Its going to be terrible. And I will enjoy every minute of it.

I've actually heard pretty good stuff about it. I don't expect it to be an amazing movie, but I think it'll be better than average.

At first glance I thought this said XKCD - The Movie.

disappointed

Ditto.

JCVD... "I am tired of all ze snakes on zis muzzerfucking plane!"

It's going to suck, but in a bad way.

What? The festival circuit loved the shit out of it. I heard it'd be damn good.

Apparently Van Damme turns in a tour de force.

The role of a washed-up action star named Jean Claude Van Damme is the role that washed-up action star Jean Claude Van Damme was born to play.

Hell I'd see it, and enjoy the fuck out of it.

This looks so fuckin bizzare

Inlander · « **Reply #9 on:** 07 Dec 2008, 18:44 »

Ohhhhh, Jean-Claude Van Damme. I was trying to think of what JCVD could stand for. (I stopped when I got to "Jesus Christ Videodrome".)

I would see that musical.

Especially if Jesus were played by Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Siibillam-Law · « **Reply #12 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 03:23 »

Jean Claude Van Damme would make an amazing Jesus

Inlander · « **Reply #13 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 04:09 »

At Easter he would come out of that cave and kick all the Romans' arses.

Siibillam-Law · « **Reply #14 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 12:14 »

He wouldn't even allow the romans to go anywhere near him. He'd go up to Judas and kick eight kinds of shit out of him, before coming up with a snappy line like "at least your soul's been saved".

Okay, I warmly recommend JCVD. I thought I knew what to expect, from the trailer, but I had nfi... and I mean that in a totally positive way! Don't read the spoilers and you'll find the plot to be pretty surprising.

The script is good--original, cool, funny!--as is the direction... and van Damme is much more of an actor in this movie than he's ever been before.

Apart from an annoying monologue somewhere near the end, I enjoyed every minute of JCVD. I actually feel like watching it again!

Give it a look if you get the chance. I think many--if not most--of you will find it totally worth your time

I dug up this thread because I really dug the movie! Van Damme surprised the shit out of me because it turns out the man can actually act. There's a ton of times the movie pokes fun at his career and everything, and that's all fun and games; but the story is actually really decent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Especially if you actually dig campy action movies like Bloodsport, and want to see Van Damme in a really different role...

Siibillam-Law · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 Jan 2009, 04:48 »

I too have seen it and think it's pretty not bad

Better than any other Van Damme film I've seen, but that's not saying much

Better than any film I've seen this year, except when I decided to rewatch Infernal Affairs

Dimmukane · « **Reply #18 on:** 14 Jan 2009, 08:17 »

I just watched it last night without subtitles. I was also surprised. Even though I couldn't understand pretty much any of the dialogue, I was still able to follow the plot without a problem, which I think signifies a decent script. Even if you don't like Jean Claude, it's still a pretty decent and somewhat atypical heist flick.

LucyStag · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 Jan 2009, 20:20 »

I was utterly convinced that this thread was titled "XKCD: The Movie" and that it was actually getting made. I was very surprised that I had missed this news.
