OT: The Movie Thread

[TCTC]

I agree. His filmography is trash. I think Black Adam might turn out to be pretty good though, but we'll see.

Meanwhile, between 1982 and 1994, Schwarzenegger starred in

- Conan the Barbarian
- Conan the Destroyer
- The Terminator
- Commando
- Predator
- The Running Man
- Twins
- Total Recall
- Kindergarten Cop
- Terminator 2
- Last Action Hero
- True Lies

And a few other less notable titles.

Arnie rules.

What's great about Schwarzenegger is that he never seemed to take himself too seriously. While many of his movies are all time classics, Last Action Hero is probably his most underrated role, imo. He was at the height of his career at the time and was still willing to make fun of himself. A meta movie before meta even became a thing.

I feel like Rock’s earlier movies they at least had some decent story lines to them. I feel like a lot of his movies now a days are similar to the Fast & Furious where it’s just a giant stunt movie where they don’t really even focus much on having a decent story line.

Maybe that’s just the action genre in general these days. Perhaps not having those type of special effects they have now back then the writers couldn’t just ignore the story line as much as they seem to do now just for crazier stunt & fight scenes.

I don't think I've seen one good movie with him.

Chick flick disguised as a courtroom drama. I liked it.

He seems to be a solid actor and he has lots of charisma, but I don't think I've seen one good movie with him. He could be the new Schwarzenegger, but unlike Arnold all he does is crap.

Johnson takes himself too seriously. I feel like everytime he talks, he's cutting a promo.

Yeah that's true. I've rarely heard him talk like a normal person. He's probably spent too many years in wrestling.

I enjoyed his wrestling persona, talking about himself in third person and all that, but he does seem a little full of himself. Not nearly as likeable as Arnold.

The new Elvis movie is on HBO. I’m gonna definitely watch that probably over the weekend when I get some time to.

Sucks his manager was such an exploitive douchebag even if he was responsible for his initial success....

I think it's just all the HGH he consumes goes straight to his head

The BBC basically said that it was trash. So who knows.

Scathing..lol

Tom Hanks’s Pinocchio is a soulless, cynical, wooden nightmare

This recreation of the 1940 masterpiece, courtesy of Robert Zemeckis, is an insult to its memory, and a dead-eyed exercise in box-ticking

Finally watched Another Round last night. Obviously it was fantastic. Can’t go wrong with Mads + Vinterberg.

@Beef Invictus , you have TCM on? Incredible Bondian 60’s spy actioner, but completely with puppets. Wild stuff.

That sounds like Thunderbirds. Legendary movie. Unfortunately I'm missing it

That’s exactly it. It’s f***ing amazing.

Took a left turn into sci-fi after one hell of an acid trip dream sequence. Our intrepid puppets have now landed on Mars and are battling hostile Martian life forms.

Yeah man. Thunderbirds is wild-lit

Even I got today's framed in one.

It's always going to be baffling that many, many people thought this was the best idea. Thunderbirds is something else.
