MADDEN 09.1 – THE LONGEST YARD 3

MADDEN 09 THE LONGEST YARD: REVENGE OF THE GUARDS Bob Aldrich once said, “I like to believe that my indelible trademark is my affection for the struggle to regain self-esteem. Now, the likelihood of doing that is remote. Still, it’s the costs that make it into a gallant struggle. In ‘The Longest Yard,’ perhaps Burt Reynolds is not going to have a happy prison life; perhaps he’s not going to go on living at all. And in Emperor,’ perhaps Lee Marvin hasn’t really prevailed over anything. But in each case a man has fallen from grace, done something he’s ashamed of, and then struggled to recapture his opinion of himself. Now, I think the odds against succeeding in doing that are overwhelming. It’s not in the cards that that’s probably going to happen. But I think you admire the people beside you who say, ‘The hell with it. I’m not going to quit. I don’t give a shit what other people think about me. I’m going to try and hold myself in esteem.’ That’s what all these pictures are really about.”

Longest Yard

www.filmchannel1.com THE LONGEST YARD is a remake of the 1974 film of the same name starring Burt Reynolds, both of which are about a football game in prison between the inmates and the guards, and if ever there was a reason not to remake a good film, this is it. Unless, of course, this remake starring Adam Sandler in the Burt Reynolds role–yes, Adam Sandler–is actually a remake of the 2001 British remake called MEAN MACHINE, which is about a soccer game in prison instead of football. I can’t make the same remakes comment about MEAN MACHINE, because I have never seen it, much less heard of it, but THE MEAN MACHINE is what the 1974 film was called in Great Britain, and what we call soccer is called football there. Get it? Me, neither. At any rate, if you can imagine Adam Sandler in any Burt Reynolds role, maybe you can imagine him as a professional football player– American style–who goes to prison in Texas where we are told they take two things very seriously: prisons and football. Sandler plays Paul Crewe, but I can’t think of him as playing an actual character in any film, only as Adam Sandler. Anyway, Sandler goes to prison after a silly car chase following an obligatory party scene at the beginning of the film, and he tells the warden, ‘I just want to do my time here and go home. Nothing else.’ However, the warden, played by James Cromwell in another in a long line of bad-guy roles which is getting old, has plans to run for governor and wants some name-recognition …
