Yes, thats is the part which annoyed me. Too many american based/made movies! Wimbledon, set in the UK but american stars and company!


Shut up. There are several british and austrian actors here that star in everything. Most of them are good actors. Don't get all pissy because of that. You still have Lord of the Rings, 4 people in that series are American. [addsig]

I think what $loth is getting at is that it would be nice to have a British film that doesn't have to have big American names in order to sell itself across the pond.

e.g. Notting Hill, Bridget Jones etc.

That was his point Crono - those are two UK films with UK actors that did well in the US.

It appeared to be a follow up to Adam's post ... or at least that's how I read it. [addsig]

I was giving examples of british films that did well without relying on US big name actors.

At least the British don't have a huge, saddening, special effects-driven movie coming out about finding a treasure map on the back of the Magna Carta.

But wouldn't it be great if we did?

Chris Barrie as a supporting cast member with oooh, I reckon George Clooney as lead - oh and all the Brits will be speaking with that god-awful posh London accent Hollywood thinks we all have!

It's quite sickening really...even British productions do it. I watched the first episode of 'Hex' the other day (Brit produce) and everyone was yer typical toff.

Oh, and the only football (sorry, soccer...) team in the UK is Manchester United

Golly gosh...

Sorry if i'm being cynical.

Don't worry it's just the other 90% of America that is stupid.

OH GOD, OH GOD!! Why even mention that hunk of dog s**t ... with Nicholas Cage ... who sucks ... except in Adaptation.

just watched the trailer, gotta admit, was the first time i heard of it.. sadly i have to say, why do they waste time with cage

the movie, looks exactly like one i'd watch.. cage plays a great dweeb "family man" but is horrible at anything else

trailer looks great though.

/me adds to list of movies i may like cause crono doesn't

*Slaps Orph's hand*

NO! Bad!


Nicholas Cage can act (surprisingly)... the only problem is: he can only act when he plays a psycho or a very disturbed person, which is rare. [addsig]

If the idea of a character named Benjamin Franklin Gates hunting around for buried Egyptian treasure hidden by George Washington using the design on a one dollar bill for clues doesn't set off your "God damn, how lame can movies get?" alarm, then I dunno what to say. Perhaps you need to change the batteries - you're supposed to check them every month.

Hit the nail on the head. Any scene with Cage is so wooden it's like a furniture store has been thrown into the movie o_O !
