Speaking of Michael Douglas, my wife and I watched Romancing The Stone last week because she had never seen it. It actually holds up surprisingly well, and both Douglas and Kathleen Turner turn in some really fun and charming performances. But holy poo poo. I had completely forgotten about the villain graphically getting his hand bitten off by a crocodile. Ah, the good old 80's-era PG rating.

It should've been a watershed moment for the concussion/CTE issue but the WWE did a really efficient and thorough job of scrubbing him from their history so nothing happened. I remember at the time the media were focusing on "roid rage" (which is much more short term). Understanding of CTE was still years away.

Mute is okay and would have been better with the whole character of Duck taken out. I don't think the way he's handled is terrible in the end, but his presence lends the movie a really uncomfortable tone that doesn't otherwise quite fit it.

He's got good reason to be bitter: https://twitter.com/jonrog1/status/967239086376300544 He's not exaggerating, he got a story credit on Transformers a few years after Catwoman but apart from that he's been working in TV ever since, that was the end of his cinema career.

Leverage is always nice to revisit (although I wish it were still on Netflix); I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it, considering Timothy Hutton is generally a complete non-starter for me.

He also had a ton of producer credits from 1970 onwards that come to a screeching halt in 1997. He's attempting to do another V reboot. Both the TV series and especially the 2009 series with Elizabeth Mitchell left a bad taste in his mouth. I'm not sure if it's a going to be a reboot or a sequel. He wrote a sequel novelization and it reads a bit like proto-Half Life 2, with the Visitors expanding their occupation and sucking up so much water that the sea level is dropping. Snowglobe of Doom posted:I was meaning to write a big effortpost ages ago about how superhero movies have a tendency to end careers but I never got around to it. I'm wondering what's Michael Bay's future post-Transformers. A large part of his career is that franchise (5 feature films out of 13 in is a lot, not to mention it was a literal decade) and having Hasbro throw it aside and rebooting it after Bumblebee seems like it's a waste of his life. That and the Bayformer movies racked in the money up until this last one, but were critically lambasted and loaded with audience regret (trying to figure out a term for 'enjoyed the movie in theaters but outside of it, realizes it's bad').

I'd almost say the Bayformer movies are about the spectacle. They're big and loud, like July 4th fireworks; people go see them every year and ooh and aah over them, but later on, realize they've seen it before and it's not quite as exciting as it was at the time.
