This week it'll be Slither, but I am thusly reminded to, when editing Slither, potentially edit up Priest as well and hide it in a secret link somewhere.
Dude, we should do that. Hide it in a secret link somewhere on the site. Lemme talk to Holden.
I see. Another "fix-it" weekend, like the Lost World/Temple of Doom double-feature. How exciting!
god, I'm gonna miss this. Tron Legacy is one of those movies I defend vigorously, but no one else seems to like. The thread for that one should be interesting, at least.
I thought you guys weren't gonna do Ironman 2 due to Ryan's pretty much defacto video on the subject?
Yay Tron Legacy, the most boring action-adventure movie ever made, except for maybe the first Tron. It kills me how a studio can spend 200 million dollars on a movie like that and have maybe 15 minutes of action in the entire thing. On top of that Joseph Kasinski shoots everything with this weird detached style so there's 0 excitement at any point. This should've been an exciting escape-from-the-computer/chase movie, instead its people talking exposition at each other.
Also, I really hope you guys address Chekhov's light-cycle in this movie.
"See that over there, that was your Dad's old light-cycle, still the fastest thing on the grid"
Next scene
Sam gives it away to a random homeless guy and its never seen or used again
I think its more that its just the lamest way of using it imaginable. In a good movie, if you introduce the bike like that, you expect it to play a role in the climax, unless they're explicitly trying to break conventions, which I don't think is the case here. It's like if they just used the Millennium Falcon once to fly from one planet to a second planet, and it never showed up again.
I live on the East Coast, where we are currently experiencing an inexplicable blizzard, and we've evacuated our house, so I'll be watching this show from the safety of a hotel room. It'll be like an adventure!
Due to my love for Tron growing up I enjoyed Tron Legacy. So this should be interesting.
Hopefully not many people from England will miss the first hour cos we've just had the clocks turned back and iiuc you don't do that in America (or at least not yet).
I know the Iron Man 2 commentary hasn't been released yet but you guys were trying to work out why they cast a different Howard Stark in Captain America but you didn't come to the most obvious conclusion- they needed to cast an actor 20-whatever years younger than John Slattery. I don't think it is for any reason other than that ![]()
I thought the question was just why cast a different actor than the one used in Iron Man 1. That was Gerard Sanders. The role was just background but he looked the part. John Slattery is great, but it would have been a nice break for a guy like Sanders to carry on that little role.
Now I suppose that Howard Stark is going to become a role like Felix Leiter in the Bond films, being recast higgledy piggledy every time it comes up.
Was it? They did mention Howard Stark in Captain America in the same conversation though. I must have misheard ![]()
(I had forgotten that Howard was even in the first film
)
Is this weekend another "we're not doing one" weekend ?
No, sorry, The Social Network and Tropic Thunder on Sunday. Not sure when yet.
Oh cool, that's a good selection. Tropic Thunder I think could've been great but is waaay too broad for my taste, if someone took that premise and made a more low-key comedy out of it I think it could've been amazing, though Downey Jr is pretty brilliant in it.
Social Network is truly excellent, and especially as someone in the software field, I can tell you that it not only nails all the technical details of programming (down to proper linux commands and server architecture) in a way I never see in movies, but also captures the whole general "vibe" of sitting around in college coding and working on startup ideas (complete with whiteboard diagrams, being "plugged in" and coding for hours, the late night drinking).
No, that's a "sorry for posting it so late, but we actually are doing one this weekend", or at least that's how I read it.
