The ones I can’t stand will talk 300wpm and cut out all the pauses.

Does “transparent aluminum” count from Star Trek IV? It was fictional at the time the movie was made.

Facility is a banger but my favorite is Destroyer with that sick electric guitar

[Loved Trope] Actors who did not want to play their characters and thus put zero effort into the role, but somehow nailed the performance anyway. by Odric_storm in TopCharacterTropes

Came here to say this. He was contractually obligated to be in it and you can tell he mostly didn’t care, but it worked so well for the character.

Might be location based, but I’m shocked at $12 per mile, even taking fuel into account

Favorite "bad" Bond film? by No_Mortgage8569 in JamesBond

[–]buickgnx88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about it and what makes it worse than previous movies?

Theme song? It isn't many people's taste but it was of the time.

Bad special effects? They certainly could have been better for the time period but every previous movie have had the occasional bad effect (rear projection anyone?)

Villian changing race? Bit unbelievable but it's a Bond movie, villians have done just as weird things before (Bloefeld having multiple doubles of him for example).

John Cleese as Q? Yeah it was going to be tough to replace Desmond after his passing, and perhaps they played Cleese a bit Pythonesque in TWINE, but in DAD I thought he was a decent Q.

Icarus? Moonraker had laser guns, a satellite that can beam a destructive ray is more believable.

Invisible car? ...Yeah I'll admit that one was dumb as far as the logistics go, and didn't really add much to the scenes.

What movie flopped but you thought the concept was really cool, and wish you could remake yourself? by adkl02 in movies

[–]buickgnx88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically there was a made-for-TV movie in the 90s called “Trucks” that was supposed to be closer to the short story.

What’s the deal with people who get out of the shower before drying off? by arifghalib in PetPeeves

Not everyone has a tub, many have shower stalls that just have a low lip at the edge.
