Didn't he flood out wakanda a few years back? Always thought that was impressive considering it's supposed to be an inner section of the continent. Kinda like flooding out Kansas or Ohio.

Norton is a really good actor and I liked Incredible Hulk a lot. ... I have an IIMM. In True Romance, Michale Rappaport's character is reading for a TV show, TJ Hooker. In his audition, he's not only horrible, but he curses during his lines. "Where the gently caress did these guys come from?" It's a prime time TV show starring William Shatner, he drops an F bomb and still lands the role even though he's got the script in front of him and it obviously doesn't say "gently caress" on it. Maybe that's the joke? I could have bought it if he were merely terrible but he was bad and also flubbed that line.

TGG posted:I'm wondering about how little credit Steel gets for being a black led superhero movie at least a year or two before Blade. I haven't seen the Steel movie in AGES and I don't remember it being great, however people saying Blade was the first black superhero in films are a bit off base. poo poo I remember seeing Meteor Man in theaters and loving the cast, and as I'm typing this I realize I saw Spawn in theater and I know for sure I saw that before I saw Blade and did not hate it. Blade was easily the best of that lot but there were attempted black superhero movies that just had worse writing and actors that showed you could at least do something with a comic book character. I was going to say that this is Pootie Tang erasure but it apparently came out 3 years after Blade.

I genuinely don't know a better way to describe reb brown to someone other than the guy from that one famous episode of MST3K. I think that is genuinely the most well known thing he has done.

Yeah but Meteor Man was 93, and it has Frank Gorshin AND Luther Vandross in it. There's so much about it that doesn't make sense, but I can't help loving it just a bit.

flavor.flv posted:Oh, they had Hulk. The Ed Norton Hulk movie was supposed to be the beginning of the shared universe, with RDJ coming in after the credits to connect the movies together I can understand being anxious as an actor because there's so much crazy poo poo behind the scenes that can turn a winning project right into a razzie.

Batman Forever dumpstered both Billy Dee Williams and Marlon Wayans for what were surely entirely logical reasons. More importantly the naming conventions for the latter two sequels are hosed up.

Was looking over movies that the Friends stars did, and found this horrible thing called The Switch. Jennifer Aniston is your average every day girl with a male friend who super wants her but she doesn't want him. She decides to have a kid via artificial insemination, and has a goddamn party for it. Male friend is bummed he didn't get asked to be the sample donor. He ends up drunk in the bathroom with the sample and you can see where this is going because it's a romcom. He spills the sample, panics, and jerks himself off and leaves his own semen in the sample cup with no one the wiser until he sees the kid about seven years later and it looks just like him. Of course he has to tell her, and while she is upset, not enough not to marry him and become a "real" family. I remember close to a dozen loving movies on Lifetime, growing up, with the same premise, but it was always the IVF doctor who did the subbing with his own poo poo. and it was not played for cute laughs or realizing how much you super love the dude years after you decide you're better as just friends. It was played for loving horror. Which it is. Maybe it's not as bad as the Revenge of the Nerds costume poo poo (I am still wondering who greenlit that) but it is on par with the Wonder Woman 1984 insanity.

There is legitimately no reason why he uses/appears in her neighbor's body. I don't understand why they just didn't bring him back to life with that magic wish stone, I don't think any other wishes made had that kind of weird element to it.

Also the scene in which a woman physically retaliates against a stranger who attempts to at the very least physically and very likely sexually assault her after already having also made an attempt earlier in the movie is used as the turning point that signifies her status as a villain.

There's probably books to be written on how romcoms in particular and stock romantic subplots in general romanticise and idealise all kinds of incredibly hosed up behaviour. At the very least, certainly a lot of 'You only have exactly one True Love and unless you obsessively and exclusively pursue them until they finally realise you are The One you will be alone and miserable for the rest of your life'.

muscles like this! posted:That was part of the message of the first Hotel Transylvania movie. Where you get one true love and it doesn't count unless it is love at first sight. You only get one Zing. Which was a weird part of the third where Dracula gets another True Love. And the fact the kids, as in like prek/grade school kids, the girl wants to see if they zing and the boy runs off. Romcoms are poison unless done right, and so few are. Didn't they also make the term Friend Zone which is insanely seized by the incels as some kind of power chant.

Megillah Gorilla posted:That Chris Pratt space movie, Passengers, comes to mind. I mean it's a little more complicated than that (he basically suffers a near-suicidal breakdown), but oooof that movie's premise is so rough. They really should've avoided that whole issue entirely and maybe had something where his attempts to break into the bridge cause the malfunction (possibly because he was accessing her manifest at the time or something) rather than it being a direct action on his part, because asking the audience to accept that she'd just fall in love with him after what was essentially a death sentence is hosed up.

Here's a question though - in a situation where the ship recognizes that poo poo is breaking down, why aren't there emergency tech personnel on board that are woken up whenever something goes wrong, even if it's just a 'well, we checked the systems and it's minor enough for the computer to fix it' - or, in this specific case, to fix malfunctioning pods and such.

I really like a couple of 90’s Matthew Broderick movies for avoiding this pitfall: The Night We Never Met and Addicted To Love. Not high art or anything, but they both have that to recommend them.
