Ferrule posted:Last year Cap was secretly a member of Hydra (so, a nazi) and it pissed lots of people off. He took over the country and imposed facist rule and then like all things turns out he wasn't the real cap and everything is back to status quo. he was the real cap. they both were. that was the point of the "real" cap being in the cube. she rewrote reality but some of consequences scared her so she brought some stuff into her. the nazi cap kills her bff redskull instantly thats why he was in her and cap was in her because they probably had the end planned but nothing in the middle. the middle is also terrible.

Does Mark Ruffalo have a glass eye, though? I feel like that's a significant part of the character.

Mark Ruffalo even had nearly all non-Hulk screentime in Infinity War, though. Even if he did embarrass Tony in front of the wizards.

I don't care what they do with him, I just want to see more ruffalo forever. He's really made both of his marvel roles his own.

Something I love about the Melissa McCarthy movie Spy is that while she is often underestimated by her colleagues she is actually an incredibly competent agent, from being able to talk her agent through a mission, successfully, while literally blind, to inventing an entire new cover just by noticing her surroundings and figuring out the main villainess's personality seconds after her initial cover is blown, while staring down the barrel of her gun. Certainly she goes beyond the bounds of her mission, but no one except for a comedic idiot character thinks she's going to make a mess of things.

Aphrodite posted:She also kicks rear end when she has to fight. I love the reaction from her boss when she pulls up her old training footage: quote:What the gently caress!? This is incredible! I almost put this up on youtube! How are you not in the field?! Also a neat thing is that in most of these kind of movies the real lead henchmen tends to haze the "new guy", thinking he's weak. McCarthy's first thing as the new security detail is to bully the lead henchman into giving her his jacket. She exerts all the dominance. McCarthy is generally great in most stuff form Paul Feig because he knows how to write for her without making her weight the joke. Officer Mullins in The Heat, and her character in Bridesmaids are both equally unhinged yet very very good at their jobs and are even good friends when push comes to shove. My favourite scene in Bridemaids is "Fight for your lovely life!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7WTzrCcwMI BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 19:53 on Jul 14, 2018 |

She's great when she's taking direction from others, not so good when she or her husband are in charge.

You call tell she comes from a sketch background, her characters and premises are funny for about 20 minutes and then her movies become tiresome.

speaking of Marvel and Nazis, if the Fox deal goes through I really want a Magneto vs Red Skull matchup ala Secret Wars in a future movie. Though that wasn't a matchup so much as Magneto terrorizing the gently caress out of a Nazi.

That's also one of the things I like about Brooklyn 99. Andy Samberg's character is actually a good detective. In both cases, it makes the characters a lot more likeable by allowing you to laugh at their antics without that underlying current of wondering how the hell they managed to get and keep their jobs.

They did it once. When he and Jim go on that sales call, and first thing Dwight does is ask to borrow the guy's phone. It's framed as if Dwight is being regular weird Dwight, but at the end he picks it up and it's still on hold with Staples or whoever they're trying to take the client from.

I just got around to watching Coneheads on Netflix and was pleasantly surprised - it's an interesting movie, because it's not so much an alien invasion movie as a story of a family of illegal immigrants trying to carve out a life for themselves, being persecuted by the government even as the civilians quickly grow to like and trust them. Also the ending was pretty good and surprising too, didn't expect to see so much of the Conehead homeworld.

Content: Game of Thrones had a nice bit of foreshadowing that was quite subtle depending on how much Celtic myth you know. Bran means "raven". (Which in turn makes The Crow kind of weird, because it's an abbreviation of Brandon.)

A conehead appeared in Cyndi Lauper's Girl's Just Want To Have Fun music video and that's ancient history as far as kids today are concerned. They even had an animated show in 1983, a full decade before the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imvgc8-nRlM

Coneheads is a prime example of a skit that's outrageously funny for 2 minute intervals, maybe 3 times a season and really bad for any longer length of time. I'm trying to think of a Saturday Night Live skit that you could watch 90 minutes of and all I'm getting is Waynes' World. The Blues Brothers was another. But Wayne's World still wins on the strength of a decent sequel don't watch the Blue Brothers 2000

The Wikipedia article says it opened in only 3 cities, but I'm pretty sure it only played in Alabama. So considering the content matter and the state it played, It's Pat may have actually over-performed. Talk about a year of highs and lows for the main actress.
