Same with Jon Benjamin. He always has the same voice, but his performance as Archer is totally different from McGuirk or his Bob Belcher.

At the end of season 4 I was expecting there to be a loving stabbing it got so bleak.

Also, again, not a film; but I'm just watching the last series of Arrested Development; and am on the episode which starts with that stupid fake asian housewives of white collar prison episode that Lucille manages to get on.

The subtlety? Her prisoner number is 07734. Turn that upside down, and... well, with the other jailbirds she's with - who is that an allusion to?

Related: In one of the first episodes, when they're fishing the trashed banana stand out of the water, there's graffiti that says "I'll get you Bluths! Hello"

There was supposed to be a scene in gladiator with billboards popping up all over rome of maximus endorsing a certain brand of olive oil. It was taken out because it was too unrealistic.

It was actually one of the few things in that movie based on solid historical evidence.

Gladiator is overrated, but I really wish we got the sequel Nick Cave wrote where Gladiator (his name is only written as Gladiator in the script) becomes an immortal warrior fighting in all of the wars and conflicts throughout human history.

Yeah I think he just loves hunting and torturing people with every fiber of his being and he's very good at it. Like he didn't even think he was doing the right thing, he just saw it as an easy way for him to really focus on his passion of being a loving monster. Like Mengele.

I think Landa needs to feel like he's winning, and everything, every interaction, every conversion he needs to be beating someone or outsmarting them or manipulating them in some way. He revels in hunting humans, and he revels in toying with them before he kills them.

In the dairy sequence in the beginning, he leads the conversation in English until he bemoans reaching the limits of his proficiency in the language, and announced it in a way that said explicitly that he is far more proficient in the language.

Landa believed that he had won at the end, that he had outsmarted the men that hunted him and instead got their bosses to give him a large sum of money and a nice house and make the basterds escort him there. What he failed to grasp is that the basterds don't care that they've been outsmarted, they carve a loving swastika in his forehead anyway because honestly who's going to mind?

I'm willing to say it is my favorite. The scene between Landa and Shoshanna where he orders her milk and she screams internally is maybe the best single scene of his career.

Honestly Landa is probably some of the best synergy between writer, actor and character he's had.

The Last Jedi

When Luke comes out to bait Kylo Ren into a duel, after brushing off a sustained laser cannon bombardment like it was nothing, he sets his feet to charge at his opponent. The only thing is, unlike every single other thing that touches the crust of the mineral planet, Luke's feet don't disturb the salt. I wondered if he was really there when he appeared out of nowhere, but when he gave the dice to Leia I thought for sure he was, and it was only in hindsight talking with friends afterwards that we realised he wasn't leaving footprints.

Also his clothes and hair are how they looked when Ben betrayed him several years earlier, he's still using his father's lightsaber that Ben and Rey just destroyed. What I liked is that he got the idea for that trick from R2 when he went to check out the Falcon.

Shyamalan is a director with a lot of really great ideas and absolutely no sense to tell them apart from the terrible, terrible ideas he also has. He needs someone that he has a really good close relationship with, that he trusts completely, to tell him that an idea is loving stupid and he shouldn't do it. He's also terrible at action.

I'm glad he's sticking to relatively cheap movies where there are very low expectations and he can just do something small and fun without getting too up his own rear end.

Mel Gibson is a poo poo human but he turns in an amazing performance in that movie.

Signs honestly isn't that bad, and I don't mind the """twist""" in itself, but Night ruins it by doing flashback after flashback with dramatic music and making you sit there starting at this lovely cg alien and going "get it? Do you get it? Huh? It's what his wife said. Did you get it? See?"

That movie needs a good editor to chop that scene and the one where he gets his little speech after trapping the alien in his kitchen.

The other thing in that movie that bugs me that Shyamalan does a few times is slightly slow down part of a performance in post. Like, someone will stand up and I guess he thought they should have stood up slightly slower because the framerate week drip just for a second and it's jarring as poo poo.

The first one is actually amazing but it's real different from the rest and it's fuckin weird. Also it wasn't supposed to be post apocalyptic but they didn't have the budget to put all the cops in believable uniforms in a real office, so instead their chief is a leatherdaddy who works in a burnt out husk of a building.

There’s helluva gay and then there’s weirdly homoerotic. Mad Max is weirdly homoerotic. Like it probably makes gay guys uncomfortable. Even Max’s precinct captain looks like a backup for the Village People. An academic argument could be made that the Rockatansky’s represent the last traditional nuclear family and their demise signals the apocalypse in Road Warrior.

I believe I referred to him as Police Chief Leatherdaddy upthread. I dig this interpretation tho.

My headcanon is that the first movie is the only one that really "happened" and the other three are different campfire stories about the wasteland folk hero he became. Like a post-apocalyptic Paul Bunyan.

edit: in 2/Road Warrior this is explicit in the text of the movie

I appreciate how absolute and black and white Punisher is. Stories like his The End out Six Hours To Kill where his response to being put in a dilemma of "but now you can't kill me" is to kill them anyway. I'm positive that if you sat Frank down and managed to honestly convince him that what he was doing was wrong, he'd just say "oh okay" and shoot himself right there.
