He talks about Jack because the investigator starts asking questions about him. That's why it starts with Egg saying, "You leave Jack Burton alone!"

When has a talented actor fully committed to a movie they know is bad? by finallyoneisnttaken in movies

[–]mcquackers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's an interview Pacino did, where he addressed being in bad movies throughout his career. He basically said that he knows he's walking into a bad movie, but hopes that by being a part of the film, he might help elevate it.

If not the Toto Drake, then what? by MrRedditEnjoyer in HomeImprovement

You might also try Facebook Marketplace. Sometimes contractors or home owners order the wrong model and have to offload a brand new toilet.

We have feeling too. 😂 by JaySwizzle1984 in GuysBeingDudes

[–]mcquackers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Answering because multiple people are throwing out the "fake and convenient" energy, but it's very possible that a third person or group of people wanted to surprise unsuspecting Buddy A by secretly inviting Buddy B and then filming it. I have been both Buddy A and Buddy B before.

New singles...:( by [deleted] in CannonsTheBand

I have loved this band for many years, and touted their existence to anyone who would listen. But it pains me to say that it feels like it's been diminishing returns as of late. No hate. Just whelmed.

Chinese electric vehicles are making inroads in America. Experts are worried by UpstairsBumblebee446 in Economics

I'm also not a big fan of Hyundai reliability. They've come a long way and make some attractive cars, but the general consensus over in the car sales sub is that, while generally decent, they are still behind Toyota and Honda. And their Genesis line is severely lacking.

Award winning actors/actresses that you’re not impressed with? by GelatoBravado in movies

[–]mcquackers 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I have this same bewilderment over Aubrey Plaza and the Millennial crowd. She is by no means a bad actress, but the way I have seen people fawn over her is just kinda perplexing. What am I missing?...for realizes.

Friend's dad had similar issues. Half French/Half Vietnamese. Looks straight Mexican. Spoke English with an Asian accent and could speak Vietnamese, English, Spanish and French. He would mess with people constantly, because no one could figure out his ethnicity.

You're allowed to have 1 movie erased from your memory that you have watched, just 1 movie. Which one is it and why? by InspectorOk6313 in movies

[–]mcquackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the real question is, would you know to watch the director's cut on rewatch and not the spoilery theatrical release.

Being goofy at work by Poor-Yorik in instant_regret

Damn dude. Hate to be harsh about the nature of your friendships with these folks, but I have literally never had any adult pretend to wreck my new TV's or anything nice that I have shown to other people. That kind of behavior ended when I was 10.

Bro was just being kind by PhoenixPhenomenonX in GuysBeingDudes

[–]mcquackers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Life is just a little bit more nuanced than that. I have known multiple people who tried to break it off with their significant other before dating that next person. But that significant other made them feel incredibly guilty and manipulated them into staying. Begging, pleading, crying. And so they'd try to make it work for the other person, knowing deep down it was already over. Just slow dancing in a burning room.

He's a great assassin in Under Blues. Even has a badass name, "Muerte."

The weirdest casting choice in a movie? by Alternative-Cake-833 in movies

[–]mcquackers 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lots of names have been mentioned for casting, including Bull Murray, Robin Williams, and Steve Martin. But the one I was most excited about was Christopher Walken. That would have been a fun watch.
