GRACELAND to MEMPHIS

[cameron]

I found a new movie coming out. Take a peek at who's in it.

[LianaKaralivanou]

If I'm not mistaken, I just saw Sonny West in that film! What else will this man do, anyway? Oh, another thing. I've never seen so many ugly Elvises in just one film, in my life!

[cameron]

Sonny is in the film and a Technical Advisor too.
Hard to believe he's doing a movie of this type . :mad:

This link will tell you who's in it ; producer ,Director, etc.

[Lisarose]

More than a few of us have been discussing all the extreme positive points of Elvis. Check it out on the following thread.

http://www.tcb-world.com/showthread.php?t=19350

Now then, as LianaKaralivanou has pointed out, there was noone in that clip that could hold Presley's dog Brutus' leash, let alone his cape!(n)There were 100's of better looking Elvis' in the movie 3000 Miles to Graceland. I've never seen so many men with bad wigs in one room!

And don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Bubba Ho-Tep, but with this movie, Bubba has been upgraded from the D-List to the B-List! :lmfao:

I don't intend to see this movie....just complaine about it. :P

I enjoyed Bubba Ho-Tep too. But, this thing doesn't look anything like that .
Wasn't aware it was even being made !! Don't think it's a good thing. (n)

[Diane]

No I agree, this isn't a good thing. Ugliest Elvis I've ever seen and what the heck does Sonny think he's doing portraying Elvis so badly in a film? Almost as bad as the Stanley movie. :angry:

[utmom2008]

This is the most disgusting thing I have seen in a long time!:angry: Sonny West needs his head examined...come on Sonny, tell us some more about how "you were only trying to help Elvis". Pleassseeee..(n)(n)(n)(n)

I agree. Sonny just keeps living down to my expectations of him! (n)(n)(n) Spoiled my dinner just watching that sickening clip. :blink::blink::blink:

[rickb]

I think it's time to ask
Sonny: What Happened?

[utmom2008]

I think it's time to ask

I could not agree more! Loser.....(n)(n)(n)(n):cursing::angry:

[jon_burrows]

Are they serious! I can't believe they've actually made this movie! Is this really "the movie the whole world has been waiting for"? I haven't. As for Sonny to be part of this-he should be embarrasssed. For someone who says he loved Elvis I don't think this is the correct way to show it. I'm surprised Lamar isn't in it also.
On a positive note there's a half-decent interview with Vester on the same page.

OMG...I totally agree with all of the above. (y)(y) Sonny needs to get a life...without the help of Elvis, that is. Oh, silly me, I forgot, without Elvis Sonny would be...well...nothing! :cursing:

[Burning_Love]

What the hell is it even about ? :hmm:

[Getlo]

You all need to lighten up.

It is a fantasy/comedy. That's obvious from this trailer!

It is not suggesting that this could/will really happen.

I just don't see anything funny about this movie.....or Sonny's participation in it.

Man, It's look liked a XXX Movie too me.. The way they shoot it, LOL, This have too been one bad movie about Elvis...

[poormansgold]

LOl, It's 25 years I see A porn , it's remember me of On that Trailer

[kevis]

OMg just watched the trailer and weather it's a comedy or not to me this sort of rubbish is why we Elvis fans are ridiculed and laughed at as all it does is host a lot of very bad impersanators, unlike bubba ho tep which was just plain funny and a bit silly i think this looks like the biggest pile of rubbish ever how people actually financed this is beyond me i wish just once they would make a positive movie on his life its been a long time since they did that,

kev

[SleepyJack]

Don`t want to hear,read about,see,or be told anything about this one....sick to death of this kind of thing. Yeah, Sonny....great job,well done.

I agree, Getlo. Some people take things way too seriously...and it's time that everybody let go of something that happened thirty years ago that Sonny and Red and Dave had no control over---the content of "Elvis: What Happened". Sonny is a warm and caring individual and he loved and still loves Elvis dearly.

Don't judge a man until you've walked in his shoes....

Isn't it time somebody stopped making fun of Elvis? :angry:

Sorry, I disagree.

[Tony Trout]

Sorry, I disagree.



Of course.

[Burning_Love]

Don't get me wrong: I like Sonny. But the only thing is, this is going to give other non-Elvis fans ammunition to criticise Elvis and us. Just my opinion. Maybe a postive movie, like Kevis said, would have been better.

[Sanditcb]

It is a cute science fiction movie. I just don't understand why you are all so anxious to jump on Sonny for accepting a part that was offered him. BIG SIGH - I know I am wasting my breath so I won't go further. But I feel sorry for all of you who are so judgmental and were not present in Elvis's world.

[cameron]

Of course.
Ask him why he particiipated in this ignorant movie ,if he cares about Elvis.
Oh yes, he's broke again and it's all Elvis' fault for firing him 30 years ago. :blink:

You know, I don't usually judge people. But, IMO it just seems Sonny has played this "feel sorry for me " role long enough. He just published another book, and didn't sound too sorry for anything.He's still pointing fingers and still blaming everyone else.
When everyone can "forgive" Elvis for being human....I might consider forgiving some others that were right there with him.

Don't feel sorry for us who criticise and judge as you said. Feel sorry for those who WERE present in Elvis's world and have never respected him. Oh, and make money out of his fame.

WOW....what a blockbuster cast.;);):lol:

[john carpenter]

Why are all these movies coming out about Elvis being alive? Example.. Finding Graceland, Bubba Ho-Whatever, The truth about Elvis, and now this rubbish. I like Sonny West but he just reached a new low. Come on Sonny you're better than David Stanley, it's time to prove it.

[SweetCaroline]

Sonny gives me a headache (n)(n)(n). Sonny LOVED the limelight and he has used Elvis to stay in it.... whatever it took...even if it took his "friend's" reputation.

Looks to me that Elvis is still paying Sonny's way in life.
Time to cut the cord, Sonny!.(n)(n)(n)

[Lisarose]

Sci-Fi - Bubba HoTep is a riot!! And Bruce Campbell is very easy on the eyes!
Comedy - Elvis Meets Nixon - funny, funny! Again, Rick Peters is a cutie!

These guys were not even attractive. They all had bad hairpieces, or a bad hairday or was that part of the joke? Like I said before, even all the impersonators in 3000 Miles to Graceland were very attractive, and Kurt Russell - WOW!

[Getlo]

Ask him why he particiipated in this ignorant movie ,if he cares about Elvis.
Oh yes, he's broke again and it's all Elvis' fault for firing him 30 years ago. :blink:

So, you've seen the entire movie then, and can provide a proper assessment of whether it's ignorant? Ignorant of what, exactly? You're like a lot of people out there, who condemn something based on extracts, excerpts and the like.

Like the Stanley film a while back, Protecting The King. The trailer made it look like crapola, but I refused to say anything until I had watched the whole movie (which, in this case, turned out to be the first half hour, which was all I could take).

No one here can assess this film until it is actually viewed in its entirety!

And FYI: Sonny West is far from broke; and he has never said it was all Elvis' fault. Not once.

[Getlo]

Isn't it time somebody stopped making fun of Elvis? :angry:

How do you know it makes fun of Elvis? How do you know it won't be a satire on the whole "Elvis is alive" crap, something which Sonny finds bewildering and annoying?

When Elvis Met Nixon also made fun of Elvis, but most reasonable fans liked it; it was genuinely funny and made with love.

For all you know, this might well be too.

[Getlo]

WOW....what a blockbuster cast.;);):lol:

Probably an unfair comment. Some of the best movies ever made had a cast of unknowns.

That's why Trailers are put out. To entice the viewer to watch.
I can assess the film if I like, so I did. :P

My poor son-in-law brought me Stanley's movie to watch. ;)
I was right; it was nothing but trash.

[Getlo]

LOl, It's 25 years I see A porn

Well, there is a porn star called Teagan Presley. I wonder if she's related? Hmm, it's probably not her real name anyway ... :D

(Actually, her bio says the "Presley" is a tribute to Lisa, not Elvis).

She was in a movie called Flesh Hunter 7. I got a bit lost while watching it, as I hadn't seen the first six! :lmfao:

(An old joke, but it still makes me laugh ... )

[Getlo]

That's why Trailers are put out. To entice the viewer to watch.

So movie reviewers are probably wasting their time by watching entire films then? Maybe they should just watch the trailers to make a full and frank assessment of any film? Like you have done. :rolleyes:


I can assess the film if I like, so I did.

You didn't though. You assessed the trailer.

I assessed Stanley's movie the same way; and I was right. :P

[boogie]

one word;;;;;CRAP

[rickb]

this is not going to be one of those `best movies with unknown casts'.
The preview clips are enough evidence to prove that

[jak]

The trailer isnt that promising to be sure.However as Getlo stated it's unfair to judge the entire film from it.I cant think of a dumber plot than Bubba Tep,yet that turned out to be a quite good film that has developed cult status away from Elvis' fan base.This film probably wont be near as good but I havent seen it so I cant say.Im sure the whole thing is tongue in cheek.I would venture a guess the film is a satire about the Elvis is alive subject.That certainly deserves to be ridiculed.No matter what it's about it's important to remember that Elvis Presley is not above satire or ridicule.No entertainer is or the president for that matter.Any public figure or personailty is open to it.You may not like it,but nobody has the right to prevent anyone from making something like this.Freedom of speech and expression.It's a good thing.

You're correct. It's not always the case that they're making fun of Elvis. Sonny still loves and respects Elvis to this very day (in spite of what others may think) and as Sandi (sanditcb) said earlier, it's purely a fantasy film....it's not like this would actually happen.

Obviously, I disagree .
I read Sonny's book. Sonny loves and looks out for Sonny. Period.
Sandi and I disagree . She's been sold a bill of goods too.

Some of the fans will always be impressed with the ones that say they knew Elvis. From what I've seen; very few knew Elvis .They just took what he was willing to give....and 30 years later; they're still taking.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, you're right.
I'm just expressing mine. ;)

I don't know if I would call it 'impressed', but I tend to believe that those
who were definitive around Elvis should know him best. At least better than
we do, or were you around?
The fact that Elvis has died doesn't mean his friends have died as well. They
had to live on and for some of them it sure wasn't easy. Some of them
wanted to talk about their friend Elvis and the time they spent together.
I can't see anything wrong with it.
I haven't read Sonny's book yet, but I assume if it is about incidents he
experienced with Elvis it seems probable that Sonny is also mentioned
here and there ;).

[cameron]

I'll let you read it yourself, Miss Claudy.;)
And his opinions and blame he puts on everyone but himself.

IMO, they've all had their say about Elvis. What else can he have to say?
Some have lived off Elvis all these years. It didn't stop when he died.
Others have got themselves a real job.

[Tony Trout]

I have formed the same view on Sonny.



I don't know if I would call it 'impressed', but I tend to believe that those
who were definitive around Elvis should know him best.

I agree. We weren't there...we don't know the half of what went on or what each of them went through during their time working for Elvis. They were there---none of us were and we shouldn't pass judgement on them.

It's time we give them a break.

GREAT POST! Sonny's book is a must read...unlike the "whitewashed" "Me And A Guy Named Elvis", by Jerry Schilling.

I guess some folks thought that Red and Sonny and Joe and Billy and Marty and Lamar were supposed to crawl in a hole and stay there after he died. In case some don't know, they all went back to working normal jobs (in the case of Red and Sonny and Dave and Marty it was before) after Elvis died.

I just think they should "get a job" and leave Elvis to RIP.
They've made enough monry off Elvis Presley. (n)

I totally totally agree with you Cameron. It seems a few of them...and one in particular... has made it their life's work to live off the Elvis Presley gravy train. :angry:

You're exactly right, Tina. I think there's a lot of "dislike" for the MM and/or for those who were in Elvis' life! Elvis did think of the MM as friends' and did have them around for so many years...So, why are we to "assume" the worst in them!

It's not saying much about Elvis, if they were all no good!

franny

[cameron]

I don't dislike all the MM. Just the ones that still live off him. ;);)

It would be easier to name the ones that haven't.
Charlie Hodge and Al Strada . I've not seen much from Red West,Billy Smith or Jerry Schilling either .Some just gave the rest a bad name. They'll just have to live with it.

[LORRIELOVESELVIS]

Man Oh Man ! Sonny An That Whole Gang Need To Get A Dam Life. And Im Not Sorry For Saying It!!!! They Need To Quit Riding Elvis Presley Coat Tails..................

[Getlo]

Have to disagree here, jak. To my eyes, the Bubba trailer was terrific, so I went to see it based on that. Ended up hating the film! Hated it so much, I demanded my money back ... and got it!


Elvis Presley is not above satire or ridicule.

Exactly. There is a huge difference between good-natured ribbing (or "piss-take" as we say here in Australia) and downright nastiness. From this trailer, it seems as if the movie is making fun of the "Elvis is alive" theory, and I for one think this is one subject that should be open to ridicule, as well as the fools who believe it.

[Getlo]

It would be easier to name the ones that haven't.
Charlie Hodge ... I've not seen much from ... Jerry Schilling either.

You must be joking.

Hodge spent the rest of his life living off the "gravy train" as you call it. He also wrote a book, remember (a boring, turgid, sychophantic puff piece - a perfect reflection of the man himself).

And Schilling ... ?! He's been sucking at the Presley teat for EPE for years, and is still "living off Elvis" with his work for them. He wrote another book as well, although it was nowhere near as pathetic as Hodge's.

Sonny still works regularly (in the non-Elvis world) and has not stopped since 1977. His Elvis show is a small part of his life, and most of his money comes from other interests.

I'm not joking. Maybe you could write a book to make the MM look good.
Of course, I don't think anyone really cares what they do.
You might lose money. ;)

There really is a difference. Hoped you could tell.
It's ok to "make fun of Elvis", that he went off to some other planet instead of dying ?:hmm:
Sonny was one that spoke out against all that too So, what changed his mind? Money, fame ? :doh:

[Getlo]

Maybe you could write a book to make the MM look good. Of course, I don't think anyone really cares what they do.


Most thinking, objective fans do care ... the MM and Elvis' friends are essentially the last connection we have with the man, and offer better and more accurate insights into what went on (certainly better than Cilla, Lisa, nurse Cocke, Mary his cook and the minions at EPE).


It's ok to "make fun of Elvis", that he went off to some other planet instead of dying ?:hmm:

It is not making fun of Elvis at all, from what the trailer tells us; it is making fun of the stupid idea that Elvis is still alive.


Sonny was one that spoke out against all that too So, what changed his mind? Money, fame ? :doh:

Then this adds credence to my theory. If the film takes the piss out of that theory, then Sonny would want to be a part of it. The Elvis is alive theories deserve to be ripped apart and exposed for the rubbish they are, in any way possible.

And of course it's okay to make fun of Elvis, and to make fun of any aspect of his life - so long as that fun is good-natured. I see nothing in this trailer than indicates otherwise.

And of course, you will choose to judge the film based solely on this trailer, and condemn it without fair appraisal.

When Elvis Met Nixon ... Elvis and The Beauty Queen .. both films were good-natured. Protecting The King was not; it was a decidedly ugly and nasty piece of work. I have seen all three films, so I can be objective.

Until I see this new flick (if I choose to see it) I shall reserve judgement.

Yes, I will judge this film . The same thing you are doing.,only putting a positive spin on it. I've seen the films and read most all the books. I don't need anyone to tell me what I might like. Most everyone can think for themselves , if given a chance.
It's too bad most of us don't know as much as we profess to know.

BTW: I heard someone was giving you a baby shower . What do you neeed?

[Getlo]

Yes, I will judge this film . The same thing you are doing.,only putting a positive spin on it.

And where have I judged the film exactly? I am going on the trailer. Try to keep up.

Well, I'd probably need you to to spell correctly for a start. Then, I'd probably need for you not to be so smug and condescending. But one can't have everything. ;)

Until I see this new flick (if I choose to see it) I shall reserve judgement.



As will I. I thought I'd hate a few of them, but when I gave them a shot I ended up enjoying them. Elvis Meets Nixon, Finding Graceland, and heartbreak Hotel to name three I guessed wrong I wouldn't like. I'm not saying I'll rush to buy it, but sooner or later I see them all, If it sucks when I see it I'll say so.

Cameron, Sonny is not "still mad at Elvis for firing him" as you said. You don't know him and have no right to presume what he feels, or thinks. And quite frankly what he does or does not participate in doesn't concern you either. There are a lot of fans who love Sonny and recognize him for the man he is.

You have a right to your opinion. Same as I do. ;)
