Uncapie Invokes 'Nuking The Fridge' But Still Enjoys JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (In 3-D)!!

Saw this last February by Speed Fricassee	Jun 30th, 2008 01:56:42 PM
Truly. And it is indeed a good film.

They Live is a great movie by just pillow talk	Jun 30th, 2008 01:57:12 PM

God damn it by pleasebanme	Jun 30th, 2008 01:57:16 PM
Serves me right
I've heard Fraser (spelled Fraser) by skimn	Jun 30th, 2008 01:59:02 PM
is kind of a dick in person. I thought he was a cool guy until I saw him on the MTV Movie Awards. Anybody know the real story.
Wait for DVD by Sithdan	Jun 30th, 2008 02:04:33 PM
This is yet another WFD for me.
Fraser could very well be a dick in real person by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Jun 30th, 2008 02:04:51 PM
But then again, I'm betting 90% of all TBers are douches in real person if their posts are anything to go on.

Journey (original) by homer40	Jun 30th, 2008 02:10:07 PM
The original was always one of my favorite films on the 4:30 movie, broken up into two or three episodes. Incidentally, when I was three or four my family was in Atlantic City for vacation, and, in one night on the Steel Pier(I think) we saw Pat Boone and then, in another theater, the Monkeys. I can't agree with the author about the Real 3d being tiring on the eyes. I have seen Nightmare Before Christmas (twice) and Meet the Robinsons and suffered no eye strain whatsoever. Fraser is really a personable and friendly screen persona, and has a great male scream (used too many times in the preview). He has a bit on a TV screen at the end of the Mummy ride in Universal Orlando that is hilarious. BTW if you haven't gotten to ride the Mummy, it is almost worth the trip itself, just an amazing ride experience.
I dunno, he does seem like a bit of a dick by myspoonistoobig	Jun 30th, 2008 02:11:38 PM
Just a vibe I get. Sometimes you just get that aura from people. And yeah it's spelled Fraser dammit. It's on the fucking poster posted with the article.
THAT POSTER IS HILARIOUS by Masked Avenger	Jun 30th, 2008 02:18:01 PM
That chick is falling to her death but all she can do is strike a pose for the camera. Awesome!
Maybe he was just out of gum by bobjustbob	Jun 30th, 2008 02:18:30 PM

They Live remake by ciroslive	Jun 30th, 2008 02:26:25 PM
How have they not 'reimagined' THEY LIVE yet? You'd think they would have greenlit that by now...
LMAO at Mysterious Yobo's post! by MRJONZ72	Jun 30th, 2008 02:37:06 PM
Nuff said.
He came off a little boorish and rude by skimn	Jun 30th, 2008 02:40:11 PM
during an interview on MTV Movie Awards, and I think it was posted here, that someone stated he was a dick.
Indeed... by Quintus_Arrius	Jun 30th, 2008 02:44:24 PM
... this looks rubbish. > Hail Arrius!
She's Not Plunging to Her Death by kevinwillis.net	Jun 30th, 2008 02:44:39 PM
The rocks are floating. Because, you know, they're at the center of the earth. So it's gravity or magnetism or something like that.
If Brendan Fraser is a Dick by kevinwillis.net	Jun 30th, 2008 02:45:48 PM
I could care less. I've never met him. If I ever meet him, I'll go "Hey. Wassup?" and then we'll part. Seriously, either I like the movie he's in or not. Who gives a flip if he's a major asshole?
hmm... by blackthought	Jun 30th, 2008 02:47:51 PM
my friend worked some roto and comping on this flick and neither he nor i expected this flick to garner any really good reviews or anything but its nice to see it has.
Indiana Jones And Crystal Skulls: Special Edition by Media Messiah	Jun 30th, 2008 02:49:49 PM
That refrigerator nuke scene was ridiculous and Spielberg should use special digital effects to change the scene, unlike taking away the guns from the FBI Agents in his E.T. makeover, or Lucus' infamous Star Wars touch ups: here he and can, and should put such technology to good use, for once...by improving a scene they got wrong. How??? They should change the sequnce to show the Russians not only getting away with the alien body in one truck, but the Ark of the Covenant in another. After fleeing Area 51, Indy finds himself in the faux town designed for nuke testing. Running into the second truck there, he confronts some of the Russians. In the skirmish, the Ark falls from the back of the truck as it speeds away. Searching for a place to hide, Indy gets into the Ark for protection. The nuke blows and the Ark is tossed safely away from the blast area. Indy exits the Ark, clearly saved by its supernatural properties. Now that is better than that ridiculous refrigerator explanation and is worthy of the willful suspension of disbelief in the context of the story!!!

That poster tagline by Rocklover79	Jun 30th, 2008 02:56:06 PM
Is the tagline for Animal Planet. They had to rip off the goddamn ANIMAL PLANET channel?
"suspension of belief"??!? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jun 30th, 2008 03:01:38 PM
why would i want to suspend belief? I believe you meant to say "suspension of DISbelief" and yeah, it's FRASER, not Fraiser. at least you dont call him Brandon Frasier like far too many people do.

So Tarantino is remaking this? Anyone else know whats up?
They Live remake by skimn	Jun 30th, 2008 03:14:03 PM
As opposed as I am to remakes, a They Live remake could really be good. Keep the wrestling "theme", and cast Dwayne Johnson. Too bad he's focusing on family friendly fare. Didn't mean to bring up the whole Fraser thing.
I still watch my VHS copy of the '59 flick by disfigurehead	Jun 30th, 2008 03:15:16 PM
classic.
Media Messiah by Crackles	Jun 30th, 2008 03:15:17 PM
Indy can't get into the ark! He can't even look into it without melting in stop motion animation! I like the led lined fridge better. Have you people forgotten when Indy bails out of a plane on a raft, or when his dad blows up the nazi plane by chasing the seagulls towards it! And countless other "unrealistic" things from the originals I can't think of at the moment. Now I know the fridge thing is pretty damn extreme, but just go with it baby! It's Indy!!!!
But the fridge was lead-lined? That explains it.. by Darth Macchio	Jun 30th, 2008 03:15:59 PM
...as being in a lead-lined refrigerator is like having your own rocketship. See, I built a big ass catapult and I've got a lead-lined fridge I've modded out to be a personal rocketship. I've got some sandwiches, a 2 liter of cherry mountain dew (special non-dick-destroying formula) and a 3 pack of butane lighters for the return trip. Lucas is a FucKinG GENIUS.
You can take out a plane with pidgeons... by Darth Macchio	Jun 30th, 2008 03:17:55 PM
...it's true. Seriously. Enough of them fly into the engine and you've got a downed nazi and lunch! Of course, I don't eat pidgeon but I think nazis do. Did Indy ask the nazi if he was hungry? Probably not. Asshole.
I like the idea of Indy climbing into the ark. by SkeletonParty	Jun 30th, 2008 03:18:29 PM
that would have been cool.
Also... by Crackles	Jun 30th, 2008 03:19:05 PM
Who gives a FRAK if Brendon Fraser is a dick!!! Plus you can't just label someone a dick cause they got annoyed during an interview.
Yo-Yo! by FILMFUNK	Jun 30th, 2008 03:19:40 PM
They used that in Friday the Thirteenth 3-D and it was pathetic then! I can't inagine watching this without the glasses and it looking anything other than shit! having the star of the film shouting out one liners during the show sounds awesome too!

The trailers for this... by KurtLockwood	Jun 30th, 2008 03:54:48 PM
...look really bad.
Yes, its "FRASER" thank you... by Uncapie	Jun 30th, 2008 03:56:50 PM
...he was very nice and considerate towards me, so my guess is maybe he had a bad day on the set, personal problems, whatever. It happens to all of us and we're not perfect. I remember when I was to interview Chevy Chase for "Fletch II"(Talk about a bad movie!) and he was in a foul mood. Some asshole extra ripped off his wedding ring and inscribed Rolex his wife gave him for his birthday. Needless-to-say, he did not want to be interviewed by anybody and reporters gave him a wide berth. I had met him years earlier and after that incident and had always found him to be a nice guy.
You can crash a pane with a seagull by Neil_the_Sheep	Jun 30th, 2008 04:17:19 PM
Just ask John Denver. On another note, I love the term "nuked the Fridge" tho I don't think it was so outrageous in Indy 4. Oh well. I'll probably see this garbage too.

"This has always been the problem with 3-D" by Rupee88	Jun 30th, 2008 04:28:14 PM
Not with Beowulf...the 3D worked throughout the film and it didn't get fatiguing at all. I suspect you are talking about live action 3D, but what you said is incorrect.
THE ORIGINAL by No Respectable Gentleman	Jun 30th, 2008 04:33:08 PM
... is a great, underappreciated flick with a sterling script by Oscar-winners Brackett and Reisch, an effortlessly commanding performance by Mason, and a deeply atmospheric score by Bernard Herrmann. This new one continues the trend of infantilizing Jules Verne to the point where the great French author must be vomiting in his grave.

Not at all down with "Nuked The Fridge. " Not at all... by bswise	Jun 30th, 2008 04:40:14 PM
OK, the new site's fine, and all, but I cannot, nor will I ever, buy into this latest hackneyed phrase becoming a replacement for the simple elegance of "jumped the shark." I cannot, nor will I ever, condone taking this away from Fonzi. Why? Because "Fonzi was cool!" Also, because there is nowhere near a clear consus that the "fridge nuking" scene in "Indiana Jones and the Burger Kingdom of Plastic Crystal Skull Keychains" is a moment of tired, career-ending shamelessness on par with Fonzi's shark jump. Quite the contrary, in fact, considering the incredible popularity of "skulls." Whomever said that they have come to expect moments of eye-rolling unbelieveably inane action set pieces in a Spielberg joint is spot-on, and this is coming from someone who, in my not so humble opinion, thinks that this particular director "jumped the shark" with ET. But, of course, as with all definitive shark-jumping moments, it's a matter of opinion and endless, meaningless, time-wasting debate.
Indy Entering The Ark During The Nuke Blast!!! by Media Messiah	Jun 30th, 2008 05:03:16 PM
If he keeps his eys closed according to the pre-established mythology in Raiders, he should be fine. As well, the new film implies that Indy has been touched by the hand of divinity, and thus may enjoy certain protections from up high, God Himself!!! My rewrite on this scene is without flaw!!!
NUCLEARLY EXPLODEd THE REFRIDGERATOR by seabiscuits	Jun 30th, 2008 05:16:11 PM

as for this movie, well I love 3D, so i may see it.
WTF is going on with this dumb "Fridge" catchphrase by Doctor Land	Jun 30th, 2008 05:22:46 PM

THIS is the shit that will save Hollywood! by Jobacca	Jun 30th, 2008 05:36:58 PM
3-D is meant to be seen in the theatre. No way would I watch this on TV or my computer,but I'll shell out the bucks to see a 3-D flick anytime. Just like in the 50's,its a novelty to encourage people to get out and go to the theatre. I cant begin to imagine giving Lucas one more dime,but I'd wait in line in an Obi-Wan costume to see the 3-D Special Editions of the holy trilogy....

Like I was saying.. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jun 30th, 2008 06:33:50 PM
saw the Pat Boone version on the big screen. No, I'm not thaaaat old, the local theater was playing some classics. I was curious of the Rick Shroeder/Peter Fonda version. Let's just say Pat owes those two a beating over that movie that dares to use Verne's title.
Fraser's gotta branch out a little bit by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jun 30th, 2008 06:39:25 PM
Oh, he's great in the popcorn flicks, but he's putting them too close together. Between this, and the third Mummy movie, well fourth if we're counting Scorpion King, he's gotta watch it.

Thanks Skeleton Party!!! Indy Touched The Ark Before When He Fou by Media Messiah	Jun 30th, 2008 07:15:00 PM
The point is about the Ark, something that others who have commented on my rewrite don't understand, and thankfully you did get Skeleton Party, is that the Ark was touched numerous times in Raiders and even opened. The problem for the bad guys is that if you try to use it, the Ark, and you do not have divine right, you die. Indy, has divine right as implied in the new movie. The Angel of Death in Raiders, looked upon him and passed him by because he had no ill intent toward using the Ark for corrupt reasons and did not look upon its holy powers in use, as he and Karen Allen kept their eyes closed. One more thing, the Nazis invoked an incantation of some kind in order to awaken the powers of the Ark using a staff and a head dress: You'll recall that Moses carried a staff, and in mythology certain ancient technologies were controlled via a head dress, hence, the Ark in not deadly to anyone unless they try to use it, again, without divine right. Entering the Ark for protection would not have placed Indy in harms way from the Ark's spiritual guardians, i.e., Warrior Angels.

"but at least we took the time to fix the typos." ---> Actually, you spelled Fraser 'Frasier' in your intro to the review :-)
Brendan Fraser isn't a dick, he's a douche. by jimmay	Jun 30th, 2008 08:10:43 PM
I remember seeing him giggling like a schoolboy and leaning on the back of Ian McKellan's chair at the oscars when Gods and Monsters was nominated for best screenplay. Egging in the moment like a frat boy at a mud wrestling match, he bore every resemblance of a man who knew this was the only time he was ever going to be associated with a movie that didn't suck.

Why don't you try commenting on a movie? Oh that's right...you're another dumb bitch who would rather post "Fuck Michael Bay" than talk about a movie. Keep posting your unoriginal garbage so everyone can see what no life bitch you are, and then ignore you like your drunk uncle did. Can you come up with a more relevant idea than "Fuck Michael Bay" to escape your lameness? Why don't you just try it?...because you have no fucking life. NEW AND IMPROVED!!! OWNED...nah...PW NED!!!

Fraser May Be Even More Annoying Then Ben Affleck by LaserPants	Jul 1st, 2008 09:22:56 AM
Think about it. Clearly they both suck diseased donkey cocks, clearly neither should be allowed to continue breathing air, and certainly neither should be allowed to continue "acting", but at least Affleck has the glow of Kevin Smith on him. Like, as much as Affleck isn't fit to lick the crusty poop out of a dead dog's worm infested butthole, he did manage to do not so bad in Smith's flicks. What, on the other hand, has Fraser done? Aside from making me want to kill him for being such a tool, that is.
PLANT: SPOILER! by Sammy Jankis	Jul 1st, 2008 09:42:55 AM
When Brendan Fraser gets to the center of the earth, what does he find? There in the corner, sits a green plastic plant. He apologizes profusely to the plant for his trespass and slowly backs the way he came. You heard it here first! REMEMBER SAMMY JANKIS!
I guess its not suprising that by skimn	Jul 1st, 2008 10:02:44 AM
Journey To The Center Of The Earth is remade as a kid-friendly "roller coaster ride" 3-D event movie. I'm sure the Harryhausen adaptations of Mysterious Island and The First Men In The Moon were viewed as kids fantasy films in their day.

I saw that hbo special on Hiroshima that interviewed people who where close enough to look up at the shroom cloud.2. People have survived going over niagra falls in a barrel.Add 1 and 2 together and you get a more plausible scenario than Shia being able to Tarzan around the jungle as good as spiderman and end up landing perfectly back in the vehicle.The point is the beard brought us rufio-you never know if your going to get rufio or jaws with this guy-he's all over the map
