Wow. When I clicked on the link I was thinking......great.....another shitty mountain movie. But it actually looked pretty good. I will see this. I am really stoked for the scenery and it has a really good cast. They can put shit actors in these and people will still go.
I'll probably see it with my dad. It feels like your body is dying at 17,000' , I can't imagine 25,000+.....
The book was fine, the movie may be better if they do it right.
Or maybe they are just getting damn good at the previews.

If you base that on the fact that he didn't use oxygen until the very end, as far as I remember, I agree, that seems like a foolish and very irresponsible macho thing to do. Of course his company was and is called Mountain Madness so why not. But personally he strikes me as a cool guy, way cooler than Jake, so I think that casting could have been done better, but we'll see, I might be completely wrong.mockbee wrote:Fischer was kind of an idiot.Matz wrote:not overwhelmed, but I'll definitely check it out, I've probably read the book three times.

But I do really respect what he did to clean all the trash off of everest.
according to imdb she is in it and played by charlotte bøving.Matz wrote:
If only this woman, Lene Gammelgaard, a dane isn't featured in the movie, I'm happy can't stand her, so incredibly full of herself because she once was escorted up that fuckin thing. She was on Fischer's team.
I bet it will be Sandy Pittman featured in the movie, she seemed like a real handful, I don't even remember the Lene woman in any of the books, but reading up, she seems accomplished and held her own. ***maybe I am thinking of someone else*** o h forget it.Matz wrote:If you base that on the fact that he didn't use oxygen until the very end, as far as I remember, I agree, that seems like a foolish and very irresponsible macho thing to do.

Anatoli Boukreev seems like one of the good and courageous guys to me also, but who the fuck really knows.
I'd like to read a book about a K2 expedition, there's something about that mountain, but as far as I know there isn't one.
let's hope it's a near cameo for Bøving. I agree Jake's a good actor, in the clip he just doesn't strike me as the guy I imagined Fischer to be. Too frat boy'ish or something. But that's of course the problem you run into when first reading a book and then watching the movie version sometimes. They've hopefully researched well and have a better idea of what Fischer was like than what I do so its' accuratecreep wrote:according to imdb she is in it and played by charlotte bøving.Matz wrote:

i thought it was boring as shit.Matz wrote:finally watched Black Hawk Down....aka Big Let Down. I don't think a movie exists that has less character development than this one. During the movie I was referring to the names of the characters by their real names...'Hmm, Sizemore is hit, that's a shame'

Why the David Foster Wallace film ‘End of the Tour’ is among the year’s best

Review: ‘The End of the Tour’ Offers a Tale of Two Davids
The first trailer for Let Me Make You a Martyr, starring Marilyn Manson and his Sons of Anarchy co-stars Mark Boone Junior and Niko Nicotera, has come online. Manson plays a Native American hitman named Pope who’s hired by Boone’s drug-dealing pimp Larry Glass to kill his rebellious adopted son, Nicotera’s Drew. Drew, meanwhile, has fallen in love with his adopted sister, June (Sam Quartin), and the two plot their own murder to finally break free from their abusive father.
In addition to premiering the trailer, Rolling Stone published an interview with Manson and Boone. Manson called Boone his “unwanted mentor,” saying, “He tells me what to do. He’s always encouraged me, but he’s very bossy about it. He says things like, ‘You gotta do this, motherfucker. You’ll like this.'”
It turns out Boone was very right. “Within the first day, I was asked if I wanted to skin a coyote,” recalled an excited Manson. “It was already dead. And I was asked to burn down a house and ‘kill’ a bunch of people, so the answer was ‘yes’ obviously.” The shock singer also connected with Pope’s Native American heritage, as he himself is part Sioux on his mother’s side. Overall, he was thrilled to take the role. “It was the biggest role that I’ve played,” he said. “On the script, I’d say I was on half of the pages. I don’t know how the movie will end up though.”
At the end of the interview, Manson mentions that he has another film project lined up with none other than his current touring partner, Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan. “Billy has plans on directing and we have a project that we were thinking about doing,” Manson revealed. “It’s based on a book that I read when I was making Mechanical Animals, that he had given to me. It might be a pretty grand project, so it might not happen for a little while, but it’s a script that he’s had for a long time. I have to keep it a secret, but it’s a great role.”
