It was established in Highlander that the Immortals are born "Immortal", but their immortality only kicks in when they first die. So the show introduced a ten year old immortal (who had been killed when he was a slave in ancient Rome), and one spin off media introduced an Immortal who was housed on holy ground, since he had lived a full life and died at the age of 102. He existed in a perpetual coma.

Not officially greenlit yet but Paramount announced back in July that they were developing another movie (originally with Payne and McKay, the original writers of Beyond who were fired). All that we know so far is that Pine and Quinto are the only cast members under contract -- they demanded huge pay raises to do Beyond, Paramount agreed on the condition that they sign new contracts with an option for a sequel -- and that the story involves George Kirk, so time travel fuckery is involved.

Pretty sure Chris Hemsworth is also signed on as well.

re: Matrix talk. I made the mistake of watching Jackie Chan's Drunken Master II before seeing The Matrix in theaters, and found myself disappointed in how boring The Matrix's fight scenes were after watching DM II.

i'm just gonna assume you wanted an excuse to bring up that weird as gently caress scene because that's more understandable than you genuinely asking this question

Anytime "It" gets mentioned, whether it's the novel, TV miniseries, or this new film, there's always one who brings it up as if they're the only person to ever mention it.

Detective No. 27 posted:

It's true. All of it.

It started out as a simple family comedy, but then Urkel, the wacky neighbor character, just blew up in a way nobody expected. The show became more outlandish as it centered more around him.

The last episode I remember watching was basically Speed, but on one of those stationary spin bikes at the gym.

You left out the fact that it was a spin off of "Perfect Strangers".

Weren't they supposed to be doing a new Tremors TV show? With Kevin Bacon involved?

Len posted:

If they replace Burt with his bastard son I'm done with series.

The 3 direct to video sequels were quaint, seeing as they had involved the writers from the original to carry on with the scripts. Tremors 5 didn't have them involved at all, and it was awful. It was as if they forgot they were supposed to be humorous (and no, adding Jamie Kennedy doesn't count as humor)

Man to Man with Dean Learner has to have my favorite line, ever. It involves Dean going off on a rant about wet wipes.

It's very difficult to find a good quality wet-wipe in any case, because I took Satu to the Ivy recently, and I asked for a wet-wipe and they said 'We don't do wet-wipes.' I said, 'The gently caress you don't do wet-wipes! I'm paying two ton a head and you don't do loving wet-wipes?'

I dunno, I would've liked a scaled back, more personal Hellboy 3 with Perlman and co. to cap off their run. I love the beat the second one ends on and it's a shame we'll never get a follow through.

I still love GTD stories about pitching Hellboy to studios and their responses.

"Does he have to be red?"
"Does he have to be a demon?"

And my favorite:

Studio: "Couldn't he be a regular guy who when he gets mad turns into Hellboy?"
GDT: "No. That's the Hulk."

Quentin Tarantino worked with Joss Whedon on Wonder Woman?

In the commentary for Serenity, when the camera is focused in on Summer Glau's bare feet, he says "if the Serenity is the 10th member of the crew, then River's feet are the eleventh." It's a half joking comment, but yeah, he does it enough that he felt the need to comment on it.

Trying to shoehorn in a pointless connection between all the Craig Bond movies is part of the reason why Spectre was such a bloated mess, have they learned nothing? You'd think trying to expand a franchise on a series that is completely reliant on a single central character would not be a great idea (unless Q has a massive underground fan base that I've never heard about?)

Thirty loving years a Desmond Llewelyn Q movie would've kicked rear end.

Okay, you want a Seagal movie to watch? Here's the one to watch:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493424/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_73

Why?

"Screenwriter Joe Halpin is quoted in the book "Seagalogy: The rear end Kicking Films of Steven Seagal" as saying that "Attack Force" had originally been written and filmed as "Harvester," a sci-fi/horror movie with Steven Seagal and his men battling an invading force of vampire space aliens. After Seagal, Halpin and director Michael Keusch had delivered the finished sci-fi film, the production and distribution company decided to eliminate the sci-fi space-alien elements and replace them with another plot about a super-addictive drug that turns its users into superhuman killers. They called back a few of the lower-paid actors for re-shoots, re-dubbed the majority of Seagal's dialog via ADR, totally re-edited the film and changed it into "Attack Force" as it is now known. Seagal and Halpin were not involved."

Now, when they say "re-dubbed", he's not talking like the producers said, "Okay, Steve's got this speech here that doesn't fit the plot, so redub it." What he's saying is, the producers said, "Okay, Steve's got this speech here that doesn't fit the plot, so redub lines 2, 4, and 7, but keep the rest of it."

It's bonkers.

I guess the other take away is that there's a book called "Seagalogy: The rear end Kicking Films of Steven Seagal"

Fart City posted:

The biggest improvement from the source material is that Project Mayhem actively kills people in the book, which detracts from the whole "Robin Hood" aspect, and in turn muddies some of the themes of the story. Also, not for nothing, the ending twist plays much better on screen than on the page, because there are way more ways to play with the reveal on a visual level, which Fincher does admirably.

Method acting is bloody stupid.

My favorite method acting story is about Jim Carrey in Man on the Moon. He stayed in character as Andy Kaufman the whole shoot, and when it came time to shoot the story of Andy vs Jerry "The King" Lawler, he was a complete dick to Jerry. So much so that Lawler pulled Milos Foreman aside and said "Does he know that Andy and I were friends?"
