Tabe Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I finally got around to watching Goon and it was astonishingly good. I didn't expect it to anywhere near as good as it was. I expected a stupid sports movie but it was a lot more than that. Excellent film, highly recommended if you like hockey.Yes! That movie was great. Sooooooo much better than you expect based on the synopsis and cast. Semi-true story, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 22 Jump Street was really fucking funny. As good if not better than the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 This was on American Psycho's IMDB page: Looking for a way to create the character of Patrick Bateman, Christian Bale stumbled onto a Tom Cruise appearance on David Letterman. According to American Psycho director Mary Harron, Bale saw in Cruise “this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes” and Bale subsequently based the character of Bateman on that. I so want this to be true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I like to think Christian Bale managed to catch on before almost everyone else that there was something downright off about Tom Cruise. Another reason to love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The success of Maleficent and Bates Motel gives me hope that we'll see a trend of movies/TV shows told from the bad guy's point of view. Like, Hans Gruber's life in the German underworld before Die Hard or Cruela De Vil as a business woman driven mad by office politics and casual sexism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Cruella De Vil is already in pre-production. "Do you hate dogs? Then you're gonna love Cruella De Vil!" Seriously, I can see where you can write a story that makes Maleficent somewhat sympathetic...you got a long ways to go to make noted a noted furrier sympathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 What about the part where Anita and Cruela were good friends in college? She couldn't have been that bad if Anita was at least somewhat willing to put up with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The hunter who off'd Bambi's mom. Maybe he didn't even like hunting but his dad pressured him into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Perhaps the witch who curses the Prince in Beauty in the Beast. Always struck me as odd that a child should be punished for not admitting a total stranger into their home during the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The hunter who off'd Bambi's mom. Maybe he didn't even like hunting but his dad pressured him into it. And he spent his life atoning. But not by helping deer...by stalking and killing hunters. I see no reason this movie doesn't get made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 A child and all of his household staff, no less. That's what I always thought was a dick move. All the innocent servants too? They have to spend their lives as inanimate objects for something that wasn't anything to do with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think Fowler was hinting at the fact that maybe, just maybe, the child wasn't so alone and helpless after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 No, it's an utter dick move. I mean, yeah, the kid was a selfish brat, but the rest of them certainly didn't have any say over what a Prince decides to do with an old beggar woman at the door, right?

piranesi Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think I said out loud to someone during the Oscars when Les Mis kept winning: "So, they have to do Wicked now, right? It's impossible not to, right?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
