Filmz kan som de første i Danmark eksklusivt vise et nyt, actionfyldt klip fra Ridley Scotts “Robin Hood”.
Klippet, der vist bedst kan betegnes som “Saving Private Ryan”-Robin Hood-style, viser et blodigt strandangreb og kan ses i videoen herunder.
Filmen følger Robin Hood og hans håndgangne mænd, der i det 13. århundreds England tager kampen op mod korruptionen i Nottingham og står i spidsen for et oprør mod kongemagten.
Robin Hood” kan ses i danske biografer 13. maj.

"Etta Cameron" er flødeskummet på kransekagen! ;-)
Ebert er den anmelder, jeg har størst respekt for ... blandt andet netop pga. de elementer, som du fremhæver i ovenstående indlæg.
Han er netop en mand med meninger og holdninger, der tydeligt skinner igennem hans anmeldelser. Meninger og hodlninger, der også bevæger sig uden for filmens sfære. Han er filmkritikkens grand old man - en ægte nestor - der giver sig tid til at behandle film med den respekt, som de fortjener. Han ser mediet som en seriøs kunstart, der fortjener at blive taget seriøst. Det er heller ikke uden grund, at han - som en af de få - har modtaget Pulitzer-prisen for sin filmkritik.
Og så mestrer han sproget på elegant vis, er sprænglærd og ofte uovertruffent humoristisk. Læs blot hans "Your Movie Sucks", hvor han blandt andet (med spids pen) får sat Rob Schneider eftertrykkeligt på plads.
Dette er alt sammen noget, der gør det til en sand fornøjelse at læse hans anmeldelser, essays, bøger og blogindlæg. He is a true champ! En champ, der allerede i 1967 - hvor andre kritikere hånede den - kunne se de blivende kvaliteter i Arthur Penns brillante "Bonnie & Clyde".

Hvis nogle kender til filmen Brown Bunny af og med Vincent Gallo, så vil de vide, at Ebert var ude i en gladiatorkamp med Gallo efter filmen blev vist i Cannes og blev rakket ned.
Ebert skrev:
Imagine, a film so unendurably boring that when the hero changes into a clean shirt, there is applause.
Han mente det var den værste film i festivalens historie. Krigen fortsatte:
Gallo retorted by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader" and put a hex on Ebert, wishing him colon cancer. Ebert then responded, paraphrasing a statement once made by Winston Churchill that "although I am fat, one day I will be thin, but Mr. Gallo will still have been the director of The Brown Bunny." Regarding Gallo's alleged hex, Ebert quipped "the video of my colonoscopy is more entertaining than your movie," a comment that Gallo later claimed to find funny.
Gallo klippede filmen om og skar næsten en halv time af den. Ebert anmeldte den igen.
But then a funny thing happened. Gallo went back into the editing room and cut 26 minutes of his 118-minute film, or almost a fourth of the running time. And in the process he transformed it. The film's form and purpose now emerge from the miasma of the original cut, and are quietly, sadly, effective. It is said that editing is the soul of the cinema; in the case of "The Brown Bunny," it is its salvation.
Ebert responded favorably to this second edit, and the pair reconciled amicably thereafter.
Bare en lille anekdote, som jeg finder ganske morsom og fortæller noget om Ebert.

[i]On the other hand, he can be a demanding and difficult director to work for. He was nicknamed "Guvnor" in the Blade Runner production. Several crew members wore protest t-shirts with slogans such as "Yes Guvnor, my ass" and "Will Rogers never met Ridley Scott" in reference to Will Rogers' most famous quotation, "I never met a man I didn't like" :)

Det er nok et typisk træk. Der fortælles også frygtelige historier om hvordan f.eks. Fritz Lang, Peckinpah og Dreyer har opført sig, men en film er ikke og skal ikke være en demokratisk process. I et eller andet omfang er det altid instruktøren, der er den primære kunstner, og som helst skal skal tvinge sin vision ned over resultatet.

Ved du, om der findes en god bog om Ridley Scott, gerne en "set fra sidelinien", som ikke blot er ass kissing? :)

En vidunderlig anekdote, som jeg selv har refereret til en del gange.
Ang. Rob Schneider-polemikken, som jeg nævner i #61, så begyndte den, da Scheider følte sig trådt på af Patrick Goldstein - anmelder for Los Angeles Times - over en dårlig anmeldelse af hans film "Deuce Bigalov: European Gigolo". Schneider valgte - ikke smart! - at skrive et åbent brev til Goldstein, hvilket fik Ebert til at skrive et modsvar til Scheider. Det er en morsom battle på ord, der udsprang af dette og vinderen blev ... Rogert Ebert.
Det er god læsning :-)
Roger Eberts anmeldelse af "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" (o stjerner, i øvrigt):
"Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" makes a living cleaning fish tanks and occasionally prostituting himself. How much he charges I'm not sure, but the price is worth it if it keeps him off the streets and out of another movie. "Deuce Bigalow" is aggressively bad, as if it wants to cause suffering to the audience. The best thing about it is that it runs for only 75 minutes.
Rob Schneider is back, playing a male prostitute (or, as the movie reminds us dozens of times, a "man whore"). He is not a gay hustler, but specializes in pleasuring women, although the movie's closest thing to a sex scene is when he wears diapers on orders from a giantess. Oh, and he goes to dinner with a woman with a laryngectomy, who sprays wine on him through her neck vent.
The plot: Deuce visits his friend T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin) in Amsterdam, where T.J. is a pimp specializing in man-whores. Business is bad, because a serial killer is murdering male prostitutes, and so Deuce acts as a decoy to entrap the killer. In his investigation he encounters a woman with a penis for a nose. You don't want to know what happens when she sneezes.
Does this sound like a movie you want to see? It sounds to me like a movie that Columbia Pictures and the film's producers (Glenn S. Gainor, Jack Giarraputo, Tom McNulty, Nathan Talbert Reimann, Adam Sandler and John Schneider) should be discussing in long, sad conversations with their inner child.
The movie created a spot of controversy last February. According to a story by Larry Carroll of MTV News, Rob Schneider took offense when Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times listed this year's Best Picture Nominees and wrote that they were "ignored, unloved and turned down flat by most of the same studios that ... bankroll hundreds of sequels, including a follow-up to 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,' a film that was sadly overlooked at Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic."
Rob Schneiders åbne brev til Patrick Goldstein:
Dear Patrick Goldstein, Staff Writer for the Los Angeles Times,
My name is Rob Schneider and I am responding to your January 26th front page cover story in the LA Times, where you used my upcoming sequel to 'Deuce Bigalow' as an example of why Hollywood Studios are lagging behind the Independents in Academy nominations. According to your logic, Hollywood Studios are too busy making sequels like "Deuce Bigalow' instead of making movies that you would like to see.
Well Mr. Goldstein, as far as your snide comments about me and my film not being nominated for an Academy Award, I decided to do some research to find what awards you have won.
I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind, Disappointed, I went to the Pulitzer Prize database of past winners and nominees. I though, surely, there must be an omission. I typed in the name Patrick Goldstein and again, zippo—nada. No Pulitzer Prizes or nominations for a 'Mr. Patrick Goldstein.' There was, however, a nomination for an Amy Goldstein. I contacted Ms. Goldstein in Rhode Island, she assured me she was not an alias of yours and in fact like most of the World had no idea of your existence.
Frankly, I am surprised the LA Times would hire someone like you with so few or, actually, no accolades to work on their front page. Surely there must be a larger talent pool for the LA Times to draw from. Perhaps, someone who has at least won a 'Cable Ace Award.'
Maybe, Mr. Goldstein, you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for "Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter, Who's Never Been Acknowledged By His Peers!"
Patrick, I can honestly say that if I sat you your colleagues at a luncheon, afterwards, they'd say "You know, that Rob Schneider is a pretty intelligent guy, I hope we can do that again." Whereas, if you sat with my colleagues, after lunch, you would just be beaten beyond recognition.
For the record, Patrick, your research is shabby as well. My next film is not 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo 2.' It's 'Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo,' in theaters EVERYWHERE August 12th 2005.
All my best,
Rob Schneider
Roger Eberts mening om Rob Schneiders brev:
Reading this, I was about to observe that Schneider can dish it out but he can't take it. Then I found he's not so good at dishing it out, either. I went online and found that Patrick Goldstein has won a National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement.
Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks.
But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" while passing on the opportunity to participate in "Million Dollar Baby," "Ray," "The Aviator," "Sideways" and "Finding Neverland." As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.
