I feel like it must be from a video game or something. I saw online said it sounds like a Danny DeVito line which would also make sense. What a thrill.

Yeah given this has been an internet hunt for at least a decade now, anything big like Simpsons or HH would’ve been worked out within a few days.

I also think it might’ve came from a commercial for a movie that was edited that way for the commercial as a joke and that’s why it doesn’t “exist”.

For sure, the Simpsons Shitposting account wouldn't even make sense without assumed encyclopedic knowledge of one-off jokes from random episodes.

I always hate that part of Batman Forever when Batman crashes through the skylight and Riddler goes to Two-Face "your entrance was good..." then Batman lands and flips over the heads of the assembled henchmen and Riddler continues "...his was better." Or at least that's how it went in the trailer. In the movie he says it all uninterrupted but having that beat in the middle really makes the line.

It's gotta be from a commercial or something else ephemeral to be so widely-recognized but impossible to find. For what it's worth, when I picture it in my head, I hear a snotty kid saying it, like Mouse from The Matrix.

Red Ryder posted:Can I watch Through the Olive Trees without having seen the rest of the director's trilogy or will it not be as meaningful? I recently rewatched Mark Cousins' The Story of Film series and am really interested into getting into 90's Iranian movies. If someone has a better suggestion for a movie to dip my toes into that scene with, let me know. Probably too late, but I watched Through the Olive Trees first, not knowing it was part of a trilogy, and found it a very rewarding experience. It very much stands on its own, even if certain scenes are enhanced by knowing what came before. That said, I'd recommend the first part of the Koker trilogy, Where Is My Friend's Home, as entry point. It's a very accessible story that hides a lot of nuances and reveals quite a bit about Iranian society, while still remaining universal in its message. Easily one of the best films about childhood out there.

Watches Ip Man for the first time. Why is the movie so well regarded? The acting is terrible, the plot is nonsensical, anything that wasn't a fight seen was cringe inducing. Do people just love the action and give everything else a pass?

I don't think Ip Man is particularly well-regarded. It has its moments and Donnie Yen obviously receives a lot of praise for his skills, but you don't hear people mention it in the same breath as genre classics like The 36th Chamber of the Shaolin or Drunken Master II.

I thought I had hear a bunch of goons speak positively about the movie. The IMDB and Rotten Tomato scores are also insanely high for the movie. I know those can be skewed but I seriously would've expected it to have like 5/10 stars instead of 8/10 on IMDB. It was so bad.Mierenneuker posted:What, you didn’t like how it ended like a glorious Chinese propaganda movie?! I like how the actual historical person was a policeman that didn't fight the Japanese in a martial arts tournament and in fact fled to Hong Kong to escape the Communists.

I have got the impression that 2005's The Weather Man is not particularly well regarded these days. Why is that? What's wrong with it? Maybe this is just some online cranks I was reading or something.

Weather Man was great. Dunno how it holds up. I’m guessing it’s because people think Nic Cage is only enjoyable ironically. Bad Lieutenant 2 PoCNO is incredible.

feedmyleg posted:I remember a handful of folks vouching for Weather Man at the time, but the general public seemed to regard it with a big ol' "eh." It was the year after the success of National Treasure(people forget how that movie was actually a big hit), and so that along with Cage's previous reputation as an action blockbuster guy I think led people to be disappointed when he followed that up with Lord of War and then The Weatherman. Cage actually kept his A-list status going for longer than people usually remember. He had a terrible year in 2006 but then Ghost Rider did ok and the National Treasure sequel made close to 500 million(!). Then in 2010 he was mostly praised for his performance in Kick rear end, so really it wasn't until this decade that he ended up forced into taking bad projects due to his financial situation.

Probably. It's been a while since I watched that documentary, but bikini = sex sounds about right. I was more surprised at how the guy who edited the movies claimed there was no way anybody would be able to tell something had been cut out.

Also it's been awhile since I've seen Lebowski, but while Tara Reid is a minor character, she's vital for the whole plot so cutting her out entirely from a scene probably collapses the entire framework.

It was just Brandt and the Dude standing outside with the camera cutting back and forth and Brandt looking more and more uncomfortable each time. It probably worked better than stranger in the Alps.

Yeah, that's the scene where she's in a bikini. Cutting that means when Jeff Bridges is asked to give the "kidnappers" the money he's never met Mrs. Lebowski.
