Breetai posted:From the third time it happened each subsequent iteration got a louder and louder laugh of derision from the audience. I wish I had seen it with your audience. Before it happened on maybe the third time, I said out loud "if he peels his face off, I am going to be really loving pissed off", and sure enough he did. Instead of the audience laughing, there was a theater wide gasp of surprise. Punctuated by my "loving hell!" I am getting angry all over again, and that was 22 years ago.

To be fair I have been to enough movies that I have seen a joke or two get s solid full theater laugh. I can't remember what movie I was in but I remember the theater was packed and a trailer for The Happening came on and some dude in the back bellowed "IT'S THE TREES!!!!" in full drunk in theater voice and it got drat near a standing ovation from a random group of like 30 that I doubt knew much about the movie. It's rare as hell though.

I accidentally got a crowd to laugh during the preroll one time. They played an ad for a new laptop that went through all the specs and features and then, like they were building up to some huge revolution in personal computing, folded out a dinky little three inch secondary display from the side of the screen. I wasn't trying to be funny, I just blurted out "Oh, now what's the point of that?" a little too loud and everybody else in the theatre must have been thinking the same thing because that got a bigger laugh than anything in the actual movie that night It was not a comedy, but still

Cat rear end Trophy posted:Mission Impossible 2. I can't even remember which of my friends dragged me to it. What at a steaming heap. But it had 2 of my most hated movie issues. Apparently Woo's original cut was 3 1/2 hours. I wish there was some way to see it, even though I doubt it would the movie any better.

I give Mission Impossible 2 credit for killing usage of the mask in the series. Every sequel after has rarely used them. Also speaking of Mission Impossible and irritating moments, I always mention that I hate in MI:III when Cruise is running from a car that explodes behind him, and he flies to the right. (At the 4 min 45 sec mark in video if the time stamp doesn't work) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQQ0MXzChcg

They used the masks pretty well in the most recent M:I sequel. They do a fun gag with it at the beginning and then it's also used for a pretty effective twist later on.

Captain Monkey posted:Face/Off is one of the dumbest, best movies ever made. Although it does that thing I hate in movies and TV where two guys with guns both have them pointed at each other and neither shoots the other. Like...you were both wildly shooting the last five minutes, but now that you have what is a clear shot, you stop to talk. It's not like a sword fight where if you go first you might accidentally leave an opening, or something, for the other. Just loving shoot. It ALMOST makes sense for whichever one was the cop at the time (Travolta?) to not shoot because he's the "good guy" and shoot arrest Cage, not kill him...but there's no reason for Cage's character to not pull a Frank Reynolds and start blastin'.

The entire Vatican break-in in M:I3 revolves around Tom Cruise wearing a Philip Seymour Hoffman mask.

Also the villain uses one of the masks in Ghost Protocol. I think 5 is the only one that doesn't have the mask in it?

Oh yes, dozens of them. The show invented the slow mask pull-off scene. But they're always treated as a big deal that requires a professional to make and apply, and nobody ever just pulls one out of their pocket

MI topped itself as a movie franchise when Henry Cavill reloaded his arms during the bathroom fight in the last one. Also, the game Stranglehold was the best John woo movie ever.

I like History of the World Part I as much as anyone, but to like it more than Young Frankenstein is crazy. That film is almost perfect. (Blazing Saddles is still great, but it doesn't stick the landing.)

A couple years before the Rona I went to see Face/Off in a theater full of people very excited to see Face/Off. That's probably the best environment to watch it.

This sweet scene might change your mind about that trope. https://youtu.be/BovXzH36M0I That escape tactic looks very effective because if you shoot someone that has a gun already pointing at you, you will probably get shot too.

Saw Fast and Furious 9. Might be the dumbest movie I've ever watched (while still being quite entertaining). My complaint is that Roman's existential crisis doesn't get enough time and also while what he is saying is wild, the fact that he has bullet holes in his jacket and yet is unharmed does warrant questioning (I remember seeing him in a rpevious scene with those bullwthples and wondering how they got there without him being hurt).

Any time in any action movie an actor lands from some height in, you know, that pose. Where they have like one knee on the ground and they're looking down but then look up real dramatically. It's like a loving knock-knock joke, or a meme; it's like a reference to something so loving lost to time that it's just referencing the reference, or just doing it because we all don't loving know how not to do it anymore.
