Screenwriter Jeph Loeb states that the film was originally conceived as a vehicle for Gene Simmons (who passed on it), and later scripted with Nick Nolte in mind to play the lead as an out-of-condition former commando struggling with the demands of his mission. Walter Hill was originally involved in the development process.[4]

also last nite i watched:
MAD MAX: i'd imagine this movie is a lot easier to appreciate if you first saw it in the 80's... i wasn't really feeling it at all, but i def appreciated the stunts and action and the way you could tell they were being as creative and pr0 as they could on a low budget
TAKEN: this movie is so fucking awesome. already know i'm going to be re-screening this a lot. if you like this movie please please please see HAYWIRE (feel this would have placed if it were a year or two old instead of a month or two old)
― ⚓ (gr8080), Saturday, 18 February 2012 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
looking forward to ROAD WARRIOR tho
Road Warrior is awes.
Haywire is awes.
Taken is amusing but obv pretty racist.
― encarta it (Gukbe), Saturday, 18 February 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
Bummed that you weren't feeling MM, but I kinda get it. I forget what it would be like to see it for the first time. I grew up with it, it seemed like THE coolest movie for a long time to me. The stunts/low budget steez are def worth seeing
I can't wait for you to see Road Warrior!
I have never seen Taken.

i dunno i just wasnt feelin it. i admire the attempt at creating a sexually ambiguous psychopathic gang boss but i don't think it really worked

Jumping into this late, but the hand-wringing about the politics of <i>The Incredibles</i> is pointless, because it doesn't offer a coherent libertarian politics; if anything's Randian about it, it's an incredibly diluted, anodyne version where what's most important to the Parrs are familial bonds (e.g. the end where they're having a blast watching Dash come into second place). So, rather than vicious social/cultural norms or, gasp, <i>federal regulations</i> reining people in, Dash limits himself voluntarily. But then, you can argue that having superpowers more than compensates for this kind of self-limitation, but the moral of the Dash plot arc is something like being sufficiently mature that you don't need triumphal recognition. On a level, it's insular, but it doesn't have an anti-regulation, ur-capitalist soul; remember where Bob works -- a private insurance company that's bent on ripping off its customers. And the one governmental presence -- you know, the not-TLJ fed -- is portrayed unambiguously (imo) positively; he's weary but well-meaning, sympathizes with Bob, etc.
So: ok for liberals to like!

xpost re dirty harry:
yeah a bit. although it gives him a cool latino partner so everything's cool, right?
politics aside that movie is kind of amazing. it's like a perfect cop movie.

so its not 'perfect' then?
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 18 February 2012 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
?
some other films that might have been in my list:
-manhunter-firefox- emperor of the north
and some HK ones:
-fighting ace
-jet li's fearless-a chinese ghost story III- painted faces- yes, madam

as an aside, I love that there were always helicopters in 70's & 80's movies. "Technology! Innovation! Whooosh!"

Oh yeah. Plain simple Garak.

If anything the moral of Incredibles is a fairly standard Disney "don't let social conventions limit your true potential" type thing. I mainly just like the bitching action scenes and amazing retro design and music myself.
Ooo, has there been an ILX poll on animated movies similar to this one? I would certainly be down. It would result in much less genre controversy as well (probably).
― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Sunday, 19 February 2012 02:06 (twelve years ago) link
I think we did Pixar ones, not sure about others.
― kinder, Sunday, 19 February 2012 02:29 (twelve years ago) link
Oh actually that was a poll poll not like this one iirc
i would totally do an animation poll. (i feel like i'd need to sub-contract the stills out to omar though.)
― jesus christ (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Sunday, 19 February 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
xpost I never said Incredibles was libertarian, just oddly neo-con, is all.
sexually ambiguous psychopathic gang boss
Road Warrior has one of these, too! Hmm...
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 19 February 2012 02:48 (twelve years ago) link
I want to watch the Road Warrior, but I am worried it will be tainted by annoying Bellflower vibes.

xpost Gukbe: the only thing that made Bellflower remotely tolerable was the Road Warrior stuff. There's no way Bellflower's terribleness could flow backwards. At least I goddamn well hope not.
