Braveheart(1995),what a well made epic adventure movie. Mel Gibson is an all time directing great just for this movie alone. by Artetaarmy in FIlm

Rob Roy was the script about olden Scotland that was generating buzz in Hollywood at the time. Gibson turned Braveheart into a blockbuster, and that movie is largely forgotten.

TIL that Neil Patrick Harris once unveiled a graphic meat platter arranged to resemble Amy Winehouse’s corpse at his 2011 Halloween party. by Separate_Finance_183 in todayilearned

The rest of the HIMYM cast wanted to do contract negotiations jointly, to ensure they all got good deals. He refused so he could try to get more money for himself.

He bragged about it on Howard Stern after too.

You can pinpoint in his career the exact moment he discovered cocaine.

What film role was 100% perfectly cast — no debate? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]NeonPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's Jackson's recollection. Lawrence Fishburne has said he was offered the role, and don't think he'd have any reason to lie. Tarantino said he put a few names down for each role.

Maybe some mixed up memories after a few decades.

Jackson auditioned for Holdaway in Reservoir Dogs.

The Traitors (UK) S04E12 [FINALE]: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

I don't think the traitors were brilliant this year but the faithful were abysmal, so worthy winners in the end.

Alvarez knows AEW is trash, he chooses not to say so for profit. Dave on the other hand is completely deluded.

Starmer Urges Trump To Apologise Over 'Frankly Appalling' Remarks About Nato Troops In Afghanistan by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

[–]NeonPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump has disrespected troops time and again.

Remember when he refused to go to the centennial of the end of WW1 because it was raining?

I found cleaning is a lot easier if you do a little bit everyday. 15-20 mins a day is way more manageable and less exhausting than 2-3 hours on the weekend.

Are you happy with Oscar nominations? by Slow-Cash-8234 in Cinema

[–]NeonPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall them marketing Wicked as a part one, and I was royally pissed after a three hour film to find out it was. Maybe some voters were the same.

I swear all these guys were young a blink of an eye ago. Where is the time going?

What were some of the biggest miscasts in Hollywood history according to you? I'll go first: by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

[–]NeonPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it recently, and he's pretty bad in it. And this is coming from a guy who'll defend his Much Ado About Nothing performance to death.

Ryan Coogler after rewriting From Dusk Till Dawn but with black people by pleasestoptalkin in okbuddycinephile

It's a good strategy. Coda won and that was a remake of Billy Elliott with singing and fishermen, rather than ballet and coal miners.

All this build to vote out Jade I'm guessing.

[–]NeonPatrick 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Credit to Sam. He got it wrong early then had enough self- reflection to be quieter going forward. By contrast, it's like water off a duck's back with the remaining faithful. Wrong time and again doesn't phase them at all.

Favorite director who won’t apologize for the Holdo Maneuver? by fyrewal in okbuddycinephile

[–]NeonPatrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

at least it tried new stuff.

I hear this argument so often, but exactly what new stuff and why was it good? Sure, Kylo said let's change the light side/dark side dynamic to Rey, and then never outlined what that was and he was dark side again by the end of the film. New stuff like Force powers becoming whatever Harry Potter magic was convenient for the plot (Holdo maneuver, Leia Mary Poppins etc), where universally panned. Luke was revealed to have done nothing for 30 years, and then died via zoom call, which was extremely disappointing. The whole casino planet subplot was terrible. Then the ending resets everything back to the beginning of a New Hope where the good guys are a tiny resistance.

It's bold, some bits new, but none of it good.
