FS #242: Notorious / Look Back in Anger / Top 5 Most Anticipated 2009 Movies

Jan. 23: "When we say Film, you say Spotting!" This week Matty "Big Fiddy" Ballgame and Adam "White Shadow" Kempenaar pile forty of their closest friends and groupies into the studio and lay down some hot, fresh cinematic critiques. They'll rock the mike with a review of "Notorious," the new biopic depicting the rise and fall of rapper Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace starring Angela Bassett, Derek Luke and newcomer Jamal Woolard in the lead role. Then the lads kick it old school and struggle to be heard over the ranting and ravings of one Richard Burton in their discussion of "Look Back in Anger," the first entry in Filmspotting's Angry Young Men Marathon. For an encore, the pusillanimous duo lay out their Most Anticipated Movies of 2009. Word.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre and music by Sunny Levine.

As your number one pick for most anticipated movie of 2009 Inglorious Bastards, I find it a little annoying that virtually no one has mentioned this film is a remake.

jckinnick:

It's not strictly a remake, rather Tarantino has taken the title from the 70s film and built a new (pastiche) premise for his film, and also fudged the spelling a bit. (I believe Tarantino's title is Inglourius Basterds.)

Though many of his films are pretty much unofficial remakes (Kill Bill=The Bride Wore Black), this one seems to merely steal the war aspect and the title of the previous film.
