if it took place in chicago and touched on the crime in the
city like the wire while being a show about playing highschool
basketball in the city?

what channel would it work on?

AMC?
FX?

HBO maybe. I like the idea if executed correctly.
 
It would work in theory, but I'd be surprised if you got more than two seasons out of it.

Combining The Wire with FNL might be the lowest rated show in history :lol: but I'd watch it for sure.

Saw the stills months ago and was hyped, but something about the trailer has me like "eh". I'll definitely see it still, but just don't know how it'll be. Almost the same feeling as Lawless/Gangster Squad.

With that said, Bale is going to kill it in that movie. I'm sure of that :pimp: .
 
Something about these period pieces that keeps them from looking perfect. Just looks off but I'm interested in the plot. Good women here.
 
/Film:

Briefly: Earlier this month, we learned that Paranormal Activity 5 had been shifted from fall 2013 to January 2014. Now we know what’ll take its place.

The studio has announced that Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa will take over Paranormal’s old slot on October 25. The $15 million 2D film takes a Borat-like format, following an old man getting up to no good. Fans of the franchise will recognize Bad Grandpa from previous skits.

86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa”. This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicholl) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.

Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens.

Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Johnny Knoxville: Sidekicked in 'Bad Grandpa'


Johnny Knoxville brings his 86-year-old Irving Zisman character to the big screen in 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.' A first look of Knoxville with his makeup and sidekick, Jackson Nicoll.

USA Today

Johnny Knoxville knew he had found talent, or at least a kindred spirit, when filming the 2012 comedy Fun Size with Jackson Nicoll, who was then seven years old. The two hit it off in a way that only the star of MTV's Jackass series and three wildly successful movie spinoffs could appreciate.

"Jackson would just follow me on the set and verbally assault me while hitting me in the zipper," Knoxville recalls. "I was just shaking my head thinking that this kid is a piece of work. He's unbelievable. I think he was sent from heaven."

Wherever Nicoll was sent from, Knoxville, 42, enlisted the young actor as the perfect sidekick for his 86-year-old character Irving Zisman in Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (out Oct. 25). Nicoll stars as the equally outrageous 8-year-old Grandson Billy in the first feature film centered around the trash-talking octogenarian (Knoxville in extensive prosthetics and make-up) who has made near riot-inciting appearances throughout the Jackass series.

For years, Knoxville and Jackass director Jeff Tremaine had been approached about making an Irving Zisman movie but held off because the extended pranking of the general public was seemingly too difficult to carry off for an entire movie.

"We both had reservations only because we had never fleshed the character out and didn't know if it could sustain for a movie," says Tremaine. "Then we decided to come up with a story, and the story became really important. Yet it still houses these pranks which are shot in the real world with real unsuspecting people."

In the screenplay, by Tremaine, Knoxville and Spike Jonze, Zisman is forced to travel across the country to take his grandson to live with his father after the child's mother is sent to jail. The road-trip movie features some fiction, some serious stunts in front of shocked bystanders and numerous hidden-camera pranks.

Knoxville says any doubts about the project were pushed aside on the first day of shooting, when Zisman enraged golfers on a Columbus, Ohio, course while working as a surly, incompetent groundskeeper.

"At that point all of my hesitancy just washed away," says Knoxville. "We got so much funny stuff that we knew we had something special."

That includes footage of Zisman shoplifting and hightailing it from a convenience store, enlisting a cross-dressing Billy in a girl's beauty pageant ("that alone is worth the price of admission," says Knoxville), and disrupting a wedding and a funeral.

"This was going into the unknown every day and getting people riled up," says Tremaine. "It takes real verbal judo to keep people that riled and not get hit."

The exploits were so enjoyable that Knoxville admits he didn't mind the three-plus hours he spent each morning in the makeup chair (five hours for scenes which required him to take his shirt off) to become Zisman.

"After that first day I didn't care one bit,'' says Knoxville. "I liked having three hours to think about what we were going to do that day."

Bad Grandpa's trailer, which Knoxville will unveil online on Wednesday, focuses on the mayhem Zisman and the kid cause. But, he says, "it's really a story about a grandfather. And in the end you end up loving the relationship between the two. People are going to be surprised."

They just finished filming the last Hobbit yesterday. Now just post production and waiting another 2 years. Sourced by Peter Jackson's FB if you befriended him. You also got about 6 pictures with him and his cat yesterday along with the announcement lol
 
I love the supporting cast of Orange is the New Black. These inmates and CO's are hilarious. I actually want to see more flashbacks of these background characters.

I aint watch the trailer but I'll watch cuz Bale will shine like he usually does when given good material that allows him to act and it's the guy that did Silver Linings so I'll give JLa and Cooper another chance since they're both in it.
 
I was ready to buy a ticket for American Hustle as soon as I read the cast list and description.

Cooper, Bale, Adams, Lawrence PLUS they've all done great work with David O Russell.

Can't wait.
 
Grosse Point Blank is a great movie, with a great soundtrack ... if you like 80s/90s music, particularly ska.
 
The ending is where they ran outta gas. Movie was great til they botched Silver Samurai.
Overall it was pretty good tho.

I felt same way about Silver Samurai. The set-up, the plot was all fine for me. But just the execution of the villain was a little underwhelming.

Marvel is hardly ever successful at that though.
