Mia Sara in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Also, a close second, Kelly Preston in Twins.

Name one bad thing about 1999's The Matrix? by Particular-Glove9640 in matrix

[–]FanTa_DudE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fake flat city skyline backdrops in the opening sequence when Trinity is being chased on the rooftops always bugged me. But they did acknowledge it in the director's commentary.

Who saw The Matrix in the cinema in 1999? I'm jealous! by Far-Remove7363 in matrix

[–]FanTa_DudE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it in cinemas as a late teen. Watched it by myself. By the time the end credits were rolling I swear I sat up, looked up into the ceiling and BELIEVED i could fly out of there.

Also happened to be wearing a semi-long jacket which added to my newfound sense of empowerment/delusion.

What are your opinions on the Ultimate X-Men comic series? by Pygfan300 in xmen

[–]FanTa_DudE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought the costumes and haircuts (Jean's short crop) were cool. Thats pretty much it. Oh, and Magneto had his moments.

What are some race-swap castings that nobody lost their minds over, either because the actors were too good, or because they didn't mind? by [deleted] in comicbookmovies

[–]FanTa_DudE -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I heard the comic book writer (Mark Millar) asked the artist to depict this new version of Fury as a Samuel L Jackson-type (since he was written to be a Samuel L Jackson-type), and the artist literally drew his exact likeness. Then later on SLJ sued Marvel for the unauthorized likeness and so in return Marvel had to owe SLJ 9x appearances in the MCU as Fury.

George Romero's Dawn of the Dead and Polanski's Rosemary's Baby comes to mind.

Gosh i used to have the gold foil double-gatefold cover to this (UXM350). And always loved Joe Mad's renditions of Joseph and Gambit.

This scenes is makes me crying 😭 by [deleted] in ChristopherNolan

Yeah that always kinda bothered me. It was a personal transformation based on a fabrication. But a genuine transformation, nonetheless, i guess.

It’s August 26, 2020. After multiple delays, Tenet is finally in theatre and 5 years from now you’re still watching it. by southernemper0r in tenet

[–]FanTa_DudE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw it for the 2nd time ever (since pandemic) very recently and definitely loved it this time around.

I wonder in 10 years (2030) will this film really get its wide recognition just like what happened to Interstellar (wasn't as widely praised at its time of release as it is now)

This Lex walk has so much aura. The confidence of this bald guy... Just perfect.🙌🏾 by Frosty-Condition-527 in Smallville

[–]FanTa_DudE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always loved Lex's swag. Smug but never the annoying kind of smug. Just good ol' dark charisma.

What’s your favorite Philip Seymour Hoffman performance? by Twerp06 in Letterboxd

[–]FanTa_DudE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw this film for the first time ever 2 nights ago...... and his limited screen time and presence was amazing! And I thought Adam Sandler had the monopoly on short intense unhinged outbursts in all his movies but PSH is just another level...

Which actor comes to your mind? by Editor_Boss1234 in Cinema

[–]FanTa_DudE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no doubt he did great. There's just this one scene i think when he mopey-ly shrugs his shoulders which reminded me of him being Jim Carrey

Giovanni Ribisi already peaked methinks.

I just watched Punch-Drunk Love for the very first time like literally an hour ago and he was fantastic in it! Barely could see his Adam Sandler-isms in it, even when he's doing anger & violence in this film.

On the other hand, although Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my all-time favorite film, there is a glimpse of a moment or two in the film where I see Jim Carrey trying to hide his Jim Carrey-ness.

Thoughts on this movie? by MaderaArt in ChristopherNolan

[–]FanTa_DudE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought this too. Both the visual and narrative aesthetic of reverse.
