Sam Jackson, DeNiro and Bridget Fonda were great, too. "Who's that?" "That's Beaumont." "Who was Beaumont?" "An employee I had to let go." And I totally forgot about Michael Keaton's Cock Shorts Detective. Awesome.
You probably dont care at all but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I love any help you can give me
@@Paul8820 I'll have to take your word on that one lol. I've never gotten around to seeing Mr. Magoo. But I would still put all my chips on Boogie Nights being the better movie.
If you like jackie brown, check out "Get Shorty", it's written by the same writer that wrote the book jackie brown was based on, "Rum Punch", written by James Elmore Lenerd.
I'm sorry but JB is such a strong movie from the beginning until the final scene with Ordell and Jackie. The ending felt stuck and he just went with utter fantasy to close this movie out. It really was an insult to the audience. Their is no way Samuel Jacksons character, Ordell, would not have let his guard down after 3 mins of meeting Jackie in the P.O.s office. He is all street from jump in this film. He wouldn't even had met her there.
I truly miss the movies. I remember an awesome day where me and my entire family went shopping then my dad took us to a double feature of American werewolf In Paris and then Jackie Brown right after. It was so awesome being in a dark theater with them, watching a pretty cool film and then the awesome new QT film. Very happy day.
I recall vividly going to Jackie brown when my dad was wanting more I think to see postman and we saw that the next day and then Jackie brown that same holiday weekend again
hahahah i LOVE how the trailer for _Jackie Brown_ make it look like some sort of hip, fun buddy heist movie with Jackie Brown on the same side as Samuel L. Jackson's character. that's hilarious.
@@sha11235 lasik eye surgery? Contacts? There are all sorts of reasons why he wouldn’t be wearing glasses… Are you implying that all the years he did wear glasses he didn’t need them? Because they just made him look so cool? I don’t know who told you that every single thing in your life had to be a conspiracy theory but you should kick that dude in the balls.
I am genuinely impressed Did you though at all during the screening nip to the loo ? With trailers that’s nearing four hours You deserve a medal I’m a fan of The Postman
I *HATED* Mr Magoo. Jim Backus WAS Mr Magoo, and when he passed, they should have let it go. But they didn't, and they cast Leslie Nielsen. Who was TERRIBLE! Seriously, the big problem was that when Nielsen did Police Squad! and Airplane!, he knew to keep himself in check - you play the show like you were doing Shakespeare: treat it as serious as possible, and let the humor of the situation and the seriousness of the character pull the comedy. That was a lesson we learned from Buster Keaton as the Great Stone Face. But somewhere along the route, Nielsen began playing his roles as if he KNEW he was in a comedy not the Stone Face at the center of the hurricane, and Nielsen lost whatever appeal he had. This is why Dracula Dead and Loving It failed, and this is why Mr Magoo failed. Mr. Magoo was NOT just a blind old bat. He was a blind old bat and a snob whose mind had closed years ago. THAT's where the comedy originally came from - it wasn't enough that he mistakes a bowling alley for his country club; he had to complain that someone had changed the interior without consulting the members! THAT was funny! But it wasn't "I'm blind" comedy - it's class comedy, pure and simple. And sometimes, that works! But soon the fact that Mr. Magoo was blind became the ONLY joke. The "comedy" was now directed at the lowest common denominator. And Mr Magoo manages to insult blind people AND sighted people! Only the comic style of Jim Backus kept us coming back for more, and Leslie Nielsen can't manage that style. It was simply not his thing.
I've been going back week by week Anni ersary wise and looking at s&e eps and applicable films as available... this month decided to start with 1997 and work through the whole month because i mostly couldnt wait to work through some of these (also have been looking at 87 anf 92 this year)...hadn't seen Mr magoo before which was astonishing in its ineptitude... I recall being severely let down by the postman which I've been putting off a revisit of as long as I can... I hated American werewolf... Jackie brown is a classic
American Werewolf was extremely low budget. Almost none of it was filmed in Paris. The park, street scenes and dungeon sequences were filmed in Luxembourg where, during that time, the government was offering tax credits to companies that made films there. Other outdoor scenes were filmed in Holland. A marketing ploy for European audiences was that at a big French name at the time, Thierry Lhermite, was in the film. He had only seconds of screen time and no dialogue. Locals with no acting experience were hired as extras.
@@sahej6939 Nothing was going to save American Werewolf in Paris. Julie Delpy might've been cute but it's not like hers was an Oscar worthy performance anyway. But you actually saw the film? I did because I was an extra in it. The Luxembourg audience cracked up because the "Paris" street scenes were all filmed in their capital city...which is pretty tiny. We all had fun pointing out shops buildings that we knew and even kind of searched for people we might have known in the background.
I saw it once in my life, in theaters, right before we saw Jackie Brown the same day. I don't remember Werewolf In Paris near as much as Jackie Brown 😊
As a little kid, I thought the education of Little Tree was absolutely boring and that Mr. Magoo was hilarious. Now that I'm so much older, I still think Little Tree is boring, but Mr. Magoo was absolutely stupid and terrible. Jackie Brown may be better than Pulp Fiction.
Unpopular opinion, (and yet completely true): _Jackie Brown_ is Tarantino's only great film. And I don't think it's a coincidence that Tarantino's best film is based on the work of another, superior writer. Another unpopular opinion (and, yet again, completely true): Tarantino's writing is incredibly overrated. It's overly verbose, pretentious, and self-congratulatory. Tarantino seems more interested in showing his audiences how clever he is, how many words he can fit into a dialogue, than he is writing compelling characters and narratives. Ultimately Tarantino is a stylist (a highly skilled one, no doubt) who has very little to say about his subjects. He substitutes verbiage for insight, floridity for discernment.
I liked "Pulp Fiction" best and enjoy his films but I kind of agree Tarantino is kind of enamored with himself..he has a lot power a lot of directors don`t and his films are about 30 to 40 minutes too long.......
20:00 - 'The Postman': 👎👎, 'Mr. Magoo': 👎👎, 'Jackie Brown': 👍👍, 'An American Werewolf in Paris': 👎👎, 'Afterglow': 👎(S)👍(E), 'The Education of Little Tree': 👍👍
@@fawkkyutuu8851 it's total garbage, there are like 30+ better 80s/90s post apocalyptic flicks, a ton of bad B-pictures have better ideas and are more rewatchable then Postman. Do you like anything as long as it is in a genre you enjoy?
