No 100 million dollar marvel movie CGI battle Royale spectacular will ever look as good as launching Jackie Chan off a pneumatic trampoline into a pile of cardboard boxes

i don't think there many humans that can take as much punishment as jackie chan though

the other actors did rehearse but good luck getting Pacino to show up for that. Friedkin also complained that they had to give Al a call time 2 hours early if they wanted him to only be an hour late

i was more talking about To Live And Die In L.A. he had the first setup, did one take with Bill Petersen, and said "got it, let's move on", and Petersen couldn't believe anyone would work so fast

realized I'd never seen the full run of season 1 of Black Adder, so I'm rectifying that. much funnier than expected, and Brian Blessed is a treat. funny to see Baldrick as far more competent than the later series

cmon, this take is tepid. it's obviously better than the trash that was the last couple of books. saying that it's better than "the books" in general means that it's also better than the first couple, which is a meaningful (though not extreme: they're just "fine-to-good") statement

yeah that rules and I’m glad the show is leaning in to it rather than away. the books sucked imo I only made it halfway through the second
