JIM: I SEE THAT THE THUNDERBIRDS MOVIE HAS BOMBED QUITE BADLY,I AMNOT SURPRISED,GERRY AND SYLVIA ANDERSON WERE GIVEN ALMOST NO IMPUT AND I BELEIVE THE PRODUCERS "POLITICALLY CORRECTED" IT(SHUDDER!!!)
I ALWAYS SHUDDER WHEN SOMEONE ANNOUNCES A MOVIE REMAKE OR ADAPTION OF AN OLD TV SHOW,I WONDER WHAT "SOCIALLY RELEVENT" MESSAGES THEY WILL PUT IN THEM...EG WYNNONA RYDERS FEMENIST SPEECH IN A RECENT REMAKE OF "LITTLE WOMAN"..WHICH WAS NEVER IN THE ORIGINAL BOOK OR EVEN HINTED AT IN PREVIOUIS MOVIE VERSIONS.
SORRY, BUT I HAVE LITTLE TIME FOR HOLLYWOOD THESE DAYS, IT IS FULL OF BULLsh*t(PARDON ME)
I AM ALSO DISSAPOINTED THAT YOU CAN SPEND 100,OOO,OOO ON A MOVIE AND STILL COME UP WITH 100,000,000 WORTH OF CRAP
IN MY VERY HUMBLE OPINOIN

They always play Roman's and Southern belle's too...hmmmm.. |
Not to mention 'The Villain' in virtually every American film....
This has now culminated in our very own Ben Kingsley (bow, scrape, grovel, 'we are not worthy' etc etc), playing 'The Hood' (ie the bald bad-guy) in the live action version of Thunderbirds...... 
Ben - did you need the new wing on the mansion that much??

Any American actor trying to do an English accent always makes me cringe.There are too many examples!

interesting- you feel Oldman didn't make the part work? If I was going to criticize S&N I'd say that Chole Webb wasn't hot enough to inspire me to become a junkie...although I did want to kill her 
The funniest thing to me about S&N was seeing the 'making of'...director Alex Cox looks like he should have been a character in the movie. And seeing Courtney Love watching the plot unfold you can just imagine the wheels turing in her head (hmm, punk love story + heroin overdose = worldwide publicity).

An of course, there was always Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious in 'Sid & Nancy'
Don't get me wrong, I love Oldman's work, but puuuurrrleeeeeeeze!
Excrement, pure & utter Excrement!

Has anyone seen "Hercules" with Arnold? His English was so bad they dubbed in another guys voice. Hilarious, actually.
You've got to admit, Arnold "looked" the part in the Conan movies. Too bad he had to talk!

It's hard to beat the Wiz and the Sgt. Pepper movie, but...
what about that flaccid film Paul McCartney made- "Give My Regards to Broad Street"?
or even "Xanadu" with Olivia Newtron-Bomb...I'd rather watch "The Wiz" than that one...
