The early drafts of Leon: The Professional had a 'love-making' scene between Leon and his child protege. He started dating Maiwenn de Besco when she was 15, which was legal but still pre' gross.

He's no Tom Salva or Roman Polanski or even Bertolucci, but he's a low-key confirmed pedo.

From everything I've heard professionally he's horrible to work with. Bullies his crew something shocking. He apparently left a focus puller in the middle of nowhere after he messed up a shot Luc liked and made him find his own way back to the crew hotel a hundred or so miles away.

As someone who works in editorial, I'm ok with this. But not so much the statutory rape thing.

In an interview given to Chilean newspaper The Clinic, Jodorowsky claimed that neither he nor Moebius actually sued Besson, but that the editor of the comic book was the one who did so. He further claimed that he lost the case because Moebius "betrayed them" by working directly with Besson on the production of the film.

I didn't know about Maïwenn, what does ye olde Wiki say:

quote:

In 1991, Maïwenn met director and producer Luc Besson. In January 1993, at age 16, Maïwenn gave birth to daughter Shanna with husband Luc Besson. She was 20 at the beginning of filming (early 1996) for The Fifth Element, during which Besson left her for the film's star, Milla Jovovich.

I wish Besson makes a sequel to Adele Blanc Sec. That movie was really charming and underappreciated, despite some pretty iffy cgi.

I never would've guessed that Lord Cholmondeley's valet was the killer in Chinamen Sure Smoke a lot of Dope it's a shame that Christie basically recycled that plot in The Irish are Basically Animals and they Worship the Moon .

For what it's worth, Dish Dogs might legitimately be the worst movie I've ever seen.

That's pretty on the nose. I remember it being pretty funny and Tommy Lee Jones yells a whole bunch in it, which is always nice.

If you guys are into weird TV movies, A Cold Night's Death is pretty good. There are no real good posters for it, but all you need to know is that it's The Thing if it was shot by the Columbo crew. It's also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYFWAZ6QiUI

I'm sure Agatha Christie was perfectly racist, but Murder on the Orient Express prominently features Hercule Poirot mocking his friend when the guy tries to solve the murder using ethnic stereotypes as evidence.

I'm like half an hour into this and that's basically what it is. It's First Blood with less character development and Tommy Lee Jones wasting New York City cops to a Tangerine Dream soundtrack. It's pretty hilarious and kind of owns, but not at all for the reasons First Blood does.

Robert Rusler? Of all the people from Babylon 5 who I never expected to see with first billing on a movie, even a small one, he's at the top. I didn't even know he was still working.

Then again, Bryan Cranston used to be at the top of that list.

I just don't get why they're remaking MotOE. Half of the appeal of the original is the whodunit, and everyone knows that by now. I'm sure they'll probably change the ending for this one, but the ending in the story is so surprising and perfect that I can't see how a new ending will be anything but underwhelming in comparison.

The other half of the appeal was the cast... and they're offering up Josh Gad, Johnny Depp, and the worst fake mustache I've ever seen on film. Given that said mustache appears on the film's director/lead, he obviously thinks the soup strainer is a good idea. I have absolutely no hope that the film will be any good at all.

I'm not sure everyone does know the ending. Like if you went and asked people on the street, I'd be surprised if 1 in 5 people would admit to having heard of it at all. And it's not like the first film was an original screenplay or the Christie novel was obscure. Anyway, it's good to see Depp revisiting his much loved Mortdecai character.

Everyone knows the ending if this was like, fuckin, 1935. It's 2017, people don't about that stuff. You think the kids watching Pewdiepie and dubstep know about Agatha Christie?
