Panic Room last night

Tilly55

Anybody see Panic Room last night?? Jodi Foster is just amazing in everything she does. Although was lured over to RTE after it finished to watch the end of " 2 Weeks Notice" - A little Hugh Grant never hurt anyone! Anybody know of any good movies coming up over the next few xmas weeks??

I personally can't stand that film.

Don't know what it is cause I usually really like FW and have nothing against JF.
Each to their own and all that I suppose.

Arrrgggh.. someone fix that font. Can't bear it on my eyeballs..

Keep an eye here for good movies.

I think Panic Room gets a bad rap.. plenty of people hate it. It's not an amazing film but it's a well shot decent thriller... definitely Fincher's weakest though.

Yes, both vastly superior films.

Don't know why Alien3 has such a bad reputation.. I didn't think it was bad (though Fincher has more or less disowned it.. he was very unhappy with the production IIRC). Certainly a whole lot better than 'Resurrection'.

If you think Alien 3 was bad, try and find the "Alien 3 that was to be!" set in a monastery with monks. No, i'm not joking!

Yep, think so.

Read a massive article in Empire last month about it.. was 6 or 8 pages long with pictures, photos, script excerpts, storyboard etc.

Interesting but sounded horrific!

From the way the article described it, with the wooden planet, I actually thought it would have been better than Alien3.

Alien3 failed because of the overbearing studio influencing the production. Fincher hated the experience, as I did watching it. I think my dislike for it was mainly caused by the sheer brilliance of Aliens.

As for Panic Room, I would sit down to watch that way before Alien3 or The Game.

Is that the William Gibson script ?

The alien quadrilogy boxset has a lot of commentaries and extra features which give some background to Alien 3 production problems (which sounded like a nightmare from hell). I think its an under-rated film also - less so now than when it came out though.
