Perhaps a different Sam to direct. Sam Mendes, maybe?

He also married into it

Interesting having Toby Stephens playing Poseidon, when he’s the son of an acting god, Dame Maggie Smith. I always thought that him and Jamie Bamber would work well playing siblings.

Thanks.

Chandler plus guns is probably the most accurate three word summary of 90s action movies.

His character was Scottish, not Canadian. Therefore he wasn’t playing a character from the same country that he was from. That was my point.

They only pretend to care about women’s health when it’s being used to justify their position. Conveniently ignoring how much worse it is for women if they manage to get their way, and ban abortion as well as some forms of contraception.

It’s almost like it’s really about exerting control over women, instead of being concerned with god’s will or protecting the unborn.

Movie Anakin is like the first draft, and Clone Wars was the finished script.

That’s the fine line that they need to walk. It can reference local culture enough for it to have meaning to their main audience, without relying too heavily on niche references that it alienates the rest of the audience.

Ah, you’ve discovered the likes of Midsomer Murders. Shows where you wonder why anyone would choose to live in these villages.

With some of these remakes/reboots, they make the character and story so different, that they might as well create an entirely new character and go from there. In recent years, their movies based around new characters have typically been better than their remakes. It’s not like Disney needs the character brand name…

They must have a cloning facility somewhere. He looks a lot like infamous British alt-right loudmouths Paul Golding and Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). Standard issue haircut included.

Especially when you consider than not only has she grown up during that time, but she had everything that she had ever known torn away from her. The way that the Jedi treat her, only for them to be killed without resolving the issues between them. Then spending her life being hunted. Plus the revelation of what…

As a Brit, I have a question. Do people outside of the UK get the whole Britishness of Hot Fuzz or just appreciate it for being funny, and well made?

Yeah. 90s action movies were leaning more into not taking themselves too seriously. Things were done with more of a nudge and a wink to the audience. The epitome of that probably being something like Last Action Hero or Demolition Man.

You make a number of references to the movie’s relevance to immigrant families in the US. I’ve seen similar comments from other Latino reviewers.
