Going back a few pages, because I only just found out about it, I would have no issues with their being a remake of "The Running Man" However I would want the remake to be based on the movie, not the book. I think it would be great to have the film updated to mock gameshows similar to the ones we have today. For a wonderful Easter Egg, get Steve Harvey to play the bad guy. Actually, thinking about it, I think he could really pull off that role. That would work.

Whoever is in the Killian or equivalent role, it's gotta be a former actual game show host because. Jesse Ventura can reprise his role of course.

Failed Imagineer posted:It's very clearly a dream sequence. Cliff is on the roof doing poo poo, then he slips into a reverie where a bunch of dumb implausible poo poo happens that culminates in him kicking Bruce Lee's rear end, then it cuts back to the roof and he's like "Nahhh anyway". It's pretty much only missing an "and then everyone clapped". Yeah compare that to Tate's memory of a calm and soothing Bruce Lee training her. Unreliable narrator is in the mix!

The novel nor the movie indicate it's unreliable narrator poo poo. It's almost as if Bruce's behavior was different based on who he was interacting with and the context of those interactions.

I had an early Enter the Dragon dvd and I remember one of the special features having Linda Lee tell a story about Bruce kicking the poo poo out of stunt man on set after he challenged him to a fight. I thought the scene was just a reference to that while serving as way to show that Brad Pitt’s character was very powerful by having him fight the toughest guy in the Hollywood of that era. I don’t know why people got bent out of shape about it.

Bruce Lee also - allegedly - had dudes try to fight him all the time so it’s not a big stretch to say he lost every now and then. He also - allegedly - badly hospitalised a dude who jumped his back fence to challenge him to a fight.

well why not posted:Bruce Lee also - allegedly - had dudes try to fight him all the time so it’s not a big stretch to say he lost every now and then. Here's Gene Lebell, the stunt man whose apocryphal encounter with Bruce Lee is turned to fantasy in OUaTiH, participating in the first proto MMA fight in 1963. In addition to being a national Judo champion in the heavyweight division, Gene boxed in high school; meaning he's a more complete fighter than Bruce Lee was in 1966. Of course the fiction of the movie doesn't have to follow real events, but I'd thought the mythology of their interaction - of a friendly contest where Gene snatches Bruce up into several holds and generally clowns on him before befriending him and becoming a training partner - was a fairly well known piece of Bruce Lee mythology and I'd assumed that's what the scene was referencing.

There’s a million posts online declaring Bruce Lee as Not A Real Fighter, who would lose to a re MMA guy. It kinda misses the point that he was a martial artist and actor who could also kick holes in 99% of people. Of course he loses to trained fighters, that’s not his thing. We don’t expect MMA fighters to be actors or martial artists of his level lol.

Bruce did invent Jeet Kune Do. I'm not a fighter at all but my understanding is it's an effective fighting style based around self defense and disarming/disabling an attacker in as quick a manner possible.

It’s also fun to read myriad posts about how he’d die to any MMA fighter as if 50 years of evolution have t occurred. Hot take!

Somebody already recommended it upthread but you absolutely need to check out Chaos, it is a mind-blowing book. With as many revelations as it contains, the author isn't willing to extrapolate one step further from the evidence he's obtained, but even if you stop exactly there you still have a dozen CIA working in close proximity to Manson, law enforcement treating him with kid gloves, and a document improperly redacted claiming that the MKULTRA mind-control experiments were a success.

FlamingLiberal posted:Have people not figured out that Tarantino is an exploitation film director yet? His whole deal is making actual Hollywood movies that are bigger budget exploitation films that aren't quite as gross (with some exceptions like Pulp Fiction). This is pretty reductive. His films are examining the inner lives of archetypal pulp/exploitation characters and treating them as real people. That's the thesis of basically every film he's made since Pulp Fiction. The scene in Jackie Brown where Jackie practices her cool line and quick drawing her pistol, in the dark, is the best summation of this. It's a parallel to Spielberg, who's spent massive chunks of his career doing what was once a B-movie, but it doing it to an A+ standard mycot posted:When Inglorious Basterds came out people absolutely thought Landa wasn't so bad because "at least he didn't believe in Nazism and wasn't loyal to Hitler" Landa is QT's best character because it uses Christoph Waltz's ridiculous charisma to trick the audience into trying to 'clean wehrmacht' a character whose job is to hunt down jews.

OUaTiH generally deals with the idea that movies go better than reality. Everything is so larger than life, and everything can be solved. Any obstacle can be surmounted, and any evil can be defeated in approximately 90-180 minutes. The ending is the clearest example of that, but that's also what I think explains the Bruce Lee scene. The greatest martial artist of his era is easily defeated by a fictional character.

I thought they repurposed clips from the original Space Ghost cartoon. That's normally the type of thing that creates rights nightmares and you typically don't get residuals.

SGC2C reused some animation clips and cels, but the writing was entirely original. They even created a few new animations just for the show. Brak Show was 100% original, I don't think they reused anything beyond the general character design.

Schwarzwald posted:But that can't be right; the human soul is weighed down by gravity! Exactly. Light cannot escape the gravity of a black hole, ergo the human soul is unable to move faster than light, otherwise it would not be trapped by the singularities gravity. Thus by the transitive property we know that the human cannot travel faster than light because it is weighed down by gravity. Max Landis is a respected authority in the field of Zeon Zum Deikun studies.
