Seriously, though. What a bizarre career for Andrew Bryniarski. Chip Shreck, Zangief, Leatherface.

Gatts posted:He MADE that movie, imo. Like, he took it, and elevated it into something people actually remember as entertaining. In a way it works because even if its not exactly a great dramatic tour de force or something he stands out in it and speaks to his talent to entertain. Every time people post or talk about the movie, it feels like he's what they remember or quote out of it. The cast speak glowingly of him. He was really, really diminished by the time he got to set and was on his way out, and they couldn't believe this drained man was going to be the villain. He put on the costume, and transformed. He really is a thousand times better than he needs to be. Timby posted:She's so hilariously miscast as Guile's aide-de-camp but some of the bizarre casting is part of that movie's charm. Like, you've got loving Magua as a retired cage fighter turned arms dealer, Mulan as a reporter / ninja hellbent on revenge, Chip Shreck as a Russian lunkhead ... it's great. Don't forget Die Hard's Agent Johnson (not the other one) as a mountainous boxer, Chattar Lal as Dhalsim and Miklo from 'Blood In, Blood Out' (which is apparently the favourite movie of the El Salvadoran MS-13 gang) as Ken. It has a bizarrely great cast.

Yeah, I got pretty jazzed when I saw Donovan's lame moustache over Brolin's shoulder in a shot. I fully expect the sequel to be the thematic opposite of Sicario, but the trailer still sold me.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Put Brandon Routh as the Atom next to Ant Man and all you'll see is two white guys with brown hair that get their outfits at the same store. It's so bad and honestly looks like they don't give a poo poo, it's like they design the characters so that they only need one male body and one female body for the action figure molds. White people who get cast in certain roles all look pretty much the same.    90% of comic book superheroes are tall muscular men with steely gazes and strong jaws, if you swapped their costumes you'd barely be able to tell the difference in most cases. The comics sometimes even take advantage of that fact and will have one superhero pose as another and they pretty much always pull it off without question. Batman and Superman have been repeatedly swapping costumes and fooling even their closest friends since the 40s. So yeah, the screen versions of Ant Man and The Atom may be nigh indistinguishable which is dumb but that's also incredibly faithful to the source material which is also dumb.

The point isn't "Hollywood white ppl look the same" it's that the point of costuming is conveying a character visually and Ant Man & Atom suggest essentially nothing besides, as u say , "fidelity" . Which in & of itself is what? A well done reference? E: also I was just posting the clip because I don't keep up w/ the cw shows & looking it up/the first thing I find being that anticlimax presented as an epic moment was a classic "lol experience" 4 me.

Far left is Henry Cavill, the rest are Henry Cavill making silly faces. That's what silly faces look like when you're as handsome as noted handsome man, handsome Henry 'handsome' Cavill.

The legends of tomorrow is a funny one, I'm sure it was meant more seriously to start with, with a bit of money spent on some ambitious for rubbish telly action scenes but then everyone just took the piss. So I think they just shrugged and went with it and now every episode is about how cack they all are. It seems to be a sort of holding pattern for all these characters/actors that they have on the books where team members for any given mission are selected wholly by the cheapness with which their special power can be visualised. Usually meaning their most powerful nuclear flying man stays back to dust the cockpit whilst everyone else goes and does some martial arts.

I've had trouble with the Street Fighter movie ever since I learned that M. Bison stands for Mike Bison, as that's the name of the boxer character in the Japanese version (the main bad guy is Vega). I'm ok with seeing it in the games still, but something about actually taking that goofy mix-up (caused by legal issues with putting a likeness of Tyson in the game) and seriously naming that villain M. Bison is just too hilarious to me now.

Street Fighter the Movie is great, especially the fact his name is Bison with a straight face. No one speaking English cares he's named after the star constellation "Vega" in Japanese. Hell, contrast this with Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, which doesn't even get the central metaphor it's trying to be faithful to. Failing at that, this attempt to be faithful is to a particular game in the series which had a very overt emphasis on "looking like a cartoon." So the double whammy of CW comic costumes for all.

Cythereal posted:Yes, there's a few scenes in season two where if you pay attention knives deflect off the armor or don't penetrate. If you watch the two seasons consecutively there's a real tonal shift in how in S1 Matt is always on the brink of dying from knife wounds and beatings and Claire is barely keeping him alive but after he puts on the DD armor he's way more durable and only really gets seriously hurt when he's out of the costume.
