The first time I ever saw Perlman was with Linda Hamilton on TV's Beauty and the Beast. But after T2 I wasn't sure who's who, but anyway. You need a burly ugly dude to play the role of a burly ugly dude, he's your man.

See? He was Clayface in B:TAS? WTF?

Clayface, I actually knew about. On second viewing anyway.

But sadly (or not), he's got legit acting chops. I wish he was given more roles that let him expand on that. At least even an animated series where he's in a starring role. I think Hellboy and Clay (in Sons of Anarchy) are probably the only roles in the last ten years or so that have allowed him to have any sort of depth. Otherwise, he's just some throwaway character. Don't make Perlman the throwaway character, Hollywood. That's what the Hemsworth brothers are for.

Last one I watched in the theatres was "Shut In". It was ok. Ive noticed Naomi (is that her name?) has been showing her boobs more freely in her latest movies. Its like the older she gets the more she wants to show them off.

Do you mean Naomi "Her best role was Jet Girl in 'Tank Girl'" Watts?

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #4114 on:** Nov 30, 2016, 03:55:10 AM »

Yes yes. Ive never seen that movie but the last couple ones Ive seen of her , you can see her boobs at least once

Watched Moana. Loved it. Even tho I cant stand the Rock.

Oh, God, I can't stand him either. Which is sorta a shame if only because he seems like a genuinely nice guy. But, yeah, I can't stand him.

joe · « **Reply #4117 on:** Dec 11, 2016, 02:44:59 PM »

The Rock is great in Moana. He sings. It's great.

Also, Jemaine Clement's scene is glorious.

Yes everybody always talks about how nice he is, etc.
I have to say he was pretty funny on those short videos he made with Kevin Hart for their movie. You know the ones where they are on set and start screaming to each other.

Shit, I just looked that guy up and he's fuckin' Nigel from Rio. Ha ha. I don't know what to think about this.

joe · « **Reply #4121 on:** Dec 13, 2016, 12:32:07 PM »

Yup. And his voice just is what it is. He never tries to disguise it or anything.

He was the only good thing about Men in Black 3.

I'm shocked MiB3 had a "good thing" at all.

joe · « **Reply #4123 on:** Dec 14, 2016, 09:14:48 AM »

It did! The villain, played by Jemaine Clement. I thought he looked like a demented Randy Savage. An even more demented Randy Savage.

B E C K · « **Reply #4124 on:** Dec 14, 2016, 02:20:13 PM »

Did he manage to save the movie or he wasn't enough? Also, heh, Nicole Schresdkngbirger or whatever was apparently in that movie and nearly as orange as our PEOTUS. Yikes.

joe · « **Reply #4125 on:** Dec 14, 2016, 06:39:31 PM »

No! God, no. MiB3 is trash. I place it above 2, but that was a complete disaster.

I've probably mentioned this before, but I really liked the MiB cartoon. It built off the movies, but it really did stand on its own. I've heard people say it's more like the comics, but I've never read those so I can't comment.

Men in Black. It was great, until it wasn't.

Oh, I'll bet the CG has aged horrendously. I suppose you can say that about most CG, including Jurassic Park! A lot of people like to claim Jurassic Park's CG is timeless, but to that I say BULLSHIT.

Yeah, the cartoon was neato. I also heard that comparison to the comics but I've never read them either.

Yeah, I can't wait until they add the feathers to the dinosaurs in the new Blu-Ray Encased in Amber edition.

I used to tolerate him just fine but I can't figure out when that tolerance ended. Watching stuff with Will Smith in it now is like when I started rewatching films with Robin Williams in them. It's this painful experience where you see this desperate man grasping for a positive reaction wherever he can find one and I just pity him instead of enjoying myself. Looking at Smith's filmography, it seems it happened around Wild Wild West. Hollywood kept trying to make the Summer of Will happen year after year and that year was fuckin' enough.

For whatever reason, I didn't like him in the Fresh Prince of Bel-air. He did a good job and I don't hate the show (and really the story lines and the rest of the cast save it), but I think he reminded me too much of this guy at (middle) school that liked to make me the butt of his jokes. So the Will "character" (in quotes because he was freakin' Will) chafed me big time. But I had no problems with him in Independence Day. Well, before. I can't watch that movie now.

And I don't know why his kids make me gag. Ok, never mind. Pulled this gem off of Wikipedia and it's shit like this:

Quote

Smith's father, Will, revealed that his son sought an emancipation ruling, with the consent of his parents, as a fifteenth-birthday present. Will revealed to the media that Smith's primary motivation is the establishment of his own residence and also explained that his children are not subject to strict parenting conduct: "We generally don't believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life."[15] However, Smith and his father appeared together on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 15, 2013, and Smith said:

Quote
The thing that people don't get is everything at his house is free. So I can get anything and everything at his house, so I'm going to be there for 20, 30 more years. He [Will Smith] says that as soon as I have a movie that's bigger than one of his movies I can get my own house.[16]

There are so many fuckin' things wrong with that... but this post is already too long and I don't want to add forty more paragraphs to it.

He's a comedian from New Zealand.

I think I watched MiB3. Didn't they go back in time or something? That's about all I can remember of it. The only reason I remember more about that than 2 is because it's newer. The first movie was fun, and the cartoon was good...never read the comic.

Good CGI is always just five-to-ten years away from being bad CGI. And nowhere is that difference more profound than when watching old movies in HD or UHD. It's worse than bad compositing used to be.

I know I didn't watch it and I remember they go back in time. Not sure why I retained any info about MiB3 but there ya go.

On the flip side tho', it's even more jarring to me when I'm watching an old movie and they've "fixed" things with CG. So now you have an old-ass movie with shiny graphics. And even MORE jarring when you watch five years after that: the movie is dated and the graphics are dated but from different time periods. And I don't know if it's just me, but the older CG and special effects stuff has a charm to it that can't be duplicated with modern era (2000-onward) CG.

joe · « **Reply #4130 on:** Dec 16, 2016, 02:52:33 AM »

Speaking of bad CG, you should see what they did in Rogue One. Holy fuck. I can hardly believe it. It's a real "What were they thinking?" kind of deal. Fuck, man. Just wait until you see it. Hilarious and embarrassing.

And I didn't care for the movie at all, just in general. When it wasn't boring me, it was pissing me off. Fuck Rogue One.

You know what was a good movie? Nocturnal Animals. Disturbing, but good.

B E C K · « **Reply #4131 on:** Dec 17, 2016, 04:15:30 AM »

I saw the ending to Rogue One on Reddit, ho ho. Are you referring to the ghost of Peter Cushing? I imagine if I had seen the movie and written a review, it would be this one giving the movie a C. This person really hated fakey Tarks.

joe · « **Reply #4132 on:** Dec 17, 2016, 06:12:40 PM »

He looked like shit. Like, I can't even describe to you how ridiculous it was. And not only that! Peter Cushing was 5'10". David Prowse was 6'4". In St*r WarzzZZ, Darth Vader dwarfs Tarkin, anyone can see that.

In Rogue One, Tarkin stands a head above every character he interacts with! Like, what in the fuck even? How did they not notice this and correct it?

Compared to all the other trash that goes on in the movie though, that's just a minor nitpick.

But then as an added gut punch the movie ends with CG young Carrie Fisher LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME IT'S SO AWFUL.

I hate this garbage. I hate that it will make obscene amounts of money. I hate that people will begin referring to it as the "best" St*r WarzzZZ movie, and their "favorite" St*r WarzzZZ movie.

Fuck all of humanity.

And Season's Greetings!

Yeah, a friend of mine went to see it today and pronounced thereafter it the third best after Empire and New Hope. So anyway. I still have no desire to see it unless a passle of my folks want to go en masse and I go along out of sheer loneliness.

Not to add to your list... well, actually, it DOES add to your list, but someone pointed out that in Vader's slaughter scene or whatever, he's very nimble. He's not bouncing off walls or nothing but he moves like a young dude instead of the slow-ass, crusty albino-looking fucker we met in ANH.

I was wondering something maybe you could answer since you've seen this film.. would the movie have been helped by fewer rebels involved? As in, do you think it would have benefited to cut characters and streamline the story? It seemed like--at face value--the movie may have worked better with just two human rebel characters and the droid. From what I heard, the droid and Felicity Jones's tight ass were the only real stars here.

joe · « **Reply #4135 on:** Dec 18, 2016, 01:37:58 AM »

I don't know. I really don't. I didn't like any of the characters. Every time the robot started to win me over, he would do or say some hackneyed bullshit that had all the Rhodes Scholars in the crowd hootin' and hollerin' to the rafters. Fuck right off. They telegraphed every gag from a mile out, how could anyone possibly find that shit funny?

As for the Vader thing? Haha! Yeah, it must have been his last hurrah. After that brutal onslaught, he was winded for the rest of his life.

Also, James Earl Jones is 85, and you can hear every year in his delivery. I mean, sure, it's authentic Vader, but...

B E C K · « **Reply #4136 on:** Dec 18, 2016, 01:58:34 AM »

Would it have helped if the group was already a cohesive team of old friends and jumped right into the mission of stealing the plans? Because it also seemed like the movie was presenting an origin story (the formation of this rebel group) + their mission. But they didn't have the space. No pun intended. Ho ho.

joe · « **Reply #4137 on:** Dec 18, 2016, 12:21:02 PM »

No, the way they came together was stupid. It was just all of a sudden they decided to rally behind her. Why? Who the fuck was she? Nobody! There's a scene towards the end where she makes this "rousing" speech during a meeting, and it's like why is anyone even suffering you to talk? But nope, a bunch of randoes decide she'll be their Joan of Arc stand-in, and charge off to their inevitable doom.

And don't even get me started on the part where "May the Force be with you" plays over the intercom while the pilots are manning their ships. Like get the fuck out with that!

Did you read about the part where they bumped into the ugly guy and the guy with balls for a mouth in the crowded street scene? You know the guys from the original, Obi-Wan cuts one of their arms off? Fucking why?! Why would they put them in this?!

"Membuh dose guys from Mos Eisley? You membuh?"
"I wemembuh! Dose guys was cool!"

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

I do like how someone can be so unattractive that even though he always hangs out with a dude with balls for a mouth, he still manages to be referred to as the ugly guy.
