Exploration is ill-advised.
I still like the xkcd theory that Wiseau is that one aeroplane hijacker who got away with a ton of money and successfully reinvented himself as a Hollywood-adjacent weirdo.

1. Irish Madea but somehow worse, very popular BBC show in both UK and Ireland, and trades in the kind of anti-comedy that makes you want to start hitting the TV to be more funny like Homer.

2. Idk but whatever this is is much worse than mere death

She's apparently 6'1½, which is 99th percentile +. But hey I'm 6'6" which is about the same for guys and it's pretty rad so where's my movie

6’1 or 2 really isn’t it that much taller than the average for guys in the US. 7’ tall and they’d maybe have something to say.

In the second Jack Reacher there’s a teenage girl who they don’t really make any effort to make it seem like Cruise is any taller than her.

I don’t remember what movie it was that they made Emilio Estavez’s costar walk in a trench because she was slightly taller than him.

Police Story is everything.

Up to the abrupt cut to Jackie Chan singing over the credits/"making of" footage the split second the villian is taken out.

Every thread should be the police story thread.

Fun fact about it's title. It's called that because every time Jackie started shooting a new movie, there'd be ten imitators out before he finished his lengthier, more demanding shoot. You can see something similar now with all the Ip Man films chasing Donnie Yen money. But if it's just called Police Story? Then what do we copy? There hadn't been many kung fu cop movies at that point.

It's the most Jackie Chan movie. I don't know if it's his best work, since he just has such a gigantic catalogue of insanely good work, but it's the one that, to me, best exemplifies what made him unique. Also, the evil lawyer actually does a really good job and they put quite a bit of work into the court scenes from a lawyering perspective.

Police Story rules at least through First Strike, I don't really care for the two reboots. Police Story 3: Supercop is the best because Michelle Yeoh.



Who wants another sequel to A Christmas Story? Except this one actually stars Peter Billingsley, who is also producing.

quote:

...

Titled A Christmas Story Christmas, the feature intended for HBO Max will be directed by Clay Kaytis, who already tackled the snowy holiday season with The Christmas Chronicles for Netflix and has a script by Nick Schenk, the writer behind recent Clint Eastwood movies such as Gran Torino and The Mule, sitting under the leg lamp.

Billingsley is producing with Vince Vaughn via the duo’s Wild West Picture Show Productions.

...

While the original movie followed Ralphie, a nine-year old boy who desperately wanted a Red Ryder BB rifle and was set in 1940, the new story will take place in the 1970s and sees an adult Ralphie return to his house on Cleveland Street to deliver his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had growing up.

The studio is hoping to recreate the same real-life tone of the first movie to show the now-father reconnect with childhood friends, reconcile the passing of his Old Man, and callbacks to the initial film.

Production begins February in Hungary.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/a-christmas-story-sequel-peter-billingsley-returns-to-star-1235078399/

Some outlets claim Julie Hagerty will play Ralphie's mom but this is not confirmed as far as I can tell. No clue on if they will get the other child stars back, as far as I know only Zack Ward regularly acts, and the flagpole kid became a porn star and then did advocacy work for former child stars.
