I enjoy the unspoken joke of a guy who looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger  going through life pretending to be an unassuming software salesman and everyone just buys it.

so many jokes are just straight up cartoon logic, too. obviously there’s the uzi falling down the stairs bit, but for my money when the bird lands on a truck and then it falls and explodes? that’s the good stuff. that’s literally looney tunes.

I love Heston’s dressing-down of Faisil (hat tip to the author for that info nugget) after Schwarzenegger and (T) Arnold’s deflections on what a mess they made. “What makes you think the slack I cut him in any way translates to you??”

bill paxton describing jamie lee curtis as having ‘an ass like a 10 year old boy’ remains the craziest thing in this movie.

I think it had more to do with not wanting Red Hulk to have a stache, which doesn’t disclude Ross having one but because it’s live-action people would immediately ask “where does his stache go when he’s hulk?”

Aside from everything else, you think it’d be easier to add a mustache in CG than take one off, no?

yeah but to be fair they had him hanging with the noose pretty hard during that scene as their way to cover it. (kinda like River with the whip to the chin)

exec 3: don’t worry he’s just gonna sound like he’s dying every time he says anything, just like you asked. we’re paying him 50 million dollars for 2 movies, but we’re shooting the equivalent of 4 movies so it all comes out in the wash.

I can’t be the only one who’s crushingly disappointed by the lack of ’stache on Harrison Ford?

Actually a study by E&Y some years back found that 88% of U.S. millionaires were self-made.  That doesn’t mean there weren’t helpful connections or supportive families, but at least it wasn’t inherited.

What, just because he looks like Orville Redenbacher trying to sneak into a college party?

I think that’s close. It’s more like culturally we prefer rags to riches stories of “midwest nobodies” who scrape and struggle to get noticed in show biz. It’s the whole stupid fucking American exceptionalism that we get drilled into us as kids. (And I don’t want to hear from any Adbusters anarchist dillholes that…

Executives and senior “leadership” in every industry are largely a bunch of incompetent sociopaths and morons. NONE of them “earn” their exorbitant pay and perks through competence and capable leadership.

Hard same. I don’t know why but I’ve been calling them kitties since GoT and it doesn’t help any.

“I leave my iPod Nano, full of music to take life less seriously by.”

Yeah, it’s probably the best of a lot of bad options. Could go plural like Twisters and do Gladiators which probably doesn’t fit the story, or slap a Part II on the end and imply too much of a connection to the original, or go with The Gladiator, like The Predator and just make it too easy to confuse for the original.

idk in the world of every studio being scared of just calling a sequel 2 i’m really glad this isn’t called like ‘gladiator: requiem’ or whatever.

I’m guessing you’ve never seen David Harbour pick up a pair of ice skates. THAT was a bad ass Santa.

Yeah, that’s a real Ron Donald Don’t.
