Apparently it's also in Digimon: The Movie. I actually saw that movie as a child, and while I don't remember that song, I do vividly remember "One Week" blaring out of nowhere!

Shrek does end with like 4 musical numbers because if you need to stretch out a kids movie, put in a song and dance number. Also doing a cover of I am a Believer means your career is over. Digimon movie had a Len cover of Kids In America. The Video is hilariously cheap and bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn7zPdizrqk Maybe your career is over when you do a cover of an older song for a kids movie? twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jan 12, 2019 |

"All Star" was definitely the at the end of Rat Race and I'm pretty sure it was at the end of Mystery Men but it was the opening song in Shrek, which ended with Smash Mouth's cover of "I'm a Believer". I distinctly remember it being in Digimon: The Movie but the weird thing I remember most clearly about that movie was how it had an introductory animated short in which the characters from Angela Anaconda, one of the strangest kids' cartoons of my childhood, all go to the movie and become Digimon to stop their nemesis from that show from cutting in line. Re: superhero movie music, I think it's funny that Elfman was hired for Dick Tracy and Darkman on the strength of his Batman '89 score and the music in both of those are almost the same as the Batman stuff. Now I want to watch Dick Tracy again but my dvd is on the other side of the Irish Sea.

I didn't see Digimon when it came out but just happened to catch the Barenaked Ladies montage scene recently and it's awkwardly out of place, but uh what the gently caress is a Rat Race and why does everyone in this thread have a photographic memory of its end credits?

Rat Race ends with the cast arriving at a Smash Mouth concert and stage diving while they perform "All Star", which means it is possibly the only diegetic use of "All Star" in any movie.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Darkman is so drat good, let’s have a Darkman derail (rerail?) to cleanse us all of this Smash Mouth talk So it happened because Raimi wanted to do a Batman movie, but Burton had beaten him to the punch and he couldn't get the Shadow or the Phantom, so he decided he'd do his own. It's a great homage to pulp heroes, which obviously had a bit of a vogue trying to catch some of the Batman '89 action, but if you look at how much money was put into them versus how much each of them earned, Darkman was probably the most successful. Didn't make as much as Dick Tracy but it cost a whole lot less to make and sell. It wasn't until fairly recently that I realised Peyton Westlake's name must be an homage to Donald E. Westlake (and "Peyton Westlake" itself is a very 1930s pulp adventurer secret identity name, along the lines of Richard Wentworth or Lamont Cranston). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbdeAhpIPhE

Inspector Gadget, the 1999 movie that by all accounts paved way to Iron Man if you think about it, also had All Star in it, apparently.

One thing you can do about people having opinions is be angry or confused. Another thing you can do is rejoice at getting to hear something so completely insane that you can appreciate in that moment its amazing uniqueness. Like a snowflake or a fingerprint.

I can't believe you guys are arguing over theme music when some guy got it in one like 3 pages back. It's John L. Williams Superman. End of discussion.

Just watched Dick Tracy for the first time since it came out in theatres. It’s really very...lurid. It seems more akin to Who Framed Roger Rabbit than any comic book movie (and that comparison doesn’t do Dick Tracy any favours). You can tell Beatty and Pacino are having the times of their lives, and it’s just stupid how many insanely big names they got to be in this silly cartoon movie.

Reports that all X-men and related movies from Fox are canceled after Dark Phoenix/New Mutants. Not surprising really.

That movie is so weird because it was a huge deal at the time, starred a ton of big stars, got 7 academy award nominations, and then it seems like it was almost completely memory-holed.

Seriously though!!! I saw that poo poo in the theaters, had a bunch of the merchandise, and then a couple years ago someone mentions it in this thread and I'm like "holy poo poo, what happened to the last 25 years?!"

I think the public just wasn’t ready for Dick Tracy. The studio wanted another Batman, but Tracy was maybe a little too camp. I’m really surprised Netflix hasn’t picked up a Dick Tracy series.

Had anything else been announced or rumored besides those two? Gambit has basically been dead for a while, and I think there was some extremely vague talk after Logan came out about maybe doing an X-23/Laura movie?

I’m really surprised Netflix hasn’t picked up a Dick Tracy series. I think that any future adaptation of Dick Tracy should lean hard in the same direction as the movie, but I feel like, the way things are adapted today, they'd approach it in a way that uses words like "grounded" and "gritty". Part of the fun is that it's in this garish cartoon world but Al Pacino still gives Paul Sorvino THE BATH.
