I took another snide jab at this film today while eating lunch with some friends. One of them asked if anybody else had seen the trailer for PAPARAZZI and I quipped "Paparazzi? More like SLOP-arazzi." Not ten seconds after the explosion of hearty laughter had ceased, somebody dragged me up four flights of stairs and chucked me over the balcony like a My Buddy doll. It hurt like a cocksucking rat bastard motherfucker and I'm pretty sure the culprit's name rhymes with "GLOW JEREMY".

Be careful is all I'm saying.

If Bo Laramie is unleashing hell for minor things like that, Imagine what will happen when his blonde son suffers a mild ankle sprain in that car accident caused by evil Paparazzi.

Bo Laramie is a one-man mafia. He cannot be bargained with. He cannot be reasoned with. He will not be stopped.

With that said, nice to see Robin Tunney still doing work. She was quite bangtastic in THE CRAFT and NIAGARA, NIAGARA (EMPIRE RECORDS, too, but the bald thing turns most off...).

Alright, i was watching the clips at yahoo, and it turns out Evil Sizemore took naked pictures of.....LARAMIE'S SON. Not Laramie's wife. How much more evil can they make him? He'll probably turn out to be a time traveling nazi general or something.

I was in the park the other day taking pictures of blue-jays and titmice when suddenly someone whacked me on the back of the head with a golf-club. I didn't see who it was but I can distinctly remember someone saying "Sorry to break your focus. Let's see how your HEAD develops, asshole. So sayeth BO."

I suppose it's what I get for taking pictures of naked birds. I was just asking for someone to teach me a lesson.

This film makes my nipples resemble missiles.

When I grow up, I want to be like Bo.

Only if Kari Wuhrer graces the premiere with her presence.

I'm surprised the tabloids haven't done a smear campaign on this film. But maybe that's why Son of Wings was cast, rather than someone like Vin Diesel or whomever, who actually need the media...

Well the (5) reviews are in. These should make it on the newspaper and TV ads.

"Spending more time laughing at it (and more than a few times with it), I managed to get a rather addictively goofy movie that somehow escaped a fate on the USA Network." -Erik Childress

"A classic revenge tale in the tradition of Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood and the early works of Steven Seagal." -Mr. Fred Topel

This thread is FAR more entertaining than the film itself will probably be.

I think Mel Gibson's got the kind of insane dough (ntm the balls) now to make movies based on everyday things that piss him off. He once walked into my friend's ice cream store in Santa Monica Promenade and thru a mini-hissy fit when some of the other customers asked to get some photos with him. Imagine that shit? I hope this type of topical, universally maligned sociopathic behavior will be addressed in the sequel.

Pretty much. It's like PUNISHER-lite. I FEEL ROBBED.
I thought Laramie would go on a paparazzi killing spree, but he only really killed one guy. The death is off camera too. Instead, Bo takes lessons from Thomas Jane and sets them up. More accurately, he kills one kinda/sorta on accident, sets up two and murders one.

Oh and Farina plays a really dumb cop. I love the epiphany when he stops at a traffic light. Wouldn't the camera that takes pictures of speeders be one of the first things you check when you're investigating an automobile accident?

There are cameos too. Chris Rock plays a pizza delivery boy.

And here's the worst part: BO DOESN'T THROW ANYONE OUT OF A WINDOW. Such bullshit.

Mel Gibson in the anger management waiting room, Vince Vaughn shows Laramie a "LARAMIE GETS PENILE ENLARGEMENT" paparazzi magazine, and Matthew Mcconau**** says "Good job, man" or something like that at the end.

I liked it. I went in without any pre-concieved ideas and I had a fun ride. Was it a great movie? No. Was it an entertaining movie? Yes.

During the first ten minutes I was sort of amused by the fact that it looked like it was made by a fellow film student, it was really by the book. I was mentally doing a checklist in my head as the story was getting established. "Okay, there is the opening shot of the city to establish location...theres a second location shot at a screening...now they are establishing character and basic background information...more background information...first moment of tension...dealing with it dealing with it...second moment of tension..."

It was definetly a classic revenge thing and had that 50's detective story vibe. The bad guys were a little bit too evil, they went to ridiculous lengths and were sort of like cardboard cut out boogeymen. It was more funny than annoying though. I'd say that pretty much sums it up. It's a decent little flick, there are some genuinely entertaining moments, and even when they mess something up it is still funny as hell.
