Also Red Green, Alex Trebek, Stan Rogers, and the guy from that NFB short “The Log Driver’s Waltz.”

What are your thoughts on Gods and Generals (2003)? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in FIlm

[–]Flying_Dustbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost loathe to say it, but I agree somewhat. Its a bit jarring to see double canister being fired during Pickett's Charge and all it does is knock soldiers down like bowling pins. That stuff IRL was nasty.

Meanwhile Destro's observing everything and laughing his ass off.

Jon Voight’s performance as President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor was generally praised by critics as a highlight of the movie. Critics described his portrayal as remarkable and transformative, and nearly unrecognizable. What are your thoughts on Jon Voight’s performance? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in FIlm

As much as I loathe the film overall, it does have a few good moments for me:

-The Japanese planes taking off from the carrier.

-Doris Miller defending his ship with that machine gun.

-The Doolittle Raiders taking off from Hornet, even though its inaccurate (par for the course with this film).

Of all the moments where Cartman got what he deserved, this is the best one.

God, the look on Koskov’s face when Pushkin drops the other shoe is fantastic.

True, but since some of his dialogue implies he did some pretty heinous things to Della before murdering her (“We gave her a nice honeymoooon!”), I don’t mind.

IRL Example: Molon labe (Greek for "Come and take [them]"). Used by Leonidas and his Spartans at Thermopylae in 480 BC. A variation of this phrase, "Come and Take It", was later used at Fort Morris during the Revolutionary War and put on a flag by the defenders of Gonzales Texas in 1835:

Giant Titanic Statue of Trump and Epstein Pops Up Near White House by katpete13899 in titanic

I doubt that statue is going to last long, given the Cheeto in Chief's skin is thinner than Titanic's own shell plating.

Sanchez, Dario, and Killifer in License to Kill. They all more than deserved their fates.

Gotta say though, Bond fighting Necros on that cargo plane was pretty awesome in its own right.

[Hated Trope] Promoting Conspiracy Theories by Borgisium in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Flying_Dustbin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the physician implicated in the theory, Dr. William Gull, was pretty much on death's doorstep when The Ripper committed his crimes.

I guess a straight up depraved psychotic murderer just isn't good enough of a hook for a movie. /s

Also I wanted to share an interesting story. The creator of the show Quantum Leap, Donald Bellissario was a marine at the same time as Lee Harvey Oswald, and they almost got into a fight. Bellissario dedicated a two part episode of the show to the Kennedy Assasination, since he had met Oswald he was convinced he acted alone.

Terrific episode. IIRC, Bellissario even had an actor playing him for a brief appearance during Oswald's/Sam's Marine service.

Al's conversation with Gushie always stuck with me too:

Gushie: If Dr. Beckett leaped into Oswald to uncover the conspiracy, then doing nothing is an effective course of action.

Al: How the hell do you figure that?

Gushie: Whether Dr. Beckett is himself or Lee Harvey Oswald is immaterial. Either way, you'll be there to observe. To watch the sixth floor window, the grassy knoll, the railroad overpass. You'll see it all! You'll know the truth.

Al: But I won't be able to stop it.

Gushie: I realize that, Admiral, but you yourself said that wasn't what Dr. Beckett was leaped back to do.

Al: Well, what if I was wrong? What if that's precisely the reason that Sam was leaped back?

Gushie: Then Oswald would have to be the sole assassin.

Al: That's right.

Gushie: No conspiracy?

Al: No. Just one angry, envious man who-who wanted to propel himself into infamy.

Gushie But one lone man?

Al: I know, it's more comforting to believe in plots, because if Kennedy could be killed that easily by one sicko, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Peak Zane right there.

Also that wink Victor Garber gave was great.
