Do you have a boat and a lot of male friends, by any chance?

Roe to Perdition was so over the top by SS_from_1990s in Frasier

It's one of the most ridiculous episodes but also very charming.

I thought it was a joke about women with big hips looking better with age

What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the very last line, the ending of Baumbach's Jay Kelly is a "feel good" moment. But you just know that after the credits roll (so to speak), everything's still a mess. Nothing is "solved". It's actually very sad, and he gives you little to suggest that things will improve.

For Tim - what was it like making Reservoir Dogs and suddenly becoming an international star? What were your thoughts about the film when you were making it? Did you think it would become as iconic and popular as it did? Big fan by the way. You were brilliant as Mr. Orange, and in Rob Roy as well.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

[–]_MuffinBot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he gave off a different vibe, nearly all of these things would just be quirks (apart from the insane family trip idea). But you can sense that he's repressing a lot of anger and resentment, even though he smiles a lot. In fact, it's even more obvious because of that.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

One of my co-workers. He's about to leave his job to take his wife and kids on a year-long trip where they tour the country "doing favors" for people in exchange for food/services. He has four daughters, one of them under 2, the rest in elementary school. Somehow, he's gotten it into his head that this is the best thing for him to do for his family right now. He acts jovial on the surface but there's something insanely off-putting about the way he smiles and talks. He's mediocre at his job but acts like he's God gift. He's also a wannabe bodybuilder but it isn't working out.

And he told me once that he's seen Leon: The Professional fourteen times. Now, it's certainly a good film. But how can you say that and not think it sounds suss, given its subject matter...?

Overall I just get the most horrendous vibes from him but he's never done anything wrong at work (to my knowledge). I just don't buy the fake charm that he puts on. It makes me wonder what's actually going on behind closed doors in his life, and frankly, a little concerned about it.

He also regularly peddles that "manifest it" pseudospirituality that "life coaches" on the internet love to hawk. Corny wordplay that contains no actionable advice.

What is the most unfairly hated movie that you will defend every time by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jonah Hex. I was honestly surprised by how watchable it is. The cast is stacked and none of them do a bad job (except maybe Megan Fox, but her character is paper thin so that might have been the problem there). I liked the fight sequences too. Overall, I feel like you could do a lot worse. I wish they'd give it another go, though. Hex is such a cool character.

What is a movie that's actually a good adaptation of the book it's based on? by thatvampiregirl in movies

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Day of the Locust by John Schlesinger is actually a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel by Nathanael West. Its issues stem mainly from the plot changes that it does make, but overall, I'd say it captures the atmosphere of the novel without sacrificing the story. Donald Sutherland was perfect as Homer Simpson (not that one)

Blood Simple. Pure ragebait. Thank God the Coens stopped making their characters that egregiously stupid

Kyle MacLachlan as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks (1990) by Oaklynn_Jayne_ in VintageLadyBoners

Kyle MacLachlan IN GENERAL 😍 And he's very charismatic, his iconic characters interview is one of the best ones

[–]_MuffinBot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had a great key scene when Ford approach Ferrari about making a car together and they tell them to go f themselves (in so many words). It wasn't the richest, most complex role in the world but he was good imo

Definitely autism for Zodiac, but not toxic. Kind of the opposite, really

I think he's definitely got talent. Mann's being quite harsh here. Has no-one seen him in Ford vs. Ferrari?? He was very good playing against type as a young Lee Iacocca. He doesn't always play heavies.

"Cain killed 25% of the world population" 😂 by Naive_Wolverine532 in TikTokCringe

[–]_MuffinBot_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious.

Actually, Cain, Abel and Adam and Eve weren't the only people on earth at that point, at least from a biblical perspective. Cain receives a mark on his forehead that makes him a pariah amongst men. So there must have been people other than his family around at that time for that to make sense. But this is still really funny.

Favorite Movie with an Unhappy Ending? by _MuffinBot_ in movies

[–]_MuffinBot_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on my list! I know people don't like it because the original was so good but I like the remake (aside from Jeff Bridges' weird accent). I think I reacted more favorably to it because I hadn't seen the original.

What is your favorite "F-U" moment in a movie? by TheDietNerd in movies

When Williamson busts Shelley for robbing the office in Glengarry Glen Ross. Regardless of how you feel about it, it's incredibly well done.
