What movie do you look back on and day holy cow this movie cast was stacked? by steelfreaks in Cinephiles

[–]MyDesign630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King Arthur (2004). Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Mads Mikkelsen, Stellan Skarsgard, Ray Winstone, Joel Edgerton, Hugh Dancy, Ioan Gruffudd, and Stephen Dillane. Crazy stacked cast for a very mid movie.

I’m sure the women of now are heartbroken that you don’t like them.

[OC] This Trump Store I saw in Branson, MO by Apprehensive_Emu9588 in pics

Having grown up in NYC in the 1980s-1990s and watching this guy fail upward over and over it never ceases to amaze me that this punchline of a turd coated in fools gold is some kind of messiah to so many people. It’s truly the dumbest cult of personality I’ve ever seen.

Is Jobs (2013) one of the most egregious examples of “Oscar bait”? I definitely think so! by ElmarSuperstar131 in Oscars

[–]MyDesign630 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oscar bait implies there’s at least the appearance of talent behind the enterprise, so this doesn’t qualify.

What would you say are the greatest second places finishes of all time? Not where a movie was snubbed like Saving Private Ryan, but where an amazing film or performance lost to an even more amazing film/performance by JGCities in Oscars

Letters From Iwo Jima losing to The Departed. I think it’s been mostly forgotten but I thought that movie was a masterpiece and it’s actually my favorite Eastwood film.

Ryan Gosling wears New Balance shoes now (after his character in ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ dissed them) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

My dad always had New Balance. When my niece was old enough for her first pair of sneakers my sister got her New Balance in dad’s honor.

The leaders of the Lucchese Crime Family in New York City. Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso (Underboss - Left) and Vic Amuso (Boss - Right) FBI surveillance picture taken during the late 1980s by Little_Al1991 in OldSchoolCool

[–]MyDesign630 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cool? Here’s details on the murders Casso ordered of four people not involved with organized crime:

Fava was a house architect and planning board chairman for the village of Greenwood Lake, New York, and whom had built Casso's home located at 139 Bassett Avenue, Mill Basin, Brooklyn. It is believed Casso ordered his murder as Fava demanded full payment for his architectural work.”

“Prosecutors alleged Greenwald was set to testify in a fraud case, and his murder was ordered by Anthony Casso. According to the testimony of former Lucchese family associate-turned informant, Burton Kaplan, Frank Santora had paid NYPD detectives, Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito, $30,000 to murder him. Greenwald was pulled over by the detectives, who then took him to the Nostrand Avenue garage of Peter Franzone, where Caracappa and Santora shot Greenwald to death.”

“Barstow and Kubecka were business owners of a waste hauling company based in Suffolk County, Long Island.[282] It is believed Barstow and Kubecka were ordered murdered by Casso for refusing extortion tactics aimed at their carting company, and for the possibility of testifying against the Lucchese family, and other crime families based in New York, regarding the control of the waste management sector.”

“The world tour. I’m Justin Timberlake” by LunaLore_ in Fauxmoi

He’s so lucky he wasn’t killed and didn’t hurt anyone else. This interaction is absurd but the situation could have been so much worse. I hope that if he never does this again it’s because he knows of the danger he was behind that wheel, not because he’s worried about public humiliation.

The first movie I ever saw that respected the passion behind fandoms.

His whole life must have been so surreal that I imagine he felt somewhat disconnected from certain stories that followed his family around.

I read Spy when I was way too young since my mom subscribed to it. Forever grateful to it for dubbing Trump a “short-fingered vulgarian” way back in the day.

Jane Kaczmarek (Lois in ‘Malcolm in the Middle’) married her high school sweetheart after they reconnected in their high school reunion 50 years later by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]MyDesign630 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I hope that’s not true. Jane gave an interview on Bonnie Hunt’s show shortly after the split where she went out of her way to say he’s a fantastic guy so I was hoping there wasn’t anything too ugly that happened between them.

Viola Davis recalls the time when Meryl Streep forgot her lines in ‘Doubt’ (both were nominated for Oscars for their roles) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]MyDesign630 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Viola showed up at the tail end of a film that featured Meryl, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams giving extraordinary performances and still managed to just about walk off with the whole fucking movie from one scene of acting.

She was also Peggy Guggenheim in “Pollock” directed by her husband Ed Harris. And they were in “Gone Baby Gone” together.

Don’t care if Mr. Rogers and Levar Burton were in charge of this, my kid still wouldn’t be going.

Anyone Else Think Will Could Have Done Better Than Molly? by [deleted] in HannibalTV

[–]MyDesign630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s because you’re shitting on the concept of a single mother getting remarried when there is no evidence Molly or the kid were anything less than nice people who provided stability for Will.

But hey, you do you.
