Jedit posted:Eurotrip features stoner comedy in the Vatican, if that helps. It's even on topic for having the worst Italian accent in movie history, followed up by Nazi jokes in Germany. My biggest disappointment about the show Justified was that Tim's character at no point used the excuse "wait, this isn't where I parked my car."

CubanMissile posted:The protagonists aren't built for it either. There's not a single interesting thing about Will and Elizabeth and once they got together those characters should have been retired. If you wanna make films about pirates dealing with spooky ghosts, Sparrow is the only character that makes sense to keep around. Instead, they took a fun, swashbuckling movie and then overconvulated the plot in an effort to try to make every character relevant in the sequels. Then you end up with poo poo like Elizabeth becoming the pirate king. The main problem with POTC is there never should have been any sequels at all.

I love that style as well but Sky Captain is almost all CG with this Vaseline blur that would get George Lucas hard. If they did it with real sets it would have been pretty good.

Random Hajile posted:The absolute worst were all the recurring B and C characters in the third film. Oh boy, the loser false-eyed pirate and his buddy are doing a thing. And now the loving monkey and parrot are doing something wacky, isn't that zany? All that poo poo is basically the Disney version of DBZ reaction shots. JUST GET loving ON WITH IT. My IIMM with Pirates 3 is the final battle, where you have hundreds of pirate ships lined up to fight the entire East India Company navy, with thousands of cannons and men aboard each.... and then they hang back and play slap-dick while only one ship from each side actually fights. Yawn. Soundtrack owned, though.

I was honestly impressed with the first POTC movie when I learned that the sword flipping thing that Legolas does in the beginning is actually him, and not cgi.

rydiafan posted:I liked the last line in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow the best. Almost redeemed that garbage film for me. That movie doesn't really end - it just stops. The writer-director has a very detailed Wikipedia page but his filmography begins and ends with Sky Captain. I have to admit it's still sort of a guilty pleasure of mine because I really enjoy the sort of golden age pulp feel of it (see also: The Rocketeer and Warren Beatty's adaptation of Dick Tracy), and perhaps more significantly, I saw it when I was super into the Crimson Skies game for the Xbox and it's probably the closest we'll ever get to a Crimson Skies movie.

My irrationally irritating moment involving movies is that no shops near me have Arthur Christmas. I like the wrapping-obsessed elf, she is a cute character with a brilliant payoff and plays an amazing part in the climax.

It irrationally irritates me that Kong is apparently going to be the size of a skyscraper in the new movie because they want to set him up to fight the Gareth Edwards Godzilla in the planned Kongzilla Cinematic Universe.

Wheat Loaf posted:It's too bad LXG was Connery's last movie role. I believe he was actually approached by Peter Jackson to play Gandalf before Ian McKellen but declined to do LXG because he'd enjoyed the Allan Quatermain books as a boy. I vaguely remember reading that he turned down Gandalf and then turned down Morpheus from The Matrix, and then signed up for LXG on the basis that these offbeat fantasy-type movies keep making a billion dollars so this one probably will too. Possibly that's an apocryphal story but the narrative is a good one. I'm actually pretty sure he turned down Gandalf because the role needed him to commit to a solid 18 months in New Zealand.

Honestly I've never understood the appeal of the hypothetical alternate universe where Connery was Gandalf. First because McKellen was basically perfect in the role but also, and more importantly, because I legitimately can't think of Sean Connery's last decent performance.

In Game of Thrones, season 1 why the gently caress aren't any of the Stark kids engaged/promised to another family? I mean, poo poo, Rob alone should at least have one kid by now, and yes, Sansa does end up bethrothed to the the bitch prince, but the entire point of political marriages was to make your family stronger. Technically up to Bran, those kids should have all had engagements set already. I seriously doubt Stark was holding out for either of his daughters to marry into royalty, unlike Daddy Lannister.

Well, as you say, Sansa is promised already. Robb is the oldest son and therefore going to take over, so he actually gets to choose who he wants to marry. The rest are probably just a little bit too young to be worrying about marriage, GoT society seems to imply that puberty is the point where you become an adult, what with Sansa only marrying Joffrey after she gets her period.

Before someone brings up Zardoz, he's actually explained that. Basically it was the only script he was offered at the time that wasn't a Bond knock off.

Also I think it's something Ned Stark mentions, in the book at least, that he thinks the kids are "too young", even Robb still, to think about marrying and all. If it hadn't been his buddy the king he would have just said no.

The small upside to Sean Connery playing Gandalf would be that Ian Mckellen would have played Dumbledoore instead of Michael Gambon, who approached the role with virtually no warmth or humor.

Late teens to early 20s was far more common, mainly in the late medieveal period at least. Not being betrothed at all yet does seem a bit off though. GRRM is one of those people who in their effort to create a "realistic world" goes too far the other way.
