Not sure about the film thing but fart jokes were indescribably popular well before this. In fact, Mel Brooks' character William J. Le Petomane is named after a famous French flatulist.

I had no idea that there were professional farters.

The show sounds amazing, too

quote:

Some of the highlights of his stage act involved sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms, as well as playing "'O Sole Mio" and "La Marseillaise" on an ocarina through a rubber tube in his anus.[2] He could also blow out a candle from several yards away.[1]

:allears:

I guess to see an act like that these days I have to go to Thailand, don't I?

Not to nitpick, but that's Michael Keaton.

Good. He needs to keep fresh to play Old Bruce in a Batman Beyond live action movie.

It would have been a terrible idea but recasting Banner every movie would have been hilarious

Have the previous Banner in the intro as he Hulks up. First time he goes back to Banner BAM its the new guy. Gamma ray science magic!

Yeeeep.
Plus he says that he sunk "every last dime" into this job.
A couple of trucks, a crew of maybe a dozen.
That's not millionaire money. That's a hard-scrabble crew running on fumes.

Probably one of those crews with a diehard core that he just refuses to fire and the kind of company that resorts to accounting games to stay afloat and even then is rickety from payday to payday.

On Thursday, a friend pointed out that if That 70's Show, which debuted in 1998 and was set in 1976 were to be made today, it would be set in 1997.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me.

The alien ships in Battleship literally shoot out the red pegs from the game as their offensive weaponry, and that's when I knew it was the greatest movie ever made.

Yuuuuuuuuuuup. It was just so outlandish it was perfect.

That, and them targeting grid squares with missile barrages due to..alien jamming or whatever.

I have maintained that The Hateful Eight would have been amazing if right after Bruce Dern dies he turns into The Thing, and the rest of the movie is the humans trying to survive while fighting in a 1880s version of The Thing.

They have the soundtrack, the setting, the overall tone, a somewhat similar ending, there's a lot of The Thing in The Hateful Eight.

Holy poo poo that would have been fuckin amazing.

Another theatrical version holdover of the "T-1000 is glitching" subplot that is more or less cut: is that after he is reassembled, when you see a full frame shot of him walking, he has the shirt of the beat cop uniform, but the boots of the bike cop uniform. I never noticed it until it got pointed out to me a few months ago

I would never in my life have caught that

I love Arnie's response to John telling him to put the gun down in that scene. He's like a puppy or a 3 year old.

Yeah he took that very literally lol. That's a director's cut scene right? I can't recall ever seeing it before in the theatrical/tv/vhs editions..

First season is super procedural, dumb criminal of the week stuff that's solidly entertaining but not much more. After that it gets a lot more serialized with season long villains and way more Boyd action.

Yeah, this. The first season is okay but nothing stellar. They really hit their stride in the second season with the move to big season long story arcs.

I can't stand how fuckin dark some 60s and 70s movies are. I watched Marathon Man recently. It features a dude running in the early morning hours and MAN are these ever the early-morning-hours because you can't fuckin see anything. Shapes in the darkness talking. I get it, it's early, the sun isn't up yet, but I'd still like to see the movie.

Yeah I'm not sure whats worse, modern night shots where it was clearly shot in broad daylight and color graded blue, or actual night with minimal lighting so its black shadow talking to slightly darker black shadow.
