Movie Thread

I've heard Nic Cage and Will Smith are like the two A-list actors with the longest list of major "you turned down that " roles. Cage apparently also turned down Neo/The Matrix, and that was within a few months of turning down Aragorn/LOTR. Now, I still have a hard time comprehending they not only of...

Yes, everything about how GB84 turned out was practically perfect in every way, and any changes to story/script/casting.... any of the known 'alt' versions, really, would've lessened the final result.

The original idea for GB84 was to have John Belushi and Eddie Murphy in the Venkman and Zeddemore roles, respectively. Belushi died, and Murphy declined in order to make Beverly Hills Cop.

On a side note the OG 84 movie was on TV last night and I caught the last hour or so. Even with commercials breaking the flow it's just a perfect movie. Things 50-year old me understand implicitly that 10-year old me sitting in the movie theater didn't care about: The EPA guy was right all along, a...

Well at least one of the actual shooters is on video barking into camera about something (probably about how great Allah is), so they should be able to do a matchy-match thing with that guy. I think he's also on video repeatedly slashing someone's throat. Bombing suspects are a different breed in te...

Thread of legal hubbub

I'm not sure how they do it now, but at least at one time you couldn't 'purchase' the new limited-edition Ferraris at all. They were conditionally leased. The goal was to inhibit the ability of speculators who were buying up their super/hypercar models and then immediately selling them to the highes...

Eh. I still maintain the problem isn't the wack-a-loons in Congress. It's the fact that those wack-a-loons are far more representative of the general baseline in 2024.

I thought Solo was fine. No harm no foul kind of thing. Given how badly managed the production was, that any of it ended up watchable is kind of amazing. The scene where Han and Chewie meet teeters on the edge of too silly for its own good. But I think the tech that was developed for the movie was t...

That has been some common speculation. If it is him, he'd only be a teenager.... it would make more (timeline) sense if it was his master, but I think Darth P's master was a non-human, the teaser focuses on a human hand, and the dark character over the pool of water looks humanoid. So I don't know w...

San Diego is conveniently located for travelers, but it's in a s**t spot for pilots. You basically have to fly amongst skyscrapers to get to it, and land over elevated terrain and a multi-story parking structure at the approach end threshold. Reagan National is crappy like that, too.
