Member drunkenmaster Posted February 26, 2009 Member Share Posted February 26, 2009 Would've been eligible for this year's Oscars (just past). But The Academy members would commit Hari Kiri and roll over in their graves before nominating a Van Damme movie (of any kind...) Went straight to DVD in the UK. Didn't it get a limited cinema release after all? There was talk about it at one time. I know it didn't play in South Wales at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Li Ho Posted February 26, 2009 Member Share Posted February 26, 2009 To hell with the naysayers.JCVD was a good movie,and I haven't said that about VD in many a year.I was particularly impressed with the opening sequence which was done in one take with no cuts in the scene(ala Tony Jaa in the protector).

Member Alex Posted February 27, 2009 Member Share Posted February 27, 2009 FYI to US guys and girls, Blockbuster has this as an 'exclusive', but the actual retail copy wont be in stores till April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted February 27, 2009 Administrator Share Posted February 27, 2009 FYI to US guys and girls, Blockbuster has this as an 'exclusive', but the actual retail copy wont be in stores till April You know, I rented this from Blockbuster and it didn't even occur to me that I hadn't seen it for sale anywhere. Speaking of the mega-chain, everyone I know hates the big, ugly "Blockbuster Exclusive" logo they stamp on their covers. It's put me off buying a few pre-viewed DVD titles. I'm getting the UK version via Amazon.com.UK for that disc's extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was playing a heterosexual role, which is another strike against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DeathShrike Posted March 3, 2009 Member Share Posted March 3, 2009 Sean Penn won best actor for playing a gay man. Right. But... Of the last hundred nominees for best actor, only 5 have been nominated for playing a gay character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You counted? But then you wouldn't have been allowed to play an openly gay character in a film made before the 70s so the first 40 years don't count... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last 100 nominees only go back 20 years, so I already DIDN'T count the first 40! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 LOL. Yes. Yes I did count. That's just... sad. And the last 100 nominees only go back 20 years, so I already DIDN'T count the first 40! OK. Now go count the nominees who played characters with disabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
