"Mark WahlTURD & the Yucky Bunch" rolls along into 2003, when a much-in-need-of-a-comeback Mark Wahlberg decided to hop on the then popular trend of remaking classic '60s heist movies, with a modern update of the beloved Michael Caine crime caper The Italian Job. Here, Wahlberg and a crew of fellow eccentric thieves (a "funky bunch," if you will) seek to pull off a heist as revenge against a former compatriot who has done them wrong. The movie's action scenes undeniably started a Mini Cooper popularity boom, but what about the rest of the movie? Is it as sexy as The Thomas Crown Affair? Is it as cool as Ocean's Eleven? Why did one of its stars hate being in it? And, most importantly for our theme, did it reignite Wahlberg's flailing movie star career? We discuss all this, and more!

„I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.“, sagte Donald Trump am 24. Januar 2016. Daran musste ich denken, als ich VENI VIDI VICI gesehen habe. Hier ist es der superreiche, österreichische Investor Amon Maynard, der den Thrill als Jäger genießt – nur dass er keine Hirsche schießt, sondern Menschen, völlig zufällig, Radfahrer, Jogger, Pärchen beim romantischen Waldspaziergang. Daniel Hoesl und Julia Niemann erzählen diese Satire, die nur ein Jagdgewehr von der Wirklichkeit entfernt ist, in einer durchgehend trockenen, schwarzhumorigen Atmosphäre. Die Morde erscheinen so normal wie das Polospiel der Tochter (das mich an THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR erinnert hat), so normal wie sein Familiensinn und seine Verhandlungen mit der Regierung über eine neue Fabrik. Ein Aufbegehren erscheint naiv und sinnlos. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Kino diskutiere ich mit Johanna über die Absicht des sehenswerten Films, über die Unangreifbarkeit der Superreichen und über die sichtbaren Zeichen des Reichtums.

Right smack in the middle of his run of playing James Bond in four consecutive movies, Pierce Brosnan took a SLIGHT detour in this remake of a sorta-classic from 1968, the romantic thriller of the same name starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. This is a somewhat modernized remake as we follow the exploits of a billionaire playboy named Thomas Crown (Brosnan) who also moonlights as an art thief....and the crafty art bounty hunter who's on his tail (in more ways than one) Catherine Banning played by Rene Russo. And wouldn't you know it...these two take a liking for each other. Not only that but could THIS be the best Bond-life performance ever given by Brosnan, even better than when he actually played bond? Inquiring minds want to know in this breezy romantic caper directed by John McTiernan. Yes the SAME McTiernan who had directed action classics such as Predator and Die Hard more than a decade prior....who knew that he also had a romantic streak? :) Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In this episode of the TILT Parenting Podcast, I'm excited to share with you a conversation I recently had with filmmaker Tom Ropelewski.

This week, we review the 1999 romantic heist film, "The Thomas Crown Affair." - Were the Geeks on the same page with this movie, or was this another contentious review? - What did the Geeks think about the heist aspect of the money? Was it still enough of a heist movie with certain elements missing or downplayed and the movie also being half romantic drama? - How "heisty" is this remake compared to it's original as well as other movies like the "Ocean's" trilogy, "The Italian Job," and "Great Muppet Caper"? Someone on the internet created a spreadsheet on the topic, and Todd had numbers. - Does a viewer need to adjust moral expectations when watching heist movies, considering the protagonists are thieves? - Which plot holes do the Geeks recognize in the movie? Do they get in the way of enjoying it? - This movie is from 1999. Why does one Geek say that post-9/11 thinking affects our judgment of whether certain aspects of the movie make sense today? - Was Thomas Crown a likable protagonist despite being an ultra-privileged billionaire who's committing a crime & trying to get away with it, just for fun? - What did the guys think about the Katherine Banning character, including her intelligence, skills, complicated motivations, sexual allure, and being played by an actress in her 40s instead of the more typical 20s or 30s? - Does Katherine go too far using her sexuality to investigate Thomas Crown, and is Michael out of line in his confrontation toward her about it? - How fitting did the Geeks think the music was for the movies? - And, what superhero movie was rolled to be reviewed sometime in the (hopefully) near future (when Andruw can join us again, because this pick is his)? Listen now for the answers to these and other artsy fartsy questions as we investigate..."The Thomas Crown Affair."

The 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair presents Pierce Brosnan as the slick, titular character indulging in a heist dripping in male fantasy. John McTiernan directs a film, in the downswing of his career, that could have been much more if it focused principally on the cat and mouse game between Brosnan and Renee Russo. The film is beautifully shot and revels in the splendid aesthetics of New York, the art world, and even Brosnan's buttocks. Watching this movie left our hosts questioning what could have been with a better script writer, supporting cast, and a more ambitious director.
Joe & Adam dive into the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, directed by John McTiernan of Die Hard fame. Conversation includes: who was Brosnan pre-James Bond? Does the sauce in this film live up to today's standards? Plus more.

Here's an underrated romance-ish film for Valentine's Day. The rare remake that succeeded! The Thomas Crown Affair is in some ways the best James Bond movie that Pierce Brosnan was never in. He had some serious chemistry with Rene Russo. It ended up being John McTiernan's final quality contribution to cinema. Some traditionalists will tell you it's unworthy of the Thomas Crown name. Don't listen to them.

Getting you caught up on the latest and greatest (and sometimes not-so-great) in blu-rays, Peter Sobczynski and Erik Childress run the gamut this week. They include Billy Wilder doing Agatha Christie and George Segal doing Michael Crichton. A film from the late Norman Jewison and a reimagining of the late Adrienne Shelley's final film. Plus in maybe the biggest swing, going over arguably Robert Altman's finest film and then diving into the career of Uwe Boll. 0:00 - Intro 1:15 – Criterion (McCabe and Mrs Miller) 8:55 – Kino (The Big Country, Witness for the Prosecution, The Thomas Crown Affair, Burnt Offerings) 29:10 - Massacre Video (Bloodrayne 4K) 41:12 – Shout Factory (Funeral Home, The Terminal Man) 47:29 – Decal (Waitress: The Musical) 54:18 – New Blu-ray Announcements 56:56 - Outro
This week we talk about THE TASTE OF THINGS (2:05), which features many of Dave's loves: Juliette Binoche, French food, romance, and tobacco (Megan liked it, too). This deliberate romantic drama, about a gourmand (Benoît Magimel) and his gifted cook (Binoche), is directed by Trân Anh Hùng. It's beautifully photographed, meticulously staged, and it also is not for everyone. Then all three of us watched SCRAMBLED (18:13), a comedic drama written and directed by Leah McKendrick, who stars as Nelly, a 34-year-old woman who freezes her eggs while also taking stock of her life. This one had a range of reactions from the gang. And over on Patreon, we cover the 1968 Norman Jewison-directed THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. If you're not a member, you may become on for $5 a month. There's a bonus episode each week (about 400-ish now), and we post monthly polls about which movies to watch. Please check it out!
Strap in for a rollercoaster of topics as we meander from the redemptive arc of a car thief turned pastor to the silver screen's stylized thievery. Delight in our musings on the plausibility of concealing masterpieces in folding briefcases and the unexpected charm of an aging cast in "The Thomas Crown Affair." Then, we swap heist tales for heart-to-hearts on marriage age trends, contrasting heartland values with the national average. Whether you're daydreaming about the life you could've led or reflecting on your own romantic timeline, our chat is the perfect companion for your contemplative moments.Buckle up for our final descent into the depths of adventure and anxiety in the underground. Brad and I recount personal tales from Vietnam's vast caverns to the claustrophobic jitters that can strike even the most seasoned explorers. We compare the grandeur of nature's subterranean wonders to the pressure-cooker feel of a crowded concert—providing a cautionary chuckle about the perils of both. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or a firm advocate for personal space, we've got anecdotes that will resonate, entertain, and maybe even inspire a bit of self-reflection. Join us for this episode, where the unexpected is the norm, and laughter is the best medicine.
If you want to sing out! Sing out! Kael Your Idols is pleased to bring you another Very Special Episode as we turn our attention and our empathy towards the career of Hal Ashby. The hosts are joined by film person Michael J. Dougherty to trace the tragicomic trajectory of this titan of 70s cinema; starting with Ashby's work as an acclaimed editor and terminating with the studio shutting him out of his final film's editing room. For the purpose of this episode we mainly concern ourselves with The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Coming Home (1978), and 8 Million Ways to Die (1986), but the conversation touches on almost all of his notable projects. Topics include: allergies to preciousness, predictions about the writers strike (this was recorded last summer), and Greta Gerwig.

Ordinarily, when we see a film that's a remake of a previous movie, we tend to say that the original was better. But in this second of two episodes, we discuss a pair of films in which the remake was the superior version, at least in our humble opinions. Here in Part One, we're looking at The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), directed by John McTiernan and starring Pierce Brosnan and René Russo. There are several differences between the two, but most noticeable is the chemistry between the two leads. In Part Two, we'll be reviewing the 2001 version of Ocean's Eleven. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support
A movie obsession, a deathbed confession, and a 50-year-old transgression. Ted Conrad robbed a bank in 1969 and was never caught, a crime inspired by the original "The Thomas Crown Affair" film. Thomas Randele claimed to be Ted just months before his death. Was Tom really Ted? Was he really a master criminal? Or maybe the luckiest man alive?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4106013/advertisement
The third annual "Failure to Franchise Presents Trev and Chris-Mas" wraps up (see what I did there?) with a look at 1999's The Thomas Crown Affair, a remake of the 1968 classic heist movie starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. This time around, the titular main character is played by Pierce Brosnan, taking a break from his then current role as James Bond (heard of it?), to try to add another blockbuster franchise under his belt. But despite bringing Rene Russo and Denis Leary along for the ride, getting acclaimed action director John McTiernan to helm the project, and the movie being a box-office success, Brosnan's hopes for a new franchise were still left unrealized. So what happened? Join us as we close out 2023 by discussing that very question, as well as our own thoughts on the film.

The summer of 1968 one of the most iconic heist movies ever made came out. The Thomas Crown Affair starred Steve McQueen as a clever businessman who pulls off an elaborate robbery. Ted Conrad, a kid from Cleveland, admired this film so much he walked out of Society National Bank with hundreds of thousands of dollars in a paper bag. Some say he stole the money for the same reasons Crown did: to see if he could get away with it. But Ashley wonders, what was his real motive?

Ashley's Dad was her favorite person in the world. He drove fast cars and sold them for a living. He was a scratch golfer and the love of her Mum's life. Ashley thought she knew him better than anyone. But at 38, she found out he wasn't who he said he was. Inspired by his favorite movie the Thomas Crown Affair, he had pulled off a robbery in Cleveland then disappeared. It turns out he evaded the authorities for half a century, living in their sleepy Massachusetts town. His secret upended his family's life, but another family's too. Because from the moment this 20-year-old vault teller escaped with $215,000 in 1969, Deputy U.S. Marshal John Elliott made it his life's mission to bring him to justice. After he retired, his son even took up his mantle. For this six episode podcast, host Jonathan Hirsch teams up with Ashley Randele to unravel the mystery of how her Dad got away with it, and ultimately, why he left behind everyone and everything to start over.
