I still agree with Hbomberguy's video, but a movie based on a Liefeld character was the most successful comic book movie of 2016.

My 15 year old brother worked in a theater when I was 4 or 5 and took me to see a special after-hours screening of Jaws.

I wouldn't go near waterbeds much less actual pools.

I remember in the 90s, seeing something on TV where sharks had infested a swimming pool, which freaked me out for a while. Can anyone recall what that might have been? I don't know if it was a tv show or a movie.

Which Chucky movie had a scene of Chucky as tall as a skyscraper? I remember seeing that on TV as a toddler and have at least a couple seconds of that burned into my mind. I was surprised to discover that the series is about a talking doll, and not a skyscraper sized freaky looking kid. Was that even a Chucky movie?

John Wick is good but it does the incredibly tacky TV move of having the first scene be a flash forward to the very end of the movie. That's a total lack of faith in the audience.

The movie ain't perfect, but it's such a breath of fresh air. It'll be remembered as one of the defining action movies of the '10s.

It's kind of funny how you can plot an entire Highlander remake just with Queen song titles.

My ideal remake begins in Galilee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0J_kuTib1w

The first Queen couple Queen albums are super underrated, and if I can recall correctly, based on a fantasy land Mercury had created. The Mercury name came from the song My Fairy Queen. I'm betting that it could have made an awesome movie in its own right if he were still alive today.

Brian May's '39 is the plot of Interstellar.

They really should just make Hitman a TV show in the vein of that Golgo 13 anime series from a few years back.

Detective No. 27

FilthyImp posted:

Golgo 13 the 2000s anime is pretty fun. It's somewhat like an assassin Columbo, where he's given an impossible mission or some crazy complicated contract and he has to find a way to complete it.

He usually drops a gun off to be modified by his weapons guy and runs off to find someone to gently caress in the hour or two he has.

There's one contract where he has to snipe a billionaire on his bulletproof floating hedonism fortress and iirc Golgo bounces a bullet off of a wave to get the right angle.

I love that episode. It's so impossibly bullshit, but Togo always gets the job done. The episode where a bullet shell accidentally falls off a building was also real good. Duke never loses his cool.

A Hitman show should follow that formula. Ideally, he'd rarely be the focus of the story.
