re: Best Feature Film Cast!!

Posted by LSUKingwood1979 on 8/22/11 at 4:21 pm to
No one has mention the Potter films, aside from the kids, it has the most acclaimed British actors in the cast or cast, aside from Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

My two favorites are Traffic, and JFK (minus Costner's performance).

Traffic

Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Luis Guzman, Don Cheadle, Miguel Ferrer, Topher Grace, Erika Christensen, Catherine Zeta Jones, Albert Finney, James Brolin, Steven Bauer, Amy Irving, Dennis Quaid, Clifton Collins, JR, Viola Davis, John Slattery, Benjamin Bratt, Salma Hayek

JFK

Kevin Costner, Jay O Sanders, Ed Asner, Jack Lemmon, Vincent D' Onofrio, Gary Oldman, Sissy Spacek, Wayne Knight, Michael Rooker, Laurie Metcalf, Joe Pesci, Walter Matthau, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Tommy Lee Jones, John Candy, Kevin Bacon, Donald Sutherland, Lolita Davidovich, John Larroquette, Ron Rifkin, Frank Whaley, Martin Sheen (narrator)

It is not great, but well-made. It is straight forward and honest and the cast delivers.

Complicated and silly concept, but it works better than I first thought.

Anybody else see it yet?

Halle Berry had involvement in some bad ones (Perfect Murder, Rich Man's Wife)

Other bad ones are Basic and Perfect Getaway.

A little known indie from David Lynch's daughter, called Surveillance, has a big one and it actually works. Honestly, the twist Million Dollar Baby floored me.
This is also a classic, Sean Bean has died 21 times, and this is every one of his deaths on film/tv.

Spoilers for some of the films or series

Burt Reynolds turned down role in Terms of Endearment that Jack Nicholson nailed.

Michelle Pfeiffer turned the role of Clarice in Silence of the Lambs, which eventually won Jodie Foster the Oscar.

Paul Bettany pulled out of The King's Speech in the role that won Colin Firth the Oscar.

Jack Nicholson pulled out of one of the roles in Space Cowboys.

Dougray Scott pulled out of X-Men as Wolverine, because he hurt his back shooting Mission Impossible 2, and Hugh Jackman replaced him.

Will Smith was originally cast as the lead role in Snake Eyes, but turned it down to do Enemy of the State. Al Pacino was originally cast in the Sinise role in Snake Eyes.

Ron Howard was going to direct Brad Pitt in the lead in John Grisham's The Chamber, but once Pitt pulled out, Howard just stayed on as producer, and Chris O'Donnell got the lead.

Kevin Costner in Robin Hood and JFK, also Christian Slater in Robin Hood was awful.

Dennis Quaid in Big Easy

Arnold as Mr. Freeze

Shia LaBeouf in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull

Halle Berry as Catwoman

The first part is better than the second, but it ends abruptly, so it is best to get both if you can.

Good crime films.

Anyone have a pic to upload of Fontenot while at LSU? Can't find any on the net. Many thanks.
I used to be a GM for Cinemark, and this policy will be a blessing for the staff and for the guests. It is obivious that the complaints of the kids are getting out of hand, and the corporation has decided to take action.

Teenagers are a hassle at the theatre, just be prepared, the parents are worse, they think their kids can do no wrong. I was threaten, screamed at, charged at, called sexist, racist, but I had a police officers to protect the guests and the staff. It is pretty funny watching a guy get arrested for being asked to be quiet and get off his cell phone.

I dont miss these headaches, but it is a good policy that will work, but it has to be consistent across the board. The first few weeks will be rough, but your guests will be happy.

People really just do not know how to act during movies these days, it is ashame. I worked in the business for five years and people were getting more and more disruptive in nature.

Most theatre chains have a no children after 6pm in a R rated film. It is amazing the parents with kids trying to take them into Saw, Hills Have Eyes, Halloween, etc.


Best of luck with the policy

Billy and his wife were featured on Dirty Jobs a few years back, before he had blond hair.

There office is located in Benton, LA outside of Shreveport. When the family and I lived in Shreveport, my wife use to see the Vexcon truck at LSUS all the time, maybe they had some issues

"What's a matter Dillon, the CIA have you pushing two many pencils!"

Billy cut his chest as tribal, but also because he is a bad arse.

After home dude got taken out by the tree he tells Arnold, "I can make it!"

And what about when Arnold throws the knife and kills the guerilla and then says "Stick Around!"
I lived in Shreveport for two years and worked at the Tinseltown.

They filmed so many movies there and there are always celebrities coming to the movies.

I met Jude Law, Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Nick Cannon, and most of the cast of The Great Debaters.

They all love Louisiana, mostly because they get treated like people and everyone is nice.

The old Convention Center downtown is now a movie studio where they shoot alot. There is also another studio across town as well.

The studios also love the tax incentives.
