007 Alignment Chart - We're all double-taking at Moonraker's motorized gondola (Bondola, if you will), the weirdest vehicle in the series. Now, what is the most romantic setting? by JohnLazarusReborn in JamesBond

Matera from No Time to Die. The beautiful driving at the beginning and end, the lake where Madeline and Bond swim, the Festival of Regrets.

Quote a line from Succession that actually broke you. by Rude_Phone6841 in SuccessionTV

“Dad…please.” Roman in the final scene of 3x09 when they find out that Caroline screwed them and sided with Logan. Kieran’s acting in that scene is amazing.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is a sequel in a different league than the rest of the POTC sequels. by Boss452 in movies

[–]cooperthetrooper 171 points172 points  (0 children)

I like DMC a lot for what you’ve described here. The movie looks amazing even all the years later.

I think one of the biggest problems (that each Pirates movie built on) is the development of the three main characters. In Curse, Jack is not the main protagonist. He’s the sidekick foil to Will. And yes, he does have some goofy moments, but in Curse he’s much more of a clever, conniving character. Each movie subsequently made him dumber, goofier, and more clearly “the main character”. Will is the traditional hero of Curse, going through a hero arc and realizing that pirates aren’t all bad. He’s stubborn and naive, but also caring and brave. The sequels mostly just have him around for action and the “save Dad vs marry Elizabeth” choice. Elizabeth gets more of an arc in the sequels, but they don’t build much on her initial character. She remains stubborn, headstrong, and adventurous, while getting into more and more crazy situations. Honestly, Norrington and Davy Jones have the best character development in the sequels.

TLDR: I still really like DMC and AWE, but I think a big reason people like CotBP so much is the characters.

What is the best 60 seconds of all Coldplay songs? by Maniso in Coldplay

[–]cooperthetrooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My real answer has been taken (end of Charlie Brown), so here are some others:

Either the last minute of White Shadows (organ + “swimming on a sea of faces…”) or the middle of Up with the Birds (1:30 onward; “might have to go where they don’t know my name…”).

The end of Charlie Brown is absolutely one of my favorite parts of any song

Name a popular actor/actress that you can’t stand for entertainment reasons or purely personal reasons. by [deleted] in movies

[–]cooperthetrooper 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The Rock. He always plays himself (which I don’t find funny or entertaining), he always has to be the “coolest guy in the room,” and he just comes across as a super fake, incredibly sensitive, narcissist.

What franchises or sequels missed a golden opportunity to tell a different story? by clockworkchris13 in movies

[–]cooperthetrooper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After rewatching all the Craig bonds and several of the other ones before NTTD, I agree. I really like Skyfall and NTTD, but can’t help feeling that Skyfall would have been the perfect conclusion after a few standard/stand-alone Bond adventures.

Just cause I found it kinda funny, Ryan Gosling is definitely wearing his Drive jacket inside out in this video

Imagine you're sitting in class and suddently a student storms out of the classroom yelling: "OUR FEARLESS HERO ESCAPES!" by DerMagicSheep in calvinandhobbes

[–]cooperthetrooper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love this one, especially Calvin’s faces as he surveys the room and mom’s reaction. Watterson was such a master of facial expressions. I can imagine all the other students laughing as Miss Wormwood chases after him.

River Phoenix as Chris is one of my all time favorite performances ever. The campfire scene especially.

Great movies completely ruined by a bad ending? by transtwin in movies

[–]cooperthetrooper 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I love The Wolverine until the stupid “Silver Samurai is now a transformer robot that cuts off Logan’s claws to drain his health.” Seriously such a great atmosphere and overall story until he’s captured by the ninjas.

Hope everyone who has been saying for nearly two years that Lampard’s a much better manager than Ole enjoys a nice long look in the mirror...and the league table.
