Let’s at least give Tom Cruise *some* credit here. We can’t say “no one” has a level of dedication to filmmaking and stunt work without at least including him in the conversation.
Anyone else think the superchats catch up is almost as good as the show? Drinker use to make these live, but he quickly realized people send him 3 times more superchats in the catch up, making some catch ups over 2 hours.
48:00 The bad thing about Tarkin in Rogue One is that Wayne (Scorpius) Pygram actually played him in a cameo in Revenge of the Sith. He could probably have done a decent Tarkin for Rogue One.
Only huge fans and people who were told knew that’s why the character was in that scene though. To everyone else he was just Random Imperial Officer On Bridge.
@@WyoCutlass71 You didn’t know. You suspected just like I did and anyone else may have, but there wasn’t anyway to actually know until at least the credits rolled.
@@SumDumGy but your comment was only huge fans and people who you told could “know”…. Now you’re saying no one knew until the credits? Anyone with eyes who had seen “A New Hope” had a pretty good idea who that was supposed to be on the bridge. It didn’t take a genius
@@WyoCutlass71 Yes, but the “anyone” was the everyone else who didn’t have foreknowledge. Those two statements weren’t contradictory. Even as I entertained who that nameless Bridge Officer could be, I also acknowledged in my head it wasn’t necessarily the case because, not only did nothing occur to make that Officer have any significance, it’s what, 18 years prior to Star Wars and Tarkin could well be a nobody at that point. It’s all suggestive, at best.
I remember the Rush Hour 2 outtake MauLer is talking about. Jackie attempts very intricate stunt. Stunt goes wrong and Jackie clangs to the floor with a loud THUD. Crew: "OMG! Jackie! JACKIE! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Jackie, standing up, clearly not okay: "Jackie ALWAYS okay!"
The Forbidden Kingdom is a fantastic movie - I do hope you are able to make time to see it. I find it very charming and feel it has just the right amount of campiness. I didn't realize that Jet Li was playing Sun Wukong right away because that's the first time I'd ever seen him smile in a movie. 🤣
Streaming services are completely clueless with making series. They let the evil soulless bean counting accounts set arbitrary targets and cancel the series if those arbitrary targets aren't met. Traditionally a series was filmed one or a few episodes at a time and they actually listened to audience feedback to improve future episodes. Series were seen as an art form to be respected and nurtured. Now they are just entries on a balance sheet. I'm still pissed about Firefly being cancelled and the Debris series was freakin awesome and still got cancelled. There are about a dozen series I started getting invested in only to have them canceled- so I gave up (with just a few exceptions).
I have a “Many Faces of Vader” T-shirt. Love that thing. Hey, I bet that could be a popular thing for Amandla Stenburg. She only has the one face 😮too.
Regarding Jackie Chan doing his own stunts, and the comment that there is nothing like it in Hollywood. Not exactly true, but you have to go back a bit in time. Buster Keaton broke his neck doing his own stunt in the movie Sherlock Jr. And he didn't even know 'till years after. He just rested for a bit and then continued with the movie.
34:50 because you need a local server or else you need to send the data through undersea cables to everywhere in the world from a single server location which is way more expensive and would probably grind the world internet to a halt with the amount of traffic required from netflix alone, let alone youtube or a smaller streaming service. And if you only had one copy if the connection was interuppted in any way the entire service would be useless.
The Foreigner is Jackie Chan's Best performance he's incredible in that film but my personal favorites are Police Story, Dragon's Forever, Armor of God,Crime Story i would highly recommend to check this movie's out
I just got finished (last night) rewatching the entire series. They got away with a lot of humor that would be totally unacceptable to "modern audiences"
On the subject of actors in long-running roles dying unexpectedly: back in the 1960s, there was a character called Jerry Booth in Coronation Street. He wasn't very old, and the actor who played him (Graham Haberfield - thanks Wiki) died totally unexpectedly. Fans of the show wondered how the writers would handle this; usually when an actor died their character was said to have emigrated or something similar. Viewers were quite shocked when the writers wrote the death of the character into the series, echoing real life in a way that no one had expected. How did they manage this? They were bloody good writers. They didn't have cgi to fall back on so they had to use something called talent. CGI, like green screen before it, will be the death of writing until the craze fades away and people get back to just telling good stories - and the move will be driven by audiences mocking their efforts (just like we did all those Doctor Who fake backgrounds in the Seventies).
Tarkin in Rogue One always bugged. If there was ever a time where recasting would have been generally understood and you could have some fun with it, it was that example. I mean, Peter Capaldi was right there, man.
23:01 is this where we find out that Drinker has been a Segal fan this whole time and using his influence, like the incantations of some internet based cult, to bring back Stevens career!?
The thing with the Acolyte is that it killed off the few characters that were/potentially could have been interesting and tried to force the boring/entitled characters down the viewers throats. And this, in my opinion more than everything else, like the bad storyline, bad plots, awful dialogue, wooden acting and bad directing, shows the intentions of the makers.
Not a fan of efap, comes across as elitist and as a giant circle jerk. I do like Mauler on other streams. I don’t always agree, but he almost always backs up his points with well formulated arguments.
If someone told you the second Alan Wake game wasn't good, they lied to you. I couldn't put it down until I got the platinum trophy. It's a very creative game, and there's things I won't spoil that you've never seen in a video game before
Chan, had out takes, but yuo got to see that they had bags and mats for stunts, they cared about people getting hurt, they wanted a story also, not just what we have today. We know this from his movies
Reebok just released Aliens sneakers that perfectly replicate the Reeboks Ripley is shown wearing in the movie. Sadly, they made the cardinal sin that so many make when creating a prop from Aliens: they put Weyland-Yutani logos on the tongue and on the soles! When will people get it through their heads that there are other companies in the Alien universe, and W-Y does not have their fingers in everything?
Definitely Goku and Vegeta Naruto and Sasuke have only ever fought like twice, and the majority of the time was Naruto trying to bring him back. Batman and Joker aren't really rivals, Joker might view him as one though
I loved season 1 but gave up after the first episode of season 2. I gave it a second chance a couple of months later, was underwhelmed by the reveal, and gave up again part way through season 3. I'll probably watch the rest in anticipation of Drinker's review of the full series, but everything that I've learned vicariously about season 4 has not filled me with confidence. Am I right to be apprehensive?
