my subtle movie moment for today is going "huh, I wonder what happened to Tia Carrere" after the Wayne's World chat and realizing she was Nani's voice in Lilo and Stitch, I have no idea how I didn't remember that

I actually watched it quite recently. The cast were fine, but the plot was a whole lot of nothing tbh. Had the same problem that a lot of movies have when the studio anticipates it being a massive franchise; The movie spends its entire runtime getting to the point where it should have been by the 20 minutes mark, setting up a hypothetical interesting sequel instead of making an interesting first movie that they can sequelise later if its a hit. Like no-one on this earth gives half a poo poo about Lara Croft working as a cycle courier in london, cut it out and get on with the tomb raiding. It it apparently getting a sequel though, unlike a lot of movies that pull that poo poo.

In the movie she refuses to believe her father is really dead so she won't sign the documents that transfer the company all their money is tied up in over to her. She does at the end.

I rewatched Kung Pow recently It's such an inventive idea I would love to see a modern interpretation, but as it stands it's unfortunately very dated. Jestery has a new favorite as of 09:36 on Jul 3, 2020 |

Aphrodite posted:In the movie she refuses to believe her father is really dead so she won't sign the documents that transfer the company all their money is tied up in over to her. It is the dumbest poo poo. If she had signed the transfer documents at the start of the drat movie, she could have then used her fathers wealth to search for her father. Then if/when she found him, he could have been given it back. Someone being declared dead then found to be alive isnt exactly without legal precedence, but she acts like if she signs the document her father would immediately explode into nothingness. So yeah, she spends the first 20 minute or so of the movie as a cycle courier in london, introducing some side characters who are never mentioned again after those first 20 minutes. Again, cast were fine (Vikander is a decent actress, Walton Goggins is always good value) but the supporting cast (Kristen Scott Thomas and Daniel Wu) are given absolutely nothing to work with, and the main cast are just given bullshit to work with. Dominic West seems to realise that the only chance he has with that script is to ham it up as much as possible, an acting choice I think of as "Dennis Hopper in Waterworld" and fully support. Having said that, I'll probably watch the sequel to see if they fix the issues having dealt with the tedious set up in the first movie. 7/10.

The first remake game that it heavily borrows from has a whole crew on the boat with her. They all end up on the island too (and a lot of them die) so you’d figure the bike messenger friends are references to those characters but nope, they’re all just brand new nobodies.

rotinaj posted:I love Wayne’s world but isn’t it just him doing “upper Midwest teen/early 20s” which is a region/mindset? Wayne's World is a heavily fictional and idealized version of it, but as a working class upper Midwestern person who was in his teen/early 20s at one point, Wayne's World is a really fun nostalgia trip. Wayne's World 2 suffers from starting out with the celebrity cameos a bit too much, but is a solid comedy for the most part. Master of Disguise is weird because it's very clearly a children's movie, but has weird scenes where the protagonist talks about how much he loves fat asses.

I think Kung Pow is mixed because it has a lot of really bad jokes, but also some really, really good ones. Mostly the meta-jokes that people like to repeat. Also, there are actual people like Wimp Lo.

In the annals of moviemaking there are few sequels that improve upon their originals. The Godfather, Aliens, Terminator 2, and Wayne’s World 2. Mike Myers is okay, but his sense of humor seems painfully stuck in the 90’s. And the Scottish thing got really old. Then again, watching Chris Farley’s Shrek makes you realize the ogre desperately needed an accent of some kind. https://youtu.be/9zYT5hQR4Q4

Superhero movies are one where it’s not uncommon for sequels to outdo the original. Sometimes even the 3rd movie pulls it off. My guess would be because you get the origin out of the way.

Yeah, Shrek would not be the same without a silly indeterminate accent. And y'know, kinda works with the whole deal of him being a foreigner to the movie's world.

Also the scottish accent he uses is surprisingly sweet for an Ogre, he has a very disarming voice at first. Like it's almost like he's reminding a child of how to do something when he whispers "This is the part... where you... run away..." His words are ogrish, but his actual delivery is very friendly given what he's saying.

Like it's almost like he's reminding a child of how to do something when he whispers "This is the part... where you... run away..." It really works for the character, that he's strong and uncouth but he's not stupid, and he knows that he's big and scary and makes use of that when convenient. It means he can be a likeable character that doesn't scare the kids but pull off being kind of a badass. While its sequels and imitators did everything to death, Shrek has some surprisingly solid fundamentals as a movie.

It reminds me of Peter Capaldi's turn as The doctor - he looks terrifying, can be ruthless, but internally he is a fairly good person even if he has to make hard decisions (despite his thoughtless cruelty in Kill the Moon, a bad episode with a good final scene) - his entire character is summed up in one exchange with Clara: Clara: "We'll do good cop bad cop, I'll be good cop" Doctor: "Why can't I be good cop for a change?" Clara: "We've talked about this..." Doctor: "Oh, right... the eyebrows..."
