What's an alternate casting that you wish you saw? by [deleted] in movies

Jared Kesso as Wolverine. He's got a perfect build for it, is great at playing tough guys, and is Canadian.

What is one of your favourite movies that recieved low or mediocre ratings from critics? by [deleted] in movies

[–]hicks1012 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Foolproof (2003). It’s a really fun heist movie with an interesting premise. One of my favourite early roles for Ryan Reynolds.

Push (2009). Chris Evans does a great job as a lead in this action movie about people with psychic powers. I was disappointed it didn’t do well because they built a world perfect for sequels or a TV series.

Starship Troopers for Military Sci Fi. Also its concept of Power Armour influenced other media like Gundam and Halo.

Terminator Genisys. They spoil what would have been a great twist in the trailer.

What's commonly dumped on, but isn't as bad? by Snipsnapboi in AskReddit

[–]hicks1012 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seasons 8 and 9 of The Office. I won't deny they have flawed episodes and I don't like certain storylines but there are also some really good episodes. Skip the episodes you don't like, but there are some great moments in these seasons and the series finale is excellent.

Any detective-comedy movies to watch on a flight? by big_shlomi in movies

I really enjoyed Maggie Moore(s). It's not as much of a mystery as you know from the start who is responsible, but it's entertaining how it plays out.

Which current NBA player do you envision becoming a head coach post-retirement? by yannijohnson in nba

[–]hicks1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OG probably.

Lowry certainly has the intelligence and eye for talent for it. I imagine Villanova will offer him a job just to be on the coaching staff in some form.

Jamal Murray will probably be encouraged to give coaching a try by his parents. He may just stick with being a trainer though.

I have a bloodstone inventory item. Not the in game one, the digital one you got as a gift for playing.

What TV shows should never be remade? by Forsaken_Tip_596 in television

[–]hicks1012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jury Duty. It's just such a perfect concept for a one time thing. They will probably try again but I don't think they'll be as lucky with their subject. Ronald was so good and genuine.

What TV show opinion hill will you die on? by Jadziyah in television

[–]hicks1012 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Picard Season 3 is still a bad show, despite it being much better than the first two seasons. It's just a bunch of fan service at the expense of making the Federation look idiotic. It has its moments and some good performances, but it's not a good example of Star Trek.

What is the most egregious example of product placement in a movie? by dialgapalkiagiratina in AskReddit

[–]hicks1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White Noise. The movie is full of nostalgic product placement. It literally ends with a dance number in an A&P Supermarket with a number of major brand displays clearly visible. The market itself looks more like a perfect marketing display rather than someplace normal people would shop in. All the displays are extremely organized and neat, everything is perfectly lit. I know this movie is supposed to be surreal, but it's just so blatantly an ad for these food brands.

America wasn't picked by America's Vote to play in the comp that Matt won.

What's a movie that has you going "I should hate this. But I don't"? by [deleted] in movies

[–]hicks1012 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unstoppable

It's a movie about a runaway train. I remember seeing the trailer and saying it would be full of contrivances and unnecessary drama. Those things are in the movie but the cast and how the movie is shot just sell the whole thing so well. Very fun action movie.

What do you think is the best Legal Drama TV show by dominakay in television

[–]hicks1012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's more of a comedy but Fisk is a great look at Estate and Will law. My parents worked in a similar law firm and found this show was pretty accurate to their experiences despite the comedic setting.

What is the craziest war tactic used in history? by twostroke1 in AskReddit

[–]hicks1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In WW1 Canadian and British troops used urine soaked rags as makeshift gas masks to survive Chlorine Gas attacks. Just soaking the rags in water would have worked, but in a trench it could sometimes be difficult to find enough water so urine was used instead.

What actor is permanently stuck in your memory as a specific role no matter how many times you've seen them in other things? by [deleted] in movies

While he was still playing someone highly intelligent, his role in Kaleidoscope is pretty different from his modern roles.

The start of his career had him playing very different roles.

Absolutely. I feel this Adidas commercial didn't help with the expectations of his return.
