I haven't seen Inner Space in decades, but as a kid I remember Jack turning into the Cowboy as being the funniest thing in human history.

Reminds me of some of the darker takes on The Incredible Hulk where Bruce wakes up and finds out he ate a guy.

In old man logan he's also loving his cousin Jennifer/She Hulk and they have terrible inbred children. It's a bad plot point.

In Paddington, the titular bear causes hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds worth of water damage to this family's flat, and it seems like the thing people are most unhappy with is that he made a mess. Also the villain was just about to kill the whole family and yet she gets community service for her crimes.

I always felt the first Paddington had tone issues because the villain was too dark an idea for the setting - the villain of the second movie fits the tone of the universe far better, but as a whole it kind of makes the fact that Mr Currie isn't a social pariah kind of hard to swallow given he literally almost helped the villain kill Paddington in the first one and in the second he's just back to being the curmudgeon like nothing happened.

The way I remember the difference between Garth Ennis & Mark Millar is Ennis is Irish & weird, while Millar is Scottish and mean.

To be fair, he had no idea what the villain had in mind, and when he did he got his friend Mr Murry who is certainly not Mr Curry to call the family and tell them Paddington had been kidnapped.

I remember one of the two have an obsession with particular phrasing. In each of the comic series by Ennis (I think, preacher and one other had this) there is a thing with a person masturbating and the phrase recurs every time where they're whispering to themselves "Cradle the balls... work the shaft...."

BrigadierSensible posted:Inner Space also glosses over the fact that Martin Short has to live the rest of his life with the corpse of that henchman in the second tiny ship floating around in his body. I really liked Innerspace growing up. I saw it in the drive in when it came out. I remember flipping out at my dad initially because the very beginning starts out with the camera moving through this spooky blue white cave but then it pans out and it's just the ice from some guys scotch the whole time. Then they had the boring part (for me as a kid) exposition to show how much of a drunk Navy gently caress up Tuck was and I was getting pissed at my dad because there was no shrinking involved at that point and I thought we were watching the wrong movie. Even as an adult, the Tuck vs Mr. Igoe battle was the coolest part of the film. But it's so drat short; Igoe finds Tuck waiting in the back of the throat, he charges him a few times, disables one of his thrusters and damages his electronics. Tuck zaps him with a laser then jams some electrified fork up the other suits jet exhaust shorting out the suit. Igoe ejects and starts drilling holes in Tucks oxygen tanks then tries to bore through his windshield. They fall into the stomach and Tuck drops both of them,dissolving Igoe into a skeleton. Half the movie should have been that fight, Tuck getting constantly chased and terrorized by this crazy dude in a crab suit while they fight across Jack's organs.

My main Innerspace childhood memory is of being really upset that the scientist friend, who I think was named Ozzie, gets killed. For some reason little tiny me got super attached to that guy in his five minutes of screen time.

I can't believe this many people have seen Inner Space and have opinions on it. I think I saw it on cable TV once about 25 years ago but I don't remember anything about it except Dennis Quaid, Martin Short and a guy is small inside someone else but I haven't heard anyone talk about it since then. Until now that is. I guess it has a following.

Saw it a few times because my sisters loved it, and I think it turned up on television a fair bit. When you've got no cable, no satellite, no internet, and four TV channels, you're a lot less picky about saying "Nah, I've seen this before." Although I will still watch Commando whenever it's on. Never not in the mood for Commando.

It's kind of like The Magic Schoolbus or that episode of Rick and Morty, Pancreas Park or something. There is an earlier movie Fantastic Voyage that is similar but without the comedy aspects. I think Inner Space is worth a rewatch. I'm not gonna do it but report back.

At a certain point in I think the late 90s Comedy Central played Innerspace a bunch. The wrote a song for the promo they ran for it.

Fair enough about Innerspace. I have a few average to mediocre movies in my wheelhouse that I remember way too much about or saw too many times just because they were on TBS or USA all the time and now they're buried in my brain. The Outsiders springs to mind, which is OK but not one of Coppola's best and it was on cable TV constantly. I just didn't expect 2 pages on how irrational Innerspace is. And that strikes me as irrational. ... Which reminds me. Remembering The Outsiders and ubiquitous cable TV movies got me recalling Matt DIllon, who I like, in a movie called "My Bodyguard" that also stars Adam Baldwin, Joan Cusack, Ruth Gordon and Martin Mull. It's real good and not very well known but for a movie that centers on a kid learning to fight back and not be bullied, the climatic fight scene that's supposed to be this triumphant redemptive moment is laughably bad and directed horribly. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzRDoDV8Sbo Skip to 3:30 to see a terrible fight scene BiggerBoat has a new favorite as of 00:42 on May 7, 2021 |

Look at it this way: They need to kill many characters for the kombat to be considered mortal. You don't want all your favorite characters to die right away, so they have to introduce characters that aren't them

Sleeping Beauty and every version of it: WHY does she live in a forest raised by loving fairies, not knowing she is a princess, for ANY loving REASON? The spell is she will touch a spindle/spinning wheel on her 16th birthday and die. Nowhere does it say she needs to be raised as a peasant by random fairies in the middle of the wood, and then brought back to the castle on her 16th birthday.

Read the Disney Twisted Tales book, Once Upon a Dream - Aurora raises those points herself and by the middle of the book she is equally pissed off with everyone in her life, not just Maleficent, because first of all raising her in the woods didn't do her any favours, not warning her about the curse was a dumb move, and what the gently caress use is Beauty, Grace and Song for a queen - she was clearly being groomed from birth to be a bride, not a queen and that pisses her off.

I was wondering about this, so checked the original Grimm version - she's definitely a princess and lives in the castle. The dumb thing is, she's only cursed because the king wanted to invite all the wise women in the kingdom (13 of them), but only had 12 gold plates, so rather than get more crockery, he doesn't invite one of them. Who finds out, crashes the party and curses the girl.

I've never seen the Disney version all the way through, but I do remember the version from the 80's anime Grimm's Fairly Tales that aired on Nickelodeon. IIRC, I don't think she is aware of the curse, but the king orders all spinning wheels in the kingdom burned, or something. How they continue to make clothing and spin yarn is of no concern, I suppose? I guess just buy it all pre-spun from a neighboring kingdom. But there was one lone spinning wheel, forgotten about in a tall tower in the castle, that she climbs and pricks her finger on. I also got freaked out by the scene of a random knight trying to get to the castle to save her and getting killed and turned into a loving FLOWER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt2JSRUokOk&t=275s DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 20:04 on May 7, 2021 |

Probably use distaff and spindle like they did for generations before spinning wheels, I suspect. Though making all the women go back to that for 16 years seems a worse curse than the sleep bit. quote:I also got freaked out by the scene of a random knight trying to get to the castle to save her and getting killed and turned into a loving FLOWER: Well, THAT definitely is freaky enough to fit the original fairy tale (although considering the original tale involved a rapist prince, perhaps we shouldn't mourn that knight's fate...).

Rewatched the new RoboCop for the first time and it's still mediocre. The funniest thing is the Ed209 is a better peacekeeping machine since they immediately stop shooting when a non combatant gets in the line of fire, while RoboCop shoots a target he's not supposed to (the bad guy) by overcoming his directives.
