Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

The nipples on the Batman and Robin suits, mostly.

 

[Bronson]

Do tell. What reasons?

Jpz summed it up perfectly, but if you watch the film, it starts up rather promising. The Bat and his sidekick receive a call from Commissioner Gordon about a new villain in town. “He’s calling himself: Mr. Freeze, says Gordon.” Ok, cool.

Unfortunately the film fails to maintain its momentum as the film progresses. The film suffers in ways that the other Batman films before it did not suffer.

I’ll try not to disrespect it because I like the people involved in the making of the film. Arnold is undeniably charismatic, Uma is fire as always, and Clooney did well enough with the material he had to work with. Not his fault.

Fun fact: you can milk anything with nipples.

Fun fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger pays $1 every year to keep his Mr Freeze costume from the movie in his possession. It was written into a contract that he can keep it as long as he pays $1 every year

calibeebee Just to provide further context into what is being shown here.

This scene is from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The frogs are being rescued by the students from being experimented on as part of a class assignment.

It is intended to be a happy moment for the frogs

I don’t want you to think the frogs were harmed or something

I don’t remember that part. It’s weird, ET is one of those movies that was so beloved for me that I’ve never wanted to revisit it. Like, I know how good it is and that’s all I need. Doesn’t happen with me often. Usually if I like a film I’ll watch it at least a dozen times.

Thank you for the clarification. I thought it was from some horror movie like Carrie or something.

 

[lawdog1]

I’ve watched ET a couple times as an adult. Did not have the same magic for me as it did when I was a kid, but I was still able to appreciate it as a piece of great filmmaking.

 

[lawdog1]

Penguin looks more like a mob drama than a comic book show and I’m good with that.

I’m biased because I’m close personal friends with Jon Greis but Uncle Rico is one of best supporting characters in all of movies.

 

[darthska]

Few years before she was in Jurassic Park:

Uncle Rico def an all timer. Just watched The Rundown last night and I forgot dude is in that as a bad guy

That’s the amazing thing about him. Been a character actor since the 80s, but has a knack for showing up in things that blow up and become beloved.

Did you know he’s in Taken?

Can only choose one:

Olga Kurylenko
Monica Belucci


Im choosing Olga Belucci allllll night and night.

Haven’t watched this since it first came out on DVD

Still a banger

I had no idea! Only other thing I remember him from is Real Genius

 

[calibeebee]

Nicole Kidman & Kate Winslet with Babe the pig at the Oscars, 1995.​

Yeah, he’s one of Liam Neeson’s ex-military buddies in the Taken movies.

He also has recurring roles in Martin and Lost TV shows, now in The White Lotus.

Appears in Seinfeld in a couple of different episodes as a homeless guy.

Tons of stuff like that.

If you’re looking for a good time to watch IT, be it the 1990 miniseries, or the 2017 film and/or Chapter 2, now is a good time.

Reason being? On this exact day 38 years ago, the book was published.

IT really is such a fascinating story. One where it can be discussed for hours on end

Wikipedia does a fine job summarizing it, thematically:

“the power of memory, childhood trauma and its recurrent echoes in adulthood, the malevolence lurking beneath the idyllic facade of the American small town, and overcoming evil through mutual trust and sacrifice.”

Just saw The Substance with Demi Moore. Really surprised me. Great sci-fi/horror.

6.75/8.
