I'm more likely to watch if that's the case. Andy Lau is a total dreamboat and Matt Damon has a frankenstein head.

Jet, Jackie, Bruce, Chow Yun-Fat, Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, etc. have been saving the world for decades in Chinese movies.

Ken Watanabe is Japan's answer to Digimon Honsou. Anytime a cringe-inducing stereotyped noble, stoic native sidekick to the white hero is needed he'll be there.

That's a great double bill. Hope you are only temporarily deaf.

Eminent chroniclers of African-American street culture Gary Marshall and John Hughes were, sadly, unavailable.

Seven Days: Eight Nights

Amazing that those old timey basketball shorts were able to "contain" Dr. J and Wilt the Stilt.

…In that Murray's drunken belligerence is confined to when the cameras aren't rolling whereas Reed's was full-time?

Passing Breeze is lovely and all but Magical Sound Shower is the real gem.

The original Rocky makes you wonder if Stallone betrayed his talent or if, as certainly happens, he only had one good story to tell.

Yes, they're some horrible and vague chimera that embodies the aspects of pop culture fandom that one, personally, is not keen on.

I see. I'm a confused old man who has never been able to figure out what, exactly, a hipster is aside from someone with ironic Civil War general or barbershop quartet facial hair. Since females can't grow lumberjack beards or handlebar mustaches I cannot identify lady hipsters.

Haven't seen it since it came out but weren't the tropes were more video game/anime nerdy than "hipster"?

He should just watch everything that Peter Falk ever did.

The bit where he enthusiastically smashes the coffee cup like he's at a banquet in Valhalla is the funniest thing in any Marvel movie.

I'd always assumed that if Texas seceded Austin would be some sort of walled-off citadel of sanity, like West Berlin in the Cold War.

Yes, the movie makes no sense from stem to stern but the complete and total opaqueness of the whole thing which is buffeted by the silly macho one liners totally makes it work.

Well, you've got late period Brando and peak obnoxious capital-A "actor" Edward Norton doing an I am Sam styled disabled person impression for much of the film so, yeah, scenery was chewed, masticated, and gobbled.

One of my most quoted films particularly on account of the world weary Jean Reno: "Everybody's your brother until the rent comes due" and "Seven lean years, seven fat ones…" DeNiro: "That's what the Bible says." What the hell are they even saying? It doesn't matter because it sounds mysterious and cool.
