if thats the same couple, shouldnt they be x + 20 years old if thats one xmas per movie? its like how Conan in Detective Conan should have aged back to normal even with multiple (muders/cases) per day. PhazonLink has a new favorite as of 16:46 on Mar 24, 2023 |

I had an uncle in a Wrangler commercial once years ago and he had the same experience but the other way around. They were shooting at night/pre-dawn in Montana and it got stupid cold randomly the day of shooting, but the scene was them all working hard outside and sweating in slow motion and stuff, but "it got cold enough that you could see our breath with the lighting, so we all had to keep ice chips in our mouths to cut that" which is fun movie magic.

Vandar posted:That's the thing. Yeah their defining trait is their sameness to the other couples, which is different than being the same as the other couples. It's a nuanced but important distinction. On the other hand I'm pretty sure you could take most of those movies, divide them up into their 3 act segments, randomly mix them up and air them and a lot of viewers might not notice any difference.

ER, Season 11: Dr. Barnett hooks up repeatedly with a girl (played by an 18-year-old Kat Dennings) who turns out to be a 14-year-old eighth-grader. He gets beaten up by her abusive father but ultimately saves her from his wrath by giving her money and a ticket to San Francisco to live with her sister. At no point does he reckon with any sort of psychological issue that would presumably come up for most adults if they learned that they had been unknowingly loving a middle schooler. Just singularly focused on the legal ramifications (for some reason the dad never went to the authorities about a chomo doctor). He goes right back to being a lothario soon after.

And then, in true ER fashion he got his own legs blown off and yeeted to rural Kentucky or some poo poo, which is the kharmic price for his crimes.

He actually never slept with Neela while Gallant was deployed. They lived together and had exactly one scene of on screen sexual tension before she pulled the plug on their roommate situation. I only just got to the IED episode so haven’t seen beyond that but most of the time he’s presented as kind of a lovable idiot type until that point. But also the only main cast members that were ever treated by the writers as outright pieces of poo poo at all times were Romano and Morris.

His main character trait in his first couple of seasons is that he also moonlights as a musician and wears Rock Band tees under his labcoat. The even bigger early 00s douchebag is Malucci and his frosted tips.

This is less aging badly than something that was always bad, but I watched the recut version of Godfather 3 last night and I just cannot comprehend why Coppola decided to have first cousins horny for each other as a major plot point. And casting his daughter as one of the cousins. And having the dialog constantly remind you that they're cousins. Its so uncomfortable and gross that it tanks what otherwise could have been a decent if not great conclusion to the trilogy.

Not that he couldn't have chosen better, but Sofia Coppolla was a last minute decision. Wynonna Ryder dropped out like a week before filming was scheduled to begin. The world got the better of the deal though, since Ryder brought the script for Dracula to him since she really wanted to work with him.

Its so uncomfortable and gross that it tanks what otherwise could have been a decent if not great conclusion to the trilogy. It's just terrible on every level. Most egregiously, there's twenty years of pop-culture Godfather bullshit affecting every single aspect of the production, meaning the cast simultaneously understand they're making THE FINAL PART OF THE LEGENDARY GODFATHER TRILOGY and need to be respectful of the source material, while simultaneously ignoring the cliches that the originals have built up since they were released. Sofia Coppola is extremely poor, but I'm not convinced that Winona Ryder would have been an improvement, since the part is also poorly conceived. While I have enjoyed Andy Garcia and Joe Mantegna in other things, they're totally unconvincing here. Also, they could've gotten Robert Duvall back by paying him a bit more, but we ended up with George Hamilton instead. Coppola brought all this upon himself really, after Apocalypse Now and One From The Heart it's a frigging miracle any studio would ever work with him again. As a result, he had about a quarter of the time and a third of the money he really needed to do a third part justice.

The biggest problem overall is that everything that needed to be said was already said in the first movie. Even the second one is only carried by great performances covering how the past and future parts don't really work together and the story doesn't have a lot more to say. It also suffers badly for not getting Clemenza's actor back. Still I feel like there has to have been a better way to do a story about Michael making one last desperate attempt to become legitimate but still unable to escape everything he's done than what happened in 3.

Here's an idea: Remake godfather part 3. Let it join the pantheon of movies like Terminator and the Halloween movies where the sequels are remade over and over and when it bombs they just make another one trying to get it "right." It doesn't work? Make it again until people agree this is the one we are kind of okay with and then keep going. What do you mean this idea hasn't aged well? marshmallow creep has a new favorite as of 18:26 on Apr 3, 2023 |

It’s been decades since it came out so it’s weird to call it this, but Godfather 3 had too much late-stage Pacino.

We need to keep remaking Godfather 3 but always have Al Pacino as Michael so we can see what the current zero fucks given nothing to prove Dunkaccino/Game Awards Pacino would bring to the role.

My understanding is that Godfather III basically exists because the studio wanted it- Coppola and the others had done some work on potential ideas in the 80s, mostly playing on the intensifying drug wars, but it was the failure of Tucker that made him go hat in hand back to the studio and so he had no real control over things like paying Robert Duvall enough money or waiting for an actor to become available after Ryder took ill, etc. It's basically correct that Apocalypse Now and One From The Heart put him in a bind- and killed American Zoetrope- but he did have a comeback with Peggy Sue Got Married before Tucker had him on shaky ground again. I actually enjoy Godfather III (and honestly most of Coppola's 80s output, little of it was commercially successful but Cotton Club and the two Hinton adaptations are pretty enjoyable), but yeah it was compromised by a number of forces. It works for me as a picture of Michael Corleone's final and complete failure- he sold his soul to "protect his family" but couldn't even do that- but it's not up to the first two. Of course another thing that doesn't get talked about is the death of Coppola's eldest son sometime during that same decade, which you have to imagine made him rethink his priorities.

The Seinfeld look I think that most people would remember that would stick out is probably the puffy shirt. Though, that's one of those situations where one minor character trait becomes iconic even though it only makes up a very small part of the character (literally just the episode "The Puffy Shirt.")
