total recall remake (1 Viewer)

Notice that the picture implies her breasts aren't naked in this remake :thumbdown:

Attention: The woman who plays Total Recall's three-breasted prostitute does not actually have three breasts

While the inclusion of a three-breasted prostitute is one of the only real links between Len Wiseman's Total Recall remake and the 1990 original, that is the only genuine, tangible thing about it—a fact that demands to be made clear, judging from a recent flurry of articles. To repeat, louder for those in the back of the Internet: Kaitlyn Leeb, the woman who plays the three-breasted prostitute in the new Total Recall, does not actually have three breasts. They are what pioneering film illusionists such as Georges Méliès have long referred to as "fake boobs," despite a very convincing Comic-Con appearance that, according to Leeb, had "a bunch of people at Comic-Con asking if I had surgery for the third one"—which seems like both an impressive commitment to a split-second cameo, and a very forward question for a Comic-Con crowd. Some slightly more pragmatic others, Leeb continues, believed she walked the convention floor sporting a single boob prosthesis nestled among her real ones, lamenting, "I guess that's the one thing that bothers me the most is that they think I'm out there prancing around Comic-Con with my breasts out." (As though anyone would stoop to such displays at Comic-Con.)

But indeed "they" did think that, and "they" are still unlikely to be dissuaded from thinking that even now, given that Yahoo has reported a huge surge in people searching for Leeb's name, redundantly adding that it's noted "77 percent of the interest coming from men," many of them from boys under 13. Still, Leeb says she's excited about what all the attention could do for her career—attention that will surely continue now that it's clear she's just an actress with fake breasts—but worries about being "typecast." Terrence Malick's next film will simply have to find someone else.

In related news, Len Wiseman isn't actually a substitute for Paul Verhoeven. This, too, is just an illusion.

Okay, I'll be the guy who says that this is a movie that genuinely deserves a remake. I saw the original several months ago for the first time in years, and I was surprised by how bad it was; it much cheesier than I had remembered. And of course Arnold was awful. This could have been a much better movie with a better cast and a darker style.

Of course, that's not the direction they seem to be going with this so I'm sure the remake will probably suck, but this isn't like remaking an already-perfect film like Halloween. It's a remake of a good story that deserved a better film treatment.

A GB of mine caught this last night and here is his review :unsure:

Len Wiseman is a tool. #### your Total Recall. All I read was how it was different from the original...yeah it sucked so in that regard it was different. You lifted 75% of the exact dialogue and plot, took out the violence, 2 hours of unnecessary lens flares, and put together one of the most uninteresting movies in years. Congrats. Now go back to making shifty retreads of the same worn out premise so you can find an excuse to get your wife a consistent paycheck. Who is hot. Really hot. Yet another reason to hate your untalented ###.

Actually he's done some solid work in good movies recently - In Bruges, Pride & Glory, Crazy Heart, Horrible Bosses.He's been better recently than when he first made a name for himself.
 
Have to be pretty dumb or bored to pay money to see this. The second you buy this ticket it's the moment you need to sit down and really think about what you're doing with your life IMO

True, but Biel and Beckinsdale? That's a pretty compelling one two punch.

It's a summer action flick. Nothing wrong with that, just don't expect more than that going in and don't ##### about the lack of story coming out. Not sure why going to see it requires life re-evaluation. About the movie itself, went to see it today. It was a fun summer action flick. If you've seen the original, you know where the story is going, but Ferrell plays the role better than Arnold, IMO.

I saw the movie this weekend. I really enjoyed it.

The action was non-stop from start to finish. The movie moved fast and they didn't waste a lot of time going into stupid details and character background which I think annoyed critics (the, "why did they do that people")

This is a great guy/action movie with very subtle shctick from the first one to make it good.

I would watch it again.

 
I saw it yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Given how it's been almost universally panned. Much less hokey than the original (though I loved the original). A fun action flick.

 
Got a free movie on DirectTV and was gonna burn it on this. Everyone is hammering it and so is rotten tomatoes (which has been accurate for me). The Biel/Beckinsale combo is intriguing. But I'm getting an Expendables 2 vibe here.

:unsure:

 
I watched this on a plane and stopped a couple of different times to read the in-fight magazine.

The Bryan Cranston fight with Colin Farrell was laughably bad.

Terrible.

Kate Beckinsale was the only redeeming element of the movie.

I think the awfulness was exaggerated even more for me since the original was such a fun head trip of a movie. they turned it into a bland dumbed down pg-13 action movie.

this is why I am afraid to try the new Robocop too.

 
Why would I care about her cheating on her husband? She's hot and I like her movie roles, why should I care? Do you also hate Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood for their indiscretions? Makes no sense.

It makes me think they are bad people and im not really a fan anymore

 
The movie was utter and complete crap. I love the one and only original. This was an abortion.

I can think of worse things to do in life, like having 50k posts on a forum.
