HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I happen to think it's better than NY but I have a soft spot for sequels like that. In a lot of ways it's more "watchable". Escape From New York has a really fantastic slow-burn quality to it. The whole thing just oozes atmosphere. Escape From L.A. sprays atmosphere at your face and just moves from one bit to the next. It's a movie that doesn't slow down for anything. So which one I want to watch depends entirely on my mood.

CopywrightMMXI posted:Much like Hangover 2, Home Alone 2 is essentially a setting change from the original. Also, much like Hangover 2, it's a really mean-spirited film. Home Alone 2 is fairly different because it more or less completely ditches the pretense of being a family movie like the first and instead becomes pure kid wish-fulfillment of running wild in Manhattan with a bottomless credit card and no lame parents and a sick new Talkboy™. That and instead of the climax being a home invasion where he's fighting off intruders it becomes a full-on vigilante/revenge film with Kevin provoking the burglars into his abandoned building full of Saw deathtraps.

The goofy thing about the version of the Talkboy they put out on sale around the release of the movie was that it didn't actually have the slowdown feature (they did eventually release a version with it.) That's because when they were filming the movie it wasn't actually a real product, they just decided to make it afterwards.

In the Usual Suspects what ethnicity is Pete Postlethwait supposed to be? He seems to be talking in an Indian or Iranian accent.

Presumably "Kobayashi" isn't his name though, that's just a brand of porcelain ware.

Yeah, and in fact, we're the only ones who have the benefit of knowing during the story that Kobayashi looks like Pete Postlethwait. The interviewer probably assumes that he is a Japanese person. edit: Are there some decent movies where Pete Postlethwait plays a nice person? He looks so nice  An yet he's a bad guy in almost everything I've seen him in.

Just ran through his IMDB. I guess the shaved head made me not recognize him in Alien 3. I've seen that movie at least 10 times. Anyway he's not the rapey prisoner, though he's probably not a very nice guy considering he's on a weird outer space prison colony.

The Aliens universe is so dystopian he could be in for gambling debts or chewing gum in public. He seemed like a good dude but he could have been space Hannibal Lecter for all I know. v0v
