"I want to do a little movie, about $12 to $14 million," the Germany-born Emmerich said of the project back in 2013. "It’s about these crazy kids in New York, and a country bumpkin who gets into their gang, and at the end they start this riot and change the world."

Imaginary hero white boy to the rescue!

one month passes...

Roland Emmerich has never turned out a single watchable minute of film. Anyone who says otherwise fundamentally misunderstands the medium.

BFI begs to disagree...

that tweet is extreme imo. each emmerich pic is an excuse for exactly one good shot.

so if you string them together you might get a minute

Given that I generally regard Emmerich as a less offensive (though scarcely less crappy) Michael Bay, will this essentially be Emmerich's Pearl Harbour?

The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 22 September 2015 04:20 (nine years ago)

Based on the reviews so far, apparently Emmerich is an even worse gay man than he is a filmmaker.

How bad is Stonewall? Armond White doesn't even like it.

only reason for optimism was that J R Baitz is a somewhat skilled playwright, but sounds like this one got away from him.

$871 per theater is terrible.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 September 2015 01:06 (nine years ago)

The local Landmark Theater just announced they're pulling it after just a single week in theaters. Unmitigated disaster.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Monday, 28 September 2015 15:58 (nine years ago)

tbf emmerich is something of a disaster specialist

I'm usually relieved that I'm living in the one and only state that doesn't have a film critics circle, but that would've been a fun afternoon out.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Monday, 28 September 2015 16:38 (nine years ago)

And now he's biking all the way to Montana or something. I may have to say something to him when he gets back, even tho I know he's str8.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Monday, 28 September 2015 17:08 (nine years ago)

don't you usually say something before/after sweaty hugs?

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Monday, 28 September 2015 17:09 (nine years ago)

No, I mean say SOMEthing.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Monday, 28 September 2015 17:32 (nine years ago)

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Monday, 28 September 2015 17:52 (nine years ago)

LOL, yeah right, like I'm ACTUALLY going to say something to someone I find attractive.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Monday, 28 September 2015 17:54 (nine years ago)

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Monday, 28 September 2015 17:55 (nine years ago)

This is very quickly becoming the other Gay Fall thread.

The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Monday, 28 September 2015 18:18 (nine years ago)

Yeah, well I mostly live gay life through pop culture anyway.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Monday, 28 September 2015 18:25 (nine years ago)
