem.

 

[DeathBrewer]

for, what, 8 years of his life...pretty much the norm in those days.

he still wasn't a whiny little *****.

Joaquin Phoenix Shocks With Retirement Announcement

Good. **** that guy. he was a whiney little bitch in Gladiator and he turned Johnny Cash into a worthless druggie *****. I hope he enjoys his retirement knowing that he gave nothing to the world, not even entertainment.

(*sigh* ok...i just had to get out of the debate forum...)

i retired him from my lineup after gladiator. he was good in this flick about american soldiers in west germany who made meth. don't remember the name.

edit: it was buffalo soldiers

 

[DeathBrewer]

Buffalo Soldiers?

maybe i'll check that out...

 

[uglygoat]

tbh, i'm not even sure if he's good in it, but the flick is good. a nice twisted view of the armed forces.

feck em if they can't take a joke....

 

[srm775]

He wasn't bad, but I thought that movie kind of sucked.

Kind of sucked? Besides Mission to Mars and The Village, that movie was one of the worst. Ed Wood could have made a better flick.

 

[GroovePuppy]

I liked "The Village".


















I'll get my coat.

 

[blacklab]

Buffalo Soldiers?

maybe i'll check that out...

Wicked awesome book. Movie OK.

I liked Joaquin in Parenthood.

 

[wrangler]

i have to say, i thought joaquin was phenomenal as johnny cash. :rockin: johnny took a lot of pills. that's not joaquin's fault, nor his fault that the director chose to focus on that aspect of his life.......

 

[DeathBrewer]

no, it's just why he chose him for the part.

**** james mangold, too. (OK...3:10 to Yuma was pretty good, but it was a remake)

 

[GroovePuppy]

no, it's just why he chose him for the part.

**** james mangold, too. (OK...3:10 to Yuma was pretty good, but it was a remake)

"3:10 To Yuma" was a huge disappointment. The ending didn't make any sense and was too cheezy. Good up to that point though.

If I want a "realistic" cowboy movie I'll watch "The Unforgiven" again. Now that movie is the dog's bollocks!:rockin:

 

[GroovePuppy]

How come I can say "bollocks" but DeathBrewer can't say "*****"? It's not like he said "****", "****", or "***** *** ****** *******"!

 

[DeathBrewer]

srsly, **** that ****.

i agree the ending was lame (****ing horse...meh), but i thought it was a great movie.

unforgiven is one of my favorite movies of all time.

edit: favorite ****ing movie of all time.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Good riddence!

Doubt I'll be gettin the album either.

 

[GroovePuppy]

unforgiven is one of my favorite movies of all time.

edit: favorite ****ing movie of all time.

The scene where Eastwood starts taking long pulls from the bottle of whiskey is so powerful. The little whiney kid just shoots his mouth off while Eastwood drinks, and you just know at that moment that everyone is going to die. Hell yeah!:rockin:

 

[DeathBrewer]

yeah, he doesn't need to say much, although there are some awesome lines in the movie too.

here are a few pulled from good ole IMDB:

Ned Logan: I sure do miss my bed.
Will Munny: You said that last night.
Ned Logan: No, last night I said I missed my wife, tonight I just miss my ******* bed.

Little Bill Daggett: Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!
Will Munny: Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.

this thread has improved

 

[GroovePuppy]

yeah, he doesn't need to say much, although there are some awesome lines in the movie too.

Will Munny: All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.

Damn, I need to rent this again!

 

[HBHoss]

Damn, I need to rent this again!

How did I miss this one? I'll have to see this flick.

 

[DeathBrewer]

HBHoss...you just lost all my respect.
