2024-03-08 06:36:55 +0000 UTCAccording to Wikipedia Geoffrey Rush has a few interesting upcoming roles: Upcoming projects In 2022, he was announced to be starring as Groucho Marx in an adaptation of the memoir Raised Eyebrows. The film will be directed by Oren Moverman and co-star Sienna Miller and Charlie Plummer. Rush said of the project that the Marx film is not a biopic, but rather a “tragic comedy about mortality”, about the last three years of Marx’s life. Rush is also set to star opposite Emma Roberts in the action-comedy film Verona Spies. In 2023 it was announced Rush would star opposite John Lithgow in the thriller The Rule of Jenny Pen.

2024-03-07 17:12:50 +0000 UTCIs this the guy who did the hotdog documentary PBS would show all the time, especially during telethons? (I found it. It was "A Hotdog Program" by the same guy, Rick Sebak)

2024-03-06 17:31:31 +0000 UTCahhh yeah I forget, I think that was probably the main coin-op TV places in the 50s and 60s.

2024-03-06 04:15:22 +0000 UTCDiners on the old route 66 style highways often had little tube TVs at all the tables. I remember by the early 90s it was mostly just Truck Stops and places for truckers. Sometimes you had to put in quarters, and could only choose from like 4 channels.

2024-03-06 02:04:29 +0000 UTCJust to answer the question of what happened to Geoffrey Rush, he was accused of some allegedly awful behaviour while in a play here in Australia a few years ago and has kind of been cancelled ever since.

2024-03-05 23:31:09 +0000 UTCOne of my friends walked out of Tár but I try to watch a movie all the way. The last one I turned off without finishing was curly sue.

2024-03-05 23:10:31 +0000 UTCYou had to be there. This movie got a huge marketing push, then the reviews came out and just killed it.

2024-03-05 22:45:49 +0000 UTCOoooh Bowfinger! I have a soft spot for Frank Oz - his Stepford Wives is /not/ good but I still have fond memories attached to it. Little Shop of Horrors is an all-time classic 🌷🦷👽🤓

2024-03-05 22:25:29 +0000 UTCI love when he’s crouched in the windowframe like a gargoyle - that’s a really funny image It was what I expected that Hot Rod movie to be

2024-03-05 22:24:54 +0000 UTCI hated Hallelujah in Watchmen! 🤣
Ryan Lancello
2024-03-05 22:20:10 +0000 UTCSo you guys are breaking up, even after the T shirts I got you two?
JokersJuicyAss
2024-03-05 22:18:08 +0000 UTCYou know what AMC is, and you know what a piston is, meanwhile Joe all the way back on the Nothing But Trouble Episode when you two were talking about Mr Bone Stripper despite the all of the Superchargers, belts (Which is correct for how a supercharger works) and how it's introduced with the sound of a V8 firing up thought it's teeth were Soup Cans, not Car Pistons

2024-03-05 22:11:32 +0000 UTCI'm starting to think 1999 is the new 1990
JokersJuicyAss
2024-03-05 22:08:57 +0000 UTCIt’s something else. I’ve come to appreciate it the older I get but I remember loathing it the first time I saw it. Happy to see Criterion stream it though.

2024-03-05 22:07:19 +0000 UTCShrek’s use of All Star is what Watchmen’s use of Hallelujah wishes it was (also in Shrek)
Mary and Steve
2024-03-05 22:00:22 +0000 UTCI know next to nothing about cars
Ryan Lancello
2024-03-05 21:57:04 +0000 UTCThough it's worth noting a couple of years before Aladdin, All Dogs go to Heaven have Burt Reynolds in the lead role

2024-03-05 21:48:06 +0000 UTCThe wagon is real, I'm on IMCDB it's a old Rambler Rebel, Rambler is what turn into AMC, which is the company that made the Pacer and Gremlin, the Pacer is the car used in Wayne's World and I'm tired of over explaining this because Joe knows nothing of cars, Ryan got this by the time I said AMC

2024-03-05 21:37:08 +0000 UTCYou may be surprised

Mary and Steve
2024-03-05 21:30:00 +0000 UTCI have never walked out a movie theater but I also never seen a bad enough movie at a theater, Transformers 3 is the closest to a bad movie but I was 9 and Ironhide was my favorite character

2024-03-05 21:28:53 +0000 UTCWe’re Back was one of my faves as a kid - same year as Jurassic Park! This is a big tangent: Do you guys remember when Harry Shearer was going thru contract negotiations and folks online were like ‘I can do the voices’ and just did one-note impressions of Flanders and Burns? That bugged me because voice acting isn’t just copying, I dunno.
Mary and Steve
2024-03-05 21:18:52 +0000 UTCSpeaking of brief reference to Tom Green, we just watched Freddy Got Fingered. That was baffling but gotta give him props for making something genuinely strange - not ‘I’m gonna be WEIRD AND WACKY check this shit out!’

2024-03-05 21:10:03 +0000 UTCSpeaking of De Niro comedy performances, just watched midnight run recently and loved it. It’s honestly better than meet the parents.

2024-03-05 21:01:04 +0000 UTCOh speaking of Smith, they're a connection to a movie I sent ya

Almost Cult Classics
2024-03-05 20:47:24 +0000 UTCOh speaking of shitty Jackie Chan movies, I recently saw Cannonball Run ii which Jackie is in, that movie is hot garbage and you can't stream the first one anywhere so I had to buy a Blu Ray and I won't be able to watch it into Monday

2024-03-05 20:45:33 +0000 UTCRyan you didn't play What's New Pussycat 6 times, then a It's Unusual for the 7th, and then What's New Pussycat 10 more times?
JokersJuicyAss
2024-03-05 20:44:40 +0000 UTCThough the Diner they filmed at is probably the same from from 2000s Gone in 60 Seconds, and various other films I don't remember used this same diner set, it's not a actual working diner
JokersJuicyAss
2024-03-05 20:42:08 +0000 UTCNow that I think of it, most Word of Mouth movies today are for their DVD release, or more likely their Streaming release

2024-03-05 20:35:50 +0000 UTCIf you guys like movies that don’t have a specific time period, you may like fools paradise cause that’s a movie that doesn’t have a specific time it’s set in.
Luke Gordnier
2024-03-05 20:27:25 +0000 UTCOoh can’t wait for the coyote acme conversation
Luke Gordnier
2024-03-05 20:26:17 +0000 UTCI said this before but speaking of The Spy who Shag me, for the VHS there are trailers for Wild Wild West which you guys already did, and Detroit Rock City which is basically a Indie movie from what I seen

2024-03-05 20:23:15 +0000 UTCSteve always says (and I agree) that Goldmember isn’t horny enough.
Mary and Steve
2024-03-05 20:20:13 +0000 UTCGTA 3 has that weird Retro vibe, like the music is late 90s, the NPCs, the city, and some of the cars say 70s, now I think it does it worse than other media that does that given 3 still feels very early 2000s
JokersJuicyAss
2024-03-05 20:12:04 +0000 UTCAlso Michael Bay got his start in commercial, and man, to really hammer in how bad film is now, we miss a Michael Bay dumb action flick, plus Michael Bay know how to use CGI, he always did it practical for stuff like explosions, car chases and digital for more out there shit like Big Robots, meanwhile a legend like Martin just said, "Oh we can't get a bunch of those [Insert Racial Slur against Native Americans] ah fuck it just CGI them in, I already don't want to waste more money on them, oh Leo you want another million, oh here you go." As you can tell I recently watched Flower Moon, and now I believe Martin has lived long enough to be the villain
JokersJuicyAss
2024-03-05 20:10:21 +0000 UTCOh boy a new episode, while i'm not excited for this episode given I have a very small connection to it, which now that I think of it, it probably was because I was watching the music video to All Star, but I get to learn what's coming next, and for the after show, I get to see your reactions to the shit I sent you, since it's more than usual, mainly because I said fuck it and sent you more
