I really want to see Adam Sandler play a mass murderer, a dictator, or a cannibal or something similarly vile with the exact same mannerisms as his comedic persona. I despise everything he's ever done but that alone would make up for it.

Justin Godscock posted:I'm surprised nobody has said Bruce Willis' death at the end of Armageddon especially since that one guy brought up Michael Bay. Here we have a mindless action movie with a shaky premise that would piss the every-loving gently caress off of everyone on Reddit (they like their science over there) and cause the Internet to meltdown as a result yet that one scene at the end was actually well done and just sad. Completely agree. Bad Boys 2 I thought had interesting commentary on police/law enforcement. It was clouded in explosions and boobs but nonetheless shows the rapid militarization of this country's law enforcement agencies.

Sandlers performance is Punch Drunk Love is loving stellar. He's playing essentially the same character he did in his earlier films but put in a realistic setting.

Franz von Dada posted:And under good direction. Paul Thomas Anderson is so good with actors that even if you didn't like his films otherwise, you couldn't deny the fact that the acting in his movies are ALWAYS top-notch. I would argue that PT Anderson's films focus less on plot and more on character. Because of the lack of "A then B then C then...." hand-holding that most mainstream films strive for, many people are turned off by his films. I LOVE them though. He's got that Kubrick-esque quality of transfixing the viewer. You don't always know why you're watching but you can't look away.

The sequel to Babe, Babe: Pig in the City was a pretty interesting film and I'm not sure I would call it silly, the first one definitely had some emotional moments too. But there's one scene that I just thought was heart-rending when the little handicapped dog "dies" and his heaven is being able to run through a green pasture on his own two legs. Crap, I'm tearing up right now. (but don't worry, it all works out OK) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXQnlp3uqJA

Even though it's not really a silly movie, but in the new Robocop where it's revealed that he's only left with his head, heart, lungs, and hand was really sad and depressing. Wasn't expecting that at all.

Phylodox posted:I think Funny People was, like, two good movies and a kind of mediocre movie crammed unceremoniously together. It's pretty good until it becomes The Bridges of Marin County. Justin Godscock posted:Also, I think the reason why nobody really likes Adam Sandler anymore is the guy seems to be the one who stops trying after he hits it big. Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore still hold up (if you like silly humor) but lately the guy has been phoning it in bad relying on easy juvenile humor and stereotypes instead of carefully lacing them into his films. It was the same deal with SNL where he was great at first, then you watch his final season and he clearly stopped trying which is why he (and others) got fired during the 1995 purge. It seems like Adam Sandler makes movies today as an excuse to take his friends on vacation. He's been a rich guy in nearly every one of his movies for the last few years, because that lets him just do whatever without explaining it.

To be fair, it's probably more honest than trying to pretend he's still some poor bachelor schlub. He's been far removed from that lifestyle for a long time now, so making cheesy comedies about being a rich guy with young children is probably the truest expression of who he is.

On the other hand, Sandler's laziness works to his advantage when he's on press tours for his movies because he's one of the few comedic actors that doesn't try way too hard to be funny in every goddamn interview(see: Kevin Hart). He can just do a normal interview and not annoy the poo poo out of me while doing it.

It's not a silly movie by any means, but the bit in The Breakfast Club where Vernon confronts Bender in the supply closet. Just a great moment where suddenly all the comedy is gone out of their relationship.

I think the part that really gets me is the doctors performance as he tries to tell the President the prognosis. Whoever that guy was he's a drat good actor and I don't think I've ever seen him in anything else.

For me, it's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While I'd argue the whole movie is pretty drat good, the scenes with Splinter and Raphael, Splinter and Danny (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hciTSjAe73Y) and the mystical seance that kickstarts the last act really hit home in a personal way.

John Carter premise was pretty silly considering the main character's super power was being able to jump really really high. However I still liked the movie. This scene always makes me pretty emotional, I'm guessing its the music that sounds like it was ripped off from Lost, because the opening of Star Trek (2009) was similarly moving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7ZeptdPPrU
