I refuse to believe that Swordfish is a hated movie. Come on, John Travolta giving supervillain speeches every 10 minutes, Paul Oakenfold all over the soundtrack (one song sampled Grease!), Halle Berry? It's great. Also, nobody hates Buckaroo Banzai.

I saw Swordfish in a theater with a bunch of guys who worked with me on Boy Scout camp staff. We had our one night off from camp and went into town and just randomly went in to see it. None of us knew about the topless scene and there was a bunch of sudden hooting and hollering from a bunch of 16-18 year olds in the back row.

Terrible plot and holes throughout, I think Travolta does a really good job at capturing the role. He's just a delusional sociopathic megalomaniac who somehow has supervillain money and resources. Every most of his lines in the movie are part of some wandering self-important monologue that leave you asking "What the gently caress is he talking about??" if you even pay enough attention to wonder where he's going with it. He's like if Elon Musk was charming and not completely dumb as poo poo. All of his references are to something from pop culture. "Take Dog Day Afternoon, for example..." "Ever hear of Harry Houdini?" "Ever see Sugarland Express?" He's just a rich manchild basing his plans for terrorism and extortion off poo poo he saw in movies. HenryJLittlefinger has a new favorite as of 21:14 on Mar 26, 2024 |

Deep Glove Bruno posted:I didn't watch it but my uncle reminded me that there's a marx brothers gag where they're trying to get into somewhere with a password and harpo (the one who doesn't speak) knows it and instead pulls a whole swordfish out of his pants - because the password is "swordfish". i wondered if the movie was based on that old gag considering all the "password accepted" marketing I kind of assumed it's a reference more to the trope of swordfish as a password that the gag in Horse Feathers started than it is to the actual gag itself. Just going off the kind of lowbrow movie it is. But I guess that's still a roundabout reference to the Marx Brothers either way.
