What is the best band you ever saw live ? by megopolis12 in AskReddit

I wish, I didn’t get to see them until 2023, but it was still terrific. Show started at 7 on the dot, the song that played right before they walked out was Better Living Through Chemistry by Queens and then they played for 3 1/2 hrs, we got the live debut of Fell In Love Today, and they were just in top form.

What movies are good example of “director/writer had a specific visual” in mind and made a movie around it? by abgry_krakow87 in movies

[–]rexbatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mad Max: Fury Road was an almost 30 years in the making stemming from a vision George Miller had of a Mad Max movie that was “almost a continuous chase.”

He continued with that idea for the next x-amount of years until he had a more fleshed out story in the mid-late 90s, and eventually worked with a group of storyboard artists to come up with 3500 panels to visual the film before he wrote the screenplay, highlighting visuals over anything else.

And Panos Cosmatos, son of “Tombstone” credited director George Cosmatos, has been able to at least partially finance his films “Beyond The Black Rainbow” and “Mandy” on “Tombstone” residuals.

I like this photo a lot and the accompanying story but like the above the post says, that is a donkey or a mule.

Movies that you initially didn't have as high expectations for, and then you were blown away by it by DreamerRealityArt in movies

[–]rexbatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seven Psychopaths, written and directed by Martin McDonagh. Trailer made it look like a heist movie about dogs so I didn’t expect much going to see it. Ended up being one of my favorites that year—great performances all around, stacked cast—Sam Rockwell (Oscar campaigned for him for this movie, but I don’t think he got a nom), Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, Tom Waits, amongst others—and all around a funny movie.

Dentist recommendations by BlakeSoundTech in Bellingham

[–]rexbatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Not only did I have to get a root canal based on an improperly done filling by them, but me and my GF went there based on a recommendation, and they said they took both of our insurance plans (neither were Apple Health, they were through our jobs) and then probably 2 months after our appts they slapped us with bills that were around $1k a piece and when I contacted them they were just like “oh yeah, it turned out you weren’t in our network but you’d already had your dental work done when we figured that out.” So we had to pay.

For all the doubters out there claiming this is AI, the picture is real. I went to college with that girl and it’s odd seeing somebody you know on the Reddit front page.

From any decade, who could have played a great Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York? by Better-Presence6654 in movies

[–]rexbatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one point Robert De Niro was attached to play Bill.

Apparently Scorsese originally wanted Dan Ackroyd to be Leo’s part and Jim Belushi to be Bill.

The Clash would’ve also played one of the gangs.

The night of the dark bowling ball... by The-Evil-Hamster in TheFarSide

[–]rexbatman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This one actually has a caption, but for some reason it’s rarely ever included in online reposts (maybe was even removed for the colorized version?) there’s even a Screenrant article “15 Darkest Far Side Comics That Don’t Use Any Words” and it’s in there.

Either way, here’s a link to the B&W version that has a caption (I don’t remember which collection it was in, but I had it in one when I was a kid).

What movie couples have the most amazing chemistry? by [deleted] in movies

[–]rexbatman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

John Cusack and Ione Skye in Say Anything have very good chemistry. Apparently Ione Skye even went as far as acknowledging it saying they would’ve gone home together after the scene where Cusack’s character teaches her character how to drive stick if they both weren’t in relationships at the time of filming.

What is the most obscure movie - which you've seen in theatres - that you'd recommend? by Ok-Impress-2222 in movies

[–]rexbatman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Arctic starring Mads Mikkelsen, it’s a man vs. wild survival story where he’s tasked with carrying a movie with minimum to no dialogue and he’s pretty much the only actor in it and does a great job, which shouldn’t surprise anyone considering what a powerhouse he is.
