IIRC, they used 30 versions of her outfit so the transition would be slow enough. So much wasted potential and unecessary Sean Bean in that movie.

There is never unnecessary Sean Bean. He always is essential.

The first time I watched that movie one of the friends I was with was just so loving tickled with Pyle's suicide scene he spent the rest of the night rewinding the tape over and over, to the point it started to wear out. Didn't get to finish it that night because the rest of us decided to do something less crazy.

That's my story.

Let me guess, this story ended with "They later found his storage unit full of hooker torsos" :stare:

Speaking of actor professors, Peter Weller teaches Renaissance history at UCLA and supposedly he runs students through the wringer at the beginning of each course in order to weed out anyone who takes the class just because of Professor Robocop.

Fun fact. I learned about Carthage Delenda Est from Peter Weller

I learnt about it from Asterix. And it was before Wikipedia, so I had NFI what it meant.

Ah. It was a documentary series he did about, I want to say ancient architecture. He was in the ruins of Carthage and he was talking about how Cato would end every speech with him, and holy gently caress the way he said it made me want to go out and destroy Carthage with my own two hands.

That show was so so good. Too good for a Disney toon. Between that and the Gargoyle's Quest games, I was left with a soft spot for the creatures in general. Kinda weird that Brooklyn's wings are invisible there.

(Also, am I the only one who noticed that the show's casting agent kind of used Star Trek: TNG cast members as shorthand for villain casting? )

Nope. And that's why I loved it.

I know most Edgar Wright stuff is all subtle in general. But at the beginning they talk about smoking pot and getting paranoid at one point. And once they get to the bar after the Bee Hive they get paranoid again at that bar. I have watched the movie multiple times and did not make that correlation as I did the more obvious ones. Thought it was clever.

PETER JACKSON: When Wormtongue rises up and comes up behind Saruman to stab him, of course it was my job as director to talk to Christopher Lee and to explain to him what I wanted, so I started to go into this long explanation about what sort of sound he should make when he got stabbed.
CHRISTOPHER LEE: I seem to recall I did say to Peter, “Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back?” And I said, “Well, because I do.” It’s [mimics being stabbed] because the breath’s driven out of your body.
PETER JACKSON: He proceeded to talk about some very clandestine part of World War II.
BARRIE OSBORNE: He used to be in the British Secret Service, whatever they were called, the OSS?
PETER JACKSON: He seemed to have expert knowledge of exactly the sort of noise that they make, and so I just sort of didn’t push the subject any further; I just said, “Well, you obviously know what to do, Christopher, so I’m sure you’ll do it great,” and he did.


Dude's pretty hardcore.

Yeah, Christopher Lee literally spent WWII stabbing Nazis in the back in Norway.

Dude is more badass than any character he played in a movie. Very few can claim to be the same.

Well, they do establish that stuff is bad and makes the person's mind fight back. Considering how delicate what they're trying to do is, they probably can't risk it.

Plus, at that point, they were trying to convince him that they were his subconcious, while his subconcious attacked him. If they started messing around with everything, then he might clue in faster.

The one thing I desperately hope we eventually get in a Star Wars film is one capital ship destroying another capital ship with a broadsides. In all eight film so far every capital ship that has been destroyed has done so through strange circumstances, or a Death Star laser.

When Darth drops outta hyperspace in RO, you can see his star destroyer nuking a neb b with a broadside in about 10 seconds. Also, a couple other ships. Not all of them died from ramming.
