They're overcompensating because there were allowed to continue working while restaurants and schools were shutdown

Except... Calculon!

King of the dramatic... Pause!

'cause it's not just about acting, it's also who looks good on a poster. Cynthia Rothrock looks like Kitty from That '70s Show, not at all like an action star. Michelle Yeoh for example always looked convincingly tough. Same deal with say, Pam Grier if you wanna go back a little further.

You do know that there were other martial arts guys in the '80s and '90s that studios tried to get behind and they bombed for pretty much the same reasons, right? They mighta been great martial artists but they looked like someone's dorky dad.

Totally agree. Mulholland Dr is his best film for sure. Maybe I’m a little biased because I’m a sucker for Naomi Watts

The ghosts swore an oath and betrayed it by fleeing Gondor or however they identified at the time and refusing to come to Gondors Aid. As Isildurs heir Aragon could hold them to that oath. So they sort of always didn't like Gondor, but didn't realize the ramifications.

Im glad that in the past few years there have been more and more high budget productions in Oklahoma

Exactly my experience as well. We convicted a thug on beating his wife senseless (in front of his 3 year-old daughter) but even with an ADA who had her case sewn up pretty tightly, we still had one Lee J. Cobb figure on our jury who read his tabloid and said the defendant 'just got outta hand a little.' So it took some persuasion and jury members using things other than evidence to make their argument.

Yeah, I know the legal purists go crazy over what happens in the jury room in this movie (one of my absolute favorites) but the fact is, once the door's closed, anything goes. Guilty/Not Guilt/Hung Jury. That's it. No 'Oh, but we considered things other than the evidence.' Judge will *not* care.

I love Hot Fuzz.

Shaun of the Dead was abit too heavy on gore for me to rewatch it oftenly (you know the scene), but it's definitely a good movie.

Apparently this story involves family history of mine! Pretty cool.

About the only movie which is legally accurate is My Cousin Vinny.

Having read the book it’s not a cover up, it’s blatant, it’s just that nobody cared. The head rights were granted to the Osage, but they were placed into a trust monitored by white people and they had to go through those white people to get the money. There was a main antagonist, yes, but there were also many one off killers. It’s insane that it’s all been lost to history and nobody would know about it if it wasn’t for the book being written.

I don't think we have to worry at all about DeNiro torpedoing a Scorsese movie.

The film makes it pretty clear that noone can command the ghost army when Legolas shoots an arrow through a ghost. The ghost king revels in the fact that noone can command them except the king of Gondor. He laughs at Aragorn initially but is shocked when his ghost weapon is blocked by what can only be the sword of the King of Gondor right?

Actually got this in a list will give it a watch thanks

I'm thinking maybe sports?

Not sure if they are, but its the only other career that springs to mind where there's huge production resources dependent on one person being healthy to perform on a specific day.

Can't be done remotely, or rescheduled.

Agree, that and Mulholland Drive are his two masterpieces.

> There’s a lot of beings in this world that seem to need to be dragged kicking and screaming into defending their own world.

That's... the central theme. Overcoming the easy path of just letting things play out rather than fighting and sacrificing for good.

so silly 2 hour standing ovation incoming?

I’m reading it too. It’s great

The real question here is…will it have Rolling Stones music?

Some bullshit about it being art.

Fall awards season. Similarly, Once Upon a time in Hollywood played Cannes, released in September. Parasite released in the US in the fall as well.

Ernest is such a good character for Leo. And can’t wait to Jesse Plemons portray Tom White. I’m a little worried about DeNiro being in it though. That casting doesn’t really fit at all. Seems like Marty just trying to shoehorn his buddy in and could torpedo the whole thing.

The Big Short is Margin Call made for kids.

The Big Short is still great. It just wants to aim for a larger segment. Margin Call aims for a more narrow segment.
