McTiernan participó, en efecto, en la décimo cuarta edición del Festival de Cine Fantástico Europeo de Murcia. José Egea nos cuenta detalles de cómo se gestó la película ´La Caza de Octubre Rojo´ y la vincula a las experiencias de la infancia del propio McTiernan. Se relatan curiosidades sobre el protagonista, Sean Connery, y anécdotas de cómo intentaron recrear el set de un submarino ficticio que resultó ser mucho más parecido de lo que creían a uno real. Se hace hincapié en las características de McTiernan como cineasta.

Esta semana há histórias do hip hop, cinema novo (mas não só) no streaming, pop indie madura, a moda de Bella Freud, outra vez Charles Manson e uma revista que vale sempre a pena ler.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We make a case for Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2 (1990) as the platonic ideal of a blockbuster sequel - a bigger, dumber version of the original with a great supporting cast which delivers on the formula and also serves as a better “Christmas movie” than the first one to boot. We itemize our issues with McTiernan's return to the franchise with Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and trash the final two films in the series, Len Wiseman's Live Free or Die Hard (2007) and John Moore's rock-bottom final entry, 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard, inexplicably set in Russia.

How do we become the change we need to see in the world?  What are the actual, practical steps to grounding, connecting and resonating with the world? We're on the brink of cataclysmic change.  Knowing this, we have choices: we can either fold into despair, terror, rage…whatever rises up in us as we watch the whole biosphere hurtle towards irrevocable tipping points. Or we can become the change we need to see in the world: each of us.  This is a cliché by now, but that doesn't stop it being true.  Here are others: we are the people we have been waiting for and if not us, now then who and when?  We've been saying these for a long time and if you're listening to this podcast, then you're already on board, at least intellectually.   You know there is no going back, that ideology cannot win out over biophysical reality and avoiding ecosystem collapse doesn't just mean moving to regenerative farming or buying second hand clothes or even changing all the narratives of all the world's media systems - good though each of these things would be. But there's been a gap between what we know and how we behave, between where our better selves might push us and the behaviours that are locked into the core of our being, our firmware, if you like. But now - this minute now - we're hitting the buffers where the old paradigm is so obviously not fit for purpose that we need something new. The core questions are what? And how? And this is where we're going with the podcast just now - After Dr John Izzo of the Elders Action Network reminded us of our purpose on the earth, and Andrea Hiott of Waymaking helped us embrace paradox - now we're talking to someone who can help guide us into the embodied reality of a different way of being.  Dan McTiernan is a certified Transpersonal Psychology Coach, embodied meditation teacher and breathwork instructor. With is wife Johanna, he's the co-founder of embodied coaching organisation, Earthbound. He hosts the Being Earthbound podcast which is absolutely on my must-listen list, as is the Substack blog from which it arises. He's a facilitator on Alef Trust's Nurturing the Fields of Change programme and is the project leader for the Embodied Permaculture Project - an international 2-year action research project exploring the impacts of holistic wellbeing on outer ecological change work. The first 9 weeks of this programme are about to be released as a self-study course - and by the time this podcast ends, you will want to join up with that - I'll put a link in the show notes as soon as I have one - hopefully before this goes live.  He is currently working with Alef Trust and the A Team Foundation to deliver an innovative project supporting farmers and growers in the UK with a programme of embodied wellbeing known as Calmer Farmer which will be launched in January 2025.As you'll hear, Dan is working at the leading edge of the change we need to embody. He has straightforward practices that any of us can do to help us with grounding, attunement, opening and integration so that we can be the nodes in the web of life.  This is key people: we need to stop trying to think our way out of this with our head minds. It doesn't work. It's not going to work.  We need to come into our physical bodies, find that truly calming place of peace - and then find connections we can trust with the wider web.  This is what we're here for.  And Dan has routes to get there.  For more information about this coaching approach, to book a 1-1 appointment or to find out more about Earthbound's courses and practice group: www.earthbound.fiFor more information about Calmer Farmer: www.calmerfarmer.orgTo read more about Dan's work and to listen to the Being Earthbound podcast: www.beingearthbound.substack.comThe Embodied Permaculture Course is here https://earthbound.fi/embodied-permaculture-course

"Once again we play out Dangerous game" as Dave takes 1990's The Hunt For Red October off the shelf. Phil had never seen this movie and enjoyed going back to the first Jack Ryan movie to see how the foundation that Alec Baldwin created changed throughout the series. Sen Connery delivers a great performance and Mctiernan continues his run of great films. Phil is surprised by how much he enjoyed this movie. Dave tried to explain why we are watching the first Jack Ryan movie last and delivers his Jack Ryan ranking. He confesses that this isn't a go-to movie for him but is a happy addition to his shelf. 

Yippee-Ki-Yay, M*#^%$F@!^!#: John McTiernan's Die Hard  This week a 1980s Action Classic . . . John McTiernan's Die Hard (1988). A huge gamble for 20th Century Fox in the late 1980s, Die Hard remains the standard for "everyman" action films. Before the character would become a superhero, impervious to any and all pain, John McClane was a New York cop, visiting Los Angeles, and struggling to keep his ego, anger, and jealousy in check in a Christmas Eve attempt to win back his estranged wife. We all know the story . . . Terrorists (?) take over Nakatomi Plaza and all that stands between their nefarious plans, freedom and (spoiler alert) $650 million is John McClane. What could have been an obvious and forgettable action film chooses to go against the grain and - thus - creates the archetype for the "everyman" hero. There are moments throughout McTiernan's film that would set the template and move away from the indestructible and introduce a relatable and vulnerable hero.  With a great supporting cast including: Bonnie Bedelia (Holly Gennaro McClane), Reginald VelJohnson (Sgt. Al Powell), Alexander Godunov (Karl), William Atherton (Thornburg), and in a star-making turn, Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. This is a great action relic and one that we were thrilled to re-visit. Take a listen and remember a great time. Thanks for the continued love and support.

Our McTiernan series concludes with 2003's BASIC - a film that Griffin thinks should instead be titled “COMPLICATED” - get it? Because there are so many plot twists?? The great BenDavid Grabinski joins us to chat about John Travolta's run of big, skeezy characters post-FACE/OFF, McTiernan's ultimate Achilles heel (getting too confident in his ability to fix impossible movies), the screenwriting career of studio wunderkind James Vanderbilt, and the truly terrible acting of Giovanni Ribisi. Plus, the return of Journalist Eddie Brock, our pitches for different versions of CHANGING LANES (which they should remake every five years), and our final McT filmography rankings.

Embarquez dans la folle aventure d'Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan en terre viking ce mois-ci! On vous parle du 13eme Guerrier de John McTiernan. Sorti en 1999, Le 13e Guerrier est l'une des dernières propositions médiévales et épiques avant le raz-de-marée du Seigneur des Anneaux peu de temps après. Adapté d'un roman de Michael Crichton, le film va connaitre une production compliquée, avec notamment des divergences entre McTiernan et Crichton, également producteur du film. Il en résultera un film quelque peu amputé, mal promu, qui connaitra un échec au box-office et très peu de critiques positives. Le 13e guerrier n'en est pas moins un film riche et complet qui démontre encore la puissance de l'artisanat simple et profond de McTiernan, alliant économie dans la narration, caractérisation et évolution des personnages, questions de points de vues... Pour cette épopée, nous sommes heureux aujourd'hui d'accueillir les estimés Rafik Djoumi et Olivier Desbrosses, journalistes cinéma de longue date. Ils animent tous les deux aujourd'hui le podcast Total Trax, consacré à la musique de films, aux cotés de David Oghia. Qui de mieux qu'eux pour nous raconter la réception puis l'impact du 13eme Guerrier à sa sortie? Nous évoluerons ensuite comme d'habitude sur John McTiernan de manière plus générale, en évoquant notamment sa triste fin de carrière. La musique de Jerry Goldsmith est bien évidemment abordée également! Et pour finir, Total Trax n'a pas échappé à l'appel du Bacridleyscott! Excellente écoute! PS: En dehors de Total trax, Rafik Djoumi est connu pour ses nombreux travaux au sein de Capture Mag, Arrêt sur images, Mad Movies ou encore l'émission Bits sur Arte. Olivier Desbrosses, lui, est spécialisé dans la musique de films. Il a fondé le site Underscores qui y est consacré, et est également programmateur de la webradio La Grande Evasion.   00:00:00 Générique 00:05:00 Portrait chinois de Total trax 00:18:50 Le 13eme Guerrier, John McTiernan, 1999 01:36:18 Le Bacridleyscott

John McTiernan back with the Die Hard franchise after the spectacular flop of Last Action Hero. Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson back together after Pulp Fiction. Die Hard with a Vengeance is definitely part of the “we are so back” canon.

“He's one of the worst to ever do it, folks…” - Steve on Chris Klein On this week's episode, we're chatting about the terrible, hatchet job remake, Rollerball! Why do studios put so much trust in dumbass test screenings? Why did McTiernan think getting all the social commentary out of this remake was a smart idea? Why were they banking so hard on the charm of… ECW's Paul Heyman? How many re-shoots does it take to sink a movie? And does this movie have one of the worst soundtracks of all time? PLUS: Orson Welles weighs in on the use of… NIGHT. VISION.  Rollerball stars Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn, Naveen Andrews, Oleg Taktarov, Andrew Bryniarski, and Paul Heyman as English Sports Announcer; directed by John McTiernan.

Thirty-six floors. Thirteen (fake) terrorists. One perfect action movie. Kevin Smith - who was in a Die Hard movie AND directed Alan Rickman in DOGMA -  joins us again for a supersized episode on McTiernan's signature film. We're getting into Bruce's wine cooler commercials. We reveal the surprising Shakespeare play that influenced McTiernan's direction of this story. We're nerding out about the spatial and organizational PERFECTION that makes it such a classic.

"Die Hard with a Vengeance" (1995), directed by John McTiernan, was the third installment in the iconic "Die Hard" franchise. The film marked Bruce Willis's return as NYPD detective John McClane, and this time he's teamed up with Samuel L. Jackson's character, Zeus Carver, to thwart a series of terrorist attacks in New York City. The production faced various challenges, including living up to the high expectations set by the successful first two films. McTiernan and the creative team had to deliver a fresh and compelling story while maintaining the trademark intensity and wit that defined the franchise. The film's production involved extensive location shooting in New York City, showcasing iconic landmarks and adding an authentic urban backdrop to the action sequences. The chemistry between Willis and Jackson, the dynamic direction by McTiernan, and the screenplay's clever blend of suspense and humor contributed to the film's success. "Die Hard with a Vengeance" not only continued the franchise's tradition of delivering thrilling action but also expanded the scope and stakes of the series, solidifying its status as a standout entry in the action genre.

“There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all going to die.”After the huge success of Rocky IV in 1985, screenwriters Jim and John Thomas saw an opportunity for another Rocky film where he'd have to fight an alien, calling it "Rocky vs Predator." They developed the idea into a script titled "Hunter" about a group of alien hunters looking for the most dangerous prey. Unable to get interest, they slipped it under producer Michael Levy's door who loved it. Levy brought it to producer Joel Silver who also loved it. Silver brought in action star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who suggested changing it from one man against the creature to a team for more dynamics. Director John McTiernan was hired for his first studio film. With a budget under $20 million and filming in the jungles of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Predator began production.Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1988 Academy Awards Best Visual Effects Nominees series with a conversation about Predator.Here's a hint at what we talk about:We discuss the excellent creature design and visual effects that still hold up today in making the cloaked Predator feel dangerous and threatening. The story structure shifts cleverly from a military rescue mission to sci-fi horror when the alien arrives. We admire the directing style of McTiernan in generating tension and fear. Character dynamics are touched on, along with some problematic elements.Here are a few other points in our discussion: Memorable one-liners and quips from Schwarzenegger Contrast of the special forces team against the advanced alien Discussion of problematic Indigenous American and female character tropes Always hoping for more from Jesse “The Body” Ventura's character Predator succeeds at being an enthralling, action-packed cinema ride.

There's so much to delve into, from the director constantly apologizing to what happens when Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Hamlet to everyone's favorite character: cartoon cat police officer Whiskers, and so much more.Ryan's Recommendations: “The Lady Eve” (1941), “Sullivan's Travels” (1941), and “The Palm Beach Story” (1942)For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcastTheme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).

Rollerball (2002) is one of the worst movies any of us have ever seen; and that is saying something. Directed by John McTiernan—who always seems to appear on our pod, despite directing some of our favorite films—Rollerball was a remake of a 1975 film starring James Caan. The 2002 version retains none of what made that movie work. It's social criticisms are half-baked, the actual Rollerball scenes are nauseating, and its lead, Chris Klein, makes wood appear emotive by comparison. Shot, reshot, and shot again, Rollerball is an absolute mess onscreen. Off-screen, the situation was even worse. McTiernan, who was in a bitter battle over the course of the film, illegally wiretapped the movie's producer—an action that would land him in prison years later. Thus, Rollerball's 3% on Rotten Tomatoes should not come as a shock, nor should its meager box office gross of $25.9 million (its budget was $70 million). One didn't require night vision to see that this project was set to crash and burn. Now, sit back, pound as many Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force IPAs from New Belgium as your stomach will allow, and watch out for the motorcycles!

Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Predator, the first (and best) Jack Ryan film, The Hunt for Red October, and Last Action Hero, which a lot of people hate but is a cult classic around these parts.His career continued going strong in the nineties, with Die Hard With A Vengeance and The Thomas Crown Affair. Still, bad experiences of The 13th Warrior and Rollerball led to a cooling period. Even worse, he wound up in jail due to a long, convoluted story which we dig into here. So will McTiernan ever make a comeback? Join us on WTF Happened to John McTiernan, written by Taylor James Johnson & Brad Hamerly, and narrated, produced and edited by Taylor James Johnson.

This one hits close to home... Host, Comedian and Submariner Steve Mazan discusses "The Hunt for Red October" with fellow comic Ronnie Bullard. Is this McTiernan's best? Was Baldwin the best Jack Ryan? How accurate to sub life is this? How many great actors are in this? Was that language switch clever?!

This week future bloodsports season rolls on with John McTiernan's remake of Rollerball, a film that isn't half as interesting as the director's own travails. Wiretaps, bankruptcy and jail - Mctiernan's life story has them all, and this film has...well, none of that and not much else. Still, we discuss the terrible cast, the possibility this is the least cool film of all time, the strangest night vision sequence in cinema history, and maybe, just maybe, it isn't even sci-fi after all.... Oh, we also spend a lot of time discussing Michael Flatley's Blackbird. Next week, this ridiculous collection of films finally reaches an end with Death Race, the Jason Statham one. Get in touch!

SUBSCRIBE NOW for early access and exclusive bonus episodes at WWW.PATREON.COM/ROTTENREWIND Between the one-two punch of "Predator" and "Die Hard" and going to federal prison for illegal wiretapping, vulgar auteurist John McTiernan satirized the genre he helped redefine with Hollywood's biggest star and screenwriter. The result? According to McTiernan, himself: “Last Action Hero was the worst time I've ever had in this business.” Actor Chad Alligood joins us on the podcast again to unbox the 90s satire, "Last Action Hero" while waxing nostalgic about his birthday party seeing Joe Dante's takedown of American imperialism, "Small Soldiers." Why did "Last Action Hero" fail to connect with critics and audiences? Why did the studio insist on releasing the film in the wake of "Jurassic Park" even though they knew the film needed more work? Is Arnold Schwarzenegger capable of satirizing his own image? Does the main teen actor belong in the Rotten vault of Cummy Actors™? How did critics like Roger Ebert fail to understand the targets of Joe Dante's satire in "Small Soldiers?" Will anyone ever play a better shithead neighbor than Phil Hartman did in the 90s? Find out right here on the hottest podcast on the planet.

Episode 314: The Crew's got no time to bleed, but they do have time to watch John McTiernan's Predator. This 80's hit gives the audience the over the top action before introducing the suspense as an alien picks off a group of soldiers one by one. McTiernan's direction is top notch with a quick pace. Stan Winston's makeup effects for the titular monster still holds up today. The Crew discusses… If you like our music intro, head over to Soundcloud and hear more amazing music from aquariusweapon.

Rarely does someone create a television show that is relevant, entertaining, and dripping with nostalgia from four decades earlier. The Duffer brothers have managed to wake John Hughes from the dead, mix him with Spielberg, throw a dash of McTiernan in there, and serve us four seasons of the single best tv series out there! So of course when we see perfection our first instinct…recast it! Today on Buzzn The tower, we'll take our favorite characters from our favorite show, Stranger Things, an and recast them with actors and actresses from the 1980s. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the number 1 to my number 11, Max Sanders. And with that...

And one more thing about Shane Black...we watched his first acting role in the all-time classic Predator (1987). While he didn't steal the show, he was surrounded by excellent filmmaking, huge action stars, and exciting premise. One that he would revisit in his return to the Predator-verse with The Predator (2018). Not a good as the original but some thought it had moments.

This is the first episode of Unclear and Present Danger, a new podcast by Jamelle Bouie of the New York Times and John Ganz, a freelance journalist writing a book on American politics in the 1990s. It is a podcast about the political thrillers of that decade, and what they said — or did not say — about the United States in the last years and immediate aftermath of the Cold War. We're going to cover a wide range of movies, but we thought we would begin with a paradigmatic example of the genre, John McTiernan's The Hunt for Red October, based on the best-selling Tom Clancy novel.A quick correction: In the episode, Jamelle said that McTiernan went to jail for tax evasion. This was incorrect. He actually went to prison for lying to the FBI.
