Is there ever a reason for anyone, anywhere, to agree to star in a movie like Theodore Rex? I mean, has there ever been a clearer sign that a career has fallen below rock bottom than a movie about a cop and her new partner, a cop also, but also a dinosaur (in red Chucks)?
Seriously, at what point do you kill yourself? Shouldn’t that point be before you make a movie like Theodore Rex? Wait, I’ll be right back, the dinosaur is doing a Scottish accent now.
OK, I’m back. I will never be the same after that.
Anyway. And what about Quigley? In which Gary Busey plays a little white dog, and spends much of the movie on his hands and knees wearing a black leather dog collar? Again, shouldn’t suicide be somewhere on the scale between Point Break and Quigley?
There was a contract issue IIRC for Whoopi in Theodore Rex. She didn’t want to do the movie but this was around the time another actress (Kim Basinger, I think) had gotten into hot water for breaking a contract.
Wasn’t there some sort of creepy Adam and Eve subplot involving Mr. Rex and a female of his species? I watched it as a teen and seem to recall some sort of gross insinuation of dino-sex.
Wow, based on quite a few of your threads, what an utter surprise you’re upping your trolling and just coming right out to be a jerk. My, such an excellent way of making your stay here that much shorter.
Not that it’s any great revelation, but the staff will be discussing your posting privileges.
Right. The production company claimed that she had entered into a verbal contract to do the film a few years before, and sued her for $20 mil. when she tried to back out. She ended up agreeing to do the movie in exchange for them dropping the lawsuit.
Nearly everything I wanted to say in this thread has already been said so I’ll just add that Theodore Rex has the dubious distinction of being by far the most expensive movie ever to go STV (straight-to-video).
This gives me an excuse to comment on the fact that I thought I was the only one who ever noticed the “male character on a TV show/movie in red Chucks=wacky” code, but even The Onion has poked fun at it.
I’ve never seen Theodore Rex, but I have heard of it- and the whole premise sounds like something Homer Simpson would have thought up.
IMHO, the world would have been better off if Gary Busey (and Billy Zane) had committed suicide right before agreeing to do Kurtlar vadisi - Irak. For those of you not familiar with the film (which was made in '06), let me just point you to what Wikipedia says about it:
Wow. Thanks but no. I’m not a huge fan of the movie, but I’d love one for the store. Unfortunately most of our customers couldn’t play a Region 4 disc.
Re. the OP – what, and never taste Entenmann’s again? :dubious:
I won’t [ever] be seeing T. Rex, but surely the thespish career limbo bar was set very low by Richard Pryor in The Toy… and by John Travolta in Battlefield Earth…
