mng posted:Sin City is great. It has a cannibalistic hobbit and Rutger Hauer getting his eyes pushed into his skull (probably). Yeah, Sin City is open about its trashiness in a way Boondock Saints is not. Also there’s a segment starring Clive Owen, so it’s got that going for it, which is nice.

I watched Predator on the plane last week. The original one. No subtle movie moment, that's just a really great film.

The subtleness of Predator is that since Shane Black is involved, the movie takes place around Christmas.

Okay I'm gonna sit back down with Sin City, maybe it was me. Always did think That Yellow Bastard was the weakest segment.

The Yellow Bastard is the weakest as it was the weakest story Frank Miller wrote. I haven't seen A Dame to Kill For but the comic was pretty good.

If you really want to hate a Frank Miller comic based film, watch The Spirit. In it Frank Miller takes a boring comic from the 30s(?), and tries to make it edgy by filming it similarly to the way he did teh Sin City movies, and adding whores. It's really bad.

My favorite movie, the one I go back and watch year after year, despite knowing it by heart; the movie that is like a comfort blanket for me... is The Hobbit. Not the Peter Jackson monstrosities, the warm, cozy, lovingly crafted 1977 animated version

- Nobody actually refers to Leslie Neilson’s character as ‘Shirley’ at any point in the movie. It was merely a reference to the character misunderstanding the word “surely”.

The thread has heard this before, but the entire thing is a direct parody of a movie from the fifties, and it's so close that the producers had to buy the rights to the original. It cost them $2500. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-v2BHNBVCs It's very unsubtle, except for the fact that nobody saw the original

The only good thing I'll say about it that isn't Samuel Jackson's entire character is that whenever it's a Sin City ripoff, it's just in The Spirit's head. Whenever there's another character around, he looks like a dumbass and he's bumbling about. He only gets the hero treatment in his head, and as soon as someone else is paying attention to him, he's basically a comedy character. It would have been a lot better if they weren't ripping off Sin City's entire visual style for no reason too.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Up until recently, I thought Geena Davis played Older Dottie in the present (the whole story is a flashback), but no; that was Lynn Cartwright, with Geena Davis' voice. She just looked so much like her, it was nuts.  I saw that movie in the theater, not to mention a bunch of times since, and I never ever thought for one second that that could be anyone but Geena Davis with some good makeup. It had to have been the voice. Slippery posted:The red zone/white zone/divorce routine is a callback to a similar although less humorous argument in the original novel The most interesting thing about the entire red zone/white zone routine is that ZAZ hired the same two people who made those announcements at LAX at the time.

poo poo you're right it was abortion, not divorce, good call. Also yeah, I didnt mean to imply Aiport inspired Airplane. Airport was an Arthur Haley novel (he wrote a few similar ones including one about the auto industry I have here somewhere) and was part of a late 70s trend of disaster movies/lame novels. Airplane! references this trend as well obviously. I know you know that stuff, I just felt like typing it I guess

Stephen Baldwin seems like a putz IRL, but his performance in The Usual Suspects was great. Everyone's was. Dan Hedaya is good in it. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, but everyone in front of the camera did a fine job.

I hope it sticks.
