I just watched both Rollerballs and let me tell you, that Blank Check episode is guaranteed to go off the rails.

Thing is that ROLLERBALL is kind of a good candidate for a remake because while it has interesting parts it never works quite as well as a whole, and then the remake completely blunders it.

Well I never got to any of the Streisand films and now McTieran sounds more fun.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too. I've never seen the Thomas Crown Affair and I have both versions queued up to watch...in 2 months when the episode drops.

The OG has a lot of interesting elements but never comes together into anything. The remake owns. Easiest way to prove that Brosnan would've made a great Bond if Pervis, Wade, and his directors were better at their jobs.

Griffin's hallucinatory false memory that Good Vibrations plays during the crane chase scene in Terminator 3 is absolutely insane

Riptor posted:Griffin's hallucinatory false memory that Good Vibrations plays during the crane chase scene in Terminator 3 is absolutely insane Yeah, he kept talking about a needle drop that was coming, and I know it's been a long time since I saw the movie, but I had no idea what he was talking about in that scene. The fact that he imagined it was amazing. edit: I just watched that scene for the first time in forever on YouTube, and it's so much worse than I remember, so I feel like Griffin right now (outside of the needle drop false memory, of course). thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Thanks. Yeah the crane scene is a bit silly. Tension is kind of lacking as Arnold just gets smashed through everything while the crane hits every parked car. Also lol at boink sound effects.

Griffin's in the new Patrick Willems video about "Muppet Cinema" but mostly as an ad for a separate video on Nebula...

I had no idea Smith was buddies with Alan Rickman. I also completely forgot Smith is in Die hard 4, but then again I don't remember anything at all from that movie. edit: I won't go into detail but Smith's anecdote with Quentin Tarantino is loving hilarious too.

Colonel Whitey posted:Smith’s character grilling John McClane about Star Wars was kind of a funny bit in that movie Yeah I want to go back and watch it now. Smith was telling a story about Willis and it was basically that Willis gave a poo poo about the McLane character even in that movie. I also just watched Moonlighting a couple months ago and everything they said about Willis in that show is true.

I had a really rowdy audience when I saw that movie and it is almost certainly how good that crowd was but I always kinda liked it. I refuse to revisit it though.

I've never been more in agreement with someone on the pod than with David on De Niro's Killers of the Flower Moon performance being one of his best.

He’s definitely not getting enough credit because it’s just kind of expected from him at this point. I feel silly praising a Robert De Niro performance in 2024, like I’m gonna have some unique insights, but he was amazing. I also think that people might not have been expecting it to be as funny as it is.

I may be wrong but it seems like it’s been a while since he’s had a performance that was that locked in. Maybe not since The Intern

Then the anti-aging CGI couldn't hide the fact that he was old man De Niro. Other than mainly that one scene outside of the grocer, he was fantastic.

Big agree and I was happy to hear others sharing this thought. I thought Deniro was just fine in the Irishman, but it is entirely possible the bad anti-aging CG is just one of those things that causes my brain to revolt and I can't get past it. Also, was so happy to hear the Penelope Cruz love. She was so loving good in Ferrari and I'm salty she didn't get an oscar nom.

I’ve never been in more agreement than when they said Waternoose was probably just a bloodless bureaucrat and Randall came up with the plan

Does anyone have any suggestions for an Android podcast app? I was using Stitcher until it abruptly shut down and now Google is shutting down their app next month. I just tried one called "Podcast Player" and it's not great.
