I just re-watched the first John Wick, and I'd say there's some distinctive henchmen. There's the guy who's security for the mob boss, who's actually good and manages to stay alive pretty much up to the church scene. There's a weird guy with a funny beard who seems like head security for the club, doesn't really do too well, and another guy at the club who actually notices Wick in time to end his stealth spree, and actually fights him for more than 5 seconds. That's not even getting into the named henchmen.

One of the best little things is the Warboy who screams "witness" during that chase in the fortress, as he falls past max and all the way to the ground.

I've seen even less episodes, but wouldn't that be terrible spycraft? Yeah, I'm sure they do it when they're alone, but if a single person hears them wouldn't the game be up immediately? Or are their characters supposed to be russians, who love america.

Technically U-boats are submersibles, which can dive but need to spend much of their time at the surface to recharge their batteries with diesel engines. Until they invented a Snorkel apparatus which allowed them to keep at least most of the sub underwater for as long as necessary. Also, batteries improved so they could dive for longer. So him hanging onto the periscope could allow him to be dragged along without drowning.

One of the Andy's makes fun of Angel, saying more people in the country are armed than in the city "Everyone and their mums' is packing heat round here". He asks, who? The Andy replies "Farmers.....and farmers' mums!" The first people Angel has to fight upon returning to the village? A farmer and his mum, packing heat.

Haha, I remember my mom sitting me down when I was like 13 or 14, saying you should watch this movie, it was one of your dad's favourites. It was Blazing Saddles, and it is a drat hilarious movie. Is there much in it that's offensive? I mean, Mel brooks as an Indian could be argued as racist, but it's not an unfavourable impression? Obviously the language can be a bit strong, but I wouldn't say it's racist or anything. But I'm white, so I dunno. The other great movie that my whole family got down to watch that was my dad's favourite was Slapshot (AKA the best hockey movie [better than Mighty Ducks]). Unfortunately, he forgot about the nudity and explicit language. I still think these movies rule, and I don't think, on the face of it, that it's super offensive. Possibly a bit of bigotry towards gays, since one woman is gay and multiple references are made that if she's a lesbian, does that make her husband a gay? It's a shame though, since it is still pretty drat funny. Newman was the man.

Krinkle posted:I tried to watch slap shot and I lost my loving poo poo that he was out in public, in broad daylight, in the famous murderer's mask. The movie murderer who stabs people mask. The silence of the lambs i'm going to eat your loving liver mask. It was all I could think about. Fifteen minutes into the movie they're trying to associate who's who and what their motivations are and I'm googling for the history of the murderer mask and when friday the 13th first came out and whether the movie made actual real life hockey players figure out a different way to keep their teeth from flying out of their faces that doesn't associate themselves with psychopathic iconography. Haha, I'm really confused what you mean, and I've seen the movie a thousand times. What mask? Like a goalie mask? I can't remember anything like this.

Haha, yeah, they're both pretty good and they are almost exacting the same amount of hockey but mostly the hockey culture, which is definitely a hosed up and yet funny culture.

Not enough people talking about Jackie Brown in a thread of people talking bout good Tarantino movies. Super under the radar, even though in my opinion it has one of the best women characters in a movie, just in term of completely and realistically dominating a situation. Also has some time switching, even just to show a pivotal event from multiple perspectives.

I've posted this before, but it's my all time favourite horror movie since it's pretty much the only one I can think of that doesn't have any gently caress-ups. So many horror movies have parts where you just go "what the gently caress are you doing! Run!" or whatever, but that movie doesn't have any. Can you guys think of any other horror movies that are similar in the "characters aren't huge gently caress ups" sense? I recently watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the one from the 70s) and it had a few of those, (your friends went for a swim in the afternoon and it's getting dark, and the other guy you sent to look for them disappeared? Let's go look for them!) but I do have to admire the one girl's willingness to just nope out and jump through a window on the second floor.

Plus, the guy had an unabashed love of tits. He'd specifically mention giving it a better review if the movie had nice ones. I mean, there might be some problems with that in the women's liberation sense, but it's pretty funny to me.

Solo is actively a bad movie, who basically damaged han solo's character. Instead of a guy who has these mysterious accomplishments and his own enemies, made over the course of a full life, we see that actually he did all the things at once, and his life was somewhat uneventful till that point. They just had to show everything he's famous for, and it ruins it since it makes it seem like it all happened at once

Yeah, I'm a pretty big fan of it. You really end up rooting for Christian Bale's character, since he's basically getting screwed from day one and puts himself into a bad situation in an attempt to get out of it.

habituallyred posted:Fury Road totally tells you how the arm was lost. Remember the Big Rig's door? The one with the skeletal arm painted on it? Maybe you missed it, whenever the rig is just cruising the mechanical arm is hanging out the window. Obviously a habit left over from the lost arm. It's actually a simpsons reference. Director just thought it crass to have the whole conversation..."how'd you lose the arm?'' Well, let's just say, when your
