Grendels Dad posted:Bullet Train jumps up several stars when you imagine Michael Shannon's complex reactions as he learned about and then portrayed his anime as gently caress character. Especially the fact that He's the kind of villain who will play a game of Russian roulette with your life but also take his own turns with the revolver as well lmao. You do gotta hand it to him.

The A-Team and The Losers came out around the same time and I remember The Losers being better but it's been long enough that I can't be sure. I think they both end at the Port of LA?

This is almost all I remember about The Losers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7VmYQLiwIo That, and Idris Elba getting blown up.

It felt like they cast Evans before he started working out to be Captain America and then he showed up having gained 30 lbs of muscle. His character doesn’t fit his body type at all.

Watching Speed, and while I know composer Mark Mancina is a Hans Zimmer associate, I feel like a lot of late 90s onwards Zimmer-isms are lifted straight from this score. Did Zimmer produce anything that sounds like this beforehand, or did he rip off his buddy? I feel like this might be one of the most influential action movie scores ever.

There might be something mark mancinay before hand but I’m not sure. Bad Boys, Speed-2 and Twister all have a very similar vibe and they’re all incredible in their own ways. Bad Boys 2’s biggest issue is the lack of Mancina. And For Life’s biggest asset is that theme back loud and proud

No conversation about The A-Team is complete without mentioning how amazingly slimy Patrick Wilson is. He steals every scene he's in.

Land mine scene in Bad Boys 2 is an all-timer. It shows both the senseless and senselessly lethal US munitions and the perfection of our protagonists evading death. Pure movie excess, like the corpse with the giant tits for no reason but a joke.

Bad Boys For Life: Mark Mancina's original cues, with rapid "dunna-dunna-dunna" violin filler and a choir. Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Lalo Schifin's original cues, with rapid "dunna-dunna-dunna" violin filler and a choir. Top Gun Maverick: Harold Faltermeyer's original cues, with rapid - wait a minute. (No choir this time, though.) I definitely blame Hans Zimmer for the post-Batman ideal of action scores being just a backdrop of rapidly sawing violins with gradually rising BIG NOTES to show that Things Are Happening. I'd take James Horner self-cannibalising Battle Beyond The Stars for the 17th time any day.

Honestly I’d take that over a composer just doing their own thing. I really enjoy a musical through line through films and it always bums me out when they just negate it. A big one for me which ironically is the same composer we’re talking about how, pacific rim uprising. Movie was bad, bht it was worse without that killer score. It was just another bland part of a bland movie. I pretty much only listen to movie scores so most of the time I’ll throw on those more than the film lol.

Hardy was great in the movie.

It's boilerplate music, with nothing memorable or unexpected about it at all. Is it just that Balfe is a very unimaginative composer, or are producers and directors telling him "give me nothing but thudding audio wallpaper so I can hear the explosions and shouted dialog"? (Also lol that while I was typing this, the Pacific Rim Uprising score on Spotify that I was listening to finished and moved on to M:I Fallout, and I didn't even realize the scores had changed until two tracks in, they're that similar in style.)

I love the bit where they've captured Pike, and they're doing the most incompetent execution attempt in the back of a car. The henchman can't figure out how to get the suppressor on, calls it a silencer, Pike is nagging the henchman constantly, and then starts begging for someone else to kill him, instead. Just a throwaway scene filled with lots of great little bits.

Arnold on the rumor that he’s used a dialogue coach to avoid losing his accent:quote:I don’t know where this came from, but I absolutely don’t have a speech coach to keep my accent. I do have a friend I read lines with before movies (I always want the full script memorized before I show up on set, so we go through all of my scenes and move around and change the setting so I’m locked in) and work with before my speeches, but normally he is telling me I am mispronouncing English words, so it is the opposite. https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/ytKhZM8ovZ

I mentioned seeing Kill at a screening last year, thought it had a limited release and disappeared but it's just now getting a wider one. Definitely catch it if you can
