The Hangover Part II

[Dukefrukem]

This is beginning to shoot. And remember the Tyson cameo from the first one?

Well it's leaked all over the internet what they plan on doing in the 2nd one. Click to find out.

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.

As much as Mel Gibson playing himself, in a context that implicitly equates him with Mike "Lady-raping, Ear-biting, Child-eating, Face-tatooing, Phil Collins-lovin'" Tyson, sounds awesome, and as much as I enjoyed the first movie, I can't imagine what the point is, except "Oh, this made a ton of money so let's do a sequel."

Yeah, but haven't we all had enough of the "Mel's gone crazy" joke?

Maybe, but he deserves it. His movies suck.

I suppose that's pretty much in line with the immature mentality of the filmmakers. I liked the original, but for little reason other than Zach Galifinakis or Ken Jeong (it's technically awful filmmaking).

I was actually kind of surprised at how much ensemble staging there was in the first film. The director, whatever his name is, isn't William Wyler or anything, but the direction seemed to me in keeping with everything else in the film in that it was better than it needed to be.

Nah, it's bland commercial Hollywood comedy filmmaking. Everything from the camera work to the quick cutting, from the lame sense of culture to the annoyingly overused pop songs. Did they manage to stick that "Waking Up in Vegas" track somewhere in there? I can't recall.

No, but it did have a wedding singer doing "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent, which was awesome.

I'm talking about the non-diegetic music.

[MadMan]

Well damnit I liked the first movie, and I thought it was funny. However I'm rather curious to see what they do for a sequel.

[lovejuice]

shooting in Bangkok! woo hoo! and mel as a tattoo artist sounds...i don't know.

[number8]

I like Mel Gibson as a comedy actor.

[Grouchy]

I like Mel Gibson as a comedy actor.

I like Mel Gibson both as an actor and as a director. And yes, he's good at comedy.

[Boner M]

Haha.

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have confirmed that Mel Gibson will not be appearing in "The Hangover 2."

Director Todd Phillips said in a statement: "I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov and his team. But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”

Gibson was expected to make a cameo in Warner Bros.' sequel but actor Zach Galifianakis and others involved in the project were reportedly furious with the idea.

[Dukefrukem]

Good way to do it. Call out Galifianakis.

[Boner M]

Good way to do it. Call out Galifianakis.

He was actually vocal about not wanting Gibson on board.

[megladon8]

That's weird. I'd like to know Galifianakis' reasons for being so passionately against Gibson being in the movie.

[Winston*]

Eh. I listen to that podcast, he was pretty evasive about it.

[Spinal]

That's weird. I'd like to know Galifianakis' reasons for being so passionately against Gibson being in the movie.

Isn't it obvious?

[DavidSeven]

Call out? I'd want to be credited for keeping Mel out. Galifianakis gets points in my book.

[MacGuffin]

Isn't it obvious?

Yeah, I hate how Gibson fans tiptoe around the fact that he's a total shithead.

[Morris Schæffer]

Isn't it obvious?

You're really Zach?

[Spinal]

What interests me about this is how the story of Gibson's cameo was floated out there in the media three days before it was announced that the scene had been cut. It feels like they were trying to get a sense of public sentiment before making a decision about whether to include it or not.
