I think Tekashi Kaneshiro's character might be the same guy from Chungking, since he went mute from eating too much canned pineapples. But they left that up to your interpretation.

I loved Grosse Pointe Blank, didnt really like War Inc. all that much. I guess because its just more serious and there wasn't a fun high school reunion angle.

It was fun in a campy way, but the novel was serious and much more frightening and tense.

I thought there were some good points, with that cast there was bound to be, but it just doesnt quite live up to the slow burn dread of the novel. The book also had a better stinger of an ending.

Id love to see them do this to 2 Micheal Crichton novels, Sphere and Congo. Theyre very good books, but the films just dont do them justice.

I thought it was very good, and young naked Julie Delpy lives rent free in my head.

Maybe a musician who isnt legendarily well known, who didnt have a stratospheric rise from the start. Somebody like Greg Gonzales from Cigarettes After Sex, who recorded his debut in like 2010 or something and put it on bandcamp, and barely anyone even listened to it. Then a fan put it on youtube years later, and it suddenly went viral. Gonzales was playing in cover bands in dive bars for barely any money at the time, and when a flood of people started buying his record and the views on youtube were racking up, he said he started crying, he thought no one cared. Now at age 40 hes touring the world and while his band arent pop megastars, they are doing quite well for themselves. A lot of the music biopics are about big acts with skyrocket trajectories, so maybe Id like to see a story about a quieter triumph.

Reply to Should video game directors be talked about in the same sphere as movie directors? by OfficalNotMySalad
Its a different medium. Its like comparing book authors to directors: we could talk about them in the same sphere if we're talking about storytellers, but otherwise theyre in pretty different fields.

Yeah, hes so successful these days that he just does western roles if hes intrigued by them. He was great in Rogue One, and Im sure he'll be great in John Wick.

A Bittersweet Life has the same director and star of I Saw the Devil, its a great action film that more people should see.

Point Break is the perfect mix of goofiness, badass action, and odd bromance poignancy. Ill go with that.

Reply to The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973
Man, Nil By Mouth is depressing. Its very good, but depressing. Gary Oldman should direct more, theres some powerful emotions to that movie.

Reply to Just finished “The Notebook” by Walmartmaster
My favorite behind the scenes trivia for this: Gosling and McAdams apparently hated each other on set, got into some squabbles and would storm off the set sometimes. But they had obvious sexual chemistry, like really obvious; their hips are practically twitching for each other in some scenes. Months after the shooting was over and they were promoting the movie, apparently they just acknowledged they had the hots for each other and became an item for a while. Its like when two kids have crushes for each other and pretend they hate each other cuz they cant admit it.

He was also Nic Cage's henchman in Face/Off, the bald guy who says "No more drugs for that man."

He produced a bunch of animated films (like for Don Bluth) and shows (Animaniacs) in the 80s and 90s, i think those would be the closest you can get.

Reply to Best 3d movies to watch? by Altruistic_Space8692
Most cg animation looks great in 3d. Theyre bright and colorful, and all they had to do was shift the camera and bit to get the stereoscopic effect so it looks good.

Before Sunset. "Baby, youre gonna miss that plane." "I know."

Blade Runner was a box office flop, then they made a sequel that was also a box office flop. Both films are excellent (though the post-theatrical director's cut of the original was when it really got acclaim).

Just by hearing the synopsis, youll know immediately if its a movie for you or not. If not, then dont watch it, take a walk in the park, and smell some daisies.

Shes still hot. Perhaps she still has that angel lingerie in the closet.

Reply to Add realism by dialing back on attractive actors, give them bad teeth and hair, and have them not so eloquently well spoken. by BlessThisDay
In Where the Crawdads Sing, the main character who lives out in the marsh is treated by the townsfolk like this freak that shouldnt be trusted, but she looks like this very attractive young woman who seems like she just stepped out of a salon everyday.
