With Chris O'Donnell too! 

Think of it as the Tim Curry one. He's great as the evil Cardinal. 

ETA: Trailers from the 90's. What a time:

 

I wanted the remake where Danny McBride was Porthos.

I had no idea about it until I heard about the movie.

Personally I hope it's one of those things like Jurassic Park or Godzilla where by the end Cocaine Bear is protecting the humans from Meth Lion.

Edit: Meth Lion of course tears his victims apart because he's very confident that he can put them back together again.

You need to copyright this quickly. It could be a whole new Monster universe franchise!

Gary Oldman, too. 

Does Drexl Spivey not count? Because that’s probably my favorite Oldman performance. That one scene was so mesmerizing. I re-watch it often.

Edit: I’ve seen True Romance, as a whole, twice and it’s been a few years but my reaction is generally “I can’t believe Tarantino didn’t direct this.”

I thought it made perfect sense.  He became his old man and no son was ever going to be good enough the same way he was never good enough.

Actually I do like that tying along with the Daddy issues faced by Butcher, Homelander and Ryan. It just didn't click in the moment so I might have missed something I can catch on re-watch. 

Just finished it. I wasn't as down on the finale as the rest of you it seems, though I agree it was the weakest of the 3 season finales and it does set the story back to square 1. At the beginning, Butcher's motivation to keep going after Homelander right from the get-go didn't quite for me, and even moreso that that the rest of the Boys followed. I did like that Butcher became the same, almost indistinguishable asshole that Homelander is. 

Soldier Boy's motivation to kill Homelander and beat up Ryan didn't jive with me. If it was supposed to be due to PTSD-style paranoia and machinations... well it didn't come off that way and his heel turn was basically the writers needing a new Stormfront in order to preserve Homelander in the finishing act of the storyline. Felt like they could have done something less predictable.

Alright gonna go watch Pine Barrens.

I still can't believe I have yet to see Thief. Going to go find it and queue it up as my next watch.

Just watched it a few weeks ago. If you like Heat or any Michael Mann movie, you should like it.

Edit: It's streaming for free in the US on Tubi.

It is my hope that Homelander's character arc culminates with him slaughtering millions of people in the most comically gory way. I doubt the writers will go that way because I suppose it would be deemed too edgy and too much of a "loss" for the protagonists, but for me that would be one of the few satisfying ways to conclude this kind of character, with all the excellent build up they have managed.

You might enjoy Invincible, the animated series on Amazon Prime (US), if you haven't checked it out yet. 

The episode 4 description is something else.

Ok I finished the first episode. That's quite the start. I was glued and giggling throughout a lot of the scenes. Anthony Starr killed it as Homelander. He's really coming into the role. 

I thought it was funny that even in a Top Gun 2 movie there was the full screen shot of Tom Cruise running. He didn’t do that in the original or in any of the 80s movies or even the original Mission Impossible movie. Feel like he’s now just always trying to push limits in a scene even when it’s not entirely necessary.

I don't know how I totally missed the "Thank you" message but I did. Was it basically text on the screen or was it actually Cruise on camera thanking the audience?

Yeah, there was a time where he did the 'small' movies that balanced out the big action flicks, but he hasn't done that in a looong time.  He's probably already too old to do his own stunts, I mean, he's 59.  I've been surprised that Mission Impossible continues to chug along since those movies to me are horrible, worse than Marvel, but they go on and on.  

Oh he's still doing his own stunts. Pretty sure the whole Top Gun cast were inside the actual planes (though not actually doing the flying).

In the last Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 trailer, there's a shot of Cruise riding a motorcycle off a cliff. That's most likely him doing it considering he clipped himself to the outside of a plane that was taking off in one of the previous movies. MI: Dead Reckoning Part 2 appears to be the final film of the Mission Impossible franchise but studios aren't going to stop making Cruise-led action movies especially with Top Gun 2 being his highest-earning movie in his career.

  I'm glad he's gotten a bookend what seems to be a huge hit at the end of his career.

I’m curious when exactly he’ll end his career given he’s been doing action movies for the last couple of decades. At some point he’s going to get too old for the stunts he does but he doesn’t appear to be slowing down at all. I wonder if he’d even be interested in going back to dramatic roles like he did in the 80s or like Jerry Maguire.

Yeah I went to the 7pm Sunday IMAX showing and it was 90-95% full. It was also my second time in theaters since the pandemic started. 

In addition to Danger Zone, I'm also looking for another rendition of Great Balls of Fire.

Ok I love this.

Also, Zach Snyder's tweet:

i dunno. i saw the preview today when we saw dr. strange.  it just didn't convey that cold war homoerotic propaganda which really made the original movie what it was.

My 2 guy friends want to go topless, oiled up, wearing sunglasses and jean shorts. No homo.

I wasn't planning to read any of the short stories since I don't quite like to go "back" to past events after finishing a series.. but shoot, ya'll have tempted me. Just put a hold on Memory's Legion. 

Yeah congrats REG!

There’s a sentence on the back of the Kansas team shirts. It looks like a quote of legislation or the Bill of Rights or something? Anyone know what it says?

I would have designed the play for Manek to take the final shot (and felt like he should have taken more shots in the 2nd half in general).

Yeah that is way too far back. I've sat in the upper section, very last row of the Chase Center for Warriors games, and they're much closer than that video. Decent seating, and I don't mind the upper section at all -- though I do prefer the corners or the sides. It is comparable to watching a game on TV but the experience is a lot different, especially when you're going with friends.

My buddy and I were trying to figure out if that was team fouls or a mistake.

Yeah some of those calls looked bad and seemed to always favor Arkansas.
