Fighting Elegy posted:Is there anything really sexist about Willie besides for how much she screams? I recall really liking the character, she was funny and her viewing Indy as a charmless brute led to fun moments. To the best of my memory she's my favorite character in the series. (watches movie about how savage indians have constructed an elaborate death cult around torturing and murdering children before finally being defeated by the civilizing presence of the thirties era raj) wow look at this woman screaming so much all that sexism is really problematic

it ain't Mighty Max but they are taking another crack at live-action He-Man with Travis Knight it's not like he's untalented so maybe that could be something but it doesn't seem like his wheelhouse and the hollywood trends have circled back around to "drag the otherworldly characters into contemporary US settings rather than make expensive sets" but hopefully they let him get weird with it since the last He-Man movie already tried and failed at that

I love when disaster movies have to kill off anyone who ever disagreed with the hero scientist. Dante's Peak is great for that: Pierce Brosnan's boss, who was extremely reasonable the whole movie, let Pierce go on a trip to gather more information, brought a team in to follow up, and declared an emergency and began an evacuation the moment Pierce had anything substantive, still dies to a sudden flood towards the end of the movie

Kind of a racist movie, but it's the most insane and unhinged of the Indy films in a very fun way. Love seeing a guy get skewered with a kabob and watching someone else get their heart ripped out then dipped in lava then watching Indy go on an insanely awful trip rear end he twists and convulses in pure terror as reality disintegrates around him. All in a movie that 10 yr old kids watch. Willie Scott is hot as well. AWESOME STUFF,

screaming into the void: they need to take a third crack at a movie in the Hitman franchise because they keep loving up by making the movies focus on 47, as opposed to making the movie focus on a group of targets as 47 kills them one by one from the periphery basically i want Final Destination but occasionally you see a glimpse of a bald guy with a barcode tattoo in an inconspicuous outfit tampering with an elevator winch / gas oven / construction crane / etc

ABC's of death anthology style even could work and as you go on you realize he's piece by piece dismantling a human trafficking ring or something But the movies were definitely both missing the slapstick humor of the games/tried too hard to humanize 47 when he's basically a Michael Myers super assassin with no inner-life But someone should have been murdered with a marlin head in those movies and I don't remember that happening.

I'd do it where there would be a few sequences at different locales, where first it's from the perspective of the criminals as they're getting up to bad deeds and then final destination-esque deaths. And then go from 47's perspective and you see him knocking people out, stealing clothes, and setting up the rueben-esque murder contraptions. hell it could even be a miniseries. of course there would be repeat value in watching the first part again to see the tall bald dude in various get ups in the background.

Half the time people talked about the Fall Guy my eyes would just quickly scan whatever was being written and I thought people were talking about The Nice Guys which also starred Ryan Gosling. Now I know what it feels like to be one of those people that didn't buy a WiiU for the same reason.

If you catch yourself laughing at something Bill Maher has said lately on HBO's "Real Time," his Friday night perch for the past 21 years, just be careful: next time, the joke could be on you. No one is spared Maher's humor, or as he sees it, truth-telling – not the right ("If you're gonna turn over your party to a foreign power, at least pick the right one. Russia? Are you kidding? It's like the Republicans looked over all the companies they could merge with and picked Sears!"), nor the left ("You call yourself the resistance? Then fight behind enemy lines. That's what a 'resistance' does. That's the difference between blowing up a tank and tweeting about it. Get out of your echo chamber and infiltrate theirs!"). Asked if you can make an audience laugh and think at the same time, Maher replied, "Totally, of course. The great thing about laughter is that it's involuntary, so if you laugh at something, something in you tells you that's true. It must be true; I laughed at it! Maybe I wasn't supposed to." He said the throughline for everything he writes and says is, "Keep it real. Don't be tribal. Don't say something just because that's going to make the audience of one side applaud, or boo. Practical solutions as opposed to ideological. And don't pull a punch." The 68-year-old Maher has been swinging at targets high and low his entire career, taking his own share of knocks along the way. But he still gladly courts controversy, as when he told the "Real Time" audience, "The right response to speech you don't like is more speech, not the lazy, cowardly response of 'canceling' people." That attitude explains the title of his new book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You" (to be published May 21 by Simon & Schuster). It's compiled from years of Maher's commentaries on "Real Time." "I wanted to see if the world had changed or I had changed more," he said. "I was excavating, reading over all these editorials from years and years and years, and I wanted to find that answer. I speak for the normies. You know, I speak from that, I think, vast middle that is tired of the partisanship. I don't want to hate half the country, and I don't hate half the country." Costa said, "You write a lot throughout this book that the left irritates you, frustrates you at times, but the right often alarms you?" "Yes, they're very alarming!" Maher replied. "They're extremely alarming. More alarming." But if he finds the right more alarming than the left, why not shine the spotlight on them only? "The truth isn't one-sided like that," Maher said. "The Democrats constantly are running against Trump with the idea, You people out there couldn't possibly vote for this guy. And people are saying, Watch me. Hold my beer. Watch me to vote for him again. Instead of just saying, Oh, he's lied. Like, we know he's a liar. He's Donald Trump! He can't help himself. He's crazy. I mean, I think literally crazy. I think there's a kind of a level of malignant narcissism, which is not just a personality quirk, it's diagnosable, and he suffers from it." Costa asked, "If you had him on 'Real Time,' what would you ask him?" "Would you please go away?" Maher laughed. He said that Trump has been invited to be on the show: "Of course, we've asked everybody, I mean, of that stature. He knows he has an open invitation to come on, but I don't think he really hates me, because the amount of times that he goes after me." "He watches the show," said Costa. "Accidentally! It's always accidentally," Maher said. "He watches it 'accidentally' every week. It's amazing!" In fact, conservatives don't shy away from "Real Time." Trump's Attorney General William Barr was a guest last year. Maher said the reaction from liberal circles "was exactly what I hate about this country: How dare you? How dare you platform somebody? "So, you're going to have to talk to people, and maybe you'll find out that they're not the monsters you think they are. I mean, do I apologize for Bill Barr's (I thought) horrible behavior when the Mueller Report came out and he basically lied about it? I don't. But look, this is what I call a good-as-it-gets Republican. He came out and said Trump lost the election. That's the main thing in the Republican Party right now: Do you believe elections count only if you win? "As good as it gets" could well be Maher's motto for politics, and for life – not wishing for what could be, but recognizing what he sees is real (and taking you on if you're not).
