Re: Suggest a movie!
You've done Karate Kid, how about the sort of adult version, Rocky? You can then perhaps do an intermission covering the sequels (and how Rocky IV is clearly the best of them all 
)
I'd love to hear Eddie get involved in another martial arts themed commentary, perhaps Warrior?

Re: Suggest a movie!
Okay I was really thinking about a movie that I thought would be good to do. Now don't judge, let it set in first. What about Legends of the Fall. I know that it immediately screams oh dear god NO! However I would like to hear the guys take on a tragety.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I was literally thinking just this morning how (Fincher's) GWDT is an example of -- objectively -- a brilliantly crafted movie which -- subjectively -- I don't much care for at all. I might still pick it up on Blu-Ray for the BTS content but I don't expect I'll ever actually feel the need to watch the film itself again. Though to be fair to Fincher, I think it's more that I don't find GWDT compelling in any medium (didn't see what the fuss was about when I read the book, either).

Even Fincher admitted in an interview here in London, that GWDT was 'one for the studio' as opposed to 'one for himself'.
not long to go now...

I would hope, then, that his next movie is one no sane studio would have greenlit without the bribe of GWDT.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I realise it's very poor form to ask again so soon, but I'd like to say that having Eddie talk lyrical about martial arts would be real sweet - intermission or full commentary, whatever!

Re: Suggest a movie!
You couldn't at least wait until we were on the next page? 
And I, again, have to concur

Re: Suggest a movie!
I finally got around to watching GWTDT the other night. And I thought it was...alright, everything that needed to be there was, but on the whole (Coming from the book) it felt very...sterile...I guess is the best word.
Everything was just sort of presented very neatly and orderly and we never really got to rip into the flesh of any of the characters (And considering the subject matter...well you know...yeah). I never really got that sense of intrigue or obsession or betrayal that you get in the book.
And ultimately yeah, I just sort of walked away with a general meh-ness.
However Roony Mara and Daniel Craig were both pitch perfect to the characters, easily the best things about it.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I actually wouldn't mind hearing more about how to properly shoot a fight, any sort of fight really. It's not something I hear about a lot, and you guys kind of get into once in a while, but it's always just sort of an off hand comment or two.

Fight sequences and shooting fights would be a cool subject.

Also, how to kill a man with one punch. You know, for ... filmic accuracy.

Re: Suggest a movie!
I think it'd be awesome to get Eddie on a commentary about The Raid when that hits video. That's a text-book perfect example of fight choreography, staging (continuity of cuts/motion, movement of camera to accentuate impact while keeping the geography and fighting clear), and action-movie pacing. I can't think of a better movie to have all those discussions on.

Re: Suggest a movie!
All I know is I'm a fan of anything that breaks the mold of the standard Kung Fu/Haymaker mold. The fact that there's a whole movie using Panchak Silat? I'm so in.
