Getting absolutely destroyed by imdb user reviews, people walking out of the cinema after 20 minutes. I appreciate the FREE upload! The biggest risk here is 800mb of hd space :D |
And here's me thinking - this could be funny. But then of course, humour is not for everyone. |
If only scientists could think of some way to reclaim that hard disk space...... |
@ Guest-2046 But if you wanted it back you would have to pay an engineer a couple of hundred bucks to recover that 800 mb of hd space |
@ Guest-1229 Once it is gone - it is gone There is no way back |
Thank you to the uploader - this brings me way back to my youth. Bob Ross was a Sergent in the US Air Force, stationed in Alaska. He started painting while in the USAF and when he was making more money from painting than from the AF he left the AF and created his company which eventually lead to " The Joy of Painting" art show he had for 11 years. His company was worth more than 15 million when he died in 1995 and that $15 million was quite sum back then. His paintings regularly sell for over $10K each. The painting she did before he had his T.V. show regularly sell for much more. Art is good/bad only in regard to the eye of the beholder so whatever you say here about his art work means nothing when regularly sold his paintings for $5-30K each. He was laughing at you all the way to the bank. He spoke the way he did after leaving the Air Force because he said, "He as tired of raising his voice all the time, yelling at people (in the AF) and would only speak in a calm. low voice for the rest of his life after he left the AF. " He was true to his word until his death. |
Is this the same Bob Ross who used to enjoy a spliff before filming his show |
no but the family's pissed enough to have filed a law suit for using his likeness ,,, |
Are you sure? Can someone file a lawsuit over a perm? 'Cause that's just about the only likeness. |
not even a lil clue about that one ed sheeran not even close but they did it anyhoo if theres a buck to be made well ... |
Can't find anything about a lawsuit against "Painter", though. |
This movie has nothing to do with Bob Ross What gave ya all that idea 'Carl Turgle' is a completely made up character Like it says at the end of the movie 'any similarities to persons living or dead is purely coincidental |
@ Guest-3090 And besides Owen Wilson has a natural perm anyway and towards the end of the movie he even has it trimmed Good luck with a law suit on this one |
The dude Owen Wilson plays in this movie lk more like Ed Sheeran than Bob Ross ever did Why isn't Ed Sheeran filing a law suit over this |
So the family and institution of Bob Ross said no to a biopic, so they did this??? What a disgrace to his likeness. |
Owen wilson had an ugly suicide attempt awhile back. And producers step up to use him to make a Bob Ross movie. Its pretty clear why Bob Ross decendants would refuse permission. So producers have to change the name but still keep the fro. They get their movie and save on royalties too. But I dont see the profit in a guy famous for making cheap paintings. His thing was showing how anybody can paint pictures. I wonder if Owen Wilson learned how to paint a Bob Ross picture. But then again, you cant sell them for anything because anybody can paint the Bob Ross way. That was his point. From the review scores, it sounds like a Banksy movie would have been more entertaining. |
I was hoping this was going to be a Bob Ross life story but was given this disappointment. |
Absolutely sucked, unlikely villain - horrible choicer of a story, besides ive never really been an owen wilson fan |
If anything, Owen looks like Art Garfunkel in this movie. I think Garfunkel should sue Owen for misrepresenting him as a painter. |
We thought this was pretty funny in a wry watching paint dry sort of way |
I actually liked the film and had a couple of good laughs, but I cannot recommend it to anyone for two reasons: 1) Some might find it terribly boring, 2) Others are not okay with the whole Bob Ross resemblance and won't get over it, and I understand it. |
Bob Ross already left nothing to his family. Now his kids have to deal with this movie with no permission and no royalties either. |
correct and incorrect, the kowalskis own the name and likeness the kids sold it to them.. however the main portion of the company is still currently controlled by the family in concert with the kowalskis. i look at it more as a money trust between them the kids cant handle it, its her baby, she does skippy with it. |
I think people are missing the fact that this is a comedy and not a biopic. Just because Owen Wilson resembles Bob Ross, doesn't mean he's portraying Bob Ross. Watch the trailer before making judgements |
Why would producers go out of their way to make the lead actor appear and act like Bob Ross, and in a PBS setting? It's very clear what their intention was. |
He made a enjoyable movie 'No Escape' in 2015 Some genuinely nail-biting scenes It is :_B )Pierce Brosnan of all people who drags the movie down Owen does a sterling job https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1781922/ |
That scene where they are throwing the kids across the roof-tops is pure heart-in-the-mouth stuff Never been so riveted |
