RIPPA Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 -Kicking and Screaming: The Will Ferrell family soccer comedy one. It's funny. Mike Ditka steals the show every time he's on. I really enjoy this movie. It also helped introduce my Kate Walsh crush Oh and the Stevie Wonder version of "We Can Work It Out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Watched BATMAN RETURNS for the first time since I was, I dunno, 12 I think. It's just awful. I've tried re-watching some Tim Burton stuff recently and yeah, it's all pretty much terrible, except Edward Scissorhands (edited to add Beetlejuice, duh) and maybe Big Fish. Then again, the last movie of his I saw and really liked was Big Fish, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I remember being majorly impressed with Burton's Gotham. Then I saw Dark City and was, like, oh, yeah. THAT's how Gotham should have looked. And the Batman films seemed way less impressive. Proyas out-Burton'd Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I re-watched all of the following this week Shouldn't you be, like, tabulating results or something? Battling a possible toothache. I'll work on them after I either go to the dentist or power through it. Math and pain are not good partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 A rewatch. Will I still like it? Am I moron for watching it a second time? Let's find out... Unbreakable - Bruce Willis is David Dunn, a security guard. Samuel L Jackson is Elijah Price, the owner of an art gallery that exclusively sells comic book art. They meet and become friends when Willis is involved in a train derailment that kills every passenger onboard - except him. And he walks away completely uninjured. Price hears about him and contacts Dunn, letting him know that he thinks Dunn is some kind of comic book hero brought to life. Slowly, this idea takes hold in Dunn as well and we see him destroying his bench press personal best, learning of his powers of detection and so on. This is an M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie from back when M. Night was still making good stuff. This isn't on the level of The Sixth Sense but is still very good. Of course there's a twist, as well. And, yeah, there's some ridiculous moments, in particular a scene with Dunn's kid, but this is generally really good. And, hey, it's got Robin Wright, too. 7/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I was good with Unbreakable until they got to the Kryptonite part. His weakness is water? Really? 71% of the world's surface and 66% of his body mass is composed of the stuff. He loses his powers if he gets wet but he's fine if he's thirsty and grabs a Dasani out of the fridge? What kind of bullshit is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think the most ridiculous scene in Unbreakable is, when Willis' calls his employer to ask how many sick days he's had and finds out he's never been sick. I think you would know, if you had never been sick once in your entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of bullshit is this? Did he lose his powers or was it just that he had a phobia of it b/c he nearly drowned as a kid Been a while since I've seen the movie so don't know if they made that distinction.

What kind of bullshit is this? His weakness was getting water in his lungs, not water itself. Hence drowning being a big problem or the facedown in the rain puddle thing.

It wasn't that water shut off his powers, Its that drowning in water is the only thing that can kill him. EDIT: We're putting one of the twists in a 15 year old movie in spoiler tags? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Shyamalan so loved that twist from Unbreakable that he made the Aliens in Signs weakness be water too. And it made even less sense then! If I called my boss and asked him how many sick days I've taken, he'd say none. So would my previous boss. I think the last sick day I took was in, like 2006? The one before that was in 2000. I think I only had two in the 90s as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 To be honest, until I had kids, I never took a sick day, and even now, I only really ever take sick days if the kids are sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I saw Unbreakable twice, while riding the first class bus from Mexico City to Oaxaca City. It was subbed in Spanish, so I got many a giggle at "Senor Vidrio". I remember thinking it was alright, probably Shillelagh-man's best. I would say that 90% of my "sick" days are "hungover" days, "out too late at a show and tired" days, and "can't bring myself to GAF" days (aka mental health days). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
