Now THIS is interesting. Considering the possibility of The Spiderverse, we could very well see smaller stories within new universes.

Haha no didn’t see they replied to post with same info. Juggling a call, texting friend, reading another subreddit, and trading stocks. Deleting reply now.

Good on ya! I know I'm in the minority like, most people who were fans, are fans, just didn't stay with me unfortunately

While the acting in most of those movies from that era is subpar, its not always the actors fault. It's is the directors and producers as well. Rothrock though is a true badass though! I thoroughly enjoy watching a lot of those movies because lets be honest here, we don't watch martial arts movies for the acting, we watch them for the fight scenes

Naw I know what the film's like, I watched it, I didn't go in expecting it to blow me away — I just thought it was shite when I watched it again as an adult, that's kinda the point lol

I still love Mallrats and I'm almost 40...

Hahaha

A... are you high?

Oooooooh! This escaped me bc I was thinking that’s like a resort but Mila Kunis says “hotel” like 50 times

Well, your problem there is all expectations. Mallrats is and always has been a stoner comedy. It has some clever dialogue but mostly it's just a slapstick comedy. And for me, it definitely still is effective. But if you go into it expecting an intelligent subversive masterpiece, of course you will be disappointed. But that isn't the movie's fault, that's expectations.

Absolutely love Margin Call. Over the years it’s slowly climbed up my list of most favourite movies. Really rewatchable and the dialogue is just exceptional.

Unfortunately the story isn’t more widely known and hasn’t yet been folded into the general consciousness but is known by those who read the best selling book by David Gann called Killer of the Flower Moon (the Osage Murders the birth of the FBI). He’s an excellent author and does brilliant research.

Ive long been a podcast listener and heard him talk about the story in an interview he did here in 2018:

This was riveting (if slightly dry) listen because grew up in Texas and never heard about these murders or about the calculating evil betrayal their spouses engaged in.

Sad thing about the Gann book is it was started in 2014 but came out in 2017 just before the huge increase of True Crime podcasts so it was somewhat too early to the listening party.

The upcoming film adaptation might get more traction:

“The book was acquired for film adaptation by director Martin Scorsese in 2017. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladstone, the film is set to be released theatrically by Paramount Pictures and stream on Apple TV+ in 2023.”

Finn and Poe in the Star Wars Sequel trilogy

He watched the shining trailer where it’s recut to be a family comedy and it’s all the happy outside times from the first 10 mins.

>🎶”Son", he said “Grab your things, I've come to take you home"🎶

Less focus on Frodo & Sam would have been a huge improvement, iyam.

Movie should have been entirely focused on the Big 3 of Aragorn, Gandalf, and Legolas.

What? I’m a bit confused what you mean but there were totally elderly tribe members, some of them died naturally. This event took place over the course of 5 years. The reason we know that there were more than just the 24 investigated deaths was because the death rate from 1920-1925 greatly exceeded the norm.

The David Gann book? (Killer of the Flower Moon, birth of the FBI)

He’s an excellent author and does brilliant research. I’ve long been a podcast listener and heard him talk about the story in an interview he did here in 2018:

This was riveting (if slightly dry) listen because grew up in Texas and never heard about these murders or about the calculating evil betrayal their spouses engaged in.

When complex iffy legal treaties for land and mineral theft didn’t work the Osage spouses just outright slaughtered their Indian wives and family. All for oil and money tied to the then new industry. Insane.

Sad thing about the Gann book is it was started in 2014 but came out in 2017 just before the huge increase of True Crime podcasts so it was somewhat too early to the listening party.

The upcoming film adaptation due out this year might get more traction.

Oddly enough, I did not find her attractive in her early days. I think older Brooke is very good looking.

I just posted this myself, first thing that came to mind. I enjoyed that movie

[removed]

Identity(?) a John Cusack murder motel mystery from the 00’s

It was all murders, none of them were natural deaths because they weren’t extremely old

This was an amazing book. I hope this movie does it justice. And that the movie may bring more attention to this historical crime against the Oklahoman Indian population.

You post pretty alright.

Good shot.

Same. I got so hella confused when the 2nd half kicked in.

How dare you suggest that the version without pirate captain Peter Jackson is superior.
