    I kind of think Russell Crowe is really bad

    But that looks pretty good
    I don't like him a lot of the time but this looks like a good role for him

    Especially opposite Gosling who is also acting against type in a hilarious way

    "It's a Shane Blank film" is enough to have me reaching for cash but then you add "about private eyes" and, look, I'm ALREADY getting the money out, okay?

    Also, that bit in the toilet stall was some fucking MASTER CLASS physical comedy, and I am legitimately impressed with Ryan Gosling

    I knew he could be clever, but I didn't know he had that particular skillset in him

    God of Cookery is the only "funny martial arts" movie I've seen

    It's real good!

    I saw god of cookery after seeing his other movies and I actually didn't like it very much

    Partly because the humor seemed a little more juvenile but also it confirmed that steven chow can apparently only make one movie and I'd already seen that movie done better twice before

    His 90s movies were very heavy on Cantonese puns and wordplay, and were made mainly for a Hong Kong audience. Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle just doubled down on the visual humor, which helped their performance worldwide.

    I think at one point he was in one or two movies a year for several years consecutively.

    Ah well maybe he really can do different movies and I just haven't seen enough of them, but I definitely didn't enjoy god of cookery enough to want to seek out any of his other older movies

    Which kinda bummed me out because I liked shaolin soccer and kung fu hustle a lot (especially kung fu hustle)

    The thing about the genre of humor that many of his movies are in is that it's best enjoyed with at least a passing familiarity with Cantonese. Like, you can still enjoy it based solely on subtitles, but wordplay doesn't always make it intact through translation.

    Then there's the separate issue of them being Hong Kong 90s, so not only do you have to get over the language barrier, you've also got to get over another part of the world's version of the 90s.

    Right sure, but like he does make different movies right

    Like the 3 I've seen all felt basically the same, up to and including an unattractive who loves him but he doesn't notice or like her until she does something to become pretty (though I guess in kung fu hustle she was pretty but mute and he didn't like her until he realized his connection to her and also he stopped being an awful person)

    Maybe I just can't enjoy 90s kung fu movies like I used to

    Man, I can never be disappointed in 90s kung fu.

    90s kung fu is awesome and has my favorite martial arts film in it!

    The Matrix?

    Pssh.....

    The Matrix has nothing on my bae, Rumble in the Bronx.

    I wonder if Shane Black is ever even a little embarrassed when he has to tell someone "yes, this one is Christmastime again i just like it okay"

    Or he's just full-on "OF COURSE IT'S CHRISTMAS AGAIN WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO"

    At this point in his career, I dearly hope it's the latter.

    FOR THE RECORD

    THAT COMMENT ABOUT THE MATRIX BEING THE BEST KUNG FU MOVIE OF THE 90'S WAS INTENDED AS A JOKE SO SOMEONE COULD SET ME UP TO SAY "I KNOW KUNG FU"

    IT FAILED AND PEOPLE TOOK ME SERIOUSLY.

    I AM SORRY.

    Fateful Findings was pretty fun

    It's kind of too poorly made though

    Like, I enjoyed it, but it didn't quite hit that sweet spot that The Room did

    Well of course not alone

    Watching a movie like that alone is an exercise in pain and misery

    But a room full of people? Or even a skype call full of people? That's ideal

    I'm just so glad that Michael B. Jordan actually got a good role, after the travesty that was Fantastic Four. He's definitely one to look out for.

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    I mean, Michael B. Jordan has had good roles before.

    Wallace and Vince are two of the most memorable characters of two of the best tv shows of the last decade

    and if you're talking film, he got a lot of attention for Fruitvale Station.

    He's already had a pretty solid career. The Wire and Friday Night Lights, Fruitvale Station, a darn fine turn in Chronicle - man's gonna be in it for the long haul.

    Ryan Coogler is in talks to direct Black Panther for Marvel

    And I really want him to do that, but I also want him to just make another Creed

    Maybe doing Black Panther first will give him more space to really think of some great stuff for it, though
