Point Break wasn't just a fucking terrible film; it was a fucking terrible film starring Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Lori Petty, and Gary Busey.

And it still blew goats.

Saw some of The Long Riders last night.  Not as bad as most movies involving the Carradine brothers.

Man they beat the shit out of the horses while filming.

Also most of Visionquest.  Probably one of the best loss of virginity movies ever made and definitely the best high school wrestling movie.

Yuppers.  An often-forgotten 80's classic.

On the down side, the sound track is awful.

True Grit - 10/10 Awesome movie. Loved the ending when she called Frank James trash.

They really should make more westerns.

Thor - 6/10 Meh.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

:unsure:  Who was Frank James?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Jesse James's brother.  Or James Brolin.

Been watching the John Adams miniseries with Paul Giamatti. It's pretty awesome. Surprising how hard they're going on Hamilton.

More Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

QuoteAlcon principals Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson secured rights to the project the week of the original film's 20th anniversary from RGM Media, John McMurrick and Chris Taylor. Kosove and Johnson will produce along with Michael DeLuca, John Baldecchi, Chris Taylor and Kurt Wimmer ("Salt," "Law Abiding Citizen," upcoming "Total Recall"), who also wrote the screenplay. RGM Media principal Devesh Chetty and investor John McMurrick, Chairman of Marloss Entertainment, will serve as Executive Producers.

The film is being fast tracked, with the filmmakers set to take the project out to directors soon.

The new version is set in the world of international extreme sports, and like the original involves an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a criminal ring, but plot points beyond that have not been revealed by the filmmakers.

State Johnson and Kosove: "Who doesn't love the Kathryn Bigelow original and its pure heart-pounding action and thrills? Kurt's take infuses the story and characters with new twists and settings. We're very excited to be in business with Kurt, and Michael DeLuca, Chris Taylor, and John Baldecchi."

Adds DeLuca "'Point Break' wasn't just a film, it was a Zen meditation on testosterone fueled action and manhood in the late 20th century and we hope to create the same for the young 21st!"

In addition to the feature rights, Alcon has also secured television and gaming rights to POINT BREAK.

The Bigelow original, starring Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey, was produced by Largo Entertainment and released by Fox. The film went on to become an instant classic and remains beloved by the youth culture around the world.

A remake of a '90s movie ? Damn, we're getting old...
