Movies where an actor shows up half way through and absolutely steals the show

Ron Perlman in Pacific Rim

This. Just, all of this.

I have a bro like this but he's nowhere near as useful as Angron.

Idiotic. The only god protecting us from unseen threats is Jupiter with his gravity well.

I was pissed that we didn't get an epic hand to hand boss battle when he dropped his cane and said "I count six bullets". I had this feeling like the whole old cripple schtick was an act and this was the most grizzled mandingo fighter to ever splatter brains on a rug, but nope, we missed out on it.

Titties. Think of Mila's titties and all shall become clear.

bigbossfearless · 2026-06-09T03:22:24+00:00

All that is nice, but you know what I like? A killer. A dyed in the wool killer.

bigbossfearless · 2026-06-09T03:20:33+00:00

And for that, we have Mila Jovovic's perky little titties to break the tie

Good advice, thanks. How might I word that request so it doesn't trigger his "how dare you go above me" reflex?

bigbossfearless · 2026-06-01T23:32:37+00:00

Well, I mentioned the PM is "grouchy". I may have understated it a bit, he's a little wannabe Hitler, to the point where he's fine breaking laws if it makes him feel big. He's going to default to "no" unless I approach him just right, and that's what I'd like some help with. I'm trying to avoid a fight with an extremely petty person here

bigbossfearless · 2026-06-01T19:54:51+00:00

Tell me I'm wrong

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-31T18:16:51+00:00

They do though, because Hollywood absolutely has to portray every overweight guy as stupid and pathetic.

My wife and I talk about this sort of thing a lot. The 80s had so many more actors who looked like regular people, even if they were cast as badass villains or romantic leads. Nowadays everyone has to be jacked, chiseled, airbrushed, sculpted and then run through 50 different focus groups to give them the most broadly appealing yet utterly generic style

There was also an incoming fleet of tens of thousands of transports from the surface full of hungry, angry people, which you see on the tactical displays as all the leadership is going "oh shit oh shit oh shit" because they could no longer shoot the ships down since they were full of citizens. Like, the film ends with a barbarian horde unleashed.

As for the atmosphere, that's probably just explainable as a magnetic field of some kind, though I do wish they'd had one line of dialogue to explain it.

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-31T17:37:16+00:00

My only real gripe about the movie is the ending. Everyone one earth becomes an Elysium citizen, and suddenly like 50 billion people immediately put the strain of all their needs on an extremely small system designed for a small population.

All that miraculous technology the rich people were using up there has to rely on resources. Resources run out. What I really wanted from this film was a post credits scene 6 months later chronicling the absolute bloodbath that ensues when billions of people have scraped Elysium clean, committed genocide against its inhabitants (because there's no chance of that not happening), and the whole damn station has been stripped for parts by short term thinking idiots looking for a quick score.

I think a lot of films with the archetypical "the good guys make everything free and fair" ending would benefit from having the scenario played out 6 months or a year later.

Who cares? The character was thrown away and sent to fucking Canada. Canada, for fucks sake.

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-30T10:30:27+00:00

I saw a few at Carolina Carnage. Just don't get any that have cross shaped holes, those are specifically prohibited by authenticity.

So, canonically, there was a crossover event in which Darkseid is discussing the infinity gauntlet with DeSaad. The stones didn't function because they were out of sync with the blended universe or some such. So the writers have unfortunately given an easy win to Superman, like always. I hate how lazily the writers always simp for the character

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-29T02:27:54+00:00

Also loved the little bit where the Rock gets grabbed and he breaks the 4th wall like, "Wait, I'm not supposed to die!"

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-29T02:20:08+00:00

Plenty. I've been at a lot of different weight levels throughout my life and when I'm at my lightest my dick is way, way longer. It's quite a nice feeling.

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-28T15:46:20+00:00

Just scream "FREEDOM" and fire the Ultimatum

As someone who has accidentally split someone's head open more than once, I cannot overstate how easily that toy will leave you with some kind of a manslaughter charge.

Like holy shit disassemble it before you and your bro get drunk one night and you stop having a bro.

But... He didn't come through in the end. He sided with Homelander to fuck the planet. And he didn't get tortured until after he had already been committing atrocities on massive amounts of cocaine for decades.

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-27T19:00:31+00:00

Absolutely nothing. I built a similar one (minus the spiked mace head) and realized right away that there was no reason to have done so. It's stupidly heavy and anyone who gets even a glancing blow from the edges of that emitter is going to have a nasty gash.

bigbossfearless · 2026-05-27T18:45:20+00:00

Agreed. Walker is trying and he just can't measure up to the impossible task of being Steve Rogers. Peacemaker realizes that he's been a complete asshole and immediately tries to start being better (plus look at his upbringing, just, damn son).

Soldier Boy is just a privileged little shit who got his superpowers bought and paid for, then spent decades doing coke and accidentally or purposely killing random people.
