I hope that's a joke. Mark Wahlberg has one face. It's that stupid "I can't believe you just said that" face. I'm bored with you Marky Mark.

I loved this movie when I saw it earlier this year when it was called "Taken"

Sorry felix. I didn't see that you had that joke first. Oh well, maybe in this version he'll finally make good on his promise to that chicken from SNL and work with it.

It's a remake of TAKEN. Since Hollywood didn't produce the film, Europa financed and shot it, the studio system merely picked it up since they liked it...they've decided to take a script that's been around the block several times, call it original and make it.

retarded. get a fresh idea. wait, that was already suggested by a French person.

This is the real thing, I mean this could be huge! All right, well, think about it. Say hi to your mother for me, alright? Now I'm gonna talk to a goat.
