You're talking the greaser dude? Are we sure there's nothing sketchy about him? I always kind of assumed Robbins was low-key enabling Schneider.

That was my first exposure to Billy Connolly, but the show was running on fumes at that point. Plus the one guy went on to be that extremely sketchy producer at Nickelodeon...

Reply to Why is Cars 2 the Way it is? by CasuallyCarrots
You called it, basically: there are parts of the country where they like "Larry The Cable Guy," and they love car racing. They watched the first Cars a lot, and they bought the toys. So Pixar made Cars 2 to cater to them, and to make the money for better, more heartfelt films like Inside Out.

It helps to know that the directors, Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, had directed the British Max Headroom TV movie that fleshed out the cyberpunk world of the “virtual” music video host. The movie got re-edited against their wishes, but their aesthetic is hard to miss.

Star Trek Generations was hot garbage in so many ways...but the destruction of the Enterprise and the saucer section's crash-landing was fantastic. That moment got applause on opening night, and deservedly so.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Looking for movies with a dramatically different director’s cut by pornthrowaway1421
You know the whole thing with the tidal wave the aliens send to warn people to be better? Yeah, that's gone. Ed Harris puts the goo in his lungs, he dives down to where the aliens are, they take him inside, they drop him off back up at the surface. That's...pretty much it. I think they might have still told him to warn people to be better, but I can't be sure.

The "renegade cut" of Highlander 2 takes steps to clear up some of the more nonsensical choices of the theatrical cut. Still hot garbage though, unfortunately.

The Abyss director's cut has, y'know, an ending.

Reply to is there any show with more spin-offs and spin-offs-of-spin-offs than All in the Family? by [deleted]
I think Happy Days might have had more, but at least three of those - Mork & Mindy, Blansky's Beauties, and Out Of The Blue - appeared in a halfassed backdoor pilot on Happy Days and could barely be considered spinoffs.

Pratt makes no effort to sound like anything other than Andy Dwyer. I don't need him to be all "'ey, I'ma Italiano, I maka da pizza pie!" I just want him to make the slightest fucking effort.
Like a real voice actor would.

lol right? Even Monty Python has blackface and a lot of gay jokes. That's just how comedy was, you have to just kind of scroll twitter when Graham Chapman comes in dressed as an "African tribesman" stereotype, and wait to get to the cheese shop sketch.

I mean, back in the 80s I was a big fan of Revenge Of The Nerds; now I watch it and they're straight-up sex offenders.

That last exchange with 24: "Why did you buckle up???" "I DON'T KNOW!!!" was so perfect.

Neil's evolution, from Fat Neil to Real Neil With Pipes Of Steel to Vicky's Boyfriend And A Crusader Against Bear-Related Offensiveness, was painted in broad strokes and thrilling to watch.

Reply to Which movies do you believe didn't deserve the sequel they got or the franchise that it became? by Imposingtitle
First Blood was a chilling story of how veterans of the Vietnam war were abandoned by the government that sent them to war, and abused by people back home. Rambo: First Blood Part 2 was a revenge fantasy for baby boomers whose ego couldn't handle the US losing the war.

And most importantly, punch those people who are always like, "put down the phone and enjoy the moment, you're never going to watch this video," and all that other shit they say.

I may or may not have outlined how a remake could be done. See, it's become a meme that closed-down retail stores get repurposed as "Seasons Halloween Stores," selling costumes, masks, and makeup by the Silver Shamrock company...

Reply to What's your favorite "fake out" campaign for a movie that was secretly a difference movie? by nicknacc
When Ridley Scott was making Prometheus, it was a badly-kept secret that it was an Alien prequel.
And similar to your premise, the twist in M. Night Shyamalan's Split was that we had been watching a sequel to Unbreakable.

That's if you clap twice. You clap once - and only once - to sync your sound.
You don't wanna know what happens in you clap thrice.

And if there's no clapperboard, just clap your hands.
