I might actually be the only person who thinks that The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is an enjoyable movie. I've not seen it since it was released, but is it really any worse than the comic book movies that are being made today?
When the director Spike Jonze asked the crew on Being John Malkovich if any of them wanted to lean out of a moving car and throw a beer can at Malkovich's head, about 60 hands shot up to volunteer, haha. The guy chosen nailed it on the first take.
With 824 acting credits to his name, Eric Roberts is officially the hardest working actor in Hollywood. In 2021 he appeared in 34 movies, which is insane. They were probably all shit but that's not the point. Legend.
Michael Caine's portrayal of an American oil baron in the film 'On Deadly Ground' is comedy gold. He essentially just wears a bolo tie and says "Goddammit" a lot. Great stuff.
I think The Game is a decent movie, and it's hugely entertaining, but I can't think of a drama or thriller movie with more plot holes. The whole operation must've taken months of planning to pull off, and he could've easily died on multiple occasions. Crazy stuff.

It's brilliant, he said in an interview that he wasn't expecting to be hit on the first take as it was shot at night and the beer can was only a quarter full, making it more difficult.

Yeah, he was in Sally Floss: Digital Detective just last year, you must be the only person who didn't watch that. That's embarrassing for you.
The number of parents who rented the wrong Frozen for their kids on Amazon is hilarious.
I'm not gonna lie, the thought of young children crying and screaming as a pack of wolves tear people apart onscreen gives me great pleasure.
I honestly think that 'Ronin' has the best car chase scene ever put to film. 7 minutes, no music, practically no dialogue, action-packed without being unrealistic, brilliantly structured and no CGI. This is cinema!
"What do you think is the best movie of all time?"
"Citizen Kane"
"Cool, what did you like about it in particular?"
"Ehhh...Rosebud and that"
"You haven't seen it, have you?"
"I haven't, no. Best film ever though"
Ray Winstone deserves a lot of credit for some of the roles that he's taken on. Can you imagine someone like Tom Hanks or Will Smith playing any of the characters that he portrayed in these films?
It's been over 10 years now and I still can't work out why Spike Lee did a remake of Oldboy. What was the best case scenario in his head?
Additionally, Sharlto Copley's performance is the worst I've ever seen in a movie. Calling him a pantomime villain would be kind.
Ad Astra is crazy because there are moon pirates and killer space monkeys, and there's no context given whatsoever, we're just supposed to go along with it.
I watched Casino Royale again recently and this part always cracks me up.
Call me cynical, but I doubt very much that these lines were in the original script.
When a British person is given the wrong change: "I'm awfully sorry but I believe you may have made a slight miscalculation".
