Movie Actors

Sorry for only being a "D-list actor" but it is a hell of a lot better than you are doing.

Please tell me how I am doing.

There is a syndrome that is prevalent in Australia called Tall Poppy Syndrome whereby people of no accomplishment love to tear down those who are making an effort and making something of themselves.

I wonder how you come to know of my accomplishment (or lack thereof). You surely didn't learn it from a self-promoting website, as I do not maintain one.

If you care to know why I was uncredited in Bodyguard 2 maybe you should read my blog or even the reply I made to you in another post.

Wow, a reference to your self-promotion website. What a surprise. Please tell me again; I must know. Is playing a security guard as glamorous as actually being a security guard?

IMDB only updates when movies are released - this can take 2-3 years after the movie is "in the can".

What good is a movie that hasn't been released? By the way, that is a false statement of fact. There is no shortage of IMDB content about unreleased films. See, e.g.,:
Fourth Installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures (2008)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2008)
10,000 B.C. (2008)

Most people "in the industry" would know that IMDB content is contributed by the public on a daily basis.

Tani just wants an arguement so at this stage I will just ignore him until he gets involved in the industry and I have to work with him.

Why would I want to get involved in Thai cinema? I prefer having flush toilets, thank you very much.

I burnT your ass (or arse, as you might say) pretty bad on this one. You denied nothing that I said, and were unresponsive in every way.

I WIN AGAIN, FANS!
 
On behalf of 3/4 of the worlds population I apologise for them being poor and not living in standards that you approve of.

I have nothing else to say to you as I have more important things to do with my life. I thought I might make some contribution to this site it appears I am encroaching on your territory and like a dog you are urinating all over the place to mark your territory.

What good is being the leading foreign actor in a country if you don't even have a flush toilet. I guess the flush toilets are for actors with credited roles.

Like write an over-directed screenplay?

I hear that dog is a delicacy (that means "fancy food") in Thailand!
 
Id have to admit i dont agree with much of conan

But i think your critisizm is pretty unfair and am wondering why you find it so important to use so much of your time for something of little concern for yourself.

Come on theres something deep down in you that makes you want to light fire with everyone, care for a fraudian slip? :hug2:

I just think it's pretty funny that he bills himself as the leading foreign actor in Thailand when he is nothing of the sort. What's even funnier is that Thai cinema's a pretty small pond, so it's not like it takes a lot to be a big fish. I figure Conan's a fiddler crab.

Not everyone. I have classy fans who have a sense of humor. I even get +rep from people I've socked it to before, e.g., (Silent) and Chillen, because they have a sense of humor and don't think the Internet is Serious Business.

P.S. "Freudian"
 
Please ignore Tanizaki. he's on a little break this week. I've asked him to try to learn how to act civil in front of other people. If he won't, he'll be booted forever.
 
All of Bruce Lee's films were great. I love watching Jet Li and Jackie Chan too. A classic that I always loved (even though it's pretty cheesy now) is the 5 Deadly Venoms. The actor that played Toad was sporting a pretty good physique. I actually enjoyed watching Brandon Lee. There were some really good fight scenes in Rapid Fire. And people might find it odd to say, but one of my favorite fight scenes of all time was between John Cusack and Benny Urquidez in Grosse Point Blank. That was a great scene.

Thankyou, he is a rather poorly behaved lost soul. To be honest I was going to stop posting on this forum (and have since the last post).


Let me bring you an example of what I am talking about coming from Thailand soon:



Go and watch the action yourself - you decide if it is crap or it is the best thing since Tom Tum Goong or Jackie Chan.

These guys are talented, there is a major shift in the thinking of Thai producers happening this year and this movie B.A. will be the cause of Thai movies hitting the shelves of your DVD rental store in greater numbers.

Why?

Because it is the 1st Thai actio movie with English as the major spoken language and with Westerners as the stars.

Coming soon after this is Som Tam starring Nathan Jones, again with a fair amount of English.

I am glad you didn't. I missed you. I didn't know why you left, but I assumed you were on another watermelon fast.

Oh boy! I like the pounding heartbeat that played throughout, which will make the audience excited and/or pumped. It also good where the guy says "no guns" and then it shows a guy shooting a gun. That shows that this movie will also have humor. However, I think you should have Don LaFontaine do the trailer voiceover. He's the guy who does the voiceover for almost all trailers and says "in a world" a lot.

I have made my decision. Can you guess it?

Why should that matter? The language spoken in a movie has no bearing on its quality.

This might be a good selling point for people who don't like to read subtitles. I had to do some Googling to find out who the hell Nathan Jones was. It appears there are several. Whether it's Nathan Jones (Australian rules footballer), Nathan Jones (wrestler), or Nathan Jones (football player), I am sure that he's clearing a space on the mantle for a guest named Oscar.

I don't know the original intent of this thread, as I didn't read the first page, so I must start with an apology. and one for bringing back an old thread.

Now, I like Tony Jaa. Ong Bac was an amazing movie. The Protector was equally good. This guy is nuts!

A friend of mine competed in Muay Thai when he was younger and it is a vicious form of MA. We were horsing around one day and he kicked me in the ribs with his shin and I felt like I had been hit by a train. I've been in many fights in my life and taken some pretty big hits to the face by some big ass dudes, but man, nothing compared to this. He told me he had broken his legs and forearms neumorous times and his shin felt like a rough tree branch.

IMO, Muay Thai and Brasilian Ju Jitsu are the crasiest forms of MA.

I don't really like the " flying" martial arts movies. Crouching Tiger hidden dragon may be beautifully shot, I still think I'd liked it more if they wouldn't fly over the roofs. But I do understand that it's part of the story.

If you have ever been envolved in the Oriental culture, they see people that do that kind of thing as the equivalent of the american superman, batman, spiderman etc. They dont have action heros and comic book charactors like we do, at least no util recent years.

First, it's Asian culture. Oriental is a type of rug. The Orient (Orient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is the Middle East, Egypt, part of North Africa and Asia. That's a whole mess of cultures lumped into one name.

Second, it's called fantasy fighting. These people know this isn't possibly in real life, but these are just stories. You think that if you shoot a car it will explode into flames? No. It doesn't. You think that if you drop a lit cigarette into a puddle of gas it will blow up? No. It get's put out. You think that a guy can ride at top speed on a jet powered bike, use a tow truck trailer as a ramp, came down in a manner that would make the bike disintagrate and the guy riding it could just get up and walk away? (Torque) No! It would never happen! But god forbid someone make a movie where people are jumping all over the place and "flying" over buildings. That's too much.

As far as their "comic book characters" (also known as Manga), you're right. They don't have these unbelieveable characters, larger than life characters. They have normal people who have extraordinary talents. A Edward and Alfonse Elrich, Full Metal Alchimest, Two normal boys (save for the fact that Ed is just the soul attached to the armor) who can use Alchemy (a "science" of sorts that no one can prove is real). It's not Superman or the Incredible Hulk, but essentially the same basis. "Normal" people with special powers.

Actually, it's more precise than Asian, that includes an entire continent. The middle east is in Asia, as is India and several of the former soviet states...but I understand that's the politically correct term. Not sure why though
