08.19.09 SCOTT, DENZEL AND PINE RUN TRAIN ON DAWSON
(that train engine is actually 60 feet long)
Variety reports that Rosario Dawson has just joined the cast of Tony Scott’s upcoming Unstoppable alongside Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Scheduled to begin shooting this fall, Unstoppable comes from writer Mark Bomback who recently penned the screenplay for 2007’s Race To Witch Mountain (oh great, so we’re in good hands then).
Unstoppable, a 20th Century Fox drama about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. Pits an engineer and his conductor in a race against time. They’re chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve and causes a toxic spill that will decimate a town. [IMDB]
The script is loosely based on actual events, which probably means that Mark Bomback once owned a train set…then again, maybe it’s actually based on the time that Denzel Washington and Chris Pine stopped an unmanned train. I don’t know, how should I know? I’m not the one who told you to cheat off me during this test. Well, regardless of whatever the hell it actually means to say that something is “inspired by true events”, I do believe that Mitch Hedberg said it best:
” I like it when they say a movie is inspired by a true story. Cause that’s weird, it means the movies not a true story, it was just inspired by a true story. ‘Hey, Mitch, did you hear the story about that lady who drove her children into the river and they all drowned? Yes, I did, and that inspired me to write a movie about a gorilla!’ “ Do You Believe In Gosh?

SCOTT, DENZEL AND PINE RUN TRAIN ON DAWSON
I’d rather rewatch The Atomic Train. This has to be Denzel’s durst.
If the runaway train happens to be racing towards any town in Kansas, I hope Denzell forgets his keys to his train.
Thanks, J.
Speed 3: The Urban Edition.
Runaway train, huh? So after a week or two on the run, it will probably let you do anal for a sandwich and Pepsi.
As it turns out, Chris Pine finds himself in an ethical dilemma as Denzel uses some pretty underhanded techniques for getting the locomotive to stop in ‘Train Day’.
You’re right, Donk. That was rude. Then how about just racing towards Lawrence or Manhattan?
Pine: Just what exactly is on that train?
Washington: Various asian birds, some pigs with the sniffles, e-coli contaminated spinach, and a whole load of children’s toys that were manufactured in China.
Pine: Oh. My. God.
I think this movie was actually inspired by a seventh grade math test.
I also would have accepted Wichita, Atchison, Fort Scott, or Tonganoxie.
I still haven’t heard what role Dawson’s tits will be playing. I heard they’re holding out for the role of “Mountain Pass”.
If they only knew where that train was going they wouldn’t have to chase it with another train. Wily trains.
I thought about Wichita, but it already knows it’s a fuck up, so I didn’t want to pile on.
Ers, their role, at least for tonight, will be my shower fodder. Something about seeing that choo choo in between her hoo hoos.
Wasn’t Denny just in another Tony Scott train movie that derailed his career? At least Travolta isn’t anywhere near this trainwreck.
I still can’t believe no one has caught on that Rosario Dawson is actually Rosie Perez. I guess drinking the virgin blood of a third born Down’s child does work.
*a brief spike in neutron radiation is detected, then…SUDDENLY Grethor appears!*

Qaplah, forshak-hut dwelling yIntaghs! The Mighty Feklahr has survived the State Fair and has returned to grace you with his wit and humour!
*peruses article*
Hmm…seems like this movie should be getting somewhere, somehow it’s neither here nor there…
end transmission
Why did that end like Dr Suess’lhr?
If you look closely, you can see that the train is part of the 36D&R Railroad.
GET THIS MOTHER F**KING TOXIC RAIN, OFF THIS MOTHER F**CKIN TRAIN!
Fek, did you bring enough Lemonade Tacos for the rest of the class?
I’ve been deeply in love with Rosario ever since 25th hour. Oh and seeing her uh… “eye” bounce in the dance scene in Clerks 2 didn’t hurt her chances with me either.
boPa-No, but He was able to secure a bulk rate discount for “Chocolate Covered Bacon On A Stick”.
(the monster truck advertising it caught His eye)
Dawson: The track is out ahead! What are we going to do?
Pine: I’m going to speed up. I’m going to jump the gap.
Donk: *dismissive wank*
Dawson: The track is out ahead! What are we going to do?
Pine: I’m going to speed up. I’m going to nuke the fridge.
Man you really “Nuked the Durst” on that one, eh Fek?
