A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I can't believe "What do you say I take you home and eat your pussy?" is an actual line in a non-porn movie. I'm not sure Shark Attack 3: Megalodon counts as a movie, but still.
I can't believe I knew what movie that was from before I got to that part of the paragraph.
The 100 Cheesiest Movie Quotes of All Time
There's a lot of Arnold there. I'm just happy I couldn't identify most of those.
I'm just happy I couldn't identify most of those.
I was shocked I at how many I could, especially of his.
"You're fired!" is one of my favorites, actually.
Anti-racebending. Let the uproar begin.
I read the comments and ... wow.
I do have a question though. I understand that Thor is a comic book movie so this isn't really applying to that, except that it sparked the questions in my head. The mythology and dogma of certain parts of the world are sometimes just as integral into the make-up and identity of that country as, say, the non-mythological government (Dubya not withstanding) or people that shaped that country. I wonder if there's a difference between color-blind casting on mythological people and real-life people have the same reaction if say a black British actress were cast as Queen Elizabeth I or an Asian actor were cast as Thomas Jefferson?
Something in my head says that it's totally different, but something else says, "Why?" Or is it just that my asshole is showing again?
I feel like ones like "I'm the king of the world!" and "I know Kung Fu" were fine in context -- the first time you heard them.
I refuse to have any charitable thoughts about Titanic. But...I haven't seen it. I'm just biased like that.
As for the race stuff--if Avatar: The Last Airbender is supposed to be all Asian, Asgard is supposed to be all white. I have no problem with that. He's a good actor, he'll do a good job, but I totally see where the beef is coming from.
I do not have that stance with Shakespeare, though.
Yeah, with fiction it shouldn't matter.
Even Othello?
As for the race stuff--if Avatar: The Last Airbender is supposed to be all Asian, Asgard is supposed to be all white.
There weren't any Asians at all in the original casting of Airbender.
