[Expendable.]

This movie is crazy. I didn't like it, but you won't look at fried chicken the same ever again. And of course, the Speed Racer is headline bait for the GAF majority that think that is somehow a good movie. Enjoy.

TRAILER



Director: William Friedkin (The Exorcist, Bug)
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple, Gina Gershon, Thomas Haden Church
Writers: Tracy Letts (Bug)

Synopsis

When 22-year-old Chris (Emile Hirsch) finds himself in debt to a drug lord, he hires a hit man to dispatch his mother, whose $50,000 life insurance policy benefits his sister Dottie (Juno Temple). Chris finds Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a creepy, crazy Dallas cop who moonlights as a contract killer. When Chris can't pay Joe upfront, Joe sets his sight on Dottie as collateral for the job. The contract killer and his hostage develop an unusual bond. Like from a modern-day, twisted fairy tale, "Killer Joe" Cooper becomes the prince to Dottie's Cinderella. Based on the play by Pulitzer and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts, "Killer Joe" is a garish, proactive black comedy from Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) and stars Emile Hirsch, Matthew McConaughey, Juno Temple, Thomas Hayden Church, and Gina Gershon.

Killer Joe hits theaters on July 27th, 2012.

[Scullibundo]

Watched the trailer earlier today and didn't like what I saw. Can never take MM seriously. Shame Emile Hirsch has been reduced to this.

[Solstice]

Is it going to hit theaters with an NC-17 rating? Or will it be toned down to an R for the theatrical release?

[Nyx]

I think this looks awesome, will watch.

[Expendable.]

Is it going to hit theaters with an NC-17 rating? Or will it be toned down to an R for the theatrical release?

Nope, going to theaters with NC-17.

[jett]

NC17 huh, is there a bunch of dicks in this movie? That's usually the only time I see that rating. :lol BTW Expendable, that question is rhetorical, don't tell me anything.

Seems sort of interesting, I'll watch depending on reviews.

[Senoculum]

NC-17 means my wife Juno will show more than just her boobies.

[Expendable.]

NC-17 means my wife Juno will show more than just her boobies.

Perhaps in the very first scene, if I were to guess.

[polyh3dron]

Fuck you, Speed Racer IS a good movie.

[shira]

Fuck you, Speed Racer IS a good movie.

I read speed racer nc17

[wenis]

Looks interesting, will have to check it out when it comes out.

[Sol..]

when i see NC-17 I wonder if it's Spartacus raunchy or Game of Thrones raunchy?

[Revolutionary]

Looks like it could be pretty good. Will keep an eye on this.

Fuck you, Speed Racer IS a good movie.

As a sleeping aid, absolutely.

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I thought William Friedkin was dead. Cool that he's not.

[distantmantra]

NC-17 for violence or sexual content? Or both?

[samus i am]

What happens in the fried chicken scene?

[Expendable.]

What happens in the fried chicken scene?

Let's just say you won't be going to KFC again.

NC-17 for violence or sexual content? Or both?

A disturbing/gleeful mix of both.

[GungHo]

Let's just say you won't be going to KFC again.

Tease.

[Expendable.]

when i see NC-17 I wonder if it's Spartacus raunchy or Game of Thrones raunchy?

I haven't seen either of these shows, but it's more slimy dirty (but NOT strict gore) not the sexy kind. It just has the oddest of tones.

[Canuck76]

People like speed racer what? Seriously?

Looks interesting.

[madkiller]

I'll keep this one in mind. Bug was.....interesting.

[Messofanego]

I'm intrigued, mostly by how this is NC-17. Matthew Mahogany actually looking good and no shirt removals? He was at first disgusted by the script, but then found the humor in it.

After all these years, I guess Friedkin still got the edge to get such a rating. Kermode saw it, apparently should watch out for a scene with chicken :P

Oh yeah UK gets it first, June 29th! :D

[Expendable.]

People like speed racer what? Seriously? Looks interesting.

Not just like, GAF loves it. They think it's actually a great movie.

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

I don't think much of the play that this is based on, so I'm not particularly excited for it.

[Discotheque]

Not just like, GAF loves it. They think it's actually a great movie.

No crazier than loving Mission Impossible 4 or Captain America. Those are so much more hollow than Speed Racer.

And yeah this film doesn't look too good. Emile Hirsch has a bomba career now.

[jett]

No crazier than loving Mission Impossible 4 or Captain America. Those are so much more hollow than Speed Racer.

Thank you.

Captain America is a complete turd with no redeeming qualities.

[Messofanego]

The Wachowskis visualized the perfect live-action version of a cartoon with Speed Racer. That's why I love it, but I'm not going to argue for it being a great film or something.

[Dan]

Speed Racer is brilliant. One of the absolute best big budget blockbusters of this century.

[Incendiary]

This actually looks pretty awesome to me, although the trailer doesn't give any sort of NC-17 vibe. If I didn't know better I'd think it was a standard R thriller.

[Messofanego]

Just came back from it.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT

OH WOW

I'll need a day to go over the finer details about the character motivations in the last minute of the movie. That fried chicken scene, oh man it's insane. I won't be able to look at fried chicken the same way again. Right after the screening, a couple went into a grilled chicken restaurant, they got balls! As I was coming back, I saw a girl having a fried chicken leg on the street, and honestly felt queasy.

There were some painfully hilarious moments where I knew I shouldn't be laughing, which is a sign of a good black comedy.

Matthew Mahogany, omg what a brilliant turn of a performance. He just crawls into your skin. If the Academy weren't such an uppity fart, his performance here needs to be considered for awards. Gina Gershon, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church, and Emile Hirsch are all great.

Even without the fried chicken scene that will obviously be the most talked about part of the movie, it'd still make for a pretty good thriller with great direction, cinematography, and a chilling performance by Matthew Mcconaughey.

William Friedkin still got game. Oh yeah, the NC-17 or 18 here in UK is obvious all over.

Man, 2012 has been a great year for indie movies.

[Speedymanic]

I heard great things about MM performance in this, very happy to hear it wasn't bluster/overhyped.

[Messofanego]

His fucking eyes, man.

[Boerseun]

Wow, that looks fantastic! Bug was some amazingly creepy stuff. Glad to see Friendkin continue on a high. Hopefully he won't wait another six years before doing his next film.

[Speedymanic]

So, after much hassling, I finally got a friend to spoil the fried chicken scene. GOOD GOD. O_O

I seriously cannot wait to watch this.

[quadriplegicjon]

I hadn't even heard of this. I'll have to check it out.

[Sliver]

Can someone post with spoilers or PM me the details of the "friend chicken scene?" I'm very interested but probably won't be seeing this.

[Speedymanic]

Honestly, I'm ever so slightly bummed that I forced my friend to tell me. It sounds good, but loses some of its impact and would be amazing if watched.

All I will say is the scene involves a fried chicken leg, Gina Gershon and a whole load of WTF.

[BPRD]

so is the movie out in theaters? how do people already know so much?

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

For Sliver
Gina Gershon performs oral on a chicken leg.

[BPRD]

thats it? how is that even something

[Speedymanic]

July 27 in the US, it's currently out on a limited release in the UK.

[Speedymanic]

It apparently loses a lot of impact when described. It's more a visual scene as it relies heavily on the performances of all involved.

[remnant]

For Sliver Gina Gershon performs oral on a chicken leg.

That's it? Or are you fucking with us?

[BPRD]

July 27 in the US, it's currently out on a limited release in the UK.

I'm from Texas, why does the UK get it?

[Speedymanic]

I'm from Texas, why does the UK get it?

I honestly don't know. UK has been getting quite a few released before the US this year, which is a very surprising change considering most releases in the past were US first, UK second or later.

Seems strange to release it after Rises in the US, it will be all but ignored by the masses but then it was never going to get more than a limited release, which is a damn shame considering all the good feedback.

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

That's it? Or are you fucking with us?

thats it? how is that even something

Thats it.

[Tremas]

Saw it yesterday. Good grief, that entire final act was edge of the seat viewing. The film was also genuinely very funny at times.

If you think you've been spoiled on the fried chicken scene, you really haven't. It's a lot more graphic, uncomfortable and protracted than any description could give it credit for especially when he forces her to moan, I cringed throughout

[XANDER CAGE]

I'd highly advise skipping the trailer, it spoils a bit too much.

Fantastic movie.

[Speedymanic]

I take it by the lack of replies that no-one watched this over the weekend?

:(

[Bleepey]

Matthew machwoeverthefuckyouspellithey put me off fried chickn. The violence against women in this film made me uncomfortable.
