Jayruss 0 #80 October 21, 2003 Quote I think that Guy tried his best to get skydiving out into the public. Cut Away isn't going to win any awards, but I give Guy credit for trying. He had to try to please more than the 33,000 USPA members. Actually the movie wasn't made for skydivers and did fairly well financially considering its status. One doesn't make a movie for only 33,000 people, kind of a reason why you don't see a lot of skydiving movies. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 26 #85 October 21, 2003 QuoteIt was made for HBO Maybe I'm wrong, but when it started getting coverage in Skydiving, it was said to be meant for theater release, then it was annouced it would only be released on tape.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #87 October 21, 2003 QuoteMaybe I'm wrong, but when it started getting coverage in Skydiving, it was said to be meant for theater release, then it was annouced it would only be released on tape Actually, what happened involved other stuff. Artisan Entertainment was promoting Blair Witch II. BW I was immensely successful. The margin (investment/return) was huge. Unfortunately, it was successful because of the novelty, cult appeal, mystery. Those were gone with BW II. When it tanked, AE did not want to spend the cash to promote Cutaway. Thus, it was sold to the USA Network for tv release. No promotion and some quick cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you watch the part where Rodman throws Baldwin up against the back of the bus, you'll see something. Baldwins eyes get as big as saucers. I don't think anyone has ever grabbed Baldwin aggressively. Rodman has been in sports all his life, Baldwin went to acting school. Most actors are posers. Rodman has been there, done that. He also hung out, threw a ball around, seemed kind of real. A lot of the other actors spent all their time impressing everyone and chasing honeys. His decision to not jump was based on lack of interest. He respects the sport, but has other stuff to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #95 October 21, 2003 Maybe because Guy Manos has over 10 000 jumps and is a well know big way organizer some people don't want to come out and state the obvious - that movie was a piece of shit. I know it was only made to make money and wasn't made as an advertisement for the sport, but god that movie was crap. And anybody who reckons Hollywood can't make a decent movie about skydiving obviously hasn't seen 'The Gypsy Moths' (1969). Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #97 October 22, 2003 My hometown preacher: ================= An Irish priest and a Rabbi got into a car accident. They both got out of their cars and stumbled over to the side of the road. The Rabbi says, "Oy vey! What a wreck!" The priest asks him, "Are you all right, Rabbi?" The Rabbi responds, "Just a little shaken." The priest pulls a flask of whiskey from his coat and says, "Here, drink some of this it will calm your nerves." The Rabbi takes the flask and drinks it down and says, "Well, what are we going to tell the police?" "Well," the priest says, "I don't know what your aft' to be tellin' them. But I'll be tellin' them I wasn't the one drinkin'."witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not an excuse, just the way I look at it. Skydiving doesn't make you bad, cool, or tough. Just as not skydiving doesn't make you a p@@@@. My rule for making those judgements is this: Would I tell them that in person? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 26 #99 October 22, 2003 Quotebut god that movie was crap. God I hate it when we agree..... Still, I'm glad It went to video. This way I only spend 5 bucks renting it instead of 20 going the to movies to see it. I'm sure the movie is better then if I had made it, but considering I'm not making a living in Hollywood, thats normal. If I meet Guy one day, I'll be glad to share my views if he asks, but I rather talk skydiving with him Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
