Movie Theme of the Week!

[Ðèstîñy]

ClassicQueen hasn't been here in about 2 1/2 weeks. DexterRiley, I'd rather you just go ahead, and if she shows up, she can go next weekend.

[DexterRiley]

ok folks.. the theme this week is actors that direct.

A few caveats. To qualify for the purposes of this game, they must have directed a minimum of 4 movies.

I'm starting the week off With betty Thomas

We first knew her as the scrappy police woman that took no guff on the emmy award winning Hill Street Blues.

She directed Howard Stern and he came across somewhat likeable.

now thats talent.

http://thefastertimes.com/turkey/files/2009/09/kevin-costner.jpg

My first actor obsession. I used to have Kevin Costner movie marathons. I guess you could say I was a glutton for punishment.

Directed: Open Range, The Postman, Waterworld, and Dances With Wolves.

[DexterRiley]

i thought Kevin Reynolds directed Waterworld.

i may be wrong, just goin from memory here.

[honeykid]

Nope, you're right about that, Dex.

Can't see this guy being a problem.

[nebbit]

I'm going with the sexy talented Robert Redford :randy:

[Sexy Celebrity]

Sylvester Stallone
(who I once used for a Movie Theme, actually)

Although he didn't direct Cobra (that was George P. Cosmatos) which is what my avatar is from, he directed a lot of other movies... but Cobra is badass.

[Ðèstîñy]

Penny Marshall

He even acted before he directed.

[nebbit]

Great choices so far :yup:

[Thursday Next]

Might be an obvious pick, but I'm going for Quentin Tarantino:

Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.
Quentin Tarantino

[Caitlyn]

Going to give HK some eye candy and go with Drew for now...

Actor: Chicago Hope, the Last Seduction, Collateral, Copland
http://vatzhol.perso.neuf.fr/img6/Alias012.jpg

One of the best in the biz, Clint Eastwood

[Caitlyn]

There... going with one of my all time favorites... Eastwood


EDIT: Fiscal beat me to this one... so, give me a bit and I'll come up with someone else... or else sit this one out...

[DexterRiley]

cmon cait, there are a bunch of options left. heck this isn't even the the theme i was was plannen on using. I didnt realize i was up already, mystique notified me, my brain cramped, so i went with this.

[Caitlyn]

Oh, it's a cool theme... I just read it too fast and missed the part about the 4 films... I tend to do such when I'm tired... I've got one though... just gotta find a picture... :)

[Xui Wan]

Sofia Coppola in Godfather III for movies such as Lick the Star, Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, and Somewhere... 3 out of 5 I own... I gave it much thought and have a couple others I would have loved to choose!!!

[Caitlyn]

Don't know why I didn't think about him in the first place...


http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t117/Tjacobin/keaton4.jpg


Buster Keaton

[Miss Vicky]

i thought Kevin Reynolds directed Waterworld.

i may be wrong, just goin from memory here.


IMDb.com had it listed under directing in his resume.

[Ðèstîñy]

I know I didn't decide on, or send you notification until late last night, but you never have to rush. We have all weekend to choose one. That's why I asked you in the profile comment if you were ready. I just didn't want to wait until the last minute to decide to skip Classic.

[DexterRiley]

its cool.

this works. I'll use the other theme on the next go round.

i admit, i keep wanting to join the game, but i love my current avatar too much. :(

So what you're really saying is that you want us to join in with all your ideas, but you won't join our ideas. Sure, I still haven't sent you a baby picture, but that's not the point.

[ash_is_the_gal]

actually, what i'm saying is for the time being, i won't join in this one idea. and since this particular thread is thriving fine without me, i'm not sure where the problem lies. :)

[Ðèstîñy]

What problem?

[ash_is_the_gal]

i'm confused.

[Ðèstîñy]

hehe Me too. You do know that my post was a joke, yes?

I pick the little tramp, Charlie Chaplin.

I like your choice Nebs. I think Redford's pecs are a nice change of pace.

Destiny can you put me back on the list, please :D.

[Ðèstîñy]

OK, and OK folks, it's time to chime in about the holiday breaks. Last year we did the week of the holiday, if memory serves. I think I'll see if I remember how to make a poll. I've only made one so far. That was the MoFo horror 100, so it's been awhile.

[Caitlyn]

Alfred Hitchcock made an appearance in just about every film he ever directed... so technically, he was an actor too... :p and I'm changing to him for a while...

I nabbed the avatar from this Japanese poster (?) for Family Plot... which I thought was pretty cool...


http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/Caitgee/Movies/family_plot_alfred_hitchcock.png

[Ðèstîñy]

Yep, I thought about him, but figured someone would say something about it. What you just said, wasn't what I thought I'd hear . . . so damn!
I want to change mine. I'll dwell.
I know it's only September, but I've already been able to use Poltergeist, The Guardian, and now Hocus Pocus. It's cool.

[DexterRiley]

Cmon now ..Hitchcock wasn't an actor that directs.

also, kevin Costner didn't direct WaterWorld, kevin reynolds did.

not that it matters a great deal, its just a silly avatar game..

jus sayen

[7thson]

not that it matters a great deal, its just a silly avatar game..




but yet it bothered you enough to mention it. ;)

[Caitlyn]

IMDb has Hitchcock listed as an actor too... but if it really bothers you Dex, I'll change it... I just thought the poster was cool... and I was tired of being a guy...

[Ðèstîñy]

... and I was tired of being a guy...

When did you make the change? ;)

[Miss Vicky]

also, kevin Costner didn't direct WaterWorld, kevin reynolds did.


Like I said, IMDb had it listed in his resume and I didn't have much time to make a choice, since I was out of town most of the weekend.

Here is the explanation IMDb offers for listing him as a (uncredited) director on the film:

Rumors abound that director Kevin Reynolds walked off the set with two weeks of filming left, and Kevin Costner completed the film.

But if it bothers you, I'll try to come up with another actor/director that actually has some significance to me.

Edit: Okay, I'm switching to Bruce Campbell now. He's directed two movies (My Name Is Bruce, Man With the Screaming Brain), one full length documentary (A Community Speaks), one short documentary (Fanalysis) and several TV episodes (Hercules, Xena, and V.I.P).

http://www.gunaxin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bruce-campbell.jpg

[DexterRiley]

but yet it bothered you enough to mention it. ;)


yeah , i just figured was an easy enough theme without having to reach.

but thanks for pointing out the irony of my post.

never occured to me.

[7thson]

Hmm I sense sarcasam - I like it.

[Ðèstîñy]

I would use George C. Scott, but he directed three movies, not four. I may get over that, depending.

[WBadger]

Hitchcock has to be one of the greatest actors ever, no one actor can evoke the same amount of amusement, humor, and downright excitement in every performance.

He is also a director. :D

[genesis_pig]

and I was tired of being a guy...

Noone has used Sofia Coppola yet.

[nebbit]

not that it matters a great deal, its just a silly avatar game..
Wash your mouth out with soap http://bestsmileys.com/hitting/18.gif

[Caitlyn]

Noone has used Sofia Coppola yet.



I think that is who Xui Wan is using... I'll think of someone else, but I'm in slow mode today... and I really do like this avatar... :D



Sorry Dex....

[DexterRiley]

Switchen up again to good ol Meathead

http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Galleries/Editorial/090629/Mustaches/mustaches_robreiner10.jpg Yes, Rob Reiner may have benefited from nepotism with papa Carl, but as a Director he's aquitted himself rather well.

Barbra Streisand is stuck at three, too. Warren Beatty has exactly four titles. Has anyone used Ron Howard? If not, I may switch to him.

I just looked. No one has.

I know I'm jumping in just a tad late for this theme, but i've been crazy busy! I will be going with Clint Eastwood. I'm suprised no one has picked him yet, unless I just missed it in my quick glance at the previous posts.

Sean Penn was among a handful of actors I thought would get snapped up right away.

We should have our laptop back either today (fingers crossed) or in the next few days so I will be back playing this game soon :)

[Miss Vicky]

Yeah, I'll be ready.

Actually I've had my theme ready for a couple of weeks now. :)

[Ðèstîñy]

OK, I thought I skipped you last week because you weren't ready? What was the reason, or did I make a boo boo?

Also, I've asked everyone who hasn't voted, to vote. All but ClassicQueen13. I'll email her, since she's been away for 3 weeks.

[Miss Vicky]

No, you didn't skip me. Actually DexterRiley had surpassed my post count so the turn was rightfully his. Which was just fine by me, since I was out of town most of last weekend.

[Ðèstîñy]

That's right. He had more post, and you said you were glad because you were away. Too much on my mind today.

[DexterRiley]

Allrighty final Change

Burt Reynolds, who along with Ben Stiller and Warren Beatty weren't used, not to mention i figured HK or genesis pig would grab the director of The Running Man, the director formerly best known as Detective Starsky, Paul Michael Glazer.

Reminds me of Hasselhoff eating a burger, but Burt is much more hairy.

[DexterRiley]

I think maybe he was filming a movie in oregon which set off all those Bigfoot sightings in the late 70's.

I was flabbergasted and gobsmacked when i saw it.

what the hell were the Editors of Cosmo smokin in those days i wonder.

Personally, I like the one Fred Williamson did for, I think, Playgirl. Must've pissed off a lot of racists, that's all I'll say. :D

[Miss Vicky]

The new theme of the week is…

SERIAL KILLERS

When I was compiling my top 50, I noticed that a lot of my favorite movies (as well as one of my newfound favorite TV shows) seem to feature these multiple murderers. And, while I don’t actually have a “thing” for them, they make for a great subject for film – whether it’s horror, drama, or even comedy. So let’s see your favorite homicidal sociopaths!

Any image from any movie or TV show featuring a serial killer will do. If you come in late in the game or are having trouble finding one that fits, anything featuring a murderer will be accepted, but do try to keep more closely with the theme.


My choice for the week is Clay Pigeons.

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walteregan/MoFoAvs/claypigjoaq.jpg

Of course, Phoenix isn’t the killer in this one, but I’ve been Joaquin-less for too long and I love this picture.

He's in another, but it's more like a twisted revenge situation . . . Because he's loony. Then he's in another, but he's the cop to Jean-Claude Van Damme's serial killer character. Replicant is the title to that movie, and I may as well use it until I think of something else. I'm not too into this type of movie. Vigilantes, yep, but not serial killers . . .

I'll use one more, later this week, that I'm sure no one will use. They will probably use the character, but not my choice of films covering the character.

In a lot of ways, Copycat was ahead of the curve. Its a template for a whole bunch of Procedural type Cop shows imo.

Criminal Minds especially.

I could change this every day and still not run out of images. I may not even use Drew one day. :eek:

[Miss Vicky]

Which movie is that again?

I expected something from Scream, but apparently that wasn't Drew's first killer movie.

In a lot of ways, Copycat was ahead of the curve. Its a template for a whole bunch of Procedural type Cop shows imo.

I'm a fan of Copycat. Seen it many times. I like your avatar.

[eMilee]

i like this week's choice... so many choices

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/02/08/movies/09hannibal650.jpg

Gaspard Ulliel stars as young Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal Rising

[honeykid]

Destiny's correct, that's from the first scene with Drew in Poison Ivy.

If I've understood the theme correctly, given the parameters of what you said, I could've also used:

Waxworks 2: Lost In Time (though I doubt I could find a shot of her in it online)
Guncrazy
Doppelganger
Scream

Technically, I think I could've used Home Fries too, as there's a murder, but she doesn't have anything to do with the act, though she is the reason for it.

[Miss Vicky]

I've never even heard of those first three.

[Ðèstîñy]

Poison Ivy, Guncrazy, and Scream are the only movies I know of that he listed. I really liked Guncrazy.

[mark f]

I've never really noticed this before the last couple of weeks, but doesn't Drew look like Jay Leno's love child? :cool:

Nice theme - I was not sure what I wanted to use and went searching, this one appeals to me - anyone know what it is from?

[honeykid]

Thanks for finding the pic of Drew in Waxworks 2, Destiny. I had no idea it was being shown on ZoneHorror. I'll have to keep an eye out for it, as my old VHS copy is wearing thin. :up:

Mallory and Mickey from Natural Born Killers :D

[nebbit]

Nice choice n3wt :yup: I thought about going with them but decided on Bonnie and Clyde :)

[Miss Vicky]

I can't believe nobody's chosen Dexter Morgan. I may have to switch to him before the week's out if nobody else does.

Dexter Morgan was my first thought, but I went with this pair of nutcases :laugh:

OK, the list has been updated, and we are also down to 21 players, just so you know. Voneil7, you are next. Saturday, October the 2nd. Make it creepy, dude! ;)

[honeykid]

Why does it have to be creepy? It's not Halloween yet... Is it?

[7thson]

Creepy is always good anytime of year.

[DexterRiley]

Roman Polanski theme would qualify

[Ðèstîñy]

Why does it have to be creepy? It's not Halloween yet... Is it?

It's the month of October. My favorite genre is horror, and my favorite holiday is Halloween. Plus, I voted for all of October for a break. Of course I'm still going to want to use that sort of theme all month.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm getting kinda tired of this game, to be honest. I voted for the next three months off. I wanna make my own decisions when it comes to my avatar. Just for awhile. I'd be more than willing to return to this game in the future.

With that said, I'm eagerly awaiting the new theme and I hope it's good. I'm wishing for something non-creepy, though... never understood why October has to be all about the horror. I like horror year round. The Serial Killer theme was good.

[Ðèstîñy]

If you love horror, year round, then why aren't you wanting a creepy theme? ;) Yes, I'm just kidding with you, but I love horror year round, too. Which is why I, and probably anyone else who loves it a lot, wants to "at least" use it for this month. I think it's pretty obvious why October is about horror, although it's obviously about other things, as well.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Ugh. Was hoping I'd come on here and the new theme would be up.

Re: Horror. I dunno. I can't believe it's already October. Sometimes I'm all for "horror/creepiness all through October", but not feeling it this year. I think this year is gonna be a "horror/creepiness all through the last week of October". If that.

[Caitlyn]

No theme up yet huh.... I'm getting very tempted to drag out an October Avatar... :p

[Ðèstîñy]

The end of the list has always been slow. I use to always give them all weekend to post their theme. That does get annoying these days, with so many of them not showing up, or replying to me. Emilee is next, so if she sees this, and is ready, she can go. She's not always on, though.

[Caitlyn]

I switched to my favorite Halloween/October avatar until someone shows up to post a theme...

[genesis_pig]

I am going with Lemmy Caution till the next theme.

Ninja, Pirate, Robot, Zombies

Are they like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Y'know, but zombies.

[voneil7]

My sincere apologies for not posting this week's theme earlier, this weekend was crazy busy.

The theme for this week is "best upstage". What I'm thinking with this is any movie where the supporting actor/actress gave what you thought to be a better performance than the lead actor/actress.

I will be going with Edward Norton in The Score

Nice theme. Sam Rockwell was a scene stealer in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

I think I'd be justified using Drew in E.T. for this, but the best example of this I've ever seen is Jeffery Wright in the Shaft remake. His portrayal of Peoples Hernandez is the reason the film doesn't work and was a huge disapointment to me. No one should be cooler or badder than Shaft. He's Shaft for God's sake!

Isn't Halloween about a bunch of babysitters on Halloween night? So Michael Myers actually stole the show. Then there's Frankenstein, a movie about a mad scientist/doctor. The monster stole the show there, too. So actually, I'm already set for this week's theme, yes?

No?

Maybe?

:( ?

If you use Michael from Halloween, maybe. He's not the star, and you can say he stole the show from Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance. However, I think people are looking for actors... so, to be technical, you would have to say the guy who played Michael Myers stole the show.

I don't know about Frankenstein. I mean, the whole point of that film is Frankenstein. If someone else had been more interesting than him, you could use that person.

However... there is Bride of Frankenstein... but let's be honest. The Bride stole the show from Frankenstein and she was barely in the movie.

I don't think we should let you get away with anything, though, missy, since you wouldn't zip it over me trying to use my Tackleberry, the 50 year old dead hunk from Police Academy, during "Actors That Died Young" week.

[Iroquois]

No connection, figured I'd bring up my hypothetical choice if I were still in the game. Holden Pike did it a few times a while back.

rauldc14
Xui Wan

I left this in Emilee's profile . . .

"You're up for the theme week. This Saturday, October the 9th. If you're not on by Saturday night, I'll hand it over to rauldc14, and so on. I'll do this until someone makes the post. You can then come in on the following weekend. The end of the list always drags out a lot longer, so I've decided to speed things up. Let me know when you're on."

If Rauldc also doesn't show up, say by Sunday morning, I'll let Xui Wan post her choice.

[eMilee]

i am here you all... just been a crazy week with one day off and insomania is coming back again due to stress. enough of waiting. sorry if this is somewhat a boring choice.

my choice for this week's theme is What Movie from your Childhood did you watch over and over again? maybe tell why too and if you still watch it today as an adult.

no surprise for my first choice is Wizard of Oz. when i was little, i think this and maybe the muppets held my short attention span. i cannot wait til jules is older (than 2 days old) to show her this movie.

[DexterRiley]

VCR's weren't available for the home market until i was a teenager, so i think i'll be sitting this week out.

[eMilee]

it doesn't have to be a vcr movie.. maybe one you saw in theaters if u were that lucky. or if u want to a cartoon you got up early saturday morning for.

[Miss Vicky]

My first thought was Charlotte's Web, but I've used Templeton in a previous theme and I really don't much care for the other characters, so I'm going with Bambi instead.

Always liked the movie and have since replaced my worn out old VHS tape with the DVD. Not crazy about the title character though. My favorite was always Flower, even though I thought he was a she when I was little.

Many of the movies on my top list (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=14851&highlight=101) (shameless plug)are from my younger days. I need to fix some links and get some more reviews up. Hopefully soon.:)

[Ðèstîñy]

my choice for this week's theme is What Movie from your Childhood did you watch over and over again?

Well, you didn't specify any exact age, and childhood is any age from infant to adult. With that being said, and the fact that I never really watched anything over and over until I was a bit older, I'm going with Halloween (1979). I watched this more times than any movie . . . Maybe even The Outsiders. Mind you, if it wasn't Halloween/October, I'd probably split this theme between Ponyboy and Michael Myers.

I had the TV version saved to VHS when I was roughly 14, and watched it so many times that my mother said, and I quote, "The keys, the keys" . . . "If I have to hear about those damn keys one more time, I'm going to scream."

Yeah, she was pissed!

Yay for Roger Rabbit! That was another one I'd considered choosing. Loved it growing up. Still love it. Though it seems like a completely different movie now than it was then. But that's because I actually get the jokes now.

Destiny is grand poobah of the techicalities.

one does not look back at their teenage years as their childhood.

Actually, I was grownup before the age of eleven, but I don't recall much of anything I watched before then. I could dwell on it . . . but I'm not going to.
I saw a handful of movies, one time each, at the theater. That was when I was 11 through 14, maybe 15. That was about it. You could put my theater experience on a post-it. As far as Disney movies go, from when I was young . . . I suppose I watched the bulk of them, but I should remember watching them, to use them.

[genesis_pig]

The movies I believe I first saw are:-

Clash Of The Titans
American Ninja
Mad Max 3
Quo Vadis


I still love them except for Mad Max 3.

How old were you, and did you see them at the theater?

Not that I'm trying to figure out your age, or anything. :p

The only other thing I remember movie wise, from when I was young (10-12 years of age.), was when I was still in Florida, and Vincent Price hosted a show every Saturday, where he showed classic horror movies all day long. I loved that. I spent all day in my room. This would explain my love for horror movies. I don't suppose I've been into animation since my father died when I was eight. He loved Looney Tunes.

I must have been around 5-7 years old.
I saw them at my neighbours home.. There was this retired film buff who had a huge VHS collection, he'd play us some stuff every now & then.
I owe him a lot, I really learned about appreciating films from him.

This was all when my dad was away from home, we then moved to a new place with Dad. That's when I learned to appreciate films a bit more.
My dad loves westerns & Disney films.

We still have lot of boxes of VHS tapes lying around back home.
I only hope my kids will grow up with the right kind of appreciation of films, literature & music.
I'd hate it if my kids skipped Mark Twain, RL Stevenson & started reading Harry Potter.

BTW I was born in the 80's..

Going with Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. One of the first horror films I saw -- and my childhood was nothing but watching horror films. Especially Freddy Krueger movies, but I'm not feelin' Freddy today. Would have been nice to have used something non-horror, but... *sigh* it is October.

BTW I was born in the 80's..


I just grew another grey hair.

[Miss Vicky]

Well if you go by the "Mofo Age Demographic" thread, a good percentage of us were born in the 80s.

I was born in 1981

[n3wt]

I remember watching Robocop over and over again when I was young and I had it bought for me on VHS from my auntie for Christmas one year, I cannot remember how old I was.

I didn't have a vcr when I was growing up, but I did go and see this film about five times in the cinema when I was about 11...

I hate giving up my spooky avatar for a few days... but you guys know I will... :D

For now, I'm going with Princess Leia from the original Star Wars ... you know, the one they're calling A New Hope now... :rolleyes:

I loved Star Wars when I was a kid and still do... I've gotten into arguments several times over Princess Leia because they saw her more as a "damsel in distress" and the guys as the heroes... but I see her as one of the main heroes and never as the damsel in distress... nor do I ever remember her asking for help for herself... when she asked, it was for her people... which makes a big difference... anyway, she was my Halloween costume of choice several times...

The movies I watched on commercial TV over and over as a kid were The Wizard of Oz, The Ten Commandments, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, House on Haunted Hill, The Pit and the Pendulum (the last two with Vincent Price), Ben-Hur, Atlantis, the Lost Continent, the original The War of the Worlds, Oklahoma! and the original The Time Machine.

I also watched the TV version of Peter Pan with Mary Martin every time it was on. (In fact, they just had a final "Jeopardy!" about the only woman to win a Tony for playing a male and I was the only person who got it, after two seconds). I think I'll go with that one.

There's a good few that I could use for this, but I'll go with Enter The Dragon for the moment.

I'm going to bump this for Monday. We have eight that haven't joined in yet, but weekends can be busy like that. This will help them. I only do this when it's buried by a few pages of chit chat. Who am I kidding!?! I rarely do it then, either.

i am here you all... just been a crazy week with one day off and insomania is coming back again due to stress. enough of waiting. sorry if this is somewhat a boring choice.

my choice for this week's theme is What Movie from your Childhood did you watch over and over again? maybe tell why too and if you still watch it today as an adult.

no surprise for my first choice is Wizard of Oz. when i was little, i think this and maybe the muppets held my short attention span. i cannot wait til jules is older (than 2 days old) to show her this movie.

OK, these are the four final members before the list rolls back around. Rauldc14 hasn't joined in for quite a spell, and after asking him about it twice, and not receiving a reply, I've decided to remove him from the list.

I want to adjust the list in two other ways, if you all are OK with it. Both beelzebubbles and Classicqueen13 were away, which doesn't count as far as missing other people's theme choices. It's not like it can be helped. With that being said, I'd rather not hold it against them. I'd like to adjust the list by adding them to the bottom of it. After it rolls back around to nebbit, they'll be back where they're suppose to be. Of course the list can still change a bit, due to the post counts changing. No time back, wintertriangles was after Fiscal. As you can see, that's changed. I'll continue to adjust the list as we go through the holidays.

OK, the list will go like this . . .

wintertriangles ~ October 16th
Halloween ~ October 23rd
Xui Wan ~ As early as the 30th, but some may wait until the 31st to change.
Fiscal ~ November 6th
sarah f ~ November 13th
Thanksgiving ~ November 20th
beelzebubbles ~ November 27th
Classicqueen13 ~ December 4th

nebbit ~ December 11th
Christmas ~ December 18th
Caitlyn ~ December 25th, and again, some may wait until the 26th to switch.

Is everyone OK with all of this?

. . .

[beelzebubbles]

I am fine with that. Thanks Destiny.

[genesis_pig]

We have members called Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas!!!
