Mason: I can’t wait to get to the movie theaters soon and catch Michel Gondry’s new flick.
Beren: Ohh Be Kind Rewind.
Mason: Yeah.
Beren: It looks awesome.
Mason: It looks so amazing, right?
Beren: Yeah. Yeah. Mos Def. Jack Black.
Mason: Jack Black. Danny Glover’s in it too and what has he done anytime recently?
Beren: Yeah. I don’t know. I haven’t seen a movie with him in it in a really long time. But Jack Black that’s like a kinda left-field choice for that type of movie, to me.
Mason: Really?
Beren: Kinda, yeah.
Mason: No, I mean, it’s totally right for some crazy weird concept. Like who would you believe would actually indulge the idea of remaking popular movies with, like, a high-definition camera and, like, props from his basement? Jack Black.
Beren: Maybe. I don’t know. I think it should have been like Tom Green’s comeback vehicle or something.
Mason: Oh. But would you have paid…I wouldn’t have paid money to see that.
Beren: I would have paid money. I am a Tom Green fan. But anyway, Be Kind Rewind, Michel Gondry. Incredible.
Mason: It’s such a good concept for his style of work, right? For that really organic, DIY thing.
Beren: Totally.

Discussion
Mason believes that Jack Black would actually do something crazy and silly like remaking films in his basement. Though, Beren would have liked to see Tom Green play the main character.
Either way they are excited to see Michel Gondry direct and write another movie. He’s the guy who did The Science of Sleep and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He’s a quirky director, who makes hand-made objects and alternate realities in his films. In Be Kind Rewind, he uses both of these elements.
What movie would you remake? Did you pick one you’re obsessed with, or one you think you could do better?

I checked the trailer and it kinda looked funny. Maybe this flick is for those who have watched many flicks so far, like Robocop, Goast busters, Rocky…etc. Anyway what I'd like to is to be able to watch movies without sbutitles. |
