Ha! I love how COVID has shown how many of these actors are dumb and how stupid people are for getting their information from them.

I mean he takes a date to a porn theater and doesn’t comprehend why she gets upset or even that it was a porno.
His connection to the world is never really there.

JCVD was so good looking he could simply exist to be a movie star. If Hollywood can push jail Courtney or Sam Worthington just based on their looks they sure as hell would push jcvd

Read this book a couple weeks ago, probably one of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read. It was a very quick read, and I hope that the movie reaches more people so the victims and their stories are known.

The saddest part is that this type of thing is just a continuous path of US behavior. This isn't atypical or out of character for any period from 1492 to the present.
The current government investment in policing around MMIW isn't going to stop or even slow MMIW, but it will absolutely result in the killing of more indigenous folks in border towns. Meanwhile fossil fuel companies are siphoning money into local police forces to pay them to attack and arrest peaceful Line 3 water protectors who are simply asking for the US to honor their treaties.
No major news networks even show up to cover these things after a brief interest in the Dakota access pipeline bullshit fizzled out.

Very deeply not the same kind of movie.

Interesting choice, since the movie that just dominated the awards season didn't have a fall release and there was a lot of talk about how that may have actually helped it in the long run.

Eh, De Niro is one of the greats and from the pics on set he looks the part. He can absolutely play a conniving villain.

It's understandable why they took it out. It would have pulled too much focus from Frodo and Sam. (It why losing the mouth of Sauron was a good idea too imo).
They used parts of the Sauron fight to make that part where he fights a troll instead.

Reply to Question about 12 Angry Men by nthroop1
I don’t know if the rules were different 60 years ago and I’m not a legal expert but isn’t the whole idea of having a jury of your peers (as opposed to professional jurors) to consider everything they heard in the trial and question it if in their own judgement they think something was incomplete or wrong? I do know that today the judge tells jurors not to do their own research so going out on the street and finding the same knife would probably result in a mistrial.

Just as odd to not only reject the one who can free you from your torment but also attempt to kill him(if he's the first in thousands of years of waiting right?)

Reply to Movies like Scooby Doo 1&2? by accountforquickans
The Brady bunch movies from the 90s were both great. Like, The Addams Family and Brady bunch movie would make a great double feature.
Both being about quirky families, out of place in society unbeknownst to them.

Savage bar fight scene in Lonely Are the Brave. One-armed Bill Raisch (Fugitive's one-armed man) authentically looks like he's gonna slaughter Kirk Douglas.

Reply to comment by KnotSoSalty in Margin Call by transformerjay
This is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. The conversation has very serious repercussions implications , is filled with tension, and simultaneously maintains levity.
Bettany consistently steals scenes in a movie with a very impressive cast.
Edit: a word

They were wallowing in their ghostness for thousands of years,found the one who could lift their ghostness had arrived, rejected him, sent an avalanche of skulls than changed their minds when he happened to survive.

I thought Williams's score for The Eiger Sanction was dull throughout, the worst tracks being his semi-pop/jazz scoring.

Peollenalways bring up slasher films as being disrupted by cellphones but honestly a cellphone isn't particularly helpful when someone is trying to stab you.
