Who is probably best known in America for being Keira Knightly's fiancee in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. But I will always know him as the main guy in Coupling, or from This Life. He is the guy who teams up with Idris Elba to fight vampires in Ultraviolet *  *The good one, not the bad one.

mostlygray posted:Both of these look very interesting. I neither speak Polish nor Dutch, but I could get the gist of the first one. It’s probably worth pointing out that in Ireland it’s almost never referred to as the “Potato Famine”, but as the Great Famine. The reason for this is that the Potato Blight happened in other parts of Europe too, but there was only a famine in Ireland, i.e. the problem wasn’t the potatoes, but the UK government’s response.

Gorson posted:It just makes it so hard to take Deckards character seriously. He's touted as this legendary retirer of replicants but he's bad at his job. He only kills two of them (1 in the back, 1 while they are doing gymnastics) and gets his rear end handed to him by each before "retiring" them. Rachael retires Leon, saving Deckard, and Batty hits his life span, again after saving Deckard. If he’s a replicant himself, he can’t have been around all that long, so the “legendary retirer of replicants” bit makes most sense as a lie, part of his deep, deep cover.

They're just in the background playing as a band during the town fair, do their little 'spin the instruments' trick and the movie goes on, never mentioning it again. Charlton Heston in Wayne’s World 2. Marshall McLuhan in Annie Hall. (Yes I know). Kurt Vonnegut in Back to School.

Eh! Frank posted:The Other Guys is one of those movies that I'm pretty sure I've seen, but I remember next to nothing that happens in it. The Nice Guys is extremely good, and most of the things said about it in the above post are actually reasons that it is good. The Other Guys is nowhere near as funny as it needs to be, and it does a peculiar thing where, having established that most action film protagonists are terrible unlikable arseholes, it suggests that our protagonists need to become more like them and that will be a good thing.

Crowetron posted:My other favorite behind the scenes story from that game was that the original concept was for the protagonist to be a Wookie, and George Lucas had to explain to the devs that it's a good idea for the hero of a story to able to speak a real human language. This must be why the Half-Life games were such a failure.

AnonSpore posted:I thought OP was asking specifically about the hidden physical attractiveness trope and not anything having to do with violence or incels or whatever. I think with men in film it's usually glasses and hair too, though in their case it's more often haircuts and beard trimming/shaving than styling per se. See also "We put Johnny Galecki in some glasses. He's a nerd now."

Pope Corky the IX posted:Game of Thrones was hilarious in that the first half of the show makes it perfectly clear that it takes a long time to get from place to place. Robb’s army, Arya and the Hound, Jamie and Brianne, etc...they all take something like a season or two to arrive at their respective destinations. Then by the last two seasons, everyone is fast traveling to get where they need to be within an episode or two. Even faster than that: apparently you can send a message with a raven from north of the wall to the south coast and have someone fly a dragon up to rescue you, all within a matter of hours!

sticklefifer posted:It irrationally bothers me when a title is an overly on-the-nose double entendre. I don't mean stuff like Shaun of the Dead or The IT Crowd where it's a pun or a word replacement. I mean the kind of title where it definitely seems like the writer came up with the title first, thought it was amazing because it has two meanings, then wrote an entire movie/show around it. "Maybe we should take 'Judge' out of the title and go with my original title: 'Mr. Reinhold's Courtroom'."

Not that there's anything neccessarily wrong with hamming it up, it just wouldn't work for Police Squad. West did this in the pilot for Lookwell (1991), which is pretty good: https://youtu.be/IraqNhvvpUU
