The Rundown is known as Welcome to the Jungle* in a whole lot of countries, so I was confused the first time it was brought up. *Not to be confused with the comedy starring JVCD that was released a decade later.

I like him but I agree with the poster earlier who said he deserves a better career. Also has it really already been so long since Man from UNCLE? It feels like that was only a season or two ago, but it came out in August 2015? I wanted to see it but couldn't get a baby-sitter.

But, of course, Chief Justice Roberts told us that racism is over, which is why southern states raced to re-enact voter suppression laws about two seconds after the Shelby County decision.

They really tried to make him the focal point of the American Pie series with American Wedding, but that one was not a critical success. I do like him as a comedic actor though, and wish he'd get more work. He is quite good in Goon and Role Models.

Atomic Blonde looks so loving good. It's cool to see a film go in a completely opposite direction to the Bourne films. I've enjoyed them, but it's just cool to have a bit of variety.

Casimir Radon posted:White Lucille Ball and Latino Desi Arnez was probably not all that hard to sell since they actually were married, and neither of them was black. It actually was! I Love Lucy's basically an adaptation of a radio show starring Ball where her husband was a white man, but they wanted to adapt it with Desi Arnaz in the husband role. CBS wasn't into it, and they had to form Desilu and produce the pilot with their own money.

Violator posted:I always thought in addition to Crank 1 and 2, that the first Transporter movie was Statham's big breakout role and considered a good action movie all things considered. I love Crank but Crank 2 felt like it was trying way too hard to be a catchphrase/meme machine ("gently caress YOU CHELIOS!"  ) and Statham's performance seemed to suffer a lot from that. He was a lot more fun as a no-nonsense hitman who was completely in over his head in the first movie while in two he seemed way more mean-spirited with the way he was hollering slurs at the Asian gangsters and taking pleasure in sadistic poo poo like shoving shotguns up dude's asses.parallelodad posted:Statham was fantastic in Spy, which is probably also Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy's best film. Spy is so fantastic. It feels a lot like Observe and Report in that its a comedian intentionally playing against type yet nobody watched it because by that point said comedian was so over-saturated that they assumed it was just another "wacky fat person falls over and yells" movie.

Spy made a quarter of a billion dollars, what are you talking about? It's actually even better than her playing against type, she plays about 4 characters, mirroring the lovely archetypes women tend to get shoved into in genre fiction. First she's forced to be the dowdy, mousey type, then she's sexed up, then she's a way overcompensating tough guy archetype, and finally, she's herself.

It's the only thing Paul Feig's ever done that I've liked. It's his only film I've felt like it actually had a script.

Also they weren't quite the first to use a multiple-camera setup to record their shows in front of a live studio audience but they pretty much perfected the technique and set the standard for the rest of the industry. Ball was the most powerful woman in Hollywood for quite a while, she was massively influential on the industry.

I wanted to poke my head in here and deflate that UNCLE news. Armie Hammer said he got the first film's writer to throw together a script for a sequel that he would then shop around. I can see why a studio would want to keep Armie happy in case he ever actually breaks out, but there's a 0 percent chance they'll greenlight an UNCLE sequel when a) the first film lost WB tens of millions on a low estimate and b) his costar has already jumped ship to MI:6, the franchise that sucked up most of UNCLE's potential audience.
