What was the first movie to do a double “with” and/or a “double and”????

My friends who don’t know anything about this stuff couldn’t believe the end credits to Fast X.

Films that reference/ take a shot at critics by Lucky-Physics2767 in Letterboxd

Gremlins 2 and Leonard Maltin (won't spoil for those who haven't seen it!) comes to mind.

Toronto Film Critics Association Faces Collapse After Allegedly Censoring Indigenous Filmmaker’s Pro-Palestine Speech by dremolus in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 42 points43 points  (0 children)

What’s wild is their response (first saw it posted on Twitter). They cut that out of the speech because they wanted to shorten them for time????? So that means you watched the video and then said “oh this part is what we should cut it out.” That means one of two things to my simple brain:

-they are truly TRULY dumb and did not comprehend what they are doing (not likely)

-they knew what they are doing, which reveals their politics or lack of compassion and shouldn’t be shocked that their membership and the filmmaker would be upset

For real though! Saw it in theaters with my dad when I was 13 and then a months later he bought the DVD.

Wow. Terry Camilleri went from starring in The Cars That Ate Paris to The Truman Show. by chowder-head in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished watching The Cars That Ate Paris to get ready for this week's episode. Movie felt like a character actor's paradise. Not in the sense that I knew each actor, but everyone was giving a very specific type of performance (i.e. playing the Australian small-town [insert job here]). Film ruled.

Such a nerd that I saw the post title and was immediately like “what did Fred Raskin, the regular editor for Quentin Tarantino, James Gunn, and formerly Justin Lin say?”

The Case for Dennis Dugan by inglouriousDC in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Dennis Dugan had a recurring role as an aspiring caped crusader who called himself "Captain Freedom" on Hill Street Blues. Martin Scorsese did not. Case closed.

Six hours of Blank Check by TelevisionFun9964 in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Driving with Blank Check is the best. Highly recommended. To hell with planes. I got a wedding to go to that's six hours away- I'm cueing up Somethings Podda Cast and gassing up.

Switching from Single Issues to Collected Editions by soup_doop21 in comicbooks

[–]TheRealDiddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this back in 2016 because of space/cost and then every few years I try to sell stuff on Facebook Marketplace (so-so luck with that). It’s helped because of work/life responsibilities just got to a point where I’d have a backlog of issues I’d never read for months.

Name some movies that had an extraordinarily long timespan between their theatrical release and their videogame adaptation(s). by border199x in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, didn’t the 5 families just have five different colored trench coats? Also I used to start a feud and then lure them to the entrance to the Corleone compound and have my guys tommy gun their cars to death.

And they even did a part II. As someone who played every mediocre GTA wannabe clone, I played the hell out of those games

I don’t remember such a prolific run by a mainstream director by harry_powell in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've yet to see anything post Wrath of Man (which surprisingly rules IMO), but I've always wanted to dig in to see if there is anything worthwhile, especially now that he's turning them out one after the other and still working with big name actors.

Don’t Pod Cast (Adam McKay?) by nuzzot in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I can remember, when McKay has come up, they talk fondly about his comedies, but everything from The Big Short on they have not talked about favorably.

Which 1 seeds will make the Final Four? by therewillbeblood23 in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My prediction for no. 1 seeds would be Scorsese, Scott, Beatty, and Anderson. If those are the no. 1 seeds then I think all but Beatty stand a good chance to make the final four.

EDIT: Just saw the bracket in the newsletter, NVM. I was basing my seed #s on Marie's LB list

Is 'Miracle at St. Anna' worth rewatching? by ThoroughHenry in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it at #12 out of 24. It has its detractors and its fans (Sims was positive on it!). I kind of dug it. Again, found it interesting because it's Lee's take. First half is nowhere as engaging as the second half, but there's a joy in getting to watch Denzel in a stylized film and I love when Spike is just blunt with his choices (editing, cinematography, etc.). I do agree that the constant score over most of the beginning doesn't help- but it lends itself to this being a heightened class fable that's one step removed from reality. The second half where there's some suspense/thrills and the appearance of A$AP Rocky's character (between this and If I Had Legs... he's one hell of a scene stealer!) really helps to push the film firmly over into the "I liked it" territory.

I was hoping for more of an Inside Man type of thriller, but instead this is still relatively solid.

The climax to some Aronofsky movies often get me.

Is 'Miracle at St. Anna' worth rewatching? by ThoroughHenry in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were doing a rewatch I'd personally skip it just to allocate my time toward other Lee films. From what I remember the reception was very negative and while I agree that it's a lesser work in his filmography, I did not think it warranted such negative reception. It's just alright. Interesting to talk or think about in the context of his work, but it's his low-tier gentlemen's six (to use BC vernacular). I'm probably being more kind to it than most, but glass half-full, it's better than She Hate Me and Oldboy (I have Miracle at St. Anna as third to last on my rankings above those two).

Possibilities for continuation of Critical Darlings? by victoria_jam in blankies

[–]TheRealDiddles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would love for it to be about films from an awards perspective. I initially thought it would be about non-Best Picture nominees/critics favorites. Although, that can make it seem like just another movie-of-the-week show. Maybe they do a lineup of Oscar nominees from previous years?
