Also the movie is all about doing original things, now here is an extended sequence that is just referencing other franchises.

1966   "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" is a better line than anything Heath Ledger said in all of Dark Knight or indeed at all

Ryan Reynolds appearing in a movie usually annoys me. Because he just plays a variation of Ryan fuckin Reynolds and if you're not on board with that, you're going to have a bad time. I thought Free Guy was released months ago?

A Knight's Tale is great because not only Heath Ledger's fine performance, but ol' Allen Two-Dicks, Mark "King Robert Baratheon" Addy, and Paul "My first job in the MCU was an off-screen voice and then I got suckered into hours and hours of makeup a day to play a real part" Bettany. Oh, and Laura "gently caress you, Lydia, you piece of poo poo, I'm glad Walt gave you Ricin poisoning, you're a murdering psychopath who's no better than Walt or those Nazi fucks" Fraser.

One actually IIMM in this otherwise flawless movie - when the evil Sir Ademar is preparing his secret murder-lances (the tip is made of spun sugar and boot-black, hiding a sharp wooden point inside) , the servant girl explaining it to him clearly isn't a native English speaker, and puts the emphasis too hard and in the wrong place. So she delivers the line like: "it's nothing But spun sugar and Boot-Black" That sentence does not need a dramatic pause!

Well you're the first person I've ever heard call it 'bland' I saw Tudyk at a convention one time and he was really cheerful and enthusiastic talking about the movie, despite it being several years old at the time.

HopperUK posted:Well you're the first person I've ever heard call it 'bland' I like the bit where Bettany's Chaucer gives this whole speech right before a duel and no one responds until Mark Addy starts clapping and then everyone starts clapping and cheering. And I like it even more that it turned out none of the extras in the crowd spoke English and actually legitimately didn't understand what Bettany was saying or that it was it was a cue until Mark Addy started cheering.

But yeah, they cast the third and final Mountain actor for his size, not acting ability...and also I think the first Mountain actor who was in one whole scene in the first season and had one line? And the second actor was in more scenes, but still didn't have a lot of lines, but wasn't "hefty" enough to play the part, really...just tall.

My favourite part of Knight's Tale is when he finds out that the Black Prince is his opponent, so they go to forfeit and you can see the black prince's face just drop, and then Ledger decides to charge in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfvQo3gpuLE Just got the feels, I dunno.

DrBouvenstein posted:Eh, I'd cut him some slack, he'd just been slashed a half dozen times by a poison spear. I'm going to go ahead and say discussing which actors that played a character doesn't really count as spoilers. Anyway Halfthor was big but was like 20 and looked it. They also shot him from way below so he looked like a fairly normal "imposing" guy. The first actor was probably the best match overall, he was large and intimidating but also pulled off the grizzled thing well and didn't look like a kid. I'm not sure they even referred to the character by name when it was the second actor, and since he looked and acted nothing like the previous one a lot of people didn't realize he was supposed to be the same guy. I think with the first actor he left to play the main orc in The Hobbit but then got CGed over anyway, and D&D wouldn't rehire him presumably because they are petty like that.

I think that was Manu Bennett from Spartacus. An equally beefy, but shorter actor. I'd heard rumors they got rid of the S1 Mountain because he kept pushing for more screen time and trying to insert his own tragic backstory and soliloquies for the character. No clue if it's true, but it's funny as hell.

I don't really consider this a spoiler, but I'll use the tags regardless. Somehow they made a Batman movie (which was surprisingly good) where he doesn't throw a batarang. Like, at all. He does use it but like, that's where the "rang" part comes from in the name. He throws em at people like a boomerang. Just...  Still, like I said, surprisingly decent movie. Pattinson did a pretty great job. Only real IIMM for me was when he was spying on Selina, the shot from inside her apartment had him looking like he was 6 foot from her window instead of across the street. Just looked weird, and she should have noticed him. Plus there's a scene where he's watching and listening to someone explain something and he's got this weird Forest Whittaker eye going on.

I read somewhere that people are pissed about The Boy in the Striped Pajamas because it shows the Nazi family as victims, and bits about how kids were never allowed to wander off in the camps, etc. But the movie never claims to be a true story, any more than Jojo Rabbit does, so has Jojo been hit by the same stuff?

I think anyone with half a brain can make click-bait from that. Same with Hunters and the chess scene. You can make hyperbolic poo poo that fictionalizes the holocaust* or sympathize like in The Book Thief (read but not watched). I haven't seen TBitSP because that seems a little rough. I saw Schindler's List when I was pretty young and don't really want to revisit that for entertainment purposes.  *Tarantino apparently gets a pass because he's black

Non-irritated moment. World on Fire. Good old, rocksteady Helen Hunt trying to get word back to the patriotic states of America and freedom that things are not good in Poland. Sure it's irrelevant today, the fear that PoC and queers and everyone that doesn't live up to the standards of Hitler's

Here's a piece from The Holocaust Exhibition and Learning Centre explaining the problems with The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: https://holocaustlearning.org.uk/latest/the-problem-with-the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas/ I haven't seen Jojo Rabbit, but I do remember some critics thinking that it was hugely misguided.

It's in part a matter of perspective and how the Jewish characters are treated. Jojo Rabbit makes a point of fleshing out Elsa's character, and she's the one who generally shows agency and moves the story forward. While the viewer sees things through Jojo's perspective, it is her story as much as it's Jojo's. In the movie's ending, her liberation is the defining key moment. TBitSP meanwhile reduces the titular boy to barely more than a prop. Shmuel exists pretty much only to tell Bruno (the Nazi soldier's son) about stuff. The end is about Bruno sneaking into the camp, Bruno being killed, then Bruno's parents being sad about it. It's a Holocaust story that treats Jewish people as a sideshow.
