Eastern Promises

[LiddyRules]

I just saw Eastern Promises, the new David Cronenberg movie, and was thought it was fantastic. Unfortunately, it seemed really too short, almost like a half movie. Other than that, Cronenberg nails yet another one. Just one warning: Aragorn's cock. But if you can handle seeing a man's penis without freaking out (unlike certain radio hosts), I highly recommend it. Fantastic acting, Cronenberg still remains one of the best tone-attuned directors, and it was very haunting.

i've been looking forward to this. i've really enjoyed the last few movies cronenberg has done. especially when he teamed up with viggo. i can't read the spoiler, i wont even read any reviews because i dont want anything to ruin it for me.

I guess people didn't see the extended ROTK where Aragorn showed his cock to the Mouth of Sauron and started to blush then Aragorn cut his head off because he was gawkin' at the cock. Even though the Mouth of Sauron doesn't have any eyes. He understood the thunder.

David Cronenberg Planning a Sequel to 'Eastern Promises' (http://www.cinematical.com/2009/03/30/david-cronenberg-planning-a-sequel-to-eastern-promises/)

Sequels are rarely good news -- but this one is. MTV News caught up with David Cronenberg, who revealed he was moving forward with a sequel to Eastern Promises.

"We are going to have a meeting very soon between me, Steve Knight and Paul Webster to discuss what the script would be," Cronenberg said. "I have some very strong ideas about what I would like to see, but I would like to hear what they have to say as well. And then after that, if all goes well, Steve goes away and writes a great script. If we all like it, we make it." If they make it, Viggo Mortensen will return.

I thought the ending of the first film was really dumb. They totally played it safe. Don't need a sequal, didn't need the last 15 minutes of the first one.

I say we just put Videodrome back in the theaters.
