Ambitious Spider posted:You Only Live Twice. What could go wrong with bond having fun adventures in Japan? The crew commentary track on this one is wild. There were some cultural differences. All I remember about the film itself is that the lairs were cool, there was a gyrocopter, and they scared Blofeld’s cat so severely that its trainer took the producers to court for compensation.

Violet_Sky posted:I wonder if the film was popular in Japan Probably. James Bond was wildly popular all over the world. One of the reasons why Connery quit was that while they were shooting the YOLT in Japan, a paparazzi opened the toilet stall he was in and took pictures. I would too *ahem* lost my poo poo if my privacy was taken from me because I play secret agent in movies.

The film opens with Bond faking his death because he's become too recognizable.

I haven't listened because I'd want to do it with a rewatch, but I've got no idea where I could stream the show in Australia. Stan (assuming you mean Scrubs itself).

Hah, reading this I was reminded of The Day Today, which I remember being a fantastic piece of British parody of news reporting in the 90s, and was a big jumping off point for Armando Iannuci and Chris Morris. But every so often, you get reminded that it was from the 90s in the UK. Big time.

Violet_Sky posted:That reminds me of the time George Takei described one of his first film roles. One of his lines was "I am simple Japanese gardener!" Cue the Asian music. I have so much respect for Asian actors from the start of Hollywood until basically the last five years-- minus the Joy Luck Club and The Green Hornet (kind-of)-- for not viciously murdering every racist tool they worked under and slowly making headway while earning a living. food court bailiff posted:Didn't he write Garden State? I mean.... that kind of sets the tone for all of his projects, I think. I remember his follow-up Wish I Was Here, or something, which had literally one good scene carried by Mandy Patinkin and Kate Hudson.

I don’t know if anyone’s posted it yet, but having lived through 20 years of decline and seeing the approach of climate change geohell, I’m prepared to say that the Matrix calling 1999 the peak of so-called human civilization has aged pretty well.

He ends up in a relationship with his ex-wife where they love and respect each other, with 2 beautiful children and I think becomes the top doctor at the hospital. I wouldn't call that destroying his life. Also, I would argue that Dr. Cox from Scrubs is the textbook definition of a different kind of archetype than what you are describing. Dr. Cox is the gruff arsehole whose prickly exterior hides a soft and vulnerable interior. And every character and the audience can see that, so we are supposed to love him. Despite the mean things he does/says, because "aww, you don't mean that, you are really a sweetiepie".

And it is shown that he can be genuinely nice and reasonable to people who need it, and he's constantly butting heads with his boss because he puts patient welfare first and foremost, basically weaponising his assholishness against people who deserve it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVZ--JngeAM

I randomly watched the Truman Show last night, and even though there wasn’t anything particularly rapey there was a scene where he got very hands-on with his wife that had me going ‘woah’. Doubt that would fly today.

I think of all the 90s Carrey movies The Mask was the one that's aged the best. He has that rapey moment in the Park, but the Mask is not supposed to be any kind of healthy outlet, it's unregulated id acting out a base-level infatuation, and that's the worst he gets. Plus that moment does call out how creepy his behaviour is, so it's obvious the movie knows that it's VERY bad behaviour that a lot of people mistake for romantic - Tina is visibly uncomfortable and the whole point of that moment is effectively to show that in some aspects of his life the Mask makes the situation worse, not better. Or at least to hammer it home to *stanley* because before that moment he kind of thinks of the mask as a good thing to use for a quick confidence boost as he begins to become dependant on it. Also Blades of Glory with Will Ferrel and Jon Heder has aged surprisingly well. You'd think it would be homophobic, but it's actually very genuine and sweet - the whole point of the characters arcs is that they are initially weirded out by skating with another man, but by Fire and Ice they have got over their hangups and are just willing to do whatever they need to regardless of what that means - they just want to skate. Heder even point out that they are getting weird looks and and Ferrel's just like "Ehhh, let em stare. They don't matter."

Liar Liar is one of those "you work too much, you need to spend time with your family" movies that don't work out well anymore because people gotta risk their lives working two or three jobs just to stay above water and also can't afford to even have a family.

Happy Landfill posted:I'm thinking back to Liar Liar and I can't recall anything super cringy off the top of my head. Then again it's been years since I've last watched it. Cary Elwes is trying to step in and be the better man, au natural. He doesn't have a real good rapport with the kid but he's clearly started winning Maura Tierney's heart. It's not sexist, racist, transphobic or homophobic which is the usual cringe customers but it still felt wrong that a magic "curse" got Jim Carrey to basically cheat his way past The Man in Black.

Also he's a lovely husband and father, the wife left him for good reasons and her new partner is just cast aside cause Carrey's character drove a stair truck up to a moving plane and said "I love you." or whatever. e; His secretary leaves and doesn't come back cause she realizes what a scummy person he is, which is good.
