LOL!!!
Do you think Ice-T and Ice Cube had to negotiate which one would get called “Ice” on set?
The Wave (2029)
A good film about a pent up guy who has one night of partying. Clocks in under 1 1/2 hours and does a pretty good job so I give it kudos for not being bloated
8/10
That’s great, but is AOC president?
Luckily Bill Paxton and William Sadler were able to sidestep that issue!
Rush Hour is on right now, which makes me wonder why Chris Tucker didn’t become a big long-term star.
(Unless he simply chose not to. I know he’s gone back to stand-up.)
An interesting question. I recall it being a choice.
He remained very popular and was on a meteoric rise from his first appearance in Meteor Man and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper through Rush Hour 2.
Of course that’s only a period of about eleven years (1992-2003). What happened in the seventeen years since then? As I remember it, he made a choice. He did Friday and then found God again. His grandma told him he couldn’t live in sin peddling marijuana in profanity-laced movies. He was raised Pentecostal, and that’s a core of shame that tends to guide a person to their dying breath.
He says he about faced because he was never paid for Friday, but my gossip-laden mind remembers things differently.
I love watching old movies and seeing actors who showed up in more recent stuff and going “OMG it’s that guy!”
I rewatched “The Firm” on Hulu tonight, remember the firm hitmen who whacked Gary Busey?
Look at these guys!
American Beauty
8/10.
Having seen a lot of jokes about floating trash bags I went in expecting a movie that took itself too seriously but the combination of serious acted moments and overwrought camp worked for me.
love this movie, one of my favorites
Ad Astra
2.5/5
Never approaches the quality of its obvious influences (2001 and Apocalypse Now, with a bit of Gravity thrown in for good measure).
Ok but something of a let down with a predictable cheesy ending to boot.
I fell asleep during Goblet of Fire, but it was a midnight screening for a terrible movie. I felt no guilt or shame.
I chugged 2 40s in 30 minutes before CB4 and ended up in the bathroom for most of the movie in and out of being passed out with friends checking in on me. That count?
Julian Assange and Brian stelter
Rifftrax has a commentary track for this:
I know you know Jigsaw but do you remember what Sopranos ep the guy on the left was in? I totally did not until I rewatched this!
I always liked that scene.
I think it was the same episode that had Omar (Michael K Williams) in jt. Idk what the name of the episode was but it had the storyline of AJ being AJ and Jackie Jr getting got.
Why is that guys in the Army, or like spies, do that 0 thing when they tell time?
That will be made abundantly clear to you.
