    The first one was pretty good. It's nice to see Sandler as more of the straight man in a movie and not some caricature with a weird voice. His character is also competent, he just doesn't want to work while on vacation, which, relatable.

    My parents bought, I think every single Calvin and Hobbes book through the scholastic book fair as me and my brother grew up. We would read them over and over again.

    Unfortunately my parents constant smoking in the house destroyed all of these books.

    So I purchased a complete leather bound collection of the entire run and it has some nice little notes and memories written by Waterson.

    Do you have a link?

    The first movie is helped out immensely by Sandler just not allowing his group of friends to star in the film alongside him.

    Instead its cast with actual character actors.

    What’s really funny about this year is it’s the one year I was like “man this comic book movie might actually deserve some Oscar nominations!”

    And then The Batman got passed over for cinematography, soundtrack, editing, and production design! At least it got that makeup nomination, those people worked hard to make Colin Farrell unrecognizable and they deserve a pat on the back

    Gonna wait until Calvin and Hobbes are in the public domain and then do a fucked up gritty live action thing where Calvin's a serial killer who hallucinates a tiger that tells him to kill

    The good news is that you don't have to wait for it to go public domain if you go meta with it.

    Let us all take a moment to review and post about our favorite 'that guy/girl!'

    As in, those character actors who seemingly are in everything and don't (usually) get the credit they deserve.

    To begin I want to talk about William Fichtner.

    tede6jm7evl5.jpeg

    I think I first noticed Fichtner in Go (1999), a movie that features approximately ninety actors who are all good and have various degrees of success. Fichtner plays a guy who either is a cop trying to bust people or a very nice man who wants to live out a cuckold fantasy.

    The next time I noticed Fichtner was in The Dark Knight where he plays 'The Bank Manager's with enough juice to make his mark on like a three hour movie that features another ninety good actors that have various degrees of celebrity.

    Fichtner rules!

    Catching up on movies, gonna try to see as many Oscar nominated flicks as I can. Less because I expect them all to be good, more because I like to have a framework/do a project, and one arbitrary theme is as good as another.

    Watched Banshees of Inishirin Saturday. Liked it, couldn't quite get to loving it. Dynamite performances, some stunningly gorgeous cinematography, but the story trafficked in a sort of weightless nihilism that I associate with a specific strain of theater. "A small, quiet story in which people hurt each other, As Is Human Nature." Where it feels more like an intellectual exercise than anything deeply felt. I can appreciate it abstractly, I can see what it was going for and I think it hits it mark, it's just... Not a mark I'm especially interested in. I don't regret watching it or anything, but it wasn't really my scene.

    Watched Top Gun: Maverick last night. I have no affection whatsoever for the original, I think it's insane that a movie filmed almost 40 years later tells a story that seemingly occurs less than a generation later, I thought every scene with Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connolly was interminably dull. And yet, the twenty minutes of "actually doing the mission" fuckin' ripped. They clearly lay out the rules, the obstacles, and the emotional stakes, and then they fuckin' go do the thing. The movie overall didn't really work for me, but those twenty minutes sure did, and I once again find myself wishing that Disney hadn't eaten the entire box office. We used to get five or six, "Make a plan, execute the plan" action movies a year, and that roadmap has died, which makes something like Maverick feel fresh and exciting again, somehow. Instead of having to compromise with this movie I didn't like huge chunks of, I wish we could just... Have more movies that were like this, but better.

    Banshees is one of those movies where I feel like it probably means a lot more to someone else than it does to me. Like maybe if I knew more about the history of Ireland, it would have more of an impact? I dunno. All the stuff on the surface was really well done, but I'm not really interested in watching it again or anything.

    He was great as Anubis in drive angry too.

    Also I dunno why my brain made this connection while looking at his roles but I'm now picturing him as Oberstein from LOGH.

    Banshees of Inishirin felt incredibly like one of McDonagh's stage plays, so I think that comparison is very correct.

    I liked it a lot, but I also read a bunch of that specific strain of theatre in my late teens and early twenties, so there's something very familiar to it.

    "How the fuck should I know?"

    I remember him in Strange Days as Vincent D'Onofrio's twitchy racist murder cop partner.

    Is it too late to pitch my script for Calvin & Hobbs & Shaw? It's about a young boy with no friends who fantasizes that this Hobbs and Shaw DVD comes to life and has adventures with him. It's like Sideicks except with Jason Statham instead of Chuck Norris.

    Dwayne Johnson unfortunately won't sign until he gets a signed note from Vin Diesel saying that Dwayne is a big strong boy and Vin has always been afraid of him, and Vin's agent is stonewalling us

    I mean, if anything, Dwayne demanded that in his contract because Vin did first, and no one gets a scoop of ice cream that I don't get.

    It reads like a
    House of Leaves meets David Lynch, via a malevolent entity that gets off on specifically torturing small children horror to me

    So even though the basic premise very much appeals to me in terms of "creep-factor", I'll likely never watch it because "bad things happen to small children" is a genre I can't willingly watch anymore (Silent Hill 1 was scary to me when it came out; it's literally unplayable for me now)
