i only just realized that i was supposed to be getting outraged because that can be interpreted as an antitrans statement

i was reading it as more a comment on mens sports paying more than womens sports in part because im not sure how much anyone was even talking about transpeople in sports five years ago and theres zero indication that was his actual intent

the mummy 1999 is basically a perfect movie. the second one falls really far and the third one revolves around the idea that we're supposed to believe that brendan fraser could beat jet li in a fight. also iirc doing his own stunts in those movies is what hosed up his body

the nineties mummy reboot holds up because everyone just went hog wild making a dumb adventure movie with mummies which is also how they made the original

its a fascinating contrast with the tom cruise reboot which deliberately decides against doing anything interesting to instead incorporate the extremely hip and relevant dr jekyll and mr hyde franchise to better set up an expanded universe

you could probably make a decent jekyll and hyde movie if you adapted the story so that hyde is redpilled jekyll and jekyll refuses to do anything about it because he loves feeling like a chad but is too embarrassed to admit it

but alas such a concept does not lend itself well to a shared universe where jekyll is basically an olde tyme hulk

all right american psychos a hot property and were doing nothing with it i need ideas how do we reboot it go

this is a stupid idea sir patrick bateman destroys lives for no reason and moves on to killing people just in case the metaphor wasnt obvious enough

you. fired. next

we pitch disney on a crossover with wall street and have gordon gekko team up with a now repentant patrick bateman to do battle with the true menace to society in this modern era anonymous antifa

the best thing about the tom cruise reboot is how russell crowe calls him "son" and probably some other similar diminutives implying that he's notably the elder in their interactions -- tom cruise is two years older than russell crowe

The modern Jekyll Hyde movie is just milkshake ducking some prominent doctor.
Like learning that Faucci took a serum and at night is an admin at Freep.
He embraces Hyde side by finally admitting he liked the attention he got from being The Guy on rona.

season one was awesome but season two slowed way down. I stopped watching around episode 6 or 7, the team was never together doing poo poo they were all going off on their own being boring with a bunch of side characters. I like it when they’re together

lmao eyyy it was the sixties

quote:

This new personality gives him the self-confidence to pursue one of his students, Stella Purdy. Although she resents Love, she finds herself strangely attracted to him. Buddy wows the crowd with his jazzy, breezy musical delivery and poised demeanor at the Purple Pit, a nightclub where the students hang out. He also mocks a bartender and waitress and punches a student. The formula wears off at inopportune times, often to Kelp's humiliation.

Although Kelp knows that his alternate persona is a bad person, he cannot prevent himself from continually taking the formula as he enjoys the attention that Love receives. As Buddy performs at the annual student dance the formula starts to wear off. His real identity now revealed, Kelp gives an impassioned speech, admitting his mistakes and seeking forgiveness. Kelp says that the one thing he learned from being someone else is that if you don't like yourself, you can't expect others to like you. Purdy meets Kelp backstage, and confesses that she prefers Kelp over Buddy Love.

Eventually, Kelp's formerly timid father chooses to market the formula (a copy of which Kelp had sent to his parents' home for safekeeping), endorsed by the deadpan president of the university who proclaims, "It's a gasser!" Kelp's father makes a pitch to the chemistry class, and the students all rush forward to buy the new tonic. In the confusion Kelp and Purdy slip out of the class. Armed with a marriage license and two bottles of the formula, they elope.

Back when directors used to know how to make things fun without cutting to someone going "so THAT happened" as Jackie narrowly avoids death for the 45th time in a scene

A really fun non Jackie movie from the 80s is millionaires express aka Shanghai express, its on prime video. Sammo hung and Yuen biao doing insane poo poo and then like 40 other characters going at it. Cynthia rothrock has a great fight vs sammo
